EPOV

Killing was something that came to me easily. It made me who I was. Sick right? So very sick. Aro told me it made me "a character to behold". Whatever that meant. Aro was always a sick cowardly bastard who let others do his dirty work. His top "associates" consisted of me, Felix and Emmett. Felix took more pleasure in the killing than any in Aro's company, Volterra. On the surface Volterra was an oil company, one of the largest in the world. However to keep it the largest in the world Volterra made an underground sector. This is where I came in. I was recruited as a seventeen year-old kid with issues. Emmett was my neighbor and received the same offer. Both of us were orphans and lived a life that no one should be allowed to have. With nothing to lose, we decided the only way was up. And so we joined together. Emmett was my best friend and brother.

When we entered the company we met Jasper Hale and his sister Rosalie. Jasper was a techie that could hack into the pentagon without leaving a trace. Rosalie was a manufacturer. She made most all the weapons that the company used, well the designs at least. She and Emmett were in a somewhat relationship. Aro allowed it simply because Rosalie was a must and eventually Emmett and I became "musts" too. Two years after we entered under Aro's command, Alice Brandon was reinstated. No one knew who she was or how she could've been "reinstated" but we knew her to be dangerous and an extreme manipulator. I had never properly met Alice but I had heard stories. We were involved in completely different missions so we never met. Lucky for me. 10 years in and I still couldn't find within me a lick of remorse. Not a lick. I had killed hundreds of people. Not one time did an emotion get in the way.

I had always heard stories of agents being "discharged" due to emotional attachments which were seen as weaknesses. When I was seven my parents were murdered in front of me in a house invasion and since then, I didn't do emotional attachments. I felt bad for idiots like Emmett and Rose. I knew they loved each other. I was sure of that, even though I knew I could never feel that way about anyone, I could identify love a mile away. It was all in the eyes. Even before my parents died I remembered the way they looked at each other.

"Edwarrddddddd." I turned swiftly around. Rosalie was standing behind me with a roll of paper in her hand. I growled quietly. I did not enjoy being snuck up on, or having conversation period.

"What do you want?" I spat at her. Rosalie was a nuisance and I didn't enjoy having her around me period. I respected her on a business level but that was about it.

"Sheesh, calm down dickhead. Aro wants to see you." God if it weren't for Emmett.

I got up quickly and stalked to Aro's office. We were currently in a military-confinement like facility with small beds and concrete walls. Aro's office was located on the upper floor that had glass walls, very CIA if you ask me. It was quick walk to the prick's office

"Edward." With a thick Italian accent Aro Volturi addressed me.
"Yes."

"You're going to a Burlesque Lounge with Emmett and Felix. You will enjoy yourself and scope out that side of town. I have a hunch that Black International is thinking about making another business site there." Black International was Volterra's biggest competition. In the oil industry either you were the best or you were out of business. Volterra and Black International were fighting for the former.

"May I ask why a Burlesque Lounge?" Aro smirked at me.

"I'm sure you need some kind of outlet." I grimaced.

"No offense sir, but my outlet quota is completely filled at the moment." Lie. Gianna was a good assassin but she just didn't satiate my needs anymore. Aro however, did not need to know that.

"Gianna…?" My silence was his only answer. Apparently it was enough.

"My poor boy. Gianna is highly inadequate. I'm talking about a female whose job it is to please a man. What do you have to lose?" I groaned lightly I couldn't believe I was having this conversation.

"Fine. I'll go. Just please let us cease talking." I was getting ridiculously uncomfortable.

"Wonderful. I'm sure Emmett and Felix will be proud." I grunted in response.

"You are dismissed." I stood up and strode quickly back to cabin for a quick nap. I knew it was going to be a long night.

!~*~*~!

"What the fuck are you clowns doing here? Doing Aro's dirty work?" Richard Stevenson was apparently the owner of the Burlesque lounge Aro sent us to. He was one of the snitches that was paid too much and felt he could talk to anyone any kind of way. I sent him a look that screamed "shut-the-fuck-up". The three of us walked in the club, our eyes peeled. Apparently the show had not started yet.

"Rosie's probably freaking the fuck out right now. Aro told me not to tell her where I was going, and this is technically our date night. God I thought he was okay with us. Apparently not. Little coward, has to make back handed comments instead of just saying the truth."

"Would you really prefer the truth? Think about it." I muttered. Silence.

"Ladies and gentlemen I welcome you to Burlesque! Enjoy the show!" A small man announced on stage. The lights dimmed and I heard Felix growl in excitement. Pervert.

Don't be scared
I've done this before
Show me your teeth

I consider myself to be a man who has his urges under control. Not when she took the stage though. I felt my muscles tighten and my blood rush to the nether regions. A pale, seemingly glowing goddess was in front of me in a dark midnight blue corset and a garter belt.

Don't want no money (want your money)

that shit's is ugly
Just want your sex (want your sex)
Take a bit of my bad girl meat (bad girl meat)
Take a bite my me
Show me your teeth
Let me see your mean

She had long brown hair that was curled only slightly. Her lips were full and pouty and painted red.

Got no direction (no direction)
I need direction
Just got my vamp (got my vamp)

Take a bite of my bad girl meat (bad girl meat)
Take a bit of me boy
Show me your teeth
The truth is sexy

Her eyes.

Tell me something that'll save me
I need a man who makes me alright (man who makes me alright)
Just tell me when it's alright
Tell me something that'll change me

Her eyes were a deep dark brown that seemed to be fixed on me.

I'm gonna love you with my hands tied
Show me your teeth
Just tell me when
Show me your teeth
Open your mouth boy
Show me your teeth

Maybe that was wishful thinking.

Show me whatcha got
Show me your teeth teeth teeth teeth

Got no salvation (no salvation)
Got no salvation
Got nor religion (no religion)
My religion is you
Take a bite of my bad girl meat (bad girl meat)
Take a bit of me boy
Show me your teeth
I'm a tough bitch

And god the way she was moving. Her hips moving in slow circles. Her small hands moving up her soft alabaster thighs. I don't remember having ever reacted this harshly to a woman.

Got my addictions (my addictions)
And I love to fix 'em (and I love to fix 'em)
No one's perfect
Take a bite of my bad girl meat (bad girl meat)
Take a bit of me boy
Show me your teeth
I just need a little guidance

I looked around and found Felix's eyes glued to the dark-haired goddess as well. I felt myself get unimaginably irritated and jealous. Obviously he would never touch her. She was mine, even if she didn't know it yet.

Tell me something that'll save me
I need a man who makes me alright (man who makes me alright)
Just tell me when it's alright
Tell me something that'll change me
I'm gonna love you with my hands tied

Every part of her was simply perfect. Her ass was delectable. I shifted my painful erection briefly and heard Emmett snicker. I turned to glare at him.

Show me your teeth
Just tell me when
Show me your teeth
Open your mouth boy
Show me your teeth

"So you are human," he said to me. "Good to know." I just continued to stare.

Show me whatcha got
Show me your teeth teeth teeth teeth
Show me your teeth

My religion is you
My religion is you

Show me your teeth
Open your mouth boy
Show me your teeth
My religion is you
Show me your teeth

I just need a little guidance
Show me your teeth

When the lights went off I felt a loss. I knew from that point on that there was no way I could step inside this club again. No way.

Like Emmett said. It turned me human.
