As the doors opened, I struggled more in the boy's strong grasp. I kicked my legs and flailed my arms. My hair was going everywhere. His grip got tighter and tighter on my arms trying to steady me.
"let me go you bastard", I shouted loudly trying to prevent him from entering in where ever that large door led. "No"
"I afraid I can not do that", Alec purred. "They are expecting you"
"They can go to hell for all I care" I shouted once again.
"Hmmm hell what a hot place"
"yeah go there" I struggled.
The boy entered the room, his hands still attached to my arms. I looked down not wanting to see those whom I was to meet. His hands left my arms, then came crashing upon my back pushing me forward. My knees gave in from the force that pushed me and I landed on the ground falling onto the palms of my hands to support myself. I lifted my head up to see who was before me, but my hair fell into my face. Strange slender fingers touched my hair and moved it from my eyes.
"Who is this girl you bring, Demetrie" asked the baritone voice. "This is not Bella"
I looked up to see where the fingers came from. The man was dressed in a black cloak with long black hair pulled away from his face. His eyes wide with excitement.
"Bella's Cousin Acacia"
"Please girl stand up" the man insisted.
I slowly pushed myself up from the cold marble floor in shock of his his presence. My knees buckled and I fell again making my hair fall into my face again. I had been through too much and needed some serious sleep.
Someone grasped my arms and pulled me up. Alec.
"Don't touch me" I growled.
"Let her go" another voice spoke. The voice was cold as ice and careless.
With the order the hands left my arms and the support I once was receiving vanished. it was lucky that I didn't fall.
"Yes Caius" Alec spoke.
Caius? The leader with out power? I flipped my hair out of my eyes. I finally got a better look at where I was and those who were before me. The room was full of light, dull light. Everything looked to be marble and made of stone. Three chair sat before me where only two were occupied, the one in the middle was without it's person. I assumed the chair was vampire's before me looking with curious eyes.
"Bella's cousin, you don't say" The man spoke.
"Yes Aro, Bella's cousin Acacia" Demetrie made known. "She has the exact same gift as Bella, but can resist more gifts than her"
"Really" The man named Aro clasped his hands together. "Are you sure"
"Alice can not see her" Felix interrupted. "She can not have visions of her"
"Really?" Aro asked walking toward me. "And Edward?"
"He can not read her mind nor can I sense her mind" Demetrie continued.
"Interesting" Aro purred. "My dear girl Acacia come here"
"I rather not" I whispered wrapping my arms around my body to cover myself up. My clothing was torn and I looked terrible at the moment. What I would do just to be able to take a shower at this moment.
"I shall do no harm to you" He smiled.
Then it hit me. The man before me had eyes of rubies, his irises were blood red. And I knew not to trust those with red eyes. well not really, but his eyes did make him look fierce and not in a good way. The man slowly extend out his hand toward me.
"Please" he demanded in a soft tone. "I want to try something, it will not harm you"
"You wont be able to know anything about me just by the touch of your hand" I frowned taking a few steps back.
"What makes you so sure about that" he purred.
"I just know it" I shouted unwrapping my arms. "Apparently vampire gifts do not work on me."
"Might as well have a try" he gestured.
Finally caving in I extended my right hand out, I wanted to look up at the other two rulers, but for some reason I was too afraid to know what they looked like, to see their red eyes.
His grasp was gentle, he did not squeeze my palms. I heard him take a few breaths as he closed his eyes.
"Nothing" he sighed. "Absolutely nothing"
"Fascinating", spoke a new voice. My eyes instantly went towards the voice. It was a man with somewhat long dark hair. His face looked somewhat sad, but calm and mellow. My eyes jerked to the other vampiric leader to the right of me. There he was sitting in one of the massive chairs scowling at the world I suppose. Long blond hair brushed back, it almost matched his skin. Pursing full lips and prominent cheek bones, cheek bones of a royal or an aristocrat I presumed. Dressed in fine black clothing with a scarf draped around his neck. Perhaps that was Caius, though the Cullens never gave me a description of what the leaders look like I just had this feeling it was. I'm guessing the angry expression upon his smooth pale face did not give it away.
Realizing I was staring the blond vampire's eyes widen in an even more nasty, vile, hatred look. He opened his lips and a small growl escaped. My eyes dropped from his gaze. I would not want to mess with this guy.
