Running Into Fate

Chapter 1

London, England - 1472.

One of the perks of being a vampire was that I was able to silently stalk my victim. I kept my crimson red eyes fixated on the human being walking forward and away from me. They must have realised that they were walking into a danger zone, it must be their natural instinct telling them that they weren't walking into a safe place but that wouldn't be able to stop them from avoiding their fate.

When I made sure that the human was the only one in the area, I darted towards the young man and wrapped my arms around him from behind, making sure that I clasped my hand over his mouth to stop any sound from escaping. He thrashed around in my arms but that only made me tighten my grip. I could feel the warmth radiating off his skin and onto my cold body. I could hear his heartbeat increasing, quicker and quicker as every second passed by. I opened my airways and let myself breathe for the moment, taking in the scent of his sweet blood and my burning throat yearned for the red liquid. Not wanting to drag out my hunger for any longer, I opened my mouth and sank my razor-sharp teeth into the delicate skin of his neck and the warm blood oozed into my mouth, satisfying my hunger and taking away the aching pain in my throat.

Feeling his body go limp in my arms, I knew that his body was fully drained of blood and I threw him on the floor, not bothering to cover up my tracks. No one was ever going to figure out who did it anyway.

I looked down at the body and cast my eyes over his young, delicate face. He must have been around his late teens, meaning that he had a family, maybe even a wife. I shook my head to rid the emotion that was brewing up inside of me, it wasn't a rare occurrence, I would feel it every single time I made a kill but I had no choice. It was my source of diet and it was a part of who I am.

After I was done and my meal would hold off the thirst for a while, I decided to explore the small town, to see what I could find to keep me from boredom. This wasn't a perk of being a vampire, being able to not sleep for the rest of my immortal life. It was one of things I missed the most about being human and I wish to be able to dream again, watching different situations, my brain created, play out in my head. The thing that I missed the most about being human was my family. I had a loving family and I was the eldest of three kids, I was the one who would look after my younger siblings because my mother and father were too busy trying to make some money and look for food to feed five mouths. It wasn't the best lifestyle but we were getting by and the thing that held us together was love and dedication.

Now I'm alone, in the very same town I originated from. In the very same town I was turned.

I don't have a recollection of how it exactly happened. One minute I was on my way back from the market and the next I was in excruciating pain. It felt like flames were all over my body and under my skin, travelling through every single individual muscle and vein. That lasted for about three days and when I woke up, I was lying on the muddy floor. Scared and confused were the first of my emotions. I didn't know what happened to me, I didn't know who did this to me but almost immediately after the change, the burning in my throat kicked in and I fed on the nearest human.

I never physically showed up at my house, instead I kept my distance from my family and watched them from afar because of the thirst for human blood. It broke my heart when the realisation hit them that I was never going to return and I watched them slowly break away from each other, the bond wasn't as strong when I was alive. I was the glue of the family.

I had always wondered what they thought happened to me but I hoped that they thought I just wanted to grow up and find a life of my own since I was eighteen and I should have at least been married by then. It made me a little bit happier thinking like that, at least they would think about me being alive and healthy. After a while, it became difficult to watch them because my mother was the first one of the family to pass away and barely a month later, it was my father's turned. I don't know what happened to my siblings after that.

It took me a while to figure out what I was.

My skin was different. It was as hard as granite and shined like diamonds in the sunlight, which I made sure no one in vision range saw. My body temperature was dramatically low, I was like a block of ice. And every time I caught a scent of human blood, venom filled my mouth.

The moment I knew was when I thought back to my father telling my siblings and I stories about monsters draining blood from human beings. Back then, I only thought that it was a way to stop us from misbehaving but realisation hit me like a ton of bricks. That wasn't just a story, it was truth.

I was turned into a vampire.

A bloodcurdling scream captured my attention and my reflexes were as quick as lightning. I sprinted to where the sound came from but I made sure I hid myself behind a small hut. I peaked my head around the building and saw a herd of people. I focused my eyes and took in every single detail. Their skin was as hard as mine and their eyes were also like mine. They too, were a vampire just like me.

I tilted my head in confusion and wondered why I've never seen them in town before. I never heard any of their painful screams, they must not be from around here. However, I kept my eyes on them as they growled at one another and at their victims, they had absolutely no control whatsoever. I don't remember ever being as ruthless as this group of vampires but maybe I just had high self-control and kept myself well hidden. Their movements were wild and uncoordinated.

My curiosity got the better of me and I had to know what was going on so I stepped out from my hidden place and made my way into the middle of the group. They didn't seem to notice my presence as they were far too interested in their meal. As much as I wanted to stop one and asked them about the situation, my instinct told me not to and I refrained from doing so.

From my peripheral vision, I spotted a group of cloaked figures heading towards the area, with the same speed as mine. So much was happening in so little time, I couldn't get away fast enough and I was soon face to face with a tall, slim man whose hair stopped at the middle of his back. Standing on either side of him were two men who were taller than him. One had blonde hair and the other the same as the mysterious man standing in front of me. Behind the three men were others but I didn't pay as much attention to them.

"My, oh my, what do we have here?" His voice was soft and light. It was captivating but it screamed danger.

I looked at him with confusion written all over my face and I kept quiet, not knowing what to say to this stranger.

"It seems as though we have a slight problem, young one," the tone of his voice stayed the same throughout and my face further fell into confusion.

