A/N: Hi everyone! Thanks sooo much for the reviews I got for the first chapter. Here is the second chapter for this story. Hope you enjoy it!
Alessandra POV:
I just love messing with Felix. He is so temperamental like me, but more. He blows up at the tiniest thinks, like a scratch on the fine Italian granite floors, or a dent in the marble pillars. The one thing he enjoys the most is aggravating me people and eating the tourists who are on the tour around the Volturi Castle. It is sickening.
When Isabella and I first came here, we were disgusted at what they did. We just stick to animal blood. But one day, Caius gave Bella HUMAN blood by mistake and she drank some HUMAN blood. She was disgusted more with herself than she was with Caius. After that incident, she vowed that she would never drink human blood again. But that didn't stop her eyes turning amber, and STAYING amber. They have stayed amber for 97 years now, and we have been vampires for 99 years. We are permanently stuck at the ages of 18 and 19. After all our years, we have never craved human blood.
Getting back to the point, Felix and I were fighting AGAIN because Felix always gets off with everything bad he does. So far he has murdered an innocent child, created an immortal child and assault. Does Aro do anything about this? No. That's what made me shout at him.
Of course, Aro swoops in to save the day, telling us that if we wanted to carry on our conversation, then we would have to do it later, because we had a visitor who was just outside the door. Looking outside I saw a Greek God staring at the three of us.
He had the purest honey golden eyes I had ever seen, and pale blonde hair that was combed back neatly. He stood at about 6'2 and wore a brown colored suit with gold buttons on the jacket. He looked phenomenal.
Before anyone had said anything, I broke the silence by saying,
''It has been a pleasure meeting you.'' I heard a sharp intake of breath as I whirled around and stormed down the corridor.
As I turned the corner, I heard a chuckle form Aro as I heard another gasp. As soon as I thought I was out of sight, I ran down the corridor and started to head towards my room. Along the way, I thought about whom the new guy was, I needed to see my sister Bella. Fast.
When I finally came out of my blind rage, I suddenly realized that I was nowhere near my room. It looked like I was in the courtyard. But where I was, I didn't know. Then it hit me. I was in the graveyard part of the courtyard. All of a sudden, I heard a melodic voice behind me.
''Oh my God, dead people? You're hanging around with dead people?'' I turned around to find my sister coming up behind me.
In the process, she managed to trip and stumble over the weeds and air. Even as a vampire, she had no co-ordination.
''Did you get into a fight with Aro and Felix again?'' Bella asked, laughing.
''No… OK fine, I did. It wasn't my fault though. Felix made me mad!'' I replied, glaring playfully.
''Well, I think that the new guy is quite smitten with you.''
''How do you-'' I was cut off by Bella laughing.
''I was there and I saw and heard him gasping.''
''So? Eric and Mike are quite smitten with you too. By the way, they still are.'' I said, winking.
''Alessandra!'' Bella yelled, tackling me to the ground. We started to wrestle with each other and after about minutes, we decided that it was a tie. We aren't really the most lady-like girls you can ever imagine.
''OH!!!! Before I forget, you need to do court duty. In five minutes.'' Bella exclaimed.
''Oh my! You're right! I'd better go. See you later Tinkabella!'' I yelled, sprinting away from her.
**************
When I finally got to the court, I straightened out my skirt and headed inside. Luckily for me, everyone was just getting settled. After everyone had settled down, the great oak doors opened and the new guy came in, along with Aro, Marcus and Caius. They took their places in their thrones and motioned for the new guy and me to come behind the thrones.
Our courts are very different from the humans' version of court. We too have the jury and stuff, but we also do test and demonstrations of what might have happened. The jury decides whether the accused was guilty or innocent. But instead of a jail sentence, we have the death sentence. But to try and stop the accused from, dying, we have the defense, which is what half of us does, including me, and we have to fight against the prosecutors who try to get the accused killed.
On the rare occasion the prosecution wins, but usually we, the defense, win. But on this particular case, the defense lost. The vampire who was accused had to die a slow and painful death. During the time that he was being killed, I looked away. In that time, I noticed that the new guy was a pacifist because he never drew his attention away from the pillar that stood next to him, and every time the accused screamed his lungs and heart out, his muscular body grew rigid and stiff.
When it was all finished, we quickly exited the court. Finally getting out, I took a deep breath in. I heard a deep sigh and I turned my head slightly to see the new guy leaning against the wall, pinching the bridge of his nose tightly.
''You OK?'' I asked, walking towards him.
''Yeah. I just don't really like watching that sort of thing.'' He replied, looking towards me.
''I never did actually get your name.''
''I'm Carlisle, and are you Alessandra or Bella?''
''Alessandra,'' I laughed, ''you had better get used to the stuff that goes on in the court when it does happen. You will have to do it for another 16 years. By the way I hope you will forgive me for my behavior earlier on.''
''My God,'' Carlisle closed his golden eyes in anguish, ''and of course I forgive you. We all get mad sometimes.'' I patted his back consolingly. I felt him stiffen underneath my touch. Then I walked away, and I swear I could feel his honey golden eyes on my back as I turned the corner.
