I don't really have anything to say other than..

ENJOY!

I'm... Different?

My breathing quickened suddenly as I woke from a reoccurring nightmare, but this time the ending was different. Usually the ending was me being killed by a faceless and nameless hooded figure. Chanting and mocking my name like It was some kind of joke, coming to a dead end I turn to see them, just standing ready to kill. But this time someone saved me.. I didn't see the face, but the presence and the air about this person was familiar yet new.. I couldn't really put my finger on who it could've been but I have my suspicions.

The sun was well above the city now, it was absolutely beautiful. The ancient building practically glowing in the bright sunlight, the cobble stone streets looked old but clean and the smell of the fresh Italian air felt amazing to my mind, body and soul... Along with my lungs of course.

I strode calming to the bathroom, looking around I see the giant mirror that took up more than half of the vanity wall. Eyeing myself through it I see that I looked like a hot mess, my hair was all knotted and matted, I was also covered in oil and a bit of blood splatter. The newly acquired wound on my neck was dry and crusted over from the old blood that was on it, Jesus I needed a shower. Moving my tired legs towards the shower I turned it on, quickly striped and got into the the nice warm shower. Steam radiated from my body as I washed myself clean, I felt new and refreshed. I reached over and gabbed the shampoo bottle, seeing that it was full and ready for use I squeezed a large mound onto my hand and lathered my hair with it. I did the same with the conditioner and body wash, I saw that there was a razor resting on the shower wall. I smiled for the first time in days now as I shaved my legs and underarms.

After my what seemed like hour shower I stepped out and dried myself off with the thick and plush white towel. I wrapped it around myself and whipped off the mirror, grabbing a brush I slid it through my hair smoothly relishing in the feeling of now being clean after days. I opened the medicine cabinet to find a white tooth brush and tooth paste, I probably brushed for 5 minutes before I felt my mouth was finally cleansed from all of the germs that have festered in there after a day and night of not brushing them.

I opened the bathroom door to see a new face standing in my room. My heart jumped at the sight, not really expecting anyone to be in here. "Umm hi, can I help you?" I said, not really sure what to do in this situation.. Was he supposed to be in here?

"Good morning miss Brianna, I hope your shower was suitable." The man bowed slightly at the waist, giving me a sweet and desirable smile.

"It was, thank you, um may I ask what you're doing in here? I mean did some one send you?" He nodded quickly.

"Yes I am to escort you to the throne room, Master Aro wishes for your presence." My heart jumped at hearing his name, I still don't know whether I should be fearful or excited.

I nodded dumbly and awkwardly looked around the room, he didn't seem to be making his leave and I didn't want to be rude by just telling him to get out. So I just said what I thought was polite.

"Do you think I can have some privacy? I'm still in my towel and I need to change.." I say quietly, he quickly averted his eyes from my face and nodded. Moving in a blur he made his way to the door only to stop and say.

"My name is Demetri if you need any sort of assistance." I smiled and nodded and he left the room, latching the door.

I made my way to the large walk in closet and started searching for clothes to wear. I'm guessing these people wouldn't have even heard about simple leggings and a band T-shirt, those are the only things I'm comfortable wearing.. I guess that's going to have to change I guess. Sorting through various dresses, heels, flats and pieces of jewelry I found a simple navy blue cotton dress with some black flats. Hopefully that'll suffice.

I walk out of the closet and call Demetri back in. I couldn't even blink and he was already there in front of me. "Ready to go Miss Brianna?" I bushed heavily at the name.

"It's just Brianna, you can call me by my name." I say, not wanting any sort of 'special treatment.'

"Master Aro has wished it Miss Brianna, I must follow my orders." He sighed, I nod in understanding.

"Oh ok, I understand.. Wouldn't want to get you in trouble." Demetri smiled and opened his arm towards the door. "Shall we?" I smiled nervously and walked out the door.

We walked down a completely different hallway then what I remembered, everything was much more grand but closed. The hallway seemed more dark but much more art was put on display, I could only imagine at how old these pieces must be. Demetri led us around a corner to where the main throne room door was placed, standing tall and proud. He opened the door in a swift push and led me inside, seeing this place alone with no blood or dead bodies on the ground defiantly changed the whole atmosphere of the room.

The three ancients sat as they were yesterday, looking regal and proud. Aro met eyes with me and smiled brightly, showing off those perfect pristine white teeth. He passed a shaft of light and I could almost swear his skin lit up like millions of diamonds. "Thank you Demetri, that will be all. I will call you if I need you." He waved his hand dismissively as his guard swiftly bowed and blurred out the door, closing it loudly.

"Good morning young Brianna, how are you fairing?" He said sweetly, my heart almost fluttered at his voice. Determined not to let my guard down today I stood straight and tall as I confidently nodded my head in assurance.

"I'm fine thank you." I said, hoping he wouldn't ask me anymore questions. For some reason when ever he opened that annoying yet perfect mouth of his I couldn't help but flush under his speech and sight. He smiled and waved his arm around to acknowledge his two counterparts siting behind him.

"Brianna I would like you to meet my brothers Marcus and Caius, they are co-leaders of he Volturi as well as me." Aro announced, I simply smiled and nodded my head. I really didn't like being in the presence of his frosty brother.. Just remembering what he did to that poor woman, basically teasing me with how he killed and drank from her. A shiver ran down my spine but I tried to conceal it with another smile and nod.

Just smile and nod politely and I won't be killed, right?

I hoped my common sense of non-human creature logic was correct.

The one on the right, Marcus dipped his head lazily in greeting. He didn't say anything though, just turning away from me and returned to staring at the wall. Marcus looked like a nice person on the outside, he looked so sad and distant, I wonder what happened to him.

