Summary: Sequel to A New Epoch. Phoebe is leading a blissful life. That is until the Volturi return for revenge. Only this time, they have the upper hand – the perfect weapon, the perfect plan. Is all hope lost?
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters mentioned (except for new ones I have created), the amazing Stephanie Meyer does.
Prologue:
They had returned, as we knew they would. Only this time, they had the upper hand – the perfect weapon. We were all going to die or suffer a fate worse than death itself. There was no possibility of us winning.
Vampire love is odd, all vampires know that. Sometimes it takes months to develop, though the bond, the need to be near each other is unbreakable before the realisation. Sometimes, it happens immediately, love at first sight. But it is always permanent and unbreakable. We need each other like we need blood.
~ Chapter One ~
Bliss described my life perfectly right now – I honestly couldn't be happier. For starters, I had Alec, my true love. I also had the best family anyone could ever hope for – the Cullens. The only thing clouding all of this was the fact that the vampire 'royal family' were out to get me and everyone I loved, including most of the vampire community. But I wasn't worried – Jasper wouldn't let me be. I was also growing slightly cocky – I knew the Volturi barely had a chance against us.
It was just four months since the Volturi came to visit, though it felt like years. I could recall it as clearly as though it happened yesterday. It was a happy memory for me, aside from the obvious 'near death' bit. It was the first time I had met Alec. I could hardly believe when I had first heard about Alec and his sadistic sister Jane, I assumed they were both evil, when it was only Jane.
My powers were coming along nicely – I barely needed any concentration now to use any power. I was disappointed to learn that any of the Volturi's powers that I didn't use at the time were now impossible to use. So, in a way I was almost looking forward to the Volturi's return. Almost but not quite.
Alec's eyes were now a light butterscotch, whilst mine were still a disconcerting shade of red. It was rather annoying being a newborn. Not even the strength could persuade me otherwise.
I had done a little research (with the aid of Jasper, Carlisle and Alec) on Vampire History but I could tell it would be a long process, which is what I liked best about it. I had mainly been philosophising about vampire love. It was strange how impossibly strong it was. Unnatural in theory, but natural in practice. Like vampires I suppose.
We were even considering moving, though there were a few issues with this – for starters, Bella was reluctant to leave Charlie 'all on his own', though we all knew this was not the case – slowly but surely, Sue had been getting rather close to Charlie. There was also the matter of the wolves – Jacob was somewhat reluctant to leave his pack behind. He had grown to embrace the idea of being pack leader – if only to command Leah. Seth was planning to come with us if we moved, no matter how much scolding Leah did. Even if we did move, it was a rather long and tedious process – getting into a new school (aside from Alec and myself who were planning to go on a romantic month or longer holiday), making new birth certificates, finding a sufficient location…a couple of months at least.
Though I had only been a vampire several months, it felt like years. I even found it hard to believe I had never been a Cullen. I was so lucky to have such an amazing family. I was incredibly close to everyone, especially Alice, Bella, Nessie, Jake, Edward, Emmett and Jasper. And of course, Alec. Especially Alec.
I found it hard to believe that I had ever been human. I had an odd opinion of humans now. They were obviously a much weaker species, prey, but at the same time, I had a kind of respect for them. They didn't deserve to die, no one did. I tried to put my family out of my mind as it was too dangerous to have them there but I couldn't help it. We, like Alec and myself had an unbreakable bond. But I couldn't have them in my life. I didn't even know what Carlisle had told the police and I definitely didn't want to know. I was avoiding the news at all costs, which is why Vampire History and Alec were good – they kept me preoccupied.
And best of all, Alice had had no vision of the Volturi's return. Yet.
I hoped you liked it. Please review, as they are what keep me writing...! (I'm open to critism, as long as it's constructive). I also accept anonymous reviews!
