I loveeeee writing fanfictions! I'll write about the other topics in my vote when I get bored of this story. I don't know why, but I slightly favor the jewel sisters over the greek sisters. Maybe it's because of their powers. Imagine Aro's greedy face when he hears about these gifts! Also, do you think that I should do some POVs in other characters like Sam and Afro? PM me!!!
Disclaimer: I only own the characters that you've never heard of.
Creepy
Alex POV: Volterra, Italy
I couldn't believe these… vampires. How could they do that?! Of course I understood that their hearts were dead and cold-literally, but didn't they have a soft spot for their parents-or creators or whatever?
HOW COULD THESE VAMPIRES JUST KILL OUR PARENTS?! They were so young and they had three children! We were going to make them PAY.
Right before I open the huge mahogany doors, Jo stops me.
"You guys do know that this mission is suicidal, right?" Jo asks in a quiet voice.
That makes me pause and turn around. Anger clouds my face.
"Of course I know that," I say, barely containing my rage. "It would be so much easier to just run away now. But we can't. Even though this is suicidal, we have to try as hard as we can. You want to know why? Because running away tells the vampires that it's okay that they killed Mom and Dad. And it is certainly not OKAY!"
Tears flow down Jo's cherubic cheeks. She looks so heartbroken that I almost reach out to comfort her. A second later, I remember that Jo is a terrific actress and is probably faking it. She does this all the time.
"It's alright," I say stiffly.
Sam is in the same awkward posture that I am in. We both straighten up, and before I can change my mind, I push open the door.
What lies in front of us is a large circular room with a marble dome and more Latin-inscribed columns. A small platform is in the center of the room, and three throne-like chairs rest on it. I only have a second to take the view in before I start absorbing powers.
My eyes dart around and I spot the short, blond haired girl. She glares at me, and then sneers. I smile tauntingly back. Her eyes are slits now, and it looks like she is concentrating something on me, but nothing happens. She hisses and launches herself at me, but she moves at human speed.
She is bug-eyed now. I bet that she isn't used to being slow and not in control. I absorb her power and then turn around to face a man.
The man has long, black hair that reaches past his shoulders and milky red eyes that bore into my green eyes. He is wearing a black suit. I immediately recognize him as Aro, the dangerous leader that Jo described.
"Hello, child, what is your name?" Aro asks in a slow voice.
I narrow my eyes at him and am about to run when Jo comes out of nowhere and slaps him on the face. Aro stares at her, shocked.
I turn around and see many vampires knocked out. One of the remaining vampires is a tall-ish, handsome boy with brown hair. That must be the numbing boy.
Jo notes the direction I am looking and nods. I absorb the boy's power then grin at him. He stares at me with an emotionless expression, and then frowns. He must have been using his power!
"Sam! Jo! You guys can stop," I say, grinning.
They turn around. Most of the vampires seem to be waking up. This is the perfect time. Just as I am about to use the boy's power, a hand grabs me from behind. I scream.
Jo's eyes widen, but she's too far away to get to me. Sam breaks into a run, but even with her years in training on the track and field team, she can't get to me in time, I can see.
Aro begins to choke me. Through a hazy fog, I use my senses and pick the first power that I can sense. The little girl's power.
I use every bit of my concentration and focus the power on Aro.
Aro falls back like an elephant jumped on him, and then begins to thrash around. His teeth are gritted, but I can hear the screams that he's trying to hold in.
I run to the other side of the room, where Sam and Jo are staring at me wide-eyed. They hug me silently while I carefully desensitize all of the vampires. Sam withdraws her power and breathes out a sigh of exhaustion.
Suddenly, Sam stiffens. I glance nervously at her. Jo turns into a statue again. I realize what they are detecting. If my instincts are correct- and they always are, there are three more vampires outside. One of them had the ability to call and control animals, one could change her appearance, and one had a sixth sense for what to do in every situation. I could use that gift.
"More vampires?" I ask in a whisper.
"No," Jo unfreezes and looks confused. "Not vampires. They're humans."
"Sam," I instruct. "Block them anyway."
"I already did," Sam says.
We wait for the humans to come in. Why are there humans here? Why are the humans still alive?
Slowly, the door creaks open and we face three girls.
The one with glasses has curly black hair and intelligent grey eyes. The one in the middle has black hair, too, but it's straight, and she has dark eyes. The one on the right is completely different from the others and has wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. It seems like all three are related.
I sense their powers. The curly haired girl could sense what to do in certain situations, the straight haired girl was the one who could control animals, and the blonde, not surprisingly, was the one who could change appearances.
"Who are you?" I ask.
Arty POV: Volterra, Italy
We were going to get into big trouble. First we sneak into an ancient castle, and now our powers are gone! Could things get any worse?
"What should we do?" I ask desperately.
"Things can't really get any worse," Ena says, reading my mind. "So I guess we should just go in."
"Yep," Afro agrees shortly.
I push open the giant mahogany doors. They creak open and I gasp at the sight.
Bodies are everywhere, and three girls our age are standing on top of them. For some reason, there is no blood anywhere.
