Chapter 2: Wide Eyes

I opened my eyes to see what was happening. There was large train going by, and we were underground. There was a girl next to me, staring and yelling.

"She's awake!!" she shouted. Suddenly several people were surrounding me with confused eyes, frightened expressions and excited grins. I stared back glancing to different faces, pale faces. Suddenly my mind flew back to the blonde haired girl, the pale skin, the moaning, sucking and biting. Suddenly a million words flew through my mind, Suck. Vampire. Pale. Strength. Speed. Blood. Cut. Scar. Red. Trent. Macy. Theodore. Clara. Richard. Julie. Clarise. Vampire. Vampire suddenly stuck in my mind. I glanced at the golden eyed, crimson eyed, black eyed pale people before me. I gasped at the train go by again, my ears hurting terribly. Than I saw the blonde girl. She looked at me with sad eyes and vanished. I glanced around at the other people. A onyx eyed girl came forward. She had dirty blonde hair and a pretty revealing dress on. It hugged her curves perfectly, making it seem like she was literally an hour glass. She smiled at me quickly and held out her hand.

"I'm Fayth." She whispered. I nodded and swallowed. I glanced at the boy next to her, he looked maybe twenty or a little older.

"I'm Kimmy." Another girl smiled who emerged from the crowd. She had black eyes and bright orange hair. Suddenly everyone was shouting. I closed my eyes shut tight and opened them again. They were all still here.

"This is my husband, Dean." Fayth said. I nodded again.

"And my daughter, Kimmy." She said. I nodded again.

"What's going on?" I asked. I was amazed of my voice, it sounded so breathtaking, like a million shards of glass have spoken for the first time. They all gasped at my beautiful voice and Kimmy helped me up. Her hair was glowing now. She quickly glided down the cold floor, leading to me a restroom.. I gasped at the reflection I saw in the mirror. These restrooms were disgusting. There is no way it was 1943 still.

"What's the date?" I asked curiously.

"It's Tuesday, the 15th of June. The year 1991." She said quietly. I gasped. It had been forty eight years!

"What?" I said facing her now.

"You've been going through the change for forty eight years." She whispered.

"What change?" I asked.

"Vampire change." She said quietly.

"I'm a vampire?" I asked stunned. She nodded. Than I quickly noticed my face. I had ivory colored skin, crimson eyes, and black shiny hair. My hair went down to my waist, and I had a black velvet dress on that went 6 in. above the knee. I guess I was.

"Aren't you thirsty?" she chimed in. I wasn't thirst at all actually, until she mentioned.

"Yes." I whispered. She quickly led me out of the weird underground place. She whispered for me to wear these sunglasses. I nodded in response. She quickly put on sunglasses as well. Some how, my brain became wired to know how to talk in this era. We were in some city, some huge city. She saw my confusion and whispered in m ear.

"Were in New York." She said. I looked at her confused again.

"New York City." She said. Oh.

"Oh." I suddenly knew what it was. There's the wired brain thing again.

I wonder what's wrong with her….

"Nothing's wrong with me." I muttered as we walked.

What! What! She heard me? Impossible..

"It's not impossible to hear you, your actually pretty loud." I muttered.

I guess it is possible..

"Of course it is. But how are you talking and not moving your mouth?" I asked curiously.

"Is that something vampires can do?" I said lowering my voice. She shook her head.

What am I saying right now?

"What am I saying right now." I said answering her.

Ummm, how do you spell something that rhymes with ilk?

"M – I – L – K." I said.

She can read minds!!

"I cannot read minds." I said shaking my head.

First Stage of getting a gift: In denial.

"I am not in denial!!" I shouted.

Second stage: Being in denial about being in denial.

I growled at her and she smiled.

Third Stage: Being angry and pissed.

I growled again and she just smiled again.

"Hmmph!" I grunted.

Here it comes…

"Why do you hate me!!!" I shouted at her.

Fourth Stage: Blaming people for her gifts.

"Why? Your so mean! I'm not blaming people." I said quickly.

"Wait – I have a power!! That's so cool!" I shouted.

