"That's right" I say smugly

Good, he seems impressed as I had predicted.

"To possess such beauty and talent! How marvelous!" Aro says gleefully "May I?"

I walk to him and just as I'm about to place my hands on his, a loud growl is heard throughout the room surprising us all.

I shift my attention to the source of the growl and see the beautiful guy glaring towards us while the blonde girl stares at him, shock clear in her face.

I furrow my eyebrow, why did he growl? Does he think I will hurt his master?

Though when I look at the boy, I notice his glare is directed at Aro and not me.

Does he think Aro can hurt me? Ha! that's funny I could burn his creepy face before he could touch a strand of my red curls.

Aro's signature creepy smile disappeared as he looked at the boy with an unreadable face, Caius was really surprised and angry but he held his tongue, smart move or I would have burned it, while the third master who had been watching the scene before him uninterestedly actually raised his eyebrow and looked at the boy, much like the entire guard that stays silent.

"Alec... what was that?" Aro asked him calmly though anger was clear in his eyes.

Alec… so that's his name, I almost smile happily at finally knowing the name of the boy that has captured my attention and draws me towards him like no one before.

I almost whisper his name in excitement and happiness but stop myself and scold myself for thinking so stupidly.

Alec looks back at Aro and his glare disappears and instead he looks surprised from his own action.

Why is he so surprised? Did he do that automatically?

"Alec…" Aro let his words hang to let Alec know he is still waiting for an answer.

Alec glares again not backing down but I can notice he is tense and still doesn't open his mouth, I can see Jane look fearfully between Alec and Aro.

Why are they pressing him on? I just want to throw a fireball at Aro for making him worried.

Wait, why do I care? I've never defended anyone unless they're close to me or I benefit from it.

That guy is making me feel strange…

Before I could decide whether to throw a fireball to Aro or not Marcus reached over to Aro and muttered "Brother…" and held his hand.

Aro now turning to Marcus has his face blank for a second before a wide smile came to his lips.

"Ahhh so that's how it is" Aro said

Aro then turned towards Alec with a smile "Do not worry, I will not harm her"

Which Alec responded with the tinniest nod, his blank expression returning but I can see relief in his gaze.

"How very lucky, my child" Aro tells Alec with his usual creepy smile "Such a prize…"

Prize? I don't know whether to be offended or not.

"Brother are unwell?" I notice Jane asking Alec

Brother…? Oh… Jane and Alec the witch twins, how could I not notice it before?

Jealousy usually blinds people, I hear a voice in the back of my head.

Damn you, I'm not jealous.

"I'm fine, sister" he says but looks at me.

I quickly turn my attention back to Aro before he can hypnotize me further.

Aro, again turned to me "Dear, may I?"

Tch, I'm seriously debating whether to burn his hand or not.

I decide against it and close our distance and place my hand in his and he immediately put his other hand on top of it.
I will not lie, It felt uncomfortable to have my whole existence revealed to him but I knew it was necessary if I wanted they're trust besides its impossible for them to know some vital information I have unless I tell them myself.

For that I was thankful but Aro will still know about everything else about me and that made me feel vulnerable as I like to be unpredictable for people to have no idea how I work and when I will strike.

Aro finally releases my hand and gives me a wide smile.

"Firstly I would like to thank you for not burning my hand" Aro says playfully, though he knows very well I was highly considering it.

"You're very welcome" I say with a smirk.

"To think the Fire Angel actually existed!" Are laughs, a little maniacally if you ask me "I've heard many stories about you but I though they were just myths!"

Many of the guard are confused from their master's words but others are surprised and look at me with respect and some with fear.

"It seems my reputation proceeds me" I smirk, I did a good job in hiding if even the Volturi leader though I was a myth. "But I prefer the nickname Fire Witch"

Fire Angel is my most popular nickname but it always sounded too holy, and my actions are the opposite of that.

"You possess such a rare and extraordinary gift!" Aro grins "Seraphina, we would love for you to join the Volturi"

"That's very kind of you but I would like to know If I will be granted my conditions to stay" I say cautiously, depending on his answer I will either stay here on find a way to politely decline his offer.

Its so bothersome to act politely in order to not get killed.

Thankfully I have no loved one for them to hold against me in case things turn ugly.

Aro had read my mind so he know what my conditions to stay are.

"Oh? You mean the freedom to travel when you wish and to be able to… exercise your gift" he says a smirk.

"That's right" I say confidently.

