A/N: I do not reread what I write because I'm insanely lazy. So there are probably lots of errors, please excuse and ignore them. Microsoft's spellcheck only does so much.
For years I was able to do anything I wanted. I traveled to any place on Earth that I wanted to see. I was able to read any book I wanted to, watch any movie I wanted to and I did it all with the company of my queens. Not only was I able to travel the world, but I also explored practically every inch of the castle. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with the castle. A fear I had with living in Volterra was becoming stir crazy with staying in the castle for eternity, we didn't plan on anyone taking control from the Volturi, but the castle was a lot larger than I thought it was and I didn't think I would have a problem with becoming stir crazy.
I was able to build stronger relationships with the guard as well. The first person that I had become close to was Heidi; I learned a lot about her. One of the biggest things I had learned about her was that she used to be in a coven with Victoria. Apparently the coven didn't last long because they fought amongst themselves too often; they couldn't pick just one person to be in charge. Heidi admitted that she had traveled with Victoria for some time and had even met James. She said she instantly hated James and wanted nothing more to do with those two, so she went off on her own and joined the Volturi.
The next person I was able to learn a lot about surprised me. I had thought I would learn more about Felix next, since he's so outgoing and had no problems talking with me whenever he had the chance. Instead of learning a lot about Felix, I learned a lot of Jane and by association Alec as well. I should have guessed that I would have learned more about Jane than the others sooner, but with how little she liked to talk to me, I didn't think I would. I learned how Sulpicia had first heard about them when they were still children and then how later she saved them when they were about to be burned at the stake. I learned that their nickname, witch twins, were actually something that had carried over from their human lives. She wouldn't go into detail about what exactly had earned them their nickname only that their village was terrified of them, and wanted them dead. Sulpicia had been keeping an eye on the twins, waiting to turn them because she thought they would be good vampires. I had learned that Sulpicia only turned them as early as she had because she hadn't arrived as early as she had wanted to; she had saved the twins when they were already burning. So, basically, Alec and Jane went from one fire to another. I was happy that she had finally confided in me, we had actually become friends because of it.
I didn't just get close to my personal guards though; I also got close to several other guard members. I was, of course, closer to some of them more than others, but I was sure that I was able to at least become friends with most of them. I was able to bring different guard members with me on the different trips I went on when the queens couldn't go for one reason or another, which wasn't too often. The queens were right when they had told me that they really didn't have too much to do because there wasn't anyone actively trying to take over their reign.
Along with traveling all over, I also had a chance to fix some things with my older friends. The first person I repaired my friendship with, was Jacob. At first, I wasn't too keen on repairing our friendship, especially not after how he had treated me, but I wanted my best friend back. It took a lot of phone calls that resulted in a lot of tears, which the queens were not happy about at all, but it all ended with Jacob and I mending things between us. By the time I was twenty-three, Jacob and I were back to where we used to be. I had my best friend back, the guy that helped me when the Cullen's had left; I couldn't be happier about that.
The worst thing that I had to deal with was my parents. I visited them as often as I could, or at least as often as I had to pretend I could. Technically I could have visited them literally anytime I wanted to. I ended up only visiting them every few months or so. Within a few years of committing myself to the queens, I had to make the decision to end my connection with my parents. There was no way they could know that I was still alive after I had become a vampire. Them knowing would be against the laws and the queens have expressed several times that as much as they love me, as rulers, they can't break their own rules. They had already bent their rules to give me time before I was turned, so I didn't want to try my luck. I had to get my parents to think that I was killed. In a perverse way, at least with faking my death, they would have some sort of closure; whereas they wouldn't if I had just simply disappeared.
It was decided that the easiest way for me to die and for no questions to be asked, was to have a plane accident. We had to time it just right, but Felix and another vampire that I unfortunately can't remember the name of, that looked, to the humans from a distance at least, similar to me. This way people would have 'seen me' get on the plane with the pilot. Sometime during the flight, over the ocean of course, the plan would have some sort of engine failure and crash; it would leave no survivors. The two vampires that would actually survive would eventually swim back to land and then run back home.
I hadn't known it at the time, but Alice had kept the newspaper clipping for me that involved everything with my death and burial and whatnot. She had turned into a scrapbook for me and had saved it to give it to me after I was turned and after she was sure that I would destroy it in newborn rage when I saw it.
The Cullen's were invited to Volterra to see me as soon as I woke up after I was bit. The queens didn't want them there, but after I begged them, and made sure to ask them when I was withholding an orgasm from each of them, I eventually got them to say yes. Naturally, they were mad at me with how I had gotten them to agree, but I don't regret it. Not only did I get to have my family there after I woke up and to be with me when I started my new life, but have all three queens punish me with sex for an entire weekend and then promising to continue the punishment once I was turned was well worth playing sneaky to get my way.
The Cullen's had just gotten here this morning but I was too caught up with the queens to go and say hi. We had decided that they would turn me after lunch so that, in theory, after I was completely turned, it should hopefully be dark so that they could take me out hunting. That was another thing that we had talked a lot about.
Initially I wanted to adopt the Cullen's lifestyle. I hadn't even thought of making anyone in the Volturi following suite, I was okay with them continuing with killing humans for food as was literally their nature, and I would just be the black sheep of the Volturi. I was okay with that. In time though, the more I saw of Volterra and just how the Volturi worked, I realized that eating off of animals wasn't really realistic while I lived with the Volturi. Since I was going to live with them forever, I needed to adopt their lifestyle. Making that decision involved a lot of discussions with the Volturi. All three had confirmed that Carlisle wasn't actually the first golden eye vampire they had run across; which makes lots of sense. How could they be thousands of years old and it took until Carlisle for someone to figure out that animal blood could be a substitute. They also told me the consequences of drinking animal blood over human, how it weakens me. After all our talks, which took place over several years, I eventually decided that I was going to use their diet. Drinking human blood was after what vampires are literally created to do.
