Chapter 8-The mind of a Vampire

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Max POV

"So how exactly are we gonna get to these vamps?" I asked. "I know we can't just waltz right in, and I'm pretty sure they won't be happy about us coming."

Aro glanced at Jane and Alec. "You remeber the sewers you came in through, don't you Maximum?"

Oh God no. "..Yeah..."

"You go through there. But first you must get to Tirrenia first. Fear not though, Alec and Jane know the quickest route. You should get to the sewers by around midnight. It might be diffucult for you to see though." He warned.

"That won't be a problem they are more powerful than you think," Elena hissed, a flick of light in her abnoramly green eyes. Aro shrugged. "Very well then." He nodded at Demetri and Felix, and they both left the room.

"...Okay," I said tense. "Um..thanks. I'll send Nikkie your regaurds or..whatever." He smiled. "Goodbye young friends." I grinned smugly and as I turned I rolled my eyes. "Remind me never to come back to Italy after this," I growled at Fang. "Remind me to never leave our country," He replied.

We walked down an unfamiler hallway, Jane and Alec leading us, Flock and Bloodhounds in the middle, Cullen's and wolves behind. Many people, tourist it looked like, past by us snapping pictures looking like they enjoied being in a home full of vampires. Wait a sec...that didn't sound right...

I glanced down at Angel, who had a horrified look on her face. "Angel," I asked surprised. "What's wrong Sweetie?" She had tears in her eyes now. "T-T-They," She chocked out. "Welcome everyone! Welcome to Volterra!" Aro boomed from the end of the hallway. I looked to the other side of the hallway, and saw Demetri and Felix shutting the big wooden doors the humans had came in with smirks on their faces. My eyes had never got so wide.

"Fang, we have to go," I said grabbing Nudge's hand as well. He took Gazzy's and tapped Iggy's, and looked at me strange. I couldn't help these people. I couldn't stop these vampires from killing all these inocent humans. I ran to catch up with the twins, but it didn't seem fast enough.

We crossed through another door, but as soon as it was shut the bloody murder screams started.

Angel cried in my arms softly. Nudge held my hand and sniffled. I glanced at the Cullen's and saw Esme with the most broken and helpless face I had ever seen.

We didn't want to go with two of the Volturi's member's on a death wish, which is what it looked like. But we had no choice.

'Just go get Nikkie and get out.' Voice told me. 'That's all you have to do.'

'Does that mean I have to sit by and let all those people die painful deaths?'

'None of them died in pain Maximum,' It said. 'Only fear.'

'Just as bad.' I replied softly.

I looked at Elena and Ysabelle. Elena was shaking her head, closed eyes speaking in Italian, leaning against Embry's shoulder.

"Rimetti a noi i nostri debiti, come noi li rimettiamo ai nostri debitori," She whispered. Ysabelle nodded. "E non ci indurre in tentazione, ma liberaci dal male."

"Amen," Esme said softly, holding a tight grip on Carlisle. She was glaring at Jane and Alec now, like she wanted to rip their heads off. I had seen an angry mother. They were capable of a lot of stuff that sereal killers couldn't compare. I hadn't seen an angry vampire mother...I shuttered.

We continued to walk out of the huge castle until we got to the streets. The sun was setting beautifuly now, but there was no way I would try to enjoy it. Mathamatically impossible. Not many people were out. A man with a dark brown hat on, glasses and a casual suit walked by us, his head down as he stared at the vampires that the sunset could not compare to. He shuttered as he brushed Alice's shoulder.

I sighed. "Okay, can I say something?" Alec and Jane shared a glance, then Jane nodded. "I know that you two hate having to do this. You just want to get Nikkie back like the rest of us. Completly understandable. So my suggestion is that you both tell us the quickest and most painless way to get to those...whatever they are's."

Alec stiffled a laugh. "Are you threating us?" I shrugged. "No. I said suggestion." He shrugged with a smile. "Fair enough...alright, the quickest way to get to Terrenia is to run in a vampires case. In your case, it would be flying."

"We know all the places that we can't get caught and go the fastest without stopping," Jane added. "The others, don't."

"How is that?" Seth asked.

"A lot of free time," Alec replied. "All you basically have to do is follow us. That would be quick and painless."

I narrowed my eyes at him, and looked at everyone else. "Sound good?" They all nodded.

Like I said before, I didn't have time to enjoy senery here. However, I realized that Volterra grew on you at nights. Everything seemed at peace, and silent where we were. It almost made me let my gaurd down. Maybe that's why the Volturi was here. Everyone seemed so at ease, no one would expect vampires to be here.

"You okay?" Fang asked softly, swooping beside me. I nodded at him. "Never better," He chuckled. "Tired?" I shook my head. "Your acting a little different..."

