A/N: Well okay, so this is my first fanficton I have written and I'm not feeling very good about it. Check out my profile and you will see that I am a HUGE Michael Sheen fan. thank you Torytigress92 for good writing, and inspiration!
Well here goes absolutely nothing. :$
Aro's Point of View:
" Ahhh, Carlisle my old friend, I thought I would come down to visit you it has been so long." I greeted
"Yes, yes it has Aro well… when do you plan on arriving?", my old friend replied warily
"I will arrive in two days, and Carlisle I will have to talk to you when I see you in person, as I am not very familiar with all this technology, forgive me."
"No need to apologize I understand, goodbye Aro."
And with that I hung up, smiling, little did he know I was not dropping by for a visit because I wished to see him again, but because I was there strictly to see how powerful his coven has become, as my brothers and I fear that with their new acquired gifts they will try to overpower us and take the right to rule the vampiric world away from the Volturi. The onlythings in that conversation I said that were true was that I was coming to his residence and that I truly do hate today's technology, it confuses me sometimes.
As I look at this "cell phone" with disgust I think back to my human youth all those centuries ago, and that I was so amazed at the newest invention, steel. Time had gone fast, leaving me behind, now even my ways of thinking were dated. Sadly, I was pulled out of my reverie by the angry yells of Caius ordering me back to the throne room to discuss God knows was issue. He truly does need to learn his place, I as one of the highest ranked leaders of the coven does not get ordered anywhere by anybody. But still out of respect I go to see what it is he wants, as I leave I think of how nice it will be to finally be free from the castle walls and out into the world.
Bella's Point of View:
I sighed thinking about the life I left in Phoenix, for the life I will have to start to rebuild from scratch here in this little town called Forks. Who would name a town that?, it was such a odd little name. As I look outside my dad's police cruiser window seeing the pouring rain, I started thinking how it's hard to believe I left the brilliant sunlight, and sand, and naturally growing cactus, for a damp, dark, rain infested hole. I was also a bit of a city girl coming from Phoenix, Arizona with a population of about 1.5 million people living in the city alone, not including the suburbs. I think I will slowly go insane here with less than 1,302 people to talk too, and then the dreaded beginning of the junior year of high school, and to make matters worse it was the beginning of the semester. Sadly I was never pulled from my depressed thoughts, thanks to my dad, Charlie, he liked to keep to himself, and not hover or talk a lot, in those ways we were a lot alike. When we finally arrived at the small little house and I unpacked, I laid back on the bed being thankful that today was a Friday and my parents wanted me to have the weekend to make preparations for school. And so it began.
Aro's Point of View-
Finally, it was Saturday and I was on a plane taking me to Washington or to be more exact a little town of "Forks" peculiar name in my opinion but anything location was good for me as long as I was away from the castle, do not mistaken me I do love the castle but one cannot stay in a place for more than ten centuries, having your "guard" do tasks for you in other places around the globe enforcing the law. I needed this, I needed to be free and that is why I am arriving one day earlier than scheduled just to roam around and explore or more importantly feed. I, it seemed was the only one of my brothers who wanted to go out into the world, for that I am thankful I do not handle other people with small minded views following me around. I wanted to be alone for a while and run.
As I left the plane passing the humans, who stared stupidly at me in total awe at my naturally acquired beauty that came with being a vampire, I could not help but think that something other than the information that the Cullen's where probably not going to take advantage of their gifts would be learnt or...obtained, I could sense something, something far away, something with a delicious scent, a human. I do not have a mate ever since my love had been killed in a war with the Romanian coven, but she was not my mate I could smell it in the very few drops of blood still in her veins, through other vampire's thoughts I could tell what a mate's blood would smell like and what effect that would have on me if I ever did find her, well now I had found her and I was having a very difficult time controlling my bloodlust.
If I had not made a promise to myself when I was first changed that I would make an effort to be very controlled and refined and put on a calm and sophisticated mask to shield the obvious thirst in my now onyx colored eyes I would have ripped every human and/or vampire in half with my bare hands just to get a taste of that precious nectar running through her veins. But, I held it in I held on to the information that a vampire will never be truly happy without their mate, so I have to take advantage of the new finding and seek it out, has it just so happened I had everything I wanted except happiness that came with finding a mate. And once I left the airport and the horrid smell of human food wafting out through the restaurant's doors, I went to find the much better smell, the smell of my future mate.
Bella's Point of View:
I needed to get away, I needed to escape but sadly the only place I had to escape was outside out in the damp, dark forest life of the Pacific Northwest. But, anything, anything would do I needed to face the realization of me being here, but I needed to do it in an open area I was already feeling claustrophobic in that tiny house as is.