Fifth and final stage: Being nice and realizing how cool it is to have powers…pssh. Wait, what's your name again?

"Oh my real name is Isabella Swan, but people call me Mary Kay, Bella, or Mary." I said smiling at her.

"Cool." She said aloud. We quickly got to an area where there were trees, leaves and land.

"What are we doing?" I asked curiously. We had taken a back way type thing to avoid humans.

"Were hunting." She said in a matter of fact tone.

"Where are the humans?" I asked sniffing for a scent.

"There are hiker's up north." She said.

"Where?" I asked smelling the most mouthwatering scent ever. I smelt them now.

"Let's go." I asked.

"Yes. Let's." She whispered. I nodded and she followed me. After we were done we decided to just sit down in the clearing and talk. She had straight orange hair and a gray tank top on. She had cute skinny black jeans on and black converse. Her hair was so straight it was weird. Than I noticed a girl. She had beautiful chestnut hair and blue eyes. They looked sad and lonely. She stared at me and than Kimmy.

"Hello." I said standing up and smiling at her. She gasped and her small hand flew to her mouth.

"You…can…see…me?" she asked me.

"Why wouldn't I be able to?" I asked her.

"What?" Kimmy asked.

"I'm talking to…"

"My name's Robyn." She whispered. I nodded.

"Robyn." I said.

"Whose Robyn?" she asked glancing around.

"Her." I said pointing to the rock where the girl, Robyn was sitting.

"There's no one there." She stated.

"Yes there is. The girl with pretty brown hair and blue eyes." I said pointing to the rock again where she sat.

"So why wouldn't I be able to see you?" I asked her.

"Because I'm dead." She whispered. I gasped.

"Okay, nice one." I said chuckling.

"Nice what?" Kimmy asked.

"Hold on." I told Kimmy talking to Robyn again.

"Wait, your serious?" I asked her as she didn't laugh. She nodded.

"Prove it." I said coldly.

"Prove what?" Kimmy asked.

"Hold on!" I shouted at her. Suddenly Robyn vanished, and reappeared right in front of me. I jumped, frightened.

"Is that enough proof?" she whispered. I nodded and Kimmy shook her head at me.

"What's going on?" she asked me.

"Oh nothing." I said staring at her.

"Wait why can't she see you?" I asked Robyn.

"Because only you can see me. You need to help me." she whimpered.

"How can I help you?" I asked her.

"Your are the most powerful vampire in the history. You have every power, but your most heightened powers are mind reading, seeing and helping the dead, and stopping and freezing time, changing the future and time traveling." She whispered quickly.

"Oh." I squeaked out. She touched my shoulder quietly and whispered.

"Do you remember the night in 1943?" she asked me. I nodded, not caring how Robyn knew about that; The ghost.

"Well that girl wasn't really there. Take me with you to travel back." She whispered. I nodded and concentrated hard. Weirdly I saw a replay of what really happened near that white fence. I gasped.

"You mean I was –.."

"You were raped." She finished for me. I gasped tears running down my face.

"How am I crying?" I asked.

"Hybrid." She murmured.

"What?"

"Hybrid, you're a half human, half vampire." She whispered.

"Why aren't my eyes brown then?" I asked remembering my other color.

"Because your powerful." She said matter-of-factly. This was so overwhelming! To much to take in at once. I gasped as the man bit me and ran away.

"Why did I see the girl then?" I asked.

"He has the power to change his appearance for certain people. If someone were to walk by, he'd be him. Not her." She said quietly.

"Why am I seeing people?" I asked gesturing towards her.

"You mean ghosts? Because we need your help. When you were changed your power to sense eeriness became more powerful by actually, seeing, feeling, and hearing ghosts." She said softly.

"How do you know him?" I gestured towards the man straddled on me.

"He's Thomas. He was my ex-fiancé." She whispered.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I quickly hugged Robyn. She nodded quietly.

"Wait! What about the girl that looks just like the one that I saw when I was underground." I said. At first she looked confused and then she looked amused.

"Oh! At the subway." She chuckled.

"That was Bernese, she was the girl he pretended to be." She said quickly.