"It was those people, that's all." I confessed. He nodded. "It was awful, I know." I sighed. "I just felt so...helpless, you know?"

"Your not helpless in any way Max," He told me. "You know that." I smiled. "Thanks,"

"Don't start swappin' feathers up here, we're almost there," Iggy said laughing. I narrowed my eyes at him. "She's glaring at me, ain't she?"

"Yup," We all answered.

I checked my phone a few minuets later. Eleven fifty nine. A few seconds later, everyone on the ground stopped running, and we all swooped down. Yup, Aro had been right. I was looking down at a manhole, and my phone made a ding sound. Midnight.

Maddalena POV

Midnight. The witching hour.

I spent most midnights outside the sewers. It gave me peace of mind and time to think. I was supposed to be on guard duty, but there wasn't much to guard. Just a manhole. Well I guess it wasn't just a manhole. It was a secret entrence to where my people were. But no one knew about it exept for Draco and I.

I sat on a roof top, my legs swinging idly, my head on my propped arm. 'So boring,' I thought. It reminded me of that girl, Nikkie. She must think like this all the time in that cell. Joanna had read her past. She told me she was changed at fourteen, and had no living family. She did however, have a mate and a coven she called her own.

She was the leader of that coven. One of our fortune tellers, Navarah, said that if she ever got away from us that her coven would grow in numbers. She could not see how many though.

So that meant there would be more half breeds. More werewolves, more vampires. I wondered if-

'Maddalena!' Draco's voice boomed through my head ringing my ears. 'Yes, Draco?' I replied. 'Where are you? You were supposed to be back here ten minuets ago!'

'I lost track of time, forgive me,' I sighed as I jumped down from the building. 'I'm come..'

I dashed into the shadows and watched as a few figures came into the area around the manhole. I looked closer. "The witch twins," I hissed. A few people followed them. They were not of the Volturi..

Without warning six other figures flew down from the pitch black sky with grace and poise that matched my own. But they were not Lessers...they were not vampires..

They had bird wings. Complete with feathers.

I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand as I crouched down lower. What were they?!

"So this is it?" A girl with blond/brown hair asked as she pulled her wings in. Jane nodded. "We have to hurry though. This place is probably crawling with guards." One by one, they all jumped in. I hissed loudly as the last one jumped in. My wings spread widly in red hot furry.

My wings were a deep, dark Crimson that matched my Ruby eyes. The spikes on the ends were sharp and black. It only took one push to get air born. My white hair wipped my face as I flew at my highest speed. It wasn't long before I got to our second entrance, a few miles away.

Corbin, a mind reader, took this post tonight. He walked out of the forest shadows, his dark hair blending in with his surroundings. "Madem-"

"Avere il cazzo in aria," I hissed as I jumped into the pile of leaves that covered up the sewer entrence. I fell about five seconds that went by quickly, and I hit rock bottem. My knees absorbed the impact as I litterly flew down the wide hallway.

Why are you doing this? I asked myself. You hate Draco.

But he is your brother.

But a brother that made you this monster, he is.

But still-

Your immortaly damned because of him. Forever on this Earth, never going to a better world. Always to suffer.

I have a daughter because of him.

Who is also forever on this Earth as a small child.

...True. But I have a duty to my people-

They are not your people. They are your brothers. You take orders form him, and give them out.

You've seen more tragity than he has sun rises.

...Also true.

"Maddalena?" I shook my head and looked before me. Draco stood there, his face forever burned and scarred by what the Bloodhounds did. His Ego had also been damaged, but I didn't really mind.

"..Yes?" I asked. He sighed. "Don't play stupid, what is it?"

The Volturi will kill him.

But they will also kill your daughter.

They'll kill you. You've done nothing wrong. Ever.

Draco shook me harshly. "What is it?!" I pulled away, and smiled smugly.

"Nothing Draco. Nothing."

Alrighty, so you have now learned two of Maddalena's powers. She can block her scent. She can talk to her brother through his brain waves. She's not a mind reader though. She can only talk, and then someone has to talk back for her to hear anything. Original, eh? By the way, as her 'daughter' she was talking about Joanna. Well I guess that doesn't make her a mind reader...but anyways, your probably wondering what all those words were that Elena, Ysabelle and Maddalena were saying:

Maddalena:

"Avere il cazzo in aria,"

To be pissed off.

Elena:

"Rimetti a noi i nostri debiti, come noi li rimettiamo ai nostri debitori,"

"And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us."

Ysabelle:

"E non ci indurre in tentazione, ma liberaci dal male."

"And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil."

Sound familer? Haha, ya I just looked up 'Italian Prayers' on Google. I wanted to put something sweet and a little sad in there, so no killing me for it! *Put's phone in front of face as shield* Okay, well see ya soon! Please review:P
