Author's note: So hey um, I got bored and decided to write this fanfic. I know, I know, there are already loads of stories like this because I'm just unoriginal aha, but I kinda just started writing this for myself more than anything. This story basically revolves around this girl Eliana, a human who discovers she's mated to the three Volturi kings. I hope you like it, and this is my first story so excuse any stupid typos or anything. I just hope you enjoy reading, and this doesn't completely flop aha :)
Oh and before I forget, a quick word of warning, some of the language in this I wouldn't exactly call child friendly, so please be sensible. Also there might end up being a lil' bit of minor smut/violence, but only time will tell *hehe*. Enjoy reading, ily!

Chapter 1

I instantly felt an ache in my heart as I gasped in pain, my hand on my chest. The three men in front of me looked on with some level of concern, but their expressions were incredibly hard to read. Gradually, the voices surrounding me became increasingly muffled, and my vision became a blur. Just as my knees gave in to my weight, I felt a pair of arms surround me. I could faintly hear his voice, which was in a somewhat reassuring tone, but again it was difficult to tell. Looking up, my eyes locked on a pair of deep red eyes, as his words came into focus.

"Eliana, it's okay, you're safe, no one can hurt you…"

A loud female voice startled me; sounding angered at whatever it is that was going on around me.

"Let her go Aro, just leave her alone!"

It was at that point where it felt like reality was fading away, like I was slowly falling away from existence entirely. The voices became much more alarmed than before, however my body simply too exhausted to notice.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My eyes remained closed, as my eyelids felt too heavy to lift. As my body began to slip back into consciousness, I could hear a whispered conversation in the room.

"How long has she been like this for?" a familiar voice asked. It took me a few second, but not long to realise this was Alice's.

"About 16 hours. I've been by her side the entire time, however she hasn't so much as stirred." Now this voice was definitely new to me. It had a slight feeling of anger to it, but it was somehow comforting.

Painfully, my eyes fluttered open, and my gaze landed on three male figures stood above me. I instantly identified them as the men I saw in the throne room, which confused me immensely. What were they doing here? I'd been told of the Volturi leaders, for they were known to be ruthless and unforgiving, with no care for human life whatsoever.

The raven-haired man knelt beside me, placing his hand in mine. All of the muscles in my body urged me to pull away from him, but his eyes just seemed so familiar to me. It was then that I recognised them from the throne room, and I realised it was Aro.

I glanced over to the left of him, where I saw the other two men, both with concerned expressions on their faces. I thought these people were supposed to be cold and unforgiving, but apparently not? The dark-haired one spoke.

"Finally you've woken up, il mio amore, we were terribly worried about you"

I glanced up to Alice, who was stood at the end of the bed, and gave her a puzzled look. She simply smiled, and said "We're glad you're okay."

'Okay' was an overstatement to say the least. I felt a pain surging up and down my body, and my head throbbed painfully. Surely this couldn't be happening. Who were these people to show so much concern about my wellbeing? I barely even knew who they were, and I only knew one of their names. Fed up of whatever it was that was going on, I gathered up all the energy I had left in me and attempted to sit myself up, but my head was only able to lift a few inches away from the pillow beneath it before it fell back.

"I wouldn't bother trying to get up. You went through a lot yesterday, and using up any more energy will only cause you more pain."

My eyes squinted up to meet another pair of red eyes, belonging to a man with blonde hair and an authoritative feeling about him.

"Can we get you anything?" Aro asked.

I was incredibly confused at this point, but he had reminded me that I hadn't eaten in almost 24 hours. I opened my mouth to ask, but closed it again, as it didn't feel appropriate.

"Sorry who are you guys?" I asked. My voice came out as a quivered whisper, as my throat was incredibly dry.

Aro looked at the other two, before turning his head back to me.

"I think we've already met, my dear, although I doubt you remember. I'm-"

I cut him off. "Aro, yes I know. But who are the other two?"

The blonde-haired man grinned, before responding. "My name is Caius, and this is Marcus" he said, gesturing to the other man standing beside him.

"Okay," I replied. "But why am I here? Actually, here's a better question, why are you three here?"

