Pologue
It was a chilly night, somewhere in England, in a long forgotten shutters hung creaking on their hinges and banged loudly agaist the cracked dusty windows as the wind howled past. A tall figure apeared amongst the shadows of the night, wearing a midnight blue cloak above a pitch black robe, and glided past the banging shutters and down the unpaved road, then vanished once more into the shaws of the night. It wore a silver cross that hung on a thin, white gold chain, above the midnight blue cloak.
At the village's cemtery, the figure apeared once more and weaved through several graves until it finally found the one it was looking for, then threw down the hood of the cloak. It reavealed long, jet-black hair, translucently white papery skin and milky red eyes. Aro, leader of the Volturi.
He stared impassively at the small, prefectly rounded gravestone, at the words carved into it; worn by the wind and rain, but still illegible.
Here lies Seline Crystalia Suvanne
Deseased daughter of Eavan and Kalia Suvanne
Sister of Lydia Crystalia Suvanne
With the cross gripped tightly in his right hand, Aro reached towards the gravestone, palm facing the ground, and began chanting in a monotone.
A flaming candle of life
That had burned out before its time
Shall now be returned
With the deserved time that had been taken
Eternal life
Eternal power
Eternal beauty
Forever enhancement of her powers
Which only she can control
Blood immune to all things
Yet also all things at the same time
With Son of God's cross, I seal your wandering soul in its fomer vessel
With Son of God's cross, I return your vessel to its former glory
With Son of God's cross, I give you a breath of life and inhumane qualities
Speed
Intelligence
Strength
Smell
Taste
Awaken, Seline the vampire princess
Awaken!
It is time that the golden era for vampires return
The era in which vampires rule over humans
Awaken!
Aro chanted again and again without stopping, the cross gripped tightly in his hand. Countless time he chanted, as many as the stars that shone brighter as he chanted, as if starving for his next word, then, at last, he cried "Awaken!" one last time and flung the cross onto the grave.
The cross emitted a pure white light, which illuminated the whole sky, before fading into darkness. Silence ensued as Aro awaited silently for something. Then…
A hole appeared and a hand wriggled out.
Another hand.
Then a head wriggled through and its body crawled through soon after. The figure stood tall, above its grave, and as the cloud floated away from the full moon, it alighted her face.
Her hair hung in earth-covered cascading dark tresses, a striking contrast to her skin, which was chalkiy pale. She would've been a stunner, if not for her eyes, whuich were neither red nor yellow, like vampire eyes, but a strange russet color that was both lovely and terrifying at the same time, defining her as the vampire princess, a demon in the body of a girl. She wore a dress that had once been pure white and a garland of withered flowers, which she tore off her head as soon as she was out of the earth. Aro took out a set of clothes¾a navy blue T-shirt and jeans, a pair of flat boots and passed it to the girl, who looked at it curiously.
"My lady, this are clothes of the present century. They may seem strange but served well for us," Aro explained.
"I'll take your word for it then, Aro," the girl said in a clear, musical voice, then changed into the clothes. Aro assessed her from head to toe, then smiled and spoke.
"You look like any human of this century, my lady."
"Flattering me will serve you no good, Aro," the girl said icily. "I have grown tired of my kind trying to please me with sweet nothings. Their words are as empty as their souls; if they even have any. My face is too perfect, so I shall adjust it such that it would fit in." Then, the girl closed her eyes and her perfect face melted away to reveal another face that was less perfect and more humane, and her heart began beating. The sound of it filled the silence. The girl's eyes fluttered open and she breathed in deeply.
"Ahhhh…It's good to be human again,"she whispered. " I suppose my name will be Blaze Crystal Skyler?"
"Yes, my lady. You will be living in Forks for three years, before taking over the world. It has changed over time, and during those three years, learn as much as you can about this world."
"Sounds like a good plan, Aro. Let's leave this dreadful place; it is not a place for us to talk."
"As you wish, my lady." Then, they loped out of the cemetery and vanished into the distance.
