A/N: Sorry I'm late in posting, my only excuse food poisoning sucks. Anyway, I edited chapters 1-4 not much as changed just little interactions. This Chapter is the Prologue you should definitely read it to get a better understanding of Eve's character and of what will happen down the line. The preview I posted earlier was of the prologue not chapter 5. Enjoy.
With a flick of my wrist I sped up making my way down the dirt road the loud humming of the engine bringing me much comfort. Once I maybe it to the tree line of the forest I got off the bike douse it in gasoline covering every inch of the surface. I take an appreciative look at the lime green beauty and struck a match and watched it burn. No trace. I turned and ran through the thick woods passing tree by tree until I reached the edge of the city. Hidden behind my long black hooded cloak that almost drags on the floor, I proceeded into the city. My footsteps on the gravel road barely made a sound, even to my heightened Vampire senses.
The sky displayed my favorite time of day; the sun was beginning to set but off in the distance the moon was beginning to show it's self in a fight of day and night. How ironic. I ignored all the humans around me, and walked in a straight path no one dared to get in my way. The entrance of the castle of Volterra didn't seem guarded but I knew better. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and rolled my shoulders, a smirk graced my lips as I violently push through the castle's front doors.
"Hey what are you do-" He looked around from the door to the surround area of the room and back. I let waves out lethargy, confusion, and emptiness hit the whole room and both Felix and Demetri fell to the floor unconscious. They'll be up again in a minute. I blur past them and make my way through the castle and stop in front of double doors, below the ground level of the city. With the same smirk still holding residence on my face I burst through the door to find the three Volturi brothers sitting on three throne seats Marcus' face looked impassive his eyes trained on me but other then that his emotions were empty. Aro looked as if he'd seen the most impossible act known to man or vampire. While Caius was shaking with so much anger, that was hitting me in waves and I soaked it all up.
"How did you get in here? Guards!" Caius moved from his sitting position to stand.
"I just walked right on in. I'm not one to wait for invitation." I turned my back to them slowly, taunting them, closed the door and walked farther into the room as the guards rushed in from the other side of the room.
"Why is she turning her back to us? Does she not fear for her safety? How did she get pass my guard? I hear Aro questioning.
Aro lifted a hand and they stopped their advancing. He threw his head back and let out a piercing loud laugh. "You my dear are either stupid or suicidal. But you some how managed to get through or defenses so maybe your gifted as well?"
"You can say that." I shrugged.
He's good at containing his anger, and masking but I can feel it rising in him. Volturi are not use to be disrespected and I already entered the castle without invitation, and managed to get through his defenses.
"What is your name child?" Maybe if her gift is beneficial to us I can add her to the guard I'm sure Chelsea would have no problem bonding her to me. If not I'll just let Jane have her fun before we kill her.
I cock my head to the side as I listen to the filth in his mind. This is going to be fun. "Evelyn."
"Felix how did she get in here?" Aro said his voice so sickly calm. I soaked up the anger and let it feed me.
"I don't know but I think she knock us unconscious sir." Felix answered glaring at me. In turn I winked at him, which only earned me a low growl from him.
Aro gets up from his seat and nods to Jane in preparation, and makes his way to me. My giddiness almost overwhelms me and I take a second to center and balance my sides.
He extends his hand to me and I realize the giddiness I was feeling was coming from him and his excitement about anchoring a new talent for his guard. I lift my hand to meet his and his eyes gloss over, and a second later he frowns, and drops my hand instantly. I can't read her thoughts, how is she blocking me! "Why can't I read your thoughts?"
I stood still my mouth forming a hard line. "Fine. Jane teach her some manners." He turns his back to me. Suddenly I felt an immeasurable about of pain shoot from my head and slow creep down to my toes, causing me to drop on my knees. The pain was pulsing and felt like tiny needles trying to shot out from inside of my body and I let out a never-ending scream. As the pain went on I absorbed it battling the two sides in me one trying to over power the other. Swirls of black and white began to cover my vision until the black one out. The pain stopped and I let out a menacing laugh, while standing to my feet.
Jane growled out. The guards as well as the brothers stood completely shocked and didn't move an inch.
"Alec" Aro said.
And slowly a cloudy mist began to descend from his fingers and crawl towards me. I carefully test the strength of my defense, and get hit with the mist. Blackness, stillness, and quiet surround me. Little nudges and big blows to ripple through my physical shield and once again the battle of my sides begin. The swirl of black and white begins and once again black wins out. I regain control of my power and absorb Alec's and stand up.
