I do not own twilight...just Anaya. :)
Oh, and thank-you for all the reviews. =D
Chapter Three: A bit of persuasion
I stood opposite Felix, my husband to be, I watched him twirl the sword skilfully in his right hand. He smirked at me and moved towards me, I moved away. He laughed and within blinding speed he attacked. I parried it and moved away from him. I turned and struck his leg. The metal blade scratched against his leg and he swung the blade at my torso. I jumped away. He got up, threw the blade on the floor and crouched, snarling at me. I saw Caius shaking his head.
"Felix!" he shouted. "Pick up the sword!" I smirked at Felix as he picked it up throwing it a dirty look. I laughed joyfully and struck at his chest. He snarled at me and blocked my second attack. I turned again and hit the sword as he blocked my blow again. I narrowed my eyes at him and moved backwards.
He attacked again and I parried it. Quickly pulling out the parry I spun round and hit his torso. The metal scraped across his skin again. I swung the sword on his left leg and tripped him. He fell backwards and I kicked the sword from his hands. He looked up at me as I held the sword to his throat.
"Dead," I whispered. I looked at Caius who stared at me in bewilderment. I helped Felix up and we walked over to him and Demetri.
"I see you have been well trained with a sword." Caius said. Aro appeared at the door. Caius held out his hand, which he took almost immediately. As he read Caius's memories a smile grew on his face.
"Well done, Anaya." He said congratulating me. Jane and Alec appeared by the door. "Now, since you are a mimic. I would like to see what powers you have gained." I stared at him in shock. How the hell was I supposed to do that? I don't even know what abilities I have gained. He waved his hand towards me while Jane, Alec, Demetri and Felix advanced. I dropped the sword and felt deep inside me for something that could help. I crouched while thinking; I must have stolen some powers when I had just woken up after being changed. I skipped through my memories. My brother's face entered my head as did my Father's and Elizabeth's. My brother had an interesting ability to appear out of nowhere.
I instantly appeared behind the guard and I heard Aro gasp. I giggled and they turned to face me. I kicked Demetri in the chest and he was thrown backwards. I back flipped and crouched again. I felt Elizabeth's ability next. I grasped Felix's hand and he was knocked out in a second by sedation. I advanced towards Jane and Alec who separated. I felt Jane's power first and I screamed in pain. Alec's soon washed over me and I fell to the ground again unable to keep my sight.
My sight, touch and hearing returned to me eventually. I looked up to see Felix's worried expression. I smiled at him and sat up. I turned to Alec.
"I hate your...gift" I said grinning at him. He grinned back at me and I looked around the room. Aro and Caius were talking quickly with each other. There expressions changed from an alerted looked to panic when they looked at me. I looked at them.
"What is it?" I asked softly. They both looked at me.
"We are deciding whether it is safe to keep you." Aro told me unwillingly. He looked shocked. I smiled slightly to myself. Persuasion is a powerful thing. I laughed.
"Do I have another choice?" I asked grasping Felix's hand. "I'm sure my Fiancée won't be too happy I'm gone. You do remember you chose him for me, don't you?" I smiled sweetly at the Masters and they both sighed.
"Yes, you are right." Aro said in defeat. "What other skills have you got then?" he asked. I smiled and shocked Felix with an electric bolt. He swore and nudged me hard in the ribs.
After a long three hours we finally found most of my extra abilities. Including the ability to manipulate the vision of others, electrical manipulation, a force-field the masters called a shield, the ability to freeze things by will, to know when I'm being lied to, persuasion and telekinesis.
I now quietly sat in a small sized room, small enough for a couple of people anyway, reading a book. The door opened and I looked up to see Renata, Aro's personal guard, Chelsea and Heidi. Chelsea bounded towards me picking up the book and threw it lightly on the table. I raised my eyebrows at her.
"Yes?" I asked softly. She giggled.
"We've come to show you your new wardrobe." She said smiling. I shook my head and got up.
"I don't exactly know where my room is, let alone the wardrobe in it!" I stated. Renata laughed.
"You're in Felix's room silly." She grasped my hand and we ran off towards his room.
"Great." I mumbled. She laughed and knocked on the door. There was no reply but the sound of a T.V. Heidi sighed and kicked it open. Renata pulled me in and I saw Felix, Alec Demetri and Santiago.
