I am so, so, so sorry for not updating for awhile. It took me forever to write it, and my beta was out of town...sigh... I think that the world has been against me with this chapter.

Please review!

I stepped off the plane, anxious to get to the fresh air. The Seattle airport was quite crowded. The hunt I had gone on before I left Italy wasn't helping much. I didn't know how those Cullens survived on animal blood. It was terrible. It smelled like a mix of dirt and sweat. I had trouble keeping it down. The smell of the passing humans was much more delectable. But, I had to keep my eyes golden, just so I could get into the Cullen's.

This whole assignment was ludicrous. Well, that's what I thought at least. I still didn't understand the whole mission well. Why did we even need to know what this Bella's power was? It couldn't possibly be better than anything that we had ourselves, could it? Apparently, I was supposed to find out.

I left the airport, and found the car rental that I had placed back in Italy. It was a Mercedes-Benz SL550 Roadster. It was storm red with premium black leather, and Burl walnut wood trim. The Volturi didn't do anything half-way. This car was supposed to come out later this year, but when you have as much money (which seems to accumulate over the millenniums) as the Volturi, people tend to take bribes as large as those quite seriously.

Setting the small bag that was my only luggage in the seat next to me, I turned on the car with a flick of my wrist. The car was fabulous. I was racing down the highway within seconds. I had to turn on the voice-activated GPS system, and repeated the Cullen's address to it.

The pain in m throat was escalating. I had not gone without human blood for this long before, and animal blood didn't suffice. I might as well make a stop before I get there. I didn't want to be put in the way of temptation. I might kill someone. I turned off of the highway, and turned off onto a dead end road that led absolutely nowhere... except to the woods. I stopped the car at the end of the lane, and got out. I could already smell the wildlife. Disgusted, I walked into the forest.

Finding the herd of deer I had smelled wasn't very hard. I leaped before the large buck could panic, and snapped it's neck. I put my mouth to it's vein, and drank.

The warm liquid somewhat soothed the fire in my throat. I got up and wiped my mouth. I searched around to see if there were any humans in the forest, just so I didn't accidentally kill them.

I smell a fresh bloodsucker trail. It's not one of the Cullens. It's due north of us. Surround and attack.

All right, Sam.

I froze. The bloodsucker was obviously me, but what were the things coming after me? My question's answer was revealed to me instantly.

Six huge wolves (if you could even call then that) appeared out of the woods. They surrounded me, there was no way out.

A single growl that was echoed by the entire pack escaped them. My eyes were wide. I was going to die.

I braced myself for the pain that was sure to come. But then one thought saved me.

Guys, wait. Wait! Look at her eyes! They're gold. She's one of them. We can't kill her.

I sighed in relief. I was not going to die. Yet.

How did she know that we can't kill her? Can she hear us?

I nodded. "Yes, I can hear you."

Great, another mind-reading one. Ugh.

The thought was shared among them.

Who are you, leech, and why are you here?

"I am Amdis. I have heard of the Cullens, and wanted to find them. I don't drink from people. I'm looking for them," I spoke the truth.

They aren't here anymore. They left. Went to Canada from what we heard. Leave soon. We don't want danger here.

"I will. Thank you for the information."

They turned, and left. One more thought caught my attention.

Huh. She looks kinda like the leader of the Cullens. Same hair. Odd.
