We all wish we had another life, maybe from a book or a movie. But when your really there, you start to realize there's a reason why it was just a wish and thankfully not reality.

Chapter 2

The halls were lit by modern-day wall lighting. Seems the Volturi were keeping well intact with today's society. Apart from the old paintings hung up on the walls, everything seemed less...scary than I thought it would. Nonetheless, confusion and fear still lingered as the supposed dream kept dragging on and on.

It's not everyday or night you dream something this realistic, and about New Moon, so enjoy! Regardless of trying to convince myself to relax, Heidi kept eyeing me and this feeling of too much realism had a tug on my mind.

The Halls seemed endless, painting after painting, heart beat after heart beat, too much was going on in my mind to take note of the art work, too much trying to not freak and play it all out. Too much to notice everyone's slight disturbance as we neared two large stone doors.

I looked around to the sudden loss of movement. Heidi moved forward to a wooden desk rounded to the corner of the hallway. Behind the desk... Giana.

This is it. The doors are going to open and...

The doors flung open, and three very familiar faces came out. I sucked in a deep breath, feeling the blood rush to my face as I let out the breath in a loud squeak, all heads in the room turning towards my shocked figure.

"Edward, Bella, Alice, Oh my gosh, its you, it is you, maybe I can get used to this dream after all!" In all the hurry and rush to get every word out as quickly as possible, I started mumbling words about New Moon and Stephanie Meyers perfect description of their characters.

Edward whispered something in Alice's ear who then grabbed Bella close by, as if I were to harm her in some context. Bella looked more afraid of me than the fact we were in Volterra castle.

Time stood still for which felt like moments on end, the tour group becoming a little restless at the disruption, yet still slightly weary to say anything.

My gaze drifted to the floor, all the excitement gone.
Back to square one, this isn't right at all, shouldn't I be able to control whats happening in a dream?

"The tour has been cut short, we will send out another one within the hour." A voice shouted out over the starring human figures in front of me. Two hands grabbed my shoulders, squeezing down hard and pushing me towards the front of the tour group. I took in a pained breath as the hands dug in deep, Edward, Bella and Alice silently stepping in front of me to walk into the next room. A bang sounded behind, the doors closing and leaving silence in its wake. Horror filled me as I knew where I was, what was in store.

Great.

The Hands on my shoulders let go. And finally I turned and looked around. Behind me a tall, very muscular man stood with his short, cropped dark brown hair and black orbs glaring down at me, a frown displayed on his sharp features. Felix. Behind him standing just in front of the large stone doors stood an inch smaller man, shoulder length dark brown hair, average in size but a still very strong complexion. Demetri.

My heart beat sped up, this feeling, it was unrecognizable. Pure horror? Wonder? Excitement? Confusion? Realization that waking up will probably never happen? I was here, this was it, I fell down the rabbit hole because I wanted more, never truly satisfied with a life where I had everything. Always more. And like Alice, finding a way back couldn't be harder, especially when you're in front of..."The Volturi."

"She even seems to know who we are." I turned around, Edward, Alice and Bella now standing to my left, eyes dead on the three ruthless Vampire kings. Oh Stephanie Meyer did not do them justice. Marcus sat on the far left, a bored expression yet a slight sparkle in his eyes, was this amusing to him? His hand was rested on his chin and his elbow on his chair. His black hair falling just past his shoulders. To the far right, Caius, now walking down the marble steps towards us. A hard, angry expression lurking on his face, eyes black as the nights sky and as sharp as a blade. His straight hair falling just past his shoulder blades, was as white as his skin.

"Well do you deny it mortal!? It is quite obvious by your little outburst you know more than you should!" Caius was frightening, his faced was sturdy but his eyes dug into your soul threatening to wrench it out.

"Hmmm, this is indeed a rather interesting day, If I may say so myself." The third most powerful Volturi ruler slowly glided to where Caius stood, three meters from where I was standing. He was elegant in every way you could imagine. His thick raven hair was long and just below the elbow. He looked no older than his late twenties and had a well-defined build to prove it. He stood with such grace, hands resting within one another and his head ever so slightly tilted to the right. His dark eyes were examining me from head to toe, with no more than a curious presence swimming within them.

My legs ready to give way.

"Do you not find it strange brother, that the moment the Cullen boy turns up, two mortals now know of our existence? Surely you have taken it into consideration. This is madness!"

"Now now Caius, we do not know the entire story apparently. Dear Edward does not know of this child, I have seen it in his memories. But that does not include Isabella, for I can not see anything within her mind." Aro glided and closed the distance between us. "So who are you, mia cara?" His hands reached down and wrapped themselves around my own, a shock rippled from the tips of my fingers spreading through out my body like a jolt of electricity. Huh? His eyes locked onto mine. They were black, he was hungry and I would have been his meal if it weren't for my little outburst in the hall.

The corners of his mouth twitched and stretched into a small smile. His face softened and his eyes disconnected from my own. He turned and glided over to where Marcus now stood, his hand resting on his shoulder.

