Well I didn't intend to update for at least another week, but I figured I wouldn't leave you hanging too long on Nasia's changing and Bella's hoping.
Now this chapter pretty much picks up on Nasia turning into a vampire, and getting a little education on her 'life' now with the Volturi. Get a little idea on what the Volturi have planned for her, but is she going to escape in this chapter or will she wait until the right moment? Are the Cullens going to find her? Or are they going to get a real shocker their way?
Written by myself and my sister author AnnaBoleyna1536, and we don't own Twilight.
Enjoy!
Three days later:
The pain was burning, intense like an entire blast of fire erupted inside Nasia's body. It lessened little by little, but it burned each time until suddenly, it didn't anymore. Nasia's entire body felt strange, almost like it was new. She didn't hurt anymore, in fact she felt no pain at all, not even the headache she'd had earlier. How long she'd been in pain she didn't know, but when she sat up she moved over to the other side of the room and pounded the door, only to knock it into the opposite wall.
'What the hell…?' she looked at her hand, she had just knocked on it and it flew off the hinges. She also noticed how much whiter her skin was, and how much brighter everything looked to her.
"Nice job." she about jumped when she spotted the little runt from earlier. "It'll be like that for a while, but you'll learn to control it."
"Control what, one of you bit me and I'm a vampire…someone had better tell me what's going on or I will flatten every inch of this place." she seethed, only to bring out a burn in her throat…an extreme thirst. "Ugh!" she clutched her throat.
"That'll be hard unless you feed, come." she took off, and Nasia followed. Feed, that meant blood, but Nasia didn't want to kill a live human it was immoral. She found herself in a dungeon like room, and up against the wall was a man in chains. He stunk of booze and sweat, and he spat at her.
"Bitch…yer one' of them." she could hear his heart racing.
"You can have him as your first, he's a known drunk and abusive man around these parts." Jane spoke from a corner of the room. "Someone no one will miss."
"No…" she tried to fight the thirst, but it got stronger.
"You have to, either feed or the burn will get worse. There are others, but they're all criminals we found in the city." Criminals, how did they go from innocent tourists to criminals? "Here, this will help." Jane took out a knife and slit the man's throat, and his blood spurted out.
"RAAHH!" Nasia roared and sunk her own teeth into the wound, sucking every ounce of blood from the dying man. Once she finished his body fell with a thud, and Jane brought in another human man, slitting his throat too and Nasia went for it. The smell of blood was overwhelming, so strong and tempting she couldn't control it. It felt good going down her throat, and the taste…she couldn't describe it.
After feeding on four more humans, the burn in Nasia's throat dissipated into a manageable one. Jane smirked at her in the corner, but Nasia just glared.
"Criminals…what criminals?" she pointed at the corpses.
"Abusive drunk, criminal fraud, rapist, embezzlement, and the other two were partners in a drug job, nasty ones. Master Caius thought you'd like it better if you ate from…guilty humans instead of innocents."
"Caius…he's the one who bit me?" Jane nodded. "I'll kill him!"
"You can't." Jane stared at her for a long period of time, but frowned later. "It's…"
"Jane dear, that's enough." turning towards the door Nasia spotted the dark haired man from before, the one with a creepy smile. "Anastasia dear, how was your meal?"
"How do you think?" she snarled at him. "Why did you let me turn?" the guy laughed.
"Forgive me, I haven't introduced myself. I am Aro, one of the leaders of this coven, and the man who bit you was my brother Caius, another leader and of course Marcus who helped us realize you aren't your sister. We are leaders of the Volturi, and we have not only my brothers and I but also many guards who are like family to us in some levels."
"Really?"
"Mostly." he smiled again. "Now for why you've been turned, you will get your answers from Caius as soon as he is done dealing with his…wife." his mouth twitched at that last word.
"So you just turned me, to make me into one of your guards?"
