A/N: I just wanted to let you know that the next chapter will be from the mysterious vampire's point of view. If you have name ideas, let me know. Also, in this chapter I used a quote from Twilight. Kudos to you if you figure it out! To keep in mind, the words in italic (Except the first 2 sentences) are Gianna's thoughts when she was at that place. This story is written in past tense, except for the conversation and italics.

Disclaimer: I called Stephenie Meyer and she said I could pretend to be her for they day. Not...

CHAPTER 4

From Chapter 3

"Do you know what we do to people who mess with vampires?"

I took a deep breath and braced myself for the worst.

"Luckily for you, it's not up to me to decide," he said, a growl rumbling in his throat.

I realized I had been holding my breath and I slowly let it out at his words.

"Who is it up to?" I asked, not really looking forward to the answer.

"Aro."

I wanted to ask more questions. Who was Aro? Why was he so important? Why did I have to go meet him? However, by the look on his face, I knew that he wasn't about to elaborate. So instead, I asked a different question.

"Where is he?"

"Volterra, Italy"

I thought to myself, hold the phone. Did he just say Italy?! Is he crazy?? There is no way I am going to Italy with him.

"I beg to differ." (Oh man, did I just say that out loud again?) "You will go to Italy as planned and Aro will figure out what to do with you."

I'm not going to explain all the details of getting to Italy, but I will tell you this. I have never been more uncomfortable in my whole life. Sitting next to him in an airplane was the worst experience I ever had. He never talked, and the one time I tried to ask him a question, he exploded in my face! So much for being friendly…

Just to emphasize my point, I'll elaborate on the one conversation we did have.

"Uh, so…..been a vampire long?" I decided that a little conversation wouldn't hurt.

"Is that your pathetic attempt at small talk?"

I decided to change the subject.

"By the way, you never told me your name." If I was going to be kidnapped, I at least wanted a name for the authorities.

"How is that any of your business?"

"Oh come on! If you're going to kidnap me, you could at least tell me your name!"

"Why are you still talking to me?" He shouted in my face.

That was the end of that.

We finally arrived to Italy, and by that time I was sick and tired of this vampire.

"Ok, look. I know we got off to the wrong start, but let's start over and try to be friendly."

"You're joking right? What makes you think I want to be friends with you?"

"Fine then. If that's the way you want it, then I'll play your game. SOMEBODY HELP! HELP! THIS GUY IS TRYING TO KIDNAP ME!"

He was instantly by my side with his hand over my mouth. But it was too late. By this time everyone was looking at me, and security slowly came towards us.

"Tell him you're kidding NOW. Tell them you're kidding or I'll kill you," he whispered into my ear.

"You don't even know where I live. If they take me back home, you'll never find me," I whispered back, despite his hand over my mouth.

"Trust me, I'll find you. And when I do, I'll be merciless. Not only will you pay, but everyone around you will too. Innocent people will die and it will be your fault."

That did it. I was furious. It wasn't fair that someone could control my life like that. How could someone have that much power? I wanted that power. In seconds a plan was formed in my mind. But in order for that plan to work, I had to go along with this stupid, unreliable vampire.

"Are you ok ma'am?' The security guy finally reached us and was suspiciously eyeing us.

"Uhm yes, I'm sorry officer. I was dared to say that; it was a joke."

"We don't appreciate those kinds of jokes around here. This is an airport, not a playground."

"I'm sorry sir, it won't happen again."

He walked away and I immediately turned around.

"THERE! Are you happy now? That was my last chance at freedom!"

He murmured something that was so low I couldn't hear.

"What?"

"Nothing." He turned away and started walking towards the exit.

I had no choice but to follow. There was no way this could end well.
