I'll never forget that day. The day that changed my insignificant life forever. The day I was forced to serve them , to adore them , to follow their orders no matter what … the day mei freedom was ripped from me leaving me alone and vulnerable .The day they murdered my parents and kept me because they were intrigued with my "gift". But this gift had only led me to this fate . To the Volturri .
My parents were so looking forward to this vacation. Italy , travelling almost all across the world for one week in the amazing city – Volterra.
They had gotten the tickets from some agency , they were marvelling at all the statues and the ruins , even talked about doing this every year .
Little did they know it would be their last vacation. My momto Renee – is … had been my best friend and an unpredictable cook , I could talk hours about her but it's too painful to think of her . My father Charlie was a quiet but nice person he was a chief of our hometown . He sometimes took me to his work - on slow days though , of course . He had been so fond of me always doing his best to keep me happy , make me smile and protect me – but on that day he couldn´t .
His eyes were red and very intimidating, he had long and white hair , and his skin looked so bristle and yet hard .
He took my hand in his and as he did he closed his eyes . " Mhm how very exactly are you doing to keep me out of your intriguing and confusing mind dear Isabella?"
I remember looking at my father´s corpse .. then my mothers face looking at me wide eyed.
" Nobody will save you now girl . You answer right now !! " a threating voice said
" Silence Caius ! Can´t you see you are scaring our little lady ?!" The one naimed Caius glared at me an I found myself trembling ; no shaking witrh fear . " Now Now little one don´t you know that you are blocking me ?"
I shook my head and said instead " Don´t hurt my mommy …"
"I will spare your life if you choose to join us after your change into a newborn my dear . Come now you can make your mommy very proud . Either way you will day but if you choose to join us you may be eighteen forever."
I was trembling so badly he understood my tremor as a yes.
" Heidi take her to one of our guest rooms we have a new family member ."
" Yes master .."
My mother started sobbing " No, no not my baby don't hurt my baby … please no."
The blonde named Heidi took me up into her arms – they were so cold . Then she started walking away from my mommy
" mommy "
" I love you honey .. I always will never forget that you are my life ."
" I love you mommy"
When Heidi had taken me through the doors the red eyed guards closed the door but before I was out of ear-shot I heard a ear piercing scream that quickly died down .
I started crying on the blond shoulder .. I was all Alone .
I woke up drenched in sweat, tears coming down my cheeks wishing that my nightmare was just that a nightmare and not my past .
"it's okay it's okay it was just a dream " Heidi my mother for all intents and purposes cooed.
" No it wasn't it really did happen " I choked, really sobbing now.
" I'm so sorry baby .. so sorry . " I flinched when she called me baby my mother used to say that - such a terrible reminder.
She either was oblivious to my reaction or ignored it she patted my arm and said " Aro wants to see you he has a task for you and only you ."
After showering I looked into the mirror , my reflection although still looked like a mess.
My long brown hair wasn't curly but shaggy . My brown eyes were red from stress and crying and my expression was worn it felt like I was wearing a mask.
" Well this is as good as it's gonna get." I sighed and went to my dresser picking out a blue sweater and grey slacks. I doodled while drying my hair debating if I should just say aro to ask someone else to do the task .
" Hurry up " Felix bellowed from the hallway making me jump in the process. " Felix be yourself somewhere else."
" I would but this is just so much more entertaining…."- he stopped when I threw the door open and glared at him" wow you sure look hot , but what's up with the waterworks ?"
"Non of your business , now back off " I growled , moving past him down the ancient hallway.
I suddenly felt his arm wrap around my shoulders.
" Why so charming this morning " he teased his cold breath tickling my ear.I rolled my eyes ever since my recent ( as in a few months ago ) Felix had began to stalk me , teasing and flirting with me .I didn't even know why he even bothered , but right now I simply ignored him till I was right in front of the doors of the conference room ,the door slightly cracked, I heard hushed voices on the other side making my insides shiver and crumple up . " Go back to Gianna I'm sure she misses you …"
" You will come to your senses one day , and when that day comes i´ll be right here for you.
Remember i´ll always be waiting in your shadows .. waiting " he threatened.
And then he was gone . I just simply shook the feeling of dread off and went trough the grand doors. I more or less burst through the door and saw Aro and Marcus sitting next to each other , Aro looked annoyed while macius looked his usuall self – impassive.
" I was told you wanted to talk to me "
They both looked up macius´s eyes glinted and Aro smiled brightly
" Ah my dear .. yes I have a task for you and only you can do it . Becausse of your gift. I need you to go to Forks and spy on a family . They are porwerful but they won´t harm you dear. They are what you would call them vegetarians."
" Really " I blurted" I didn´t een know vampires like them existed , … impressive "
Marcus chuckled . Aro looked shok but merely shook his head " Yes it is I want you to check up on them … actually I want you to make sure that they are not exposing our secret . But don´t tell them you were sent . You will merely observe but try not to interact to much . Then be sure to report to us . Then we will work from there , your are leaving in an hour make sure to not call attention to yourself while you are in Forks you will be attending highschool and live in you parents old home alone everything is taken care of money etc . Demitri will update you with their powers and everything you will have to know for this mission, and Matthew will be your right hand for all the "dirty " work. Now go run along now ."
