Chapter 16: Don't go Don't go! Going!

Karen's POV

"Find Jonathan and Susan White."

"Really? Cause, the Volturi has gone to great lengths to keep their location a secret. Only Demetri really knows where they are." He looked at me raising an eyebrow. "Then ask him. I am sure you can find a way to use that gift of yours to your advantage." I smiled in understanding. So he wants me to have fun? It has been two decades since I've had fun. "Will do. When do you want your information?" I asked. I felt like I was doing something bad, like I was a private investigator.

"As soon as you can get it." He said. "Okay, I'll go now. I'm sure I wont be here when Ellie wakes up so tell her I went to hunt. I'll be back soon." I said before speeding away. It was time for some fun.

There it is; beautiful Volterra. I walked through it at night, and went through the tunnel that would lead me to Demetri. As soon as he saw me he smiled. "Karen! What a surprise! Are you here to rejoin the guard? Aro will be very pleased."

"No Demetri, I'm not. But I have a favor to ask of you." I said. His smile did not waver as he nodded. "Please let's go somewhere we talk in private." He said. I nodded and he lead me deeper in the tunnel beneath the city.

"What is it that you need my friend?" He asked. "Jonathan and Susan White." I said. His smile was gone instantly. He never liked Elaina because I spent more time with her than with him. "I'm sorry I have orders not to give that information out." I looked at him through narrow eyes and got so close to him that I was but an inch away.

"Do you really want to play this game Demetri? You know what I can do to you." He looked back down at me. "If you have forgotten, I obey my master. I don't go running off for some human girl like others I know. I am loyal." His breath flew across my face but I did not move. Ha! Loyal.

I smiled. "Have you forgotten that I still have blood running through my veins? Incase you forgot, your in love with a human." I spat out at him. Okay so Demetri and I had a thing a while back. But Elaina came first.

He eyed me carefully. "Half human. Incase you've forgotten your in love with a vampire." He was going to make me do it. "Demetri I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this." I bit his neck for exactly two seconds. He screamed out in pure pain as the fire over took him.

My power was working well. You see, I have the gift of putting someone through pain. When I bite them they feel as if they are being turned into a vampire all over again. If I bite them for one second they feel the pain for 5 minutes. If I bite them for 2 seconds they feel the pain for 10 minutes and so on. But if I bite them for ten seconds, they go through the pain for over a hour before dieing.

Demetri laid across the floor crying out in pain. I waited and ten minutes later he stood up. I hated doing that to him. But it had to be done. I love revenge. "Fine." He said before closing his eyes. "Your human's parents are in St. Paul, Canada." I smiled at him. "Thank you." I said. "Oh and Demetri, I am sorry I had to do that to you." He did not look in my eyes. "I know." He whispered. I sighed as I turned to leave.

"Karen wait." He called out as I was 20 feet away from him. I turned around and met his eyes. "Don't go." He whispered. I breathed a big sigh. This was always the hardest part. "Why don't you go Dem?" I asked. That had always been the problem.

"You're the one who left." He said. Whoa. No he didn't. "Demetri I left because my best friend needed me too. I wanted you to come with me, but you said no." He closed the distance between. "I have my loyalty to my master." He said. "What about your loyalty to your wife?" Yep. We are married. His eyes turned black as soon as I said it.

I shook my head. "That's what I thought." I said before turning to leave. He caught my arm. "Karen I-" He stopped himself. I turned to look at him. His eyes looked so sad. "Don't Demetri. I have to go. Your still welcome to come with me. You've always been welcomed to come with me. But bigger things are happening here Dem. Cant you see that? The Volturi is corrupted. It has been for decades. Elaina was the one who made me realize that. And now Elaina needs me." He looked in my eyes.

"I don't know why you like this human girl so much. But I've lived without you for far too long. I will follow you anywhere. I will follow you to death." He whispered the last part.. And as soon as the words were out of his mouth, our lips came together like they had been apart for decades, which they were.

I finally had my Demetri back.

*Elaina's POV

I walked down stair to the kitchen where everyone was at. "Taylor, where's Karen?" I asked. He stood up and came to me. "She went hunting." He said smiling. Even for a vampire, Taylor was the worst liar. But I wasn't going to press the issue. "Okay." We walked to the kitchen for breakfast.

Taylor sat down on the bar stool and just stared at me as I got my cereal. "What?" I asked. He stood up and walked over to me. He put his hands on either side of my face. He closed his eyes. Taylor what's wrong? I asked in my head. Something was really wrong. I could tell. Why did you never tell me about Karen? He asked thinking back to me. Because I just didn't. Don't think about it, don't think about it. "Was it because every thought and memory of her brought you back to your childhood?" Why didn't you tell me Elle? I took in a large breath. Crap this cant happen now. We would have had this conversation sooner or later. He thought back to me.

I know.

Then why didn't you tell me? He asked again.

Because nobody has to know of the things I went through. My life was spent in the most evil place on this earth. And when I tried to leave, it followed me. Before I could stop myself, memories flooded my mind.

I was 6 and laying on the floor. Gianna and just got back and was upset at me. Aro just left me with her. Karen walked up to me with tears in her eyes and picked me up in her arms without saying anything. She took me into a bright room. "Ellie I'm so sorry." She said laying me down on a big bed. "This is my fault. I have the power to stop Gianna but I don't." I sat up even though my back was burning with the movement.

"Karen, take me away." I whispered. She looked at me with the most puppy dog eyes I had ever seen. "I promise I will. And I will never hurt you." She vowed. "You wont ever bite me?" I asked still a bit frightened that she had that power.

"Never." She vowed. And I believed her.

Taylor leaned down and kissed my forehead. "I wish more than anything to take all those bad memories away." He said. I sighed. "As do I." I closed my eyes and thought of all the good things in my life. My parents, Karen, the Cullen family, Taylor. Each time he would kiss me, when he would hold me close.

Taylor was holding me close now, as Karen came running into the kitchen. "Taylor, St. Paul, Canada." We pulled away from each other a bit and I saw him smile. "What's there?" I asked. Taylor looked down at me. "A good memory." He said before kissing my forehead again. I was confused, but happy.

A/N Hey! How was that? I really wanted you guys to learn more about Karen because she is going to become a VERY big part of the story. And I always feel bad for Demetri so….Yeah all that happened.
