Rheas POV

I drummed my fingers lightly on the shaggy carpet as I looked around for something to do. Mel was having a long bath, which Dillagona thought she deserved. Demetri had been an annoying pain to Mel over the last few days, and we were doing everything we could to keep them away from each other. After all, although Mel's personalities have been split and into each of us, we have to obey all her commands.

Even the commands she doesn't even notice she's sent, like keep her away from Demetri.

I sighed and decided that the best thing to do now would be to make up the Mel.

Lifting my body, I headed towards the bathroom door, which Mel always left open. I mean, I can't open the blasted doors, now can I?

Sticking my head in revealed the neck of Meladii along with the back of her head, her hair piled onto her head. A few strings of hair hung out from here and there.

A strong sent of tropical flowers swarmed into my nose like an invading disease. It smelt wonderful, but was a little too overpowering for my taste.

I could hear Mel singing while flicking dirt from under her perfect nails. I held my breath and tried listening harder to see if I could tell what she was listening too.

"Lookin' at, lookin' at, lookin' at me. Look at that, look at how they're lookin' at me. Eye's are stickin' like honey on bees, look at that, look at how they're lookin' at me." Mel sung in a perfect voice that smoothed my worries. Chillin'.

I sat down on the cold tiles and listened to her voice flow through me. It relaxed me, soothed me, but her voice was filled with power. Just a shift of that could pin me to do what ever she pleased.

Odd though, how he thoughts were extremely low, how she saw her self as ugly and lonely. Mel doesn't see the way the un-mated Volturi males look at her. She's very beautiful, even for a vampire, but when ever we tell her that she just gets more down, believing that we're forced to say those kind words.

She also doesn't know that she's not alone. She's got us, right?

There was a polite knock on the door and I turned my head and stiffed the air.

Demetri.

Turning my gaze to Mel, I noticed she hadn't moved and was still singing along to one of her favorite songs. Not wanting to interrupt the peace, I walked around the bathroom door, kicked it lightly with my foot so it swung to the door frame and went to the door that connected Mel's sanctuary bedroom with the hallway.

"Yes, Demetri?" I asked the door. Obviously, I hoped he noticed I couldn't open the darn devise.

I lay down horizontally across the edge of the doorway, making myself larger, so Demetri wasn't going to enter any time soon.

The door opened and Demetri gaze held mine. It was mixed with anger and annoyance.

"I need to talk to Meladii." He growled, emphasizing the name 'Meladii', but he made to attempt to take a step towards me.

"Mel is in the bath." I corrected his usage of her full name in a bored tone. She hated the name 'Meladii'.

"Tell her that Heidi will be back in thirteen minutes, that you need to go back to your job guarding the Cullens, Aro wants to see her after the feed and I would like to apologize." Demetri ordered in a steady tone.

"If your going to apologize for the three days your were a mute cow, then I'm sorry but I can't allow that to happen. Mel has already suffered the blow with you Volturi, and you adding to the bunch didn't make it better. Reminding her of those pains will just provoke us, her guardians, to protect her." I promised to him, leaning towards him with a snarl in my voice. "And we all know what that'll do."

He stared at me with defiance in his eyes for about a minute. "Yes we do. But have you ever stopped to wonder what will happen if one of you were in danger?" With that, Demetri bowed ever so slightly and walked of towards the throne room.

"Then you all wouldn't stand a chance." I whispered to no one, noticed him stiffen in the corner of my eye and pulled myself back into the room.

As soon as I spun around, I was met with a very wet Meladii. Her arm's were crossed, she looked troubled while trying to peer over me.

"What did Demetri want?"

Meladii POV

"He didn't want anything." Rhea shrugged and studied her paw's nails as she shrunk to her, and my, preferred size of an Ice Tiger.

I looked over to the door and started walking over there, closed the door and spun to face her again.

"What did he say?" I rephrased my question.

"Well. He said, 'I need to talk to Meladii.' Then he went on about something and blah blah blah. Something about feeding in thirteen minutes, Aro wants to see you later and my paw hurts." She pouted the last three words and I sighed.

"Okay, okay." I sighed. I was starved anyway. Summoning pets does drain me, including when they get just as hungry as I do.

"He was grumpy again." Rhea streatched with a yawn.

"Maybe you caught him on a bad day." I grumbled to the closest at I tried draining water from my hair.

