thanx for all the reviews on my last story. this is the sequel to Black Darkness so if you havent read it yet, i strong suggest you do cuz if you don't and continue reading this, you'll probably get very confused lol

It had been a total of 100 years since that fateful and hateful day. Today was the anniversary of that day where I sold my soul to the devil himself in order to save the ones I loved. 100 years ago I had to leave my one and only love and my heart still hadn't healed. It never would until I found him again. 100 years in counting of nothing but sorrow and loneliness.

But of course, the Volturi didn't see my pain as a bad thing. They thought they were doing the right thing as always and never considers anyone else's feelings who are involved. They ignored mine for 100 years and wouldn't start now. Since I joined them, I really haven't done much. I rented a small but luxurious apartment a few blocks down and came here every other day. I would work a full 24 hours then have the next 24 hours off, but being so paranoid that I would run away (and I will run away) they hired some chauffeur to show me the sights and to follow me around on my day off like a stalker It got so annoying and even though she was always with me, I felt more alone then ever before.

I have been in the same country for 100 years now and even though Italy is beautiful, it was getting old. I missed Forks so much. I really need a change in scenery. Everyone that I knew human were all dead and gone now so the only friends I have were the Cullens, but I haven't heard from them since I left. I had no way of knowing if Jasper was still alive, even though there's a good chance that he was and is waiting for me.

I walked into the seemingly ordinary building filled with members of the Volturi. Basicly my job was to sit at a desk and look out for any possible attacks on the Volturi with my visions. I have been doing that for too long now. Only once, there was a threat I foresaw about the Romanians, Vladimir and Stefan, planning an attack but soon gave up. This was a huge waste of my ability but with mind readers here, I couldn't look into the future of my family.

"Good morning Miss Cullen." greeted my personal stalker, Miranda.

"Morning. How's James?" I asked about her husband.

"She's getting a little lonely since I've been assigned to you, but she's good." She smiled a warm comforting smile. Even though I hated being watched, I liked her company.

"Is she still looking for the Loch Ness Monster?" I inquired.

James has been looking for something worthy of being devoured by him so he has settled for real mythical creatures to taste their blood.

"Yup, but he isn't having any luck. No surprise there." she giggled and rolled her eyes.

I giggled a little bit. Surprisingly I have been smiling more often. I hardly did my first year here but I guess I loosened up a bit but I still hated the Volturi with a passion. Catching my reflection in a nearby mirror, I gasped.

"Oh! I need to go hunting pronto! My eyes are so dark." I exclaimed.

Miranda smiled. "Go. I'll cover for you until you get back."

"Thanks!" I yelled as I ran out.

I looked for the nearest clumps of trees. There were always a few stray deer over there. I quickly found a doe and drank her blood; not the best but it was satisfying. Time never changed my drinking habits. I still hunt only animals. I refuse to lower myself to drink the blood of a human. I will never go down that road. I reached the streets again and checked myself in a parked car's side mirror. My eyes were gold again and I still looked very young. Luckily for vampires, we don't age.

I gazed across the street at the Volturi building. It really didn't have a name so I just started mentally calling it the "Volturi building". I wanted nothing more but to run away from this dreadful place. Every day its the same routine. I sit at my desk for 24 long hours staring into blank space while visions came to me and on my days off, I spent them with Miranda. She slowly became a friend to me but I was long tired of the rut I made myself.

One day soon I will escape to find Jasper. I promise.

short chapter i know, but i wanted to make sure you knew what she did and her life since the split. please review! much appreciated
