Summary: No one knew the origins of the vampire race not even the Volturi. Suddenly vampires are being murdered by other vampires. Later the Volturi receive a note one day threatening everything they worked for in the vampire world. At first they think it's a joke but when the number of murders increase they search for the person responsible. Little did they know the person they are looking for is someone they thought was long gone and may even be someone they will fear? (Volturi x OC)
Chapter 1
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. Our story is about to begin."
Annabelle's POV
I removed my fangs from the man's neck and let his body drop to the cement. I started to walk away and Eleanor began to follow me. As she walked beside I looked down at her and smirked. There was still blood on the corner of her lips and some smeared on her cheeks.
"After centuries of being a vampire with me, you still can't remember to wipe the blood off your face after you eat." I laughed while wiping the corners of her lips and cheek with my thumb.
"Sorry Miss. Hayes." She says a slight blush on her face that was still noticeable even at night.
"It's alright." I say smiling at her. She looks up at me her bright red eyes meet mine. She smiled back and I pulled her hand in mine. Her blush grew any even brighter shade of red but she didn't say anything. We walk the rest of the way home in silent. To the people we passed, we looked like a mother and her daughter.
When we made it home I headed for the kitchen and Eleanor went up to her bedroom. I opened the refrigerator door and grabbed a bottle of water. When I closed the door I could see Aaron on the other side of the kitchen leaning against the counter. He was one of my favorite personal messengers.
"How long are you going to baby her?" He asks his black hair covering his eyes.
"Why, are you jealous?" I ask teasing him.
"It's sickening to see someone everyone should fear babying a useless girl." He growls.
"She's one of the purest vampires I've ever known. All of our souls are damned, but she seems different like no matter what she will always remain innocent and virtuous."
"Whatever."
"Is there a reason you came here messenger boy?" I snapped back starting to get impatient.
"I've heard that the Volturi are taking your threat seriously now and have sent men to look for you."
"Is that so, then I guess we shouldn't disappoint them. I'll go to them soon."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" He asks and I raise an eyebrow in curiosity.
"Are you worried Aaron?" I ask, once again teasing him. "I think we should stop playing around and start our plans. I want to claim what's mine. Once and for all."
"I'm just saying it won't be easy."
"Yes, but that's what makes its fun." I say turning away from him. "Please show yourself out." I walk away from him and up to my bedroom. I walk past Eleanor's bedroom and see she's on her bed reading a book.
I walk into my room and grab some new clothes from the closet because the ones I was wearing were covered in blood. I laid out a red and black striped top with black skinny jeans on the bed and went into the bathroom. I turned on the water and got in. I wash away the dirt and blood off my arms and hands that were left from the ones that put up a fight before they died. I sighed as I tilted my head back and let the water wash over my face and hair. 'They should be happy that they are being killed by the creator of their kind.' I thought to myself.
When I was finished I got out of the shower and threw on my clothes. I brushed through my wet hair and put on some makeup. When I was done I left my room and went to Eleanor's room. I stood in the doorway and she looked up from her book and at me.
"Do you want to go with me to that castle on the top of the hill?" I ask.
"Oh I would love to go there. The strongest coven of vampires live there"
"Yes and that's why we need to be extra careful. Do you understand?"
"Yes Miss. Hayes." She says and jumps off her bed.
"We'll leave after you clean yourself up." I tell her and close the door behind me.
I waited downstairs in the living-room for twenty minutes until Eleanor came down. She changed into a dark blue shirt, some jeans and a pair of converse. Her light brown hair was left down with her bangs covering one side of her face.
"Let's get going before it gets too late." I say looking at the clock. It was already nine and I knew our little trip wouldn't be quick. We walked down the streets of Volterra for ten minutes until the castle was in sight. We walked in and over to the desk secretaries to ask which way to go.
"Buonasera!" She greeted us.
"Good evening, can you show us which way to the ballroom."
"Do you have an appointment with the kings?"
"No, but I sent a letter saying I was going to visit." I tell her and she nods.
"I'll get the guards to show you." She says and calls for them. We waited for five minutes before I could see two men walking towards us.
"You want to see the kings?" The big one asks.
"Yes, I sent them a letter telling them about my return." I say to him and his eyes widen.
"You're the one who sent that threat to the kings?"
"I wouldn't really call it threatening." I shrug and begin to walk ahead of them with Ellie's hand in mine.
"You've saved the kings' time. Now they can call off the search, kill the two of you, and be done with it." The shorter one says causing me to smirk.
"We'll see." I tell them.
We all walk through the ballroom doors with the two guys now in front of me. There were three men in big chairs and two other guards looking at the four of us.
"This girl says she's the one who wrote and sent the letter you received earlier this month." The big one told them.
"Is that so Felix?" The man in the middle chair asks and smiled at Eleanor and I. He pulls a piece of paper out his pocket and looks down at it. "Dear Members of the Volturi," He began to read, "I have written this letter to tell you that I'm going to take what's rightfully mine. You were not meant to be the rulers of the Vampiric Society. I will come to the castle at the end of this month and take control of your coven. If you don't not step down peacefully you will be killed and the killing of the other vampires in this city will increase until I have total control. Get ready because your time as kings is coming to an end." He finishes reading. "Why would someone like you send a letter like this?" He asks looking up from the paper.
Caius' POV
The person who had sent us the letter earlier this month has finally come forward. What a stupid thing to do. This fool will pay for her actions along with the little girl beside her. Aro keeps asking them questions, but he is getting nowhere.
"Just kill them and get it over with!" I snapped getting sick of it. The girls eyes glanced over and meet mine. She smirked at me letting her fangs show.
"You're very impatient Caius." She says tilting her head. "I might just get rid of you."
"How dare you talk to me, a Volturi King, like that!"
"You will all soon be sorry." She whispers while looking at the ground.
"Sorry for what?" Aro butts in. She looks back up at him and them looks over at some of the guards.
"Doing my job." She quickly appears in front of one of the guards and snaps his neck. The body suddenly starts on fire and the three of us look on dumbfounded. "I will now take my place as the true ruler of the vampire world. You will not enforce anymore laws from now on and if you don't back down you will be killed." She says seriously.
"And what gives you the right?" I ask furiously, but never thought I would regret it.
"I'm the original vampire."
