Sorry it took me so long to do anything. I have been really distracted lately, and I just couldn't think of anything to put into the story. I will try to be more...on time with the stuff, but I can't make any promises.

Chapter 2

Intro To Aro

Orion POV

I stared up into the face of myself, a much older version of myself. His eyes were cold and reflective, almost like ice instead of space. The planes of his face were angular, casting shadows in odd angles. He scared me.

"It's time to go, little Orion." He said after sending everyone through the walls. You broke my room! I shouted into his head. I knew that my family would be okay, I wasn't too worried about them. I would never hurt my own family, even if I scare myself.

In the time it took me to blink once, I was staring into a different place. It was dark and cold, scary looking. I don't want to go there…I thought. He stepped forward, one foot crossing into the evil looking field. Dead trees loomed in the distance, and bright moon huge overhead. An icy wind ruffled my hair, and sent needles through my skin.

I don't like this place…No! As his other foot began to step into the dark world, I shattered the image. We were halfway between both worlds, so both worlds shattered around us. I felt an immense pulling, sucking me away from him. "What did you do, you little-"

I cut him off by inhaling hugely, then blowing at his chest. I saw him blow my family away, so I copied his motions. He was launched away from me midsentence, a frustrated snarl replacing the words. I blew again, pushing myself through the empty space, further away from him.

He stopped moving backwards. I gasped lightly as he began to come back towards me. He didn't move a muscle, yet he flew towards me like he had wings, or something else. Ah! No, go away meany! I yelled at him. I attacked his mind, trying to make him leave. He stopped moving, but I still gained no entrance. He then turned the tables on me. Eek! I screamed as I felt him force himself into my mind, trying to make me come back to him.

I felt his mind consume mine, and I became helpless, unable to even draw breath. I noticed, however, that I had easy access to his mind while he made me slowly drift towards him through the empty space. I sneaked through his mind, taking information that might help me. Taking one particular lesson he learned, I shoved him out of my mind, then pushed him further back again.

The stunned look on his face made me smile. I liked surprising older people with what I could do. Time for another surprise. I thought at him. I then drew in the blackness around me, and placed myself back on earth. I opened my eyes to find myself in a very old city on a cobbled street. People were walking around me, no one looking down at me. Good. I thought. No one would care that I was sitting here, doing nothing.

I stretched out my mind and began to search people's memories. Where is this? I searched for the answer in an old lady's mind, and found it quickly. Volterra…The Volturi! I can ask them for help! I had spent some time watching them, but I hadn't really seen anything interesting. My family was scared of them, but I was merely curious. They had done nothing to make me think evil of them.

I reentered the universe and quickly located the Volturi's castle. I delved deep into it, and found Aro conversing pleasantly with Jane. Aro! I shouted, aiming at his very old mind. His head shook from side to side, searching for the mysterious voice that had called out to him. Aro, come find me. I am in the city of Volterra, somewhere. I need help. I spoke to him. I sent him an image of my current location, although I could not see much beyond all the very tall people.

I withdrew from my vision into his castle, and began to absently search through people's minds. I found a very interesting mind after five minutes of waiting, and I focused on it. Demetri. He is looking for me. I thought, reading his mind. I called out to him, and he turned in my direction instantly. He walked at a human speed though, and I asked him why in his mind. So that I am not seen by people as different. We need to blend in. He thought back, assuming that I would hear him.

He broke through the crowd shortly after that, and looked down at me. I gasped in surprise, not expecting his blood red eyes. I had imagined his eyes to be gold, just like my families' eyes. Come here, little boy." He said softly, picking me up gently. He cradled me in his arms and turned back in the direction he came.

"So, who are you?" he asked, peering down into my eyes. His widened as he sank into my vision of the universe. I closed my eyes as I answered his question, knowing it would bring him back to Volterra. I am Orion. I…I stopped before I told him who my parents were. He might not like that. Worse, he might hurt my family! "So, Orion. What are you doing here in Volterra?" he asked, looking at my nose instead of my eyes.

I was kidnapped by myself. I escaped and somehow came here. I don't know why I came here, I just wanted to escape from me. I told him. I had expected him to accept it without question, but I wasn't so lucky. "You were kidnapped by…By yourself? How…How is that possible?" He asked, more confused than I had been when it happened. I had better not show him everything that I can do. Only the bare essentials. Or, I can just wait for Aro. Yeah, let's do that.

I don't really feel like explaining it, more than once. Can you wait for Aro to hear it? Then I can just say it once to everyone. I asked, knowing he wouldn't object. "How about you tell me first, or else I won't take you to Aro?" What? I thought, dumbstruck. He is contradicting my choice? How dare he!

I breached his mind, and took copied another tactic I had seen myself use. I gained control of his body and began walking him back towards the castle. I followed the directions of his mind, finding it easily. How about, you don't question me again, Demetri? I spoke to him. I felt fear, stronger than any emotion I had ever felt before, coming from him. He was terrified at being controlled so easily.

I walked him into the hall, nodding politely to the receptionist. She is human. Why? I asked him, then just picked it out of his brain. Oh, I see. She was hoping that they would change her, one day. Demetri had killed the last receptionist eight years ago. Gianna had been elated that he was going to bite her, but she had expected him to stop. He didn't.

"Aro." I called out with his voice. I felt Aro rapidly approaching us with is power, his ability to locate anyone he had 'heard' before. I found his power intriguing. I read everything about it from his mind before Aro came into view. I'll figure out how I can use it without him, later. "Hello, Aro. This is the boy that was calling to you." Demetri said. I let him talk, since I was already here. His voice shook, and it alerted Aro to something that was wrong.

