Chapter 2 - Awakening
"Are you ready to die?"
Who's bothering my sleep? I hate when I get woken up from a good nap. Why was I in total blackness again? Oh that's right a vampire was drinking me.
"Do you want to die?" The voice persisted.
I could always use some more time I guess. If this is god then I have to say I'm disappointed.
"I am Esmeralda, I will help you awaken what you truly are"
Yeah and I bet you're some demon that's here to make a deal for my soul.
"You already have the power, I will only awaken it. Now wake up my little demi-demon"
The darkness faded and I was back in the throne room of those vampires. I was on the ground now and Jane had moved to my arm that she now held in her mouth. Alec stood behind her.
"Jane it's been far too long for their to even be a drop left. His heart stopped long ago"
Then how am I looking at them now. Oh god everything hurts right now! Jane looks like she's gone crazy or something.
"He needs to be disposed of with the others and Aro is waiting for us"
Jane ignored her brothers pleas as she sucked on my arm. I wish she would just let go already!
Jane suddenly jerked back and shrieked in pain.
"Sister!" Alec checked her over while she writhed in pain but could find nothing "Help!"
Aro and several others entered the room and all had a shocked face at the sight of Jane.
"How is she being effected by her own gift"
"The boy still lives" Aro said looking to me.
Alec glanced at me and back to his master "Impossible. His heart stopped beating an hour ago"
Well I guess now's a good time to try to move. I heard a collective gasp as I rose slowly rose to my feet. I felt great pain shoot though my body and I dropped to one knee.
"How can this be. Jane drained every drop of him"
"Felix, Afton, help young Jason to his feet" Aro ordered.
The angry blonde man from earlier came in shouting "What is all of this ruckus!?"
Felix and Afton actually gently supported me so I could stand. I've never been sick but I imagine that this is what death felt like. I wonder if that voice in my head was real or not.
'Jason you must drink what I bring you'
"Who's said that?" I ask but the vampires looked confused.
There was a scratching sound from the double doors that I had come in earlier.
'Have them let me in'
"What the fuck Luna!?"
The vamps gave me odd looks I could swear I hear one say "Maybe Jane just killed his brain"
"Eh can one of you let my dog in?"
Aro nodded to Demetri and said man or I guess vampire, opened the door. Luna ran to me holding a packet of blood in her mouth.
When she dropped the packet at my feet I felt almost pulled to it. Faster then I knew I could move, the packet was in my mouth and the cold liquid gushed down my throat. Every bit of pain in my body vanished.
"What are you!?" I looked up to see Aro with a look of both fear and amazement. I didn't know why but I felt powerful.
"I am sorry Jane" I said to the girl as she suddenly stopped screaming. I did feel bad about what I did to her but she did sort of kill me.
I cracked my knuckles and neck and felt like a new person. I looked at my reflection in the polished floor and noticed that my blue eyes almost had a glow to them and I grew long, very sharp fangs
I was brought out of my thoughts by being tackled. To my surprise it was Jane, and she looked very angry. I was once again pinned to a wall with her hand around my neck.
"How dare you!"
"I did say sorry you know"
She growled and squeezed my neck. I am not liking this day at all.
"Jane could you not do that?"
She looked back at Aro, growled at me and then flew away from me to stand at her brother's side.
Aro stepped towards me and I took notice to a girl holding the back of his robe.
"Jason, would you really like to apologize to our dear Jane?"
Oh great. Now he wanted something.
"She tried to kill me so I'd say we're even"
He chuckled at me but didn't seem deterred.
"You could save many lives and aid in ending very dangerous vampires"
More then what's in the room you mean. How the hell was my mother involved with these people?
'She wasn't. That necklace belonged to a friend of hers'
Okay Luna this is kinda weird with you in my head and everything but I guess it's understandable that you would know things about my mom since she's the one who gave you to me.
"Caius, we wont be leaving after all"
The blonde haired man looked like he wanted to slap Aro.
"Surely you jest. This thing is a threat that must be destroyed"
"Hey I have ears you know!" Rude bastards.
"My apologies Jason but we require someone with your talents"
Oh great I get to be a dark knight. It might be more interesting then other things I get to do.
"Give me more information and I might help"
Aro smiled like he just won something. 'In his eyes he just did' Luna let we may get some info from them or even find out some things about what happened to me. 'Alright'
"The ones who attacked Jane have a man in their coven who can make himself and others travel unnoticed. All you have to do is point them out until we can find that one and Jane will stop him"
"You want me to go with him!?" She roared angrily before realizing who she was talking too "I am sorry master but something about him seems to anger me"
"The feeling mutual"
Several of them chuckled at us and Aro got that look again that just creped me out.