Turning my head around from side to side, I quickly looked at what was happening around me and the vampires seemed to be doing the same thing as they were before. Just like they didn't notice me, they also didn't notice the strangers standing in front of me.

"That's right, you and these newborns are causing an issue and you risk exposure to our kind." There were more vampires?

"Who are you?" I questioned, demandingly as I let my eyes run along the line of the vampires in cloaked garments.

"You haven't heard of us? We're The Volturi and we have your creator captured and killed for the mass creation of newborns. You were amongst the ones I saw in her thoughts," a smirk grew on his face, showing that he had something else to say but he was waiting for my response.

"I don't know who my creator is," I replied.

"Lies!" The blonde male spoke up for the first time since his appearance. He stared at me with death in his eyes that would have made my heartbeat quicken if I was human.

"Brother, I will decide what is the truth and what is not," the middle man raised up his hand and the blonde male drew back in defeat. But before I could say anything he grabbed my hand and his eyes misted over. I didn't know what he was doing but seconds later he dropped my hand like it was a hot branding iron. The look he gave me was one that matched mine just moments ago. It was confusion but laced with it was curiosity. I saw him give a boy a nod. The boy was standing next to a blonde girl and their facial features were so similar yet so different, I processed their young faces and realised they were twins.

The boy raised up both of his hands towards me and a vapour came pouring out of his fingers and his palms.

What was this? Is it going to kill me?

I watched as the vapour slowly made it's way towards me and once it came to a close proximity, I adverted my eyes and glared into the man's own eyes. I waited until the vapour engulfed me and I prepared myself on what was to come but nothing happened. I felt the same as I did before the vapour.

"Alec." Just like he did before, he raised his hand, once again, but this time it was in front of the boy and he instantly withdrew the vapour.

"Aro…" Alec began to speak but he was cut off when Aro threw his gaze into the boy's direction.

"My gift didn't work, Alec's gift didn't work." Aro cocked his head slightly to the side and his eyes ran from mine to the blonde girl standing next to her twin brother. "Jane, show her what your gift can do."

Jane's eyes focused on someone behind me and I turned around to see a newborn writhing and crying in pain. It was like he was being turned for the first time. The pain must be the same. The feeling of the burning flames came into my thoughts and I was soon afraid of what I was going to feel. I had the chance to run while they were distracted but a small clear of Aro's throat brought all the attention back to him.

"Please, I'm not lying," I pleaded with the man but all he gave me was a psychotic smile and nodded to Jane. Her eyes were now focused on me and I was preparing myself for the pain that was to come. I closed my eyes and held my head down as I solidified my movements. However, I wasn't starting to feel anything at all so with the most amount of courage I could muster, I opened my eyes and looked up at Aro and then at Jane. I could see the annoyance beginning to build in Jane as her gift wasn't having an affect on me and when she decided it was enough, I saw her foot step forward out of place and the only thing that stopped her from moving further forward was her brother.

"Interesting, you're a shield," Aro spoke as the psychotic smile never left his face but it seemed like he remembered exactly what they came here for, he dropped the smile and gave a signal, which was a wave of his hand, to the small army behind him. They all made their way to the commotion behind me and him and the two guys stood where they were standing.

Thinking about what Aro said, I wanted to know what that meant. I never even knew vampires were able to have gifts and I wanted to ask him more, I want him to explain, to tell me what it meant for me being a shield.

"What's your name?" He questioned and stretched out his hand.

"Isabella Swan," I replied and looked at his outstretched hand but kept mine by my sides. When he noticed that I wasn't going to take it, he withdrew his hand but didn't let his composure falter.

"Marcus, Caius and I would like you to join our coven." I could compare his voice to being a soft and light as feathers but like before, I could sense danger in it and as I heard the screams and the cracks of granite behind me, I turned around to stare at the ripped vampire limbs and a small fire situated in the middle. This coven was dangerous and I didn't like what they were doing, even if the newborns were being reckless. In my mind, it wasn't right but in theirs it was the right thing. I turned back to the three men and shook my head but the next thing I saw was an angered face.

"You will join our coven!" Aro growled, along with Caius but Marcus kept his face the same.

"No!" I retaliated and I knew that this was the moment I was going to get away from this. In a blink of an eye, I turned around and speedily sprint away from the scene. I ran into the forest and dodged the branches that were threatening to catch me in the face. I almost thought I was away from them but I heard quick footsteps following closely behind me.

They were after me like I was a fugitive.

I swerved my way around the trees as fast as I could but they were still hot on my heels. I quickly took a look behind and I saw that it was a very tall, muscular, dark-haired vampire and a slightly shorter one with dirty blonde hair. My mind began to race just as fast as I was racing through the forest. The one difficulty I had was my attire, being in a dress was beginning to slow me down so without any thought, I threw my dress off my body and kept my under garments on, I didn't stop running though because if I did I would be caught and who knows what they might do to me if that happened.

I came to a stop when I reached the edge of the country and I took one more look behind and saw that the two men were close to me. The only option I had was to carry on moving forward.

I stepped into the ocean and my senses were still the same as they were when I was on land.

A/N: I've had this idea in my head for a while now and I've finally planned the first three chapters for this and written the first one, which you've just read, so I'm going to continue planning, writing and updating. I can't promise on the exact update times but I will try my best to not make it too long of a wait.

I was actually torn on who I should pair Bella with and couldn't decide between Tanya and Kate but Kate is my favourite character so I sided with her.

One last thing, if you have any questions don't be afraid to shoot me a PM.
