Good morning everyone! Thank you so much ColeOctober and dulcesiita for the reviews. I know both of you expressed you're excited for them to get together; don't worry it might happen sooner than you think. :P
Enjoy.
Margareta's POV
The wind blew gently and I closed my eyes letting it sweep my hair gently. My head lay back on the tree I sat under; I opened my eyes watching the sun beam through the trees as it slowly began to descend from the sky. The sun crept through and I sighed as it beamed onto me. I closed my eyes as it hit my skin; I didn't need to look to know what I looked like now.
I had seen it a thousand times to see the glittering and the shine when vampire skin hit sunlight. When I was first changed I hoped to stay in the Caribbean but the bright and beaming sun stopped me. I couldn't hide my true nature in a place so sunny.
"Margareta", I looked up from the tree tops to Jane. Her skin also glittered and she gave no reaction to its sparkle. "It's almost time", I nodded and stood up. I motioned for her to follow and we moved along toward the home. I closed my eyes and listened to the noises inside.
"All five our inside", I whispered quietly to her and she nodded. The sun slipped out of the sky and the sky was a gentle blue now. I made my way toward the stairs and knocked gently on the door.
The door opened revealing Jacques Margulies; he had spectacles on his nose and a button up shirt with black slacks. His eyes moved back and forth from me and Jane to our necklaces. He stiffened noticeable before giving a small smile.
"Hello", he gave a small bow but Jane and I kept blank expressions. "Please do come in", we stepped inside and he whistled. Four other people entered the room; an older looking woman and three teenagers.
"Who are you", asked one of the teenage females. The woman hit her arm and gave a warning look.
"They are part of the Volturi guard", the older woman looked at us startled and I could see the fear in her eyes.
"Please do sit", he motioned to the chairs but we both kept standing as they all sat. They all looked rather nervous.
"I would like to speak to you privately", I spoke for the first time to the man. He nodded and stood up and motioned for me to follow him upstairs. We stepped into a small study and he looked out the window as I stood near the door.
"Is this because of the humans", he asked wringing his hands.
"What do you think", I asked him my face blank and my eyes not revealing anything. I had dressed in my usual dress with my cloak; my hands were in my leather gloves and my body was completely hidden in my black cloak.
"We have to survive; besides the humans are so stupid", he muttered staring out the window. I slipped closer to him in the blink of an eye. I stood behind him but he still said nothing. "Just do it", he whispered. I closed my eyes for a moment before opening them and he gasped loudly. I blinked and his head ripped off silently. I dropped his body silently to the ground to not alert the family downstairs. I lifted up a lighter from my pocket and when the fire light I dropped it the ground. The room roared up into flames it crawling through the room. I stepped out the room closing the door behind me.
Jane's POV
"Why are you doing this", asked one of the females. I said nothing just listened to the words between Margareta and the patriarch of the family. I heard the roar of a fire and they all shot up when they heard it.
"I'm not going to stand for this anymore", one of the teenage boys went to get to the stairs and I concentrated. Three of the fell the ground screaming in agony while the other male looked at me shocked. He roared and flew at me. I crashed into a wall making my power pull back.
I heard a wild hiss as he slammed me into the wall by my neck. I concentrated harder to get him to feel pain but nothing happened. I hissed in agony as he dropped me and grabbed my arm and my hair. My eyes widened as he began to tug at my hair. I cried out in agony when he ripped my arm off; his hands wrapped around my neck and I could feel him tugging.
"NO!" I heard Margareta scream and he went flying across the room. Margareta appeared in front of me crouching and hissing wildly. "Mine", she snarled and I groaned in pain as my arm attempted to reattach. I felt helpless as I watched the four vampires snarl as they tried to close up on us. When they stepped a little too close they all went flying back from Margareta's power.
"I'll kill you", screamed the older woman and she went to fly at Margareta but she gasped as her head ripped clean off. I glanced over and saw the fire was crawling down the steps and into the bottom of the house. Margareta disappeared from in front of me and I heard another snap of a neck. The fire roared louder and slid closer. I stumbled up trying to get my bearings. I held my arm in place since it hadn't completely reattached.
Margareta was snarling wildly as she held the male who had ripped my arm off and almost my head. "I'm going to make you suffer", I heard her snarl wildly. She ripped into his neck and he hissed wildly. I watched from the other side of the room when she yanked his arms off and dropped them into the fire. He lay there screaming in pain as she tugged off both his legs and threw them into the fire. "Have fun burning", she snarled yanking his head off.
"Margareta", I called to her the fire creeping toward her closer. She appeared next to me and grabbed my good arm. We slipped out the house and into the nearby woods.
I stared at the flames engulfing the home and I watched as the smoke billowed up.
"Jane, are you alright", she asked me and I turned to her.
"Yes I'm fine", I moved my arm around to prove it was reattached. She nodded and sighed looking to the fire in thought. "Thank you for saving me", it felt strange saying those words since I rarely did. Her eyes moved to look at me and she was staring at me in thought. I got lost in her false brown eyes and I stepped closer to her. She matched my movement and now we were just a few centimeters from one another. Her eyes slid from my eyes to my lips and I could feel myself getting excited. I tilted my head to the side and leaned forward closing my eyes.
It felt amazing when our lips met.
Wooo, finally a kiss that Margareta initiated! I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. Please review!