"I see why you are so interested in her brother, its been a while since you have involved yourself as such." Aro's voice was high enough for myself to understand. His mouth started moving fast and I realized he was talking so that the vampires in the room could hear, but too low for the humans to make out.

Alice, Edward and Bella slowly made their way out of the throne room accompanied by Felix and Demetri. I have never felt so bare, the main characters of the twilight saga were leaving me with the kings and their guard. The large stone doors closed behind them leaving any and all chances of even a slight possibility of me some how staying alive, gone.

Was it something Aro saw? Did he see that I do not belong here, that this place should not even exist? Or maybe that I'm dreaming. Oh no what if it made him angry, is that why he looked at me the way he did?

I tucked my head in my hands, trying to regulate my breathing, and all the thoughts pulsating through my mind.

"Child, we will not hurt you." A soothing voice echoed through my ears. My hands dropped by my sides, and a finger came under my chin lifting my head to meet the eyes of the one vampire, I would never have thought be even the slightest bit interested in anything at all! "Marcus."

"Yes." A small pained smile edged itself onto his face. "May I ask how you know of us child?"

I sucked in a breath, and began explaining what I would never of thought I would be explaining. One of the most craziest stories in the world. BY FAR! If I live, or if I die, If I wake up or if I never do. It doesn't matter.

"I don't understand it myself." My voice came out muffled. I licked my lips and started again.

"I know everything about the Volturi, The Cullens. I've been reading about your lives for years." I looked down at my feet.

"Carry on!" Cauis's voice shouted in the distance, sending a cold chill down my spine.

"You're just words, paragraphs, pages, chapters and books. Characters created by an author. Your not supposed to exist. I've thought about it, that maybe I'm dreaming, but I still haven't woken up, it all feels too real." I looked up into Marcus's calm eyes. What was he thinking?

"I know about Didyme." I saw his face morph into a pained expression. "I'm sorry." Maybe I shouldn't have said that. I looked to my hands and began again.

"You can read relationships. Aro can read every memory and thought you've ever had, just by touching your bare skin. Caius...he doesn't have a power, as far as I know. Ummm... I know that you just talked to Edward about Bella, about how she knows about your kind, and that its forbidden for a human to have such knowledge. You let them go, in the promise that Edward will change her." A slight laugh escaped my lips. Heat rose to my cheeks as I looked up to find Aro at Marcus's side. "I have been in love with your life since the moment I read about it, never actually thought Id be here. Boy have I changed my opinion fast." I rolled my eyes at the last statement.

"Do you expect us to believe such nonsense? Do you take us for fools? A book? Its absurd!" Caius growled and made his way towards me. "The point of the matter here, is that you, a human knows of us. At least you are aware of what happens to humans who know too much!"

"Brother, that's enough!" Aro came in breathing distance of me, slowly picking up my hands and placing them within his own. I flinched from the same electric shock as the one before rippled through out my body. His eyes gazing deeply into my own, as soft as the man standing next to him. "You know mia cara, I can not read your mind, neither could young Edward. Marcus can not see your ties either." He closed his eyes tightly, as if thinking hard on what to say next. "It's as if you, yourself does not exist." He opened his eyes and dropped my hands. "What you have said, is rather extreme. You can not blame some of us for finding it...strange." He took in an unnecessarily deep breath and took a few steps back to stand beside Marcus once again. "If it were any other human, we would not be having this conversation, mio amore."

What? My eyes opened wide. What did he just call me?

"As dear Isabella portrayed, potential gifts. You yourself are portraying them as well. Which is suspicious of course, yet not the reason we are having this conversation." Aro spoke in a careful tone, slowly examining every word before it left his lips.

"Just get on with it already brother, I have had quite enough of all this." Caius snorted and crossed his arms, now standing a few feet away from Aro and Marcus.

"Just because Marcus can not see your ties, does not mean he can not see mine. One specific tie leads to an unfamiliar source, a blank in the room if you must." Aro's eyes looked deeper into my own, examining every blink, every breath, heartbeat and every movement I took. I wanted to turn away, I felt eyes digging into me from every corner of the room. But I cant. I'm stuck, my eyes are stuck on him.

"A strong bond, one that has appeared within the last few minutes of you being here. May I ask your name mio amore?"

There! He said it again! My name? MY NAME? Wait! Whats my name? Oh my gosh!

"I...I..I don't know..my name." I stuttered. Was it the shock effecting my memory some how? Why cant I remember my name? My eyes quickly lowered to the floor, blinking rapidly, trying to take everything in.

I looked up back into the eyes of the man from a book, a man looking at me with such love in his eyes. Suddenly before I knew it, it left my lips.

"Why are you calling me your love?"

Caius pushed past Marcus, now standing too close for comfort and fear of safety. Aro grabbed his shoulder inclining him to not take a step closer.

"Because you're his mate mortal! HIS MATE!"

A Mate, A Twin Flame, a True Love. It's the same thing right? If that person doesn't exist in this world, are they still out there some where, and if they are, could you possibly meet them one day? In another dimension, another world? I believe so, or I did. Some times denial saves the pain till later.
