The Violet Hour
Aro
I looked out at the sky, the dark sky. It was a New Moon. These were always my favorite nights. Sulpicia, she no longer needed me. I let her go, with out hesitation. Like she ever loved me.
Then I reminded myself what I wanted from the Cullens. Alice. I need her power, to be part of the Volturi Guard, and she would be my favorite. I had heard her mate had resently been killed, trying to protect her. Though, I felt pity for her. I guess she had loved him. Sad, I can't remember the last time I had felt sadness. My human life had been so short. So brief.
"Aro. Your attention is required."
"Yes."
I was surprised to see Alice, standind there in front of the door. Her head down.
"Alice! What a lovely surprise! What brings you here?"
"If you hadn't known, my mate resently died. And I have been thnking awhile, and, I want to be part of the Guard. I have nothing else to live for. I thought this was my last chance. I need to be....acompainied. I have never been alone."
"That is very intresting, you want to be the Guard. How about this, you become the coven?"
"I wish to be the guard, then the coven if you desire."
"Very well. It is done. Alice, welcome to the Volturi." She nodded, and Jane showed her to her chamber. I was glad that Alice was finally part of the Volturi. She of course was most prized. I went to her chamber, to talk over everything.
"Come in Aro, your welcome."
"Now dear, I wanted to go over a few rules with you. One, you must always respect others of the guard and coven. Two, our diet is very strict here too. That may be dificult for you. And you may take your time. Three, Protect you brothers and sisters of the guard. Four, you must attend all meetings."
"I understand. And, I don't mind the diet. I will ajust."
"Very good. Would you like a black dress, or a robe?" I smiled as she looked up at me. "A dress would be fine. Make sure it's black." She smiled a little. Jane warmed up to her rather quickly. They would do everything together. She respected those around her, she always loved to be around everyone. Her and Marcus were also getting bonded. Alec was fond of her as well. But I became attatched to her as well. Maybe more than I should be.
