Author's Note: soo I'm going off canon for this story. Because canon Twilight sucks (I know you know it, don't deny it). And I wanted the Volturi to finally have the spotlight. So here we go, I guess. I will try to keep everyone in character based on the books most of the time, but since I don't really enjoy Stephanie Meyer's take on most of them, I'll be spicing the characters up a bit to make them more enjoyable. Such as less cringey dialogue and more impactful character storylines/arcs. This fanfic will also include some coarse language and violent scenes (as well as some romantic scenes but nothing nasty because ya girl doesn't do that). I will be writing an author's note on said chapters at the start of each scene so you know when to skip those parts. Also, as you may have noticed, there will be different spoken languages in this fanfiction. Mainly Ancient Greek and Italian, but there also might be some others as well (haven't decided which ones yet because I like to wing it when it comes to writing). When those times occur, I will be putting the dialogue in italics, and there will be translations at the end of the chapter for you to read. Please let me know if I have written anything incorrectly because I want to be as accurate as possible when it comes to writing languages. Thank you for reading!
Prologue
My heartbeat thrummed wildly in my chest as I raced down the streets, pushing my wet hair off my face. The two men were still chasing me, their footsteps frantic.
I needed to get out of here.
"Signorina! fermati, per favore!" the younger one shouted, but I ignored him.
I couldn't let them find me.
Not again.
"Lasciami in pace!" I yelled, my voice hoarse from crying as I ran faster, the lights of the main square up ahead.
Just four steps.
Four more steps and I would be free.
Three…
Two…
Then a freezing cold hand clamped onto my shoulder and I screamed.
"Lasciami andare!" I bucked in the steel-like grasp of whoever held me, biting down on their arm and breaking their hand. The vampire shouted in pain and released me, but not before his partner took his place, holding me tight against his chest.
"lasciami andare, tu stronzo,"I hissed, opening my mouth to bite him, but faster than I could blink he had me pinned on the ground, his hand over my lips.
"ti prego, per tutto ciò che è bello, chiuso. Su," he said,his dark hair plastered against his face, and I grimaced and spat in his palm.
"Piacevole. È affascinante, davvero," he rolled his eyes, looking at me like I was a child.
"ti avviti," I said, my voice muffled by his hand, and he cocked an eyebrow.
"purtroppo non sono disponibile, ma apprezzo il pensiero," he said, smirking, and I glared.
"possiamo farlo nel modo più semplice o nel modo più difficile.o vieni con noi volentieri, o ti prendiamo con la scegli?" The vampire asked, and I narrowed my eyes.
"Preferirei morire piuttosto che essere catturato con persone come te," I hissed, and the man smiled thinly.
"un vero peccato. avresti fatto un compagno di viaggio adorabile," he whispered, and I fell into darkness.
Translations (in order of appearance):
"Miss, stop, please!"
"Leave me alone!"
"Let me go!"
"Let me go, you asshole"
"would you please, for all that is lovely, shut. up. "
"Lovely. That's charming, really."
"Screw you"
"Unfortunately I am not available, but I appreciate the thought."
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way. come with us willingly, or we take you by force. what do you choose?"
"I'd rather die than be caught with people like you"
"Such a shame. you would have made a lovely traveling companion."
