Demetri' s mate
DPOV
I was walking along the many corridors within the Volturi Palace heading towards the feeding hall. I stood in my usual spot in the hall, next to Felix. I arrived only a few moments before Jane, the group we were going to be feeding on behind her. I vaguely noticed that there was a teenager in the group. At first I thought it strange, until I saw a woman stand in front of her. They looked a like. Probably a mother who wanted to go on the `tour` but didn't want to leave her daughter to her own devises. Then again this woman looked to young to have experienced mother hood. She looked only a few years younger than I was when bitten. Perhaps sisters then.
I brushed the annoying matter aside, the sound of thudding heartbeats and rushing blood filling my ears. Although there was two heartbeats that stood out. One was totally calm as if being lulled into a sleep, the other was similar but a little faster. Younger. My blood red eyes shot towards the pair I had noticed earlier. As I had suspected the woman looked very much at ease, where as the younger looked as though she were starting to panic a little.
I didn't matter now. I smirked as I heard the screams begin. My smirk quickly disappeared however when the woman still looked and sounded as if she were completely at ease with the situation she was in. I watched, fascinated, when Felix started to approach them. I only had a second to notice the quick sheen that covered the girls eyes, before they turned red.
Not like my own eyes. Hers were ferocious. Like flames they flashed. I barely had a chance to open my mouth before Felix flew backwards past me, his coat and hair singed. I turned back to the pair noticing that the woman was once again standing in front of the teenager. her stance screamed fight. Her back was straight, her shoulders taught. Her eyes were still flashing and there were sparks flying of her hands. Everyone's attention now focused in on the girl. The younger now placed behind her. As other guards tried to approach the two, a ring of fire seemed to explode from the girls hands and surrounded them.
It was clear the girl had a talent much more powerful than mine or even Alec's and Jane's. Jane tried to use her powers but was quickly found out and she also flew across the room. I glanced towards her to make sure she was fine. Her clothes were singed but other than that she was fine.
The remaining humans had gathered together in a corner of a room. Obviously hoping they would be forgotten, but they still wanted to see the scene in front of them out fold. As more guards including myself began to circle them Aro's voice rang out in the hall : " that's enough everyone, come now child we are not going to harm you. Retreat away from her, leave them both be. Come child tell me your name" Aro asked walking wearily towards them. " they are sisters" called out Marcus from his throne, sounding rather bored.
" ah that makes sense, your protecting your sister, well you have no need to we wont hurt you, my name is Aro. This is the Volturi palace" Aro gestured around him. The guards surrounding the sisters had retreated as Aro had asked.
The flames surrounding the women lowered. The youngest spoke " my name is Mina and im fifteen, this is Jasmine and she's my older sister like he said. She's Twenty two. Aro nodded at the girl and looked fascinated with the eldest.
" jasmine?" Aro asked quietly. The girl turned her sharp gaze towards him. " are you a vampire, I mean its not normal for a human to have these abilities, but then again I can hear your heart beat. Amazing that its still so steady." Aro observed. When jasmine didn't't answer just continued to look calmly at Aro. He looked towards the other, Mina. " we're not vampires, and jasmine isn't the only one who has powers. I can move stuff." the girl stated obviously wanting some attention. " but don't mind jay, she's just over protective."Demetri looked at Aro when he saw him turn towards him "can you take the two ladies to guest suites please. I would also like you to assist them if need be". Demetri nodded at his leader and walked briskly to the doors leading out of the hall. He turned back to the two women standing a few feet behind him. " this way please" he ushered. He didn't think the woman , Jasmine, was going to follow him herself or allow the other one, Mina, to follow. Jasmine cocked her head to the side and watched him for a few seconds before nodding. As if she had discovered the answer to a problem.
Demetri lead to the suite at a hurried pace. Hoping to get back to the hall to find somehow, someone had saved him at least one human that he could feed on. He really didn't feel like hunting tonight. He glanced behind him to see what they how they were taking the abruptness of not only escaping certain death but now having to sleep in the same halls as those who were going to kill them. Jasmine looked back at him coolly, Mina however looked fascinated with her surroundings and was looking around trying to take in every detail she could.
Demetri paused at a door just before the first of the guest suites. " this is where you can find me if there are any problems that you may need assisting with or anything of the matter" he opened the door next to his deciding in his mind that it would be Jasmines room. He wanted to keep an eye on her in case anything set on fire for no apparent reason. " this is your room Jasmine, and this is yours Mina". Once in their own rooms, Demetri shot of back towards the feeding hall, this time at vampire speed. When he arrived at the doors he was grateful that he heard two erratic heartbeats coming from inside. He smiled to himself as he realized that the burning in his throat would finally be quenched, that is only until the next day.
