Coleen and Emily stood there and stared at Aro and the other 5 with him.
"Well," Aro started, "it seemes as if you know who I am and that I'm a vampire, right? Good. Then I need no introducing. This is Marcus, Caius, Heidi, Demetri, and Jane." He pointed to each one as he said their names, and they stepped forward.
"Hello." Emily said, sounding like a zombie.
"What are you doing here?" Coleen demanded, her voice sounding braver than she felt.
"We came here to clean up a little mess that could expose our very existance." Aro said, still smiling cheerfully. Needless to say, his happiness was creepy.
"You mean to get rid of a vampire that have been murdering innocent people right in this town." Emily looked Aro straight in the eye with curiosity when she said this.
"Yes." He replied, not being able to hide the small hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Then why are you here?" Emily was getting a little more afraid every time more information got out.
"We smelled blood and thought that there had been an attack. We had to come and clean up the evidence and try to track who did it." Caius said as though this sort of thing happened everyday.
Coleen and Emily were seemingly unknowingly taking small steps backward, even though the action was obviously futile. Their trench coats were draped over their arms, and Coleen held hers to her tightly as though for protection.
"Well we weren't attacked so nothing's wrong here." Coleen's fear had gotten the better of her and her voice broke at the end. She silently cursed as she felt the wall connect with her back. No place to run now.
"Oh, you're wrong. Something is very wrong here. You obviously know too much. You two put our very existance on the line. You don't smell like vampires, and you heart beat is very distinct. And that's what the Volturi do. Destroy anything that puts our lives at risk of exposure."
"Get them!" Aro yelled at the others. Demetri and Heidi ran past Emily and blocked all ways of escape from behind. Caius and Aro closed in on the front and completed the circle. Jane walked in front if Coleen and looked up at her. You could see the fear in her eyes. Emily looked all around for a way to escape, but failed.
"What's the matter?" Jane said in a mocking tone.
"Don't waste time Jane!" Aro said, his happy facade gone now, and the fury building up in his voice. Jane looked at Emily, pure evil in her eyes, and her smirk ominous.
"No! Please, no!" Emily pleaded, falling to her knees. Coleen's eyes were huge, but she seemed to be in shock. Her legs were locked in place, yet her mind told her that there would be no escape. They were trapped.
"We smelled you blood, you were attacked, so we have to dispose of you because you already know too much." Aro said smiling as though that was reason enough to end their lives. "Jane?"
"Yes Aro." she replied, not taking her eyes off of Coleen, but her smirk growing more pronounced.
"Now. Do it. Kill them." Aro said. Jane smile grew even bigger as she backed up a little. She concetrated and stared at Coleen. Coleen shut her eyes tight, and clenched her fists, waiting for the inevitable pain. Yet nothing happened.
"I said now, Jane!" Aro yelled, his eyes burnung with rage. Both girls had never seen, nor read, anything about Aro being angry, and he was quite frightening. His perfect features were twisted into a look of pure fury at the thought of Jane disobeying his command.
"I did, nothing happened, quit your yelling!" Jane snapped at Aro, almost screaming. Aro's eyes widened and he looked Coleen up and down as though something in her appearance would give her away.
"Well try it on the other girl!" Jane nodded, turning back to Emily. She closed her eyes and her evil smile grew back again. She opened her eyes and tried to do her power, but yet again she had no effect on Emily.
"What is going on here?" Caius said, sounding a little impatient.
"I don't know, why don't you just shut your mouth!" Jane yelled. Caius seemed appauled by her sudden outburst. Jane was silently talking to Aro while the rest stood in their spots, looking almost tired of the wait to kill the two girls. Emily and Coleen never spoke a word to each other, fearing that if they did Aro would kill them instantly, after all, it was a miracle they had survived this long...
"Immune to my power? That's a completely idiotic theory!" Jane said while taking a step back from Aro.
"You can't disagree that it's a possibility." Aro murmured, still staring at the girls intrigued, all traces of anger gone.
"But how!" Jane started pacing around Coleen and Emily, who had slunk down to the floor and were sitting perfectly still out of fear.
"We'll have to spare their lives right now, for they are different than the other people you have used your power on. But we must still keep them. Demetri, could you dial Carlisle Cullen up and have him come down here now?"
"Yes, Aro. I'll do it right now." Demetri grabbed his phone and started walking down the hallway to the doors for reception, his murmuring just a blur of words he was talking so fast.
