Chapter 11
Abaddon and I became fast friends. He wasn't a vegetarian vampire like me but that didn't matter. We learned almost everything about each other. I found out that he had the power to transfer some one else's power for his use. He tried it on me and it made me feel extremely insignificant. Now we were talking about how we became vampires. He already knew my tale from the first day I had met him, but he wanted to hear it again.
He was telling his. "Well here's another little fun fact of Abaddon." He was always so sarcastic. "I'm almost 400 years old!"
My face must have been priceless. "Your 400? What does that have to do with your transformation?" I asked
"I'm getting there. Well do you know who Abaddon is besides me?" he asked. I shook my head. "Well he's the angel of destruction. So when my mother decided to name me that, everyone thought I was a demon sent to destroy the Earth. First they captured my mother and burned her at the stake."
I gasped. "You have to remember it was the 1600's. When my mother was killed I was about 12. So I went into hiding for 8 years. I was in the sewers scavenging for food when I saw these beautiful creatures huddled in the corner. One saw me, or rather smelled me now that I know what happened. They all went running like they were afraid of me. I followed out of curiosity. They hadn't fed in a very long time. I could tell by the way they were running. They smelt me again and the one in the back attacked me. I had no idea what was going on. The burning was all over, I was screaming in the sewers. I was surprised nobody came to see what was going on." He laughed. "They were looking for the angel of destruction for 10 years and hear some one in pain but don't even bother investigating it. Three days later I realized what I had become and I accepted it. I didn't think it was such a bad thing. I had nothing to loose in the first place." He finished.
I took in an unneeded breath. "Wow, that's horrible. Do you mind me asking why your mother named you Abaddon?" I asked.
"No not at all. My mother had heard the name some where. She didn't know what it meant or was and decided to name me that." He said plainly.
"Well I love your name. Whether or not it means the angel of destruction." I said reaching out my hand for him to take it. He grabbed it and I squeezed it. He smiled at me.
"How did I ever meet a perfect girl like you?"
"Well if I recall correctly, I was destroying the north hall and you stopped me." I said. Now that I think if it, I'm almost glad Bella showed up. If not I would have never met Abaddon. It had been almost a month since Bella whisked Edward away from the Volturi. They offered to take me too, but I wanted to stay with Abaddon for some reason.
"Hannah I need to tell you something." I looked over to see Abaddon giving me a serious look.
"What is it?" I asked slightly worried.
"Over this month, I have realized I have feelings for you that I have never experienced before. I now realize what it is." He grabbed my hand with both of his. "I love you. Not in a friendly way. But, I am in love with you."
I was in awe. My mouth was agape. "Abaddon, I don't know what to say. I mean, I certainly like more than a friend, but I'm not in love with you yet. It might take some time for me."
His eyes lit up. "Well, I have a question for you. I am leaving Volterra. Will you come with me?" I was so excited I jumped up and down in my seat.
"Yes! Yes! I would love to! Where are we going?" I asked excitedly.
"We are going to America…and I would like to live with the Cullens if it's ok with you." He said tentatively.
"Of course it's ok! I would love to see the Cullens again!" This had to be the best day of my life! "When are we leaving?"
"Tomorrow. I already mauled it over with Aro, we're free to go." He said happily.
"O my god Abaddon! You're the best!" I ran over and hugged him. He was caught off guard by my act of kindness. But he soon wrapped his arms around me.
"We better get our things together." He said.
"I don't have any things." I replied.
"Oh well in that case I should get my things together." I just nodded into his chest. I buried my face there inhaling his delicious scent. He didn't seem to want to let go of me as long as I didn't let him go. We sat there without fidgeting for who knows how long? It felt right. Better than any time Edward had held me. I then realized I do love Abaddon. We were perfect for each other. I could feel myself changing at this realization. I felt all jittery and happy. For the first time in months I felt completely happy.
"Abaddon…" I said quietly.
"Hmmm?" he replied contently.
"I just realized I do love you."
He laughed. "I was wondering when you were going to figure it out." I laughed with him.
"I really need to get packed now." He said pulling away from me a little.
"Can I stay with you?" I asked. Wow I sound pathetic I thought.
"Of course you can. I wouldn't have it any other way." He said.
I smiled and sat down on the couch in his room. He got everything packed in under an hour. When he was finished, he sat down next to me. For some reason he sat on the other side of the couch. I patted my hand on the couch to get him to come closer. He did as I asked and I cuddled into the side of him. He wrapped his arms around me.
