Hey! This is my story tell me what you think! I hope you guys like it! For those who haven't read The Riddler's Gift I highly recommend it! Here are some character definitions. Also, The Volturi is a lot older than they say they are.
Tabitha: Wavy, brown hair, curled slightly at the ends, pale skin and luscious, full lips. She is a truthsayer, meaning she cannot lie (A lot like Bella, but her face is longer and Tabitha is taller)
Garyll: Dark, soft, yet piercing eyes, clean-shaven jaw, well built, dark brown hair. He is Swordmaster of Eryi, and carries a sword called Felltang.
Oki poke! Here is the much-needed disclaimer! I own a toothbrush… but I don't own Twilight or The Riddler's Gift.
My Lifesong: Chapter 1: Tabitha
Aro's POV
"Let the king decide who shall carry that blade," I heard the young man say.
The girl beside him extended her hand and he took it. A roll of 'thunder' came from the north and shook the ground. I shook my head. Poor Marcus, I told him not to get involved in this war, but did listen? Nope! And now it cost him his mate. Idiot! I watched silently as the young couple strode toward the palace gate. Both the girl and the boy would be a great asset to us. I crept stealthily toward them.
General POV
A great roll of thunder sounded from off to the north, where a mass of dark cloud dispersed, on great winds beyond River's End. The earth shook under their feet, just the once. Then Eryi was calm. Or so they thought.
Tabitha Serannon and Garyll Glavenor walked hand in hand across the battlefield of death, toward the sanctuary of the palace. As Garyll was reaching for the gate, a chuckle came from behind them. Garyll whipped around and shielded Tabitha's body with his own. Both Tabitha and Garyll gaped at this man's beauty. Slick black hair, pale, onion like skin, but the burgundy eyes warned Garyll, he was dangerous.
"Who are you? What purpose do you have here?" Garyll asked in a deep, powerful voice, the man did not seem intimidated at all.
"My name is Aro and I am here for your little girlfriend," Aro said, a small smile playing on his lips.
"Be gone!" Garyll shouted like he was yelling to a demon.
"Step aside boy!" Aro snarled, and started walking toward Garyll and Tabitha.
"Stop where you are! Are you a Shadowcaster?" Garyll was reaching for Felltang. Aro continued to stroll toward them, ignoring Gayll's threats.
Tabitha, held onto Garyll's free arm and trembled. This man is not human. She felt no lie in her words and her wizard's ring warmed on her finger.
Aro walked casually toward them. Their blood was absolutely tempting, since he has not fed in weeks. Tabitha cringed at Aro's every step, but Garyll kept his protective stance. In the blink of an eye, Aro was behind Tabitha, and before Garyll could act, Aro had his teeth deep in her neck. Tabitha let out a shrill cry and fell to the floor, whimpering.
Tabitha's POV
The man named Aro disappeared before my eyes and I felt a sudden burn in my neck. Seconds later a fire surged through my body and I fell to the floor whimpering as this fire engulfed me. I opened my eyes as much as I could and saw Aro standing over Garyll; a trickle of blood went down the edge of his mouth. My ring burned on my finger and with newly found strength I yelled.
"No! Stop!" I staggered toward him trying to find the notes to the Lifesong, in vain. Aro had knocked me aside when I reached them and I passed out.
Garyll's POV
Aro had bitten Tabitha in her neck? Why? I swung Felltang toward his head, but he stopped it with his delicate looking hand. I stared bewildered. He had let go Tabitha and was now facing me with a… hungry expression?
"I guess you wouldn't do too bad as my first meal," he said.
"What are yo-"
Before I could even finish my sentence, I was knocked backwards and pinned on the floor in a matter of seconds. My shoulder was pierced and I tried not to scream to show signs of weakness. I felt my energy being drained from me and heard the sweet voice of my beautiful Tabitha, but I was too weak too notice what was going on. I felt Aro get off of me and then there was silence. He was gone, with Tabitha. My dear, sweet Tabitha.
General POV
Aro flew through the tree toward Caius and Marcus, with Tabitha slung over his shoulder. He skid to a halt next to Marcus' sobbing figure. Caius turned to Aro on the rock he was sitting on and gasped.
"Aro! What in the world are you thinking? That is Tabitha! The wizard girl!" he yelled. "The King will send the whole of Eryi after her!"
"Calm down Caius, even if he does, he will not find us."
"It better be that way."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Garyll crawled toward the forest and lay in the hollow of a tree. He whimpered and cries but he dare not scream. He knew there was something wrong with him. So this is my punishment foe the betrayal of my kingdom. He thought
Three days later
The fire had ceased and Garyll crawled out of the tree hollow. Everything seemed to be sharper, clearer. An itch came from the back of his throat.
"I cannot go back," he muttered, and started walking further into the forest. A rustling came from the right of Garyll and a small deer jumped out. The itch raged into a burnand he leaped at it. The deer struggled and went stiff as its blood was drained. He stared horrified at what he had just done.
"What in the name of Eryi am I?" he roared into the trees.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Tabitha woke up with a start. The fire had gone and now three beautiful men surrounded her.
"Ah, I see you are awake my dear," said Aro.
"Where am I? Where is Garyll?" she panicked. "Why am I here? What am I?"
"Calm down, calm down. You are in Volterra and the Swordmaster is dead. As for why you are here and what you are, it shall be revealed later," he chuckled.
"But-" Aro held up a hand to silence her.
"You must feed," he clapped his hand twice and a young girl, about Tabitha's age was thrown in the room.
Tabitha's eyes turned black and without thinking, she ran and sunk her teeth into the girl's neck. Her blood was drained quickly. Tabitha leaped back and broke down in tearless sobs when she saw what she had just done.
"You will get use to it, do not worry," Aro said in a cheery voice and left with his brothers.
Tabitha lay on the floor sobbing for the rest of the night, her red, silk dress crinkled and her two necklaces hung loosely on her neck. She tried to sing to make herself feel better but her voice would not come.
Weeks passed and Tabitha never moved. Aro and his brothers would visit her everyday. She did not respond to them at all. All she did was cry tearlessly and whimper for Garyll.
"What is wrong with her?" asked Caius as they shut the door after their visit for the day. "She has not moved in three weeks!"
"Well I believe she does not know what she is," replied Aro with an amused chuckle.
"Well I say you go tell her now! I cannot take it any longer!"
"We shall tell her tonight when we bring her, her meal, my brother," Aro exchanged a glance with Caius. "Marcus, we have decided that you should tell her." At lease it will get him to speak.
Marcus raised his arm limply and Aro took it. You know very well what my answer is.
"Indeed I do my brother, but we feel it will do you some good." And with that Aro walked away with Caius, leaving their brother to think about what to say to young Tabitha.
