Sorry for the cliffy last time!

Thank you for all the reviews!

I don't own Twilight

OK. Enjoy!

Previously:

I had no idea where the Volturi were, but I knew they would find me and come. I mean, how many people a day, or even a thousand years, do you see walking into your old city with inhuman beauty and no skin exposed in the beginning of a still hot autumn??

I wandered aimlessly until I saw a shadow flicker next to the clock tower. I took a step forward, breathed in, and walked towards my fate.

No words could truly describe how ecstatic I was at the moment that I had lost the ability to blush and trip.

Because if I were still human, I know that my coordination would have failed me at the moment.

I took one last breath and crossed into the shadow. Crossing the line gave me a strange feeling that it was more than just crossing something physical, but as if I were condemned to something after I did. I shook my head. I was just nervous, that was all.

A hooded figure waited for me there. He extended one long, pale, muscled (obviously) arm and motioned for me to follow him.

He led me to a drain, or so I thought it was a drain, until he removed the bars. Underneath was a dark corridor, and he jumped in. I followed in suit, and I followed him into a more modern hallway.

He led me directly to a large tower room, old and somehow regal. About thirty or so vampires were standing or sitting casually in the room.

One ageless vampire with shocking white hair stood up from his high chair, probably a throne, and walked over and hugged me.

This enemy-to-be that I didn't even know just hugged me.

"Ah, you have finally come. Clarisa said you would. I'm so delighted. You have kept us waiting long time."

"Um...I'm sorry," I said nervously, and worriedly, not knowing the extent of how much they knew about me.

"Oh, it's quite alright. What's your power? How did you become one of us? What is your name? Clarisa can only see her future, and only the pictures of the people in it, and I'm curious about you," he explained.

"Well, my name is Lucky Rogers, and I was changed when a vampire didn't finish his 'meal.' Well, I have lived with a coven, but I decided to come here. Mw power is to make people like me." It was the truth, just distorted. Laurent hadn't finished his meal, he was killed, and I had lied with the coven before the change.

"Ah, that's very nice. I can already feel your power taking effect. Well, I hope we shall come to know each other well. In the meantime, show her to her room."

The hooded person walked back to me, not once taking off his hood.

Wordlessly, I followed him through the labyrinth halls down to huge wooden double doors.

The room was breathtaking. It was one of those rooms you would find in a president suite of those New York hotels.

I sat down on the unneeded bed, and discovered that the hooded man had already left.

This would be the perfect time for a shower.

So I took one.

I needed to find more about the Volturi, stop them if I could, before time ran out. And right now, considering the number of vampires there were and the way I was stuck here, the chances of that didn't look so great.

I heard a knock on the door and went to answer it.

It was a human girl, to my surprise.

"Hey, my name is Gianna. I am the receptionist just down the hallway, so I would just like to say that if you need anything, just call me on the buzzer over there, 'kay?"

"Of course," I replied, thoroughly surprised. Did she not know that she was in the presence of vampires? Did she not feel scared?

She left, and I sat down on the king-sized bed and started thinking, my way of sleep.

In about an hour, a buzzing sound suddenly "awoke" me.

I pressed the button, and I heard Aro's voice.

"Lucky! It's time. I'm sure you have been waiting for a long time now. Come to the main chamber again. Gianna will lead you."

Time for what? I wanted to ask, but he had already hung up.

I saw Gianna at the door and followed her back to the main room.

I was surprised to see that tourists were also entering the room. I didn't know that Aro had made his castle a vacation resort. I was probably he supported the Volturi and provided such lavish rooms.

I smiled and greeted the tourists. They were friendly and excited about seeing this huge medieval castle, and I was lonely since I had left Jacob.

I followed them in, wondering what Aro was going to show them.

"Welcome, welcome! Everybody, come in here now! This is the next part of the tour!" Aro happily called to them. Too happily.

And then it hit me. What was happening. But by then it was too late.

With a concluding action, two vampires shut the doors. Tight. And locked them. There was no escape.

Gianna had left already. She wasn't in here.

Suddenly, every eye, excluding mine, turned black.

I closed my eyes, but it was too horrible.

That's when the screaming started. I had to open my eyes. I had to stop this.

"Stop! Stop!" My voice was puny compared to the havoc here.

Aro threw a woman at me, and he grabbed an old man and started to bite.

"No! Aro, no!" I screamed, but I knew it was useless.

The woman was terrified of me.

"You will make it out of here alive," I promised her. Her eyes were still wide in shock. "You just have to trust me."

No one would notice; too much was going on here.

I grabbed the woman and searched for an escape. All the doors were barred, but there was a window, actually more of a slit, that was a good fifty feet off the ground.

Time to use my vampire skills, I thought.

I jumped up and took the woman with me. Her eyes were closed with fear, still not believing that she would survive.

The window led to a dark alley. I never noticed; the sun wasn't shining anymore. It was twilight.

"Now, I want you to run off and go back home and pretend nothing happened, okay? Because if you tell someone, they will get killed, too." I instructed.

She turned to go, but turned around at last minute and opened her mouth. "Thank you," she croaked out hoarsely.

"You're welcome," I replied as I watched her walk off into the distance, back to her home, where people loved her…

"That was sweet," a dark voice suddenly said beside me.

I turned around to face the intruder. And I gasped.

Oooohhhh, another cliffy!

Review quickly, and I'll write quickly!

Just press the go!