"Why are we leaving anyway?" I asked out of curiosity.
"I was sick of the Volturi. Also I wanted to start drinking animal blood. I felt horrible for killing humans." He said.
I nestled even more into his side. He pulled me onto his lap. I rested my head in the crook of his neck while he traced my spine. He kissed my forehead. There is no where I would have rather been then there in his arms. I looked at the clock on the wall. It said it was 6:35 am.
"What time do we need to leave?" I asked.
"Our plane tickets are for 10:00 am but we need to get there early for all of the things you have to do. Like bag check and such." He said.
I just nodded. I wanted to leave as soon as possible.
………………………………
Time seemed to be against me today. It was literally crawling. I would look at the time and it would say 7:15. Then I looked at it again and it would say, 7:16. Finally it was 8:45 and we were leaving. Abaddon and I had to wear the black cloaks so we wouldn't be seen. I absolutely hated these cloaks. It would hopefully be the last time I had to wear it. We got to the rental car and sped off to the airport. After all of the bag checks we got onto the plane. Abaddon pretended to sleep while I just thought and day dreamed. I had to make sure I controlled my thoughts so none of these poor humans get hurt by my carelessness. Then plane was on time so we would be there at about 4 or 5. Only 2 more hours I thought to myself. I couldn't wait to see Rosalie again. Along with Alice, Emmett, Carlisle, Esme, and-even though his power gets on my nerves- Jasper. I wonder if they'll allow us to be in their coven. They probably already have Bella in it. So there would be 10 vampires in their coven…maybe we could be our own coven if they turn us down. We were going to land early. So only about 30 more minutes. I kept pondering the idea of the Cullens turning us down. I bet they'll let us live with them for a while. But then they kick us out. I thought. It wouldn't be horrible to have our own coven would it? The plane was landing and Abaddon was 'waking up'. He smiled at me and I smiled back. I was nervous for some reason. Abaddon grabbed my hand for support. We walked swiftly off the plane. Every eye in the Airport was on us. I was glad Abaddon had good self control or we would be exposed. We got in the rental car and sped off to Binghamton, New York.
"Why are you so nervous Hannah?" Abaddon asked.
I must've looked as anxious as I felt. "I don't know. I think I am just excited to see them."
He saw right through me. "Tell me now."
I rolled my eyes. "Fine! What if the Cullens turn us away? If we enter their coven there will be 10 vampires in it. Wouldn't people get suspicious?" I asked at a mile a minute.
"Well from what you told me of the Cullens, they don't seem the type to turn people down. If they do, we start our own coven. We could do what Carlisle does, save people who are on the brink of death." He reassured me. I nodded.
"Turn here." We were entering the never ending driveway to the mansion I once lived in. We got out of the car and knocked on the door. Rosalie opened the door. Her eyes widened as she saw me.
"Hannah! O my gosh! I thought you were never coming back!" she pulled me into hug. "I missed you so much." She said.
"So did I. You can't even imagine what they did to me." I said.
"Who is this?" she asked looking at Abaddon.
"I'm Abaddon. Hannah and I became friends in Volterra. I told her that I wanted to become a "vegetarian" vampire, so we left." He said.
"Without him, I wouldn't have been able to come back." I said reaching out my hand to him. He grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.
"Oh, are you two…?" she said.
"Yeah, we are." I said. We all laughed.
"Come in, come in!" Rosalie said forcing us into the house.
"Hannah!" Alice came running to me and hugged me. "Oh my! I can't believe you're here! Why didn't you come back with Edward and Bella?" she asked.
"I found some one worth staying for." I looked over at Abaddon.
"Oh I see." She said and stepped away. Carlisle and Esme were ecstatic to see me. Jasper was too. I didn't see Edward or Bella. Right now I was telling them what happened.
"That is unlike the Volturi to beat some one for making a simple mistake." Carlisle said.
"No I've been with the Volturi for years and they continue to do it. They make everyone believe they all peaceful and kind when they actually are some of the most violent vampires out there." Abaddon replied.
"Carlisle? I have an important question." I said not wanting a fight to break out between Carlisle and Abaddon.
"Yes Hannah what is it?" Carlisle asked.
"Well, Abaddon wants to become a "vegetarian" vampire. We were hoping to stay here until his control is perfected. He and I are hoping to have our own coven." I asked.
"Of course. You can stay as long as you want. We don't mind at all." Everyone nodded towards me. Could things actually be going right for me?
Review please!