"As for you two," Aro said, gesturing to Coleen and Emily, "You will have to stay with us in this school. I hope you will behave and stay so we will not have to force you to behave." He gave them a questioning look.
"Oh, no! Don't worry, we'll behave, right Emily?" Coleen gave Emily, who was quite frozen with fear, a nudge to get her to talk.
"Oh, right, sorry. Yeah, I'll behave."
"Good. No trouble." Aro smiled pleasantly, his crimson eyes shining. Emily weakly smiled back, and so did Coleen. Demetri was still talking on the phone and Jane, Heidi, Marcus and Caius were talking quietly to themselves. Jane was still fuming slightly, and throwing the girls death glares that could only have matched Rosalie's. Coleen shuddered and made sure to look away.
After about 5 minutes Demetri started walking back with no expression on his face about the phone call.
"They are close to the school as we speak. Carlisle said that they were already on their way because the future teller saw that we were coming." Demetri closed his phone and went over by Jane, Marcus, and Caius.
"Her name's Alice." Coleen said, giving him a look that could have said 'How stupid are you'. Emily's eyes widened at Coleen's stupidity, and said her own silent goodbye to her best friend.
"Shut your insolent little mouth up!" Demetri roared, and ran over to Coleen as he was saying this and picked her up by the neck to his face level. Coleen's legs dangled a few inches off of the floor, and her eyes were wide with fear. Her pale face was already turning a pleasant shade of blue from lack of oxygen.
"Demetri," Aro started, "There's no need for that right now." Demetri glared at Aro before dropping Coleen on the ground. Coleen quickly crawled back over to where she was, putting her hands over her neck for protection.
Then there was a bang on the door at the end of the hallway, and 7 more poeple walked in. They were more inhumanly georgeous that Aro and the others. Emily and Coleen could only guess that they new people were the Cullens.
"Hello, I believe that you called us to come here." the first one, Carlisle, said.
"Yes, but I thought that it would have been only you, Carlisle. I am quite surprised." There was a little shock at the 7 vampires on Aro's face.
"We all needed to get out for a trip sometime, now, what is it that you need?" Carlisle stepped closer, still nowhere near Aro. Aro pointed to the two girls. "They are immune to Jane's power. I was wondering why. Can you tell me?"
Now Carlisle stepped up to Coleen and Emily and stared at them. "What are your names?" He asked, his voice sounding more beautiful than anything either of the girls had ever heard. Coleen stared, mesmerized and studying Carlisle's features, occasionally giving a mumble that sounded like, just like the book. Emily came to her wits first, and answered.
"I'm Emily, and this is Coleen."
"I'm Carlisle, this is Esme my mate, Alice and Jasper who are together, Rosalie and Emmett who are mates as well, and Edward."
"Hi." Coleen said, never taking her eyes off of Carlisle's. He looked the girls' over.
"I don't know why they are immune. I've never seen this before." Carlisle said, looking perplexed.
"Well, we have to dispose of them because they know too much. Carlisle, I thank you for your assistance and-"
"No! You can't just kill them!" It was Alice who interuppted Aro. Coleen breathed a sigh of relief, and Emily smiled faintly.
"Good to see someones on our side," Coleen whispered to Emily, even though she knew that the vampires could hear them. Emily gave Coleen a look that said, "Shut up, we aren't out of this just yet," and Coleen obeyed, still grinning, but now appraising the rest of the family.
"Then what do you suggest that we do with them, Miss Alice?" Aro had a look of triumph on his face as he said this.
"We could let them live, and one of us could watch over them, to make sure that they don't say anything." Alice was looking like she was about to beg for Emily and Coleen's safety. If vampires could cry, tears would have been streaming down her face.
"Well I don't know. We still will be in the area for a little while because something is out there and-"
"Basically a newborn vampire is rampaging and killing people in this area?" Emmett said, looking bored of Aro's long sentences.
"Yes. You could put it that way." Aro smiled, his teeth shining.
"We will stay in this area and watch over them." Carlisle said.
"Very well then, I leave you with these-"
"Pieces of shit!" Demetri yelled. he was still mad at what Coleen had said correcting him. Coleen grinned at his outburst, looking quite proud.
"Control yourself, Demetri! Now. Goodbye for now." and Aro, Marcus, Caius, Heidi, and Jane walked out of the door, leaving Coleen and Emily alone with the Cullens.
