hello! So as most of you know, I have not posted in YEARS! A lot has been going on and I have been to busy to upload let alone look at this account in so long. I had some time so I decided to look through my old stories I used to write and post on here and was overwhelmed with the support and the reaction of my one fanfic I wrote 'Just give me a reason' I reread it and I am decided to do a spin off story! I really hope you guys enjoy it I have worked super hard trying to think of something to base this storyline of of.
"For death is no more than a turning of us from time to eternity."-William Penn
"Chrissy darling will you go greet our guests at the door?" Mother asked politely, raising one of her perfectly arched eyebrows as if she was willing me to talk back at her. I mean it's only in my nature. I'm sarcastic, "Salty" as the kids outside of the castle would say now a days so saying something clever back is second nature to me.
"You mean your dinner?" I smirk, testing my mothers patience. She rolls her eyes dramatically, one of her signature moves and crosses her arms.
"You know that is our lifestyle honey. You're just like Isabella in that sense, Always caring for the humans. It's admirable really but I never understood that." Mother speaks of Isabella so nonchalantly, as if she barely existed. The whole castle really did now. No one ever spoke about the fearless princess who one ruled this castle. Even after all this time. Emmett was the only one. He would never cease to amaze me with the stories of how Isabella would play pranks on the whole castle guard or how she would save children just about to go into the throne room. From the stories I've heard about her, she seemed like someone that would've done this castle good.
I decided not to even acknowledge my mothers comment as I walked out of the room to go fetch the "Guests" as my mother called them. Oh if only they knew their impending fate. I swing open the large ancient doors and lead a group of some 60 tourists into the castle.
"Welcome to Volterra!" A fake grin plastered onto my pale face as I lead them down the poorly lit narrow corridor leading to my father and uncle Marcus's throne room. I scan over the group of humans. It was the usual group, khakis, fanny packs, typical humans, except one. She had blonde flowing hair and beautiful green eyes, looking around the age of 9. No this was wrong, she was too young to die at the hands of my family. She was innocent I couldn't let her life end. I felt my legs walking briskly towards her as I crouched down and felt a genuine smile creep onto my face.
"Hi there sweety, what's your name?", I ask politely. She smiles sweetly and makes eye contact. Her eyes she seems so familiar I just couldn't understand why.
"I am Jenna." She speaks quietly. I hold out my hand a sense of urgency pulsing through me. The need to get her out of here stronger than ever. Jenna takes my hand gently.
"Let's get you out of here Jenna, you don't want to tour an old smelly castle now do you?" She shakes her head as I lead her to another part of the castle. I decide to take her to the kitchen and fix her a snack. We enter the small kitchen and I let her take a seat. "What can I get for you honey?" I look at her, she shrugs seeming preoccupied and turning her attention to the chair across from her. I ignore it, not really giving it much thought and start making her a sandwich.
"My parents are going to die aren't they?" She pipes up, no emotion in her voice. I feel myself tense up, my mind desperately tries to find a comeback, but I decide to just let her know the truth. I give a small nod and turn to face her. Her emerald eyes bore into mine and she watches me as I cross the room and take a seat next to her.
"How did you know they were going to die?" I ask gently holding my arms out, she quickly climbs into them and holds me tight.
"Isabella told me. Right before you took me away. She told me to trust you, that you wouldn't hurt me."
And...Chapter one is finished! so sorry its so short guys its just so hard to get back into the swing of things, I promise the next chapter will be much longer. At least 3 reviews for chapter 2? I hope you guys enjoyed it.
