Present

A light tap on my door awoke me from my slumber, and without me saying whether he could come in, he walked in.

"I didn't say you could come in," I grumbled.

"I don't need your permission, you're under my watch, Scarlett Rose," Demetri smirked. My breath hitched slightly. Whenever he said my full name, it had an effect on me.

"Well if you were a good enough tracker, you wouldn't need to have an eye on me twenty-four seven," I teased, but he then appeared annoyed.

"You cheat and go out in sunlight!"

"If I didn't want you to find me, I would have left while there was more time. I personally enjoy hide and seek," I flirted.

He gazed down at me and I could still feel his emotions as if he were laying on top of me.

"What are you feeling right now," I grabbed his arm, "Tell me the truth."

"Lust," he whispered. I let go of his arm.

"What's that?"

"I know you've felt it. That's just the name of that feeling."

I started to blush, and released the hold my mind held on his. He blinked a few times, and then looked angry.

"You can't just force people to tell you what you want to know," he snarled and stood up. My heart dropped as he turned away from me and started to pace by the door. To be honest, I have felt this crush over Demetri for a while, and I have noticed him staring, and then looking away. He has taught me everything between self defense, and standing up for myself, to being able to hide without a tracker finding me, but even if I was the best hider, Demetri would always find me. My dad thought of the perfect guard for his rebellious teenager.

These past few months, my breasts have gone from an A cup, to a healthy C, and even though I'm very slender, my hips and bottom have started to fill out to an hourglass figure. Sometimes, during our workouts, I would feel Demetri's gaze intensify and I would get this feeling in my core as what I can now identify as lust.

"Your charm is getting stronger, it won't be long before you can over power Aro."

"Well the day I can, I'm getting the hell out of here," I huffed, "I'm so tired of being locked away."

"Scarlett, you are the princess, of course you are going to feel as though you don't have any freedom, because you don't," he laughed, "and even if you run, I assure you after I've had a taste of you, I can always find you."

He was suddenly standing inches away from me, and my body ached for his hands to be on me again. I tried to sit up, but my body was still sore from the night before and I flinched. My body was immediately supported by Demetri and he gently laid me back down.

"You need to rest," he demanded.

"I think I need something a little stronger than rest" I flirted and fluttered my fingers along the waste of his pants. He grabbed my wrist and gave me a harsh gaze. I then grabbed his arm with my free hand, and tried to sink my hooks into him.

This sudden connection made me have to take advantage of the situation, it's not typically this easy to control Demetri.

"Do you have feelings for me?" I then demanded, "If you do, I want you to show me."

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, his lips came crashing into mine, and he was suddenly on top of me, his big, cool, hands cradling my face.

I thought I was going to hyperventilate. So this is what it felt like? His hands made their way to my breasts, and his soft lips trailed to my neck. I felt him breath in and then freeze. In a blink, he was across the room from me, body ridged, eyes black. I was scared and attracted at the same time, and my heart was pounding against my chest. I could tell I had lost all control over him, and now he was blocking me.

"This is not good," he whispered, "Aro will find out."

"It's not like you deflowered me," I grumbled

"He's going to see everything!" He yelled. He's going to want to see what happened yesterday and all he's going to see is what just happened now, and what I wanted to do to you." My senses were on hyper drive. My body wanted him so badly.

"He may be so mad about that, he may forget about how badly I have craved your blood since I've had to remove the venom." I shuddered. I never imagined vampires would be as thirsty around me as they are humans.

"Maybe I could convince him he doesn't need to see our thoughts," I suggested.

He scoffed and started pacing around the room, "This isn't right. He's going to kill me. I'm supposed to be protecting you, not snogging you. I watched you grow up, hell, you're only six years old!"

The lust that filled my senses, now started to boil with rage, "Oh, so now you of all people are going to point out how I'm only six! Get out!" I yelled and threw a pillow at him.

"I would if I could!" He sneered back, "Be quiet, everyone's going to here you."

"I don't care! I'm tired of being a prisoner, I don't want to be here anymore!" I started sobbing and hid my face in my blankets.

I felt his presence return to the side of my bed, but he wouldn't look at me. When I calmed down, I peered over my blankets at him. He had a worried expression upon his face.

"What?" I asked. He then sat on the edge of my bed.

"I just hate seeing you so sad all the time."

"I feel like I'm just an experiment, and I have no true place in this world. I want to go out, and explore the world, but I will never be able to do that."

