Near To You

Chapter 4

FPOV (Felix)

I was walking down the halls to the throne room. Aro had requested me for a special mission. I reached the doors and pushed them open.

I saw Jane and Alec there in front of the thrown chairs. Aro, Cauis, and Marcus sat tall and mighty in their chairs. Aro motioned me to stand next to Alec.

When I was next the Alec, Aro began speaking, "As you three know, I have an assignment for you. There is a girl in Miami, Florida. She knows about vampires and she is human. I want her either killed or brought back to us. But make sure to give her those options." He said.

"Here," said Caius, handing me a manila folder, "It's everything you need to know about the girl. You are dismissed," his voice was firm, and allowed no questions.

When we all walked out I took a peek at the file. Wow… She was very gorgeous. It looked like the Volturi hacked into her school files and got her address, phone number, and picture. She had long, wavy brown hair that shined. Her chocolate brown eyes were soft, and shined with joy. Her skin was creamy ivory with a delicious blush on her cheeks. I had a hunch that this was going to be a fun assignment.

I was waiting in the airport while Jane and Alec were making car reservations when I smelled it. This scent stuck out from all the humans in the airport. It smelled irresistible.

I looked for whom it belonged to and I saw the girl. Isabella Swan. I looked at her and was shocked. Yes, she was still gorgeous but she looked different from the picture. Her skin was sickly pale and her cheeks held no blush. Her eyes seemed lifeless and full of pain. Her hair hung dull and listless. I could tell she has been through a lot of suffering and hurt.

She seemed to feel my gaze on her and looked up to meet my ruby red eyes. She looked confused for a minute and then she looked positively terrified. Oh, she probably new I was a vampire.

"Bella!" some women called out to her, she looked up and got up to go to her. She stumbled on her way there more times than I can count. Hmm, we have a clumsy one here.

I took one last long look at her, and then went off to find Jane and Alec. I was wondering what was taking them so long. They got a McLaren F1… hmm, fancy.

We headed out to a hotel to stay for a while and come up with a plan to get to Isabella.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

We pulled up to the house where Isabella was living. We ran swiftly to the door, and I forcefully pushed the door open. I heard a clanking noise and a heart speeding up. I carefully sniffed the air and caught her delicious scent coming from the other room. I also smelled the repulsive smell of human food, but that was beside the point. I saw her peek from behind the wall and her eyes widened in terror.

"Ah, Isabella there you are," I said.

"W-w-what do you want?" she stuttered.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you" I reassured, trying not to scare her too much "we just need to talk to you about your knowledge of vampires."

We all walked forward to her and I gripped her arm, trying not to hurt her, and led her to an old looking couch.

"Now, how do you know about vampires?" I questioned, actually curious as to how she knows.

"Um, w-well I was friends with a family of v-v-vampires and they explained everything about vampires" she said quickly, as if scared she would say the wrong thing… she was adorable.

"Hmm…" I said thoughtfully. I wonder which coven is stupid enough to tell this girl our secret.

"Wh-what are you going to do to me?" She asked quietly.

No one answered. A low growl erupted from Jane's chest. Alec put his hands on her shoulders restraining her from pouncing on Isabella. She cringed away from her, wondering what I did wrong.

"Jane, what's wrong?" asked Alec.

"My power isn't working on her," she hissed.

"Wait, what?" I asked. What does she mean by that?

"You heard me," she growled. I wasn't going to push her; she can be very scary… only because of her ability to cause pain mentally. I once asked her to try it on me, I was thinking that it wouldn't hurt because I was so strong, but boy was I wrong.

"Hmm, this is something Aro should know about," said Alec.

"Ok Isabella, I have two choices for you," I started, "One, you could come with us and join the Volturi, or you and your family dies."

Realization dawned in her eyes. I wonder if she knew who the Volturi were exactly.

"I'll come with you, just leave my family alone." She whispered looking down, dejected

"Excellent," I grinned maliciously.