I feel Jane once again trying to hit me with her gift and I turn the tables on her and use her own gift on her; she drops to the ground screaming in agony. Yes feel it, feel the effects of your own power. My gosh! This is more fun than I thought it would be. I pull back the volume of pain and laugh, while slowly increasing it again. The rest of the guard continuously try to attack me but are blocked by my shield.
"Enough!" Caius yells out.
I turn to face him. "But I haven't finished having my fun yet." My voice comes out maniac. "You wait your turn." I tease.
With my attention back on the guard I let go of Jane and use her power on Alec, Demetri, Felix, and Renata. Only letting them suffer a second at a time, giving them only a brief sense of relief before repeating inflicting pain on them one at a time. An evil laugh escapes my mouth. God this feels good. I continue to relive in the ecstasy of their fear, and pain. But slow the white began to show it's self in again, and I let them go. Fight. Come on Eve. Control them. I fought and took back the control and found my balance.
Not a single sound can be hard in the room, the waves of fear emitting from the room almost brought out the black again but I contained it.
"Now Aro, Marcus, and Caius believe it or not I've come to help you." The brothers look at each other confused.
"What is it that you want to help us with? You come in here and did nothing but aggravate us and terrorize or guard! Why should we even keep you alive?" Caius yelled.
"Control your anger Caius and the rest of you control your fear, unless you want a repeat of what happened." I smirked. "Aro I will allow you to read what I need you to."
Once again Aro ever so eager for information gracefully walked over to me and took my hand.
Ambrogio a young explorer sailed the oceans from Italy to Greece. He longed ever since he was a child to have his fortune told by the Oracle of Delphi and as an adult man he intended to make that dream come true.
Delphi was the home of Apollo the sun God's greatest temple, where Pythia would sit in the temple and speak prophecies to anyone who seek it inspired by Apollo.
Ambrogio traveled three days to the temple and when he spoke to Pythia her only words for him were "The Curse. The Moon. The blood will run." He sent days and some nights wondering around near the temple in an effort to decipher the oracles words. In those days he met a beautiful girl named Selene, a maiden of the temple and they soon fell in love. It was unavoidable they had both recognized their souls counterpart.
Apollo grew very jealous as he witnessed their whole relationship and cursed Ambrogio to never be able to be seen in the daylight because he could meet Selene at sunrise and marry her.
Distraught with grief Ambrogio hid. Deciding to take advantage of Ambrogio's situation Hades offered him a deal if he can steal a sword from Hephaestus and give it to him he'll offer Selene and Ambrogio the protection of the underworld, but he has to give up his soul a collateral. He agreed and on his way home killed a swan and in it's blood inked a letter to Selene in explanation.
Ambrogio failed in his attempt and was cursed by Hephaestus to only die my being ripped apart and burned. Selene saddened by her mate's long departure fled the temple in search of him. Apollo didn't like it one bit so he cursed her to only walk the night as well. Artemis the Goddess of moon and hunting took pity on them and bless them with strength and speed, as well as immortality so they can spend forever together. They thanked the Goddess profusely but when word got to Apollo he cursed them one last time to only being able to drink blood. They would have each other but would be too consumed with bloodlust at time to care. Pythia also took pity on them because Selene was her favorite maiden and she prophesized a battle in the second millia between two evils and she warned that the lesser of the two must win. She told them that they would not see the battle themselves but their venom and power will run through the 4 generals of the battle.
Flashback (Eve's Change)
I saddled up my horse for my ride back home from gathering supplies for my family in the city. The responsibility now falls on me with my father sick and my brother off at war. I can feel something, a presence surround me next thing I knew my horse threw me off only to have me land on my back several feet away. My eyes began to blur with tears and the stiffness of my backache throughout my body.
"Eve," I heard the whisper of the wind. "You will posses the power of one of the original coven but you will not be bitten but created." Blackness covered me and when I awoke I was a vampire.
Aro dropped my hand, stared at me in disbelief. "What is it Aro?" Marcus spoke for the first time.
"The legends of the first Coven they're true."
There was a choir of gasps in the room, as everyone knew exactly what that meant.
"The Volturi have been deemed the lesser of two evils, and because of that we must go now, I have to take you all into hiding before they come."
Without question the three brothers followed me out followed by their guard, no one spoke but the only thing I felt from them is fear. Probably the first time in all their existence they have ever felt it. Fear, hmm….the blackness rejoices within me.
