Reclusione

Chapter 1: New Life?

'I can't believe I'm doing this! Of all the crazy shit I've done, THIS has to be the craziest-'

My mental rant was cut short by "Master" Aro beginning a delusional psychotic musing about how I was going to enjoy life here in this cold, stone prison.

"Look Aro, give me a week to get things tied up with the pack, and collect a few things to get me through this sentence in your lovely little chunk of Hell."

Disregarding the obvious insult, Aro contemplated this for a moment, 'As if he has a say in what I do...'

"Alright! One week EXACTLY!" He chirped in that, for once genuinely exited, airy voice of his.

I turned quickly on my heel and began to make a swift exit through the huge double doors that lead in and out of the large thrown room. Brushing past multiple "foot soldiers" that had just enough time to realize that I was going to continue on my strait path whether they were there or not, I began to ponder what I would bring back with me.

"But!" I froze mid-step halfway through the stone doors, "I'm assigning you a personal guard."

'No fucking way!' "Really...?" I dragged the word out in a slightly sarcastic manner, as I turned back towards the three decorative thrones to deliver an 'Are you fucking out of your bloody mind' look to Aro, who was blissfully oblivious.

"Yes! In fact one of MY personal guard! You may meet him out in the car at dusk. I'll see you in a week!"

With that I left the castle for a quick hunt to ease my now frayed nerves.

As the sky began to darken with the imminent arrival of night, I began running back to the castle through the thick woods outside the thick walls of Volterra, Italy.

My new home.

I scaled the stone brick wall that separated me from the city and upon making sure no humans saw me, jumped down the good 50 ft. from the top and landed almost silently on my feet.

I began strolling through the quaint little town, and envied the humans that knew nothing of the danger of my world that loomed just above their heads. I Bought a couple of lovely smelling loaves of warm bread from a bakery and munched on it as I quickened my pace as to beat the creeping tendrils of night.

Outside of the forbidding castle was parked a sleek black car, leaning against it a vampire I had never encountered before. It was a male, no more than six inches taller than my 5'2", I couldn't tell much outside of that for he was clad in the standard issue Volturi cloak with hood up, not surprisingly a very dark shade of grey seeing as he was one of Aro's personal guards, or the "Elite Guard" as outsiders called them. He was impatiently tapping his fancy Italian leather shoed foot and upon noticing me, flashed into and started the car.

I walked around to the passenger side and slid onto the smooth black leather seat without looking at the person next to me.

I sensed him remove his hood as he began speeding through the town and into traffic.

Not a word was spoken for almost an hour.

Then he let out a bored sigh and said "Well, seeing as we will be stuck together for a few years we may as well start getting to know each other," and in a slightly less bored tone, "Hello, I'm Alec."

I let out a small chuckle, "Alex."

And then I made a horrible, life changing, mistake.

I looked at him.