"You are granted to travel as long as you aren't on a mission and/or need to stay in the castle for a reason, just make sure to tell me before you leave" Aro said, accepting one of my conditions.

I nod, satisfied with his answer.

"As for your other reason, I will make sure to appoint you on many missions for you to use your gift freely on those who deserve it" He says with his signature creepy smile.

Those who deserve it, don't make me laugh but I don't care I got just what I wanted.

I nod once again

"Marvelous! We all agree!" Are says happily "Now Jane if you could guide Seraphina to her room in the Elite hallway"

Elite hallway? I like the sound of that

Jane comes to my side and mutters a simple "Follow me"

I turn to give Alec a last glance before following Jane but not before hearing Aro's gleeful voice.

"Welcome to the Volturi!"

As I follow Jane I take a look around the castle and see many paintings, including one of the leaders in golden suits probably in the 1700's.

Pftt they look ridiculous!

I'm snapped from my thoughts when I hear Jane's impatient voice "What are you waiting for?"

"Geez I'm going" I say with a grunt

Geez now I can see Alec's and Jane similarities with their usual black expression though Jane seemed more sinister whenever she was torturing humans.

That must have been the moment I decided I was going to get along with her.

We then continue walking in silence though Jane sometimes glances at me and I can tell she wants to ask me something but doesn't want to speak first.

So I begin.

"The Volturi are impressive I didn't expect the large number of vampires" I say referring to the large number of vampires I saw at the feeding area

"Of course Master Aro has been recruiting the best vampires for his guard for many centuries so it is to be expected" Jane says with her poker face but I can hear admiration in her voice

She sure is loyal to Aro, Chelsea's power is not to be underestimated.

Unfortunately for them I'm not to be underestimated either.

"So is your power through touch or is it mental?" Jane asks me.

So that what she was wondering.

"My gift is mental but I like to use my hands for demonstration purposes" I explain.

"For example…" I continue.

Phoenix appears and flies around in front of us and breathes out fire.

"Fire in shape of a bird… Impressive" Jane mutters impressed.

I extend my finger and the bird perches herself in my finger.

"Good job Phoenix" I say, caressing Phoenix little head and she rubs her head to my fingers.

Jane stares surprised.

"Is it alive?" she asks me.

"I like to think so" I say with a smile.

Phoenix is one of the few people (animal(?)) who I'm nice to and actually care about.

"Well why don't you give Jane a goodbye show?" I tell Phoenix and as soon as I said that Phoenix flies around us and then flies up and extends her wings and she disappears only small sparks remaining.

"That was amazing…" Jane says

"She likes to put up a show" I say happily, I have always liked it more when they praise Phoenix instead of me, she's the one that decides what to do so its only right she gets her credit.

"She's very… majestic" Jane says with a smile.

"I'll be sure to tell her" I say with a wink.

We both share a laugh before Jane realizes what she did and quickly composes herself.

"Hmph, you're room is this way" Jane says but I could see a ghost of a smile in her lips

She looks cute when she smiles, though I can see that might destroy her image.

I follow her and she opens the door to a room, we both enter the room and I look around.

The bedroom is large and very beautiful the bed is big as well and looks very comfy, too bad I can't sleep, the whole room is cream and Ivory color, furniture and all, it looks very vintage and beautiful.

White isn't my favorite color but the room is too beautiful for me to hate it.

"Is it to your liking?" Jane asks me, after giving me a few seconds to appreciate the room.

"Yes, thank you" I smile, It's been awhile since I've had my own room I usually travel all around the world so I don't bother on renting or buying a house.

"We have taken the liberty on filling your wardrobe with some clothes, if any of them aren't your size, be sure to tell me to fetch someone" Jane tells me, in her usual black expression.

Clothes? Did a vampire use vampire speed (me and Jane walked since I don't know my way around) and put clothes here after I was accepted or were they already here?

Well it doesn't matter.

"Okay thank you" I tell Jane.

Jane nods and is about to leave when we hear a knock.

We both look at the door and Jane opens it as she is closer and I already knew who it was before she even opened the door.

Alec walks in, spreading his intoxicating scent even more as he has a black cloak in his hands.

"I brought your cloak" he says motioning to the black cloak in his hands

Ugh I hope I don't have to wear it everyday, I like black but I do like having some variety and cloaks aren't really my style.

Oh well, I'll find a way to avoid using it.

A bit grudgily, I reach to grab my robe when suddenly Alec disappears from my sight, making me widen my ruby eyes and before I could wonder where he went, I heard his husky voice in my ear.

