I wish I owned Twilight… But I don't… Stephenie Meyer does.

Alright… This will focus on the Volturi… The rules of being a Vampire… and well… Edwards decision obviously. It will probably be a short Chapter…

Please Review!

Chapter Four: Red or Gold

''I hope he decides to follow in my steps, well, it is his decision..." I felt a twinge of guilt as I heard Carlisle's thought. He did, after all, save me, but at the same time I was curious about feeding off of humans. Carlisle saw me flinch as he realized I heard his train of thought. He looked at me sadly. "I'm sorry Edward, well, if you decide to hunt humans instead of animals, firstly we will not be able to travel together, I cannot risk familiarity here, and cannot be associated with the murders." I understood his reasoning, he continued in his thoughts.

"If you decide to hunt humans, you have to make sure to properly dispose of the corpse," He flinched, "and make sure you attract no attention, if you do, it is prudent to move on elsewhere before risking being revealed. The Volturi, the coven in Italy, are sort of like vampire royalty, they've been here for thousands of years, if a vampire gets out of line, and are about to expose us for what we are, the Volturi destroy them. The only real rule is to keep our true natures hidden. There is not much story behind this, but now you may make your decision knowing both options."

Even though I was simply listening to Carlisle's thoughts, I could hear the sadness in his thoughts wondering if I would abandon him. I smiled cunningly and said "So when do I learn to hunt Carlisle?" He looked up in surprise and he seemed to glow with joy. "Would you like to learn now son?" He thought of me as his son, and he seemed to care for me as a father should, although I did love my father, he did not have Carlisle's compassion, and Carlisle would be my new father now.

"I hope Edward will think of me as his friend, and father figure…" I grinned at Carlisle. "Of course I will father."

Like I said… Short, it was just Edward agreeing to follow Carlisle. Although it's a short chapter, I think it's a really important one showing how easily the bond between Carlisle and Edward is created. And now what happens next! -Gasp-!