"I think you deserve to have some answers as to why you are here." He paused and sat back down in his chair. Crossing his legs by resting his left ankle on his right knee, he looked so regal and masculine..

No! What're you doing Brianna, you're literally falling for your captor, what's wrong with you?

I quickly pulled myself out of my reverie and paid attention to Aro.

"I will start off with this, you know we are not human and therefor we can not let you leave. We have laws made for this and for our kind, and unfortunately for you, a human having knowledge of our race is against what we stand for." My heart dropped at the sudden revelation, I can never leave? Like ever?

He sighed and continued, "Do you have any sort of clue as to what we are my dear?"

"I have thought about it but I quickly shoved the thought away as ridiculous.."

I heard a scoff come from Caius, "If you know we aren't human no ridiculous thought could be too far off." He said, annoyed.

"Well why don't you shoot a guess my dear, nothing will be judged." Aro suggested

"Why would you have me guess, why not just tell me?"

"Because my dear Brianna, where's the fun in that?" He chuckled, I shyly tucked my still damp hair behind my ear and sighed.

"Vampire.. You guys drink blood and have red eyes, it's fairly obvious. I guess I just didn't want to believe it." I said, nervous about what they would say to my answer.

Aro clapped and laughed out loud, he stood from his chair and came towards me with open arms, snaking them around my waist he whispered in my ear. "Correct little one, now can you guess as to why you are here?"

"I'm guessing it has to do with why you kept me alive during your little feeding time." I replied with a considerable amount of sass. I crossed my arms and moved away from him, he just smiled and nodded.

"Such a smart child, but yes, you should probably know that I have an ability. Some vampires do some vampires don't, but I was blessed with the gift of reading every single memory you have ever had just by touching you." He stated. I'm still confused as to why he's telling me this..

He started to pace around to room, holding his hands behind his back and circling me like prey. I really didn't care anymore, I just wanted to go back to my room. "During our 'little feeding time' as you call it, I moved your hair to drink from you. But as I brought my hand around I touched your skin and to my surprise I couldn't see anything, your mind was absolutely blank. That was the moment I decided to keep you alive, I was determined to find out what you are and how you could deceive my ability."

My body went numb, I didn't know what to do or say in this situation. I decided to stay quiet and let him continue. I wanted answers now!

"So I have brought you here to see if you are an exception to anyone else's gift. Jane you may come in now my sweet." He called to the door behind me, it was opened by a little girl, she looked like she was twelve, maybe thirteen. I don't care she looked young as hell and I was strangely intimidated by how she carried her self.

The girl, Jane, walked in and instantly glared at me, I don't know if it was intentional or not but this little girl had an attitude. Her dark cloak swished on the ground, making no sound what so ever, she stopped right beside Aro. Jane glanced up and him with admiration and anticipation, she smiled sweetly awaiting her command.

"This is Jane, she has the gift of pain, she doesn't physically hurt you in a sense. She makes you believe you are in the most excruciating pain possible, I want to see if it'll work." Aro stepped aside, without really asking me if I wanted to do this or not, he just assumed that I would be ok with it.. Nice.

I take a deep breath and nod at Jane, she gave me a wicked smirk and titled her head to the side innocently. "This might hurt just a little," she said before glaring at me intensely. I braced myself for the worst pain imaginable but strangely I felt nothing, absolutely nothing. I decided to get all smart-ass with her since her power doesn't work on me either.

"Ooh it hurts so bad." I say, twinkling my fingers like a little kid. I knew I was being rude and giving an attitude but hey! I deserve to do that once in a while considering my current situation. Jane's eyes flared with rage, if she could turn red she probably would have, her fists clenched by her sides and legs stiff as a board. She started her way towards me only to be stopped by her masters hand on her shoulder.

"Now Jane, we want to be polite yes?" Aro says, Jane just nods her head but still glares up at me. Aro laughs and strode towards me, "And yet she confounds us all! Well done my dear, you are showing promise already. Let's hope you continue to do so." The last part made me tingle uneasily, I didn't like the sound of that.

Did that mean if I didn't continue to show progress I would be killed?

I really hope It didn't.

Caius just scoffed, "I'm hardly impressed, let me try something Aro. Maybe then will I be satisfied with her progression." He got up put of his chair so quick I didn't even see him move, he was in front of me in an instant. His hand came up to me, what I could only assume was to strike me. Hard. I put up my arms to block my face, I felt the blow to my arms but it didn't feel any different, it felt strongly familiar to when my brother would punch me. It hurt but it wasn't bone shattering or excruciatingly painful in any sense.

I huffed out a breath as I let my arms down, only to see that I was now alone, I saw no Aro, Caius or even Marcus and Jane. It was just me, I didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. I heard nothing either, just complete and utter silence..

Then all of the sudden I was shot across the room, my body colliding with the wall with an unforgiving crack. I felt numb as I fell to the ground with a thud, my skin slapping against the cool marble floor. I heard yelling and fighting, I didn't know what was going on.. My mind and vision was blurred and fuzzy.

I felt hands underneath me and rushing winds in my ears. I couldn't even open my eyes, the world was spinning around me like I was on some sort of carousel. I heard the door to my room being kicked open and felt the soft bed on my back..

What happened?

Did.. Did Caius throw me across the room?

A soft bell like voice could be heard from a distance. I turn my head slightly to see Aro bent over me with the look of horror struck on his face. I didn't understand what he was saying, it was all echoed gibberish to me... What's happening?

I'm scared as the room finally fell to black.
