Chapter 11: Meet the Family
Things started to get easier after my... episode. Becky and Mark became my friends quickly, I even found a friendship with Marcus. He was kind and sympathetic with me, like he knew what I was going through. My head was telling me he had no idea how I felt, but my heart told me different. It told me to accept Marcus, to keep close to him because he was the kind of person I should trust. And I listened.
The hole in my chest was easier to ignore when I was with my friends. It wasn't healed, just numb. And I tried my hardest to keep it that way.
One day during training Marcus decided that it would be a good idea to make a list of my powers and who I got them from, that way from them I could find out more information about my powers and we could work on them one by one. We figured that I possessed each of the Volturi guards powers, also adding the Cullens powers. We came up with this list...
Edward- Mind Reading
Alice- Psychic
Jasper- Can sense/manipulate others emotions
Aro- Can hear anything you've ever thought- but needs physical interaction
Marcus- Can sense relationships
Caius- Can see/show others memories
Becky- Elemental
Mark- Telekinesis
Jane- Can make you believe your in pain
Demetri- Can create force fields
Felix- Can create illusions
Heidi- Invisibility
Annette- Change her appearance
Chase- Senses are doubled compared to regular vamp.
Tracy- Teleportation
Rachel- Shape-shifting
Jason- Mind Map
Derrick- Mind Control
Annette, Chase, Tracy, Rachel, Jason, and Derrick were Becky and Mark's family, though they hated to admit it. Their family didn't have the same take on vampirism as they did. They preferred the more... average way of quenching their thirst. In other words, they drank human blood. So basically, they hated me. But, of course, that didn't stop them from trying to win Becky and Mark over.
"Okay, Bella," Marcus said as he wrote the last name and power down, "Tomorrow we will start working with mind reading. You are dismissed."
I stood up, gave him a quick bow, and exited the room, my black cape swishing behind me. I proceeded down the halls and up the spiraling staircase to finally walk through the doors of our suite. And through those doors I saw the worse thing possible.
Becky and Mark's family, talking to them and laughing like they were the best of friends.
"Oh, hey Bella," Becky greeted me as I proceeded to the seating area, plopping into a gold chair next to the one she was sharing with Mark. "How was training?"
"Fine, thanks," I said wearily, feeling insanely uncomfortable under her family's watch. I took a chance and looked up at them through my eyelashes, taking in their penetrating gaze of red and ultimate perfection.
First, there was Derrick, sitting at the end of the red plush couch to my left. He light brown, curly hair that was shaggy and had a flew strands hanging in his eyes. His face was round and thin and he had a skinny, somewhat muscular frame.
Next to him was Jason. Jason had black, spiky hair that was blonde on its ends. His chin was straight and angled to make his face perfectly heart shaped. He was muscular, like Emmett was. And he had his arm draped around Rachel.
Rachel was the one in Becky's family that scared me the most. She was a shape-shifter and awfully scary when she had to be. She had short blonde hair that only went to her shoulders and hung in her face, making her look dark and scary, which she was. What only made it worse is that she wore only black, and it brought out the paleness of her skin horridly. It was quite frightening.
Across from them one the other couch and sitting the farthest away from me was Tracy. Tracy I didn't mind as much as the others. She was slightly shorter than me with a tiny frame and short dark red hair that was straight and came just past her shoulders. She had plump colored lips that were pouty and full. Her face was also heart-shaped.
Holding Tracy's hand was the strangest of the bunch, Chase. He was a very quiet person, but he had a big mouth when in an argument. His blonde hair was straight and always combed to perfection so that only a few strands hung in his face. It was somewhat frightening how neat he always was. He was also not very muscular, but seemed more like the sly, spy-like type.
And finally, the last and the one I loathed more than anything. Annette. Just thinking of her made me nearly growl. Her and her blonde hair that was so light it looked almost white. It was very wavy and came down to her waist, standing out against her black cape. She was quick and sharp, sometimes popping out of no where. Her face was round and looked so innocent it was sickening, but that was not the way she was. She was mean and harsh, mostly to me. She was the leader of their coven, and, if she had any say in it, I wouldn't even be friends with Becky and Mark. And something in my heart told me Becky and Mark didn't like her all that much either.
"Bella," she sneered as she stared me down with blood red irises.
"Annette," I answered emotionlessly, turning back to Becky as she said, "How was training?"
I smiled at her. "Fine, thank you."
"Well," Annette interrupted, "I'm afraid we must be off to our suite now." Mark stood and escorted them to the door. Before they exited, Annette turned around and looked back at Becky. "Oh and Rebecca? If you ever feel the need to talk feel free to come and talk to me about anything."
I was sure I saw a chill go down Becky's back. And a shiver ran down mine as Annette stared into my eyes with a strange, familiar emotion as she exited to room with the rest of her family.
And that emotion was called loathing.
