So... Before you all chase me with pitchforks and flaming torches let me explain! Please. Okay, firstly I am superduperuper sorry that I haven't updated in nearly three months. I do have reasons! For the past couple of months there has been a tradgey befalling my family every so often (eg, cancer, heartattack, possible brain tumor, job loss, etc.). I have also had exams and assignments galore (oh the joy of doing high school work a year higher than age requires and Tafe at the same time)! It was today, in fact, that we finished our exam blocks. Tomorrow I am leaving on a 3 day leadership camp with my grade (I CAN'T WAIT!). Holidays start on Friday when I get back from camp, so expect an update on Saturday!
Thank you all for reading my extremely long-winded A/N and yes... On with the story!
Ps... To all of you who know that I do have this story written up until Chapter 16, I'm sorry. I have this policy that everytime I update on here, I write a new chapter... I'm not very good at sticking to my own rules, so yeah. Sorry! Love you all! ( :
Jane's POV
As I ran playfully at my daughter her eyes became vacant as if she was in a dream world. She snapped out of it in about 3 or 4 seconds and when she did, I fell to the floor, my worst nightmare happening before my very eyes.
My little girl was being given back to that savage oaf, Edward Cullen. My brother and I were kicking and screaming to get her, to take her back to Italy and keep her safe, but Aro kept moving further and further away, taking my eight year old baby back to her previous family.
Edward took her and started beating her and after seeing that I got away from Felix and Demetri, but they were faster and caught hold of me again. I struggled and screamed and Alec was doing the same. We started going back into the fog and I kept struggling but to no avail. Once I was out of the scene, once I had lost my chance to save her, I was still forced to watch. Forced to watch as he looked down at her with that evil glint in his eye that I knew all too well. Forced to watch as he kicked and hit her. Forced to watch my little girl suffer.
I was snapped out the nightmare once it was over. I was lying on the floor, dazed, not quite knowing what had just happened, yet knowing what I had experienced. I was shaking and I knew that if I could, I would be crying. That was my worst nightmare and someone had induced me to live it.
Alec rushed over and helped me so that I was kind of sitting up, but leaning back on my hands, Alec supporting my shocked figure. I looked over the Volturi members faces; they were all looking towards the culprit. The same person that was the center of the nightmare was also the person who provoked it. My little girl. My little Felicity.
"Lydia… Did you do that?" I asked hesitantly.
She nodded in reply, looking stricken and scared.
"Momma, are you okay?" She whispered, sounding pained.
"I'm fine, sweetie."
She teleported over to me and tackled me into a tight hug. She obviously felt guilty for making that happen to me. I saw over her shoulder, Aro was smirking.
"I think we found your talent. The one that will make you a huge asset to the Volturi. Congratulations to our newest member." Aro said kindly, he was happy that they had found another use from Felicity, happy that she will definitely become part of the Volturi.
Felicity's POV
The next few days were hectic. I was being taught how to be a part of the Volturi. It was quite confusing, but I somehow got the gist of it. Basically when people were bad and had to be punished, my Grandpa would ask me to come forward and I would see what their biggest nightmare is and make them feel like they are living it. We tested it and have found that leaving the nightmare on for too long can drive them insane and it could kill them. Leaving the happiest dream on for too long could drive them to insanity and it could also kill them. I've been told that my power is similar to Mom's and Alec's. Mom's can create great pain resulting in death and Alec's makes them go numb while someone kills them. The nightmare's are like Mom's and the dreams like Alec's, expect they are happy, not numbing.
I even got my own cloak. The guard gets charcoal grey coats and the more important you are, the darker your cloak is. Mom's, Alec's, Dad's, Grandpa's, Pop's, Felix's and Demetri's are all midnight black, because they are the main and more important people of the guard and Volturi. Mine is midnight black too. I was told that I am also one of the most important people with one the most important and powerful gifts in the entire Volturi. I am officially a part of the Volturi guard and I'm loving it.
"Boss, Felix and Demetri are bringing in a vampire they found draining humans like there was no tomorrow. They're about four minutes away." Heidi came and informed Grandpa.
"Well for this guy, there will be no tomorrow." Grandpa chuckled darkly.
We got into our positions. Yes, we had certain spots to stand in. The Volturi was very particular about looking good while being threatening. It was kind of strange.
