I don't own Harry Potter or Twilight just the plot.
Chapter Three: Dreams
Evelynn Pov
They were red eyed, draped in black cloaks, with hoods hiding their faces.
I woke up breathing quickly my body feeling hot. Once again the dreams had returned, but now they were different. It had been over two weeks, after my first dream that first night with the Cullen's.
Red eyed? Could they of been vampires too?
I rolled out of bed and headed to the bathroom. I filled the sink with water, cupped it in my hands and splashed it over my face. I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair was white, this normally meant I was panicking or confused. I yawned and went back into my bedroom to get dressed.
"Good morning Evelyn." Esme said cheerfully when I entered the kitchen.
She was a lot like Mrs We...Hermione, always cheery and polite. I smiled at her and got out the cereal. I sat down at the table and put a shovelled spoon of cornflakes in my mouth.
"How are you Esme?" I asked after realising I was being impolite. She gave me a thousand watt smile.
"I'm fine thank-you; you on the other hand look very tired. Are you ok?" she asked concerned, while sitting next to me. I shook my head.
"It's just the dreams again." I said after stifling a yawn. "It's just a nightmare." I said thinking of the Death Eaters.
But that doesn't explain the red eyes? I thought.
"Are your dreams still about hooded figures?" A gentle voice asked. I turned to the door to see Carlisle and nodded.
"What do you think it is Carlisle?" I asked.
"I'm not sure, maybe we will know soon though. Dreams or nightmares are always something that plays on what's happened to you. Your Mother and Father died Evie; you're very strong about it. It's probably your mind letting down your guard. Try not to worry about it. " He said kissing the top of my head. I nodded.
Already in a matter of weeks Carlisle and Esme had become my parental figures. I liked it too, the fact I could be around people who understand and are nice. Well, apart from Rosalie. She still seems to be iffy about me.
Esme took the empty bowl away and I wondered into the living room. I sat opposite Alice who was sat on the loveseat cuddling Jasper. Nessie was sat with Jacob watching something; I turned to the T.V to see what they were watching. I saw an animated clown fish swimming after a blue fish and recognised the film as Finding Nemo.
"Have you seen this film before?" Nessie asked. I nodded. "I love the end, don't you?"
"Yeah," I said smiling. She got up from her spot beside Jacob and sat next to me.
"You're not up for talking," she said. "What's wrong?" I smiled, she was just like Rose. She knew immediately if something was wrong.
"It's just the dreams; they're starting to bug me."
"What dreams?" Jacob asked joining in with the convocation.
"Evie keeps having dreams of hooded figures." Nessie explained.
"I think it might be of the Death Eaters." I said unsurely.
"Could it be the Volturi?" Jacob asked. I stared at him in confusion.
"No, I don't think so. Alice hasn't had any visions of them lately." Nessie said.
"Who are the Volturi?" I asked.
"They're like the Vampire police. Whatever they say goes. If you disobey the one rule they'll hunt you down and kill you." Nessie said.
"What's the one rule?" I asked stupidly, it was probably something simple.
"Never let a human know or see you're a Vampire. If they do see, they are to be turned or killed." Nessie explained. See, something simple. Now I did feel stupid.
"It's a good thing I'm a Witch then. I learnt about Vampire's when I was thirteen." I said. Jacob snorted.
"Somehow, if they found out you were here and what you were. I don't think they'd even listen to that reasoning." He said. I bit my lip.
"I'm really in that much danger being here aren't I?" I asked suddenly seeing why Rosalie was so put off about me. She feared for her family's lives.
"Yes, but it doesn't matter. I haven't seen the Volturi coming to check on Renesemee, if and when they do. We will make sure you're away and gone before they come." Alice said reassuringly. I smiled even though I wasn't so sure myself.
"Don't worry Evelynn. You're safe." Jasper said smiling at me. Alice suddenly gasped and then giggled. Jasper rolled his eyes.
"Shopping trip," He and Nessie said together as Alice grinned like a maniac. I laughed as they pulled me upstairs to get ready. What had I gotten myself into?