"Jane" Called Aro. "Come here dear"
"Yes Aro"
The short hooded figure that was standing against the wall slowly walked toward Aro and I. She dropped her hood to expose that she was nothing more than a young girl. Her eyes were also red.
"Now this may or may not hurt you Acacia" Aro gestured for jane to get closer. "Jane"
"Yes Aro"
"Now"
Her eyes locked on mine and a smirk appeared on here lips.
"Pain"
I instantly gripped the roots of my hair to ready myself for more pain but nothing happened. I released my hair and opened my eyes to see Aro staring at me.
"What" I asked.
"She would make a great addition to the Guard", spoke Demetrie.
"I agree" spoke the other dark hair vampire.
"Marcus do you really think so" asked Aro
"Yes" So that was Marcus.
"Oh no" I shouted. "No, you are going to let me go, now!"
"Can we work something out my dear"
"No" I shout shaking my head.
"I can always go back and fetch your cousin" smirked Demetrie.
"No" I whispered. "Just let me go"
"She knows too much" The one called Caius stated dully. "She is a liability, we can not let her go"
"I wont be a liability" I shouted toward Caius. His eyes went wide.
"It is law my dear" Marcus stated.
"And how do any of you have the right to make these laws" I questioned pointing at each ruler. "To rule over all? There has to be millions of vampires all over the planet, who gave the three of you the power to make such laws over the human race? You rule vampires remember"
Caius stood up from his chair and quickly walked down the steps toward me. His lips were purse again.
"Caius no" shouted Aro. "She is much too important to us"
"Aro I will not tolerate some child's nonsense on things she does not understand" Caius spat.
"Some child?" I asked. "I'm no child and you all know I am right, so let me go now"
I walked toward the door.
"That is not going to happen" Alec cut in jumping in front of the door. "You know once you become a vampire I can see us being great friends"
"All of you shut you mouthes" Aro ordered.
"wait what?" I questioned placing my hands back into the mass of hair on my head I was getting a worse head ache. I should have taken the pain killers. "I will not be turned into any vampire"
"Not now" spoke Caius walking toward me.
"Not now" I asked. "Not ever" I challenged him taking a step backward.
"My dear Acacia, all of us can benefit from this" Aro spoke.
"How can all of us benefit from this?" I questioned taking more steps back.
"My dear you can live forever and have your gifts" Aro was trying to persuade me. "and be apart of the Volturi, all the vampires in the world shall fear you, your life will be bliss"
"A life of killing just to survive" I questioned laughing. "That's real bliss alright"
"Aro shut this annoyance up before I do" Caius spoke again.
"And you" I pointed toward Caius who was only about a foot away from me. "You are just angry at the world because you are without any vampire gifts, what a shame, and I human can resists any power"
"Acacia" Aro interrupted . "How do you know so much"
"Right you are my lady" Caius purred with a devilish smirk. "I am without power, yet I still hold more power than you ever will, I still have the power to snap your fragile neck or drain you of your every drop"
"You wouldn't", I began to feel the air escaping my lungs. I was frightened. I kept on taking more steps backwards. It was really funny how no one was going to stop him. oh wait they want me to be a vampire.
"I can not deny the fact your blood smell appetizing" He purred stepping closer and closer. "To turn you into a vampire, I would not, but too kill you, with pleasure I will!"
"Caius you are terrifying the young lady" Aro placed a hand upon Caius's shoulder stopping him from stepping any closer. His eyes went into slits and his lips were pursed together again.
"I rather do more than terrify her"
"Jealousy" I spat. "Your jealous"
"I would advise you to stop edging him on my dear or your death will come sooner" Aro assured me.
"But that's his problem" I shouted weakly. "Why is he leader if he had no power anyway"
Was this really any of my business?
Shaking out of Aro's grasp Caius instantly appeared before me. One of his cold hands latched onto my neck lightly instantly slamming into the stone wall. My back would be covered in bruises soon. No one helped me. The blond vampire lent down to my left ear.
"Would you like me to take your life here and now" He whispered. My heart fell and I could not breath. "The pain will hurt and I will make sure of that"
"Go to hell" I breathed kicking him in the leg.
"That will not effect me" he laughed. He actually laughed I could have sworn his face was stuck in a permanent scowl.
