1600s
A year after Alistair met Carlisle the Volturi was back to sending hordes of their guards his way. He found it entertaining.
Some of their gifts would cause him great confusion, but he always ended beating them simply through sheer force of will. He never really understood it. Sometimes their gifts would be completely overwhelming, but he always kept fighting and somehow won against all odds.
On a crisp morning Alistair caught the scent of three vampires in his territory, defiling it with their very presence. A few minutes later he heard their near silent footsteps running his way. Those fools had decided to attack straight on. They all wore the Volturi emblem.
All three males jumped at him at once. It was too easy for him. With quick movements Alistair dismembered and beheaded the two to his right. The third jumped backwards and out of his grasp before starting to run in the opposite direction, clearly seeing that he was no match.
He was very fast and Alistair was falling behind, but he wasn't going to give up. Alistair pushed himself harder than ever before as the intruder passed the perimeter of his territory.
The Volturi guard glanced backwards at Alistair. He felt dread settle in his stomach when he saw that he was still pursuing him despite being off territory. The scent of another vampire caught his attention filling him with hope, until he remembered his orders. Aro had mentioned there was another vampire with territory nearby, a deadly female that they were not supposed to bother or interact with. He had made it quite clear that if they spoke to her they would be killed. And to make things worse Alistair was slowly closing the gap between them.
The guard knew that if he didn't escape soon the vampire chasing him would catch up, so he started steering in the direction of the female's territory. He had to hold onto the hope that the male behind him wouldn't enter someone else's territory.
Alistair read his motives and was annoyed by the guard's cowardly actions. He pushed himself harder, hoping to get to him before he crossed into her territory. He knew they were very close to it and then for the first time he spotted her.
First contact! Get excited!
