Chapter 1
Recap: The vision Alice had must have been 18 years in the future, because a tall and beautiful girl, who loosely looked like baby Catherine, yet too similar to Bella, was holding hands with a gorgeous young man. The man looked closely to Edward, but his hair was a blondish white with blue tips. It was Aaron. The two were holding hands and facing out into the crowd. Bella walked up to Catherine and stood just behind her daughter, forever young with beauty. Edward walked up behind his son and stood halfway behind him, like his wife. There was a large group of strangers in front of the family. Behind Edward and Bella, a few feet, stood the rest of the Cullens in their eternal immortal perfection. The strangers in the crowd bowed their head to the clan, and gave them their trust. Catherine, Bella, Edward, Aaron, Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie had become the new Volturi. They ruled over all vampires and kept the laws. No-one could come close to matching the power of the Cullen clan. They kept your thoughts, present and future actions, present wants and emotions, and defence against anything that you could try; brute strength and alluring siren beauty all talents and protections that they perfected. Most of all; and important above all else, were the twins. They harnessed the gifts and united the gifts, using them at will. Creation and Destruction ruled at the heart. The entire group was proud, but not cocky, united with love. Their eyes shone blue; all but three. Bella's eyes were rainbows of color, Aaron's eyes were ice blue, Catherine's were fire red with a yellow tint on the rim.
Aaron POV
An eternity of high school sucks. More so, are your aunts, uncles, mom and dad attending the same school with you? This year, when we relocated, I managed to suck all of my aunts, uncles and parents except two. Alice insisted that she stay in high school this year, and naturally Jasper wanted to stay with her. Dad was ecstatic to finally get mom to go through College, although a bit disappointed to be away from us.
I have medium length hair that looks white, and it has a frosted blue at the tips. My eyes are a freakish ice blue, but I like it, everybody that looks into my eyes becomes entranced, and it's like they are frozen there, in my eyes. I have a muscular build like my dad, but not as tall. I'm half-way between my mother and father's heights, which is nice. It makes me look more muscular, and with my dad's looks going to high school is becoming quite a nuisance. I can relate to Rosalie how she doesn't like people staring at her all of the time, but it feels nice to receive it all the same.
Catherine is a natural beauty like her mom. She has our dad's height, and that's about it. Her hair is below her shoulder blades, and the color starts out a chocolate brown like her mother's, and it turns fire red as it reaches her tips. When matched with her fire red eyes, she's a deadly trap. She seems to think that it's nice to go to high school, and to have the entire family with us is nice. She disregards how large and abnormally beautiful our family is. She might be a bit naïve at times, but she's all heart. She helps out anyone who needs it; whether it is at school or home, she's always helping someone. Half of the people at school are her friends, but the ones that aren't don't bother to do anything, it's more like they are neutral, but what can they do with such a large family, plus a guy like Emmett that hangs around. Our personalities clash like fire and ice, but we love each other regardless. We are the first and only vampires to be born. Not made, but actually born from two vampire parents (Bella is a half-breed, but still half Vampire).
I know that I am different. We have a transcription of Alice's prediction from seventeen years ago framed in the livingroom. Mom says that it is of the gravest importance, which it will be us someday. It was then that she started to train us, for anything and everything, and teaching us how to use our powers and harness them. I don't think that she'd be impressed if I froze the teacher, killing him, because he singled me out in a class of thirty other students.
The bell rung, finally, and I rushed at a fast human pace out of the classroom full of sour smelling teenagers. Oh, another thing about me: apparently my mother's distaste for human blood got passed down to me; it just smells sour, like the werewolves do to us, we hear the very few that are left pacing around our house every once in a while. I've given them a chill when they get too close; they then howl in frustration, it's really funny to see wolves coated in icicles in the middle of summer! It makes being around humans a real turn-off. Imagine smelling something ten times as worse as body odor from everyone you are around. I just don't breathe when I'm trapped in a classroom with them.
I went out to my car and got in the drivers seat, waiting for the others. I was like my dad in that way, I insisted on driving. The other's don't mind, but when it's me and my dad fighting for the driver's seat he cheats and uses my weaknesses, like taking off for school early and leaving me behind, and parking it as close to the exits as possible, so I give in because of the stench. It's all in good fun though.
Alice, Jasper and Catherine piled into the car at the same time, and I turned down the radio.
"How were your days?" I asked as I pulled out of the parking lot, somewhat trying not to pry into their minds. Unlike my dad, I had control over whose mind I heard. Lucky me.
Alice spoke up first, apparently having seen a vision, which was apparent through her enthusiasm. "It's about to get better! We were scheduled for a training session once you get us home, The rest of them are already home. No wonder, with Edward driving. I swear, the older he gets the faster he goes.
"Another training session, hun?" Catherine asked with disguised interest. "Do you want the mind-reader or the influencer?"
"I think I want to take the influencer this time, I have a few new tricks up my sleeve. Plus, my influencing is more advanced than yours, but nothing compared to hers. I'd like to cool off her confidence for a while, and if you tried to heat it you could hurt her." I gave her a playful sneer.
She hit my arm playfully. "Ok, but I have a greater chance of winning now, because if I light the forest on fire, he always wants to put it out, forgetting that it's controlled. I then pounce in for the kill!"
"Should you two be talking tactics in the car with us? Maybe we will accidentally leak them to the mind-reader?" Jasper was trying to provoke us, but Catherine was faster.
"Aw, Jasper, Alice, you two would never do that to us, would you?" She unleashed the full power of her combination of her mother's sweet pout and her dad's dazzling eyes on them. They looked at her for a minute and laughed lightly once.
"No, we couldn't do that to our favourite niece, nephew on the other hand…"
"I'm hurt, Alice. You care so little for me?" I played.
"Maybe I'd like to give your poor mother a toe-up, since you have gotten stronger since your last training session. At the end, we will be having a doubles session. Can you two go up against the parents and exit triumphant?"
"Damn right! We are starting to block our powers from our parents, which means that we can disrupt their connection, and strike in their confusion!"
Jasper looked, impressed, to me. "You sound like Emmett."
"I'm working on that. I am working on confusing my voice to sound like Emmett's, and send nasty thoughts dad's way sounding like Emmett. He then glares at Emmett, which starts a fight, and dad usually comes out the winner, and in his triumph he forgot about me and Catherine, she then strikes, and when dad looses, mom looks to him to see if he's alright, and I strike, making us triumphant. I am almost a master manipulator."
"You think fast and thoroughly, but what if they get tipped off? Through someone's mind?"
"They wouldn't dare!" Catherine hissed.
"It's your first win, do you think that it would be that easy?"
"Actually, it will be that easy, except for me and Catherine ordering our parents frozen, and attacking before they can reverse what we have done, it is easiest and most humiliating."
"And we are going for humiliating." Finishing each other's sentences always makes Alice grin.
I pulled into the driveway and saw Edward and Bella leaning up against their new Volvo. (I'm going to refer to them as Edward and Bella, it's less confusing and works better.) My mind already started working at full speed, I opened my door quickly and darted off into the forest to Bella's right, Catherine darted off in Edward's general left direction. They turned to each other and nodded once, then darted off in our directions.
It has started.