"Wait – how do you know all the vampires?" I asked quickly again.

"Oh – that's because I hang around them 24/7 listening to all their conversations." She chuckled again.

"Oh." I whispered.

"Let's get back to present time, shall we?" she asked me quietly. I nodded and Robyn looped her arm through mine. I quickly concentrated and opened my eyes. Faith and Kimmy were hovered over me.

"She opened her eyes." Kimmy said to Dean, motioning for him to come over. We were still in the clearing and it was only them three, besides Robyn who smiled at me. Her chestnut hair was flowing down to her bust line. She waved and started back towards the rock.

"Robyn." I whispered. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Dead. Rape. Murder." I whispered.

"I was raped by Thomas to." She smiled at me.

"So.." I said adding it together.

"I was specially chosen for you to help me." she smiled again. She was awfully cheerful for someone who was raped and murdered.

"Thomas murdered you to?" I asked her curiously.

"Yes." She said smiling again.

"Who is she talking to?" Kimmy asked.

"Not sure." Dean murmured. Fayth stared at us while I chatted some more with Robyn. Finally I got up and walked over to the flower bed. I picked a purple flower quickly and decided to test this power. She said I had any power. I quickly pumped my fist in the air and concentrated on rain. It quickly started raining, hard. I quickly made it sunny and moved my hand above the flower, making tiny gestures. I quickly spread out my fist and the flower grew quickly, full in bloom. I smiled at my powers and Robyn clapped.

"What's she doing?" Kimmy whispered again.

"I don't know." Fayth smiled at me though.

"Robyn how old are you again?" I asked her.

"You mean how old was I?" she asked me. I nodded.

"Twenty-three." She said.

"I was eighteen, we can still be friends right? Even though your about five years older?" I asked her. She nodded quietly and I brought the flower over to her. Her face lit up as she inhaled the beautiful flower.

"Thank you." She whispered. I nodded and walked back over to Fayth, Dean and Kimmy.

"Kimmy has told us your name is Isabella Swan, but people call you Mary Kay, Bella, or Mary." Fayth smiled. I nodded quickly and ran a hand through my soft, straight black hair.

"Your hair is so shiny." Kimmy commented. I nodded as we walked back to the subway. Suddenly Robyn appeared in front of me. I jumped back quickly and let out a yelp.

"Sorry." She said giving me a half smile.

"It's fine." I murmured chuckling. She smiled with me as we walked. All the vampires were still there, staring. Fayth made everyone sit down, cross legged on the cold floor of the subway.

"Please, please. Sit." She commanded. We all sat and she quickly stood up, talking.

"As you all know, Isabella Swan is here today." She said smiling brightly. They all nodded and smiled in agreement or glanced at me with a half smile.

"Anyway, it has been confirmed she is the prodigy." She said. What?

"Prodigy?" I coughed out.

"Prodigy." She confirmed.

"You are the one we have been waiting for. We are VS." she said.

"VS?" I asked.

"Vampire Society." She said quickly.

"Were associated with the Volturi, and Crystal is our leader." She said when a pale girl with white hair stood up. Not the old silver locks you'd see on older people, literally white hair like Lady GaGa. Whose Lady GaGa? I'm going crazy.

"As you know Isabella, the prodigy has every power." She said quickly giving me a 4000 watt smile. I should ask her about the dead thing. I was just about to ask when Robyn appeared in front of me and whispered,

"No. Don't tell her." She whispered quietly. I nodded and quickly shut up. How about a more simpler question.

"Why are the Head Quarter's in a subway?" I asked quickly.

"Oh this is the VS/Volturi subway." She said quickly.

"Let us go back to the castle." She said quickly as we all walked into the subway. In a matter of minutes we were at the castle in a matter of minutes. Fayth smiled at us as we all got off. I glanced at my short dress and realized it was a tube top. Fayth quickly smiled at me again and I realized they all had purple and silver tattoos on their left shoulder. It was in the symbol of a compass, but then quickly had different letters and numbers. It was confusing. I quickly looked away and noticed I had one to. I gasped as mine was red, black, and silver instead of purple and silver. I quickly entered the castle and avoided Aro, Caicus, and Marcus. Who was Aro, Caicus and Marcus? Must be that wired brain thing again. I quickly ran down the halls and bumped into Fayth.

