Part 2 - Chapter 2: Tuscany Turnout

When we reached Volturra, I was immediately bored. In the Cullen coven, I was the one who moped around, but I still had social interaction. Here, you didn't seem to talk. I wasn't scared or anything of that matter, I was just shushed by the tension and intimidation they apparently felt from their own group. Group dynamics, I guess.
I knew that a few were attempting their gifts on me, but of course none of them worked. I guess I did have a shield. Bella would be so mad. If I ever saw her again. Sudden emotions claws at my throat almost as bad as being thirsty. Which I wasn't. Suddenly, my throats were on how I was going to get back to my coven. It seemed impossible.
When I entered the domain of the Volturi, I realized they weren't happy with who they had recruited. I finally broke the silence by shoving the new girl in the shoulder lightly and joking, "This place is like Dracula's." She looked at me with anger and shock at the same time. I thought I noticed a sliver of fear, but she turned away too soon.
I sighed at my situation. Would there ever be an end? I figured the full brunt of the circumstances would hit me soon enough, so I asked the one question I knew to ask. "What do you want from me?" All heads turned to me as we wandered the halls. I felt myself grow impatient before Diomedes laughed good-naturedly and answered, "To be part of the guard, of course."
The burning in my veins suddenly intensified by a million times. Diomedes was apparently someone to stay away from. Only trouble could result from being anywhere near him. And the closest thing to pain I had memory of. I ignored him as Aro purred, "We want to find out as much as possible about our new little jewel." That was unlikely.
