I Would Never Forget You

Chapter Two

The Volturi

Maria's POV

"I finished wiping his memories." Gabriel said coming up behind me. I glanced down at Jasper's lifeless form, laying on the bed.

"Good, when will he wake?"

"In a few minutes." Gabriel answered curtly before leaving the room. I don't know how this would have worked without Gabriel. His ability to erase memories from humans and vampires alike was very helpful.

Jasper stirred, coming out of his unconscious state. He blinked before jumping off the bed and leaning into a defensive pose, a low growl emitted from his throat. "Jasper." I said, walking towards him slowly. A flash of recognition passed on his face, before he stood up.

"Maria. What happened?" He asked walking over to me.

"Oh Jasper!" I said throwing myself into his arms. "They found us. The Volturi found us in Mexico" I said. He looked confused for a second. "I… I don't remember anything." I shook my head sympathetically.

"They have a member of the guard who can erase memories! I was worried you wouldn't even remember me!" I played my part well.

The sound of footsteps silenced our conversation and the door swung open. Jasper pushed me behind him and growled at Aro as he entered the room, flanked by Alec and Jane. I peered at Aro from under Jasper's arm, hoping he would stick to his part of the bargain.

"Jasper Whitlock."

The room became still. All eyes turned to me. Aro approached me with his hand held out as if he wished to shake my hand. I slowly extended my hand and he grasped it firmly in his own. For what seemed like eternity, he held on to my hand with his eyes closed. Eventually he opened his eyes and smiled at me. "Your mind is quite interesting." He said.

He turned to Marcus and Cauis. "Maria has a way to deliver one of the Cullens to us. Alice's mate Jasper. He has the ability to manipulate emotions." Marcus and Cauis became interested at that. Aro turned back to me. "You bring Jasper here, you may be sparred."

"Jasper!" Aro said warmly, spreading his arms wide. "How are you feeling?"

"I am fine, thank you." Jasper answered coldly.

"Wonderful! Now tell me what is the last thing you remember?"

Jasper thought for a moment before replying. "Training the newborns to prepare to take Mexico City." Gabriel succeeded in erasing all of Jasper's memories after the point when I first tried for Mexico City.

Aro's smile widened, realizing that the plan was successful. "Now I have a proposition of both of you. The two of you are extremely talented, and the Volturi are interested in you joining. So, if you agree to join us you may live." I quickly made myself look scared and ducked back behind Jasper. He glanced once at me and back at Aro.

"Okay, we will join you Aro."

"Perfect!" Aro said clapping his hands together. "Come we will be feeding soon." He left the room, Jane and Alec trailing behind him.

"Thank you." I said trailing my finger along Jasper's face, then leaned up and pressed my lips to his. I deepened the kiss, and hoped his little mate was seeing this.

"Come on its time to feed!" I said, gripping Jasper's hand in mine, and leading him down the corridor to the Volturi's throne room.

We entered the room, just as Heidi entered, a group of tourists trailing behind her. "Welcome all!" Aro said as the doors closed and locked behind them. Jasper looked apprehensively at the humans. They began screaming as vampires attacked from all sides. "Come on Jasper." I said impatiently the smell of blood was making it hard for me to concentrate on him.

"I…I can't." Jasper said, holding his breath, his eyes darting around, trying to find an exit.

"Why not?" I said, inching closer to the pulsing blood.

"I…I don't know." He said, sounding panicked. The rush of so many panicked and terrified emotions must have been hitting him like a tidal wave. Not to mention the emotions of the thirsty vampires.

Suddenly, one terrified human got to close to him, and his instincts took over. He flew at her and I left him to find one for myself. Though, I was a little worried that some instincts he learned from his new coven where coming through.
