Chapter One
Alice P.O.V.
Today Aro, Marcus, Caius and the rest of the guard were going to sort out a mess in Forks. It wasn't really a mess, but we'd had a tip off from a vampire named Irina. The minute she mentioned immortal child we had to sort it out. I'd never met the Cullen's. Well I'd never really met anyone outside of the Volturi and their guard. Ever since I was changed I had lived with them in Volterra. Aro told me that the Cullen's were like me, feeding off the blood of animals, I couldn't wait to see them.
That isn't the only difference about me though, I wish it was. You see, I guess you could say that I am a freak among freaks. I have the power to use other people's gifts and retain them. I can also invent new gifts; it's limited though, if someone already has it, I can't get it unless I get near them. I think that's why Aro wants me to stay with them. His head is filled of thoughts of what could happen if he hadn't found me. Yes, I can read minds. I got it from somebody who came to Volterra less than a year ago. I never got meet them though.
"Alice, we're leaving for Forks, come on," Jane's impatient voice sounded from the throne room.
I had never liked Jane, although she gave me a pretty good gift. I can make people feel pain. Alec's power also comes in handy, especially when she was being annoying. Alec's power is to cut of your senses completely. No sight, no taste, no feel, no smell and no hearing. The good thing is, she can't do anything back to me because I can turn it back on her, it was a gift I thought of.
"Alice!" Jane was coming up the stairs to my room know, oh no.
"Coming," I quickly shouted back as I bolted out of my room at top speed.
I was wearing some of my best clothes; no doubt that Aro wouldn't miss a chance to show off his prized possession for the first time. Aro had said when the time is right that he would tell the world (of vampires) that I existed. He wanted every vampire to know that if they messed with the Volturi that they would have to deal with me. I felt like a pawn in a massive game of chess. I knew that Aro and the rest of them were just using me, knowing how powerful I was.
Around two hours later, after running for a while, we slowed down as we neared the clearing where the Cullen's would be waiting. Aro, Marcus and Caius entered first. Followed by the guard, then the wives, and then I came in right at the very back.
I paid no attention as they discussed the matter at hand.
"Alice," Aro's voice broke through the silence I had made myself hear. "Come here."
I slowly walked forward, my head down. I didn't really want anyone to see me, afraid of what they would say.
When I arrived at Aro's side he took my hand.
"Don't be rude," he chastised. "Say hello, Alice."
"Hello Alice," I muttered as a smile played on my lips. Nearly everybody laughed, even Caius and Marcus. Aro didn't seem very pleased with me. I let a small giggle out; the sound was like wind chimes. I don't laugh very often.
"Alice," he hissed very low so that only I could hear.
I straightened up, anticipating the gasp of shock as every one took in my appearance.
Jasper P.O.V.
We were in the clearing awaiting the arrival of the Volturi. Emmett and Rosalie had gone missing a couple days ago. No one had seen them, apart from the wolves that let them pass over the treaty line. I wondered what they were doing.
I looked up just as they entered the clearing. I can't believe that Irina would do something like this, to her own family. It was a good thing that we had worked out what had happened though. My jaw dropped at the sight. I thought it would just be Jane, Alec, Felix and Demetri. Of course it wouldn't be that easy. First came Aro, Marcus and Caius. Following them were the guard, the wives and right at the end of the synchronized procession was… My undead heart would have skipped a beat if it could. Right at the end was a young girl, totally out of place, not wearing a cloak, but a knee-length blue dress. Her head was covered in short, spiky black hair. She looked short, like a pixie. She was gorgeous. She stayed at the back throughout the whole thing, acting as though she couldn't hear a word. Well, I wasn't even paying attention myself. I let them sort it out. I looked around at all the witnesses we had gotten to stand on our side. All of them stood as though this might not be there last moments. I knew how quickly this could turn into a fight if the Volturi chose it to.
A sudden wind blew and I caught Emmett and Rosalie's scent. They came into the clearing followed by a male and a female. The male had a heartbeat similar to Nessie's. It was faster than normal human's, like a hummingbird's.
I turned my attention back to the angel; I wish I knew her name. A couple of minutes later Aro turned his attention to the girl at the back.
"Alice, come here." He turned back to us as she walked forward.
Alice walked as though she would rather be anywhere else. I couldn't help but wonder why.
"Don't be rude," he chastised as she reached his side. "Say hello, Alice."
"Hello Alice," she muttered. Her voice a clear soprano, as though she were singing every word.
I laughed, as did nearly everyone else. Even Caius and Marcus were laughing. Aro didn't seem very pleased. She giggled, it sounded like wind chimes. I saw Aro whisper something to her, but I couldn't hear it. Immediately she straightened up, when she lifted her head I gasped as did everybody else.
She flicked a piece of black hair out of her eyes. She was short, as I had thought. Really short, but so beautiful. The most shocking thing though was her eyes. They weren't golden or red. They were a bright blue. A piercing blue at that. I continued staring at her, but I wasn't the only one this time. Alice, I said in my mind, what a beautiful name. I caught Edward glancing at me from the corner of my eye. I just shrugged.
"Hi," Alice said again, feeling embarrassed.
"This is Alice, which you already know," Aro commented while glaring at her. He pushed her forward. "Tell them about yourself."
"No," she said stepping back.
"Alice," he warned.
"No, do it yourself," she growled.
Everybody in the clearing was shocked. We all stared at the confrontation between Alice and Aro. They glared at each other, I looked to Edward but he just shrugged.
"It's like Bella, I can't read their minds," Edward muttered. He was clearly confused.
Alice then turned around and took off, running straight past me.
"Well, I think everything is fine then, we'll be leaving," Aro said, dazed.
The Volturi and their guard proceeded to leave. There was a moment of silence before the clearing erupted into cheers, none of us died today. Not even Irina. My family turned to each other smiling.
"We made it," Bella muttered.
Soon all our witnesses had left as well, returning to where they were before, with Carlisle warning them not to hunt in the area.
"What was that?" Carlisle eventually asked.
"No idea, I couldn't read their minds," Edward answered.
"She looked so sad," Esme commented, always worried about others.
"Why do you think she ran off?" I asked, knowing that all of us wanted that question answered.
"Should we look for her," Esme asked curiously.
We all looked at each other, pondering over the question.
"Ok, we'll go back to the clearing and try to find her trail," Carlisle said taking charge.
We went back to clearing and started our search, her trail was all over the place, and then it just stopped, she's good, I thought to myself. Edward raised his eyebrow at me. I was a soldier, I thought back. Edward seemed to understand.
We split up; I was by myself, as I didn't have a mate. I went back into soldier mode and looked for any signs of her whereabouts. I came across her a couple minutes later. She was curled up in a ball, hidden by a bush.
Hope you like it, review, please, any comments about making it better, or if it's good the way it is, all welcome. Also any suggestions are welcome, different P.O.V's?