"In a way, but you won't be just a guard my dear." he motioned for her to follow him. "Come now, the others are waiting to meet you." Nasia wanted to punch the bastard for this, but she followed anyway. Her speed was faster, almost like she barely even walked. She was strong, and faster, what else could she do as a vampire now?
"Yes…" they entered the throne room again, and she saw many other black cloaks everywhere. Some looked familiar, but others didn't. "You've turned."
"Ya think?" she growled at a very tall vampire, bulky with dark brown hair. "What is this?"
"Welcome our newest member everyone, Anastasia." Aro proclaimed to the whole room, and others stared at Nasia.
"I am not your member, I didn't ask for this." these people were pissing her off big time, her anger threatened to erupt from her like a bomb.
"You have no choice young one." the blonde man, Caius, came down from his throne. "You belong to us now, but more importantly, you belong to me."
"You? Are you high?" he smirked evilly at her.
"You cannot leave this coven, Chelsea." a girl with long dark hair in a red hood came up and stared Nasia down. Nasia felt something wrapping around her, but it didn't touch her.
"What…the…hell are you doing?" she stared at Chelsea, who had confusion on her face but stared harder. "I can feel something, but what is it supposed to do?" all eyes widened.
"It won't work." a monotone voice, Marcus, spoke up. "Jane could not attack her, you could not read her mind Aro…"
'What's wrong with him?' his eyes were so sad, so dull and lifeless almost. She felt some pity for the guy, but brushed it off when eyes came back to her.
"And Chelsea cannot bind her." Caius growled. "No matter, she will stay regardless." he grabbed Nasia's arm and she roared.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" a flash erupted and almost every vampire around Nasia was flung back a few feet. She froze, was that her? She had a power?
"Remarkable…" Aro stood up from where he landed. "It's almost the same."
"ENOUGH WITH THE DAMN RIDDLES!" Nasia had enough. "Either you all start telling me what I want to know, or there's going to be hell to pay." she waited, and watched as they all stared at her. "My questions come first, and then I want answers got it?"
"What do you wish to know Anastasia?" Aro asked, just as if she hadn't thrown him back a few feet.
"For starters, how do you know my sister?"
"Ahh, yes Isabella. She came to us last year with her friends, Alice and Edward Cullen. Edward Cullen had thought her dead, and came here to die but she ended up alive after all. We were going to punish them all for breaking the law, no human can know of our existence, and if they do they must turn or die. Fear not, Alice told us Bella would become one of us and I could see in her mind it was the truth."
"So you let her go, where is she now?"
"The Cullen clan lives in multiple places, but from what I gathered in Edward Cullen's mind they are living in Forks and should follow along with Bella's change soon."
"Unless they break the agreement." Caius sneered.
"I assure you brother, they will not." Aro didn't take his eyes off Nasia. "Any other questions?"
"Other than super strength, speed, blood, and whatever the hell just happened a moment ago…what else can vampires do?" Aro laughed, it sent a chill down Nasia's spine.
"Well, we don't sleep in coffins, in fact we don't sleep at all. We don't burn in sunlight, but we can't be seen in sunlight because we sparkle and it's a risk of exposure."
"No sleep, and no burn in sun...human tales."
"All complete myths, ones created to get the humans away from us many centuries ago although some could be made up by them for suspicion."
"Okay…now you mentioned some laws, what laws are there in the vampire world?" Aro turned around to Caius who hadn't taken his eyes of Nasia since she walked in.
"Caius is going to give you all the information you need, because as of now…you are going to be his ward." Nasia's eyes widened.
"What?" she all but growled out.
"I turned you, and you are going to serve under me." Caius stood up. "Regardless of your life before, you are mine to have." this time Nasia got directly in front of the man's face and seethed through her teeth.
"I am no one's property!" she hit him hard and he fell to the ground, only for Nasia to be restrained by multiple guards at once. "GET OFF ME!" she screamed and the flash came back but only a few were knocked away. They had her by the arms and waist; even a few had her by the neck.
