Wonderful Paradise

I love you
Not only for what you are
But for what I am
When I am with you

Chapter one – Strange girl

"Corin, you can pick one." Aro glanced at me and I smiled; pleased as he had for once seen my effort and rewarded me. There, in the middle of the crowd, I saw her. She was petite, delicate and fragile looking, and even if human I found her to be kind of beautiful. Attractive. Just the kind of girls I would have liked in the old times when I was human. "Her," I smirked and walked towards her. The rest of the weak humans backed away in fear – every one of them, but her. She stayed, probably too scared to move. I turned to Aro and he looked as if he had known that I would have picked the girl (and he probably had since he knew exactly what kind of taste I had.)

"Would you like to eat with us?" he asked me but I wanted to take this one slow.

"No, but thank you – sire – for the offer," I said, enjoying that he showed me some respect, and he chuckled knowing why I declined. I wanted the human for myself tonight. I wanted to take her and kill her alone, drinking her blood slowly with pleasure.

"You are excused then," he said and I nodded, then turned to the human.

"Come," I ordered her but when she did not move, I gripped her arm - throwing her into my arms carrying her out.

My room was small and in the end of the hall. I was not Aro's favorite and didn't get anything big or so fancy but I was okay with what I had. I didn't have to do so much either and was happy to not be with on Aro's plans. To stay in the castle, having the friends I had there, and from time to time being called to do small things was a good trade and completely fine with me.

I carried her inside and placed her on my bed and as I could almost smile as I watched her pale face filled with fear. I leaned closer to her as she crawled backwards. I let my hand touch her cheek and I inhaled her scent, noticing that she smelled exceptionally good. I placed my lips at her arm, just about to take a small bite when suddenly something happened. I felt ill. My stomach suddenly turned inside out and my head started to hurt, banging like a drum, telling me to stop whatever I was doing.

My gift was to feel what was going to happen. Nothing up against to what Alice Cullen's gift could do though and that was why I was not so important. Even if her ability couldn't be used until people had made their decisions – mine could be just a nibble saying something was good or bad to do. Not good enough for Aro, that is.

I paused in my movement and glanced up at the girl. How come it could be bad to kill one girl? Tears were flowing down her cheeks and I pulled away. I sat to the side of the bed, holding my hands at my head and wondered when the pain would let go. I closed my eyes and started to count. 1… 2… 3… 4…

"Are you okay?" her voice was soothing even if shaking and it was making my headache fade somewhat.

"Yes," I lied and took a deep breath I did not need. I hated when this happened – vampires weren't supposed to get sick! Why did I have to get this ability then? And who was that human to ask? Had she not her own problems to think about? Like not being eaten.

"You really don't look okay," she said and I was just about to hiss something at her when I noticed how close she was. I had not even noticed, and I was surprised that she dared. "You should lie down," she mumbled and I could detect worry in her voice. Worry I was not worthy. I did not know her. I was just about to kill her! How could she worry about me?

It was probably some kind of plan to get out of here, I figured. She sounded sad for me and if I hadn't known better I would have believed her little charade. She was smart, but I was smarter than she thought. She just wanted to get away, and I understood why.

"I don't need to lie down!" I muttered and stood up. "I'm hungry."

She looked confused. "Eat then," she mumbled and looked around for a small refrigerator or something. "Can I get you something?"

"No, it seems like you cannot," I muttered and glared at her. I paused and started to walk towards the door.

"Should I just stay here?" she asked quietly and I nodded once. Then shut the door and locked it not only so that she would stay inside, but so that nobody could come inside. This would, for now, be a secret. My secret.

I was bored and wrote this short little thing. So whatever you think - review!!!!!
