9. Knight of Volterra - Roxanne's POV
After we'd seen to Alice and Bella Cullen, I told Jane and Felix to take them to Aro. I was on another mission now. They was only one thing I wanted; and for some reason I've just realised how much my body has been calling for him. I wanted Aaron Ashby. So, once I had completed the first mission I lead Alec off to find him. I knew he would be sitting in a tree, with Edward, Emmett, James and Matt: acting as a look out for Bella and Alice.
It didn't take me long to find them, and as Alec and I hid in the shadow of a nearby building I spoke.
'Do you reckon they're under Bella's shield?' As I said this I pointed up at the tree. Alec looked up, before replying.
'It's hard to tell.' When he said this I smiled evilly.
'Take out Edward, Emmett, James and Matt.' Once I'd said this Alec's face fell, I frowned too. 'Alec do it or I'll make you.' At these threatening words Alec set to work using his power. I watched for the effect.
Alec power is rather slow, like when I manipulate the future, but eventually it reached the guys. As it reached them Matt screamed. Edward spoke.
'Alice... Alice if you can see this Alec has found us.' Whilst Edward said this I dashed to grab Aaron: I was up the tree in no time and as I stood there I found a shocked Aaron. Firstly he was confused to what the others where moaning about: then he was shocked at seeing me.
'Roxanne...' As he said this Edward spoke.
'Aaron don't believe her!' This made me grin.
'Alec, will you take Edward, James, Matt and Emmett back to the castle?' After I'd said this I turned to Aaron. 'Hey baby.'
When I spoke to Aaron his face soften up. Edward was still telling him not to believe me, so I pushed Edward out the tree. Then once he was out the way, I stepped towards Aaron. 'You still love me, don't you?' Aaron nodded at this point. I was staring into his eyes, and as I stopped in front of him I wrapped my arms around his neck. I giggled. 'Kiss me then.' As I said this Edward shouted again.
'Don't kiss her Aaron!' Aaron however didn't listen to this and he kissed me passionately.

Edward's POV
Suddenly I lost all feeling throughout my body and the use of my eyes. I knew it was the work of Alec. I could hear Matt screaming out of shock: he didn't seem to be the bravest of vampires. Still, now that I was blinded I had to stay still; otherwise I would have fallen out the tree. I listened for movement.
There was a light swaying of the branch, and it seemed we had been joined by one of the Volturi. However, as I turned to face the direction of the movement Aaron spoke.
'Roxanne...' This shocked me; surely he couldn't have seen her. Unless he's not under Alex's power. In which case this isn't an attack: it a collection mission, and there's only one thing Roxanne would come here for. Aaron.
'Aaron don't believe her!'
This is all I could manage to say. He couldn't believe Roxanne: if she was here for him that means Aro's turning her into The Volturi Princess. He couldn't let her sway him; he'd become part of the process and that would speed up Roxanne's development. So, I kept shouting at him, however as I did someone pushed me out the tree. Once I was out the tree I heard Roxanne speak for the first time, she sounded different: there was more authority in her voice.
'Alec, will you take Edward, James, Matt and Emmett back to the castle?' At this point I started to try and get away, although as I did I heard Roxanne starting to talk to Aaron. Her voice had dropped into the babyish one she uses around Aaron. I knew he wouldn't be able to resist this one. I gave one last shout.
'Don't kiss her Aaron!' Although, I have a feeling it was too late.

Roxanne's POV
Eventually I pulled myself away from Aaron's lips. He just smiled at me.
'Love you.' As he said this I smiled back. By now Alec had disappeared with Matt, James, Emmett and Edward. It was just me and my Aaron standing up the tree. I was still staring into Aaron's eyes, and as I did I spoke softly.
'Would you carry me back to the castle hunni? I feel a bit tired.' When I said this Aaron smiled before lifting me up and carrying me, bridal style, back to the castle. He seemed to know the way, and as I wrapped my arms around his neck I spoke. 'Tell me you love me again.' Once I'd said this he looked at me. He was still smiling.
'I love you Roxanne Tailor.' When he said this I rested my head on his chest. I loved him too.
