Thanks everyone who reviewed the last chapter, and I am sorry to say that this is in fact the finale of this fic. It was good that I had viewers who liked the idea of someone other than Bella or Didyme being involved in Marcus's life, but I do think I'll post another twilight story in the future, it will be a while though. I still have about three other fics to finish after this one but there's one more that's almost complete and maybe I'll post it after that one's done.
Please review and I hope to hear back from you all in future fics to come.
Review!
Rena's P.O.V.:
As I walked out into the sunlight I could not believe my eyes, even in the darkness nothing had seemed so clear to me. Unfortunately this moment of wow was ruined by the sight of my Marcus being held down and about to be killed by my father. The entire Volturi was being restrained, and judging by the sights of the newborns I could tell he chose his army wisely; amazingly though, I had a few tricks up my sleeves.
"Daddy…what's going on?" I asked like a little kid would ask, using a slightly timid yet ring-like voice. He gave a crooked smile, figuring I had become his little slave.
"Ah my little Maureen, you've finally awakened."
"Yes, who are these people?" I walked slowly and shyly over to him, seeing Marcus' and everyone else's face turn from shock to anger.
"They are the Volturi, they are our enemies and they've come to kill you."
"Rena! Don't listen to him!" Jane cried out and oh I wished I could do something else but I had to get his trust for a minute.
"They want to kill me and you?"
"Yes my dear, and you mustn't believe their lies it's exactly what they want you to do. Why don't you help daddy out eh? Then after we're done you can kill as many as you want for blood, I'm sure you're thirsty?"
"Yes."
"Then let us hurry, no time to waste." He directed me over to Marcus, and then placed his hand on my shoulder. I looked down at Marcus, but he seemed to know what I was planning. I put my hand on his cheek, and then moved it to his neck as my dad's slowly moved away. Before it moved completely I took his hand in mine gripping it slightly.
"I want him to watch first, then I'll show you what I'm truly capable of." He smiled at me like a happy new found victory was approaching.
"Very well then, take your pick my girl." I looked around slowly, and then saw the biggest amount of newborns restraining Caius and Aro. One could only hope that this would work, and frankly I knew this work if luck was on my side. I walked over to them slowly but quickly, and then touched the newborn's hand holding Aro's neck. My fingers brushed against his face, and he could read everything inside my mind.
"Ready?" he smirked at me.
"Ready." I gripped the newborn's hand and ripped it off Aro before taking his head off next. Aro was freed and then went for the ones holding Caius. I began moving so fast I took out at least four other newborns in one movement.
"MAUREEN!" my father yelled at me. I pretended not to hear and continued killing newborns, and from the looks of it my speed and strength were greater than everyone else's. "STOP WHAT'RE YOU DOING?" he kept yelling but he still didn't move, he kept his grip on Marcus tight; I was only doing what he told me.
"I'm just doing what you said Daddy. You did say take my pick."
"I meant the Volturi not the army!" I pretended to look shocked and surprised by covering my mouth with my hands.
"Oh! I'm sorry daddy, but I just can't help myself." I smiled and still attacked more newborn while the rest of the freed guards began moving in on daddy. As the rest of the newborns were dealt with by Jane and Alec, I marched over to my father slowly, and he kept Marcus up in front of him as a shield.
"Let him go." Aro stated dangerously low.
"Not a chance, he's my ticket out of here. Come now Maureen, you may have freed the Volturi but you still can't defeat me."
"The name's Rena daddy." I snarled in my normal voice but with a deeper pitch. I could feel my thirst growing, so I had to end this soon. "Let go of my mate." He didn't budge, so I turned over to Felix. "Give me your hand Felix." He looked at me confused as hell.
"What?"
"Give her your hand." Aro ordered. Felix reluctantly put his hand in mine, and after a few seconds I ran at my father and punched him straight in the chest not covered by Marcus. My hand went through almost and Marcus dropped to the ground. His face was slightly cracked but his neck had a large handprint in it; Aro pulled him out of the way and daddy staggered on his feet.
"W-What…n-no one's…been able to…hit me?" I just smirked and punched him again in the same spot while it started to heal.
"This. Is. For. All. The. Torment. You. Put. Me. And. Mom. Through." With every word I landed a punch and the last one went right through his chest. He fell to the ground on his knees and in an instant everyone had a hold on him preventing any movement. He struggled to speak since the big hole in his chest was right under his throat.
"M-Maureen…y-you wouldn't really…kill me w-would you? I-I created you…" I walked over to him again, and knelt down next to his ear.
"You may have created me, but you never gave a damn about me or my mom. And so now…I'll return the favor." I gripped his neck with both my hands and ripped his head clean off.
"Start the fire! Before they all regenerate!" Aro and the others went to work throwing every piece of each newborn and their master into the fire. I held my father's head over the fire, and dropped it down watching it disintegrate into ash. I watched until the flames died down, and then I felt someone's strong arms wrap around me.
"You were amazing cara mia." Marcus whispered in my ear and kissed my neck.
"Amazing, she was absolutely brilliant! Rena how's about you explain to everyone about your newfound power?" I turned around and stood before everyone there.
"As it turns out, I have a power like my father did. But instead of me having tough skin, I have the ability to take some of another vampire's strength and speed and use it to my advantage. Sadly though the effects only last for about five minutes depending on the amount I take." Some looked relieved, others were whatever.
"Five minutes is all you'll need Rena, now then let's make sure there aren't any more newborns down there." Aro pointed to the shack, but then I stepped forward.
"I already took care of them, but I think there's still one more there. His name's Danny he was there when I was changing, but if you could…I'd ask for you to spare his life?"
