This chapter was the most difficult to write, not gonna lie. Amelia's response to what you are about to read may shock you, it may seem as if she does not care, but I promise you she will shock you. I hope you like her, and like what you read.
Now that little heads up is out of the way, I have more excitement. A new story is in the works, this one will still be updated, as I've said before this one is my stress reliever after work. Now, I hope I've given you something to look forward to, and so much more.
Upon reaching the morgue, that resided in the lowest level of the hospital; both girls began to tremble. Caius held Amelia, Edward had Bella, and Carlisle walked just behind them. The sliding glass doors, opening in front of them, a room with bright fluorescent lights, and a table with a sheet draped over a figure greeted them. Hesitation, was clear upon both girls as they entered the room.
A man in a white doctors coat waited for them, he gave a pity filled look to both girls, as they drew ever closer to the table. His dark skin, and hair stood out amongst the white, in a comforting kind of way. As he gently moved the sheet down, revealing their father on the slab. Resting the cloth at the chin, which Amelia thought was odd.
"Is there something wrong with his neck?" She asked calmly, making the three vampires also take note of the odd behavior.
The Doctor, who's name tag read Stevens looked at her calmly. "There was some damage, I did not think you wished to gaze upon it."
"We want to see." Bella spoke up, after picking up on what Amelia was asking. The man looked to Carlisle, who held a curious look on his face. Slowly, lowering the sheet further, revealing a familiar bite pattern within their father's neck.
Caius's eyes shot open, before they narrowed darkly. This was not only against the law, but also his mates father that was killed like this. Tightening his arm around Amelia's waist for a firmer hold, trying to let her know they would get the one responsible.
"Can you give us a few moments?" Carlisle asked, his fellow doctor. Stevens nodded his head calmly, and walked out.
Amelia was frozen, for a moment before turning to Edward. "Can you tell, if-"
"He smells of Victoria." He cut her off, already knowing the question.
Bella started sobbing again, while Amelia felt an overcoming sense of rage enter her. Tears pricked her eyes, before she turned to look at her blonde mate. "I want to see her burn." She said calmly, shocking the three males in the room, this was not the girl they knew. This was the future Queen, her role already taking effect even as a human.
"We will make sure of it." Caius finally spoke, pride filling his loins as he gazed at the future of Volterra. "If you wish to watch her burn, she will kneel in front of you as she does."
Amelia stared deeply into her blonde mates eyes, noting how his contacts were beginning to sizzle away. His red color bleeding through, and she nodded. "I do."
"It will be done." He replied, kissing her head, pulling her body close to him as Dr. Stevens returned. Carlisle silent as he had no words for what he had just witnessed, Edward stared at Amelia as did Bella; no one moved.
"I have some paperwork, for you to fill out." Stevens stated, as he walked up. Amelia turning to take the packet, carefully reading everything as she was taught at a young age. Her mind reeling, as she finally signed to have her father released once everything was prepared. Only barely registering when they had walked out, her blood boiling, Victoria was a dead vampire, she only wished she could deliver the killing blow.
However, since she couldn't, she was glad her mates would help her. She was especially grateful that Jane, was with her. "Caius, when we find her..I wish for Jane to inflict her maximum."
A smirk forming on his lips, as he gazed at his human mate. "Very well, my Queen." His trousers feeling a little tighter, as to his slight embarrassment, his mates anger and control was causing quite a bit of arousal. Well aware that the two Cullens in the car glanced at him, but there was no shame.
Bella on the other hand, stared at her sister. Slightly afraid of her, as she had never seen this side. Hoping that once Victoria was caught, and killed her sister would return. She understood the power that radiated off of her, only a little. Her fear radiated from, once her sister was officially the Queen, would she forget about her. The Volturi was taking over her life, the Cullens had already held her more than Bella had ever hoped, and she didn't know where she stood. Their father now gone, because of this new world they had entered, now her sister seemed to change; for better or worse she did not know.
Edward looked to the girl who had terrified him, threatened him, and yet became his baby sister in a new light. She had never been a timid girl, and now he saw it. Amelia had been born to be a Queen, no many said that about most women, but with how she carried herself, without fear. During the few times she had been afraid, it had not been for herself; but for her sister and his family. Not even when she had laid on the ground, venom coursing through her veins, did she fear for her own life. All of this, and how she held herself in this very moment concluded everything to him, and from Carlisle's thoughts he had reached the same conclusion. She wasn't just born to be a Queen, she was born to be their Queen.
Upon pulling up to the house, both girls leaned into their mates. Bella because she felt as if she could fall at any time, and Amelia because without it, she was going to run in and start ordering Demetri to find Victoria. Entering the Cullen residence, she walked straight towards Aro. Her hand touching his cheek, as she gazed into his eyes.
"I want to see Victoria begging, while she burns." Her thoughts shocking the Volturi leader, and her mate deeply. He going deeper into her thoughts and memories, before he nodded.
