Chapter 9
I couldn't take this wait! Although I have only been waiting for a few minutes, it seemed to last for hours. It seemed like everyone in this whole damn place was staring at me. The whole time we were walking from the room that Aro, Marcus and Caius were seated at, to the waiting area in the front of the building, everyone's eyes were on me. Every time I turned around, I would always see Demetri staring at me with eyes the size of golf balls. It was even worse when I had to sit in reception area and deal with Felix staring at me the same way. I just sat there trying to distract myself from his staring, when I finally snapped.
"Would you please say something before I go INSANE?" I shouted.
"Jessie…..." he paused unable to speak. He shook his head. "What you did in there was…. Amazing. I've never seen anything like. I mean you were like physically burning him without even touching him. I even saw smoke coming from his eyes!" I looked at him confused. So he thought it was amazing I practically killed his master?
"So you're not mad at me for hurting him?"
"Well, not really I mean you doing so basically saved our lives," he said with a grin. "Plus you didn't kill him, and that helps our case a lot." He seems really convinced that they will choose to keep us now. Then if they said no I could easily hurt all three of them long enough for me to kill. I remembered what Felix had said on the plane…
"It's very difficult to kill a vampire almost impossible," he had said to. "Burning us with fire would be the only way to get the job done. Ripping them to pieces and then burning actually works better because then you know that, there are no pieces still intact. It's very rare but there have been some cases where not all the pieces were burned to ash and the vampire was able. To put themselves back together. Of course they were missing a few pieces and were terribly, at first but give them sometime and they will go back to normal. We aren't exactly sure how that happens. We believe that it may have something to do with the venom still in their body that allowed them to heal, but because of how rare these things happen. We have not been to do test or anything to find out how and why this happens."
Felix's voice snapped me back to the present. "You should have seen yourself you looked so relaxed while Aro going through what seemed like hell. I bet with some practice you'll be able to kill someone just by thinking about it. If you're able to do that there is no way any of them would to deny you from joining the Volturi. Plus I have a trick up my sleeve that will defiantly help." He said winking at me."What kind of trick?" I asked. All of his surefire tricks he tried before hadn't worked and it's not like he tried any others while we were leaving. In fact when it came to the time that we were going to be killed he didn't even try anything. I felt confused, which really started to frustrate me. God, on the plane when Felix said that I would wild mood swings he was right. I felt like I had PMS times a hundred.
"Don't worry about it, it not that important right. Now we just have to focus on waiting for their answer, which probably won't take that much longer."
Right as he said that Demetri walked in to the room. "Aro said that I should tell Heidi to get you a…snack. Heidi should be back in a few seconds, so you two should probably follow me to the feeding chamber. After you are don with your meal. I will escort you to the throne room so you can hear the final decision."
Felix nodded.
Demetri gestured for us to follow him. Felix took my hand and followed.
"So," Demetri said turning his head to look at me. "It's probably not right for me to say this but…What you did in there was fucking awesome. I really hope they keep you. We need a chic like you on the guard. I also can't wait for Jane to get back and find out about this. She is so competitive." He smiled excitedly. I sighed. By the way everyone described her, I was pretty sure she would hate me to my very core the minute she found out.
"And she was just starting to like me," I said shaking my head.
"I'm sure you and her will be friends….one day," Felix said trying to comfort me.
Demetri laughed. "Yeah one day in the far, far future. The only thing that keeps that girl from getting competitive with the rest of is her brother. He is defiantly my favorite twin."
"Jane has a twin brother?" I asked totally surprised. I don't know why but she just didn't seem like the family type of person. To be honest she kind of reminded me a very spoiled child, even if she did scare the hell out of. Felix described her ability as pure pain.
"Yes," Felix answered. "His name is Alec and he is pretty much the better twin. You'll probably see him running around the office doing paper work, when he gets back. Believe it or not we actually have to run business here. You know schedule tours of the building and stuff like that." He smiled an evil grin.
