Voila!
A shinny new chapter for you all! =D
Ok so two things first,
A) What the hell is up with these rumors I've been hearing? I read in a magazine yesterday that the script for New Moon has a semi-different ending. That Edward won't be proposing to Bella. He will be giving her a different ultimatum. What the fuck is up with that?! And what could this other ultimatum be? O.o
If that happens I'll be severely pissed. He has to propose… That's just how the story goes! I know they have to change it up a bit because that's just what happens when they change it from book to film….BUT STILL! Edward just has to propose to Bella at the end of New Moon.
B) I have an idea for a 'Smallville' fan fiction and I want to know if anyone thinks it would be a good idea and if you think anyone would read it.
It would be in Lois Lane's POV and would be right after Season 8 ends. It would be my view of what happens after she accidentally puts on the legion time warp ring.
She would be sent 1000 years into the future to find Metropolis barren and abandoned.
But one of Smallville's leading ladies will find her there and explain what happened.
Will Lois be determined and strong enough to go back and change the course of history and stop the horrible future that Zod has created?
Any thoughts?
Anyways, enough of my rant and new idea, here's what you've all come to read:
Lights! Camera! …Read!
I pulled up one of the sheets against me and wrapped it around myself as I stood up.
I walked over to the closet quietly as to not wake up Edward.
Damn.
Edward wasn't kidding when he said it looked like Alice had bought a whole store.
The closet was about half the size of the room with rows and rows of designer clothing for Edward and me.
I shook my head as I rummaged through a dresser in search for some comfortable clothes.
I found a blue silk baby doll and matching boy shorts.
I slipped them on and walked back over to the bed where Edward lay, still sound asleep.
The peaceful smile on his face took my breath away.
The sheets over him were riding down and were now just under his pelvic bone.
Despite the gorgeous view I had of him, I pulled up the sheets so that they lay just under his chin.
He stirred a bit and I stiffened.
I was afraid I might have woken him up.
"Don't worry, Bella." I heard Alice whisper from downstairs. "He won't wake up until tomorrow afternoon. You really tired him out earlier!"
I heard Jasper and Emmett snickering.
I growled just loud enough for them to hear, and low enough that Edward wouldn't.
I still wasn't all too comfortable with the rest of the family knowing and hearing Edward and I having sex.
It's not something I consciously like to share with anyone else.
But after that amazing shower we shared, we just couldn't help but finish what we started.
We were so wrapped up in each other that we didn't even notice all the cat calls, "Damn they're loud" and "They might one day put Rosalie and Emmett to shame" comments that had come from downstairs.
I sighed and walked over to my computer desk where I last left my tote bag.
I unsheathed the journal and started the next entry.
May 27th 236 AD
The Volturi.
That is the name Aro has chosen for all of us, my maiden name and of course his last.
Aro, Caius, and Marcus serve as the rulers.
They have control and authority now.
Most of the army that aided in destroying the Romanians has taken the name as their own.
They take pride in it, to share the name of their leaders, commanders.
It gives them power over others.
They feel superior.
I worry for them sometimes.
They will be so easily controlled…manipulated. Corrupted.
I fear for them more now.
June 8th 236 AD
Aro is focusing mainly on sending out the word of the new power and laws that the Volturi have enforced.
Before, with the Romanians, there were many good tactics that were used for control and punishment of our race.
I suggested that we keep some of them but Aro would have none of that.
"Dear sister, that was their downfall. We would only end up like them if we follow their ways, their rules. Weak and powerless is what they were. We would be heading in the direction they would have. We need change, Didyme. I…we will provide that change."
Yes we do need change, but at what cost?
To what lengths will Aro take this change in government to?
He assured me that everything will be for the better.
But I still worry about my brother.
His future, his destiny…
I don't believe he is safe anymore.
Days, weeks even years worth of her entries I read.
And I was still far from finished.
Didyme was very thorough.
It's like getting an inside and truthful view of the real Volturi history.
It confirmed a lot of the rumors I have heard of them.
The only thing is that Didyme was left out of a lot of things, things Aro didn't want her around for.
Most things that she knew about, she learned from her visions.
Marcus would also fill her in on a few things that her visions wouldn't tell her, but only to an extent.
September 13th 247 AD
I've foreseen new battles ahead for us.
It seems many vampires have been gathering and siring newborns to form armies.
They don't plan on trying to overthrown the Volturi.
They only fight amongst themselves, for territorial feeding rights.
However, when I informed Aro about them, he sent out the guard to "neutralize" the situation.
He tells everyone that it's not safe to have that many newborns loose at once, that they could expose our kind if they are not controlled and trained.
But I know Better.
Aro's paranoia is just getting worse and worse as the years go by.
He fears that history will repeat itself, but with the tables turned on him.
Though, his paranoia may be right…
Who will succeed?
Well that was cryptic.
February 18th 251 AD
Finally the wars have subsided.
It's nice to have that headache in the past now.
Though I did have a vision of similar wars breaking out again in a few centuries…They will be another story.
No need to worry Aro about those anytime soon though.