"Allow me to put it on you"

If I was a human, I have no doubt I would be as red as a tomato

I had been wondering how his voice would sound like but it is far better than I had expected, he has a somewhat deep and sexy voice and he's behind me putting his cold hands in my neck.

His cold fingers touched my porcelain skin and I could feel electricity in my veins and some unknown addicting warmth inside of me.

He grabs my hair and puts it aside slowly and delicately.

I feel like a delicate and precious treasure in his hands.

I have always wanted to be strong and powerful, and being seen as delicate had always angered me before but when he treats me so preciously I can't help but fall in love with him.

Thanks to my nerves of steel, I didn't fidget and stood still as his cold fingers put the cloak in my neck and I felt he was being awfully slow as to savor the moment.

I was savoring it as well but wished I could kiss him and have all of him.

I saw Jane look at Alec with a confused expression, Alec must not do this often if even his sister is baffled by his action, that makes me happy and relieved.

But I snap myself out before I can daydream more.

I'm a monster, I can't have romance in my life or even dream about it, it's impossible for me to have a mate.

Isn't it?

But the more Alec touches me the more my resolve to stay mateless lessens.

I was about to lose all my resolve when Alec finally finished putting my cloak on.

He goes to stand next to his sister and only gazes at me, longing, love and lust clear in his crimson eyes.

I too only stare at him, my senses telling me to stop it but find it impossible as his crimson eyes hypnotizes me.

Alec gaze lingers on me until Jane taps him in the shoulder and he snaps out from his gaze and says "Tell me if you ever need anything, my room is in front of yours"

"And mine is besides my brother's" Jane adds.

After that they both leave my sight using their vampire speed.

I walk to the door and close it, I tap my head to the door and let out unneeded breath

That was so nerve wrecking…

Ugh! What is wrong with me?! I have fought pirates, outrun shape shifters, burned down an entire village, killed entire covens, and killed werewolves, how can some simple touches make me so nervous?!

Tch, this all happened after I met Alec, it's all his fault

I became….weak…

I need to keep my distance from him, he's changing me and I don't like it.

Whatever, I should check my wardrobe

I open my wardrobe and find many clothes inside.

Figures if my room is large, my wardrobe would be as well

I notice all the clothes are black or are dark colors.

I take a few pieces and notice they are all from different time eras.

Modern era, 1770's, middle ages and our current time roaring 20's.

Though there are of many eras most of it is of our current era.

I grab my suitcase and with my vampire speed I put it all in the wardrobe.

Glad I brought my clothes with me, to use things that I know are my style.

Hmm I wonder if they got my size right.

I grab one of the outfits and try it on.

Fits like a globe.

I look at myself in the mirror and see they got my size right.

Pretty impressive, I admit.

I grab my original outfit and put in on.

I look around and wonder what to do.

Guess it won't hurt to look around the Volturi castle, thanks to that human pest I wasn't able to look as much as I'd like and Jane was to fun to talk to so I didn't pay much attention.

I go out of my room and began to walk aimlessly, saw a few guards and they either evaded my gaze or nodded to me in respect

Ha! Can't believe vampires fear me or respect me for simply burning a human village by myself and killing some annoying covens and a few children of the moon, or werewolves however you wanna call them.

After walking around for who knows how long, I see a pair of big door and curiosity beats me and I open the doors.

I look around and see I'm in a very large library.

Much larger than any human library I've gone to.

I'm amazed at the size of the library and the quantity of books.

"Hmm quite the collection they have here" I say to myself.

I touch the books as I look at the titles.

I walk a few aisles before I notice a familiar presence in front of me.

"Alec…" I say, and I can see my voice calling his name has effect on him as he relaxes his stiff posture and looks at me longingly.

Great just the person I've been trying to avoid, appears before me.

The worst part is that for some unknown reason I feel happy to see him again.

"Seraphina" he breathes out my name and I'm loving the way he says my name, almost making me break into a smile.

Almost.

"What are you doing here? This area is restricted" Alec says blankly.

Oh really this how you wanna play? Let's play.

"Oh really?" I say fluttering my eyes, acting innocently "I sure didn't see a restricting sign at the door"

Alec raises his brow but doesn't say anything

Not gonna reply? That's your first mistake

"And if it is, who is it restricted to? Volturi members? I've been a Volturi member since" I say and look over to Alec's side where a clock stands "15 minutes now"

Alec crosses his hands and reveals a handsome smirk.

Trying to weaken me by being charming? Well it's not working.