"Take her down to the dungeons; she will stay there until she learns to behave." Caius snarled and Nasia was yanked away.
"I AM NOT YOUR WARD! I'LL NEVER BE YOURS DO YOU HEAR ME?! NEVER!" they dragged her off down some stairs, and entered a cold corridor with large metal doors on each wall. They tossed her into one, and slammed the door fast behind her.
'Bastards…thinking they can keep me here. The first chance I get I'm leaving, but I need to plan.' If she was going to escape this place she'd have to formulate an escape. For starters, the room they put her in had no windows, but it was cold and damp and the door was made of some strange metal, heavy metal.
This place, these creatures, they turned her into one of them but they were keeping her. Vampires or no, Nasia wouldn't let them hold her captive she had enough with those phony parents of hers. They stole her from her dad and sister, and she had been waiting for the right moment to leave but to end up here with monsters…that wasn't the plan.
'I will see Belle again, and dad. If I have to fight my way out I will.' what she didn't understand was what happened back in the throne room. That flash, the force, it came out when she got angry and Nasia was always angry; it pushed them away, but the second time it wasn't as strong.
'Aro can read minds, so maybe I have a power too but how do I control it?' so many questions to ask, but the answers would be hard to get down here.
"I KNOW YOU BASTARDS CAN HEAR ME! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO TO ME, I AM NOT SOME OBJECT YOU CAN CLAIM AS YOURS, I AM NOT YOUR TOY! I NEVER WILL BE!" whether they'd heard her or not, she didn't care. Nasia just slammed her fists into the floor and it cracked underneath her.
'God look at me, mad as hell throwing a damn tantrum…' she had to calm down and think, she didn't know where the anger was coming from but right now it wouldn't help. 'I will be free, and I will find Belle…I just hope she's alright.'
Volturi throne room some minutes later:
After Anastasia was taken down to the dungeons the guards dispersed and went back to their usual posts or activities for the day. The leaders remained behind, along with the twins and Demetri whom Aro had asked to remain behind.
"This one is going to be difficult." Alec smirked. "She's not like Bella was."
"No, she's much more." Jane looked at Aro. "Master, Chelsea and my power didn't work. What she did, when she shouted…"
"Yes, and I couldn't read her thoughts." Aro put his hands to his lips, folding them together. "I also figure that the Cullens may come for her."
"They aren't going to." Caius sneered. "She is mine." Aro turned to him.
"Brother, you feel a connection to her?" stark white teeth hissed at him.
"I made her, she should be grateful."
"Well we don't know much about her Caius, perhaps we should learn." Demetri cleared his throat. "Yes Demetri?"
"There is something else off, when she entered the room as a mortal I could smell her. After she came back as a vampire…I smelled nothing." Aro motioned to take his hand, and after he touched it his eyes blanked out.
"Yes…odd indeed." he let go. "You could not pick up a scent…and it would appear she has more than Bella might."
"If we cannot control her, it may cause problems." Marcus stood. "Anastasia is not going to comply with us, we cannot force her to stay." he was the reasonable one.
"We can if we push the right button." Caius smirked. "A little push on Bella and the pathetic Cullens might help."
"Brother, I never knew you would go so far to make hollow threats." Aro was intrigued.
"It's only hollow, if she doesn't resist." both of them missed the look from Marcus, a disproving look at that. "If she continues, we bring Bella here and they will both listen somehow."
"Perhaps, but that's a thought for another time. For now, let her spend a few days in the dungeons to calm down and then we will discuss it more." Caius just smirked and left. "Now dear ones, Demetri would you and Felix be dears and go see what Gianna is up to, I believe we're expecting some packages today for Heidi and Renata." the two males left. "Jane, Alec…go take a break and I will summon you if needed."
"Yes master." they left without complaint, and then Aro turned to Marcus. He walked up and slipped something into his brother's hand, and Marcus hid it in his cloak.