The last couple of years have changed my brother.
He has let the greed of power consume him.
He doesn't let me join his meetings anymore.
He forbad Marcus to tell me things as well.
They have their meetings in secret so that I wouldn't know about them
I hardly have visions of their meetings anymore, but there are the occasions that I do…and I don't like what I've been seeing.
I worry sometimes that Marcus might follow in Aro's footsteps, but I have yet to see that happen so far.
I can only hope it remains that way.
April 2nd 252 AD
Aro insists that I keep myself busy with Sulpicia, and Athenodora.
He wants me to befriend them.
I cannot stand them.
Sulpicia is not friendly in the least bit.
She is practically the splitting image of Aro.
Athenodora is two faced.
In front of everyone she is polite and sweet but behind the curtains she proves to be arrogant, self-centered, and downright annoying.
I wish they were more like Katherine.
She truly is a good friend.
I miss her dearly.
Well it seems like Sulpicia and Athenodora are still the same.
When I first met them they were so sweet and I thought we would be really good friends.
But as soon as I went up to them later they laughed in my face and told me I was not good enough to even speak with them.
Yeah, I knew exactly what Didyme was talking about.
October 30th 253 AD
I had the most horrible vision today.
I showed it to Aro and he says I was meant to have it so he could make sure he stops it from happening.
My vision came to me suddenly, out of no where.
A girl, a simple vampire, she would be born with great powers.
She will be the end of the world as we know it.
In my vision she was cornered by rogue.
She tried to escape him but he held her down.
Her body suddenly shook violently and the rogue stepped away.
The girl stood with only her fists shaking, looking at the man.
She crouched down to attack him, but before she could do anything the man's arm was torn off.
She didn't even touch him.
The rogue screamed in pain.
She was startled and took a step back.
The man's other arm was unhinged.
Slowly and painfully the rogue's legs ripped from his body.
When there was nothing left but his head and torso the man yelled, pleading with the girl to stop hurting him, begging her to forgive him.
The girl was confused; she didn't know that she was the one causing this.
She glared at him one final time and the screeching sound of cutting metal was in the air.
The girls' eyes, that had been previously black, were now and odd orange color. Not like any newborn's I'd seen.
She made no movement towards the body of the man.
Suddenly small flickers of flame appeared where each body part lay on the ground.
The flickers became raging fires. Purple smoke filled the air as she turned around and ran away from the scene.
The girl stopped in the middle of a nearby town. The sun shined down on her and she broke into diamonds.
The crowds all around gasped and stared at her in awe.
She smirked and was then a blur.
In just a few seconds time, bodies lay everywhere.
She had drank them all dry.
As she walked away from them I could see the beginning of fires spreading all across the town.
My vision changed to an army of vampires confronting her.
Caius was at the front about to command the army to rip her apart.
The girl laughed evilly.
Caius gave the command.
Before any of them could move Caius was just a pile of ashes and smoke.
The girl lifted her hand up and the vampires behind the fire stood frozen, unable to move.
"Now you could join me, or join him." The girl said simply, motioning to the pile of ashes.
The army vowed her allegiance and showed her the way to the castle.
My vision ended as she pushed open the castle gates with a smirk on her face and the Volturi army behind her, at her command.
Her destiny is to rule us all.
Wow.
I couldn't believe it.
Who the hell was this girl?
I'm guessing they found some way to kill her or she just left.
Aro surly wouldn't have allowed that to happen.
And since Aro, Caius, and Marcus are still ruling today, I'm guessing she hadn't taken them over.
October 31st 253
I've had another vision today, one that gives me hope.
Aro has told me that he will make sure this one happens.
There is a boy that will be found.
He will join the guard.
From what I witnessed in my vision, I cannot tell what his gift is.
The vision was so simple, but it gave me every ounce of hope we needed.
The girl enters our hall.
Aro is there with the boy at his side.
They speak briefly.
When the girl tries to take a step forward she falls to the ground, gripping at her chest.
She is held up by two guardsmen and Aro approaches the boy holding him away from the girl.
The girl's eyes widen in shock and tries to break loose from the two men holding her.
She then falls limp in their grasp and is then dragged away by them.
That boy is the only key to controlling her.
I wish I knew what happened exactly.
I had never heard anything in the castle about it.
Why wouldn't something that big be spoken about?
I'm surprised I had never even heard a rumor about it.
Surly if the guard was all involved, someone would have slipped and said something about it in all these centuries.
November 12th 253 AD
I've gone through my visions hundreds of times trying to figure out when and where these evens will take place.
I was looking for anything that could help us find these two before anything could happen, especially that boy.
I did realize that some of the townspeople the girl had slaughtered wore clothing I had never seen before.
They were very odd, and some even vulgar and revealing.
The buildings were sturdy and large.
Technology, from what I saw, was immensely advanced.
It could only mean this was centuries in the future.
I can't pinpoint the exact dates but I feel that this may happen more than seventeen centuries in the future.
Only Aro and I know of these visions he has asked me to keep them quiet so that I don't cause any worry among the guard.
