Chapter 3
There was complete silence as they all stared at me; I didn't need Jasper to know that the shock around the room was intense.
"Eleazar, why is Matt powerful?" I asked, trying to change the subject off of me and onto my brother.
"Yes, right, there are other creatures in this world, that have been created to balance out the scales. You see we defy what this world was created for… we don't die so there has to be something that can kill us, for regular Vampires like my family, and myself it is a werewolf. For a Vampire such as yourself and your brother it is… nothing. He is indestructible, the weapons created to destroy us don't work on him or you for that matter, since you absorbed his power when you changed him." He said, walking around the table and sitting on the chair next to where the other was.
"Okay, so what you are telling me is that… there are other god-forsaking creatures that could kill Vampires… Why the fuck did I not know this?" I asked getting a little pissed off because of it.
"I would love to know how you knew about vampires in the first place," said Irina
"And why your eyes aren't red" said Tanya
"And why you bit Matt but didn't kill him" said Kate.
"Well first, I know about vampires because I fell in love with one as a human, and then ended up getting my heart broken by him" I said looking at Irina "second, I don't know why my eyes aren't red, I think its because of my power, I was destined to be a vampire so maybe I didn't have that much human blood left in me anyways" I said looking at Tanya "And lastly, I bit Matt because the vampire that transformed me left him to the brink of death and didn't bite him, he was about to die and she thought that I wouldn't be able to control myself so she left him for me to finish off, what she didn't know is that he is too important to me to kill so I didn't think about the thirst, I just bit" I said looking at Kate and shrugging my shoulders.
"The theory you have about your eye color makes a lot of sense, I would agree with you on that." Said Eleazar.
"Well, I think we should get going now… we have a few things to take care of before we disappear for good." Matt said as we both stood up "before we go, do you happen to know someone who can forge some documents for us?" he asked Eleazar.
"Yes, in fact I do." Eleazar replied as he wrote down a name, number, and address on a piece of paper and handed it to us.
"Thank you" we said in unison as we made our way out, they all followed us, and I turned to look at them.
"Please call me if you need anything, I will be glad to help if there were any problems to arise" I told Eleazar
"Same goes to you my dear, if you need anything… please don't hesitate to contact us," said Carmen.
"We will" I smiled at them one more time before I got into the car. As we drove away from them I closed my eyes and thought of Carmen and Eleazar I whispered bless you in my head and felt two tugs at the back of my neck, I saw them glow as I looked in my rearview mirror.
"What now?" I thought out loud.
"I think we should do some travelling in the vampire world, you can absorb as much power as we can get to, then we can settle down somewhere" said Matt
"I want to start at the Volturi, let me hide out somewhere close enough to get the whole guards power, then they won't be a threat to us. After that we can do individuals." I told him.
"To Volterra then?" he asked
"Yeah… but first we need to get you contacts. You can't go into the human world with red eyes." I told him with a smile and a shake of my head.
I drove to the nearest pharmacy, as I got out of the car, the people that were walking on the sidewalk couldn't help but stare. I smiled politely at them as I made my way into the store.
"Hello, how may I help you" a Chinese looking man said without glancing up from the paper he was reading.
"Hi, do you happen to have any contacts for sale?" I asked as I walked up to the desk from the door.
When the man looked up he was shocked, I could tell because he went slack jawed and his eyes grew as big as saucers "y-yes t-t-there over t-there" he stuttered as he stared at me, pointing towards the left.
I looked over to see shelves stacked with all different kinds of contacts "thank you" I said as I walked towards the shelves.
I decided to get all kinds of colors; I had 300 boxes in my hand. I headed back to the counter and paid for them, then made my way back to Matt.
"Think you went a little over-board there Bells?" Matt asked as I handed him the bag.
"You have venom in your eyes dude, you would probably melt them all by the end of the day" I told him with a shake of my head giving him the best 'your and idiot' look.
"Okay, how's about we go to Italy and get this trip over with?" he asked "I'm not really too keen on staying there long so… we get there then you go straight in and get the powers and we go straight back to the airport so that we can get the hell out of there" he continues playing with a ring on his finger.
"Yeah, okay." I replied. To be completely honest, I was just as nervous as he was, maybe even more. I remember the pain I felt with the Denali's, and that was only two powers. The Volturi have hundreds of powerful vampires. Imagine how much pain I am going to be in whilst I absorb all of them.
We made our way to the nearest airport. Since we are still newborns, we don't need any new passports so we went straight to the airport and bought the first ticket we could to Volterra.
We arrived at Volterra Italy a few hours later, it was mid afternoon. We decided to check the Volturi castle and see if we could find anywhere I can hide.
Once we've rented a car, we drove in the direction of the castle but parked it a little far away. We ran the rest of the way, the closer we got the more nervous I became.
We reached the doors of the castle but I heard someone talking inside which made me stop before I could open the gate.
'There has been new sighting of a newborn army in Texas, it has now become a problem and we need to intervene' the voice said.
'Was it really necessary to summon the entire guard for this? We all know who you are going to pick to go dispose of this threat' another voice said, this one was deeper than the last.
Matt tapped me on the shoulder, I looked up at him and he pointer to the side of the castle, there was a cave carved into the wall under a window. We walked towards it and stepped into the cave, as we went in deeper the voices got clearer until we reached the end and it was as if we were in the same room.
I felt a small tug in my stomach then fell to my knees as an intense amount of pain coursed through my body. I didn't make a sound as I clutched my head between my hands and absorbed all the powers the Volturi had. There were so many, I could feel them all forming, making attachments inside my brain, I could catalogue each power, how to use them, how to improve them. It was like my brain was absorbing knowledge as well as power. The pain started to lessen a little, it became the headache it was when I absorbed the gifts in Denali. I opened my eyes slowly and looked up.