All three girls look snobby and rich. The middle one has bright green eyes and lovely, straight dark hair. Something about her screams 'Dangerous'! I can't help but be intimidated by her.
The one on the right reminds me of Afro. It pains me to think it, but her icy beauty even surpasses Afro's! That girl seems like an otherworldly supermodel! Her shimmery blond curls reach just past her chin and her natural purple eyes sparkle as they look at me. She seems like another popular girl stereotype.
The third girl has similar features to the rest of them, but her features are rounder and less angular. She has huge blue eyes that make her seem so helpless! Her lustrous mahogany hair waves slightly and reaches past her waist. I can't help but feel like I want to protect her!
The three girls look so different, yet they also look related. I wonder if they are nonidentical triplets, like Ena, Afro, and me.
I glance at Afro, who is sizing up the blond girl for a catfight. I fight a giggle. Of course Afro would do that.
Ena is staring at the innocent girl. I can tell that she thinks that the girl is deceptive, but cannot tell. The innocent girl smirks as if she knew what Ena was frustrated about.
That left me with the dangerous girl. I shuddered.
"Who are you?" The dangerous girl asks.
"Who are you?" I ask back. Ena and Afro look as puzzled as I must look.
"Answer my question," The dangerous girl spits.
"Answer mine," I retort, a smile on my lips.
A look of disdain plays on the dangerous girl's face. She motions slightly to her blonde sister, who smiles. The smile makes her face look sinister. I shudder. The girl's smile widens.
"We don't want to hurt you, but we will if we have to," The blonde girl says.
"So can we," Ena shoots back.
The innocent-looking girls steps up. She grasps her sisters' hands and squeezes slightly. She turns to face us.
"Answer all of our questions or we will tie you all up here and leave your fate to the newly awakened, angry vampires here," The girl says angelically.
"Vampires?!' I ask in disbelief.
"Yes, vampires," The dangerous girls says. "So answer our questions in a helpful manner and we'll let you go."
Ena looks queasy, so I guess that they are telling the truth.
"Fine," I say. "What do you want?"
"First, tell us your names, where you come from, and what you are doing here," The dangerous girl replies.
"I'm Artemis, and they are Athena and Aphrodite," I quickly explain.
"We are from Athens, but Volterra is now our permanent residence," Afro continues.
"We came here for an adventure," Ena says shakily.
The dangerous girl gives us each an once-over. She nods at the blonde.
"Since you've introduced yourselves," The dangerous girl says. "I think that it's only fair that we introduce ourselves."
"Fair?!" Afro yells, outraged. "You think that blackmail is fair?!"
"To us, yes," The blonde says, smirking. "Now shut up if you want to know about us."
Ena's head falls and she shrinks back like the outburst sucked out all of her energy.
"Anyway," The dangerous girl continues. "My name is Alexandra. The blonde is Samantha, and she's Johanna. Feel free to call us Alex, Sam, and Jo."
"Are you suggesting that we'll be seeing you again?" I ask angrily.
"I believe so," Jo says in an even voice.
I growl. How did everything get so strange?! Vampires?!
"Give us our powers back!" Ena yells.
"Calm down," Alex smiles.
"We would like to… make an alliance with you guys," Jo continues.
"With us?!" I ask in disbelief.
"Yes, you," Sam says.
"But why?" Ena asks, confused.
"Look, we know that you guys have powers, too. These vampires here killed our parents. We need all the help we can get," Alex says in a low voice.
"Oh," That's all I can say.
"I know that we told you our names, but we didn't tell you what we can do," Sam continues. "I can take away powers. That's why you guys can't do anything right now. Alex here can absorb others' powers and use them. Jo can sense what others' powers are and everything else about them."
"For example," Jo explains. "I know what your powers are and I know how confused you guys are. Let me explain."
For the next ten minutes, Jo tells us everything there is to know about vampires. I'm fairly certain that the vampires don't even know some of this information!
"… and don't forget to stay away from Aro. Jane and Alec are dangerous, too," Jo finishes.
"Thanks," I say.
"Will you guys please help us?" Jo pleads.
It seems near impossible to say no to her.
"I… guess…" Ena stammers.
"Sure," Afro says coolly.
"I guess we're helping you guys," I say.
"Great!" Jo exclaims. "You guys can have your powers back!"
Sam frowns for a second, then smiles dazzlingly at us. Our powers come back. I flex my power.
"How do you know we won't run away?" I ask tauntingly.
"Because," Alex smirks. "We'll catch you rightaway and toss you to the vampires."
I gulp visibly. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Ena check her watch.
"Artemis!" Ena whisper-yells. "It's past midnight! Mom will be so worried!"
"Look," I say. "Our mom was expecting us around an hour ago. If we don't leave now, she'll send out a search party."
"Okay," Jo says quickly. "We'll visit your room when we can. We already have your room numbers and cell phone numbers. And our room is number 715."
"Sure," I say. "We really need to go."
And with that, we walk right out the front door.
Yeah, I know it was a really confusing ending, but I needed to upload!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More fun later, I promise! :)
