Again sorry about the cliffy in the last chapter, but I had to save for this one.
This chapter is the big brawl between the Romanians, Sulpicia, the newborns, the Cullens, the Volturi, and Kitty, but it's not like it sounds, AB and I wanted to switch it up a bit. There is cursing in this chapter so be warned.
Written by both me and AnnaBoleyna1536.
We don't own Twilight.
Enjoy!
A beach outside Volterra:
Kitty's P.O.V.:
After arriving in Volterra airport I had been unfortunate enough to run into Vladimir's friend Stefan, the only other remaining member of the Romanian Coven. They told me they had abducted Aro, they showed me his necklace; Vladimir even had Aro's scent on him. I needed to see this for myself, and though I found it hard to believe their story I knew something was up and I was determined to see what.
"This way miss." My bags were left at the airport, including my carrier bag. I couldn't care less though, they were only clothes. I followed them out of the airport, and then I followed them out of the city and straight to a familiar beach.
'This beach…it's the same one I fled in.' it was definitely the same one, I remembered the rocks out here. It was night time, and so vampires would roam around when humans were asleep. A noise was heard over the sound of the waves, and it sounded like voices.
"Where is he?" I stopped at the cave. "Where's Aro?" they smirked at me.
"Oh my dear, you are so smitten with him aren't you?" Stefan was by far the creepiest of the two.
"I'm not playing, where is Aro? If you've hurt him I'll…" my answer came walking right out, a figure in a long black cape. "Aro?" I walked closer, but when the person turned around it wasn't Aro.
"Hello again Catalina." That wicked smirk, those hateful eyes, it was Sulpicia.
"You again?" I scoffed. "Haven't you caused enough trouble?"
"Me cause trouble? Honey I think you have it backwards." She had a false-sincerity in her voice.
"Really? Because if I recall correctly you were the one who started the trouble with EVERYTHING in the last few years you were in the Volturi." Her smile faltered slightly.
"Kitty dear…"
"Catalina to you." I glared.
"Catalina, you're probably wondering why I asked the Romanians to pick you up at the airport and why they brought you all the way out here."
"That and why you thought I would believe that lie about you kidnapping Aro, he's surrounded by guards and Marcus and Caius every day he's hardly alone." She frowned. "Yeah Sulpicia, I think I know what this is about. You wanted to trick me into coming here so you could try and kill me, but have you forgotten about my gift?"
"What gift?" Stefan and Vladimir stepped forward looking at Sulpicia.
"You didn't tell them?" she smirked.
"Guess you really aren't as dumb as I thought, I'm sorry dear but I suppose I should tell you." I glared again.
"You were planning on using me as bait to lure out the Volturi is that it? You put up an alliance with these two because they're so hell-bent on revenge, what you expect me to assist you?"
"That's part of it, sweetheart if you'll let me speak…"
"Cut the bullshit princess I'm not taking anything from you again." She glared fiercely at me.
"What a mouth on this one." Stefan went to Sulpicia's side and leered at me. "Aro certainly knows how to pick his concubines."
"Watch it Dracula." I sneered. "Explain something though, how did you know I was in Forks?"
"Oh we did a little surveillance one day, and after we saw you leave the castle we followed you to the airport and saw you leave on a flight to Washington."
"So you pretty much watched while I was away, guess you really are pathetic." I smirked. "No offense or anything but this is the usual typical style of revenge on anyone, using someone else as bait in order to get back at another. Can't you come up with anything better?"
"You're not much better yourself, the poor little abused girl slinking her way into another woman's home just so she can steal her life and husband. Not to mention embarrass the poor woman in front of her entire guard…"
"Hold it." I stopped her. "I didn't steal Aro from you; he left you because you kept acting like a deranged harpy. You were a bitch to everyone, always ordering the guards around, getting angry over the littlest things, accusing Aro of cheating, not to mention trying to seduce the male guards?"
"You ruined my life!" she snarled.
"No, you did. I was just lucky to survive and escape the furnace." Vladimir and Stefan widened their eyes at me.
"You survived the furnace?" they looked at Sulpicia. "What else have you not told us?"
"You shouldn't have trusted her, what did she tell you?" the bitch smirked again.
