Chapter 1:

There was a knock at my door. After centuries of living in the Volturi castle with him, I had gotten to know his scent. Demetri. There was another knock, and this time it was louder; more urgent. I rolled my eyes and sighed. Demetri was so impatient.

"Come in" I called, a hint of annoyance in my voice. The door clicked, and then a head appeared from behind my door.

"Aro has requested to see you in his Throne Room right now." He spoke in a robot-like monotone, though his eyes were sparkling with emotion. I was suspecting that Caius or Marcus were nearby, then, probably in our earshot. Focusing my attention back onto Demetri, I gazed into his sparkling eyes, unaware of anything else around me. At some point, he must have realised I wasn't paying attention, because when I jolted back into reality, he was smirking at me.

"J?" He said, a bemused smile playing on his face. I blinked.

"You alright there?" He questioned, still wearing the bemused expression. I blinked again. Then I took an unnecessary shaky breath in.

"Y-yeah..." I stuttered. I seem to have lost all form of speech. He walked over to me and simply just gently grabbed my wrist, pulling me into a standing position.

"Aro's waiting" Demetri reminded me. I slapped my face, shocking me into my senses. He started walking extremely fast to the Throne Room, dragging me with him. I was stumbling alongside him. Geez, he was fast when he wanted to be. When we reached the doors he paused to face me. He could see the blind panic on my face. I was terrified at the thoughts of which way of torturing me Aro would inflict upon me. Yes. Aro abused us. Well, mainly me. We do heal, though I've not ever really healed emotionally.

"J? You don't need to worry, he's not summoned you for a bad reason"

I relaxed slightly. He grabs my hands. He holds them for a few seconds before giving them a light, careful squeeze. He drops them, and then says,

"Oh, and J? You look rather pretty today"

Then he walks into the Throne Room, me following him, as emotionless as possible. If vampires could blush, I'd be red in the face right now. Was I falling for Demetri?

Hii, thank you so much if you made it to this point! Please leave a review, reviews make me motivated to write more chapters, and the more motivated I am, the better quality stuff I come up with. Thanks :-) Chapter 2 shouldn't be too long a wait, I might release it quicker if you review... *hint hint*

Please leave constructive criticism :-)
