Previously; "Dan I'll call you back. someone's coming."
"Ok. Try to get more information out of them if you can. Stay safe."
"I will, thanks Dan." I hung up and sat back down, wiping my tears with my fingers.
Thanks for all the reviews. Please keep them coming. I didn't meet my goal last chapter so I will drop it back to 25 reviews this chapter. You have given me more than that for chapter 23, so please help me out. Thanks xo
The opaque glass doors opened and the small woman who kidnapped me stepped through it.
"Kaitlin, good morning." She said in a high pitched voice.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, how rude of me. I'm Jane."
"Welcome to the Volturi." The Volturi?! As in the 'royal' vampires? Oh this is not good. I felt the fear freeze on my face.
"Aro would like to have a word with you Kaitlin."
"Who is Aro?" I asked timidly, I remembered from my vision that you do not piss off the Volturi unless you have a death wish.
"Aro is... the boss." She said with an amused expression on her face as she turned and walked back to the doors and walked back through them. I deliberated for a minute before following her.
We soon reached a big room with fluorescent lights. A grey haired man stood in front of some other men who seemed to be guards.
"Ahh. Kaitlin!" he said in a chalky voice.
"Kaitlin, this is Aro." Jane announced stepping aside. I took a hesitant step forward.
"Nice to meet you dear girl." Aro said extending his hand for mine. I reached my quivering hand forward and placed it into his. With a sudden flash I got an insight into his mind, into every thought he had ever had. I saw everything they were all about. And it terrified me. As a reflex reaction I pulled my hand free and stepped back.
"Hmm. Interesting. A lot like your mother I see."
My heart was pounding in my chest. I wanted to get out of here before their guards got back, I now recognised every face in the room and I knew that they were waiting to be fed.
Aro sensed my fear and hesitation. "Well, Kaitlin we want you to join us." He said simply. But I already knew this. But I realised that they hadn't realised that I had seen into Aro's mind. I kept quiet and continued listening to his thoughts.
"Kaitlin, we are the 'Royal' coven of vampires, everyone in this world answers to us and us only. The list of opportunities and the level of power is endless. You could do great things here."
"Having a bred vampire among us, there is no telling the wonders it could do for us. Imagine her hunting skills. And the powers she must posses. I wonder if she already knows what they are."
I decided not to share my abilities with them. "What do you mean? What opportunities?" I asked.
"I think you would like it here. It really is a very peaceful place, we can teach you so much about yourself and the rest of our kind."
"I believe she won't come into her full powers and her immortality until she changes her diet, from the looks of it she is still eating human food. Once she makes the change to human blood she will come into her full potential. I'm sure animal blood would suffice some too, but she doesn't need to know that. We need her."
They want me to be a murderer! I felt the fear on my face as my jaw dropped and the tears started to fall, blowing my cover. "No thank you."
Jane stepped forward now, coming in between me and Aro. "Bet she's not immune to this." She thought before seizing her eyes with a grin on her face.
"NO!" I heard my father's voice from behind me. I turned to see my family. Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper, Uncle Emmet and Aunt Rosalie, My parents. The all came to my rescue. They were being held back by Felix and some other guards. I felt relief wash over me.
Suddenly a cold hand grabbed my wrist, demanding my attention. Jane was pulling me towards the other end of the room. I struggled in her grasp, trying to break free while staring into her eyes, to see if she were going to do anything that I should be prepared for. She suddenly let go and fell to the floor. Writhing in pain. I gasped and stepped back. What was happening?
"Ahhh!! Stop!! Stop it!" she screamed. I couldn't bare it. I had to look away. As soon as I did she stopped screaming. Had I done that? I looked around the room at all the shocked faces. I had done that. I felt the tears accelerate down my face. I just wished I could disappear.
There was a sudden gasp around the room. And everyone's eyes wandered around the room as if looking for something. Felix – as I now recognised thanks to Aro- and the guards stepped away, letting my family through. My mother had a smug smile on her face, as they all made a circle around the room.
I didn't understand this behaviour. What was happening? "Dad?" I called out hesitantly. My voice was soft and shaky.
"Kaitlin? Where are you?" he called back turning around to my direction but looking off into the distance. Completely confused I walked up to him and wept into his shoulder. He gasped, before putting his arms around me.
"She's invisible? Who did she get that one from? Or is it her own?" He thought.
"Invisible?" I asked astonished.
"Kaitlin, we can't see you." He said quietly.
That made sense now. But where did I get it from?
"NO!!" my mother screamed standing in front of me and my father. I turned to see Jane with the same expression on her face as before she grabbed me.
I now understood. My mother and I were immune to their powers. That's what Aro meant before. And why Dad yelled earlier. But that doesn't mean that I am unable to absorb them. So when Jane was writhing on the floor in pain and everyone stared at us, I had been using her own power against her- without even knowing what it was.
"That's enough Jane." Aro's voice was firm. Jane stepped aside. And my mother came around to where Dad and I were. Although we were still here in this horrible place, I now felt somewhat safe. My heart rate slowed and my tears stopped. Everyone gasped again.
I gave my father a confused look. He smiled. "You're back." He thought.
Oh. I sighed. This was going to get really annoying.
"Uhh- ummm" Felix cleared his throat.
My mother took my hand and brought me back to the side of the room as my father and the rest of my family stepped forward.
"This is her decision Edward." Aro spoke up.
"And she has chosen Aro." He responded confidently.
"You could all join us. The possibilities are endless."
"I believe we have had this discussion before. We are not interested."
"Edward I really don't think we can allow you to leave at this point."
"Kaity!?" A stressed, scared voice that made my heart race screamed from the doorway.
My head snapped up to see the fear set on Dan's face as he took in what he had just walked in on, it mirrored the fear and distress I felt. No! Dan should not be dragged into this. He didn't need to see any of this. To be exposed to this world.
How will Dan react? Who's power is the invisibility? Will the volturi let them go?
I apologize in advance and hope to not get attacked with pitch forks. I may not update for a while as I have lots of school stuff coming up and I wanna spend all my free time reading breaking dawn right now as I'm sure you do too.
ONE special reviewer will get the opportunity to ask me ONE question about the future of the story. and I WILL respond. the way it will work is im writing down a number right now. e.g. 11. if you are the 11th review on this chapter. u will get the question and i will let u know of it as a response to your review. BTW that was hypothetical. the number is not 11. I'm not going to tell you what the number is. I will continue this for the next few chapters..
so please! get reviewing!! :)