"You know what to do, and don't worry about the guards." Marcus nodded, glancing at the watch on his wrist it was near nightfall. Once the sun sets, Aro's plan would go into action.
Some hours later, Nasia's dungeon:
She didn't know how long she had been down there, and she didn't think she had to worry. They brought her blood, and she drank it down so her thirst wasn't so painful at the moment. Sooner or later they would let her out, and she would have to go along with their rules until she found an escape. It would take time, and patience…but if it would make the chance to see her sister again worth the wait Nasia would do it.
Being stuck down there gave her time to think, she figured that Aro couldn't read her mind that might be why he didn't have much to tell her before. For why Caius wanted her, she didn't care but he wasn't going to turn her into a slave. These creatures had nothing going on, it was like they wanted to remain in their own little timeline away from the mortals which she understood but didn't want.

"Hmm?" she looked up hearing someone tamper with the lock. When it opened Marcus stepped inside, and Nasia stood up. "You need something?"
"Come, quickly." he motioned to her.
"Why?"
"Just hurry, now." Nasia did so, and followed him to the end of the corridor to another door, he opened it, and she saw he was holding a black duffle bag. "This room leads to a secret passage outside the city. You remember where the airport is?"
"Yeah, miles down the road but…" he silenced her with a hand up.
"Get on the first plane you can to Forks Washington, leave all your things you brought before and just go. In this bag is a change of clothes, a passport made for you, a plane ticket, some money, and a disposable phone. Keep it on you at all times."
"I don't understand…why are you helping me?" he touched her arm, but it was a gentle touch.
"You aren't meant to be caged up but…he will come for you eventually." she glared.
"I'd like to see him try, but why are you…?"
"You have a chance to see your sister, but don't ask any more questions. When you get to Forks call Carlisle Cullen, his number is in the phone. He'll be able to help you." Nasia didn't get why this guy was letting her go, but she took the bag.
"My thirst...?"
"There is a container of it in there, drink it before you get on the plane and before they check your luggage." that made some sense. "Don't worry about your gift yet, just control your anger." Anger, yeah the blast that might help.
"You'll be alright won't you?" something about this man made her feel at ease to trust him, probably the sad aura around him.
"I will, now go before the guards come." he moved aside.
"Thank you." she ran for it and followed the tunnel down like he said. As soon as she reached the end she stopped in an alley to pull out the clothes, a set of jeans, a purple shirt, and some clean shoes and socks. Once she was dressed she ran down the road, remembering how to get to the airport and made it just before the doors closed. Quickly getting into the empty restroom she took out the container and drank down the blood...hopefully it would sustain her until she got to Forks.
'Let's see…' the ticket she had was a trip for a midnight plane to Forks, from here in Italy it would take…sixteen hours. There was a total amount of five hundred American dollars in the bag, she stashed it in her pocket to be safe. All she had to do was get her luggage checked and the plane would take off in an hour, first class too...wow.
"Buonasera senorita how can I help you?" She walked around seeing the lines were low, she found and took the first empty one she saw.
"Yes, I'm heading to Forks Washington." she handed the woman her passport.
"Alright…let's just check a few things here." going through the usual checkout everything seemed to be fine. Nasia had to admit, a powerful vampire coven had to have good connections to get this done. "Looks good to go, your flight should leave in about forty-five minutes."
"Thanks." she took a spot in a row of seats, and patiently waited for the intercom to announce her plane was ready to leave.
'I'm coming Belle, I'm coming home.'
So now Nasia is on her way, and I might've led on that she would escape on her own but that might've been a bit difficult.
Now Nasia is going home, but what is Aro's plan to let her go? Is she really free, or is this a ploy to make her feel safe until Caius comes after her? What will the reactions be once Nasia returns to Forks, where will she go first? Will Alice see her coming? Or will she be blocked from her visions? How's Bella going to take all this, or how will the wolves react and Charlie?