We visit every day so that we could discuss everything in my visions and to see if anything has changed.
I gave him the best descriptions I could manage.
Aro gave me his word that when the time comes he would do anything in his power to find them and bring them at peace.
I could only hope that that's true.
December 30th 253 AD
There's been a change.
Today a young vampire has joined the guard and she has changed the course of destiny.
I no longer see all the chaos of the girl I had before.
This young girl has the gift to see other's gifts, and it will be her destiny to find the girl from my vision.
She will be trained and shown the right path of a vampire.
The girl wouldn't be a threat to us, she would later leave the guard and live eternity in seclusion, on her own.
She would be at peace with us.
I showed this to Aro and he was highly disappointed.
My reaction was outrage.
His thirst for power had him hoping that instead of the girl ruling them, he would control her into being his puppet and high guard.
The nerve of him!
I show him the destruction this girl could do, and he plans to use it for his benefit!
To think he cared.
Yep that sounds like Aro.
The vampire that Didyme was talking about must have been Bethany.
I didn't know Bethany knew Didyme.
Maybe I would ask her later if she knew what happened with the girl and the boy they were looking for.
I noticed there was another blue ink message at the bottom of the page.
Bethany knows nothing. Aro wouldn't allow me to tell her.
Well, damn.
March 3rd 254 AD
I've had another vision.
This one is very unlike the others.
In this new vision I see the girl and boy meeting formally in the guard.
They spend years together, forming a bond that would put wedding vows to shame.
Aro becomes worried that they will join forces and over throw his rein, so he sends for them to be destroyed.
What he doesn't count on though, is that they had already planned to overthrow him.
The girl kills Aro, leaving Marcus and Caius to agree to step down from the throne.
The two will rule over the vampire world and centuries later will be the deciding factors in preparing the world for the exposure and joining of vampires and humans.
I'm not too sure if I believe it's better or worse than the others.
I guess it depends on the way you look at it.
Could vampires and humans really live together in peace?
But how will we feed…
Holy crow.
I had never thought about that.
Would humans be able to live peacefully with knowing about vampires?
Humans would freak out if they knew about vampires.
Although when Edward found out, he didn't freak out…then again he was raised by a family of them…
March 5th 254 AD
I don't know if I want to tell Aro about this new vision I had.
I'm torn in two.
He dies in it, so obviously he wouldn't like it.
If I tell him, he will do anything in his power to make sure it doesn't happen.
I don't want my brother to die but I can't let the whole world be threatened either.
It's hard to keep everything bottled up.
I can't even tell Marcus of my latest vision because Aro is always reading his thoughts.
Will I be able to hold out much longer?
March 10th 254 AD
Today Katherine came to visit and we went out for a stroll in the gardens.
I knew I could trust her with everything.
I told her about all the visions I've had, including the most recent.
She listened to everything; she understood the importance of the situation.
I asked for her advice and she told me just to let my heart decide what to do.
I feel much better now that I've been able to freely talk about things with at least someone else.
Though I do worry for her safety, now.
As much as I hated my own idea, I asked her to stay away from the castle for awhile and stay clear from Aro's path.
I miss her already.
Again there was a blue ink message at the bottom.
There is a compartment in my box. It is a gift for my Katherine. Please make sure she gets it. She will ask how you ended up with it; just tell her I always find a way.
I furrowed my brows in confusion.
I stood up and went to my bag in the closet.
I took out the box that I had found the journal in.
It was empty, but she did say there was a compartment in it.
I looked closer and noticed in the lower corner there was a small ribbon poking out from a small opening.
I gently pulled at the ribbon and the bottom of the box lifted with it.
Underneath was a necklace.
It was beautiful.
They chain was made of velvet and there was a pendant on it.
It was wooden and had the same sun and moon symbol on it with a script 'D' imprinted on it.
"Bella!" I heard Alice call quietly but still excited voice from downstairs. "Guess who's coming over today!"
"Who?" I whispered.
"Kate!" she giggled. "She's found a mate and she wants to introduce us to him, isn't that sweet?"
"That's great." I smiled.
"She'll be here in 10 minutes, so you should get ready. Edward will still be sleeping for a couple more hours."
"I'll be down in a minute."
I picked up the necklace and started walking back to the desk.
I froze in mid-step.
Wait a minute…
Could she…
"Hey Alice…"
"Hmm?"
"Is Kate's whole name…Katherine? Or just Kate…"
"It's Katherine, but she prefers Kate."
Could Kate be Didyme's Katherine?
"Why do you ask?"
It has to be her.
"Just wondering, is all."
It can't be coincidence that I just happened to read that entry when Alice had a vision of Kate coming over.
No it wasn't coincidence.
Didyme knew exactly what she was doing.
I smiled and quickly dressed.
I put the necklace in my pocket and quietly slipped out of the room.
Leave me your thoughts in a review! ^-^

Oh and by the way…I have a picture up on my profile of what Didyme's sun/moon symbol looks like! I actually drew it myself since I couldn't find anything online that looked like what was in my mind. =D
Check it out.
