Amazed
Baby, I'm amazed what I feel for you

Don't you know-oh?

After I had finished feeding, Alec led me to the throne room. The blood had been so filling and warm. The best part was that it actually stopped the burning in my throat. I noticed that while I was feeding Alec had that glazed over look in his eyes. He had had it ever since we left the dungeons. Now we were going to meet the rest of him family. It had been quiet too. I stopped walking and so did he to turn around and look at me. He raised an eyebrow with a confused expression.
"Why did you stop walking?"
"I want to know if you're okay." I bit my lip.
"I am," he answered.
I nodded. "Okay."
Alec sighed. "Now let me explain to who everybody is and what will happen."
I nodded again. "Okay. I'm listening."
"Our clan is called the Volturi, consisting of 15 members-soon and hopefully 16," he shot me a smile. "We are considered royalty and have existed for at least 3,000 years. We were founded by Aro and his brothers Caius and Marcus. In the throne room, Caius will be on Aro's left and Marcus on his right. Athenodora is Caius's mate and Sulpicia is Aro's. The Volturi Guard consists of: Afton, me, Chelsea, Corin, Demetri, Felix, Heidi, Jane-who is my sister, Renata, Santiago."
"That's so many!" I mused.
He chuckled. "When you control the vampire world then there has to be many members."
We stopped walking. I looked in front of me at the huge elegant throne room door. I was so focused on what Alec was saying that I didn't even notice that we were already at the throne room. Alec opened the door. He went in first then took my hand and pulled me in after him.
"Look!"
I looked up to see a little blonde girl who looked a lot like Alec point at him.
"Alec's back!"
She hopped up from her seat in the far corner of the room and ran to her brother but stopped short when she saw me. She narrowed her eyes at me and then looked to Alec.
Her hands crossed her chest. "Who is she?"
"Yes, Alec, who is she?"
I looked up from Jane at Aro who was looking down at me from his throne with a creep smile and a curious expression.
"This is Sage," Alec introduced for me.
I nodded. "Hello," I offered quietly.
"Why is she here?" Jane asked Alec but glared at me.
"Because I turned her."
Some gasped erupted from the room. All I saw were two men and that woman, Heidi…from the tour! I held back my own gasp.
"Felix, Demetri, Heidi," Aro warned them.
Aro turned his attention back to Alec. "Alec, you know we can't keep them unless they are use to us."
"You don't want her to end up like Gianna." Jane laughed darkly and went to stand by Aro.
Alec winced and I squeezed his hand reassuringly.
"Aro?" Marcus asked him.
Aro turned immediately to his brother.
"Do you sense something, brother?"
"I sense a very strong relationship between Alec and Sage. Sage is Alec's mate," Marcus spoke in a raspy whisper.
Aro sighed thoughtfully then look at me then to Alec. "Well if she's your mate then that changes everything, doesn't it?"
"No," Jane spoke suddenly with a frown. "How do we know if we can trust her?"
"My thought exactly," Caius glared at me with hatred causing me to wince.
Alec pulled me protectively behind him.
"Well I think she shows promise," everyone's eyes were on him, "maybe even…talent."
He laughed to himself.
"Aro!" Jane huffed. "You can't be serious!"
"Yes I am, Jane," Aro spoke while still smiling at me.
"If she's so fit for the Volturi then why don't we have her prove it?" Jane smiled darkly at me.
"I suppose it would do no harm," Aro said after a moment.
My eyes widened.
"What?" Alec yelled then he turned to Jane. "Stop it Jane," Alec warned to his sadistic little sister.
"Why should I?" Jane bent into a crouch.
"Because you know that if you try and harm her then I'll have no choice but to defend her," Alec hissed, going into a crouch in front of me.
Jane straightened her back. "You wouldn't!"
"Don't test me Jane," Alec warned her again.
I took in an unneeded breath. Jane looked at me.
"Just stay out of my way," she spat towards me before turning and exiting the throne room in a huff.
I sighed. Alec straightened up and pulled me into him. My head rested and hands rested on his chest as his arms wrapped securely around me.
"I'm already growing quite fond of her," Aro smiled down at me. "I say she stays."
Alec sighed thankfully. I looked up at him and giggled then I looked at Aro. "Thank you."
Aro nodded. "Now be on your way. Alec must explain the rules to you."