"Get out!" Chelsea commanded, striding over to the wardrobe and pulling it open. My jaw dropped at the millions of shoes and I saw my other dark green tunic. Felix looked round at us, his face giving away the answer, no. She sighed. "Oh well, Anaya will just have to get changed in front of them." I watched as Felix gave me a slight smirk with a hint of eagerness. I heard sniggers from Demetri, Alec and Santiago. I turned to Chelsea who was trying to control her laughter at what she said.
"Oh hell no," I shouted at her. The boys behind me burst out laughing and I turned to them with a murderous glare. "Demetri has a T.V, now get out!" I said. Felix just smirked at me again.
"Actually I wouldn't mind watching you, darling." He said. "It would save me ripping your pretty cloths later." I looked away in humiliation as they started laughing. I glared at him and he gave me an apologetic grin. I looked back at the girls.
Chelsea had her fist in her mouth to stop her laughing and Renata had her hands clamped over her mouth, though there was laughter in her eyes. Heidi hadn't bothered to control it and was holding onto the door frame for support. I snarled at her slightly and she looked at me with a sheepish smile. I rolled my eyes and walked over to Felix. Without him realising I grabbed his arm, hurled him to the floor and pinned him there.
"Get out!" I growled at him. Alec suddenly appeared by my side, his shocked face turning to a grin. He looked at Felix. I noticed Demetri slip out the door and watch at a safe distance. Alec patted Felix's arm.
"Mate, you just got beat by a girl." He said. Felix growled at him
"I wasn't ready." He said standing up. I raised my eyebrows as he challenged me. He grabbed my waist and pushed me onto the sofa. He placed his hands both sides of my head and leaned towards me. I grabbed his cream jumper and pulled him down beside me. I rested my head against his shoulder and placed my hand on his chest.
"Felix, if you don't go, I'll personally freeze your ass." I said smoothly. He smirked challenging me. I sighed and moved to sit on his lap. His smirked dropped and I giggled. I began stroking his face and I lowered my lips to his ear.
"Please go away." I said sweetly, using my persuasion. I smiled and stood up and waited by Chelsea as he stood up and walked out the door.
"I want something back!" he finally shouted to me. I laughed and shut the door.
"I think I'm going to like it here." The others laughed and I sat on the chair Felix had sat in moments ago. Renata hung up a long black hooded cloak in wardrobe
"Aro told us to give you that." she said. I stared at it and saw my expression in the mirror. It plainly said I wouldn't be caught dead wearing it. Heidi chuckled.
"There actually quite comfortable." She said. I raised my eyebrows and then got up and looked in the wardrobe. There were many pairs of skinny jeans, dresses, skirts, tops, underwear, jackets and accessories.
"Wow." I said. The others giggled.
"I'm glad you like them, we're going to go and do our duty. We'll see you later Princess." Chelsea said. I watched them leave and looked through the clothes. I noticed many that could be used for hunting. I finally picked out a chanteuse dress; it had a very pale pink for the top and a black for the bottom. I put on a black cardigan, black tights and pale pink flat shoes. I shut the doors and looked at my soft curly Auburn hair in the mirror. It was normally much frizzier, but after the change my hair brush smoothed through it like silk. The door opened again and I turned around to see Felix. He looked me up and down, and then smiled at me.
"I came to apologise the way I was acting before." I smiled and waved away his apology. I stood up and sat next to him. "You look very beautiful." He said. I giggled and looked at him.
"Thank you." I said. I looked into his red eyes that were hinting the black that they would become in a few days. I studied his face and body, purely amazing. How is it that I am interested in him? He is part of the Volturi. I stopped myself there. I was about to be part of the Volturi too. Forgetting he was there and thinking about my worries I stood up.
"Are you ok?" he asked almost immediately. A little startled I looked back at him. I sat back down again.
"Yes, I'm fine. I was thinking. I'm confused." I said looking at him. His eye's urged me to carry on. "I'm Romanian royalty. Yet, I'll be married to you one day to come. Being here, it's odd. My Father taught me to fear the Volturi, to fear their whole being. How am I to love someone that I am to fear?" I looked away from him and sighed. "Yet, you did save my life. How am I to fear my saviour?" I kept my head down feeling a little humiliated with myself. Since I'd met him I'd shown him my 'tough' exterior, now to share my feelings with him. I almost felt naked.
Review please.
