A young looking man around Phoibe and Gianna's age came through the door wearing a grey uniform. Phoibe immediately felt faint the noise they all seemed to dull when he entered the room. In a flash he was in front of her , down on one knee clutching Phoibe's hand " Now who might you be? Demetri Volturi at your acquaintance" he spoke softly. Phoibe was in awe at the voice at everything about him really. " I'm Phoibe , Phoibe swan , pleasure to meet you Demetri" Phoibe shakily replied . She didnt miss the heads of the others turn to stare at her. Pulling her hand back by her side Phoibe turned to speak to Gianna but felt her body be pulled back against something hard and cold . " Just where do you think you are walking away to , you are mine , my one and only, my princess stay by my side and you'll never feel hurt, you'll never feel pain . I will give you all you want . It just takes four simple words say it say you'll stay here" Demetri leaded his head in the crook of Phoibe's neck placing light kisses upon her collar bone. Phoibe never felt so scared but so safe at the same time. " Demetri, kindly let my best friend go so we can continue with our plans to celebrate her birthday" Gianna requested with an edge to her voice. Gianna reached her hand towards Phoibe and proceeded to pull her towards the exit. Phoibe took one look back to see Demetri watching her " I will see you soon my princess you can be sure of it "was the last words Phoibe heard before the outside air hit her face. Phoibe had so many questions just one reoccurring one.
what the hell just happened ?
Leaving hand in hand with Gianna ,Phoibe couldn't help but keep glancing back behind her wondering just who he overly affectionate man was and why? Why did those three people turn their heads and look at her like she had three heads and six arms at the mention of her name? Tonight she would ask Gianna all her questions but for now she would allow her best friend to celebrate her birthday as planned . As time got on Phoibe had a pain in her chest that kept making itself known for an unbeknownst reason to her .
Both girls sat at their table in the restaurant when Gianna spoke. "So Phoibs did you get to see the Marcus day festival or was it more of shop til you drop situation" Gianna chuckled musically. " I did it was splendid , shame its only once a year but thats what makes it more special I guess" Phoibe replied with a shrug. glancing at her menu, Phoibe settled for ordering a spaghetti carbonara with a lemonade whilst Gianna ordered a vegetarian lasagne with a glass of white wine . Phoibe subconsciously kept clutching at her chest every time the pain made its way to the surface ,being a trained nurse Phoibe knew this was not a heart attack or a sign of a stroke , so putting it off her mind the best she could to enjoy her meal with her friend. little did both women know that just outside the restaurant from outside the window, across the street in a dark lane to dark figures were watching. meanwhile back inside the restaurant Gianna and Phoibe were coming to the end of their meal and had ordered dessert. " so lets discuss our options for tonight and for the weekend , I say with your parents away we have a proper girls weekend you spas , makeovers , shopping the whole whack but tonight how about dancing at a club and back to mine "Gianna suggested glancing hopefully at her friend before frowning slightly. "Actually G I'm not feeling to great could we watch a movie or something at yours and go dancing another night , if you want to go I dont mind my parents didnt go in the end . They'd understand " Phoibe mumbled feeling guilty but there was no way she could dance and have a good time if she could barely enjoy herself now. Gianna brushed her hand in mid air as if dismissing Phoibe's statement. "of course I dont mind are you sure your alright Phoib I thought you seemed a bit off come on lets go get into something more comfy"exclaimed Gianna . Both women paid the bill and left unaware of what was to come .
Upon arriving at Gianna's own apartment the two friends got settled in Gianna's bed with their sleep wear on . hoibe was putting the DVD on when Gianna came back into the room holding two glasses of water and some painkillers for her friend. both girls had decided on 27 dresses. Jumping under the blanket Phoibe couldn't help but apologise to Gianna for in her words ruining the night but Gianna assured her that it wasn't ruined and the Phoibe just owed her a night dancing when she was up to it. Before hoibe could get around to asking her questions she drifted off into a peaceful sleep where the f]handsome face of Demetri plagued her dreams. When Phoibe woke in the morning she found a note on Gianna's pillow.
Phoibe,
I'm so sorry ive been called into work on an emergency and theres no idea yet when I get off but ill do my best to make it as soon as possible. I promise I will make it up to you
Gianna
With a sigh Phoibe decided she would go home to her parents and see if they wanted to get breakfast and do something until Gianna could return. Phoibe quickly sent a text to Gianna to tell her what she was up to. Phoibe got dressed and made Gianna's bed before leaving to go home. After all manners cost nothing . hoibe arrived at her front door with her keys to find it was already unlocked, humming to herself hoibe opened the door and dumped her bag by the front door closing it behind her. Turning into the kitchen nobody was there. " Mom Dad are you home?" she shouted. Phoibe ran towards the stairs only to slip on something wet , raising her wet hand to her face Phoibe scrambled the her feet . Blood . Phoibe looked around the room and for the first time she notice the complete war zone. Flower vases knocked over , coffee table in pieces and family photos all with the family members heads torn off all besides Phoibe's that is. It was then she saw it the bodies of her mother and father. Phoibe rushed to their sides panicking and distraught on what to do . Her medical training kicking in she checked pulses. her mothers was gone but her fathers was faint. In an attempt to do all she could to save her dad she applied pressure to his very much open wound on his neck and attempted cpr . Phoibe tried and tried but to no avail his pulse slowly stopped . hoibe started to scream in agony , her parents were dead . it was like a scene from a horror movie both parents had their throats ripped out . Hearing screams passers by entered through the door and called the police and an ambulance service. Phoibe went upstairs to wash the blood off her hands, she couldn't bear the sight of her parents like that. hoibe looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but wonder if she had been there last night would they be alive now or would she be dead also. Phoibe went into her room to grab a sheet to cover her parents with . stopping when there was a note on her bed with a disc. without reading the note Phoibe stuck the DVD into her laptop and pressed paly , soon wishing she hadn't as there on the disc was the entire murder of her parents. She had never seen their faces before but red eyes. Gianna's co workers had red eyes. unable to watch the act be committed , hoibe opened the note it read :
youngest Phoibe
we have yet to meet in person , but this is for the best your parents refused for us to take you and the volturi cannot have you added to their clan . this whole situation could have been avoided if your little volturi pet Gianna hadn't invited you into their precious castle. You see sweet angel , theres many things Gianna has not told you starting with the volturi.
we will see you in the future
