Black Rose: Dusk

CHAPTER 2: SMILED

Jane took me to the Volturis, she remained silent until Caius came. Caius is one of the leaders of the Volturis. Caius Volturi scares me, his red fury eyes and long teeth makes me feel unsafe. Jane, Caius and Felix were staring at me from head to toe. I didn't know what was happening. Aro came in and was surprised why was I here, Marcus then came in and whispered to Jane about something. Jane then nodded her head, then she whispered to Felix. Then Jane came towards me, she doesn't seem like she wants to argue or anything. But she does seem confused about something. I wonder what Marcus told her?

"Allison, how have you been lately?" asked Jane while looking at me.

"Well, I guess I'm fine. But why are you asking me this? Is somthing wrong? I thought we had a deal. This better be important, I don't want to see all of you again." I told her furiously.

"Marcus had a scent few days ago, the scent of a dying vampire in the Volturi mansion. Blood was bleeding everywhere there. You should know, that a bleeding vampire leads them to being human once again. It wasn't ordinary blood, it was dark red, the symptoms of a vampire tranforming. You also should know that, the Volturis are a very large and powerful coven of vampires. A bleeding, transforming vampire could ruin the Volturis and leads us to danger, as the Avagon keeps and eye on us. Once the Avagon tracks down transforming vampires, it could just destroy all vampire clans. And the Volturis will be destroyed too. And we woudn't want the Avagons nor our nemesis, the Vocruxs to track us down, would you?" Jane stared at me as though she wants to kill me.

"So what does this have to do with me?" I wasn't really understanding the situation.

"The vampire is Damon Salvatore, Allison." Her pitch went higher.

My legs shivered for a while, my mind was lost, I was having questions in my mind. What? Why? How? "Da..Damon?"

Aro asked Jane what was happening. He was attending meetings and wars with the Vocruxs few months ago, so he left everything to Jane and Felix due to his absence in the Volturi mansion. Felix stepped forward and walked towards Jane and looked and me, then he smiled sarcastically "Why don't we tell Aro what happened, Jane. Allison was such a brave girl, it would be a waste if Aro missed such a fascinating story. Shall we, Jane?"

"WAIT!" I interrupted Felix. "Yes Allison?" Felix did it again, that sarcastic smile. "Take me to him, take me to Damon, please." I wanted to see Damon so badly. Jane remained silent and looked at Caius, Caius nodded. "Fine, Marcus, let her see Damon." I followed Marcus and was so nervous to see Damon, I did do something unforgivable to Damon, maybe I shouldn't see him, but I want to! It's been 1 month since I saw Damon, I thought he was dead, but to hear him being alive, I was so happy. Marcus said "This is where Damon Salvatore's resting for now. We can't dispose him until he has fully recovered. Don't try to do anything you're not supposed to, Allison. We don't trust you Carters. Seth, guard this door, keep an eye on her."

"Dispose! What do you mean dispose? You can't dispose a sick vampire! You can't dispose him!" I was really out of mind mind there. "Jane was going to get to the disposal part just now but you interrupted her with your love sick. We'll tell you later Allison Carter." The door was opened and I went in and saw Damon. Damon was bleeding everywhere, his hand was covered with bandages and he was sweating a lot, I went near him and I started crying.

"Damon? Damon.. What have I done..? I should have just killed myself.. " while I was crying and murmuring. I heard a voice. "Ahhh...! Ough! Arghh!"

"Damon! Damon! DAMON!" Someone!" Seth barged into the room and called for the Volturi doctors. After patching back his scars and wounds, he was back to resting. "Can I stay for a while?" Seth responded "For a while, just for a while"

"What have I done...Poor Damon..I'm so sorry..I really am!" I was sobbing even louder, tears came out and I was holding Damon tighter.

"Uhhh...! Who is it? It hurts! Get off me.."

"Damon! You're alright!" wiping my tears off.

"A...Allise? Is that you Allise? Is that really you?"

"Uh, yeah, it's me, Allise. Sorry to disturb you, I'm going out now." I was really ashamed to see Damon.

"No, wait! Allise! Ahh!" He was trying to get off his bed. "Damon!" I coudn't let him hurt himself, I'm responsible for his condition. I helped him get back into bed a just looked at him.

"It's been a month. Allise. Where have you been?" Damon started crying.

"I couldn't dare myself to come see you and your sister Denise. Denise hates me a lot, and.. I was told by the Volturis that you were dead, I assumed that because I did risk your life. I had never lived in peace ever since the battle. I can't forgive myself for letting you in. But what did you expect? The Volturis gave me a choice of risking you or the Avagons will hunt for the Volturis. I had to, I was forced, I really didn't want to harm you, I..." I started crying.

"I know. I am mad about you doing that. I was really angry, I punched stuff and hit things. But then, I realize, is it worth it being that mad about the girl you love? She must've had her own explanation, she ought'a be scared, she felt bad, why blame so much? I am alive right?"

"You're...not mad? But, I..What I did was terrible"

"Nope, maybe a little. But hey, how can I be mad at this pretty girl I'm looking at?" he giggled.

"You haven't changed a bit. But I still feel like I should repay you or something, at least get you out of this horrible place." I was starting to smile.

"Can't. I'm 'grounded' in this dungeon, the Volturis won't let me out."

"I have to get you out here"

"Carter! Time's up! I'm opening the door" I was panicking, I really wanted to get him out. Or I should talk to Jane about this. Damon pretended to sleep and I followed Seth out.

Jane, Marcus, Caius, Aro and Felix looked at me, I was pretending as though nothing happened, just plain sad and no urge to get him out. "Well, Allison, you should get going now, you wouldn't want to stay with us, do you?"

"Actually, I wanna ask you about the disposal thing, what's that?"

"Disposal? I see Marcus told you. Well, we can't let a transforming vampire stay around. The only way to make sure the Avagons don't know about this is to destroy his scent. It'll take too long for him to transform and the Volturi trackers are close and you don't think they won't be able to smell such powerful black blood do you?"

"Isn't there any other way?"

"Well, there is one more way." she said. "Tell me!" I was so eager

"You have to end his life. Let him drink the black rose water and, you, will have to bite him."

"Why me?"

"Because he loves you. According to the Horavon, he only trusts you. So he only will trust you in ending his life."

"Me? What!"

I was thinking, if I agreed, I could take Damon home and treat him and Julian and Clarisse can help him. Julian is a very powerful vampire, I'm sure he knows something.

"Well, we shall dispose him then" Jane thinking I won't do it.

"Fine, I'll do it." I answered her. Caius and Marcus were looking at me like I was possesed or something. Felix and Aro were smiling sarcastically at me. Jane was just telling me "Fine. We need Julian Carter here for the confirmations, don't regret Allison."

I can really smile now.
