Terra walked into the room, it was overly sweet, the natural scent of the rest of her family… She shuddered, there was not much she liked about them. They were not scary, they were not even that dangerous, she could not understand how the humans could ever fall prey to such beasts…
She froze; there was a new scent to the maelstrom... This one was deeper, stronger… She flexed her fingers and allowed them to change. Long thin claws glistened in the moonlight; she barred her teeth and moved ahead cautiously.
If someone had hurt them she would… She would…
She paused, she was not sure… Unless they had hurt her mother or father she did not care… She did not even like the Cullens…
Did it matter? Killing some vampiric freak would make her day even better. She would kill them for the hell of it. She decided with a nod of her head, her long black hair bobbing as she nodded suddenly with the decision.
"Terra? Is that you?" A voice said from down the hall. It was Nessie, her mother. Her name was short for Renessemee… The dumbest name ever conceived by a… by anything.
"Hmph… Yeah." She growled, pulling the claws back in. She had dark skin like her father but her eyes were a golden brown that resembled wolves' eyes.
Sitting in the corner of the room was a short man with an angular face and a taunting smile.
"There's the guest of honor…" He cooed with delight. Terra fought to keep her lunch down and her claws in.
"Who the hell is this freak show?" She growled jamming a thumb in his direction. He looked up, reage flashing in his ruby eyes. She growled, "Well-fed freak show…" She said negating all chances of an apology. His face was paper white and drawn taut over his bones. Long white-gold hair was pulled back into a tight bun that brought all of his features into sharp relief.
"This is Aro…" Bella said from the corner of the room with a cat-like hiss.
"Shut it, Barbie." Terra snapped, "Alright, ya white-faced creep… Whaddya want?"
He looked shocked and appalled. She could see it all in his eyes, he was royalty of some sort. No one treated him like this. What was more, she was not even really a half blood, not anything that was worth his time anyways… and yet here he was, calling her the guest of honor. Something about it made her hackles stand on end.
He ignored her and turned to Carlisle, "She does not seem to want to listen… Would you…" Aro's face contorted with frustration, "Explain it to this… Girl…" He ground out the words one at a time, careful not to say the towards that danced in his eyes, begging to be thrown at her.
She held a finger up to Carlisle; it was taking everything she had as was to keep from killing everyone in the room.
"No… How about you explain it to me. Unless, of course you lack the balls to say what you need to say." She said. It was a dangerous move, but she was tired of safe, it was time for a fight, and she would kill this full-blood and enjoy every moment of it.
He was up in a moment; his vampire speed was on par… His face was far too close and his stench was nearly overpowering, her stomach did a back flip.
"I am Aro of the Volturi… You would do well to listen, it is by my good graces that you still live. Show some respect."
"You got that backwards, there, creepy…" Terra growled allowing one of the claws that she had gotten under his chin to cut his flesh. He gasped and leaped back.
"So you just came here to threaten me?" She said with a half smile, he was enraged, whatever his next move, it would be hasty and ill-informed… Just the way she liked vampires. She would rim him apart. His all-knowing smirk had been ripped from his face and the small cut on his face was healing super-fast. The massive gash to his ego would never really heal.
When he did not respond she turned her back, "Good, then go home." She growled.
Edward was in the corner, his arms around Bella like a harness. His eyes flashed at her, she snarled back, they had done this before, he lost his jaw for a week… Stupid pretty boy…
"I came here to ask you to do what you do best… Kill…" Aro said from behind, "And in return you may have whatever you wish." Terra froze… It was a win-win deal, she turned and gave a wicked smile, "I am in." She stated, "Who do I get to kill?"