I had spent the morning cuddling with the queens and just talking about how it will be after I'm fully turned. We had decided, or actually I was afraid and decided and they agreed that I would be turned lying on the bed and with them biting me. Dora and Cia had really wanted to be able to turn me just as I orgasm. But, I was afraid that somewhere in my mind would associate the pain of being turned with having an orgasm, so I was very adamant to turn that idea down. Both Dora and Cia tried their best with proving that it wouldn't matter but pinching me, or even just biting me as I orgasm, but I didn't change my mind.
"It's afternoon now dear, whenever you're ready, just tell us." Cia said, breaking the silence we had fallen into.
"I'm honestly really afraid." I admitted.
Until just now, I was always confident about being turned. I had always told them that I wasn't afraid. I put up a big front. Now that I was facing three days of unbearable pain that would literally kill me, I was terrified. I wasn't going to back out, but I wasn't definitely fighting tears because of how afraid I was.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. We'll be right here, with you, the entire time." Dora said comfortingly.
"This will be the last pain you'll have to suffer before we can have eternity. We survived it and I swear you will to." Didyme added.
"It's going to hurt." I said, finally voicing what's been on my mind for so long.
"I know love, but I swear it will be worth it because three days of pain verses an eternity with us; isn't that worth it?" Cia asked, the jerk going for guilt.
"Of course it is."
"Try your best to think of everything you love. Think of Charlie, Renee and Jacob. Think of the Cullen's that are here, waiting for you. Think of the guard. Think of Felix and Emmett and how excited they are to wrestle with you once you've turned. Think of us. Think of our eternity, of always being together." Didyme said as she held my face, forcing me to focus on her.
Without having to verbalize anything, the queens knew I was ready. They knew that I didn't want to put off my forever anymore. As Didyme kept my eyes attached to her blood red ones, I felt both Dora and Cia bite into my neck. I felt the burning venom as it crawled from their teeth and into my veins. Before the pain became too unbearable, Didyme lowered her head and bit my chest, right next to my heart. I hadn't talked with them about where they would bite me, I wanted them to decide. Having Didyme bite me on my chest and the other two bite me on my neck, it just made sense.
It took seconds for the fire to consume all my thoughts. I tried to stick with what they had told me and think of them, but before too long, all I could think about was the fire.
Life as a vampire is a lot different than that of a human. It took a little bit of time for me to get used to the changes. I was fortunate enough to keep all my memories from being a human, that was the first thing I noticed because that was something I was worried about the most. My senses were the next thing I noticed. My eyesight and hearing had improved so much that I was completely enthralled with listening to something that was happening far away from the castle and watching as a dust particle slowly floated towards the floor. Smell was the next sense that I became intimately aware of.
Just as they had promised, the queens were all there when I woke up. At first I was just happy to see them again and not be in pain. But then my newborn mind recognized them as my mates, but I couldn't smell anything of me on them. I could tell that they all carried each other's scents and a much weaker version of my own, but it wasn't enough. I felt the possession that the queens had always talked about take over my body. I had to have them. There was to question about it. They were mine and I needed to make sure that everyone knew it.
It took a few days for me to finally leave the room I was turned in. The queens had wisely chosen to turn me in a different aside from our own. Apparently they were fond of some of their furniture and well, none of the furniture in the room I was turned in survived the first few days after I woke up. By the time I had managed to keep myself separated from them for longer than a few seconds, I realized that I was starving. They had all commented that I had gone a long time for a newborn without eating, but it was time or they might have to resort to some extremes to keep me destroying the town.
I wasn't proud of how they had delivered my first meal; or for a few meals after that. They had Heidi fish in humans because they were concerned that my control wouldn't be as strong outside and amongst a lot of humans as it was inside the castle. Luckily we had discovered that I had really good control over my thirst, something that Carlisle was absolutely fascinated with.
The Cullen's left after a couple months, though Emmett wanted to stay longer so that he could see my strength return to normal and then beat me in wrestling to make up for all the times I had beaten him. There was rumor that he had made Felix promise to report to him as soon as he thought I was getting close to losing to him so that he could fly out and either witness me losing to Felix, or beat me himself. I only rolled my eyes and Rosalie told him that if she wasn't busy then they might go when Felix calls, but no promises.
Since the Cullen's left, things had been very quiet around the castle and I really liked it. Days were spent relaxing, learning new hobbies and improving on old ones. When trouble came up, I was able to witness how the queens handled everything and learn what to do so that I would one day rule alongside them. I practiced all the time with my shield gift with Heidi and Jane so that eventually I was able to go with them on missions so that I could learn that aspect of the Volturi as well. The queens weren't happy about it, especially since I didn't want them to tag along, but they couldn't and wouldn't force me not to go. I usually went with Jane since she gave the queens the most peace of mind when I left, but I had eventually gone on missions with all the Volturi to deal with all sorts of problems. In just a few short centuries, I had eventually felt confident that I knew enough to actually take a place next to the queens.
They had a fourth throne installed that was positioned on the other side of Dora's. News had spread quickly that now, instead of the three rulers of Volterra, there were four.
A/N: So, this chapter is very lazy. I view this chapter as both the concluding chapter and the epilogue; so no more chapters for this story. Good news is, though, I will work now on finishing the other stories I have up.