"Going somewhere?" she asked In a sickly sweet tone.

"Um no." I whispered and chuckled.

"Oh. Are you looking for your room?" she asked me curiously. I nodded quickly and she smiled.

"You are room 798." She said and I quickly concentrated on my room. I was there. Teleportation!

"Hey Bella!" I jumped. I turned around and saw Robyn.

"Whoa Robyn, your creeping me out." I laughed. She smiled and scanned my room.

"Nice room. Do you know who your sharing it with?" she asked me. I shook my head.

"Me!" she said smiling.

"What?"

"Prodigy's have their own rooms, but since they don't know I'll be your roommate!" she said happily. I chuckled and she walked over to the bed.

"What year did you die?" I asked her.

"This year." She chuckled. I smiled with her and quickly more questions formed.

"Thomas is still alive?" I asked her.

"Thomas is a vampire. Vampires never, ever, ever, age." She said playing with a cherry she found in the kitchen area. Even though we didn't eat, we had humans over sometimes. I chuckled when she placed the cherry on top of her nose. She smiled at me and brushed her hair absentmindedly.

"I thought ghosts were transparent." I said quietly.

"Nope. Myth, myth, myth." She chuckled.

"I thought ghosts couldn't touch stuff." I said sipping blood from a cup.

"Myth.. again." She chuckled playing with the cherry once again. I laughed with her and Kimmy barged in. Robyn quickly vanished out of surprise and Kimmy stared at the hair brush and cherry next to each other.

"What's this?" she asked pointing towards the little group.

"What's what?" I asked her, playing dumb.

"The cherry and hairbrush. What's it doing here?" she asked again looking at me.

"Ummm, I think it was there when I got here." I said slowly. Smooth Bella, just smooth. Or Mary..

"Oh. Okay." She said hesitant to leave.

"Well I just wanted to let you know the ball is tonight. Where all the vampires come to meet the Volturi. It's held once a year. Our prodigy arrived just in time." She chuckled leaving. I smiled and Robyn poofed back exactly where she was before, playing with the hair brush and cherry.

"You know your sort of immature for a twenty-three year old." I chuckled brushing my hair.

"That's what they say." She huffed. I laughed and she played with her chestnut hair. I sat in front of my vanity and scanned myself. The cut did go away. I traced where it was and flinched. I heard a loud knock at my door.

"Princess Isabella!" she shouted. Princess?

"Yes?" I asked.

"Princess! It's me, Fayth." She said quickly. Oh. I let her in and she smiled.

"This is Marianne, and her assistant Stacy." She said as two girls walked in. One older than the other.

"They will help you pick out an outfit, and do your hair and makeup." She said quickly. I nodded and Marianne smiled at me.

"Let's put your dress on first." Stacy smiled. I had a huge dress on that made me feel gorgeous. It was strapless and white in the top part and a light pink from the waist down. It flowed beautifully and I had white pumps to go with it.

"Okay dear, you all powers. So I'd like you to imagine yourself with light brown hair." She whispered to me. I nodded and know I had brown hair. She quickly combed it and told me to imagine I had my hair up in a comb of curls. I did. I had a little crown on and a gorgeous necklace. My earrings were absolutely dashing and my whole body looked beautiful. (dress on profile) While they applied my make up I suddenly remembered their entrance.

"Why did Fayth call me a princess?" I asked her.

"Oh my lady! They didn't tell you!" she sounded outraged.

"No." I choked out.

"You are princess of Volterra. Volturi's highest point! Higher than the ancients!" She said matter-of-factly.

"Oh!" I shouted turning around. My collar bone shivered at the necklace's cold touch and I smiled. I did look beautiful. I was a princess, a prodigy, a hybrid! Oh my. I quickly made my way out the door with Robyn by my side. Robyn had on a pretty blue dress to, it was strapless and had royal blue sleeves with intricate designs that were golden flowing on the bottom and the sides. We. Truly. Looked. Beautiful.
