I went back into the room to wake them up. At least it was around seven by now. "Guys you need to get up! I know your still tired but I have to go see Aro and I don't trust Felix. Aro wants both of you there anyway." They got out of bed and got dressed. Jessica was nervous. "Don't worry Jessica. I'll keep you and your brother safe."
"I know Destiny. Last night you saved us when you could have let us die. It would have made your life easier. But you didn't. I trust you with our lives Destiny. I'm not afraid of you anymore. You are not a monster but a very kind person.
"Thank you!" I whispered to her. She smiled in response. After that we left quickly so we wouldn't be late. We got there about five minutes early, but Aro was still irritated at how long we had taken.
"You called for me master?" I addressed him politely.
"Yes, Destiny I would like to know what your powers are." Aro commanded.
"I'm an empath and telekinetic, and I can halt anyone's mental attack and have it work on them instead of me." As I had listed off each new thing the vampires around me had grown shocked and wary. Aro on the other hand was ecstatic.
"You will do just fine for what we have in store for you."
"What are you going to have me do master?" I was curious now.
"You are going to help us in the coming war and to eliminate the Cullens of coarse!"
What the FUCK is he thinking??!?!?!?! I was with the Cullens before he took me and they helped me when I went back to my old town. Now I'm supposed to kill them!! Jessica get Justin and get behind me! She did as she was told sensing a fight just as surely as I did. Alexandra. I know you don't really know me, but we could be really good friends. If you trust me at all I'm going to need your help! Please if you believe me come over here. This could be dangerous. I warned her. She rolled her eyes and walked to my side.
"I'm sorry master. I can't do that. You see the Cullens are my friends." I replied in a sweet yet threatening way. Aro looked surprised.
"Destiny, I didn't ask if you wanted to I said you were going to help us." He responded in the same tone I had used.
"Well I said I'm not." My eyes were flashing dangerously now.
"Destiny, your charges would not appreciate being injured because of you."
"I never said I would let you hurt them now did I master?" The last word came out in a snarl. Aro was livid. Alexandra tensed next to me.
"Fine. Have it your way. Mark, Felix, go retrieve the children. Alexandra get away from her!" I growled at them savagely. Alexandra stayed where she was.
"Over my dead body! Don't forget what I told you last time Felix… Mark!" I reminded them quietly. Felix was scared to come anywhere near me. Mark was feeling many things. His feelings confused me.
"Destiny, just do what they say." He whispered softly.
"Why should I listen to you? You made me think you were there to help me and then you betrayed me! I hate you!" I screamed at him.
"Felix! I said get the children!" Aro was irritated now too. Felix started towards me, slipping into a crouch.
Watch for anyone else. I'll watch the kids and handle Felix. Alexandra nodded in agreement. Stay behind me!
O.k. Destiny.
I leaned forward into a defensive position. Mark started forward as well and Alexandra stepped forward to block him. Then Felix attacked me. He was trying to knock me away from the humans. His strategy was clear in his mind. I lashed out kicking and punching him. I managed to grab hold of him and I flung him into the wall again. Then he was back. Dodging side-to-side trying to find a hole in my defenses.
So this is what the battle was like for Edward during Eclipse. But Edward's a mature vampire that has trained and knows how to fight. What am I going to do? I thought worriedly. Meanwhile Felix is trying to maim me. I still wasn't at full strength. I mean I had healed Bella and myself. I looked over at Alexandra's fight quickly and I saw that her fight was even closer. Mark was about to win. I grabbed Felix around the waist surprising even myself and through him into Mark. Who was about 5 yards away. Although I had taken care of those two I knew more would come and we would lose.
Jessica come closer. I am going to pretend to agree with them. I am going to have to do something I hate. I'm sorry Jessica but when the rest of the guard returns I am going to feed just like everybody else. Jessica?
Yes Destiny?
How apposed are you to you and your brother becoming vampires. You wouldn't have to feed on humans and you would be safe. The choice is yours I won't force you.
She thought about that for a second. Do what you think is best. I trust your judgment and I want Justin to be safe. I nodded to show I had understood and then went straight into my act. I hung my head in defeat.
"Alexandra just come over here. It's no use. There's too many of them." I said hopelessly. She caught on and dragged her feet as she came. I then looked up at Aro. "I am sorry master for my behavior. I will help you with the war. I'll even stop being a vegetarian vampire. There is no way for me to beat you." I hung my head at the last part letting sorrow creep into my tone. Aro was impressed.
"You are right you can't beat us. The guards will be here momentarily. Now you will be able to prove you are now a true vampire!" The guards walked in then followed by over a hundred people.
"I want Destiny to go first and alone. Everyone else must wait!" Aro ordered.
Alexandra watch the kids for me. I can't believe I'm about to do this!! I sunk into
my hunting crouch and slunk forward. Trying hard not to think about what I was doing I bit the closest human and drained him. After I was done I stepped back to my place in front of Jessica. By now all the other humans were screaming and everyone else was drinking their fill. I was disgusted with myself. I had just killed a human. But it was to save two other humans. I was so confused. Watching the carnage that involved my own feeding was terrible. A few times someone tried to feed off the kids, but once they saw me they backed off. Afterwards I just wanted to get out of here. The kids had seen far more than I had ever wanted them to.
"Master is it alright if I leave?" I asked.
"Yes you can. Destiny my child." The words were barely out of his mouth before I had turned around and started to lead Jessica and Justin away.
Alexandra, get away when you can come meet me in my room.
