AN: In this chapter pretend that Heidi walks directly into the room( the tower), rather than talking out side to Dimitri- or else this won't work.

2. All good things come to an end
Heidi led us through the hallway, the tourists talking obnoxiously loud. I knew that the vampires would hear them before we even drew close to where they waited. Heidi talked about the history of the castle -something about it being a prison earlier - but I wasn't really listening, I was too busy wondering if I really was suicidal.
We entered a windowless room with many pictures of places we had just seen. I wondered if I would ever see them again . Heidi went up to the receptionist , " go on ahead" she smiled at us , dazzling the people directly in front of her with her seemingly innocent white teeth, " I'll catch up with you in a second. Just head down that hallway and through the doors" .
So onward the loud tourists trekked, oblivious of their imminent doom. One woman in front of me turned and asked me something in a language I didn't understand, she sounded really upset. Maybe not everyone was so oblivious. I thought of trying to warn her in some way, perhaps we both could get away from this , but, as I took her arm and turned around to sneak back to the reception room Heidi, who had apparently finished talking to the receptionist, was there blocking our path .
She gave us an inquisitive look, " the room is just up ahead" she said with an encouraging smile.
"yes" I said warily " but we were wondering if we could stop at a bathroom?"
" there is one just up there" she replied pointing to the doors the others had gone through. I could hear a voice greeting the newcomers , we were not getting out of this. The woman clutched at her rosary, seeming to have given up on me, and went ahead trying to ask others her unknown question, but it appeared noone spoke the language. I heaved a sigh an headed into the room.
It was beautiful in a cold sort of way, even though the sun pouring in from the high windows was warm. The people in front of me were already snapping pictures of their surroundings and pointing excitedly at various things. Others seemed to begin to sense the danger they were in.
Over in the corner I saw Edward , Bella and Alice. They looked just like the image I had gotten of them from when Heidi described them on the phone. I tried to get their attention but they were too busy trying to get Bella out, which was understandable. Not like they would know me anyway . I was the last to walk in so as I passed they hurried out the door . Heidi walked up to the figures sitting in very large wooden chairs whom I assumed were the Volturi .
I stealthily walk toward the doors but , obviously human stealth does not go unnoticed by vampires, and Felix slams and locks the door smirks at me and then heads over to the cluster of humans, an obvious glint of hunger in his eyes.
I try opening the door, first quietly then louder and louder as I become more desperate. That's when the screaming starts .I don't bother turning around , I just hold on to the door, as if by doing this it will magically open.
I figure that , since I'm going to die , I might as well sing quietly to myself while I wait, to block out the screaming behind me , and to keep myself from screaming as well .
"Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end, come to and end
why do all good things come to an end
Well the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day
'Till the feeling went away
And the sky was falling and the clouds were dropping
And the rain forgot how to bring salvation
The dogs were barking at the new moon
whistling a new tune hoping it would come soon
so that they could die..."(1)
As the screaming ceases I can't help but turn around.
That was a mistake.
Standing directly behind me, inky black hair and chalk white skin sparkling from the light leaking in from the high windows, is no other than Aro.

(1) Nelly Furtado, Loose, all good things ( come to and end)
This was the first chapter I wrote (even though it's the second) because this is where it started in my head while listening to Nelly . It's a bit shorter than the first so I'm not sure how I will proceed .( I had a lot of things to fill in in the first chapter)They could be longer or shorter.
Playlist: Afraid- Nelly Furtado -this is the song that started the whole story
All good things ( come to an end)-for good measure
If people don't review I will...Probably keep writing anyway , but they would be nice.
