CHAPTER TWO

The Weapon

Julie walked back to the room where Jonathan was done with his meal. He smiled at her as he pointed in the corner. She had smelled that one of them was still alive. She had thought about sending her away, but if she was to travel along with humans tomorrow, she had to keep her thirst in control.

With deep regret, she bent over the female who was crying her lover's death. She wasn't even trying to escape; she didn't even try to fight as Julie lowered her teeth to her neck and bit her, sucking her blood.

"It was good wasn't it?" Jonathan exclaimed. "She smelled sweet too, but he was better."

Julie only shrugged as she looked at the two dead bodies. She knew one of the guards was going to pick them up later, but she'd prefer if they would disappear.

"So why were you asked to the court?" He asked her.

"It's none of your business, Jonathan." She sighed.

He only rolled his eyes and they went back to be silent. From time to time, she glanced at the door, wondering what she was about to bring with her to Forks. It was about dawn when Jane appeared in the room.

"Jonathan, you may join the others. Your services are not longer required here." She told him as he frowned.

But unlike Julie, his curiosity didn't get the best of him as he simply walked out of the room. Jane was still glaring at Julie, but unlike Julie thought, she made no attempt to attack her. Clearly, Aro had forbidden her to.

"Get over it, Jane." She hissed.

Jane didn't even bother to reply and left Julie alone. Julie was glad that she had this few minutes to herself. She needed to think of a plan. She had no idea how she was going to proceed. So many things could go wrong. She knew that in the following minutes, she was finally going to know what was behind this closed door and hopefully, a plan will form in her mind. Aro appeared to her, still grinning. She bent down and waited for him to open the door.

She still had a hard time to believe that she was finally going away; she was finally doing something new.

"I'm warning you, Julie." Aro started. "You must take good care of him. He's our most powerful weapon."

She nodded and he finally opened the door. She peeked from above his shoulder to see someone standing up in the corner of the room. He was definitely a vampire, but at the same time, he seemed to be something else too.

"Thomas." Aro called and the man looked up.

Julie's eyes widened as he did. Surely she was seeing things. He couldn't be who she believed he was. Actually, she knew he wasn't him. Although no one could doubt their resemblance, the color of their eyes was different. The vampire found himself next to Aro in a second and got on his knees.

"Yes, master?" Thomas said as he locked his eyes with Julie.

His crimson eyes were scanning her. She was the first vampire he saw besides their masters and he was intrigued. He hadn't really given a lot of thought as all his masters told him were what he had been created for. And he waited all these years just to give them what they wanted. These other vampires were going to pay for their treachery.

"You will finally leave us to accomplish your mission." Aro smiled at him. "Julie will bring you to them and you remember what you have to do, right?"

"Kill them all." Thomas smirked. "Except for her. Yes, I do remember, master."

Except her? Which one were they to bring alive? Alice? Bella? She knew there were other females in that family, but none of them had met Aro. Surely, only one of them was interesting Aro enough to ask him to bring her alive. But another question was more important to her at that moment.

"How is it possible?" Julie whispered to herself, forgetting for a second that any of them could hear her.

"Like I told you before, Mariella had predicted that the Carlisle Cullen would cause us trouble as he created his family as he would call it. Mariella had seen the first member to join him. So, I sent two of my best guards to take him. Surely, Carlisle ignored that there was another boy or else, he would have probably taken him too. So they brought him to me, so I could take good care of him." He explained.

So Edward had a twin brother? That was sort of freaky. She actually wondered how Edward could have forgotten about that. She couldn't understand as she remembered every detail of her human life. But that was only question in the back of her head. The one that was mainly going in her was the one about why he had been locked up for the past years. Surely, he could have been with the others too. Was there something dangerous about him? Was that why he was Aro's weapon against the Cullens?

"We couldn't allow him to venture himself alone." He answered her silent question. "You see, it was still very dangerous for him to be seen."

"Is he controlled?" She asked as she thought about the upcoming journey.

She didn't want him to cause mayhem in the airplane while they were heading overseas.

"More than you perhaps." Thomas answered this time, sounding quite bitter.

So he might have looked like him, but he certainly didn't have the same attitude. Edward, though he had quite a temper, showed some sort of compassion. She shouldn't be surprised as they were not raise by the same people.

"That is settled. Mother nature seems to be with us today." Aro gleamed. "It's pouring rain outside, so you'll be safe to venture outside."

He put his hand on Thomas' shoulder while Julie avoided his touch subtly. If he noticed something, he didn't say nor did anything about it. As Aro and Thomas left the room, she peeked once more into the room that had been his. It was well decorated; much better than what she had seen of this place. Surely, he never got bored in there.

"Julie?" Aro's whisper brought her attention back to her mission.

She joined the two men as they waited by the black car. She saw that Felix was accompanying them to the airport making it obvious she would have to sit in the back with Thomas. If she had been surprised of whom he was, no one else seemed to. Maybe her and Jonathan were the only ones that their masters thought that would be better if they ignored it.

"Ladies first." Thomas smirked.

She sighed, but kept her tempter in. She wouldn't allow Aro to change his mind about letting her handle that mission. She needed to be the one to get to the Cullens before any damage were made.

She sat down and he sat next to her, looking quite comfortable being there as if he owned the place. She started to wonder if there wasn't more to him than what Aro was saying. She just couldn't believe that he could be so at ease in this world after being stuck in room for over eighty years. No something was definitely up.

"Man, I'd like to have my brother's power now." He chuckled. "You seem to have a lot on your mind."

"I guess that makes your brother more special than you." She replied.

He lost his smile as hers appear. He didn't add anything unless you counted the things he was telling to himself.

"Here you go you two." Felix said and then turned to face them. "Be careful. You will not receive a second chance at this."

"I know my orders and I'll follow them." She growled at him.

"It's not for you, Julie." He said eyeing Thomas.

"Still bitter aren't you Felix?" Thomas laughed. "Don't worry; if I can I'll save you some of them."

Obviously, everyone there wanted a piece of the Cullens except her. Was it so bad to be different?