"Yes, you were an experiment, but that was to see if your kind was a threat, but your mother was more lonely than you," Demetri replied, "Sulpicia was a different being without you. After meeting the Cullen's hybrid, she felt as though she became a vampire too soon, and she wanted a child so badly. Aro did see your birth as something that could benefit the coven, but he has changed since you were born. He loves so much more, but because of that he just wants to make sure you are constantly guarded, so no one can take you away from him. You have brought light to the Voltori again, Scarlett Rose. Your ability to control emotions is amazing, but I can tell that your developing ability of mind control also worries him. I imagine that's why your training has halted. You have a rebellious mind, and people are worried that you can soon take over the Volturi."

"Maybe I will," I grumbled.

"Don't say that out loud," he hushed, "You never know who could hear."

"Who are the Cullen's?" I asked, "You said they had a hybrid, I thought I was the only one."

Demetri's eyes widened, "They never told you of Renesmee?"

"Dad told me I was the only one of my kind," I said. I can't believe it, there's someone else like me out there.

"Well I don't think I'm supposed to say anything then, I'm sorry."

As he was standing up to walk away I grabbed his arm.

"No. Tell me about Renesmee," I commanded. He froze.

"She is probably about seven years old now. She is the child of Edward and Bella Cullen. Bella became pregnant as a human with Edward's child, and they ended up having to turn Bella when Renesmee was born so Bella would not die. That is how our coven discovered that hybrids were even possible."

"Where do they live?" I asked.

"Forks, Washington."

"I want to meet them," I said.

"You can't. They may not be friendly to you," Demetri answered, "But if you can get out of here, find an airport, and get to America."

I let go of his arm, and I could see my glamor was fading.

"Why did you do that to me?" Demetri spat angrily, "Besides, even if you left, I will always find you Scarlett. Now that I've had a taste of your blood, it would be impossible for you to run, and I have to follow Aro's command."

"I need to find Renesmee; I need to find someone like me, and I want to be free. I'm going to leave one day, and you guys won't be able to stop me."

"Well maybe you will get farther than a local pizza place," Demetri laughed, "You always get so distracted with the little things and spend all of your time there."

"This time, I won't," I went up to him and grabbed his hand. "You will forget we had this conversation." His eyes glazed over and I knew my command had worked.

"Can I have some alone time?" I asked, "Just step outside the door."

The second command also worked and Demetri left my room to leave me in peace. I need to come up with a plan. My powers over Demetri have increased ever since he had my blood. I can get past all of the weaker guard members, but if I run into Jane, Alex, or my father, I will be screwed. Light bulb! They have a meeting at 7 am today. I looked at the solid black watch on my wrist. 5 am. I could leave today. It's going to be risky because it's spontaneous, but my dad won't have any time to read my thoughts. If I go out during the day, they wouldn't even be able to search for me for at least twelve hours. They wouldn't dare to step foot outside during the day. I grabbed my suitcase from under my bed and started to pack everything I owned. I threw on my black leggings and my black hoody, and laughed to myself. My mother hates it whenever I don't wear my robes, or fine dresses. I managed to get the hoody and leggings last time I snuck out. They are just so much comfier than the heavy dresses I have to wear. Once I was packed, I waited.

Seven o'clock strolled around soon enough, and I walked out of my room. Demetri was still standing outside my door, in a trance.

I grabbed his hand, "Take me to the exit."

He led me down the dark, stone hallway and within a few minutes we were at the front door. I looked at his eyes, which were still glazed over, and for a minute I studied his beautiful face. He had a prominent facial structure and the most perfect lips. If I could, I would kiss him, but I don't want him to get in trouble whenever he has to surrender his thoughts to my father.

"Demetri, I am leaving for America, and you are going to let me. I cannot tell you where I will be going there, but I know you will find me anyway. I won't talk to strangers, and I'll stay in at night so I won't run into any vampires. I will be safe. I need to do this, and I know when my time is up, you will find me, but you need to let me leave," I said and he nodded. Before I opened the door I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I think I love you," I admitted, but before I could let him reply I said, "Goodbye, Demetri."

And I was into the sunlight yet again, but this time I had a real mission. I ran into the streets that were starting to become crowded by people who were trying to get to work.

"Taxi!" I yelled out and a taxi cab pulled up to the curb.

"Where is the nearest airport?"

"Florence, but that's an hour and a half drive."

"Take me there."