I saw Matt playing on his phone, his back against the wall; I stood up as the headache went away. That caught Matt's attention as he looked up from his phone. I gave him thumbs up and pointed to the outside of the cave. He nodded and we ran out of the cave, I erased our sent from the castle as we made our way out of the cave, removed any evidence that we were once there. I smiled as we made our way to the next town from Volterra, far enough so that no Volturi can hear us.
"You had me worried there Bells, you were out for an hour" Matt said once we've stopped running.
"Really, it felt longer" I said with a shake of my head and a small smile.
"At least this mission was a success," said Matt with a big goofy smile on his face.
I shook my head "yeah, but I have like… 175 gifts now, they are all jumbled in my head but they are pretty cool" I replied a frown playing on my face as I went through the list of gifts I absorbed so far. "And I think I absorbed their knowledge along with their power, because there are some battle moves and strategies and vampire information in my head that I never knew before" I continued
"Damn that must be cool" Matt said.
"You heard what they were talking about? Why they summoned that meeting?" I asked
"Yeah, there is a newborn army forming in the south of Texas, they are sending a few people out to beat the army, and collect any valuable vampire they can find. Apparently newborn armies are like their Santa, or their bank. Whichever makes more sense?" Matt said as he put his stupid thinking face on, phrasing the last bit more like a question than a suggestion.
"It doesn't matter," I told him "how about we go fight the army ourselves?" I asked "I could use a little adventure before we settle down" I told him
"Hell yeah!" he exclaimed, his excitement was short live though when he thought of a flaw in my plan "you don't know how to fight though" he said with a frown on his face.
"You don't either" I replied a little offended that he didn't include himself in the equation.
"My dad made sure I was a pro at all kinds of different martial arts, I can kick butt easily, you on the other hand, cannot," he said as he pointed a finger at me.
"I think I can actually." I told him as I looked into my mind "let's test it out and fight against each other. Now that we can't get hurt I don't think either one of us will hold back," I said
"Alright then, little Bells think's she can fight me. I accept your challenge," he said with a small bow.
I stood up and we moved to the middle of the field we were rested in. it was dark out now, we were in the middle of a large field and there was no evidence of civilization anywhere around us. It was literally a field so large and green; if it were sun set it would be the most beautiful view ever.
Matt attacked first throwing in a few punches that I easily dodged; I had a small voice in my head telling me everything I now knew about newborns.
Newborns rely solely on their instincts, they are temperamental and impatient, and if they get their arms around you you're dead.
I jumped over Matt and flipped in the air before landing on his back and putting my hands on his neck.
"Dead" I declared as I hopped off his back
"How do you figure?" he asked, I repeated to him what the voice in my head had said to me.
We spent the rest of the time fighting, learning the new strategies I knew and the new moves I knew. By the time we had learned it all we were completely in sync. Pouring everything we know now into action. It was like I was taken over by a super warrior, like I was another person watching from the sidelines.
"Did you feel that too?" asked Matt
"Feel what?" I asked in return, frowning at him.
"Like you weren't the one in control," he replied a scared look on his face
"Yeah, like I was watching from the sidelines" I replied, then I remembered something Alice had told me when I asked about Jasper's scars
"Jasper has an alter ego, it's called the Major. When he gives it control, he becomes a ruthless killer, maybe that's what happened to us." I suggested
"The Major, that's such a cool name, what the hell are we gonna call us. I want something that cool" Matt exclaimed as we both started thinking
Before we could suggest anything we heard rapid footsteps coming towards us, I sniffed the air and froze in my spot… vampire
It came into the clearing and stopped before us. She was a girl, I could tell she was a newborn because she looked scared and frantic and was covered in blood; she had bright red eyes and was tall, about 5,11. She was wearing a white tank top and dark blue jeans, she had blonde hair that was perfectly curled and a well fit body, her arms were exposed due to the tank top she was wearing, they were muscular, not too muscular that they look manly. But enough so that they were impressive and made her look hot.
"Hi, I'm Bella. Who are you?" I asked. Matt stood by my side looking at the girl in front of us who was crouched in a defensive position. "Don't worry we won't hurt you" I said in a sweet calm voice.
"I'm Emma," she said still in a crouch
"Are you alone Emma?" I asked
"Yeah" she said brokenly as she stood up out if the crouch "the lady with the red hair killed my husband" she said brokenly "right in front of me" she continued, her hands were shaking, I felt so bad for her.
I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her; she stiffened at first but then relaxed when she saw that I wasn't going to hurt her. She wrapped her arms around my waist and buried her face in my neck as sobs wracked her body.
"Hey Emma?" I asked as the sobs subsided, she lifted her head to look at me "would you like to join our little family?" I continued.
She looked between us for a second before she gave me a watery smile and nodded "I would love to, thank you" she replied shakily.
"Come on there little sister, I'll make sure no one ever hurts you again" Matt said with a big smile as he took her from my arms and gave her his 'comfort' hug that always works for me. I smiled as I heard Emma sigh meaning it worked for her too. My smile quickly turned into a frown when I remembered what Emma said.
"Emma… you said the vampire that did this to you had red hair, do you by any chance remember her name or what she looked like?" I asked
"I just remember she had fiery red hair and it was curly, and she had red eyes too. Her name started with a V but I cant remember what it was, just the letter because she had it on a chain around her neck" She answered with a small frown as she tried to recall.
I stood there frozen as I thought of the one person I know with all those characteristics.
"Victoria" I whispered.
