This is my third Twilight fan fiction, as always…I OWN NOTHING BUT THE OC'S!
"Oh Lindsey, we have some company." Aro called from the "Meeting" room. It was really more of a circular room, full of special windows that didn't let the sun in. The room was used for when the Volturi would have to talk serious with someone. Or in some cases, they'd kill them in that room. It was very versatile.
"Who is it?" I asked calmly. I didn't even look up, instead just continued to read my book. When Aro didn't answer I looked up, to see that he was sitting in front of me, on the ancient table that was incrusted with jewels in delicate patterns.
"I think it would be better, if you would accompany me in there. I would at least like to have somebody who is in the front guard, with me." He said. He then winked at me, knowing that I hated being in the guard. It made me feel too powerful at times. As if I could do anything. UGH!
"Whatever." I replied annoyed. I threw my book down on the exact page that I had been on. I stood up, and proceeded to walk into the next room. My flare jeans, and purple corset top were silent despite the speed that we always travel at. I guess that Edward leaving me, was a good thing. Now I can run fast…ok that was a pathetic thought. Even for me, that was sad. I looked around the room, and saw that nobody was in there. What the hell?
"They aren't here yet, but they will be very soon." Aro said, as if he felt my confusion. He probably did, but that's not the point. The point was that he said, we have company. Companywasn't here yet. I brushed it off, and decided to grab one of the front guard robes that was hanging up on one of the stone wall.
As I had finished tying the robe at the neck, and pulled up the hood I knew that company was here. I could smell them. They were close, probably at the end of the hallway. As I heard their footsteps, I stepped behind Aro.
"Scared?" He asked quietly. I shot him a glare, but didn't say anything. He chuckled and turned his attention back to the big, dark, wooden doors. They opened slowly, but didn't make a sound. They were so confident that nothing would happen, why shouldn't they be? It was only me and Aro in the room. And they didn't know who I was.
"Aro, my old friend! How are you these days?" Carlisle asked. His voice was full of excitement, and joy. I looked up enough to see that the whole family was there. Esme was as beautiful as ever. Rosalie looked like she could take down a whole army, she was so confident. Emmett was huge, but the same as always. Alice and Jasper were by each other's side, and were holding hands. That left him, all by himself. Leaning up against the dark wooden frame. He had his arms crossed across his chest, but kept his eyes on Carlisle's back.
Aro's voice brought me back to reality.
"And Carlisle, I'd like you to meet the best front guard that I have." His voice boomed with pride. I felt my face become an instant smirk. Without thinking, I looked up to Carlisle's awaiting face, and the hood of my robe fell down. Carlisle's face changed in a flash. He was suddenly concerned and curious. His face said it all, he recognized me.
"Shit!" I practically screamed. I tried to run around Aro and Carlisle, but was caught by Carlisle's hand. He swung me in between him and Aro. I fought him for a minute, but gave up soon. I wouldn't…..No couldn't hurt Carlisle. He had been so good to me, even though he left me as well.
I stopped trying to get away, and became still. I could feel everyone's stares bore into me. Carlisle was the first to break the silence.
"Lindsey? Is that really you?" He looked shocked.
"Yes." I replied through gritted teeth. I wasn't going to hurt him physically, but I never said emotionally.
"Wh-What happened to you?" He asked trying to look into my eyes. I turned away, from him and looked the other way.
"Had an accident after you ALL left. Looks like we couldn't avoid the inevitable." I said with venom in my voice. I saw him cringe out of the corner of my eye. That's what you all deserve. He stayed quiet, and moved back to where his family was. I looked up at Aro, he was looking down at me. He laid his hand on my shoulder, and saw my request to leave. When we didn't want people to know we would communicate like this. He nodded his head sharply, and looked back at the Cullens.
I turned on my heel and began to exit the room, when I saw that I would have to go through the group. So instead, I changed directions, and decided to run at full force at the glass window. I easily shattered it, so I began to fall. Now most vampires were graceful when they would jump. Not me. I thudded to the ground, and sat there for a minute. When I finally realized where I was, I stood up and brushed the rest of the dirt and glass of my skin. I began to run at full speed towards the large the woods that was behind me. The woods was always so peaceful.
The woods was a great place to hunt animals, and just relax in when you're considering murder. So for an immeasurable amount of time, I laid on a tree branch, and listened to the sounds around me. Ok that was a lie, truthfully the "sounds around me" was my I-pod on shuffle. When I finally decided to climb down, I heard the sound of rustling leaves. I turned and saw someone leaning on the trunk of the tree. What was she doing here? I didn't want to talk to any of them right now! How dare she?
"Lindsey." She greeted with a semi smile on her face. I badly wanted to run, and get away. But I guess she would see that as soon as I made up my mind. So instead I returned her greeting.
"Hello……..Alice."
