A/N: Obviously, I don't own Twilight.
Bree POV:
I closed my eyes, knowing that, soon, it would be the end. The Volturi had decided my fate. I was, for lack of better word, doomed.
"Wait," One of the Volturi spoke.
I cracked an eye open. But then again, it could be trick. What if they made me let my guard down then killed me… painfully? I quickly closed it again.
"She is gifted," he said with disdain.
I heard the mind reader, Edward, speak. "Please, let us keep her. We shouldn't waste such a special gift."
I wondered that the heck they were talking about. I've been alive for almost three months, and I haven't shown even the slightest trace of power- beyond the usual vampire ones, of course.
"Fine," the Volturi agreed. "But if she is not tamed within a few weeks, we will be here to check on her… and we won't hesitate to kill her." He sounded extremely disappointed the way things turned out.
In perfect unison, the group of vampires turned and left, not without doing something that caused Edward to snarl. Obviously, he has a strained relationship with the strange, creepy vampires.
After they left, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. All the yellow-eyes seemed to relax, and they faced me.
"Open your eyes," a female voice chirped.
I complied, still a bit wary of the human. She was the only way I could convince these people to take me in, so it probably wouldn't leave a very good impression on them if I killed her the second the Volturi left.
"Don't," Edward said.
To distract myself from the human, I thought of the people that took me in. I was pretty sure that Carlisle was the leader by the way he talked to me earlier, and the older woman was his mate.
"You're right," Edward said stiffly. "This is Esme, Rosalie and Emmett, and Alice and Jasper," he said, gesturing to each of them in turn. "And of course, Bella."
He said the last name with such adoration that if I were a human, I probably would have puked up my lunch. It reminded my of Diego, and then I remembered Fred.
"Fred," I gasped.
Does Bree sound like an absent-minded ditz? Because I wanted to explain some things, but it makes her sound like she has a really short attention span.
