Who would have thought it would be so easy, so easy to become so powerful, with just a snap of my fingers. Who would have thought that one girl could bring me so much power.

When I first saw her coming off that plane in Volterra I was so tempted to take her right then and there. The pain and suffering radiating off her was so strong. It permeated the air and flowed through my body with every breath I took. It was almost too good to be true; she would be too easy to take control of.

I knew that she would be the one I would use to implement my revenge against the Volturi. I followed her throughout Volterra, but I ended up losing her when her and her little friend got in some yellow Ferrari and sped off. By the time I found her she was perfectly content in the arms of some bronze haired vamp. She was no longer pained and depressed; she was happy…and useless. There was no negative energy that I could feed from.

When I finally figured out that the source of her happiness was the bronze haired boy, I made sure to keep tabs on her. I almost had a heart attack when one of my seekers told me that her lover had left her again. I had to stop myself from calling the boy up and thanking him for providing me with the one thing that I needed to wipe out the entire vampire race.

I thought her pain was immense in Volterra, but when my seekers finally brought her to me I almost fell over because of the pain projecting off of her. Her suffering was almost palpable. I wasn't going to lose her again, so I made sure to tap into her energy right then and there. Now her thoughts are no longer her thoughts, her actions are no longer her actions. Everything belongs and is controlled by me.

Now it is time. It is time for me to set my revenge into affect. They will pay for nearly demolishing my race so many years ago. If the prophecy is that only one group of us can survive at a time, then I plan to wipe them all out. One-by-One…..

Edward Pov

" Edddieeee can we please go….pleaaasssseeee!" As much as I love Allie, she tends to get quite annoying sometimes. "Why do you want to go to a ball with the Volturi?"

"I don't care about that the Volturi! All I care about is the ball. There will be gowns and lights and entertainment….awww come on Edward pleasssseee! Everyone else is going."

"Everyone else…wow you really have no defense against peer pressure."

"Edward, stop joking! Come on…do it for me. She pulled out the infamous puppy dog face that Bel-I mean someone I used to know did.

"Fine, I'll go." There was a yelp of joy from all the women in the house. And then a sudden flash off white went across the room.

"Edward…Me, Esme, Rose, and Allie our going dress shopping. Don't wait up; we're going to spend the week in Paris!" And with that they were out the door and into the brand new Escalade. (Dresses on profile)

Asrai Pov

I honestly don't understand why it takes to two hours just for a person to decide whether or not a simple dress fits or not. I've never been poked and prodded that much in my life. We went through about seven dresses before we decided on a nice flowing ivory dress with accents of lace. (Dress on my profile)I loved it.

Now I'm on my way to my meeting with Caelian. I've been wondering all day what my glamour with be. I think that's what I love the most about these missions; its fun to have the ability to become anyone I want. When I'm strong enough I will be able to put my glamour on all by myself.

I walked slowly up the stairs and pushed through the giant oak doors. Caelian was standing by the window in deep thought; no doubt deciding what my glamour would be this evening.

"Caelian, I'm ready."

Caelian slowly turned away from the window. "Why hello your majesty, Now, shall begin?"

"Close your eyes dear, focus on your face. Tell me when you see it."

"I see it!" It was the best glamour Caelian ever came up with. (Glamour on my profile)

"Focus my dear; now capture it, see it as your own" I could feel my face slowly changing into my glamour. "There you go dear. Now go get dressed you have a big night ahead of you. Do you remember what to do?"

"Yes sir, I do."

"Good, I will see you later."

I could feel a tingling feeling all throughout my body. The night was new and I was on a mission. I would steel as many powers as I could.

But first I will start with my top choice…Aro.

Edward Pov

I'm not a big fan of Aro's gala type things that he insists on throwing every century. In fact I'm not a big fan of crowds' period; vampire or human. I think the only reason Aro throws these thinks is to remind all of us just how much power he has.

Whatever the reason, I am now in a $1500 Armani suit sitting in a limo next to my wife Allie. The thoughts of my family permeate the silence around us. Rosalie, as always, is thinking about how beautiful she is. You'd think after more than three centuries she would become a little less shallow.

Emmett is thinking how hot rose looks in her dress and what he had planned for them tonight. Ewwww. Carlisle is in deep thought about what possible subject Aro so desperately needs to talk about. Aro requested a private meeting with are family after the gala.

Esme is gazing out the window trying to decide what color she wants to repaint our living room. Jasper sits silently on the opposite side of me thinking about his vows for him and Alice's 26th wedding. Alice is going over flower arrangements for the wedding reception. Then all of the sudden she is struck with a vision.

Aro-"Carlisle," he stared off into a wall then turns back to face us. "We've known each other quite some time."

Carlisle-"Yes, and it's been a wonderful friendship"

Aro-"Yes…yes it has. I feel we've known each other long enough were it is acceptable for one to preform various favors for the other. Right?"

Carlisle-"What do you nee?."

Aro-"There is a place called Alessandria…."

"Alice what was that about?" Suddenly all the family's attention was on me and Alice.

"I don't know…have you ever heard of Alessandria?"

"No, not that I know of."

"Edward, Alice, what's going on?" Carlisle was mentally going through all of his textbooks trying to find any mention of Alessandria. "What was your vision about?

Just as Alice was about to explain to everyone else our driver appeared at our door. Standing next to him was one of Aro's guards.

"Welcome Cullens, Aro is expecting you…"

Aro Pov

I heard Jane before I saw her. "Jane, what do you want?" I hated when people disrupted my thinking.

"The Cullens have arrived."

"Good. Make sure you send someone to greet them when they enter. And be sure to remind Carlisle that I will like to see him after the gala."

"Yes sir." Jane left so I decided to take a quick walk before I went down to join the others at the gala. That's when I saw the her, the most beautiful woman I've ever set my eyes on. And I looked into her eyes and I knew that I was hers…forever.

Please review! Next chapter soon.