"Everyday's a bad day for that man." Rhea mumbled, more likely to herself than to me.

I used my vampire speed to quickly wrap a towel around my hair, slip into a black dress with frills, pull on fish-net stockings, my Volturi cape, apply make-up and stare into my eyes in the reflection just a little bit longer before walking out the door.

My eyes where a white grey – which was usual because all the blood I consumed went to my pets instead of me. I only needed a small amount of blood to survive – after all – they were me.

I threw the hood of the Volturi cloak over my head, so all my prey could see would be my mouth to my chin. I then unsummoned Rhea just as I reached the room.

The throne room was filled with all the vampires from the guard, the royals and the guard's guard's.

About twenty or so vampires, and they had all split into groups of two's to five. Some near me stopped to look at me as I entered. I found a good patch of wall that hadn't been taken near the door leading to the Volturi's rooms.

I could hear the human's footsteps just outside the doors now, along with the vampiress Heidi.

"And this is the throne room, the one the very rulers of Volterra ruled from in the seventeen hundreds." Her voice was smooth and professional.

The doors opened with a loud groan and all the tourists piled into the room, most freezing with horror as they saw us here.

Heidi slammed the doors shut.

"And still rule today." She added with a sly smile. There were about a good forty tourists there – two for each person.

If we shared fairly. Which I new would never happen.

Felix pounced onto one of the closest women and bit into her throat, sucking the blood out of her like a popper.

I had had enough time to study the small group – about two seconds before all the humans went berserk and the vampires attacked.

I jumped in and threw a couple down into the hallway leading to the rooms. They, being humans, panicked and ran down there.

This was my second time feeding on humans here with the Volturi – the first time I only got one before they were all gone – it was a small tourist time I was determined to get more.

The couple gestured their three children to run after them. Over all, a sixteen year old boy, a thirteen year old female, a eighteen year old female, a mother who was about forty-three and the father who was forty-eight.

Alec jumped in front of me, going after my kills. My hand shot out and I grabbed his shoulder and shoved him back, a hiss escaping my mouth.

He glared at me and went after a three year old that was sprawled on the floor.

Ugh. My rule: No women, no children. Children as less than the age of ten.

I ran down the corridor, using vampire speed to catch up to the humans and break there necks. In three seconds they were all dead, laying in front of my domain.

They're lucky – at least I don't like to play with my food.

I grabbed the sixteen year old boy and sat down of the cold marble floor, my back pressed to the wall, my knees pulled very close to my chin. Placing his neck on my knees, I then began to drink his sweet blood.

It was like having water after being in the desert for weeks – sweet heaven.

I gulped the blood down, couldn't get enough. Blood started to trickle down the corner of my mouth. When the boy was drained, I threw him towards the wall opposite me with so much force that the body snapped into three.

I reached for the eighteen year old girl and started draining her. She was less tougher than the boy, but more sour.

I heard the footsteps coming my way before I saw them. Alec and Felix heading straight for me. My hood still covered most of my face as I looked up at them while still draining the human.

I snarled when they got within ten meters of my kill, my voice echoing off the walls. I was so thirsty.

"Come on Meladii, you're not going to be able to drink all that by yourself." Felix told me.

I snarled again, still draining the blood of the female, blood still trickling down my chin.

My instincts went haywire as Alec took a step towards me.

"We'll just take the adults. You're going to be full after three Meladii, trust me." Alec tried to persuade me.

He took another step forwards and a dangerous snarl ripped through my teeth, making even me freeze. I lifted my lips from the female and looked up at them, smiling slyly.

They both had froze and were staring at the only part of my face they could see – my chin, which was covering in sweet, sweet blood.

I licked the dribbled of blood running down my mouth.

Another footstep started and stopped near Alec and Felix.

Demetri.

I narrowed my eyes at them all now and answered Alec. "I don't trust any of you." I crooned. "Yet."

I grinned, flashing my fangs before summoning Rhea. She lay near me, studying her nails before looking up at the three males.

That made them back up.

I chuckled evilly and went back to drinking what was rightfully mine. My kill. Mine.

I looked over at the wife and hoisted her up on one arm before throwing her dead body at Felix. "Here!" I offered with a laugh.

Alec caught her and studied the women before looking back at me, suspicion in his eyes.

"No women, no children, alright?"

Alright, how am I going? Yes, no? Good, bad? Ideas, suggestions? Review please : )
