I don't own Twilight! Or I would be a millionaire by now!

Chapter 1

It was another beautiful sunny day in Volterra, Italy, just another one, of that hot and sunny summer.

Italy could really flaunt a lot of those days, and it wasn't an advantage when he couldn't go out to enjoy them. going out on a sunny day could be suicidal, unless he didn't cover his skin with cloak or big vests, and that wasn't a good idea if he didn't want to draw the wrong kind of attention.

So, he would just stare out the window. It was a real pity. He used to love the sun so much when he was still human. He didn't remember much of his past life, but he knew that he was an active person and that hadn't changed.

As an immortal now, he had limits on what he could do. He, that used to hate rules and being told what to do, was now an elite guard of the volturi, the most important coven in the vampire world.

Because of it, he had to follow orders and rules and obviously keep their secret safe. It was his life now, it had been so for years, and he loved being part of the guard, even so, he sometimes felt like something wasn't in place, missing,he would dare say, but...

"So still daydreaming?" Felix's amused voice broke him out of his train of thoughts.

"Shut up" he grunted, not really in the mood for his friend's jokes.

"So, what's the matter?" He then asked his friend, tearing his eyes away from the window, to look at Felix's big grinning face.

"Oh nothing, I just like to stare at you"

"Yeah, right, so, tell me, what is it that you want?" Demetri finally moved from the window, folding his arms on his chest, knowing that when Felix was bored he loved to pester him.

"I was bored"

"What happened to Alec?" He asked, even if he knew the answer, he knew that his friend really wanted to tell him how hard he had annoyed the other vampire that day.

" Let me just say that, he was so pissed that he had to blind me to send me away"

Demetri shook his head hearing his friends amused laughter.

"You are aware that one day he'll just send Jane after you?"

His lips curved in a smile, he thought he saw shivers go through the big vampire's body.

The sound of Jane's name always held that reaction.

"Exactly"

He said with a certain satisfaction.

If that ever happened he had to see it.

"Tsk, like I would be scared"

"Don't lie to yourself Felix, you are absolutely petrified" A woman's voice interrupted the two, who both turned towards it.

"Heidi, what a pleasure to see you here" Felix leaned on the door eyeing her with an annoyed look.

Demetri raised an eyebrow, he wasn't so happy to see her.

They had had a brief flirt in the past, he had really thought he had feelings for her, but then, after sometime she had betrayed him.

He wasn't really hurt, and that surprised him. He just moved on, and forgot about it, even if he and Heidi never became friends after that.

"So what you're doing here? Weren't you supposed to be out doing your job?"

"Aro gave me a day off, I thought I would spend it with you guys"

"No one else available?" Spat Demetri in annoyance, receiving a side-glance from Felix, who huffed, faking disappointment.

"Well, I'm sorry, me and my colleague here aren't as lucky as you are to have a day off"

Heide stared at him with a dirty look, aware that Felix was making it up.

"You don't have to make up excuses, you idiot"

"What? No! We were just heading out!?

Felix straightened up and ran towards Demetri grabbing him by the shoulders pushing him towards the door.

"Come on man, we're late!" He shouted waving his hand to Heidi and rushing with the tracker in tow, out the door.

"Man are so dramatic" murmured Heidi to herself watching them run down the huge hallway.

They reached the palace's door easily and ran out, in front of the fountain that was in the little square were the hidden entrance of the building was.

"Was that really necessary?"

"Excuse me, I did it for you, you could at least thank me!"

Demetri shook his head in despair. Felix sometimes was a little too impulsive.

"We don't have guard duty till tonight, what are we supposed to do out here, now?'

The big vampire just stared.

"Hey I was caught in the moment, just thought you wanted to get away from Heidi"

The tracker sighed "I could've handled her"

"Oh really? Because you did a very good job just two seconds ago, just admit it, you can't stand her"

"She's the one who betrayed me, remember?"

Felix grunted "The only thing that got betrayed was your ego, you can't stand she just chose someone else, you didn't even love her"

Demetri wasn't really upset about it, and knew that his comrade was right.

"Plus, it was more than a hundred years ago. You should let it go"

The tracker sighed " you're right"

"I'm always right"

The two vampires laughed, by now they had started walking in the little square,being careful of not being noticed. There weren't many people out, so they were lucky.

It was early morning, but the sun was already hot, the summer was the worst time of the year for them, they had to be extra cautious, it was weird to see somebody walking around in a cloak with that heat.

So, the two were surprised when they saw someone else sneaking around dressed like them.

"Look, isn't it weird?" Pointed out Felix, following the cloaked person with his eyes.

"It sure is, humans don't dress up like that in this weather"

The two exchanged glances and in the same time started following the suspected person.

They followed it for s few seconds, before they caught up, appearing in front of him. They were surprised that however it was had conducted them in a hidden deserted little road.

"So, who are you? And what are you doing here?" Demetri asked with a low voice, that almost sounded menacing, but the cloaked figure didn't answer,

"Answer me!"

Felix rolled his eyes, usually it was him the scary one, his friend was a pretty calm person in confront of him.

"Show us your face" he asked, they knew it was a vampire, and they were pretty sure it knew who he was against.

The figure did as it was told, and two pale hands lifted the hood up, and revealed who it was underneath it.

The two guards weren't surprised when they saw the long black hair and the delicate feminine face.

"I knew it was a woman" exclaimed. Felix with a big grin.

"Anybody would have noticed you idiot"

"So, what's your name? And what's your business here? Why were you sneaking around?"

"I need to speak with your master, that's why I came all the way here" she spoke with no fear. She knew they wouldn't hurt her if she didn't do anything stupid.

"Why?" The question was now made by Demetri, who was standing next to Felix now.

"There's something I need to tell him, a situation that needs to be solved in England."

She stared at the tracker for a few seconds, unsure if to ask him what she had in mind.

"Demetri, lets go we'll take her to Aro"

The woman's eyes widened

"Demetri? Is that your name?"

The two exchanged glances again.

"So it seems, why would you care to know?"

"Nothing,I... Forgive me, I just thought it was a pretty name"

The woman lowered her head, the shadow of a smile on her pale lips.

Demetri and Felix just ignored it and gestured for her to follow them. They escorted her in the palace, were they told another guard to tell Aro that there was someone that wanted to speak with him.

But there was something in the way she had smiled that puzzled the tracker. It was obvious she knew who he was, and the question about his name was just a way for her to be sure it was him. So, who was she, and what did she know about him?
