Chapter 1 – Hysteria

'Bella, we're leaving' Rip.

'My family and myself' Slash.

'My world is not for you' Tear.

'Bella, I don't want you to come with me' Shred.

Training: the only time where I wanted… no that's not right, the only time when I am allowed to think of the night Edward left me. That or when we go to exterminate vampires who are close to exposure.

Let me just update you on a few things that have happened in the past 57 years, since your probably a little bit behind.

*Flash back*

The wind howled as the tree outside my window sashayed back and forth. It's times like this I wished to have a pair of arms wrapped around me; namely the ice cold arms of a one, Edward Cullen.

The fault line in my chest ripped as I thought back to that night, 8 months ag- NO! I had to stop this. Dr. Gerandy was right – this isn't healthy. I try, I try so hard to be normal for Charlie. But I can't. I'm empty. I have nothing to live for. Not anymore.

Thunder boomed outside my window, echoing through the woods behind my house. I plugged my ear phones in as I started to silently cry and switched it to Hysteria by Muse: it seemed fitting for the setting. I sat up in my bed, and clutched the first thing I could reach, which just so happened to be my kitty, Alayla. She peered up at me with her giant emerald eyes as a flash of light, followed by resounding thunder appeared in the sky.

I grabbed her up from my lapped and all but soldered her to my chest – not that she minded. Her white and grey long fur tickled my chin as she purred against me. Charlie had brought her home one day saying something about me needing to have more responsibilities. I fell in love with her instantaneously. My beautiful little kitty.

She bolted upright, staring intently at the window. A pale white hand scratched down the pane, the noise still perceptible even through the loud music. My heart beat quickened, as did my breathing. I detach myself from Alayla, who crawls to the far corner of the bed shaking in fear.

I kiss her forehead before making my way to the window. It was most probably Emmett. Probably thought it would be funny to see if he could deafen me. Har har, very fucking funny.

As I reach the window, I realise the storm had calmed some, enough for me to make out the shapes of 2 long black limos and about 10 figures standing around them. Wait… Limos?!

The second I unlatched the lock I was tackled to the floor, as a giant vampire with red piercing eyes grinned down at me. Well it's not Emmett but defiantly has his mannerisms.

I looked at him for a minute. "Hello" I said calmly.

This confused him. "You do not know what I am?" he asked with a slight Italian accent. It was light and musical, much like the other vampires I knew.

"Of course I do." He stared at me as if I were stupid.

"You are not scared of me?"

I chuckled darkly at him. "At this point I would welcome death. You have a name? or do I just call you my killer?"

He smiled and let me up. I chose to hold onto Alayla. She was positively terrified. I smoothed her fur as he talked "I am Felix. I work for the Volturi. We were informed you knew of our existence, and we have been sent to take you back to Volterra where we can decide what to do with you."

I looked up to him squarely "You will not harm my kitty, be it tease her or eat her." I got up and threw on a baggy black hoodie, grabbed my spotty Darkside™ bag and put into it: my I-pod, my phone, and some cat biscuits to keep Alayla occupied. I wouldn't need anything else.

Looking back to Felix expectantly he chuckled as he picked me up and climbed out the window to the end of my life.

After that, they decided to change me, and I was now unknown princess of the Volturi. Obviously the guards knew, but no other vampire in the world did. I have papa Aro, Uncle Marcus and Uncle Caius completely and utterly wrapped around my little finger, but I don't use to my advantage...much. I love them, though. They're my family. My sisters of sorts are Jane (yes I know, shocker! We get along), Heidi and Reneta. My brothers of course are Felix, Demetri and Alec.

I managed to get Alec, Felix, Heidi and Reneta to all follow my diet of animals. The best thing is I still have Alayla! As soon as I was a vampire I tested out changing animals into vampire animals. It worked, but they were going around like rabid fucking mountain lions, killing the public, so we had to kill them. But with Marcus and Caius on my side I easily made Aro let me change Alayla.

I would never drink human blood, it still disgusts me, but I can handle animals. Plus not only am I Princess of the Volturi, I am the leader of the Assassins of Volterra who can put Emmett to shame with our incredible strength.

Right now I'm in the training room with the rest of the Assassins. My powers are what make me such an asset to the Volturi. I can control all elements, I can shape shift into different animals, I have invisibility and the obvious mental block which can now stop Alice seeing me and Jasper feeling my emotions. I can't control the invisibility. It only turns on when I'm embarrassed, so it's not much use. However I have gained full control of the elemental power and shape shifting.

I can remove my shield too, but choose to keep it up. My powers work with anger and sorrow. The more livid I am, the better my powers work, which is why I am remembering when Edward left me.

I ducked a left hook and fell backward onto my hands, sweeping my legs around to shoot a curve of fire toward my assailant. They cried out in pain, as Aro began to clap.

I stood up chuckling as Craig ran forward to heal the vampire who had tried to punch me. I smiled and jumped into the old vampires arms:

"Papa!" I shouted excited "What are you doing in the training room. Shouldn't you be waiting in the feeding chamber? It's Saturday." I quizzed him. Humans should be served soon. He was close to missing the opportunity of a good meal now that he was down here.

"It is my child, but I must ask you to get into your robes, we have visitors who need protection. They are in danger and I know you would want to protect them. I haven't told them who you are, but you are going to be guarding them for a while."

Confused; "Okay papa. What ever you want?" It came out as more of a question, "It can't be that bad. Who are they papa?"

He hesitated, sizing up my good mood before he told me. "You will do this, no matter who they are? It is your duty after all…" I nodded "it's… the Cullens"

I froze.

BOSH! Oh How Bored I Am
I Wish I Was Back In Sociology
Ahhh. Good Times.
"Ow. My Bread Hurts..."
*Cricket* (Everyone Turns To Kelsey)
"Kelsey...What?"
"Erm...Well I Was Gonna Say Brain But Then I Thought I Should Say Head So I Did But I Said Bread Instead. Sorry -"
"Kelsey?" "Yes Becka?" -Smiles Sweetly- "Shut Up"

Oh I Do I Do I Do Miss That Class.