"I merely gave them the opportunity to get back at my bastard husband."
"He was never your husband, you stupid slut. Just because you couldn't be faithful to him and you get mad because I was the one he fell in love with doesn't mean he's a bastard. He's actually better to me than he probably ever was to you."
"Oh really?" she walked up and slapped me. "If he's that way now, what makes you think he won't do the same to you?" I stared at her.
"C'mon girl, do you really think you're the only woman he's ever swooned?" Stefan smirked.
"He's had many women over the years, who knows maybe he's even fucked Jane, or Heidi, or maybe even his shield guard Renata?"
"Probably even a few humans on the side." They were trying to anger me, and while it was starting to work I could feel my power radiating inside. If I didn't keep it under control I could end up burning more than a few vampires.
"He's a leader after all." Vladimir touched my shoulder. "He could have any woman he wants, he would never settle for only one." I grabbed his hand, I wanted to burn him but first I'd buy a little time. I had a feeling my disappearance didn't go unnoticed.
"I know what you're trying to do, and I suggest that you either stop or at least keep it to yourself." Sulpicia held up my wrist.
"Did he give you this bracelet?"
"So what if he did?" she dropped my wrist.
"It's very expensive; he always gives expensive gifts to the female guards."
"For their services to the coven, and it's not just the women he rewards it's the boys too."
"Ah but it's not just the service as guards, it could also be the fact that most of them warm Aro's bed." Now she was really starting to annoy me.
"Try all you want Sulpicia, but it won't work and you know it'll only end badly." I got into her face. "You should know how dangerous I really am." I caught the flicker of fear in her blood red eyes, but it was soon replaced by a look of anger.
"You will regret that girl. If you haven't noticed we are surrounded by water, and you cannot use your gift…" she gave me a hard shove and I ended up in the waist deep part of the ocean. "If you're wet." Oh now she was in for it.
"Nice try Sulpicia, but you're way off here." I stood up and instantly I was dry. "Water has no effect on me." in my hands formed fireballs.
"What the…?" she stepped back, eyes widened in fear as were the two Romanians. "That's impossible…"
"I've been working on it, and it's actually more powerful than I thought." Just as I stepped back onto the shore I heard screeching sounds, yelling. I looked over their heads and I could see movement in the cave, and that movement was in the shape of a human, no, a newborn vampire.
"You failed to mention that you whore!" Vladimir snarled at Sulpicia. "You tricked us!"
"I didn't know it would work like that you ungrateful fools! Even if she is powerful she's got an entire army against her." Sulpicia smirked again, and this time I returned the smirk.
"Wrong again bitch, but before I do anything else, let me sing you a little song. Sound ok?" they stared at me, but I didn't even bother waiting for an answer. I began to sing a verse or two from Taylor Swift's 'Love Story', and even now my mind would wander as I sang.
It was another personal favorite song of mine, but I cut it off at the middle only because this story was almost a match to the song. As I sang it they all just stared at me, even the newborns behind them stopped and stared; not something I wanted and I'm no attention whore, it was just a distraction.
"You are the whore; you think Aro would ever truly love you? Aro never loved me, he used me as a trophy and it's only a matter of time before he does the same thing to you." That did it, my entire body ignited and the newborns jumped back in fear.
"RUN!" Vladimir shouted but one ball of fire to his back and he went down. Stefan cried out in horror and I shot him down too. The newborns tried to run but with my hands extended in front of me a huge flame extended over them and they all went down.
'Forgive me, but none of you deserved to go through what they did to you.' None of them could hear me, but I was likely doing them a favor. I looked at Sulpicia, who was frozen in terror. "And now for you." I walked close and when she tried to run and I stepped in front of her, and grabbed her by the throat.
"Ugh!" she made a choking sound. "Whore…you are nothing…"
"Don't even try, it's not gonna work; the only reason you did all this was to get back at Aro. He loved you Sulpicia, and you tried to betray him. You got power hungry and turned into a bitch, you could've been happier but instead you made everyone miserable."
"It was mine…everything was mine!" I squeezed a little tighter.
