Within a month of arriving, Allison and Eleanor were used to life with the Volturi, their abilities became useful for the guards; Eleanor would get them to do things against their will while Allison would possess them – which almost always freaked everyone out from how she did it. Her eyes would roll back in her skull, making her whole eye socket turn white; giving the appearance she was possessed by some evil spirit.

Eleanor's relationship with Alec was starting to progress, too. The pair weren't quite a couple yet, they'd gone on a few dates together and kissed a few times but they both felt they weren't ready to launch themselves into a full on relationship.

But even with the blossoming relationship with Alec, Eleanor's relationship with Allison became more and more strained, causing friction between them. Allison was admittedly jealous that Eleanor had someone who liked her for who she was and Allison was growing tired of only having herself to love, craving for love from a person other than herself. So as payback, Allison would sneak out and to go nightclubs around Italy to distract herself from everything.

During one of the many arguments the pair had, they had to stop before they felt like they'd choked on their tears. Allison sitting down on the floor with her legs tucked into her chest while Eleanor stood at the other end of the room, facing Allison.

"I didn't want this, Ellie. I want to go to McDonalds and actually enjoy the shit food they sell, have the feeling of being physically exhausted after doing god knows how many handsprings, and actually sleep at night. I want to go back to being human; I don't want this as my life. You didn't give me a choice."

"I wasn't given a choice, either."

"Well, I'm glad we have that in common." The pair fell silent after that; the only sounds were from their runny noses from crying so much. "Charlie and Becky are dead, Ellie. And I want them back and I want us back to how we used to be. Happy, normal teenagers who laughed at the supposed serial killer Charlie was dating and you being happily in love with Alex Novoa, ready to take it to the next level. Now all we talk about is how many people we've killed in order for us to stay alive – if you call this alive."

"So what are you saying?"

"I'm saying... I'm going to ask Aro to kill me. I can't do this anymore."

"Allie, I can't do this without you. You're my best friend."

"And look where that best friend status has gotten us. We basically let that Jacob bitch murder our friends and we did nothing to help; this isn't who I want to be. I don't know about you but, I'd rather be dead than be this monster."

Before Eleanor could say another word, Allison stormed out of her room and walked upstairs towards the throne room to talk to Aro but she wasn't allowed to go near the room before she was pushed away by one of the other guards. "Dude, what the fuck? Let me speak to Aro, it's urgent."

The guard pushed Allison away, almost sending her back down the flight of stairs. "Important meeting, Callanan. Come back later."

Allison gave him the finger before she made her way back downstairs and towards her bedroom once more. "Assholes won't let me in to see Aro."

"What's going on?" Eleanor asked, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand.

"Important meeting – I think it's bullshit if you ask me."

"Allie, I love you but I think you're forgetting something. You can possess people; you can get into that meeting."

Allison's eyes widened, first staring at the floor before staring at a wall as if she was in The Office.

"Allie, you do realize that we're not on TV? Stop acting like you're on TV, it's not funny anymore, it's just plain creepy."

Two updates in a month? Phew, I'm spoiling you guys. I do have a reason for doing so, though. I'm going to Italy for pretty much all of August and I don't know if a) I'll be able to bring my laptop and b) be able to write/update while I'm there so I'm giving you guys an extra update since I love you all sooooo much and I didn't want to leave you all hanging for a long period of time. I'm such a nice person (sarcasm here, I'm literally Satan).

Until next time;

Lorna.
