Authors note: Sorry it took so long to update. I've been switching to my new job, been taking care of the family, and trying to finish up my old job. They called me and told me they didn't need me to work, so I'm going to write a bit instead. Thanks for all the reviews! Please, keep it up Here you go!
Jane led me back through the halls, and when we got to a door with a dark black and red ribbon tied around the door knob. Jane opened the door, and looked up at me, and smiled. I walked in ahead of her, and saw a beautiful room. It had a deep coal colored carpet, and a smudged black paint on the walls. It didn't look as gloomy as it sounds; the smudge paired with the coal was beautiful.
"This is my room. Well, I mean, our room. Your room is being modeled like this one at the present time, but if you don't like this, we can get them to change it…" She said. How could such a terrifying, young vampire seem so, unsure of me? She could kill me, enjoy my blood, and walk away in sheer minutes, yet she acted as if I was about to explode at her.
"No," I said, turning towards the room and walking around a bit. "I love this. Are you sure you don't mind sharing a room with a…" I trailed off, trying to get my point across.
"I have discussed this with the family and have thought to myself, and I have, let's say, reevaluated how I feel towards you…humans in general." She said. "Aro thinks it will be good for me to learn you, and for you to see how wonderful Vulterra is." She said. She then took my hand, and I didn't jump back when I felt the freezing temperature of her palm. She smiled.
"And Aro thinks we both could use a friend."
As Jane showed me the room, which had two queen sized beds, a bathroom with a large claw footed tub, and a nook, which was about twice the size of my bed room at home, filled with books and window seats and chairs, where we could laze around and read or play games or even watch TV. I began to forget I was a captive…
Jane and I soon became restless, mostly because I was hungry, and she wanted to show off her new found hobby, taking care of me, to everyone in the castle. I looked down at my tattered jeans and My Chemical Romance shirt I'd had since I was 13, and felt very, very self conscious. I looked at Jane, in her leggings and short black tee-shirt material dress, and felt like a lost mutt following around the president's poodle. She looked at me, and motioned at me to follow her over to the wardrobe. Within minutes, my hair was pulled outta my face with small black bows, and I was wearing an outfit identical to Jane's, except she wore a pair of Mary Jane shoes, and I wore ridiculous high heels. I didn't recognize the creature in the mirror. I felt, well, new. Jane smiled back at my smiling reflection.
"Aro first thought to make you a secretary, or a gatherer, but instead, I wanted you for a sister. Have you thought about our, well, offer?" She put on a bit of a worried look, and even though I barely knew her, I knew I couldn't say no.
"I'm still thinking on it." I said with a smile.
"She has some time to decide Jane. Aro thinks she will be the most amazing creature on earth, and he won't throw that away because she hadn't chosen by night fall." Said a voice I hadn't heard yet. I turned to see Caius, The angry blonde one. He forced a smile in my direction, and nodded his head in my direction. He stepped into the room, and perched on the window seat near where Jane and I had been laying on the floor, reading magazines. We went and sat on the chairs near him, and prepared ourselves to listen.
"A banquet has been planned in order to welcome in Mrs. Nichole." He said a smile in his voice. Jane's eyes widened.
"Caius, how…"
"Dear Jane," Caius said, tipping his head towards her slightly. "Aro has made it clear that we are to attend, and eat of that which we have put away for occasions like this. We will simply have, to be frank, a liquid meal, while Nichole here shall have whatever she likes for her meal." How did they expect me to eat, knowing that they were drinking human blood! It may have even belonged to the tourists I got herded in with. Caius looked at me and must have noticed my distress.
"No, no, Dear Nichole, we will not be feasting upon your friend's blood. We shall be trying a vegetarian meal tonight. Aro thought we could all use the excuse of you being here to test our will power." Jane made a sour face. Caius looked at her and smiled.
"Oh, and another reason we are doing it tonight is because the Cullen's are coming for a visit in the near future, and Aro wants us to be able to show them we can contain ourselves." Jane sucked in a breath, and instead of screaming like I thought she would, she giggled.
"Reneesme!!" She bounced up and down, and then noticed Caius and me watching her, and she calmed down. Caius gave hardy laugh, and I knew everything was going to be ok. Jane stood, and took my hand, and we went to prepare for their dinner party.
Sorry if this isn't very entertaining. I had to give some filler, but I'll probably post another chapter tonight, and If not, I'm not sure when.
I hope you liked it, please review, and give me some ideas. I know where it is going, but I need some filling before it gets to that.
Sorry about me changing the characters preferences, but I like to think the Volturi have hearts. Maybe that should be the title….
Anyways, please Review! It takes vertically no time!
And I promise to respond!