When I finally arrived in a clearing located in the woods, I could feel a presence lurking behind a giant pine, watching me. I saw a flash of crimson then it slowly formed into a beautiful even more terrifying color of black.
I slowly saw the shape that the colors had taken, they were eyes, and in those eyes I could see…hunger. My heartbeat sped up as the owner of those eyes revealed himself. I gasped at the sight, he was gorgeous, with jet black hair and pale skin he was perfect. But I was still afraid, considering he was stalking me.
Aro's Point of View:
I had run through the forest as fast as my vampire speed would take me to reach her. And I finally did, … she was the most beautiful human I have ever seen, I had seen beautiful humans before but none with innocence as this one did. She was so unaware of her looks it was humorous most mortals and immortals with that degree of beauty would be constantly looking in mirrors and bragging about it but this human was different, she was perfect.
I could sense some pull I would have to talk to Marcus about it later, but all I could feel right now was desire. She seemed frightened; as she rightfully should be as I was watching her I was contemplating whether or not to kill her. In my previous thoughts I decided not to but the way she smells is too good not to rethink, it does sound selfish but I would give up and eternity of happiness just to get a taste. Although I am curious on how my self control will\ holdout with this new mouthwatering scent nearby.
I would never let her learn of my desire; I mean she is only a human, a powerful Volturi leader cannot afford to be involved with such, besides she is beneath me. For the time being I only want to test my control, it makes for a stronger leader.
"Hello", I greeted smiling predatorily
"Um…..h h hi" she stuttered out of fear
"What would a woman be doing out in the woods alone, it's dangerous" I said as I circled around her small figure taking her image in my mind.
"Um… well I just needed some time to think, and who are you?" she replied gaining more confidence and coming off slightly annoyed
"Oh yes, where are my manners, forgive me, my name is Aro, and you are, mio caro?" I replied with a smug smirk painted on my face
"I don't think I should say, considering I'm in the middle of the woods with someone I don't know that just happened to come out from behind a tree, as if stalking me", she pointed out raising her voice a little more than needed, with, finally, the realization of matter hitting her.
With that sudden outburst I whirled her around so her back was to my torso and I took off my gloves. She gasped from the sudden movement, and became rigid with fear, probably thinking I was one of those human criminals who assault women. She wasn't far off except I am not human and I was only interested in one women, her.
After I took off my gloves I reached for her bare hand, when are skin came into contact I shuttered from her warmth, and she shuttered from my cold. But that was not the only thing that bothered me, what bothered me is that I could not read her thoughts as I could do with every other vampire I've met and every human I've killed. She was a shield, a mental shield that could do what no other been able to do, and that was to be totally unaffected by my gift. I stared in awe as I let her go from my grasp. I stepped back to face her, she looked at me as if, I had grown three heads, and with a slight trace of the still lingering fear from my previous actions...
"You should be heading home now, mio caro, it is not safe here in the woods as you have just witnessed" I said smoothly, making an annoyed face appear on her profile.
"Thanks" she replied sarcastically, "and you're lucky I have decided not to report this to my father" she added thinking she had won, "oh and by the way I'm not your dear" she said putting the final touch on her comment...
Well she is a brave one, anyone who had just when through what I had done would not have stood up to her attacker like that. Although, perhaps she's a little too smart for her own good this is what I was led to believe when she asked…
"A…..Why do you have red eyes, and…. why do they change color sometimes when you look at me?, just a minute ago they were black." she asked hesitating on some of her words.
I just smiled "Well, it funny you asked…" I hesitated, "Oh excuse me I remember before the little predicament I asked you for your name I will answer your question once you tell me, I am very curious"
"My name is Isabella, but I go by Bella, now can you answer my question?" she answered
Oh, Isabella, that name rolled perfectly off my tongue...
"No Isabella I don't think I can, not now that you have noticed my differences, you're a liability and that is why I must take you back with me now."I answered calmly and smoothly
She stood there for a moment before my words sunk in and then she ran. Well, she "tried" to run that is. I caught her, and grasped her in my hands with ease, we were now inthe same position as earlier accept this time I had my now gloved hand over mouth holding in her screams for help.
I did not want to let her go, I relished the feel of her in my arms,squirming trying to get free, her small body fighting to get out of my hold. Her attempts were useless; I would not let her go. With one free hand I reached for my cell phone and called myguard to come with our private jet to take us both back to Volterra to discuss her fate.
And now we wait.
