I am so, so, so sorry for not updating sooner. But I do have an excuse. I started high school this year and it's taking over my life. Like I have school most of the day. I spend some time on my homework and the rest is my "me" time. Sure some times I write, but I don't even have time to read.
I set my foot on the marble floor inside the castle. Before I could enjoy the scenario around me, I saw blurry. Somehow I ended up pinned to the wall.
I met eyes with red crimson red eyes. I imagined them to be like this, red in their eyes; beauty in every place. How I wish I could. As if they could read my mind like Edward does to others. The same male vampire that had stayed behind with my twin sister and the Cullens dragged me at impossible speed.
He threw me roughly in a chair, not with enough strength to break anything, but enough to feel the burning sensation. I thought I heard Bella crying 'no'. Maybe she did care about me. Then again it could be any of the Cullens in trouble and she'd be grieving for them, not me.
"My, my, my. I didn't know there was another Bella in town." A new voice said. The vampire had chalky pale skin as if he was made of dust. He was wearing something different from others. He must be the leader.
"No I'm Della. She's Bella." I corrected him. He stared at me, silencing my mouth.
" I know she's Bella. Right Bella dear." The leading vampire asked.
"Yes, Aro. Yes we have." Bella sighed, keeping her eyes locked fiercely on him.
"My, you Cullens have gathered quite a human clan." Aro joked. " First lovely Bella. Now Della? Is she captured in love also?"
"No, Aro, my friend. As you could see she's Bella's twin." Carlisle said soothingly.
"You see Della. You have known too much for a human." Aro said.
What are they talking about? Can't humans know about vampires? Are they so into keeping their myth alive? Or do they not want humans to fawn over these gorgeous creatures.
"Bella knows about vampires also." I defended. How dare he takes Bella but not me in.
"Oh contraire. Bella's getting changed after her graduation. It was a deal, right Edward?" He asked, looking at Edward. Who kept his lips in a straight line, piecing his eyes at Aro.
"Now, Now Edward. You promised or will you want Bella to be killed right now?" Aro asked still facing Edward.
"What to do with you Della dear? Killed, or changed?" Aro asked me.
"NO!!!" Bella exclaimed. I've never felt that she cared for me so much. Even though we just met, she made us seem as if we were sisters since the beginning.
"Well. Then Killing it is." Aro implied.
His eyes were pitch black, and he was looking at me interdentally. His head came closer and closer. Slowly, as if he were trying to torture me. I instructively tilled my head back, allowing him access to my neck. He placed kisses, before diving in. His teeth razor sharp, cutting through my skin in one smooth bite. I could feels the blood coursing though me, making up for the lost of others. But however my blood flows, he still sucks it dry.
Before long, the blackness started taking over. I could feel heat coursing through my veins. My life story flashed before me. Me being born, my first birthday, my first birthday, my first best friend, my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my graduation. Etc. The things in life that matter were flashing before my eyes. It like this is how you remember you past before you will remember nothing at all.
The most vivid ones would have to be these couple of weeks, days. Who's counting? Meeting the Cullens, missing my friends, family, and boyfriend. Especially meeting my twin sister. The one who's so alike, yet so different from me, Bella.
It could have been hours or days for all I know. But when I woke up, I was relieved. Relieved that the pain was gone. I'd thought I'd be in Heaven or Hell. However when I woke, I found myself staring at the same ceiling as it was in the castle of Volterra. Talk about déjà vu. It was as if I was in a dream, no in a nightmare.
"Morning Beautiful." A smooth voice whispered to me. I could have sworn I had an after life. My eyes were so good at hearing everything. My eyes were like microscopes. I could see everything so clearly. When I turned to see who had talked to me. I met eyes with Felix, the one in which had first been introduced. I nearly jumped when I saw him. How was he going to kill me now? Didn't I live the pain already?
"What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice sounding sooth and pure, as if it were velvet. I was alerted at everything and anything there was around me.
"I saved you, techniqually." Felix told me.
"How so?" I raised my eyebrow.
"Well…"
Felix's POV
I just made it in time to see Aro cupping his teeth against my beloved's neck. His eyes were the color of the black caps we had to wear. As a guard, I was to not fight my Master. But how could I just stand here watch her, the one that I loved be changed by another man. It sounded as if she cheated on me before we even started.
I know that this was true love; this was the real deal. The way our eyes it seemed as if we were connected as one, as if our brains were synchronized with each other. I remembered her beautifully shaded brown eyes that bore into mine each time we see each other. Her hair so wavy and silky that she seemed like she walked out from a Pantene commercial. The brown hair with lighter streaks to give her a pre-adult vibe. This was definitely no Bella. Because I, Felix, has finally found some one I loved for eternity.
I jumped out to push Aro out of the way; I could not let him drink all the blood. As soon as I smelled her blood, my eyes turned the same shade of black. I had to keep control. If Edward could do it, why couldn't I? Then again, I'm selfish, I wanted Della to be a vampire to live with me for eternity.
We brought her to a guest room where she laid screaming out her pain. At times I couldn't endure it, it was just too painful, to hear her in so much pain, to see her like that.
Della's POV
"So you love me?" I asked shocked. I just listened to his entire scene as if it was a book. I was genuinely interested.
"Of course I do." He said, brushing my fallen hair out of my face. He came to sit beside me, wrapping his strong embrace around me.
"Can you say it?" I asked, my eyes boring into his.
"Say what love?" He replied killing my now flawless forehead.
"Say that you love me," Sure I had boyfriends, but in all the years I've been dating. Not once have I had a man say he loved me.
"Okay. Della, my love. My dear beauty, your are my life. I love you. Will you marry me?" He said. Wait what did he just say? Did he ask me to marry him?
"Wha-wha-what?" I stuttered, I just asked for a simple I love you. A proposal was something I'd never expected.
"Of course I will." I replied, my dead heart fluttered like blossoming butterflies. I am getting married to the man of my dreams. How could I ever be unhappy again? Then I remembered, I had a boy friend back at home, my parents, my life.
Felix must've sensed my uneasiness. He squeezed my hands. And that was just enough to calm me down.
"Don't worry Dells, we'll explain everything to everyone once you get back home. Then I want you to come live with me here, and to join the guard." The guard? They expected me to fight.
"I don't know, I don't really like the whole guard thing." I confessed.
"Della, please for me. You'll love it. You'll love Volturi. It's just I can't leave. Aro will never let me live my eternity down."
"Fine for you."
" I love you." He said those exact words.
"I love you too."
It seemed as if we were thinking the same thing. Our cold lips so soft against each our. We moved as one in sync. This was the best kiss I ever had. Mostly because I, Della, was sharing it with the love of my life, Felix.
