Mission to discard newborns and a Not so Touching Reunion

Lelia Maria Swan

June 15th, 2006. Friday

Jane, Felix, Demetri, and Alec had been sent out by Aro to see what was causing a ruckus in Seattle. They had came back to report that it was a army of newborns feeding upon humans. I was officially Caius' guard now with a grudge.

I wore a long-sleeve lace dress with gray high heels. Not to mention with a black Patrizia Pepe Denim jacket, and a bit of black makeup on my eyes. Aro looked to me "Lelia my dear, would you please switch places with Alec for this? He has not fed for a while."

Nodding, I immediately walk over to the small group who looked at me with pride. I rolled my eyes and we ran out at vampire speed. I immediately knew where we were going. Washington, Forks. Running across water was thrilling.

I was sure-footed and fast. Once we entered the state, I immediately smelled wet dog. I growled but it was conquered by the wind. We slowed to a normal human walk when we were only a few minutes from a smoke-filled clearing.

"This place smells like a wet dog.." I mumbled. Felix let out a chuckle before shutting up as we appeared in the clearing. The Cullens were there with Bella clinging to Edward. I narrowed my violet eyes.

"Jane, Felix, Demetri. Who is your new member and why are you here?" Carlisle said cautiously.

Jane ignored him, her crimson eyes blazing "It is truly outstanding that a small coven can wipe out an army of newborns."

"I asked you a question Jane." Carlisle stated.

"Do you really not know her?" Demetri spat out. The Cullens eyed me, not able to figure out whom, not even Bella. I had changed so much. "She is Lelia Maria Swan, now Lelia Volturi." He finished.

"Lelia?!" Bella gasped. I growled at her before shutting up

"Why do I smell wet dog on all of you? More importantly you Bella." I said without emotion as I scanned the forest for any bulky wolves.

I was ignored but the Volturi heard and narrowed their eyes. Before Jane calmly stated while tilting her head innocently "You missed one."

The Cullens turned, revealing a brown-haired newborn. "She had no choice." Esme pleaded.

"The Volturi does not give second chances. You know that already." Jane simply said before looking to me "Lelia?"

I used my manipulation power and she immediately came forward shivering, eyes wide. I used my powers of pain on her. She fell to the ground, clawing at her head and screaming. The Cullen's winced. "Stop!" Carlisle said almost frantic.

Stopping and walking over, I grabbed her head and tore it off before setting her on fire. My eyes turned violet once more and I walked back over to the other three and raised a brow "Are we permitted to leave yet?"

"Yes, we are. Our job is done." Felix answered.

We turned to leave but Bella stopped me "Lelia!" I turned my head 90 degrees, not looking at the Cullens but at the forest.

"What?" I said half-grieving that I had this life of executing vampires.

"Leave the Volturi and join us! Where was the bubbly fun sister I had?" She pleaded.

"That life is long gone Bella." I growled, thinking about Caius. We had slowly became a bit closer. Athenodora was murdered by Caius for some bizarre reason. Didyme and Sulpicia were locked in a tower.

"It isn't. They can't hold you back Lel." Edward said.

"You have no idea what happened. I have no reason to trust you people anymore. You abandoned me. Sacrificed me because Bella's life is more important." I spat out before turning my head again and continuing to walk until something warm grasped my cold hand.

I hissed and turned around only to see Bella looking disheveled with a lingering scent of blood. I held my breath "What do you want? If there is nothing of the matter, leave me be as I only turned a few days ago."

"Lelia, please don't leave me! Jacob left me already... please, not another best friend." She looked desperate. Demetri, Jane, and Felix waited for me at the edge of the forest.

I ripped my hand out of her grasp "Best friend? How about a sister." I snarled before running vampire speed towards the Volturi and they nodded, running along with me. We were soon headed back to Volterra with the Cullens and Bella calling me to come back.

They had abandoned me. I deem no reason to return back to Forks.
