Chapter 8

Demetri's POV

"Took a bite out of her too, did you?" Aro smirked. "This lovely siren could feed our entire colony, that is unless she finds her mate. And the chances of that don't seem too likely, do they?"

I watched Estelle's face darken with his words.

"Ah this has made me a happy vampire but to think you could have also made a wonderful vampire. Oh well, a slave could do as well." Aro continued. "Come along my sweet, I must make an announcement of this news."

Aro walked past me and grabbed Estelle's arm, pulling her out into the corridor and into the main hall where the other vampires have gathered.

"Sorry we were having some inconveniences." Aro stated and a few chuckles ran out. "Our siren friend Estelle can never be a vampire but she can offer us blood for as long as she lives. Now who shall be the first to have a taste?"

"How about our lovely little Jane?" Aro smiled at her as she made her way towards Estelle. The other vampires moved out of her away, scared of what Jane would do if they interfered.

Estelle had her eyes downcast, saddened by her fate. Jane lifted Estelle's chin and put her lips on her neck opposite to where I had bitten her.

She took a sip and Jane herself started glowing blue. Jane's body emitting her power as every vampire there felt the pain she was radiating and she collapsed limb on to the floor.

A pin drop could be heard. Aro knelt beside Jane and looked up at Estelle with hatred in his eyes. He strolled up to her and slapped her.

"What good are you to me if you are claimed? Who has done this? Who has bitten you?" Aro shrieked.

Estelle's POV

Aro had claimed that the chances of me finding a mate were unlikely. And I had believed him. Though the slap hurt, his revelation brought hope.

The only once who had bitten me were Leon, Leah, Aro, Demetri and then Jane. It couldn't be Aro nor Leon nor the now dead Jane, so it had to be…

Aro seemed to realize this faster than I had, his fiery gaze fixed on Demetri. Demetri seemed calm as ever.

"Ah so it's you Demetri. You must not have known or did you?" Aro said. "She has killed Jane, and so you must kill her and prove yourself faithful to your brethren."

"As you wish." Demetri said calmly and a knife was handed to him.

"This knife has been passed down from the recently extinct vampire slayers, known to kill some of the greatest vampires that have walked amongst us. Now it will kill you, Estelle." Aro said.

I felt Demetri approach me and I closed my eyes anticipating the coldness of the sword. But no pain came and all I could hear was Aro's cries as I felt myself being grabbed and flown into the sky.

"I've got you."