"Well," Demetri said smiling the same grin. "We actually have a tour waiting for us. We wouldn't want to keep them waiting. They paid good money for this." They both started laughing. I just watched both of them feeling kind of bad for those poor people. I mean I know I killed Mike without even a second thought and I was about to do the same thing to the receptionist, but that was different. These people weren't doing anything to piss me off. I was about to suggest they go ahead without me but instead of the word coming up in my throat, there was a wild burning as if I had inhaled flames. It just reminded me so much of the three days I spent in the fire while my body changed from human to vampire. I cupped my throat with my hand to try to put out some of the flames but it was no use. The flames just seemed to get bigger by the second. Felix turned to see me doing this and speeded his pace up.
"We have to hurry up," he said to Demetri. "She is starting to get hungry." We zoomed down the hall and turned a corner to a big wooden door. Demetri easily opened the door even though it was as thick as his muscular arm. We walked in to a huge room that was filled with at least 50 people. They were all chatting but seemed to stop when we came in the room only to stare at us with awe. I looked around to see as guy and even some girls were checking me out. It made me smile. No one could dare call me unattractive now. I couldn't help but think of Bella. I only wish she could be here now so I could see her gaze at me with envy like all the other girls in the room were. I wanted to see the jealousy in her eyes as she took in my beauty. I guess I can only dream about stuff like that because I knew that there was no way I was ever going to see Bella ever again. And she better hope I don't.
Demetri cleared his throat loudly, getting everyone's attention. "I'd like to thank you all for coming to this tour of the castle." He said loudly needing no microphone. I was sure everyone could hear him. "Well I hope you like what you saw because this is end of the tour." Multiple reactions came from the crowd. Some people laughed thinking it was a joke. Others saw how serious Demetri's face was and started at us angrily, other were just confused. Demetri turned to us with a smile on his face. "You guys ready?" he whispered. He didn't wait for us to respond he quickly pounced on the person in front of him knocking them to the floor. Everything was silent for a complete second before the screaming started. I saw as Felix ran around the room pulling a giant wooden plank down in front of each of the five doors in the room. He was on to his forth door when a human got in his way. He grabbed the human about to toss them aside and continue locking the doors, when his finger punctured the human's neck. A long river of crimson started to pour out. I could see as Felix's eyes started to change as the scent came to him. He quickly broke the human's neck with only a tightening of his hand. Then bit into the human's neck to feast on their blood. While this was happening I saw another human run to the heavy door that was still unlocked and struggle to get it open. I looked around to see both Demetri and Felix distracted by the blood of the humans. I looked back to see that the human had been able to open the door a crack and was struggling to get it to open further. I knew what would happen if the human was able to escape. He would let out our secret and we would all be revealed. I could let that happen. I used my ability on the human and they fell to the floor and started screaming in pain. Then I went up to the human and held them up by their throat. I knew I didn't want to kill this innocent human, but the burning in my throat seemed to go wild just by the warmth coming from their skin. I literally feel their heart beat in my hand, and each beat made my mouth water more and more. I eventually gave up and snuck my teeth in to their throat. I could feel their blood pour in to my mouth. It was soooo good. I swear this person's blood was even better than Mike's was. As soon as I tasted this person's blood I seemed to lose myself. The next thing I knew I was sitting on a pile of dry, dead bodies and all I could remember was flashes of scream people and blood oozing out of their bodies. Demetri laughed as he saw my pile of bodies.
"Well, looks like Miss New Vamp lucked out pretty well. How was it?"
"Not as easy as the last time," I said smiling. "I think because last time my mind was clouded with the hate I felt for the person, but this time was better."
Demetri laughed "Don't worry you'll learn to hate all humans. All vamps do, it makes it a lot easier to feed."
Felix cleared his throat "Not all vamps hate humans. Remember that one coven that took down the army of newborn vamps, they had a pet human."
I laughed at the thought, a pet human that just seemed so stupid. Demetri rolled his eyes.
"Oh please don't bring that coven up. They don't even deserve to be vampires. They are all just a band of freaks. I can't wait till the day we can bring them down, that way we don't have to deal with their freakish crap any longer."
I looked at both of them confused.
Felix just said "You'll learn about them later."
Demetri just rolled his eyes again and then said "c'mon the masters would like to speak with you again.
Felix and I followed Demetri again to the room where our fate would be decided. Only this time there was nothing that could save us.
I just want to end the chapter by say that I actually like the Cullens, I just didn't think that the Volturi would like them very much after everything that happened. So please no hate mail.
