Chapter 7 - Secret

I had absolutely no idea how I had got here. Last thing I remember I was in a cold corridor listening to screams and crying. Then the angel came. I must have fainted in shock. He was exactly like he was in my dreams, but better, not that I had been conscious for long enough to have really looked at him. Ugh, trust me. I find the man of my dreams – literally, and I faint.

I sat up in the bed that I had somehow been put in, fully clothed. Again. This was becoming some kind of repeating pattern, I wasn't too happy about it either. I wriggled out of the covers that were constricting me and freed my legs. Directly above my head was a window with drawn curtains over it, I hesitantly touched the material. I heard a small laugh to the side of me.

"So sleeping beauty finally awakens. I was beginning to think you would never wake up," The voice said. It was light, teasing with a lilting Italian accent. I turned in the direction it came from. I could just make out the shadow of a man stood in the doorway.

The shadowy person moved and flicked on a lamp on a small table. A small part of my brain wondered if that lamp was screwed on, too. I inhaled on shock. The angel was smiling at me happily from the doorway his face lit up. He was perfectly beautiful in every way.

"You aren't going to faint on me again, are you?" He asked in a gorgeous accent. I laughed and shook my head, though I did feel dizzy. I didn't want to waste anymore time with him in sleep. I drank in every inch of him, I wondered if I was still dreaming. I didn't care; the angel was still here, beaming at me so wonderfully.

"W- who are you?" I stuttered out, trying to stop my voice from shaking. I was unsettled in the presence of this amazing creature. His smile slipped from his face and I instantly regretted my question. He looked so ashamed and apologetic.

" My name is Demetri. I was the one who brought you here, I'm sorry." He looked up at me with pleading eyes; I was a little confused.

"I'm Natalie. Why are you apologising to me?" My eyebrows pulled down in concentration. Was I missing something painfully obvious that he had done wrong? He looked incredulously at my confused expression.

"Because…Oh Natalie, I've put you in so much danger! You can't comprehend how guilty I am feeling. I wish I had just dropped you at a hotel and ran away," He shook his head sadly. I felt a little confused. " Now I've doomed you, whichever way they decide. Sometimes I am just so stupid." He looked on the verge of tears; he had dropped his eyes to the floor and was staring intently at the stones.

"Who are 'they'?" I asked curiously. "And what are they deciding?"

"The Volturi," He answered simply his voice hopeless.

"What are the 'Volturi'?" I was frustrated now. Who were these people, some kind of Mafia?

Then he told me, everything. About the Volturi, about vampires and about what they were deciding. No wonder he felt guilty – death or an eternity as a vampire. I wasn't sure how I felt about becoming a vampire, I would be beautiful and able to stay with Demetri forever. But I was a little concerned about the whole drinking human blood thing.

"So, let me get this straight, if I become I vampire, with you and these Volturi guys – then I have to drink human blood? What will happen if I don't?" I asked, slightly disgusted.

"Yes you will have to. If you don't, you will go mad for blood and massacre more humans than necessary to sate your thirst." He must have been able to read my face so easily. "It is not as bad as you think, Natalie. Humans eat meat, do they not?" I nodded, confused at were this conversation was going.

"So you are killing. Every time you eat meat the animal that the meat is from has been killed. You have ended its life, simply because you are higher up in the food chain. Don't you see? The vampires drink from the humans, the humans eat the cows' etc. That is how nature works."

When he put it like that, it made sense. They killed so that they would not kill more than necessary; blood was their fuel, their energy. Just like when humans ate meat the animal was killed, when a vampire drank blood the human died. I was amazed at how guilty I felt, we killed far more than we needed too.

He saw my sad smile and knew I understood.

"You see? We are not so horrific after all." He grinned at me and my heart stopped for a moment. I guess I had made my choice.

Pretty please review! If we make 20 reviews I will do a double update, either today or tomorrow! :D