I followed Nessie and Alice into what felt like the hundredth store. Unfortunately Nessie hadn't inherited Bella's loathing for shopping and seemed to be more excited about this whole thing than Alice. I liked cloths but shopping dawn until dusk was a bit too much for me. I was thinking off apparating back the Cullen's house but then I remembered I hadn't learnt how to apparate yet and didn't really want my body to be disconnected from my head. So I followed them unwillingly into Top Shop for the third time today.
Ladled with shopping bags we finally made our way back to Emmet's Jeep Alice had borrowed from him. We'd been chucked out by the mall for not going when they were closing up. My feet hurt, my eyes kept drooping and for the millionth time today my stomach rumbled. Rather loudly. I felt the heat rise to my face when Nessie and Alice giggled.
"Don't worry Evie, we'll be home soon and you can have Esme make a 12" margarita pizza if you want." Nessie said grinning at me. I grinned back and mmm'd at the thought of some food.
"I look forward to it." I said.
I fell back onto my bed; my stomach was full of pizza. I was stuffed. Fortunately Jacob was there to help clear it all. Nessie sure wasn't joking when she said Esme would make me a 12" pizza. I got dressed into my pyjamas and took out my Hogwarts a History book Hermione had given to me. Out of all my years being at Hogwarts I'd never read it. I guess now's a good time. I opened it to chapter one and began reading... I soon fell asleep.
It was them again. Black cloaks with hoods. They would have been mistaken for Death Eaters if I didn't know better. There red eyes bored into me. Three of them not stepped forward. They all had a chalky pallor, red milky eyes and the same demeanour as any other Vampire. Two had long black hair and the other white. One man with black long hair stepped forward.
I woke up again, breathing heavily. I looked over at the clock, 4 am. The Cullen's would be up and about around the house. I wasn't right; as I wandered downstairs no one was there. I went back upstairs and checked for Carlisle in his study, I needed someone to talk to pronto. I found myself to be unlucky again. I looked around Carlisle's study. I'd never been in here before. Books were presented on shelves and paintings were still around the room. One in particular I'd noticed was of three men, the three men from my dream.
"That's Aro, Marcus and Caius." A voice said from the doorway. I turned quickly to see Carlisle. I blushed as he smiled warmly at me. "They are known as the Volturi."
"That's the Volturi?" I asked suddenly horrified. I was having dreams about the Volturi! Carlisle chuckled and nodded. "I didn't realise. Are they friends of yours?"
"More acquaintances these days, they threatened our family about four years ago. Our relationship with them since has been very...rocky."
"Why would they want to threaten you?" I asked curiously.
"They had been misinformed by a friend that we had made an Immortal Child." I gasped at this. "Ah, I see that name is not uncommon in the Wizarding world either?"
"No, they caused the Ministry havoc. It nearly led to a wizarding war with the Vampires." I smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, I don't remember the rest. I kind of didn't listen in History of Magic. A very boring subject if you ask me." Carlisle chuckled. "Sorry, please continue."
"Do not be. The Volturi came thinking Renesemee was the Immortal Child. We soon proved that she was not, though, we have had to travel around a lot to keep the Humans from realising she's growing." I shook my head.
"Muggles, they don't notice anything really." I said. I sat down on the couch. "Would the Volturi ever come back?"
"Aro sends one member of the Guard to check up on her now and then. We haven't had a visit from them in a while though."
"Maybe they've given up. Maybe they don't see you as a threat anymore." I said.
"It's possible...May I ask you why you're so interested in the Volturi?" he asked. I nodded.
"I had a dream about those men." I explained, jerking my head towards the painting. "I wanted to know more about them."
"It's just a dream." Carlisle said sitting next to me. I looked at the painting again.
"I hope so." I said. Somehow, I just knew it wasn't.
Okay!
So reviews keep me on my feet and make me update faster. :)
HINT HINT :P
I hoped you enjoyed it.