"Yes." He breathed in agreement, his entire form in awe at the woman in front of him. Much like his brother, during the car ride, his trousers became quite uncomfortable. Looking over, he could tell that Marcus felt the same way.
Amelia turned to Demetri and Felix calmly, her eyes held anger; but refused to direct it upon them. "Find Victoria, it is time for her to be eliminated."
"Yes, My Queen." Demetri said for both, a look of awe entering his gaze for just a moment. His respect along with the rest of the guard in the room, grew immensely.
Nodding, she turned to Jane. "Go feed, I do not wish for you to be taxed too much." Her voice calm, as the small blonde looked into her green embers and smiled.
"Thank you, My Queen." She left soon after, along with Demetri and Felix behind her.
Emmett mouth a fallen open in amazement. "Sis, you really have become regal…I so dig it."
"Thank you, dear brother." She replied, the pain in her eyes beginning to show. They all knowing that reality was going to hit her eventually, but her mates were around her. "Alec, go and feed as well."
The remaining guard member, bowed his head calmly. "I did so this morning, My Queen."
"Alice, may I talk with you for a moment." She said calmly, the two soon disappearing upstairs.
The Cullen girl, wrapping her arms around her softly. "I am so sorry this has happened to you, we all feel so response-"
"Alice, you and our family is not to be blamed." She said, the dark haired pixi's eyes widened in surprise.
"Our?" She asked.
Amelia smiled softly. "You are my sister, we are a family regardless of blood, or venom in your case."
Arms were thrown around her again, as venom tears that she thought was impossible began to fall from the vampire. "I love you, sis."
"I love you to." Amelia replied, before moving to pull away; Alice letting her go. "Now, when Victoria is here. I want her to see me as I am, and realize her mistake once it is too late."
Alice eyes her, already knowing. "It is time for the royal makeover, huh?"
"Yes."
"I know exactly what to do, do you trust me?" Alice questioned.
Amelia smiled. "With my life."
"Though I will let your mates, and Rosalie in. She will help with your hair, and they should watch." Alice replied calmly.
Amelia nodded. "I agree." Without another word, the four who were mentioned walked in.
Alice danced over to Aro, showing him what she would look like once she was done. Caius walking over to his mate once again, while she looked at Rose.
"What time is my mother being picked up?" She asked calmly.
"Nine, tonight." Rose replied, smiling at her friend and sister. "You made Carlisle and Esme quite happy when you said the word 'our.'"
"I am glad." Amelia replied, turning to her mate as he knelt down before her. "My love." She whispered, as his head made contact with her stomach as he held her. Fingers instantly began running through his hair.
"You are perfect." Caius breathed, she smiled softly at him. Bending down slowly, her lips touched his head calmly.
"So are you." She whispered, waiting for him to look up. When he did to reply to her, Amelia's lips touched his. "You won't change my mind." Her green eyes not leaving his red ones.
"I really do not wish to interrupt." Alice said. "But, your guard will be bringing Victoria at 8 pm. We need to get you ready."
Amelia looked up and nodded, her mate scowling at letting her go. "Rose, can you bring the chair here?"
Her sister and friend nodded, quickly bringing one up, watching as Amelia sat, Caius adjusting so his head rested upon her lap. Rosalie's hand gently moved to run her fingers through the red girls. While the scissors were handed to her, a little nerve racking as the two kings who were standing; watched her every move.
0.o.0
Amelia Swan emerged from the bedroom, at four thirty that afternoon. Marcus guiding her down the stairs, where her vampire family waited along with her sister. To say, jaws dropped was an understatement. Her long red curls, now fell just below her shoulders, having been straightened to frame her face a bit better. Her skin had a soft dusting of powder, enhancing her skin rather than masking it. Her eyes lined with black liner, the honey gold circle that lined her pupil amongst the green stood out from the dark. While her lips were a nude earthy color, as red really didn't go with her hair. Her clothing consisting of a knee length, body hugging, green lace dress. Black pumps, with nude stockings almost completed the look. However it was Aro's necklace that stood out, his sent wrapping around her, due to the years he wore it.
"Victoria is screwed." Emmett said, after he whistled.
Jasper smirked as well. "This shall be interesting, her response will be quite amusing."
"Sis?" Bella asked.
"Yes, Bella?" Amelia asked, walking to stand before her.
"She picked the wrong family to mess with." Bella replied, her eyes puffy from the amount of crying she had done.
Amelia placed a hand on her sister's shoulders. "You will see her burned, before the end of tonight, tonight she will meet the judge, jury, and her executioner." She promised, the two sisters embracing briefly. "All we must do now is wait."
What do you think of Amelia? Her becoming is only beginning, as she evolves more and more from the goofy, sweet girl. Turning into the Queen before everyone's eyes. Now that may seem strange, but this is her response to Victoria killing her father. She wants justice, and she will have it. Now, will she break under pressure, or what do you think will happen during the trial.