The guard stood against the marble walls, going from the lightest charcoal grey, leading up to the darkest black. I must admit, it is a nice affect. Mom and Alec stood on either side of the three chairs that Grandpa, Pop and Dad occupied. They each had a guard member standing behind the chairs, they were not seen though.
I stood beside Mom, nobody really noticed me until it was my turn to inflict the pain because of my height difference with the rest of the vampires.
Felix and Demetri dragged in a rouge vampire, he had shaggy black hair, bright red eyes and a slightly perverted smile donned his face. He was kind of creepy and I had a feeling that with his female human victims, draining them wasn't the only thing he was doing…
Grandpa went through all of the whole what-were-you-doing questioning; his answer was the same as all the others who get caught in this situation. "I didn't do anything, I swear! Those humans had it coming! I'm a vampire, killing humans is what I do, I have my methods and you have yours."
"Felicity." Said Grandpa coldly, glaring at the scum being held down by Felix and Demetri. I teleported to my Grandpa, landing right in front of him. The guy on the ground flinched, surprised by my sudden appearance. "Show him your talent, sweetheart."
The guy snorted and cracked up laughing. "She's two and she has human blood running through her veins and a heartbeat. I can both smell and hear her. What's she going to do? Play tea party with me and girl me to death?" He looked like he was laughing so hard that if he was human he'd be crying and holding his sides. I growled, people always underestimate me because of my size and the fact that I'm half human.
I caught his eyes and searched through his nightmares until I found he most feared one. It was a woman and a little boy, probably the age of three. A vampire was there and bloodlust was evident in his eyes. The scum tried to protect the boy and woman, probably his wife and son, but the vampire knocked him to the side, he couldn't get up. The vampire drained the woman and child, the whole time the scum had to listen to their desperate screams and agonizing cries for help. She was begging him to help her and the boy, calling him the name of Greg. She was asking Greg why he wasn't getting up, but he couldn't answer, there was a pressure on him that stopped him from moving, from opening his mouth. It was a struggle to breath.
The vampire finally got around to Greg and was almost done with him when there was a commotion outside and the vampire left quickly, leaving Greg to turn into a vampire, his scenery being the bloody remains of his wife and child.
This was a memory I realized and although it was terrible, this man had killed and probably raped many woman, this was justice.
This one. I thought and the man started screaming, calling out 'Lucy! Mike! No! Please stop, leave them alone!' I just held his eyes, my expression stoic.
"Thank you, Faye." Said Pop. I looked away from 'Greg' and nodded at my Grandfathers and Father, teleporting over to Mom.
I watched with morbid satisfaction as the scum was ripped to shreds, still writhing in the nightmare, probably reliving the pain of the transformation. Good.
Edward's POV
The family has been kind of worried lately. We've given up hope of seeing our other child again, but we're over it. Renesmee doesn't care. She seems to have forgotten that she even has a twin.
The reason we're worried is because Alice can't see the Volturi anymore. She kind of can, but it gives her a massive headache and it's very blurry. We don't know whether they have figured out how to block Alice from seeing them or maybe they met a pack of shape shifters that have formed an alliance with them like we have with the Jacob's pack and used to have with Sam's pack.
Also what is kind of worrying (not as much as the Volturi thing, but still of concern) is the fact that Paul seems to have… lost his mind. The kid is near suicidal. I found out that he imprinted of my other daughter and since she's been gone… he's been going through withdrawals like a junkie getting off the drugs. He's been throwing up and shaking, he's pale and looks kind of stoned. His pupils are dilated and he speaks in tongues. His thoughts are jumbled up and never make sense. The only thing that does make sense is the fact that he misses 'Rayne' and wants her to come back.
Sam got Carlisle to check him out. We don't know how to fix a broken heart, a lost imprint. Carlisle prescribed him some pills and they seemed to have little effect. After strengthening the dosage by almost six, the pills have started to work.
I guess we'll just have to see what happens. We may not have an alliance with Sam's pack anymore, but seeing his old pack brothers like that gets Jacob really worked up and upset and when Jacob is upset, Renesmee is upset, when Renesmee is upset, Bella is upset and when Bella is upset… I'm completely distraught trying to make her feel better.