"That's the only power you have over me me, the normal vampiric gifts of breaking bones and draining me of my blood" I laughed through his grip around my neck. "The fact that you can kill me like any other being on this planet"
"Caius let the girl go" Marcus walked over and placed a hand on Caius's shoulder. "You have to"
Caius's hand left my throat, but then latched onto one of my arms. With in seconds I went flying into the air and landed on the floor with a loud thud. I didn't move I was afraid I had broken something.
"Now why did you do that Caius?" asked Aro worryingly.
I heard foot steps of boots against the marble floor, then a loud slam of the large door. With in the seconds of the door being slammed some grabbed my arms gently and pulled me off the ground.
"Kid you need to watch your mouth" Felix had picked me up.
"The kindness" I asked lightly laughing then turning into crying.
"Don't think of it as kindness" he smiled. "I'm taking you to a guest room where you can rest, clean up and change, but I will warn you Aro and the others will want to speak with you when ever you waken"
"Can't you all just kill me and get it over with and I don't mean turn me I mean kill me kill me"
"You're funny" He laughed.
"And your fucking scary" I mumbled, my head went back with a flash of pain shot through my whole body. "I don't want any of this, I just want you all to leave my cousin alone"
Way later....about a day or two....
It was soft, the surface I was laying upon. Was this heaven and was I asleep on a big fluffy cloud. My hands gripped the surface to reveal that it was a comforter and I was laying on top of a bed.
My eyes crept open to the dull lighting of the room. A room with a very tall ceiling that came to a point at the top. Moving my arms up and back I pushed myself up to cause myself pain. I was sore, really sore, sore to the point that I did not want to move, but I had to. I looked down to see I was still in the clothing I wore the two days ago. It took two day, just two days to end up here.
"I took the liberty to send someone to stock up you room while you were a sleep" It was jane. "Do not fear me I hold no control over you"
She walked toward me and placed a hand on my forehead. Shaking her head she frowned.
"You have a small temperature" her red eyes locked on me. "I can tell you this, I have no future telling power, but we are going to be close one day"
Her expression was serious.
"You will rule one day"
"What" I croaked.
"I can tell you will hold great power some day"
"That is a deranged thought, I will not hold any power"
She gently grasped my shoulder and helped me off the cushioned bed. I looked down to see it was a blood red comforter with many pillows to match.
"You will" she ushered me toward a small room. "Her take a shower and when you come out I will help you dress, Aro wants to speak with you soon and you must be hungry"
"I don't have any clothing to change into" I turned back toward her.
"I will set out some clothing for you"
I looked at her strangely.
"Alright" I wasn't going to refuse someone helping me, even if she did try to hurt me or more specifically bring the illusion of pain upon me.
"I will be out here when you are finished"
I was in the shower for a while. Washing all of the mud out of my hair and off my body to almost half a bottle of body wash. I scrubbed my hair and my face clean. Then rinsed off of course. Grabbing the towel that hung up on the shelf I stepped out into the really nice bathroom. It was all stone with a huge porcelain modern shower with a tub to the left of it. The bath room counter was huge with two sinks. Laying on the counter was a brush and under garments. I grabbed the brush an ran it through my hair then parting it on the side. I had to let it dry naturally, like I had any choice. Then quickly I dressed in the under garments.
I stepped out of the bath room in my towel.
Jane sat on the bed with her hands in her lap. She looked over toward me then smiled. Then with a flash she held a pile of clothing in her hands.
"It's a dress, a coat, a pair of tights, and a pair boots"
Jane helped me get dress since I was sore, it wasn't awkward I was actually surprised how not awkward the situation was. It was strange how I was not afraid of Jane anymore, though her eyes were still blood red and still as fierce as ever.
"You are to talk with Aro again today"
I nodded and looked into the full length mirror that hung up on the wall. I looked like them, I looked as if I was apart of the volturi. My pale skin against my bright red wavy locks. The black dress fit me perfect by stopping right at the knee, the creme tights made the dress look elegant. The boots brought the whole outfit together nicely. The clothing looked expensive.
"You will be a fine addition to the Volturi one day Acacia" Jane joined me in facing the mirror. "This is where you belong"
Was this wear I belonged?
A little bit later....
The sound Jane and my boots against the marble flooring of the hallway was loud, very loud almost too loud and made my head ache that still lingered hurt worse. Jane was leading me to another room, a room to talk with Aro about arrangements. She stopped at a large door than opened it...