I made Demetri put me down, and I spoke to Aro directly. Hello, Aro of the Volturi. My name is Orion.

"Hello there, Orion. How is it that you have come here? And, if I may ask, how do you know my name, and what we are? You are clearly not a vampire." His ancient voice rasped through my ears, causing me to wince slightly. I cannot tell you everything, but I can tell you how I came here. I was kidnapped by myself, and I managed to escape. I found myself here after fleeing from myself, so I decided to call you to me. I explained, giving images along with the words. He nodded in understanding, but looked somewhat shocked.

I entered into his mind, searching for some information about what I could do from here. He did not seem to notice my breach, so I continued searching. "Why are you being silent, little Orion? Would you please explain to me of your knowledge of vampires? Or, would it just be simpler for me to find it myself?" He asked.

Are you threatening me? I asked, sensing his menacing intentions. I continued my exploration as he answered, again surprised at my knowledge. "N-no. I was merely asking if you would prefer it if I were to read it from your mind, instead of you explaining it yourself."

I could feel his unease at having to explain, and the fact that he had been lying about not threatening me. No, I'll explain. I don't want all of my life to be revealed to you. I mean, I just met you! Now, listen:

I explained vaguely how I knew about vampires, and a small bit about my powers. He waited quietly while I explained, only allowing him to hear my explanation. I probed his memories as I did so, but he was entirely oblivious to that part. I did not bother learning about his power, since I could read minds without touching the person.

"So, since you can implant thoughts, can you also read them? Or is it a one-way link?" he asked. No, I can read minds too. I said simply, not revealing how deeply I could probe. Would you mind showing me around? I would love to see more of the castle.

"Uh…Sure. No problem, young Orion. How long are you planning on staying, by the way?"

I hadn't actually thought about how long I would stay. In fact, I hadn't thought past getting into here. Hmmm…I think that my parents will be worried…What should I do? As I thought, I felt a stronger desire to remain here, for now, and return later. Okay, I'll remain here. I thought. I turned my attention back to Aro. How long will I be welcome? He smiled widely at my reply, and said, "As long as you like, Orion. As long as you like.

Virgo POV

"There, Virgo. I have taught you everything that I am allowed to. You can travel around the universe, learning new things though. I can't teach you everything, but there are several species that have special abilities not even imagined on this planet." Older-me said.

I was still in the body of an infant, but I had been training for quite a while. At least, it seemed like a long time… "No, it hasn't been any time at all. Everything is still just as frozen as it was when we started, no matter how long it may have been." She answered my unasked question. "I must get going. There is no longer any point in me being here. Please, place me back, I cannot do it. You have done it, so only you can replace me."

I reached back into the fabric of time and space, and re-instilled her into her place. "Good-bye, Virgo." She said, as I restarted time in her section of the universe.

I fled into the universe, searching for an appropriate place to begin my training. I could now perfectly manipulate space and time, so I had no rush to get back to my family. They would still be the same when I got back.

I found a little brown planet, several billion light-years away from Earth, with small eruptions of fire popping up everywhere. This seemed like a good place to begin, as I could sense intelligent life here. How do they survive here, with so many eruptions? I wondered. I quickly changed my appearance, coming to be twenty years old, instead of two days old.

I flew down to the planet, alighting on its dusty surface. There was no air here, but I had no need of air. I had learned that I could only be killed, and only by someone like me. Like Orion. There was no other way for me to die, no other way for him to die. We were more immortal than any vampire could ever hope to be.

I warped quickly to a space not far from a denizen of this world. I gasped lightly when I saw it: A dark green layer of skin covered a bony body. Four arms extended from its torso, while three legs grew downwards. Its head reminded me of a deer's skull, skin stretched so tight it was almost non-existent. Large black eyes took up most of its head, eyes the size of coffee saucers. Its mouth clicked open briefly, and I caught a glimpse of several rows of razor sharp teeth, and two tongues.

A gout of flame erupted from the ground not far away from the creature. The fire hung there suspended in mid air, feeding off the combustible air. I stared, dumbstruck as it reached forward, grabbing the fire with its bare hands. It pulled the fire towards it, wrapping it around its hand. I was frozen in awe. The fire compressed easily in its hands, becoming smaller, more crystalline. The creature completely enveloped the fire in its hands, and then removed them.

In one hand, it held the most beautiful gem I had ever seen. It had a sheen like a diamond, but a bright red color, the same as the fire.

The creature brought the gem to its mouth, and bit off a large chunk. I saw the razor teeth slide easily into the gem, as though it were made of oatmeal.

I was instantly grasped by this amazing ability of the first creature I had found. Turning fire into gems! Of course, they were then eaten, but still. I delved deep into the creature's mind, searching for the information of how to make such a fabulous gem.

As soon as I touched its mind, however, it turned its head to me. How could it see me? I wondered, backing up slightly. It shimmered slightly, and then was right in my face. I gasped, throwing a wall of air between us. It was launched back nearly ten feet, then screamed at me. The high pitched wail nearly split my skull, forcing me to block the sound entirely.

I felt my air wall being broken down. A large pillar of fire erupted in front of me, then expanding. It ate the air like mad. The creature was then right up in my face again. This time, I had no air to throw it away with.

Dun-dun-dun-duuuuuuuhhhhh! Sorry, cliffy. I felt it was a good ending, since the next part couldn't be interrupted for a new chapter. I'll try to post it soon. please review!
