My breath seemed to catch in my throat as I stared at her. She looked just as she had the last time I saw her. Her brown-black hair was flowing carelessly just a little over her shoulders. Alison wore a black dress just as she had before but this one wasn't as long, it only went to her knees. Her skin was pale like all the other vampires but her eyes...I hated them. They were still that blood red, crimson color...she still drank from helpless humans. At first she looked surprise because of my little disappearing act but then...she got this look on her face, only for a moment, it was like, she was sad. Like she longed for something...or someone. Was that someone me? Did she miss me? Just as fast as the look came in went away, she pale, flawless face became unreadable again. My heart sank.
"What was that? How did you do that?" Aro asked narrowing his eyes, in suspicion.
"I'm a ghost."
"Ghost?" Aro was confused. It was about time the tables were turned. He was probably just as shock to hear about ghost as I had been to hear about vampires and werewolf's.
"Yes ghost. I died when I had my children and at the time I was...involved with a ghost. He turned me." I glanced at Jeremy when I said the word 'involved' but quickly looked away.
"Children?" He turned back to the family, who were still standing on the porch, just watching. Aro nodded seeing how much Karen, David and Jillian looked like and me and there father. "So these are yours." Wow, like I didn't already know that.
No one spoke at first then Aro sighed. "Being a ghost still doesn't stop you from becoming a vampire." What was with him? Was the vampire race that low, that he had to have me?
I rolled my eyes, without thinking much about it. "I really can't be a vampire."
"And why is that?"
"See I'm a shape-shifter or werewolf, whatever. But I can't control when I change and what not."
"Do you really expect me to believe that?"
"Well duh! Why would I tell you that I was a shape-shifter, if I didn't want you to believe it?" My anger was getting the best of me but right now I could careless. I saw Jeremy shooting me warning looks that said "Watch it." But I acted as if I didn't see them.
"You've changed...some not much, since we last met." Aro pointed out.
"Really? I had no idea. I thought I was the same, who knew I had changed?" I said in a fake shocked voice.
I could tell I was getting to Aro. This is what he needs, someone to challenge him not just to bow down to him. I realized that's what they all needed. The Volutri needed someone to stand up to them, to give them a run for there money. If I played my cards right I could be the one to do that. Now that I thought about I noticed something else. The werewolf's, the Cullen's, a few other vampire covens, and the ghost world...we could take over The Volutri! All we had to do was--
"Melissa!" Jeremy, Edward, Karen, and Alice all shouted at me, pulling me from my thoughts. When I looked at them, they were glaring hard at me.
What? It was just a thought. I told them mentally, poor Alice was the only one who couldn't hear me out of the four.
Aro looked at me then everyone on the porch then back to me. "Is there something I'm missing here?"
"No." Edward, Alice, Jeremy, Karen and I all muttered in union. Aro didn't look to convinced.
For the next hour or so, I spent my time telling Aro, my mother and the other four vampire's about all that had gone on. I told them about Adrian, the kids, even Jeremy and I's recent engagement.
"I see no ring on your finger." Stated Aro, sounding like he had caught me in a lie.
I shot a quick glare at Jeremy. "We had a...disagreement, you could call it. The wedding is off, as of now."
"I knew you'd marry him someday...I couldn't and still can't see why." My mother commented, more to herself then to me. She hadn't said a single thing since she got here and not when she did speak she had to say this. Way to show some motherly love, Mom.
"Who I marry is none of your concern, anymore." I told her.
She glared at me. "I am still your mother."
I shook my head. "You stopped being my mother when you became one of them."
"How dare you!"
"How dare I? Your the one who thought I was your snack!" I snapped.
"You should have been." Alison said coldly.
I froze. Had she really just said that? Did she mean it?
"Are we done here? Clearly she can't become one of us, if she really is a shape-shifter. Can't we just go now?" Alison asked Aro, respect filled her voice. I don't think my eyes had even grown as big as they did when I saw what I did next. Aro leaned over and kissed my mother!
"All in good time, my love." He whispered, she nodded and grow quite again.
"Alison is right, if you are a shape-shifter then you can't be a vampire. Whenever you decide to leave the Cullen's your welcome to join us, Melissa. Your children too." Aro stood as he spoke. His followers, which included my mother, stood with him. He turned to face the Cullen's. "Edward, Alice you know you are always welcome to join us, which you seem so against doing. We will go now, but we will be checking in soon. To see if this shape-shifter tale is the truth. Good-bye." With that Aro, Alison and the other four walked out the door.
Took them long enough..Jeez.