"Yes, there's something we must explain to you, but it may take some time." Marcus responded.

I sighed. "Well you might as well begin now, it's not as if I'm going anywhere like this."

Aro lightly nudged Marcus in the shoulder. "Maybe now isn't the time." He muttered, before turning to me, a smile playing on his lips.

I raised an eyebrow at him, giving him a quizzical look, but to this he simply sighed. There was clearly something going on here, and I wasn't going to wait until I grow old and die to find out. I mean, in the space of less than 24 hours, I was now immobilised in some stranger's bed, and being cared for the Volturi kings. What had the world come to?

"In that case, I we'll leave you to rest. The last thing we need is for your condition to worsen, carissima." Caius spoke, with a slightly unnerving softness to his voice.

This was getting out of hand. My Italian may have been slightly rusty, but really? Carissima? If I was correct, this meant dearest. Was he really being serious? For heaven's sake, I barely knew these people. As far as I was concerned, the Volturi are a ruthless and unforgiving coven, to be avoided, as they were willing to do whatever it took to get what they wanted. And now, before my eyes, I was referred to as dearest? Wow, this whole vampire world was weird.

Apparently I'd been pondering this thought for longer than I'd realised, as all three men were giving me the same unreadable expressions. I assumed this was a look of concern? I mean, at this point, this entire scenario could've been in my head and I wouldn't have been suprised.

I was quick to snap out of whatever dazed state I was in, before replying with "I'm fine, you guys go."

Wow, why was I being so awkward suddenly?

With that, the three of them left quietly, before closing the door behind them, and I sighed, maybe slightly too loudly.

Quickly, my attention snapped to Alice, who seemed to be suppressing a laugh in the background. She clearly knew something I didn't, and I was willing to do whatever it took to get her to spill.

"What's up with you?" I asked, which caused her to laugh hysterically. Now, there was definitely something I didn't know.

"Nothing, nothing, I just-" her sentence was quickly cut off by her laugh, which echoed through the empty halls.

"I swear," I began, now attempting to suppress a giggle myself, "if you don't tell me what the fuck is going on, I'll-"

"You'll what? You can barely move Eli!" she interrupted, before completely losing control of her laughter again. My word, sometimes I don't know how I dealt with her and her child-like attitude to things. In all seriousness though, something was being held from me, and I wasn't going to rest until I found out what.

A few moments later, once Alice had regained some form of composure, she simply said "I'm really not in a place to tell you Eli, just trust me okay?"

To this I rolled my eyes, but still I smiled slightly. I guessed I had to put two and two together, and simply just wait for Aro or whoever to tell her what was going on here.

I closed my eyes and used the force of my weight to turn myself onto my side, but something just wasn't letting me sleep. Without warning, a sharp pain ran through my body, before disappearing, leaving me with an ache across all of my muscles, as if I had been covered from head to toe in bruises. The pain was becoming too unbearable to sleep with, so I decided to take a shower in an attempt to distract myself from whatever just happened today.

I climbed out of bed to realise that I was still in the same outfit as before, but my shoes and jacket had been removed, and from looking around, taken away. Alice had left a few hours ago, so only I remained in the room, and in a struggle, I stumbled across the room to a large wooden wardrobe. I assumed it would be empty, considering the room probably didn't belong to anybody, but to my surprise the clothing racks were completely filled with clothing in my style, and apparently my size. I hastily pulled down a white cropped t-shirt with some jeans and headed to the bathroom, before pausing. I didn't even know where the bathroom was, let alone if I was allowed to use it, but another wooden door on the other side of the room caught my attention, so I carefully opened it. To be honest, I half expected to walk in to someone's actual bedroom, or worse, one of the Volturi kings', but fortunately this door led to a pristine white bathroom.

During my shower, several thoughts popped into my head. Firstly, where on earth was I? I mean, I gathered that I was still in Volterra, but how come I didn't remember anything? How did I even get here? I decided that the next time I were to see anyone, I wouldn't let them go before they explained themselves. Actually though, I was a human in fairness, and not only that but I was also apparently in a weak state, so I didn't actually know how I was going to find out anything, but one thing was for certain: there was something I needed to know.
