I DON'T OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA! SM DOES AND I JUST PLAY IN HER WORLD!
Chapter 14: Mission
Melony POV
I dressed in a red spaghetti strap dress. It was sexy and I would have loved to have worn it. That is, if it had been for another reason.
Aro was sending me on my first mission. I was to get all prettied up to get some humans to go on tour with me. I was perfect for the job since I was young, pretty, and wouldn't sparkle in the sun. Instead, I would glow which would make my appearance more "appealing, sexy, mysterious", to quote Aro.
As I looked in the mirror, I realized this would be easy. I was wearing light make-up that complimented my appearance. I had lip gloss on the same shade of my lips. My hair was now wavy instead of straight down my back so it stopped directly above my shoulders--only a few parts went past.
However, as I looked into the mirror, I also realized I was bringing anyone who came with me to their death. That made me feel ugly, not pretty.
I looked away, and sighed, walking out of the room.
It had been fairly easy to gather up a crowd. I don't believe even Heidi had this luck.
Many teenage boys followed me, as well as other older men. The women were more releuctant, but when I added in you would get to see the full castle, they complied. They were suckers for history.
I had decided beforehand that if I had to do this, I was going to do it right. I may as well play the part. I was as seductive as possible, as well as convincing. I played the part well, if I do say so myself. I knew I would feel bad about it later, but if it meant Aro getting off my back it was worth it.
What I hadn't been expecting was a little boy with blond hair and green eyes to come up to me. He was so cute.
"Here you go, miss," he said. I would guess he was about four. "I picked this for you from the garden out front because I think you're pretty."
I now didn't feel bad or guilty. My heart was wrenching in pain.
I swallowed it down and faked a smile for him, taking the rose clutched in his fist.
"Thank you," I choked out.
He beamed at me.
Then Demetri came out, looking at the boy curiously.
"Where's your mommy, little boy?" he said softly. His voice had a hard edge to it, though.
The little boy shrugged sheepishly. "I walked away from her to give the pretty lady a rose."
As Demetri led the boy back to the line, I hurriedly walked back to my room with the rose in hand.
I heard the screams from my room-- the ones of the people I led to their deaths. I thought I even heard the scream of the little boy. I sobbed and cried. Hard. It's one thing to lead people to their deaths when you're acting, but when you're back in your own mind, it's more difficult. You realize you killed all those people, even if not by your own hand. I made up my mind that night.
I would have to escape. Tonight.
Sorry about the long update again, and the shortness of it. The next chapter should be longer, actually. Promise. I'll make it as long as I can. I'm not sure how chapters are left, but I'm going to try and update as fast as possible now. I'm working on every chapter right after the last. I'll be alternating between Midnight and this. When I update Midnight you can expect an update on this the next day or the same day. I'm trying. Really, I am, but even though it's almost the end of the year, my teachers are still giving projects and homework. I swear they're all evil. *mumbles more to herself*
Also, Sorry about any misspellings. FF's spell chacker is NOT working. Stupid spell checker. *mumbles once again*
