Chapter 5 An Uncertain Future
Julianne finally spoke, "Alexis you don't have to do this!"
Alexis who still had tears running down her face looked at Julianne. "I don't want to watch you die a slow and painful death in front of my eyes Julianne! Your more than just a friend to me you're like my sister! This is the only way and it's my fault that I agreed to come to Volterra in the first place!"
"No, it's mine for not trusting your vision and..."Julianne stopped short. Alexis had suddenly closed her eyes. What would appear to most people as Alexis being in deep thought was Alexis having a vision. What was she seeing? Aro had immediately realized what must be happening and laid his hand on Alexis's shoulder.
Alexis every now and then would see a series of events. This would only happen when things about the future were uncertain. Her visions always seemed to happen unexpectedly. She saw her and Julianne walking back to the hotel flanked by three vampires whose faces were obscured, Jules screaming in pain in an alleyway, another vampire with his face in darkness trying to kiss her, an object flying into Julianne's hand, herself with red eyes, and the most disturbing and weird image, her and Julianne with gold eyes and a girl with pixie like hair and similar gold eyes saying everything was okay.
As Alexis opened her eyes Aro removed his hand from Alexis's shoulder. "Hmm this makes things a lot more interesting based on what I just saw through your thoughts. My brothers and I need to discuss a few matters privately before we change you. I also need to talk to Demetri. Felix I want you to come along as well. Jane you stay here with Heidi and if they do anything suspicious or try to flee you know what to do.
"Yes, Master." Jane said giving Alexis and Julianne both an evil look. Before they left the room Caius, the blond vampire said, "What's the meaning of all this Aro!"
Aro grinned, " I just saw some VERY interesting things regarding Alexis's and Julianne's futures "
"Hmph" Caius said glaring at Alexis as he left the chamber with Marcus and Aro. Felix let go of Julianne and left Julianne and Alexis alone with Heidi and Jane. Alexis raced over and hugged Julianne. Julianne after about a minute pulled herself out of the hug and said "You have to tell me what you saw!"
Alexis sighed glancing at Heidi and Jane. "I'll say this much. We were both alive in all of the visions, but something strange I believe is going to happen to both of us, but I can't tell what exactly. Oh, Jules I'm SO scared."
"Don't worry Alexis, everything will be fine." Julianne wasn't entirely sure how accurate this statement was but she needed to remain strong for Alexis's sake to not get her more scared than what she already was. Even though Julianne rarely got scared or worried she was very worried about what would happen to both of them.
After about a half an hour of waiting Aro, Marcus, Caius and Felix came back into the chamber accompanied by the vampire who must be Demetri. Demetri was tall and lean and had an olive complexion. There was another male vampire to the side of him that looked a lot like Jane. Alexis assumed he had to be her brother. He had a similar physical appearance and dark brown hair. He also looked about the same age. Aro looked at Alexis and said, "Alexis my dear, Demetri, Felix, and Alec here will escort your friend back to your hotel and you can say your final goodbye to her and then we can discuss your transformation."
Alexis and Julianne both looked at each. Alexis did not trust Aro. Would he really see to it that her friend made it back to the hotel all right? What if they tried to escape? Alexis frowned. There was no way they could escape. They would be outnumbered 3 to 2 by vampires with strength far superior to their own. Julianne was also worried. Why had Aro gone from being very interested in what he saw in Alexis's vision to being so mellow? Alexis was the first one to speak, "Fine!" "Can I trust you?" She said looking at Aro.
"Of course!" Aro said flashing a smile that showed his sharp white teeth again.
Even though Alexis and Julianne knew arguing with these vampires was useless they both were extremely concerned about what was going to happen to both of them.
I'm sorry it took me over a week to update! I had a MAJOR final paper due on the 28th that took me longer than expected. I only had two people review my last chapter compared to four in chapter 3! The more reviews I get this time for Chapters 5 and 6 (which I'll also post today)the quicker I'll update the story! The majority of the things Alexis sees in her vision is foreshadowing of things to come in the story/and possible sequels with Alexis and Julianne. I made the things she saw relatively vague for you to come to your own conclusions of what's going to happen! By the way I thought the Eclipse trailer was AWESOME! I can't wait until the 30th! One more thing I tried to break up the dialogue when different characters speak a little bit more than I did last time.
