Ch 3 New Assets
Heidi was wiping some blood off her face as she stepped towards Aro. She had just finished feeding as the last of the tourists bodies were taken out of the Volturi chamber to be burned by Demetri and Felix. "Aro" she said turning to a vampire with onion like skin and long jet black hair who sat in a throne in the middle of the chamber next to two other vampires' one with blond hair, the other with black. "There's something I need to talk to you about."
"What is it Heidi? I can tell something is on your mind." Aro said getting up out of the throne and walking towards Heidi. Heidi giggled, "I could show you or just tell you which way do you want the information?" "Hmm, show me" Aro said as he reached out and grabbed Heidi's hand. As he held it he closed his eyes concentrating hard. "Heidi, that's absolutely fascinating you've discovered a new asset for our coven. I would very much like to meet her and if necessary I'll change her tomorrow night." Caius, the blond stood up. "What does all this mean?" Aro grinned, "Heidi has discovered an American college student here on vacation with her friend who has the ability to see the future. She supposedly had a vague vision of us before even coming here. Her power will become a lot greater once she's turned. Caius, my brother think of all the possibilities and power we will gain if we have someone who can tell us things that will happen well in advance like Alice could. It will give us a huge advantage over most covens." Caius went, "Humph, I suppose so, even though it wouldn't give us an advantage when it came to the Cullen's." Caius sat back down in his chair as Aro continued.
"Heidi, you know I would do anything to acquire a vampire like Alice, even if it means forcing her to undergo the change.'"
"Maybe you won't have to force her." Demetri said walking back into the chamber.
"Please tell me, Demetri?" Aro said turning his head to one side "Well, Aro, Heidi said she had a friend, we could use that friend as bait, a life for a life so to speak. We could tell her that we'll let her friend live if she becomes one of us or make her watch her friend die a slow death. Alec and I could take care of her friend while she was being changed and since she can only see the future not the past she would be under the impression her friend made it back to civilization unscathed."
Aro clapped his hands together "That's a wonderful idea! Heidi what time can we expect you to bring Alexis and her friend here?" Heidi smiled, "After 8' o clock sometime it will be hard to separate the two. I got the feeling they are really close. Alexis I don't think trusted me and I saw her take her friend aside shortly before I left. Julianne, I gather is more of a night owl and braver than Alexis" Aro sighed, "Too bad those traits were not reversed within them" Aro turned and saw that Jane had walked into the room. "Master" she said, "I assume you will need my brother and I's services tomorrow night." Aro grinned, "Yes, Jane my dear I think using your power on Alexis's friend may weaken her bravery which will make Alexis more willing to agree to our proposition if she sees her friend in obvious distress and pain." Aro looked back at Heidi. "Heidi I'm SOO thrilled you found a new member for our family, I really appreciate the information you found out."
Heidi smiled, "Aro, are you sure you'll be ready to change her tomorrow if necessary?" "Yes." Aro said as he flashed a smile exposing several shiny and sharp pointed white teeth.
Please review this chapter! Thanks to Pink – Angel 91 for reviewing the 1st chapter. I'd really appreciate hearing what you think of this story so far. It may be a while before I update again since I have finals coming up and I have a lot of different ideas on what direction to take this story in the next chapter.
