Chapter 1

Serina Tarken was 5 years old, she was your average little girl sweet, trusting and totally adorable. She had an older brother and a younger sister Josh and Georgina. Her mum was a 32 year old workaholic she was an estate agent and her dad was a laid back vet. Serina was a lovely girl and she had a talent for drawing and singing. But both her parents didn't want her going down that path. It was on the family's trip to Italy that Serinas life would change.

The family got out of the airport and into their car it was a long drive. Serina was sat on the left hand side and she was looking out the window counting how many motorbikes she could see.

"18..19...20" she said her eyes fixed on the motorway. She had black hair that was tied in two pigtails and had soft brown eyes. All she was thinking about was the clear blue pool that their holiday villa had. She looked away from the window and instead looked at the book on her lap. Peter Pan. It was one of her favourite books along with beauty and the beast. No matter what people told her she firmly believed that faeries and magic were real and one day she would prove it. The motion of the car eventually lulled her into a sleep.

She woke up to her brother shaking her. Serina did not like Josh he was 14 years old and was always mean to her and he always got the best stuff. It wasn't fair. She got out the car and looked at the villa it was big but she just wanted to jump in the pool. A cry to her right told her that Georgina had woken up. Serina liked Georgina more than Josh but she still found her annoying. Georgina was 2 years old. Serina ran into the villa she looked around in the hall for a second before bolting out the other side. The pool was amazing she ran to jump in the crystal water when her mums voice stopped her.

"Serina! What do you think you're doing? You have to unpack first then you can go in the pool" her mum scolded her and Serina pouted she hated waiting. She headed back to the villa. After unpacking Serina was hopping with impatience to get in the pool. Finally her mum nodded and she dove into the pool giggling as her brother took ages to come down the ladder. Girls were so much better than boys. She blocked out her family as she swam, she could only stay in the shallow end though. Her mum was taking care of Georgina and dad was looking through some leaflets, Josh was avoiding her and swimming at the opposite end of the pool. She floated on the top of the water. She loved Italy. It was so warm and nice she was sure there were some castles here. Serina loved stories about knights and castles and princesses. She was sure there would be some here.

Later that night Serina lay on her bed, mum was busy with Georgina and dad was planning tomorrow. She sighed and reached over to her big book of fairy tales. She wasn't a strong reader but she always had to have a story before bed and mum was busy a lot of nights. She opened her book to the princess and the pea and read the story to herself. She finished up and slid the book underneath her bed. The hall light was on so nothing would get her tonight. She smiled and pulled the covers over her head.

The next day

Serina stood in front of her mirror and put her hair in pigtails, she was wearing a pair of blue shorts and a white top with a daisy on it. Her dad had decided to visit the city of Volterra. She skipped down the hall where her family was waiting. "Come on slow poke" her mum called as she buckled Georgina in her seat. Serina felt very grown up around Georgina because she could sleep by herself and do her own seatbelt. She sat in the car and began singing 10 green bottles sitting on the wall. At 5 green bottles her mum told her to be quiet so daddy could concentrate. She sulked for a bit before singing in her head .

They did find a parking place eventually, the city was very busy.

"Remember don't let go of mummys hand" her mum reminded her and she nodded. Serina looked around as her family went on the city tour. She was bored and hot.

"Mummy can I get an ice-cream?" She asked pulling her mums hand.

"Later Serina the tour isn't over yet." Serina groaned. She paused to look at the ice cream store and her hand slipped from her mothers. She sighed and turned around and she saw a busy street. Fear overcame her and she looked around. "Mummy? Daddy?" she said looking everywhere, she felt tears in her eyes and ran off in any direction looking for a familiar face, but all she saw were strangers. She was crying now. Just running blindly hoping to find her parents. She stopped in an alley and looked around, there was no-one here. She knelt down and started to cry harder. When a noise caught her attention she turned around and saw two men by the trash cans they were staring at her and she felt very afraid of them she started to edge back towards the street. The men noticed this and got even closer to her muttering to each other in Italian. She wanted to yell for help like mummy always told her to but her voice wasn't working. She looked back the street was to far away she wouldn't make it.

She closed her eyes and rubbed her tears when a noise like a snarl filled the air. She opened her eyes and jumped behind a nearby trash can. No-one was coming after her so she looked around and saw the two bad men on the floor. They weren't moving. They must have been knocked out she thought and then her eyes went to her rescuer. He was a tall man with short black hair that looked untidy. His face was like a statue and he had dark red eyes. He must be a knight or a king she thought her fear gone as she remembered all those fairy tales she had read. A smile lit her face and she stepped out from behind the dumpster.

Her rescuer turned to her and annoyance passed over his features. "And what are you doing here?" he asked in a bored tone as he looked her over. She smiled up at him.

Now Felix was not the kindest of vampires he wasn't really good or bad he just did what his masters ordered. The two brutes had failed the Volturi and he was sent to dispose of them. The last thing he expected was a small human girl to be here. He also didn't expect her to stand and smile at him as if he was her hero. Older and wiser humans had always run from him yet she stayed and smiled. What she said next shocked him even more. "My name's Serina and your my knight in shining armour" she said smiling up at him. Felix just stood and stared at the tiny human girl.

AN: I know I'm a horrible person for starting another story but I just had this idea and I had to write it but don't worry I'm still carrying on with A Midnight Wish.
