AN: The idea for this story just popped into my head the other day and I had to write it so here it is. Enjoy :-)
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or the characters I just like to play around with them.
We were standing on a bridge near a waterfall in the forest and I couldn't help thinking of all the trials we went through to get to this happy place we're at now. As I looked into his beautiful blood red eyes I started to think of the way he'd found me...
I'd been trailing this man all night waiting on the perfect moment to strike. He was plump and very short and unattractive, but his blood! Oh the sweet aroma of his blood was intoxicating, the burn in my throat blazed with every breath I took. He had finally separated himself from his "pals" and went into an empty parking garage. Perfect.
Just as I was about to pounce, my prey was dragged away before I could even blink. I growled loudly and followed the thief that stole my food.I found him in an alley finishing the man off. I stared at his back, noticing the way his strong shoulders flexed as he drank deeply. His hair was about shoulder length and a startling shade of blonde. So pale it looked like snow, but with strands of gold barely perceptible to the eye. I thought he was gorgeous and I hadn't even seen his face yet, then I remembered I was supposed to be pissed at him.
I took a deep breath through my nose, to set my thoughts back on track only to be struck by his amazing scent. He smelled like honey suckle and lilacs. My anger started to dissipate slowly and I moaned involuntarily at the smell as my eyes slid shut. I heard a growl and my eyes snapped open again to see the blonde creature crouched low in front of me. His eyes snapped to mine and his face softened a fraction. He stood and I got a good look at what he was wearing, a black shirt, black slacks, and a red tie. He was gorgeous and he had the face of a Greek God.
"Well hello. I'm glad you finally decided to join me." he smirked. My anger came back with a vengeance.
"YOU STOLE MY DINNER YOU ASSHOLE!" I screeched.
He merely chuckled and waved me off. "Come with me love and I'll make sure you're fed properly."
"And what the hell makes you think I'd go anywhere with you when I should be removing your head from your body?" I snarled.
He smirked, though I saw a hint of...something in his eyes. "Try me." he said.
So I pounced. As I landed on his chest, my hands outstretched to grab his head, a sharp pain went through my body straight to my heart. I fell to the ground clutching my chest and whimpering. He kneeled down to stroke my cheek and I snapped my teeth at him and immediately regretted it as another pain shot through my chest.
"Just as I thought," he said smiling softly at me."You couldn't hurt me anymore than I could hurt you." His touch both angered and soothed me, but I had a feeling that the anger was just me being stubborn, so I just glared rather than show my confusion.
He held his hand out to me and I found myself taking it before I had time to think.
"Do you mind if I take you to my home?" he asked.
"Well that depends...will there be something to eat?" I glared pointedly.
"Of course mia stella." he chuckled.
He tried to pull me closer and I yanked my hand away. The look of utter rejection on his face filled me with sadness but I just continued to glare. He fixed his expression into one of pure hatred and glared right back.
"I'm leaving. Do whatever you want." he spat and took off. I ran after him, all the while telling myself that the promise of blood was what made me do it, but knowing in the back of my mind that it was something greater. I could tell he knew I was following him but he never looked back at me. As we broke through the trees a castle came into view. I stopped dead in my tracks.
"Oh shit you're Volturi!" I exclaimed.
He turned around and got in my face, "Is there a problem with that?" he hissed.
I stopped myself from flinching and growled at him, "I've heard of you monsters. All you do is abuse your power trying to make yourselves untouchable. You collect gifted vampires like...like postage stamps! I for one refuse to be a pawn in your schemes." I conjured a ball of fire floating just over the palm of my hand ready to hurl it at him.
His eyes widened but he stayed calm. "There is no need for you to be upset. I swear to you my family is not as cruel as you've been lead to believe. As far as the collecting rumor goes...my brother Aro has a...fascination with gifted vampires. He likes to learn everything about how a power works. Of course he asks them if they would like to join the guard, but it is always their choice." he explained.
"Why should I believe you?" I seethed.
"I am one of the three kings. Caius Volturi. I'd protect you with my life and I'd never, ever let anything happen to you." the sincerity in his eyes disarmed me. The fire disappeared.
"Alright." I told him. He took my hand in his again and I ran with him. We stopped running as soon as we were inside the castle walls and we started walking at human pace. I tried not to notice how my hand was still clutched in his and how nice it felt.
"So do you have a name mia stella?" he asked. A little shiver went up my spine when he spoke Italian. One of those good shivers that kinda make you just want to jump someones bones. That's what happened and I told myself that I didn't like it one bit.
"Yes, it's Amethyst. Just Amethyst, I feel like there was more to it once but I forgot it during my change." I said.
"Well it's lovely to have finally met you Amethyst." he brought my hand to his lips and placed a soft kiss on it. If I could've blushed I would've and then something he said came into my head.
"Wait, finally?" but before he could answer me, we walked into a large room with three thrones in it. There were two other vampires in there sitting down, waiting for us.
