LOVE OR POWER
A Twilight Fanfiction by
Fantasy Writer
Love and Power….
Two things people encounter throughout their lifetime on this earth. Sometimes seen or heard beside each other in a sentence such as "A powerful Love" or "A love for Power".
People are very fickle in this area.
Each individual has to choose their own path and often what starts out as the best of intentions can result in something dark and dangerous.
But such is life and you have to live with the consequences of their decisions.
This implies to all creatures supernatural or non.
So what happens when two people from different worlds cross paths, each raised in power and taught to uphold the law discover love? What will they choose or can they have both…?
The day started out like any other in Volterra, Italy.
The Vampire rulers known as the Volturi had ruled for over three thousand years.
Lead by the three heads, Aro, Caius, and Marcus.
Underneath them was the elite guard: Reneta, Jane, Alec and Demetri.
Each with their own special talent as did many of the guard but these four where the top of the pyramid just under the masters and their wives. No one could have predicted but this was the day that would change Alec's life forever...
It was lunchtime.
Heidi, one of the lower guard was tasked with being in the prey. Today it was a mixed blend from all over the world.
Unaware that amongst the tourists was a girl on a mission. Her name was Kayley, and she had no intention of being an entrée.
As Heidi ushered the group in, and Aro's voice could be heard chirping "Welcome Guests! Welcome to Volterra!"
Time was running out, as soon as the giant doors were shut and locked, it was show time!
Weaving and ducking, Kayley made her way across the room. Just as her hand clasped around the gem taken from the thief's corpse, a cold hard presence engulfed her body, vampire.
She whispered one word "Star", causing the gem to glow before vanishing the couple from the room and everyone's sight…
"Get off me!" Kayley screamed when the vampire boy landed on top of her.
The whooshing of what just happened had thrown off his appetite. "What happened? And where are we?"
Looking at their surroundings, it was farm country.
"Get off me!" she repeated,
"Fine! I need answers anyway and it wouldn't do good to kill the only witness, for now"
He said, being half truthful and trying to intimidate. At that statement Kayley took charge, dumping a hay bale on the pompous young man.
"Okay Bucko! Time to set up the ground rules:
First- You are not home anymore, heck you're not even on the same continent. This is a private Island. Hence you are most certainly not in charge.
Second- Absolutely NO vampires are allowed here unless they're hunting practice for the young werewolves, they only last a week anyway. So you strutting around with your head held high like you own the place is a death wish.
This island has over two thousand werewolves in fifty packs -
Sooner or later you will be either chow or a chew toy. It's best if you lose the attitude, you're in survival mode now.
Third- This island while private and secluded, it's also enchanted with magical properties. There's no way on or off this island without a portal connected to the main land.
Fourth- And probably the most important, portals come along only a few times per year and ours was the last one. So you're stuck here till next spring, if you're still alive by then" she said, mimicking his earlier tone and posture.
Alec blinked, absorbing the information but not quite believe it. Yet fascinated by the girl in front of him.
She was definitely around his age… at least physically. 5.1ft, her shoulder length honey colored hair blowing in the breeze only empathized the fire in her pale green eyes.
"Kayley!" "Kayley! Where are you?!"
Oh crap! "You" she commanded Alec, grabbing his sleeve, hauling him to a nearby haystack.
"Get in there and stay in there. Your life depends on it".
No sooner than she said the words and he hid that an older woman with grey hair came into view.
"Darling you're back and just in time. That portal was about to close!"
she greeted Kayley with a hug before pulling back.
"Did you get it?"
"Yes I did and not a moment too soon" holding up the gem.
"Ahh! Kayley you are my favorite granddaughter!"
"Don't let Louise hear that"
Granny smiled, "Your sister is my favorite too!You're both my grandbabies I don't have to choose!
Your father would be so proud, may he rest in peace. Come on let's go show the village elder!"
Throwing an arm around her shoulders steering her towards the direction of the village. Kayley reached behind her, magic flowed from her fingertips to the haystack trapping Alec inside.
"I'll be back" she whispered, knowing full well he could hear her.
