Chapter 7- Mission 1

After I found out bout my gifts, Kate and I tried to make my shield and influence stronger, we had been practicing all day. Now, I could control someone do pretty much anything, and block someone miles away, I was growing stronger very quickly. I can't believe it has been 10 days since I left the Cullen's , even less can I believe that they've left me alone this long. I wasn't so much angry now as I was upset, but hey, you know what they say, love stinks. I was wondering all this laying on my bed, with my feet on the wall.

I felt like I should be tired after the long day with Kate, but that was just one of the many flaws about being a vampire. Full energy, all the time. I sat up, and ran my hands through my soft brown hair. I got off of my bed and walked into the bathroom, and stared at myself in the mirror for a long time.

I ran my hands through my hair again, trying to mess it up a little. Nothing. I sighed loudly as my hair fell back into brown waves, slightly curly at the end of each lock.

I heard a knock at my door, and walked into my bedroom to answer it. It was surprisingly -Jane.

"Aro wants you." she said.

"Why?" I asked, faking surprise. Aro had wanted me about every 5 minutes.

She shrugged and turned around , motioning me to follow her. She led me to a new room I had never been in, it had gargantuan mahogany chairs around a large mahogany table. Seated at three of the chairs were, Aro, Caius, and Marcus. Shocker.

Jane left as fast as she had come, throwing a quick glare my way. I ignored her and walked up to the table. Aro stood up.

"Ah, Bella!" he greeted me. I nodded at him. I noticed that Caius had a scowl on his face, while Marcus seemed content, somewhat satisfied.

"So…. What do you need me for?" I asked.

"Well, we've decided-" Aro started, being interrupted by a snort from Caius. He narrowed his eyes and continued. "-Well, Marcus and I, that is, have decided that you are ready for your first mission." he finished with a grin.

I stiffened. What would they make me do? I voiced my thoughts,

"What do I have to do?" I asked nervously.

"Well, there is a newborn rebel causing suspicion just outside of Volterra. We want you to 'persuade' him to come to us." Aro said.

"What? How am I supposed to find him? I'm not a tracker, you know." I asked, trying to get out of it. If they killed it, I will not want any part in it.

" Oh don't worry Bella, You'll find him easily enough. He doesn't worry about being inconspicuous ." I could feel as my mouth formed an 'o' of realization. I nodded my head, and left the room. I surprisingly had no trouble finding my room. Once in there, I grabbed my cloak and ran, vampire-speed out of the castle, through the hallways, the elevator, and out into the tunnel. There I put on my cloak then continued running. The people didn't even see me as I sped past them.

Pretty soon after that I was where Aro said the newborn was- just outside of Volterra. Yes, I can definitely smell Vampire. His trail led to the woods. I followed the trail until I saw him, he was standing in the middle of a meadow. I took a deep breath, this brought back memories. He had blond hair, with bangs covering part of his eyes.

I walked out of the trees, to stand in front of him, facing him.

"Hello." I said, smiling. He immediately spun around, getting into a defensive crouch.

"Who are you?" he said in a husky voice.

" My name is Bella Swan. What's yours?" He straightened himself, and stood up.

"My name is Skye."

He must've smelled that I was a Vampire, because he wasn't attacking me…. Yet.

"That's a nice name." I mumbled.

"What do you want?" he asked, never breaking eye-contact with me.

"Oh, I'm just y'know, taking a walk…" I took a few steps towards him, and he took a few back.

"Oh come on, I won't hurt you. Come with me, it's OK." I said, trying to coax him. It seemed to work for a second, then he said,

"No." I sighed, I'll have to use my power. As soon as I closed my eyes, he ran off into the forest. I started after him, until I heard a blood-curdling crack, and 3 mini-van sized blocks of ice landed in front of me.

What?!