"You had everything, but you threw it away the minute you turned your head. He loved you, he never betrayed you. If anyone's the whore it's you, now we're going on a little walk and I'm sure that Aro would like a few words with you." Her eyes widened and she struggled, but I grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and practically dragged her down the shore. The flames were dying down in the waves, and as I walked down the shore with my hostage I saw several other dark figures coming over.
'Aro…' I saw his face, full of worry, and then I started to sing again. This time to the part where 'Romeo' would show up to see me 'Juliet' after it felt so long ago he had left. My favorite part of the song...hell I like a lot of songs.
Aro and the others must've heard me, but all my thoughts vanished as he rushed up to me with the guards, and a few of the Cullens.
"Kitty…are you alright?" his eyes looked ready to shed tears, but of course vampires can't cry.
"Fine, the Romanians and the newborns are all dead. Water's washing away the evidence, she's the only one left." I held Sulpicia up by her neck.
"You will regret this whore; sooner or later you will regret this." Aro glared at her, then motioned for Demetri and Felix to come forward. They grabbed her and held her by the arms, she struggled but it was useless.
"Never had a chance, I knew they didn't really have you but I knew it would lead to other problems so I went out on a limb." Aro pulled me into his arms, and while he embraced me I was stiff.
"Kitty?" he pulled away and I touched his arm.
"Not yet, deal with her first." I pointed at the bitch, and he nodded before walking over to her. I went over to Carlisle, Alice, Jasper, and Emmett and Alice hugged me.
"So glad you're safe." I hugged back.
"Takes more than newborns to kill me." I turned back and watched Aro give Sulpicia a hard look.
"Words alone cannot express how sorely disappointed I am in you Sulpicia. I thought you had more sense than this." She snorted.
"Hmph, you shouldn't have left me."
"You gave me no other option, you threw away everything we had and for the sake of what?" she growled but it sounded more like an angry roar.
"You stopped loving me! You never cared about me you only used me, you whored around with the other guards, especially your precious Jane!"
"She is like my daughter just as Alec is like my son; you're the one who tried to whore around." He leaned down to her level. "I loved you ever since we first met…" she snarled.
"Just like you loved her." She looked at me. "She's just your next bitch, nothing but a trophy. You let her swoon in front and give her expensive jewelry just like you did with me! You never loved me!" he stared at her for several minutes, and then reached into his robe pulling out what looked like a red silk handkerchief with a gold S sewn into it.
"Do you recognize this?" he held it out to her. "It's the silk handkerchief you gave to me the night we mated. You made it yourself, and you asked if I would carry it with me always. I said yes, and then I promised you that as long as I loved you I would always carry it with me. I kept that promise for centuries, even after I found out you were being unfaithful. Up until months ago, it never left my pocket." Her eyes were even wider, and then she looked like she could breakdown.
"No..no…" she shook her head frantically.
"I loved you Sulpicia, but that love is gone. You lost it the minute you started treating everyone, including me like garbage. I cannot forgive what you've done, siding with our enemies and helping create an entire army of newborns in our territory. You have no idea how serious this is, and for it you will be punished." He stood up. "Make it quick." He turned back and walked to me.
"I'll do it." Jane walked over to behind Sulpicia, and grabbed her head just as Felix and Demetri ripped her arms off. She screamed and Jane pulled her head off, while Alec started the fire and her body was thrown into it. They couldn't show her mercy, she didn't deserve it.
Aro was quiet, and as he watched the fire burn Sulpicia's body to ashes he had a look that I didn't recognize, right before he threw the handkerchief into the flames. The guards cleaned up the rest of the mess, and then Carlisle touched my hand.
"Let's head back to the palace, I'm sure the others will want to see you." I nodded, but before I turned around to follow I noticed Aro had not moved even when the fire died down. Sulpicia's words echoed in my head, and I began to wonder more.
Sulpicia had met her end, but what if she wasn't lying about what she said?
Does Aro still want me?
Hope you liked it, next one is the last chapter before the epilogue and the epilogue might be the wedding chapter. Still undecided on that. Had to take out the song lyrics since FF has gotten strict on their copyright laws with song fics, we can't put in the actual lyrics due to legal issues even disclaimers won't cut it. Oh well.
Next one will be a bit shorter, but it'll pick up for a little surprise in store for our Kitty.
R&R
Later!
