Disclaimer - I don't own Twilight, only Poppy, Tulip and Mandy (And Ashley but I would rather not admit to that)

Sorry for taking so long but I was ill all of last week.

Alec's P.O.V

I had messed up. Really shouldn't have kissed her but at that moment I just couldn't resist she was too beautiful, perfect. When I pulled away, I ran. She hadn't talked to me since then whenever I tried to talk to her she turned and ran away. She and Jane had become quick friends which got me into trouble with Jane. Poppy told her what I had done so Jane used her power on me and when I couldn't move had Felix pull my arm off. She didn't give it back for a had become like a little sister to Felix and Demetri so they weren't happy either.

Poppy's P.O.V

How could he? I could live with the fact he kissed me but why did he run off? It had been nearly two months since then and I had started my training as part of the Volturi. Felix and Demetri were the ones training me and they were like the older brothers I never had while Jane was like a sister. Alec I felt should be more but I wasn't ready to forgive him.

I had been called for by the Masters, Jane had said that they might be sending me on a mission. I really hoped so as it would be nice to use my training for the first time. The blood lust that came with being a vampire was horrid but I was learning to live with it slowly with the help of my new friends. With my new vampire strength it was easy to open the heavy wooden doors that led to the throne room.

"You called for me, masters." I said as I bowed to them.

"Ah, Poppy. As I'm sure Jane has told you she, Alec, Felix and Demetri are leaving for a mission in Seatle. We want you to go with them. It could be a chance to use your gift." Explained Aro. Not long after I was changed I discovered that I had a gift, like Alec and Jane. If I imagined something then I could make someone else see it. It wasn't a completely new gift, a vampire from the Amazon had a similar gift but my illusions seemed more real. However I could only show people something that I had expirenced, which included any human expirences I had. "You may even get to see your family. Well, Bella at least. We expect a report on when she will be changed." I bowed before making my way out of the throne room to find Jane and tell her I was going with her this time.

It has been two days since I had been told that I was going on this mission and we were getting ready to leave. That meant feeding so that we weren't distracted by hunger while working. Jane had told me that we were going to Seattle which was near Forks, all over the news were reports of many deaths in the area and the idea of Tulip being so close to where the deaths were taking place nearly killed me, again anyway.

"Poppy, hurry up. Heidi's back." called Jane she was in the other room but I could still hear every word she said as though she was right next to me. We left at vampire speed so that we could feed quickly and leave before there were more deaths.

I know it's short but I had writers block and have been stressing out lots lately as well as being ill last week.
