"Let him go. Please!" I cried to the one holding Damien down.
"Just let us go!" I cried.
"Let me think about that…no." The girl said coldly.
Then she must've had powers because I felt her concentrate deeply on me and I withered to the ground.
I heard one last thing before I became unconscious.
"Don't kill him, Alec. That's Aro's job." She said, laughing.
I woke up. I looked around worriedly.
Where was Damien?
He was lying on the bed his eyes closed.
It had been a dream!
I was so relieved I could…but my joy was short-lived.
"I see you're awake." The girl said, stepping out from the shadows.
"You! You're still here!" I cried.
She placed her hand on Damien's cheek.
Don't touch him!
I thought angrily.
"Well, of course we'd still be here. We wouldn't let you two fugitives get off so easily." She said.
"Why do you even want him? Or me for that matter?" I asked.
"Damien needs to be punished because of his inscolence. Do you really think the Volturi would tolerate such incompetence? And you. Do you even know of the power you have?" she asked me, curiosity in her eyes.
"I don't have a power. What are you talking about?" I said.
"You don't know yet, eh? Well, you'll find out soon enough." She smirked at me.
What did she do to him?
I thought looking at Damien's limp body. I wanted to run over there but I couldn't.
I was afraid to go near that girl.
"What is your name?" I asked.
"Jane." She answered simply.
"Where did that boy go?" I asked.
"Oh, Alec? He left to go tell our Masters that you two are…" she stopped talking abruptly.
"Are?" I asked, smiling a little.
How did I get her to talk like that? It was interesting.
"Are…ready to be…" The words coming out of her lips seemed to infuriate her.
"Killed." She said.
"Don't ask me anymore questions!!" She screamed.
I flinched. Were all Volturi this unstable?
A minute ago she had confidence and pride in her voice. Now she was trembling slightly.
Maybe that was my power. Whatever I asked a person, they had to give me the truthful answer. I could use this to my…advantage.
Damien eyes fluttered open.
Jane moved out of the way.
"Damien!" I cried, flying to his side in an instant.
"Morgan…?" he asked weakly.
"Yes, it's alright…" I said quietly.
"You have to get out of here, Morgan. I won't let them kill you because of me."
"Damien…I can't leave. This Jane girl is here blocking the door. Alec has gone to fetch Aro, Caius, and Marcus." I whispered frantically.
He let a low hiss escape from his throat.
He sat up.
"Jane." He said coldly.
She turned and smirked a sickening smile.
"Yes, Damien? It's been too long."
"Let her go. Now." He said.
"Damien, you know as well as I do, that I can't, what would Aro think?" she asked.
"What I don't understand, Jane is why they even want her. She's of no importance to them!"
"Now, I wouldn't say that." She said, thoughtfully.
"What?"
"They want her for two reasons. One, she has an ability even she isn't aware of yet. And, if they kill her first, they'd love to watch you suffer. I'd be more than glad to slit her throat. Because we all know I still have feelings for you, Damien." She said.
"But I don't have feelings for you." He said.
"I can always make you." She pointed out.
Damien stiffened.
"You know I'd never love you after that, Jane."
"You never you…" she murmured.
"How soon are they coming?" Damien asked.
"Pretty soon. Any last requests?" she asked coldly.
"Yes. I have one. Let us go." Damien said.
"No can do, Damien. It was your choice to fall in love with that…girl." She said.
"Morgan means everything to me."
"That apparently isn't very much." Jane sniffed.
Damien turned to look at me.
His eyes were filled with sorrow.
"I don't care if I die." I whispered.
"As long as it's with you."
He kissed my hand.
"Drop the noble façade, will you?" Jane said sourly.
Damien rolled his eyes.
"Why do you care, Jane?" he asked.
She didn't answer.
"Here they are, masters." We heard a low voice enter the room.
Four people in cloaks like Jane's entered.
They pulled their hood down so you could see their faces.
"Damien." One of them said with enthusiasm.
Damien looked down.
"Master." He answered.
"Ah…and is this Morgan?" he asked, eyeing me.
"Yes, master." He said quietly.
"She's extraordinary. Just what we need in our Volturi guard."
"Aro." One of them said.
"Caius…we don't have to kill them."
"Yes we do." Caius argued.
Marcus stood silent.
"He has been disobedient. He deserves to be punished." Caius said coldly.
"We don't have to kill the girl though." Aro pointed out.
"It would be an excellent punishment, however." Caius retorted.
Aro stood silent.
Caius came forward and glared at me.
I flinched back.
"Please masters…" Damien begged, "she has done nothing wrong. It was I who disobeyed. I'm ready to take my punishment but I beg you, please don't harm her and let her go free."
"And interesting notion." Aro said.
"Aro…" Caius said warningly.
"Morgan, you are free to go." He said to me.
I looked up in shock.
"What?"
"Free to go." He repeated.
I looked at Damien.
"Go, Morgan! Go!" he said.
I got up and ran out of the building, sobbing as I did so.
I didn't care about the belongings I'd left behind.
I just had to get out of there.
I had kept my cell phone in my pocket. I picked it up and dialed Alice's number.
"Hello?" she asked.
"A-Alice?" I said, my voice trembling.
"Morgan! What's wrong?"
"Damien is going to be taken away by the Volturi." I said.
I told her where I was.
I stayed by the airport and waited for her.
I doubted I could make the trip alone without sprinting back into the apartment, demanding Damien's release.
I know the truth now.
It was over.
There was never a chance of us being together.
Goodbye Damien.
