-1A New Order
Renata POV
Things have been quite different the last few weeks now that the Cullen coven has taken over rule of Volterra. It's not nearly as stressful although infinitely boring to me.
With Aro and Caius things were always happening. Wars were being started of course though the Volturi always won. I never suspected that the Cullens were so strong and that they would now be ruling our world.
Carlisle is such a different person than Aro. He sees to like being at peace as does his coven. It's hard to get used to being around him but I am adjusting.
I like his wife Esme she is quite different from the other wives that were here. Alice is an interesting creature, I think. Who knew a vampire could be so lively? Rosalie is a difficult person to get to know. She's very reserved almost to the point of being as cold as our skin. I would guess she would come closest to exhibiting what our true nature is without really living it. Yet, she seems very close to Alice and Esme and now Bella.
That was a shocker in and of itself. I couldn't believe how angry and volatile she was as a human. I would have to say now that she was brave to stand up to a coven of powerful blood drinking vampires the way she did. When she yelled and screamed at Aro telling him off for killing her parents and bringing her here against her will. Not to mention what she said to him as he revealed his plan to change her use her for a weapon. A feisty one she is. I figured she would be destroyed once Carlisle knew of her volatile and uncontrollable nature. That was why she had been locked up in a cell until she had changed. Of course by the time she woke up everything was over.
I was even more shocked when it became known that Edward had claimed her as his mate. I had heard much about him over the years from Aro and Caius. I knew he had been alone all his life and had never been interested in anyone. I was hoping that I could get him for myself but oh well, maybe Chelsea could help me out with that. At least by being with him, I would be considered royal and not just a mere subordinate as I now. I would be important again.
Chelsea POV
I am so bored that it's not even funny. I hate this new rule that we are not to use our powers until instructed to do so. Aro never restricted us like this. He always found delight in our playing games whether it be with humans or other vampires.
I don' think I will be sticking around very long.
I was excited when Renata came to me and told me she wanted my help in obtaining Edward for herself. I am only too happy to help and have something fun to do. I do love being evil and playing games with people.
I know I swore allegiance to the new rule but what they don't know won't hurt them and what harm can come of it? Carlisle is a peace loving vampire and values life so I doubt he would really do anything anyway even if he finds out about Renata and I and what we plan to do.
Edward is a grown man and can take care of himself.
