Chapter 1

In my room, sprawled out on the floor with my hands behind my head, I am trying to relax while listening to the calming playing of a piano. With my super sensitive ears I could hear someone approaching from the end of the hall. I notice the fast paced, clicking walk to be that of the Volturis secretary, Gianna. She finally reaches my door and I hear her take a deep breath before knocking on the heavy wooden door. I am leaning on the door way, arms folded, before she can knock twice. The secretary gasps at my speed but tries to quickly cover her surprise by petting her hair.

"Master Aro wishes to see you," I could see that my presence made her nervous, "He says that it's important and that you should make sure you get there quickly." Her attraction towards me was quite visible. But also was her fear of me.

I then proceeded to give her a gentle smile, making sure she would see my extremely white and extremely deadly teeth. "Thank you for seeking me out to give me such important orders, Miss Gianna,"I leaned down now grabbing her hand and kissed it while looking straight in her eyes.

"Uhh...it was my, uhm, pleasure." I could see that I had stunned her and then continued to walk past her through the hall to find Aro.

I looked back to see if Gianna had managed to pick her jaw from the floor and noticed that she was still standing in the doorway with a dumbfound look on her face. "Huh, humans! So easily manipulated." I scoffed.

I pushed through the wooden doors into the ancient looking room. The room was very medieval looking, with stone walls and floors. Caius and Marcus sat in two of the three massive wooden chairs located in the middle of the room. I looked around for Master Aro and spotted him with his hands folded looking out the stain glass window out to the garden. The three brothers were dressed in their usual black, floor length, robes with their usual expressions. Caius and Marcus looked bored like always quietly discussing whether to go ahead and make their secretary a meal because she was no longer as entertaining as before. Aro looked as still as stone and deep in thought but once he heard my entrance his expression immediately changed into one of delight. "Ah, Felix!" He grabbed my hand and squeezed it welcomingly. "I am so happy to see that you have arrived in a timely manner! The matter I wish to discuss with you must be dealt with immediately with much care!"

I was surprised he requested for me to deal with his important matters. Usually the only one he entrusted with that was his darling Jane. "Of course, Master Aro!" I said eagerly, "Whatever it is, you can be assured that I will not fail you."

He put my face in his hands and gently kissed my forehead. "That was what I was hoping to hear. I knew I was right in choosing you to be the one to handle this business." I couldn't stop smiling after he said that. Aro usually only let me handle with destroying vampires that disobeyed a law. Never something so important.

"It has come to my attention that it has been over 6 months since we encountered the Cullen clan and had a heated discussion on what should happen with their little human," Aro's voice was very eager and his eyes also showed his eagerness. He was always fascinated with the Cullen's multiple gifts but their human that was immune to the powers controlled by the mind fascinated him more. An obsession more than a fascination really. "We must see if they held up their end of the bargain. A visit must be paid to the Cullen's residence to show we do what we say and no one is above the law. You, my dear Felix, are to show up unannounced and present yourself to the Cullen's residence reminding them of our deal. See to it that she has been changed or use force if they refuse to turn her to make certain she cannot tell a soul of our existence." He was now very serious. Aro usually tried to keep up a laid back appearance but not when it dealt with the law.

"Have I made myself clear, Felix? Please tell me if you are not up to the task and I will have Jane go."

As he said those words Jane walked into the room. I could see the smugness in her face. She knew that Aro doubted my abilities but I would prove them wrong and make him proud of me.

Narrowing my eyes toward Jane and giving her a small smile i said "You have nothing to worry about Master Aro. I will make you proud." I then turned around and left the room smiling knowing quite well that Jane was not happy that I had not backed out of the task.

Although I was honored to be given such an important task from Aro traveling across the world was very unpleasant. Hours spent in a plane to get off and then spend hours in a car started to get me a bit aggravated. I was extremely relieved to see the "Welcome to Forks" sign. "Finally!" I sighed. Now it's time to go on foot.

I felt free running through the forest. It was nice to not be in a closed in space and be able to spread my legs and arms. I was not worried of being spotted because at the speed I was going there was nothing to see but a blur. In the forest there are many smells and sounds that catch my attention but the scent I caught next was not one I was familiar with.

The scent brought me to halt. It was like nothing I have ever encountered. It made my mouth water but also made my body yearn for it. It was hard to put the scent in words. I could smell the wind with the hint of salt. The smell of a fire and smoke. I could smell the sun, the moon. I could smell the Earth, the grass, flowers. I could smell trees, huge oak and pine. The scent was intoxicating. Next thing I knew I was walking around the forest searching for the source that contained this overwhelming smell. I heard the sounds of a small waterfall. Walking in that direction I came upon a boy entering the water.

The young boy was naked and began swimming and floating above the water. It was then that I realized that the compelling scent that had me searching was right in front of me. It was the young boy. He was not yet aware that I was just behind the walls of trees that seemed to seclude the small waterfall from the rest of the forest. The boy was very tan, with shaggy black hair. He was absolutely beautiful to me. I have been alive for a very long time and cannot recall ever seeing someone quite as beautiful. As he floated on the water his arms were spread out and his eyes were closed. He seemed very relaxed and he didn't appear to be too worried about any predators.

I wanted to see him. To talk to him. I wanted to smell him. I wanted to touch him. My extreme curiosity about the boy got the better of me. Before I could stop myself I was already walking to the ponds edge. The boy heard me as I approached and immediately swam in the opposite direction. I wanted to yell to him that "it was okay", that "I was not someone that was interested in hurting him." But he didn't seem too interested in hearing what I had to say. He began running out of the water and what happened next had shocked the hell out of me! This once very ordinary looking boy transformed into a sandy colored wolf!
