Chapter 3
After I heard her last breath I simply stood there in shock, the other two took their share of the kill. I stared at the scene before me but I no longer saw anything, I was numb. "It's a beautiful sight, no." Felix derided. He stood a couple of feet from me and I couldn't hold back, I lunged at him.
"Jane." Aro murmured halting her at once.
I brought him to the ground with a crumbling thump. "Don't mock me." I growled. I pushed off the ground and got back on my feet. Felix fumbled up to excuse himself to Aro, who stared at us in awe.
"You could excuse yourself." Felix growled.
I scoffed. "What are we five? I told you not to mock me apparently you didn't get the message."
"Master, this happened at no fault of my own."
"Don't mock him." Aro warned. It surprised me that he was 'on my side.'
"Master –"
Aro half smiled. "Must I repeat myself, Felix?"
"No master, I apologize."
Aro gestured down to the lifeless girl. "Take care of this won't you?" Felix briefly stared me down but did as he was told. He took the body out, his eyes were hungry but he resisted as did Jane, the other female. "I have to say, Jacob, is it?" I nodded curtly. "I would have never dreamed of the day you would show up in Volterra of all places, home to your mortal enemy, and ask to join us. The idea of someone like you joining our household is tempting and you would be ever so useful." He glided towards me, it was beyond me how not a hair was out of place, he had just killed someone for goodness sakes. "There is an issue here. I need to know why you are so eager to join us. I recall a bit of hostility, from you in particular. Why would you have a change of heart, why would you choose us?"
"Does it matter why? The only thing that should matter is that I did." I was willing to do anything but not to tell him why I was here. I wasn't going to tell him what beckons me here.
"You see, that answer doesn't satisfy me."
I shrugged. "It's too bad then, it would've been remarkable for everyone to see us here on the same side." I taunted. I wanted him to like the idea so much that he would forget about why I was here and concentrate on the fact that I was here. Telling him why was out of the question, it was too painful, too personal.
The two beside him exchanged a look but said nothing. "You'll guard the city at night, we'll see if you go beyond that." Aro finally said. "Refrain from attacking the guard, if you may."
I nodded. "I appreciate the opportunity and unfortunately I'm not too social so I'll do what I have to." Aro ignored my last comment.
"Saya." He called. Seconds later the doors opened and someone entered. It was a girl; she had olive toned skin and pink threatening eyes. It was shocking. I had never seen eyes that color, they were so bright and enticing. "Master." She greeted him with a smile. What was enticing about her is that her scent was like none other. It was not Vampire or Human, she smelled like…roses.
"Take him to your residence once you've cleared the city, I'm sure he'll be better accommodated there than here."
She nodded. "Come." I followed not really knowing what was in store. Once we were in the hall se began to talk. "What's your name?"
"What are you?" I asked not being able to resist the curiosity.
She laughed silently. "I'm a vampire. What else?" She saw the confusion that overcame me, apparently it amused her. She walked down a maze of halls then went up some stairs before exiting out some doors to the city.
"You smell like roses." I finally said. "Why?"
"It's my gift."
I raised my brow. "I don't get it."
"What do roses represent?" she asked.
I shrugged. "I'm sure everyone thinks…love."
She smiled and leaped up to a balcony. "Exactly." She shouted.
I followed her up the balcony to the third story and up to the roof. "So what does that mean?"
"Isn't obvious?" She asked, maybe it was too obvious. I stared at her not sure what to say, I didn't have an answer. "I'm like the cupid from the underworld." She finally clarified.
