The Theory of Reincarnation

"God…" Felix complained. "Are you sure she's a vampire? She insanely slow!"

"Relax," Aro soothed. "Heidi's almost here…"

You could hear the footsteps of the group as they marched through the hallway. The shipment was a week late thanks to some technical difficulties that were finally sorted out. The whole guard was getting impatient and several went as far as to hate Heidi directly. They would try to trip her in the hallway as she past by which seemed incredibly childish, especially for the older ones.

The footsteps came closer until the group was right outside of the door. Caius and I stood to join Aro who was already standing in anticipation.

"Ready to add some more chlorine to the gene pool?" Caius joked quietly. It was our favorite euphemism; instead of 'slaughtering' the humans we just sped up the natural selection process.

"As ready as I'll ever be," I answered. We had been through the process so many times that it was becoming too routine. Any more times and I will begin to think that the process was completely natural. This was what we were meant to do.

We were the chlorine.

The doors started to open and we were hit with the humans' scent.

"About damned time," Felix muttered.

"If you think that you can do better then you go get them next time," I shot back. I was tired of his complaints and from the wavering brown of his aura I could tell that he was tired of me too.

"Maybe I will," he muttered.

The crowd filed in and spread out throughout the room. Some were looking at the architecture but most of thier gazes were fixated on us. Aro raised his arms like he always did and started.

"Welcome guests, to the city of Volterra!"

His audience clapped and took pictures of Aro as he posed accordingly. He never got tired of it but Caius and I always stepped back. There was something eerie about your prey idolizing you. From behind me Felix groaned in thirst. I looked back at him to scold him but noticed a slightly pink aura that connected him to a young girl.

What better way for me to get back at him?

"I'm dreadfully sorry but the tour ends here for you," Aro announced. On cue the doors closed and the humans started to panic. I turned back to Felix and barred my teeth before chasing after the girl that he lusted for.

So many other, useless, humans were in my way so I began to fling them out of my path. I heard Demetri laugh and figured that he was the one catching all of the flying humans. He had always been the most loyal and the least eager to show it. I glanced back without stopping and found him exactly where I thought he would be, behind me. He grinned as a young lady fell into his arms so I threw him an older gentleman. He was so into his previous catch that he let the man fall to the ground. A few snaps of the man's bones brought Demetri's head up to look at me. He shrugged and went back to lusting after his catch.

The rest of the group had separated and gone after their own prey. Felix was nowhere to be seen.

I started to make my way through the crowd again. It was quickly thinning and I had lost sight of the girl. I cursed under my breath and searched for her corpse in the pile forming in the middle of the room.

I hadn't found it in the pile so I wandered throughout the room to see if anybody forgot to discard it. I found her on the other side of the room, lying face-down on the ground. Even though I couldn't see her face I knew it was her. I ran, a little too eagerly, to her and was surprised to find her still breathing. Unconscious, but still alive. I thanked the revenge Gods and checked to see if Felix was watching. He was. I smiled and turned her over; the more dramatic the better.

I wiped the long, straight, brown hair out of her face and stared at her. Her features, her slim figure, her presence, they all reminded me of her.

"Elizabeth?"

wow.

have you ever tried to write a story about a character everybody knows close to nothing about?
it's rather hard.

thank you for being interested in my story,
you're one of (at this moment) 60 who gave this story a shot.
it seems like everybody is too main-character based

it's interesting to work with a character like Marcus who,
really,
is a very mellow person.
on the Twilight Lexicon it said that he is the way he is because he lost his mate many years ago
what happens when a girl who looks just like his lost love enters his life?
can somebody really change somebody else?
do you belive in reincarnation?
