Discalaimer: Stephenie owns the whole shabang. Not me. I own the plot though...
I was stunned. I heard stories about this man, and from what I learned he was friendly, but I didn't know that he was that ancient looking. He had soft, wrinkly skin that had a strange translucent color.
He kept waiting for my answer, so I said in the most indifferent tone, "I guess I am a Cullen." At my answer he lost all sight of wariness and distrust and started babbling at amazing speeds. Wow, I thought Alice was bad, but he makes Alice seem quiet.
"Ah, so you must know Carlisle. No, Yes? Well, I am an old friend of his. We had many memories together. That reminds me of this one time in France, we…" He kept babbling at me. I paid no attention to his babbling. He reminded me of someone many years ago.
Hmm, now that I think about, what was her name? I definitely remember having this one friend who was constantly talking. Oh, now I remember! Her name was Jessica. I wondered idly how she was doing.
I snapped out of my trance when Aro started finishing his walk down memory lane.
"We had so much fun that time. Well, could you show me the way to him so I can talk to him. See if he was as great as last time."
I knew about his special gift and lifted my hand so he could take it. He reached his hand forward too. After a few minutes, I was beginning to worry because his face had a weird mix of confusion, anger, and awe. He opened his eyes.
"I can't see anything."
That didn't surprise me. I told him how Edward's gift didn't work on me either.
He was staring into my eyes when he said this, gauging my response, "Have you ever thought of joining the Volturi? Your gifts would be a great help to us. Of course, you can keep your, how did Carlisle said this, 'vegetarian' life style. You would be helping the secret of our kind safe."
He paused, and then started again, "All you have to do is just come back with me to Italy. I'm sure your family would understand."
He was right. My 'family' didn't care about what I did.
"I think…"
Sorry about the cliffy. My OCD was acting up again. I had to write another chapter. Keep reviewing though. Give me ideas please! I would like to have more than 4 reviews.
