Chapter 1-Maggie POV

Oh my god could my brother be any more annoying! Why can't he just shut up!?

"Are we there yet?" Seth asked for the 10th time.

"Like I said before, we'll get there when we get there." I said fuming.

Just when I started to get really mad a big streak of lightening went through the sky followed by thunder. You see most people think that when I get angry there's always bad weather but personally I don't believe in any of that stuff.

"Why are you always so angry all the time?" Seth asked meanly.

"Well why are you always such a jackass all the time?" I retorted.

He just glared at me for a long time until I was forced to say sorry.

Finally I saw a sign that said, 'Welcome to Volterra.' The only reason why I'm here is because it's my brothers birthday and so my parents gave him plane tickets to Volterra that they were going to use for their anniversary but didn't want to go at the last minute. So since my brother is only 15 and me being his older sister, 18, I had to go or get grounded. Now I'm driving my ungrateful brother from the airport to the city, village, place whatever you get the point.

After about 10 minutes we finally reached our hotel and unpacked and each took showers then went to bed.

********************************************************************************

The next morning I woke up to the sound of a flushing toilet and my brother shoving me off the bed. I slapped him in the face that caused him to quickly shut up.

I went to my suitcase and grabbed a tank top and denim shorts since it was warm outside but still cloudy and gloomy looking.

After a few minutes of arguing with my brother we decided to go and get some lunch since it was noon and then look around the city. I grabbed the rental car keys, dragged my brother into the car and headed to the closest café.

"So what would like to eat." The waiter said.

"Oh I'll just have a coke and a turkey sub." I replied.

He nodded. "I'll just have the same thing." Seth said.

I glared at my brother when the waiter left and said, "Couldn't you have gotten something

different."

Then right on cue there came a slight thunder at my anger.

My brother raised his eyebrows at me while I just rolled my eyes and muttered, "Coincidence."

Then all of a sudden a very tall muscled man came over and looked at us curiously.

"What do you want?" I said coldly while the thunder echoed. I looked up and got a good look at the man who was extremely handsome and made my heart skip a beat.

"Oh I was wondering if you and your friend would like to come with me and have a tour of Volterra, by the way my name is Demetri." He said this in a sweet voice and was talking to both, me and my brother, but seemed to be looking at me in awe and adoration.

"Um, sure we would love to and my name is Maggie and this is my brother Seth," I said gesturing to my brother who looked like he wanted to rip my head off for agreeing. "What," I asked annoyed.

"Why did you agree for a we know he could be lying and is a prostitute." He replied quietly, and angry while practically steaming from his ears.

"Whatever I already agreed so oh well." I said in a monotone.

"So if you don't care I would like to take you to my boss he might be interested in taking you in for a 'summer job.' He said friendly.

"Well ok then Demetri," and with that we went to pay for the food and followed Demetri outside.

He led us in deep alleyways which scared me a little but I could never really feel that scared with Demetri because he was oddly comforting. After we reached the castle we met up with a few other gorgeous people and went to see his boss.

"Hello my name is Aro." A very old man greeted us who seemed to have faded skin that was very pale.

"Hi my name is Maggie and this is Seth my brother," I inquired.

Then Demetri seemed to shake his hands with Aro and stayed holding hands a little too long. After that Aro smiled at us in anticipation.

Before I could even know what was happening Demetri actually bit my neck very quickly while I fell to the floor paralyzed with searing pain that seemed to have no end. I looked up in time to see that Demetri also bit Seth's neck and he did the same thing as me. Before I could think I soon became only there in body because I was so lost in pain that all I could do was twitch my fingers and toes. After what seemed like years the pain started to slowly subside and soon all the pain that I felt was in my throat it burned! Quickly I opened my eyes to see myself laying in an unfamiliar bed with different people waiting in anticipation.

Suddenly I felt beyond angry, 'What had they done to me?' I thought scared that's when all of a sudden a huge streak of lightening came down and hit one of the unfamiliar people sending them into convulsions. I looked at him with pure joy that I was able to cause this after what they had done to me. When I looked up with a smile on my face all I saw was fear on theirs then I asked myself, 'Had I become a monster.'