We turned to leave but Alec stopped and turned to face Aro. "Aro, where are Sulpicia and Athenodora?"
"In London…shopping." Aro chuckled to himself.
Alec nodded then led me out of the throne room. Before the door closed I heard Aro call to me. "I hope to be seeing more of you Sage and I hope that you are of great use to us."
xXx
It had only been five seconds but it felt like minutes after we left the throne room. We were still walking…exploring the castle.
"Can I show you something?" Alec asked as we stood outside this one room.
I shrugged. "Sure."
He grinned at me then opened the door. I gasped and stepped inside. The room was tall with medieval looking furniture. There was a window looking out into a vineyard. The sunshine rained in from the window and rested on me. I gasped and took a step back.
"It won't hurt you," Alec assured. "All of those vampire myths aren't really true."
I stepped into the sunlight and watched in awe as pale skin sparkled like diamonds.
"I'm…I'm…." I couldn't find the words.
"You're angelic," Alec finished for me.
I looked at him. No one had ever called me angelic before. I had never stood out or eclipsed the tan, platinum blond, mini skirt and tank top wearing, big breasted girls and my school. I had always faded into the background because I was pale and small and didn't exactly have Pamela Anderson boobs. I was pretty but not gorgeous.
Alec gestured with his hand to the full-length mirror. "If you don't believe me then see from yourself."
And I did. I gasped. I really did resemble some sort of angel. I was very pale, with blond wavy hair, bright red eyes, and a perfect face and body. The type even professional models wish they had. I smoothed out a wrinkle in my white cotton dress that came just above my knee.
I was wearing white slippers to match it. I twirled a blond curl between my thumb and fore finger and my full pink lips turned up into a smile.
"Do you believe me now?" Alec asked breaking me away from the mirror.
I turned to face him. "Yes," I whispered.
I walked toward him till I was so close out chest almost touched. I rested my hands on his chest and inhaled.
"you smell so good and you amaze me too." I inhaled again.
Alec's arms wound their way around my waist.
"You smell like roses," he mumbled against my neck.
My upper body pulled away. He looked at me, confused. I stared into his eyes before closing them and molding my lips against his. He looked surprised for a second before closing his eyes and moving his lips against mine.
I moaned quietly. He tasted good too…sort of like chocolate. This was nice…so nice. And all the while I felt my lips get a tingly sensation. I tilted my head as he sucked on my bottom lip. Alec groaned quietly. I wanted to stay like this forever. I pressed my body to his. He began walking us backward till I felt the end of the bed bump against the back of my knee. We fell onto the bed with me on the bottom and Alec on top. Not once did the kiss break. I ran my fingers through his hair. We were so caught up in each other that we hardly noticed the knock at the door. But we did causing Alec to fly from to across the room. My eyes opened and I sat up abruptly. All of this happened in the same second. The door opened revealing Felix. He frowned when he observed my dishelved hair and the wrinkled bedspread. Felix sighed.
"I don't want to know," he turned to Alec, "Jane has requested for you," he turned to me, "And Heidi, you."
Alec and I both nodded. Felix gave us both a suspicious look before turning and leaving. Alec was sitting next to me in a second.
"Sorry." He kissed my cheek before smoothing out my hair.
I giggled. "Don't apologize. The kiss was…very nice."
He chuckled. "I'm glad that you enjoyed it."
"Thoroughly." I ran my hand through his hair again.
He chuckled and got off the bed. "I should go see Jane before she gets aggravated."
"I should go see Heidi."
Alec walked to the door and opened it letting me out first and there was Heidi standing by the door and waiting for me. Alec kissed me on the cheek again then left to go meet Jane. I turned toward Heidi. She had an eyebrow raised and a satisfied smile on her face.
"I see you two are getting to know each other."
I giggled. "You could say that."
She giggled with me and then eyed my dress. "Cute dress but you can't where that for the rest of eternity so I'm taking you shopping. We'll be in a limo so by the time we get to some good shopping malls it'll be dark enough to go outside."
I frowned, confused. "But the sunlight doesn't hurt us."
"Yes, but humans cannot know of our existence so it would really tip them off-especially here in Volterra-if we walked down the street sparkling like diamonds. Demetri will drive us."
Before I could say anything else Heidi took my arm and led me outside toward the awaiting limo.
Did you like the fluff? I actually wish it was me making out with Alec but it's not. ~sigh~
me + reviews = super happy heart
