Pfffttt. I don't own the Twilight Series. Pffttt. Please. Pfftt.
Again, sorry if it's rushed. But at least I got something out...? Enjoy.
Chapter 29: Carmen POV
I stood near in Adrian, vaguely remembering our last encounter with the Volturi in this same field. I had a power... which was bad. And with my power, it made it even worse.
Apparently, I was likable in each and every way. No one could dislike me. I guess you could say I was an enchantress. But it was a bit different than that. The reason Jacob thought I smelled good, unlike the rest of my family, was because of my power... which, again, was not good for our 'meeting' with Aro.
Bella would shield us while Aro came. Everyone was hoping my power wouldn't work while he was there. I was hoping so, too.
When Aro arrived, he seemed excited... in his Aro-like way.
"Hello, dear Cullens!" he greeted us. "Carmen, you look wonderful as a vampire."
I smiled shyly. He still gave me the creeps. "Thank you."
Aro sometimes reminds me of a pedophile. Take right now for an example. Weirdo.
"I'm sure you all remember the terms of our agreement," he said. "Now, are you going to tell me the truth or lie?"
"Carmen has no useful power," Edward said confidently.
"I'd like to hear it from Carmen, if you don't mind."
I gulped. I had never really been good at lying, not ever. It was one of the only things I hadn't picked up on.
"Well, you heard it from Edward," I said nervously, hoping it wouldn't show. I glanced at Edward. From the look on his face, I was sure I wasn't very convincing. "If you'd like to see for yourself..."
Where did that come from?
"Actually, that would be perfect," Aro purred.
I gulped again. We were toast.
"I still don't get how you managed to do that!" Adrian exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes, plopping down on the couch and handing Seth the popcorn bowl.
"For the last time, it. Was. My. Power!" I nearly yelled.
Emmett laughed. "Get used to that Adrian. It's how all them Cullen women are."
This statement resulted in all us 'Cullen women' throwing popcorn at him.
"She's a manipulator," Dad explained, "an illusionist if you will. She's able to make people see what they want to see with her and believe what she wants them too."
"So if I wanted you to look like a hot blond, I could?" Emmett asked.
Rosalie smacked him in the back of the head. "You already have one."
He winced and rubbed his head. "Not that I'd want to. She's my little sister. That would be gross."
I rolled my eyes again.
"So is everything back to normal?" Nessie asked.
I shrugged. "Depends. You guys weren't thinking of finding another stray baby in the woods, were you?"

And that's the end! I'm really sorry it took so long. I had no idea how to end it. I didn't necessarily find inspiration in this, but I finished it watching Johnny Test. I'm a kid at heart. :) Thanks to everyone who ever read and reviewed! And also to those who gave me constructive criticism. You guys make writing worth it. So, to end on a good note, review one last time.
On an even better note, my sister was born Friday! Yay!
Reviews Make The World Go Round!
