Disclaimer: hey people, thank you for the ones who reviewed, Just a quick note. I like the idea of Marcus showing a little more emotion then he usually does, I made his personality a little different then what it was, I hope you don't mind. I also decided on a whim that Rayne would be Demetri's mate. It's gonna come in handy later. I own nothing twilight related except Rayne, she's my own creation. All credit goes to the great authoress Stephanie Meyer and her genius brain.
Forks
"What do the Volturi expect us to do with her?" Rose said. Her voice was full of frustration. After a day of worry, they had all decided to meet back home.
"I'm not sure yet," Alice said. Her face was easy to read. It was full with worry. The whole room was filled with it, with no help from Jasper.
"Well we won't know until they get here. Luckily we know exactly when they'll arrive" as Edward said this everyone looked at Alice. Looking very cross, she jumped up and ran upstairs. Jasper got up without saying a word and went upstairs to try and get Alice to talk.
"You don't need to put so much pressure on Alice like that" Bella said. "It's probably really hard for her right now"
"You right, but we need to know, the only person who can tell us is Alice" Edward said shaking his head. "I just hope that nothing is going to go wrong"
"No one wants that either" Emmett said staring out the window.
Volterra, Italy
"Come on Rayne, we're leaving" Demetri came into Rayne's room. Rayne sat on the edge of her bed, as Demetri walked into the room, she didn't bother to look up.
"Rayne don't you dare make this harder than it has to be." Demetri said closing the space between them. He grabbed her and pulled her to her feet. "Look at me"
As he said this, Rayne lifted her eyes and stared at her mate. "You can't do anything; Marcus has made up his mind. For once in his life he's actually decided to pay attention to something, he choose me to take all of his new found anger out on. And I don't know why" she looked down again.
"I don't have a clue either. You should be able to tell better than anyone else." Demetri took both of his hands and put them on either side of her face."But I do know that while you're with the Cullens, I will be too"
"But you can't you have to come back to Italy, come back here" Rayne said. There was a great amount of pain in her voice. "The Volturi need you." She looked away. Her voice was filled with anger.
"I'll stay in the surrounding area of forks. No one will see me." Demetri let go of Rayne's face. He pulled her into a rib crushing hug. "I'll be there hidden; but still there." He let go and grabbed her hand.
"Let's leave now, Felix will come back with an answer from Carlisle, and I will stay with you" Demetri pulled Rayne to the door. Rayne looked back at her old room, grabbed her bag from the floor, and closed the door behind her not taking a second glance.
To Forks
Then plane ride from Rome to Seattle was painless. The drive from Seattle to Forks was gut wrenching. Rayne looked out the window from the back seat of the car. All she saw, as they got closer and closer to Forks, were trees among trees. Felix kept driving. The car went through the small town of forks in seconds.
"It's not very big is it" Rayne said quietly.
"No it's not" Demetri said.
Felix drove the car down a winding road out of Forks. Soon Rayne spotted a break in the forest. "The driveway to my personal hell" Rayne thought. As Felix turned into the Cullen's driveway.
As soon a Felix parked the car, six vampires came out of the house. Attached to Edward Cullen was the human she had seen in Volterra, the cause of all Edward Cullen's problems. Rayne didn't know what to think of the fragile human. She was small, and her skin was almost as pale as the rest of the vampires. Bella could almost pass as one of them, almost. It was her sent that gave her away. She had only seen Bella once, but only briefly. Now she knew why that tracker James wanted her so bad, along with Edward. The sent would drive any vampire insane. But Rayne wasn't bothered by the scent. She could tell out of the Cullens who were.
She briefly looked over everyone's minds. She saw what they could do. Especially the big one, Emmett. She had met Alice Cullen only once. The pixie like vampire stood next to Jasper. Rose was very pretty; her blonde hair slightly blew in the breeze. Carlisle was standing closest to Felix and Demetri. His mate Esme was close to him. They were a different group, much like the Denali clan in Alaska. But this clan of vampires were much different. She could see that if anyone attacked the human, Bella, that she would be defended. Edward was very fond of her. He would kill for her, and he had.
Carlisle looked directly at Rayne, when he spoke. "Welcome to our home, I'm Carlisle, and this is my family." He was very sincere as he said this. Rayne notice that very one was waiting for her to say something. She looked at Edward and their eyes locked.
"So you can read minds as well." Edward thought.
"Yes, but I am different from you" Rayne thought
"How so?" he was truly curious.
"I found the last time you came to Volterra, that you could read many minds but unlike I am like Aro, I can find out anything that they've ever thought. I don't have to touch them." Rayne was also curious." Why is it that you protect this human?"
"I am in love with her, isn't that enough" Edward gave Rayne a cross look.
"You've fought for her; does that make her your mate?"
"In a way yes"
"When do you plan on changing her?"
"I don't want to; I want her to stay human"
"That seems silly to me" Rayne said. Edward scowled and turned away from her.
"Can we finish talking later then, I'm very…curious about the whole subject?" Rayne was still looking at Edward, when she said this out loud. Without looking at her, her nodded once. The rest of the Cullens. Along with Demetri, Felix and Jane.
"Carlisle, I have a message from Marcus for you." Demetri said stepping forward. He took out the letter from Marcus and handed it to Carlisle. Carlisle stepped forward and took the letter. He opened it and read it quickly. Rayne didn't bother to read what it said. She knew it by heart as soon as it was sealed by Marcus:
Carlisle,
Rayne is coming to stay in forks, I want her to learn your ways, everything. Make sure she is fit to be sent back here. She is unruly and wild, and needs to be taught some manners. Use brute force if need be. I'm sure Emmett will be glad to help there. Send me a reply if you agree to these conditions. My guard will wait there until you reply to this.
Marcus
"I will have my reply ready. If you wish you can stay here until morning and leave then" Carlisle said rereading the letter. He looked up at Demetri. Demetri nodded and Carlisle turned his attention to Rayne.
"Alice and Rosalie will show you around. I need a word with Demetri and Felix" As Carlisle said this, Alice and Rose nodded. Alice held out a hand, and waved for Rayne to follow. As Rayne went up the step, everyone cleared a way for her. Getting annoyed, she spun around and glared at the Cullens.
"I'm not a disease, so don't treat me like one" She hissed. At that moment the phrase "If looks could kill" ran through Bella's mind. Not bothering to apologize, Rayne took off after Alice. The rest of the group followed at a safe distance. They weren't really sure what was just thrown at them, but they were about to find out.
Disclaimer: I hope you liked this chapter. It's a little bit longer than the others. I'll start the next one as soon as I can.