Completely…

"Or what? An elite Volturi member? According to where my room is, I can infer that I'm an elite too" I smirk.

His smirk widens but he decides to change the subject, smart move on his part.

"Do you seek a book in particular?" He asks.

"Not exactly, I'm looking for anything that sparks my interest" I tell him.

"I could be of assistance, I have read every single book in this library" Alec tells me with a captivating smile.

I arch my eyebrow, "Really, the whole library?" I say looking at the enormous library

"I have been undead for a long time and there isn't much to do here" He explains.

He's Alec from the witch twins so he has to been undead for centuries.

Just like me.

"True, after roaming the world for centuries, you just do about everything, though the humans just love to invent things to better their pathetic lives" I say, sharing my thoughts.

"I agree, though I'm glad they invented classical music, I'm rather fond of it" Alec says.

Classical music? Why am I not surprised, he is an old vampire…though so am i.

"I prefer jazz, it's upbeat and fun" I say, expressing my opinion

He let's out a deep chuckle, I feel my inside's melt from his laugh, ha! my frozen insides.

I rather like his laugh so I don't care even if he's laughing at me.

"You are so….fascinating" Alec says getting closer to me, enough to make me step back until my back hits the wall "Normally an ancient vampire would hate loud and modern music like that." (A/N: They're in the 1920's so jazz was modern at the time)

He is so close to me, his eyes look predatory and I can tell from his posture he is itching to have me.

Probably just as much as I want him, but my sly personality makes me want to tease him.

"Are you calling me old?" I ask him with a smirk

"Not at all, il mio amore" he says and touches my cheek gently with his cold hand, and puts his other hand at my besides my head, trapping me to the wall.

His intoxicating scent enveloping me as he gets closer.

I felt like melting after he called me 'my love' in italian.

I knew learning Italian was gonna be useful one day.

"You should know I could never even think of insulting you" his thumb begins stroking my cheek "Not when I finally found you, and mean so much to me"

He looks at me with so much care, longing and love in his eyes as his thumb goes lower and grips my chin and gets closer to me.

His lips are an inch from mine when I put my finger to his lips to stop him.

"Sorry, I don't kiss on the first date" I smirk "If this even counts as our first date"

His eyes gleam in lust and irritation while mine contain mischief and hidden lust.

"You are my mate" He says anger in his tone and sadness in his eyes "My soulmate, the one I have been looking for centuries"

"Y-you cannot reject me, not when I love and want you so much" He says, looking very hurt by my action and his hand by my side forms a fist, but he still doesn't add force to the hand holding my chin.

Even when he thinks I'm rejecting him, he still treats me gently.

"I'm not rejecting you" I tell him softly "I simply want to get to know you and see if this is real love and not some physical attraction"

I may be cruel and sly but I'm still a romantic at heart.

His eyes soften after I give him my reasoning and gives a relieved smile and he touches his forehead against mine as we both close our eyes.

This was really understanding and sweet of him, I think he deserves a kiss.

I open my eyes and see that his are already opened, and see him giving me a gentle smile with love and care clear in his eyes.

With more resolve I grip his shoulder and give him a flaming kiss on the cheek.

And by flaming I mean I actually put some fire in my lips.

His eyes close from the pain of the burn but he doesn't recoil or back off.

With that intensity I'm surprised he didn't recoil.

I'm impressed.

He looks at me with irritation and I simply giggle.

Love hurts doesn't it?

I may be a romantic but i'm still sly, they go hand in hand in my personality.

I touch his hurt cheek and say with a happy smile "And if you ask nice enough, I might say yes to a real first date"

At that I duck his arms and run away using vampire speed and head straight to my room.

Once I enter my bedroom, I close the door and erupt in a fit of laughter.

"Wow that was so… amazing" I say to myself.

I too have been looking for my mate for centuries, but at the same time I felt that a mate might weigh me down so I let that dream go but on the inside I truly hoped I would one day find him.

After all I turned down all romantic advances from other vampires and of course stupid humans just so one day I could give all of myself to my soulmate.

Why give false hope to other vampires when I know I could never love them (I'm not even including humans because I hate all of them)

I'm cruel and devious but I still have my limits specially when it comes to love.

I sit in my bed, touch my ruby lips and close my eyes to daydream what could of happened if I had given in to Alec's kiss.

Hey everyone! Sorry for taking forever to update, I started school a few weeks ago and I'm still having problems adjusting so it took awhile to write this but it's finally here!

Hahaha did you hope for them to kiss? Don't worry that will happen soon
