I watched as Sean pulled away from his young victim. Her once tan skin was now whitening as she convulsed on the ground. "Go ahead and erase her memory of us. Fill in Aro and Jane as the culprits." I simply nodded and focused on her mind. I searched through her cluttered memories and found our first encounter. I blurred the faces and added the two we wanted. Cut, paste, next, that was how I worked. Snip, snip, erase bits and pieces gone. When I was please with my work I stepped back and watched as she began to relax. "That took longer than usual." Sean commented. I looked around and saw it was beginning to lighten.
I turned toward the sun. "She has a fantastic memory, cutting and blurring was harder. There were a lot of the also." My fingers ran through my burgundy hair. I rubbed my temples absent mindedly, she had been tiring and I couldn't help but think I missed something. Sean came beside me and I studied his face, so I wouldn't think of her memories. His eyes had a redder tint to them due to the new blood. I followed his jaw line to his perfect mouth, some blood still lingered in the corner. My fingers barely touched his skin as a brushed it away. "Missed a bit." I smelled my fingers and immediately got a rush. My mouth watered and I slowly sucked the blood.
"Lena, you look parched. Do you need a drink?" Sean tease. I shook my head and rolled my eyes. I tried to not drink human blood. "Dieting" some called it, my word was humane. I was human, once, before Sean bit me. I was the first of his new army. He picked me because of my aura, my gift didn't hurt either. Sean said that I was demanding but gentle and that he needed me. His idea was to overthrow the Volturi. We had been building this army for the past three years. Others had tried but failed miserably. Armies didn't pop up overnight, like the one in the northwest. No, they took years of careful planning and picking.
Sean had found that by changing a small number of them at a time they were easier to control. Our "children" learned to control their thirst early, or they were eliminated. The Volturi are not even suspecting an uprising. We need a few more changed to account for the new help. Three new recruits had joined the Volturi last winter. A battle had ensued and the rebellion had lost. Three lucky fools made it out with their lives. If you could call what they do living. Three new victims to the Volturi clan. They all lived oblivious to our plans.
"When will you give up these humane actions towards these mortals?" Sean inquired. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. If a victim was not as strong as we needed he killed them instantly. I always had to back away while he did it. Sean was smart about how we picked victims. We moved across the continental U.S. and picked one victim every two states. Never a mass changing, there were too many variables and too obvious.
He was also smart in feeding our large clan when on the move we drank animal blood. Once stationed somewhere we found the nursing homes in the area. We picked victims with dementia, cancer, Alzheimer's. Incurable diseased. Since they were already scarred and battered taking blood was easy. Some of the changed preferred the humane way I lived. Drinking only animal blood, but of course, everyone cheats on a diet.