"Don't bother Rena." Danny came out from the shadows, head bowed as if in shame. "If I understand it, your coven doesn't give second chances. I won't fight, and I won't run, so if you would I'd appreciate it if you made this quick."
'Danny no.' "Danny, you don't have to die you can live." I tried to speak but Marcus stopped me.
"Rena, it appears he's made his choice." Aro touched Danny's shoulder reading his thoughts. "He feels as if he's a monster that he can't make up for what he's become. And I'm afraid we can't make much of an exception, even if he did stay with you he still isn't fully under control."
"He has to be killed Maureen." Caius spoke up. If only I could cry again I'd be begging them to leave him be. Aro's eyes softened at me, but I knew he couldn't break his own laws.
"We can show him mercy Rena, he won't feel a thing." Alec stepped forward.
"He's right. Alec will make sure he will feel as if falling into a deep sleep. He won't suffer Rena." I leaned into Marcus and he held me close. "Let's begin." I turned away and Marcus helped me walk away from the scene, the last of Danny I could hear was the sound of his crunching flesh. I tried to look but Marcus pushed my head forward gently.
"Don't watch."
"Marcus…he could've been a better person even as a vampire couldn't he?" he didn't answer, so I just remained quiet.
"It's alright cara mia, he's going to a better place." I closed my eyes, praying to God that he would have mercy on all the newborns my father foolishly created. They didn't deserve to suffer for what he'd done to them.
"I know." As we continued back towards the palace, I could feel the sun's heat lessening with every step as it began to set in the sky.
Three hours later:
I was in the throne room waiting for the rest to arrive after finishing off the other newborns. Marcus was with me, but as I felt him near me I couldn't help but feel scared. I still had on Didyme's necklace and ring, but a part of me felt as if I wasn't meant to wear them.
"What's wrong Rena?" he came up to me and held me in his arms.
"I don't know…I just feel, different."
"Different? Good different or bad different?" I smiled at that.
"I'm not sure, I think it's a mix. Like I'm glad to be one of you now, but I feel almost as if I've lost something." My throat was still burning slightly from thirst, but since I had taken some newborn powers I was able to prolong it until everyone returned.
"We've all felt that before cara, but what we all do is try to find it later. I felt it when I lost Didyme, and almost felt it again when I lost you. Now I have you back, and I will protect you every way possible." I leaned into him and kissed his sweet lips.
"Ahem." We pulled apart when Aro, Caius, and the guards walked in. Jane ran over to me and squeezed me in a hug. Thankfully I could hug back without falling apart; as I hugged her I heard a small gasp and a hand on my arm.
"Uh Rena you're crushing Jane." I let go instantly and Jane just laughed.
"Wow, I can see I'm gonna have fun with you around here." I smiled at her, she was now like a sister to me. I looked over at Alec and Aro, and they looked at me with small smiles.
"He went peacefully Rena, I'm pretty sure that God would have shown such mercy himself." I smiled and then looked at the others.
"The change wasn't what I expected, but at least now I don't have to feel so puny to all of you." They laughed at me.
"It's gonna be nice not wanting to eat you all the time." Felix joked getting a glare from Marcus.
"Well, does this mean I have to be locked away like Athenodora and Sulpicia?"
"For a while, but not for long." At that moment the two wives came over and embraced their husbands before turning to me.
"Rena! You're gorgeous, absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Like me!" Sulpicia squealed.
"And me!" Athenodora squealed too before I hugged them both. The men all laughed and I remembered a question I wanted to ask Aro.
"I don't have to kill humans for food do I?" he looked at me weird, but then smiled that Cheshire smile again.
"You can eat as you please Rena, animals, humans, whatever suits you."
"Perhaps a little change is in order." Marcus kissed my cheek, then hoisted me up bridal style before carrying me to the kitchen. He set me down and went over to the fridge taking out a cup of cold blood. "Drink this, its ok it's animal."
"How'd you know?" I asked taking the cup from him.
"I had a feeling you'd be unique like that." He kissed me again and I drank the blood. It tasted sweet yet strange, but I couldn't stop myself as I drank it down until the last drop was gone. I set the glass down and it broke, I let the shards drop from my hands and looked at Marcus sheepishly.
"I guess I have to work on controlling my strength eh?" he laughed and kissed me again.
"Yes, but right now I'm about to lose control." I looked at him weirdly, and then realized what he meant.
"You've been holding back?"
"Only for over 1000 years." I laughed and he scooped me up again. He took me into the room we had shared while I was a human, and set me down on the bed. I looked at him lustfully as he did me, but then he reached into his robes and pulled out a small black velvet box. He opened it, and inside was a golden V pendant with the Volturi crest on it and a small ruby in the middle.
"Marcus…that's beautiful."
"It's yours my love, you are now an official guard of the Volturi, and my queen." I carefully took the necklace from its case and put it on. Marcus pulled out a mirror off the night stand, and I examined my reflection in it.
"Wow…I look good." I felt like a princess for the first time in my life.
"You look far better than good angelus." I looked at him with the same lustful look form earlier, and he took me over on the other side of the bed before kissing me again. The kiss could last forever, and forever was all we had….together. When he pulled away he instantly removed his robes and my torn clothes off our bodies, and looked at me with love, happiness, joy, lust, and many other emotions all at once.
"Welcome home Maureen." We kissed again.
The End.
Yeah not a very good ending but at least it's finished. Sorry if some of you are disappointed, but thank you all who favorited this fic, added me as a fave author, reviewed this, etc. I have three other twilight fics still up but one is again almost done. Please keep it up because I like to hear what others think of my fics, and the future ones to come.
Thank you again.
