Chapter one- The Volturi Scout
'Sonya,' Aro's voice echoed in my head, 'Be careful, we do not know much about these newborns, or who is leading them.' I bowed to Master Aro and took my leave. That was three days ago and I had finally caught the freshest trail we had seen yet.
I ran through the trees in Forks, Washington, following the mysterious marks lightly. I sniffed the air and smelled fresh blood on the troop of newborns I was following,
'If it isn't bad enough that I am tracking them, I forgot to feed before I left. I should have been wiser.'
I turned invisible, knowing it was best to track the newborns without being discovered, I knew I was getting close and as much as Aro was able to teach me about newborns I did not wish to be outnumbered and captured or even killed. My mind went back to my conversation with Aro earlier.
'It is the duty of the Volturi to eliminate any threats to our existence, as you know our existence remains a secret, these newborns are threatening it and we cannot allow that," he paused and he put his hand on my shoulder, 'My dear we need you to scout ahead and find the Vampire responsible for this mass amount of newborns.'
'Who will be coming with me master?' I asked him.
'No one, we want you with your unique and valuable gifts to find them, this will not be a confrontation my dear, just a way to better understand them so the guard may be better prepared.'
'Yes, Master Aro I shall leave tonight," I replied.
The blood scent got stronger and broke me from my thoughts; I slowed my pace and leapt into a tree to avoid a newborn getting a track of me. I looked down from my perch in the tree to see that two newborns were coming back. They stood right below me; I listened intently to see if I could retrieve any information.
"Do you think we are being followed John?" A young female asked.
"I'm not sure Lena," John answered, "But we need to get back to our leader and she will tell us what to do."
"Do you think the cursed Cullen's are following us?" Lena asked on edge.
"Don't you dare speak that name; you know what she will do to you." John hissed.
Lena was taken back by his anger, and stepped back.
"Lena," John said, "You know I do not mean you harm, I just do not want to see you get hurt."
She nodded and all of a sudden I heard a mountain lion running up behind them from the direction we came. I shifted to look to that direction and saw the mountain lion was fleeing a vampire who was right on his tail, he was blonde and quite gorgeous. Tall slightly tan skin, medium blonde hair, and odd amber eyes,
'He's a Cullen,' my mind screamed.
He stopped attacking the lion when he saw the two newborns and sneered at them with a wonderful Spanish accent,
"Who made you swine?"
"We won't tell you, Cullen trash, our mistress wishes to extend her love to Jasper." Lena laughed at the Cullen.
"But we can't let you leave now that you've found us our mistress would love to meet you." John told the Cullen and with that, Lena and John charged the Cullen and attacked him. He evaded Lena, but caught John's fist right in the face; he stumbled back and regained his balance, just to take Lena's foot to his chest. That knocked him to the ground I could not see him, just the two newborns throwing wild punches and kicks.
'Even though he is a Cullen I can't let him be taken out like that," I thought to myself. I jumped down from the tree and made myself visible.
"Hello, dear friends," I said striding towards the newborns. The looked at me as if curious to my intent, I took a fighting stance and put up my shield,
"Come get me."
