I've spent about five years so far with the Cullens. They were nice and I liked them. I'm just tired of animal blood. I told them that I was going to leave. Carlisle was fine with that. Edward was honestly glad-I know I know, he's rude. And Esme was sad I was leaving but was glad I was doing what my heart wanted. Which is sort of ironic right? Because we don't have a heart as a vampire.
Carlisle suggested that I should go live with the Volturi. The Volturi are like the royalty for our kind. They bring peace to the world. They keep us secret and if a vampire fails to follow the laws they get executed before they can try anything sneaky.
"I would like to speak to Aro please." I said to the office lady-clearly human I can hear her heartbeat.
"Umm...Jane is Master busy?" the office lady asked a small girl standing behind me.
"Yes he's in a meeting that shouldn't be interrupted." The girl-Jane-said. "What do you need."
"Well I was wondering if I could join the Volturi."
"Why should you? Do you have any gifts?"
"Umm...I can read everyone's mind from anywhere. From people all over the world."
"Really? That's cool! If I made the decisions you would be in. But I don't. But I will talk to Aro and discuss you joining us."
"Thank you."
I waited in the lobby area while Jane talked to Aro.
"Come in here." Jane said leading me into a big room. It was really pretty.
"So Jane has already stated her claim why she wants you to join and now I want to here yours." A tall, lean figure with papery skin said. "Let me see your hand." I already knew. Aro can read minds as well but he has to have a physical touch with you and then he can hear all the thoughts you've ever had.
"Wow it's very interesting that you can hear anyone's thoughts from anywhere. Welcome to the guard. This is Jane. She will show you to your quarters."
"Thank you."
I wonder if she can stay with me in my quarters. Jane thought.
"Of course Claire. What is it Jane?" He asked holding out his hand. She put her hand on his. "Oh I see of course she can! It will help her get to know you!"
Really!
"Of course! Now go show her where you will be staying."
"Ok so Claire right?"
"Yep"
"Ok this is my quarter and you can stay with me. If you want."
"Of course."
"Yay! The only person I have to a friend is my twin brother Alec."
I nodded. "Do you have any gifts?" I asked her though I knew the answer right as she thought it.
"Yes actually. My brother and I are the top of the Volturi's guard offensive system. I can manipulate people's minds and cause them pain. Not physically though only mentally. And Alec can take away all your senses. So you can't feel, see, hear anything. Everything's blank to that person. We don't have anything else to do today so we can chat and get to know each other."
"Cool. That sounds fun."
"Who created you?"
"Um...Carlisle Cullen. I'm pretty sure."
"He's Aro's best friend. All Aro ever talks about. How long were you with him?"
"Five years maybe. Who created you?"
"Um Aro actually created me. Eleazar had seen Alec and my power if we were a vampire. Eleazar can see other vampire's powers even if they're humans. He was with the Volturi when they found Alec and me. But Aro changed us."
"Wait so how does Aro know Carlisle?"
"Carlisle used to be apart of the Volturi. He never drank human blood though. No matter how hard Aro, Caius, and Marcus tried to get him to."
"oh." There was a know at the door.
"Sister" A boy no older than Jane said opened the door. "I hear you talking and was wondering who you were talking to."
"Oh Alec. This is Claire. She just joined us today."
"Oh, hello Claire is it? I'm Alec, Jane's twin brother." Alec said.
"Hello Alec." I said.
Years passed when I was with everyone. I loved Jane and Alec like my family. I felt comfortable around Aro, Caius, and Marcus. I fit in fine.
