Chapter 2 True colours

I stand there shocked for a moment "What do you mean, I don't have a choice?" Felix's eyebrows furrow, as if what hes going to say is painfully obvious. "Lucia, if you don't feed you'll grow weak, and starve. Newborns need to feed right after they wake up from the transformation." I start to shake. "But I don't want to kill anyone!" I cry. Felix's expression softens, but only slightly, Its foolish to expect sympathy from this towering stranger. "Sorry Lucia, like I said we don't have much of a choice." Felix grabs my hand and with a tug, starts leading me down the hallway. The halls are made of stone and have an almost medieval feel about them. Its ironic that vampires choose to fall into the clichés of dark dreary castles. I chuckle and Felix eyes me curiously, but doesn't say anything. Felix lets go of my hand to open a large ornate door. Its made of beautiful dark wood, with intricate carvings inlaid with gold. "This is the Turret room. This is where we feed." Felix says nonchalantly. Almost as if he was commenting on the colour of my eyes, and not the murder of innocents. I shudder lightly. How many lives had ended behind these beautiful doors, I ponder as we walk into the large room filled with vampires wearing dark cloaks. I immediately feel the need to flee from the prospective danger these cloaks represent, but Felix's grip on my hand makes that option impossible. The room is completely round and light filters in through a skylight in the domed ceiling. At the end of the room is a marble platform with three thrones on it. And I see that each of the thrones holds a occupant. Aro sat in the middle looking pleased with himself, the one on the right looked angry, while the other looked completely bored. "Ah, welcome Lucia! So glad you could join us!" I keep my face expressionless. Clearly Aro expected more enthusiasm, because he purses his lips slightly, but continues. "Lucia, theses are my brothers, Marcus." He gestures to the bored looking vampire. "And Caius." He gestures to the glaring vampire. "We are the rulers, and as a guard member you are to refer to us as master." I hated the idea of calling any of them master, and who said I was going to join their guard? But what option did I have? "Yes master" I say without emotion. The sound of uneven footsteps and heartbeats permeates the air. "Ah Heidi, has arrived." As he speaks the first humans enter the room, chatting amongst themselves, led by a vampire wearing fishnets and sporting violet eyes that would result from wearing blue contacts over red eyes. I assume her to be Heidi "Welcome guests! Welcome to Volterra!" Aro thunders, and the door slides shut, sealing the humans fates. The Vampires quickly converge on the humans. Screams and the smell of blood permeate the air, ripping my throat into flames. I stop breathing and hold perfectly still. I refused to take someone life. I refuse to be like the monsters around me, gleefully slaughtering innocent lives. Finally, after what seems like hours, the screams stop and the vampires methodically pick up their victims, and unceremoniously toss them into something resembling a vault. Before gracefully leaving the room. Aro is walking back to his throne when he spots me. He stops mid stride and his eyes widen in shock. Marcus and Caius notice Aro's hesitation and look to what grabbed his attention. When the spot me Caius eyes widen for a moment, before dissolving into a frown. While Marcus seems only slightly more interested then before. Aro walks over "Lucia, how did you control your blood lust. In all my years I have never seen a newborn restrain themselves as you have in the presence of blood." Aro says in awe. I'm agitated with his words. So I was a freak simply because I didn't feel like massacring some humans? I stifle a snort. "I simply didn't want to kill anyone." I say in my patented emotionless voice. Caius glares at me. "This is the only way for our kind. You kill or be killed." He declares coldly. Marcus raises an eyebrow but says nothing. "There is no need to be harsh Caius. She confounds us all." Aro says animatedly before he turns to me. "Well Lucia, it would appear there is no one left for you to feed upon. So you'll have to make due on bagged blood for now." I grimace, and Aro laughs. "I know it doesn't sound appealing, but you really won't know the difference." He smiles. "I'll have someone deliver it to your room." I nod meekly "Thank you master." I mumble, before I turn and head back to my room.

Two months later.

I'm standing on my balcony, gazing at the crescent moon, my dark grey cloak fluttering lightly in the breeze. I've been with the Volturi for two months now, and it was absolute hell. I was forced to drink human blood. If I refused, which was always, they would pin me down, and force the blood down my throat. If that wasn't bad enough, I was never allowed to leave the castle. I sigh. The only time I was ever outside was when I was on my balcony, and that doesn't really count. I frown. Aro forbid me from leaving ever since I tried to escape Volterra. It was the second day I was here, and they tried to make me drink from a human. I ran through two walls before they caught me. I was punished severely for that offence My finger unconscionably traces the scar that runs around my shoulder. Footsteps pass my door and I flex my shield. But the footsteps continue past, and I relax. In the time I had been here, I had grown an understanding for my powers. My main power was a shield that could deflect mental attacks, and physical attacks if I focused since it was a bit more difficult. Though as far as the Volturi knew, I was only a mental shield. The Volturi also didn't know about my ability to copy others powers. I smile darkly. If the Volturi knew that, they would more or less chain me to the floor, even if that was possible. I learned that if I extended my shield over a person with an ability, I could copy their power. I could also absorb a power if it was used on me, or I touched a person with an ability. I now had more powers than I could count. I had all the Volturi's powers plus all the powers of vampires who had passed through Volterra. I sigh even without the Volturi Knowing of my other powers, they still considered me one of their most valuable assets, hence my dark shade of cloak. I look back up at the sky and made a split second decision. I'm getting out of here. I run to my closet for the backpack I had ready. I had been planing my escape for some time, so It held everything I needed, a passport, a few thousand dollars I pilfered from the rest of the guard, and a few changes of clothes. I grab the bag and throw my cloak onto my bed, I wont need that any more, I think with a smile. I had waited patiently for the appropriate powers to make my escape, and now I finally had them. I put on the bag, turn myself invisible, and hide my sent. I slowly to my balcony, and for some reason Romeo and Juliet comes to mind as I jump down to the ground, only I wasn't going to wait on my balcony hoping for the off chance a "Romeo" might come along and save me from the monsters clutches. I think as I run towards the ocean. I never look back at the only "home" I remembered, if you could call that "hall of horrors" a home. When I reach a cliff overlooking the ocean, I pause, and as I look down into the ocean swells I whisper the only parting words that come to mind. "So long Italy." With that I dive into the ocean. Once in the water I shoot off in the direction of the USA. I choose the U.S. mainly because I only knew how to speak English, I was too wrapped up playing piano to learn any languages. And because I figured Aro would look for me in Europe first. Even though I had exceptional control, Aro still seemed convinced I had the judgement of a newborn. So he would look in the most obvious areas first. I swim for about two hours before I reach what I figured was the coast of Virginia. It was still night so I pull myself ashore, and start running north/west, towards Alaska. For a while the sun is rising behind me but after a while its lowering in front of me. Its so cool to watch time change. I'm felling slightly weak once I reach Washington, so I decide to stop and try hunting animals. When I used Aro's talent on himself, I saw in his mind it was possible to hunt animals. It was one of the few things I managed to find out from his thoughts, before they started to dissipate. I figured out that was why Aro would maintain contact for so long. A vampires thoughts were a lot to sort through. I scent the air and smell a heard of Elk near a river, and I take off in their direction. I pause in the trees scoping out my target, zero in on the largest buck, and pounce. Mid air someone slams into me we fall to the ground and start snarling. The vampire who slammed into me is a large male with huge muscles. But suddenly he stops snarling and looks at me with shock on his face. "Bella?"
