"Stop them!" I heard Edward cry out, I saw Tanya and Kate lurch forward trying to get to Caius to avenge their sisters death.
Tanya was contained but Kate was unstoppable, she shocked everyone who touched her and kept going.
"Zafrina!" Edward called
Kate paused for a millisecond but continued running blindly using her other senses to get to Caius, she was going to get everyone killed.
"Shit!" I cursed running after her, taking off my glove and touching her exposed wrist once I was close to her, she gasped for breath then passed out. I let go of her immediately and she fell into my arms.
There was a surprised gasp by everyone in the clearing, I knew why, they were thinking what type of power I could possibly have to have a vampire, an immortal being, pass out?
I hurried into the formation of the others, bringing Kate with me.
"Don't worry she's not dead, she'll be awake in exactly 3 seconds" I told Tanya and Eleazar and once those 3 seconds were up, Kate awoke gasping for breath in the arms of her sister.
"My god, Edward I did not see this interesting creature in your thoughts, hiding her from me?" Aro asked in awe staring at me.
"That is my fault please do not blame Edward, I altered his thoughts so they would blank me out" I explained before Edward could say anything
"Fascinating" was all Aro stated still staring at me and I finally looked into his eyes, they held longing and interest.
"Aro" Caius said bringing Aro out of whatever thoughts were going through his mind.
"Yes, yes so just to be thorough I'd like to speak to a few of your witnesses. Procedure, you know." He waved a dismissive hand.
There was a hiss from Edward before Aro spoke to Amun first asking him questions and then Amun excused himself and his mate, hurrying away and out of sight, I knew they wouldn't stop until they were far enough from here, coward.
Next he went to Siobhan asking her questions and hinting things until he finally got to his point.
"How can we know she will not pose a threat to us, how can we know what she will become? Do you have proof of what she will grow into my dear friends?" He asked
"We do, we have another just like her" Edward claimed then looked at me, I nodded to him stepping into the middle of the Volturi and our group. I let my shield down letting them hear my irregular heartbeat and there was another gasp and many hisses.
"Well, well my dear you are full of surprises aren't you" Aro spoke coming closer to me.
"We have seen what a single touch from you could do to things like us, can you turn it off and on as you please?" he asked now standing in front of me.
"No, my touch will always do harm there is no controlling it, I was born with this power and I am the only one who has it"
"Hmm how long would it take you to touch someone for them to be severely hurt?"
"If I'm touching them for more than 2 minutes it will kill them?"
What was this man getting at, surely he wasn't thinking of touching me to read my thoughts was he? Could he be so curious of my power?
"May I?" he asked holding out his hand
"Aro!" Caius said sharply and Aro waved a nonchalant hand towards him.
I looked at his hand and then into his eyes.
"If you insist" I said taking my glove off, and then hesitantly slid my hand into his, I was waiting for the pain that I usually get from receiving a new power and I was waiting for my power to start affecting him but nothing happened.
I gasped, what was wrong with my powers, was I broken? What is going on?! Then I thought about it, the prophecy from long ago that the seer had foretold.
"4 will be able to touch the skin without risk of being harmed" she said to me
It was then that I realized that Aro would be able to see this also, we both looked in each other's eyes at the same time and I snatched my hand out of his, cradling it as if I was burned.
"Interesting, so very interesting" he exclaimed
"So is this all of your proof" he continued referring to me.
"No, we have more, Alice why don't you join us!" I called and they all came running.
A chorus of Alice's name came from everyone's lips, shocked. The little pixie girl came into the clearing along with the others stopping right next to me, giving me a smile.
"So you found them" I smiled
"I told you I would"
I stepped back and let the other half-immortals explain themselves, I zoned out until another question was asked, this time by Caius.
"Your daughter is she venomous?" he asked Bella
"No" she answered smoothly
"And what about you?" Caius asked me this time
"Yes" I answered hesitantly contemplating on lying but I knew Aro had seen that I was.
"Well it is not decided on gender if one is venomous or not" he stated
"Brother there appears to be no danger here, this is unusual but they are much like us, it appears" Aro said
"Is that your vote?" Caius hissed out
"It is" Aro turned to his guard
"We do not fight today dear ones" he spoke and they all nodded in unison swiftly straightening up and one after the other they departed. Caius and Marcus along with the wives were already drifting away leaving Aro behind with his personal guard.
He spoke his apologies to Carlisle all the while glancing at me, right before he left he gave one last longing look back at me and I looked at him confused. Then remembered that he liked to collect new gifts and he was very interested in mine, which meant this would not be the last time I would be seeing the Volturi, not the last time at all.
"Is it really over?" Bella asked
"Yes" Edward and I answered at the same time.
It took a second but cheers erupted all around, hugging and kissing went on within the covens and I stood there taking all the happiness in, smiling that now they could have their forever and no one would be taking anyone away from their loved ones.
It was then that I was tackled with hugs, making sure not to make contact with anyone's skin of course but I realized then that I had gained more family during this and I couldn't be happier.
Crazy chapter right?!
Aro and Sorrow finally met yay, now this story can finally kickoff!
