Beth Volturi POV
There she was. One of the most prettiest girls I have ever seen. She had long purple hair, all the way down to her waist. She had ruby red eyes and when you stared at them they encapsulated you, you couldn't bring yourself to avert your gaze, and the brightest shade of red lips. Her body was what every girl dreamed of, then something caught my eye; I saw the door handle move a millimetre. The door then shot open and I looked away from the mirror and thought to myselfwhat have I become?
"Beth, Aro wants you in the throne room." Demitri told me.
"Ah, I wonder what they want? You have any idea?" I questioned him.
"No, I'm sorry, but he says it's urgent." He hesitated, looking at me curiously, "Are you alright, Beth?"
"Yeah. Never been better" I lied, unsuccessfully. I could tell by his eyes that he didn't believe a word I said.
"Alright, well, I will see you down there, okay?" He tried to sound reassuring but there was a slight worrying tone to his voice. This worried me a lot I have always been close to Demitri; he was like a brother to me.
"Okay. I will be down there in a minute" I smiled at him as he left and then looked back at the mirror and sighed. I then reluctantly began to make my way down to the throne room.
I took a deep breath, put a very convincing smile on, opened the door and walked in. I knew instantly something was wrong.
"How are you, my darling?" Aro asked me, I could see love in his eyes but couldn't place what type. As I stared into his eyes I realised that he already knew the answer.
"I'm fine, thank you" I lied. I hated lying to the ones I love but I knew it would make them happy.
"We have someone to show you" Cauis said pleased. As he said this she came out from the shadows; long hair identical to mine but the lightest shade of silver. Her eyes were the most striking blue. What wait...! Her eyes are deep blue! BLUE.She could only be human...but she has no trace of a pulse...I thought, confused.
"This is Rebecca. She is new to the Volturi" Aro smiled as he said this. Why of all the people HER!
"May I ask why her eyes are blue when her heart is not beating?" I have to admit, I have never been so confused in my life. A vampire with blue eyes? Unfathomable. Unbelievable. Impossible.
"She can see past the evil in people, she will always see the good"
"Ahh" I didn't know what it was about her but I hated her.I absolutely hate her i thought to myself.
"How nice to meet you" I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. She just smiled, I guess her eyes didn't let her see the daggers I was piercing her with; my deadly glare.
" Come on darling, there is no need to be like that with Rebecca" Aro sighed and looked at his brothers, disappointed. What did he expect?
"He's right, Beth, there is no need to talk to her like that" Answered Marcus. This has happened too fast and without no warning. Was this supposed to be a surprise? Could they not have just waited until Christmas and gotten me an iPod or something? No. They had to bring some idiotic, sickly sweet, blue eyed bitch. And she has powers, to top it all off. Spectacular. With that I walked out. I didn't like her; she made my memories come flooding back of what I remember of my human life. I then started running as fast as I could. I felt the wind flow through my long waterfall of purple hair; the blur of my surroundings as I ran; the familiar sense of freedom I always felt when running at this speed. I kept pushing myself to go faster until I came to the boat house.
The boat house is a stunning white building with a black roof. I sit here whenever something isn't quite right in my life. I found this place when I was a newborn; I'd come here when I was in pain from my burning throat. It holds memories for me, good and bad, but it's still comforting to me. I love sitting on the roof and looking out over the water, letting my problems blow away with the wind. I could sit here for hours on end.
As I was sat there staring out at the view, I was suddenly grasped by the tender beauty surrounding me; I stared over the sparkling blue lake, the deep green mountains and the castle tower on the right of this magical view. Aro appeared; I just stared at him; his red diamond eyes, his long black shoulder length hair, the black cloak he was wearing flapping in the wind; he emphasised the contrast of his intimidating appearance to the benign innocence of the landscape, whilst effortlessly emphasising the stunning picturesque.
"Elizabeth, what's up? Don't you like our newcomer?" All I could see was concern and worry in his eyes. I wanted him, I knew I did. Heknew I did. But there was something he was keeping from me that was getting in the way.
"Nothing is wrong." I insisted. "I just miss him that's all and NO and from what I can remember she looks like my mother" I hated my mother, absolutely hated her.
"Your mum's gone and if she were not I would kill her, truly I would. Elizabeth I know it's hard but you need to forget him and get over him I know it will take ti--"
"WHY! Why should I forget the only person who loved me!" It was true he was the only person who ever loved me and he was gone. He left me and never came back...
"Elizabeth, Look at me" Aro said while grabbing my chin and pulling my face close to his so I could look into his eyes. "I love you more than anyone else could" He held my cheek a little more firmly and leaned in until his soft lips caressed mine. So many emotions were going through my head and if I had been able to cry I would I would have. I just stood up and said what I felt. "I love you too" and I ran as fast and as far away as I could. I didn't know where I was going, I just knew I had to go somewhere else.
I was staring at the flight board when I saw the words 'Port Angeles' and then Carlisle Cullen came to mind. Carlisle was like a father to me. He was the only father figure I had and I loved him. I hadn't seen him since the last time he paid a visit to Aro, Cauis and Marcus. They have been great friends for a long time and I really missed him. It was only an hour drive from Port Angeles to Forks and I could run it in about fifteen minutes.
It must of been about 5 o'clock in the morning and I was pretending to be asleep on the plane. I haven't fed in a while and the burning in my throat was very painful. I know I can take everyone on this plane within two minutes and there wouldn't be one scream, but I kept telling myself that I had to wait and that I will find someone who deserves to be killed. I knew I would be landing in about half an hour and I was starting to feel guilty and nervous.
Carlisle Cullen's POV
I was sat on my coach wondering how my family is, I was sitting there with my loving wife, Esme. Emmett, my playful son was out on a date with Rosalie. She is also my daughter. Alice, my tiny little pixie has gone with her husband, Jasper, because someone from the Volturi is coming. I am worried sick about them but I know that they can take care of themselves. My other son, Edward, is at his girlfriend's. Her name is Bella. She is like a daughter to me and I love her very much. A couple of days ago Alice had a vision of the Volturi coming. And none of us know what to expect...
- Flashback -
"ALICE!!" Screamed Edward.
"What?" Alice tried to scream back but was clearly distracted with her clothes.
"We're going to be late, AGAIN" Edward said emphasising the "again" and outlining his frustration.
"I will be out now" Alice giggled. Completely amused about making her brother angry. Alice then shot out of her and Jasper's bedroom, looking fabulous as always. Edward was right behind her but then Alice suddenly stopped halfway down the stairs, causing her to fall. Edward grabbed her quickly and jumped to the bottom of the stairs with her in his arms, looking shocked and confused.
Jasper heard her fall and by the time Edward had reached the bottom of the stairs Jasper had shot into the house followed by the rest of his family.
"Alice? What's up? What do you see?" Jasper questioned, you could see worry in his eyes and feel it radiating off him.
"They're coming" she whispered to him
"Alice, who is coming?" Jasper's voice was full of concern.
"Someone from the Volturi!" Her voice was cracking as if she was going to cry " I can't see who it is and I can't see why this person is coming"
"You have to go to school, darling, we will talk about it later" Esme had a brave face on while saying this but everyone could see through it and could see how worried and confused she was.
"Esme is right, anyway one vampire is no mach for 7 of us" Emmett shouted looking forward to a fight.
