Chapter One - Knight In Shining Armour
Aurora's POV
I sat on the roof ledge and peaked over at the little city below me, I could hear the cars revving impatiently, the televisions from the apartment blocks blaring and the chatter that came from the unaware humans below. Enough to give me a vampire headache.
They were lucky.
Usually whenever I was annoyed I hunted.
That happened alot.
I had eaten just outside of Seattle so I wasn't thirsty but the idea of torturing someone brought a smile to my shaped black cloak spread out around me and my blonde curls blew in the gentle night breeze.
I took in a deep breath.
The air was dirty, tasted of sulphur slightly and smoke. I sighed. I missed the clean air of the 1800's before the industrial revolution kicked in properly, now the air was polluted by the factory fumes and fossil fuels that were burnt.
The sun was starting to set. The beautiful flames of orange and red and yellow signifed the ending of another day and the start of another night.
My favourite time of day.
My phone in my pocket vibrated.
I checked the called ID and another smiled another coy smile.
Aro.
"Good evening Master." I said seductively into the receiver.
"I take it the newborn problem was eliminated then Aurora?"
"Of course Aro, did you think was incapable?" I hissed annoyed that he even had to ask that. I heard him laugh.
Had I ever shown weakness? No.
"Calm down dearest Aurora, I never doubted you for a moment."
Aro chuckled again and I bit back the sarcastic comments that threatened to escape my mouth.
"I'm in Port Angeles at the moment, I'll be back in Volterra tomorrow." I said sharply. "Are you missing me?"
"Hurry back I am indeed missing your presence. Our beautiful blonde angelus"
I was far from an angel, sure I looked like one with my large eyes, heart shaped face and tumbling blonde curls but everyone I met compared me to the opposite.
The Devil.
"I bet you are missing me, no one to keep your bed warm or is Sulphicia living up to your high demands?" I teased laughing lightly. It was no secret that I was Aro's domina or mistress but he still held the respect for his precious Sulphicia- I was just his bit on the side. I had accepted it.
"Goodbye Aurora, be safe."
"Yes Goodbye Aro." I snapped the cell phone shut with such force that I left a small dent on the model.
"Shit." I muttered to myself, you could clearly see my finger prints on it now, that what the third one this month. It was getting tiring.
I watched the sunset as it descended over the rooftops and thought back to a time when I had done this before during my human life, one of the few memories I still possessed. Even with my enhanced mind control I couldn't seam to envoke memories that belonged in my human life. Only my strongest and fiercest memories remained now, like with every other damn vampire.
17th April 1861
I smiled widely as I heard him approach. This was our spot, the top of the blacksmith's shop, we met here every night at sundown since I was thirteen.
I felt the warm evening breeze travel through my curls and turned around to face his green eyes.
"Happy 16th Birthday Aurora." he smiled at me and my heart skipped a beat when my blue eyes settled on his beautiful face.
"I thought you'd never show Jasper." I laughed getting to my feet, he came forward and kissed me gently.
"I'm sorry Ma'm." he laughed softly and I instantly lost myself in his green eyes.
"I suppose I could forgive you." I said kissing him again. "Where have you been?"
"Just...out. I had to talk to some people." he laughed lightly. He was hiding something.
"Aurora may I have this dance." he smirked stepping back and bowing. I laughed gently and curtsied and held the side of my dress as his arm snaked around my waist. He hummed a gently rhythm and we danced on the rooftops laughing and joking. If this was him trying to distract me I didn't care.
I loved him.
For three years I'd loved him.
This was the best time of day, when it was just me and him.
We continued to float over the rooftops.
Suddenly Jasper stopped and took a step back, I stared at him with confusion. He bent down onto one knee and held out a small ring. my hands flew up to my mouth in shock.
"Aurora Madison Knight, I Jasper Whitlock ask for your hand in marriage." he said with a lazy smile. I threw my arms around him. I smiled widly.
"This is the greatest birthday present ever! Of course it's a yes" I said kissing him.
Many of my friends were married and I was going to be too.
To the man of my dreams.
"I have other good news." he said raising his eyebrows enticingly.
"And what may that be sir?" I said looking at the ring that was now placed on my finger.
"I am no longer a sir, I could be a Major." he said excitedly. "Isn't that swell?"
My heart dropped. I noticed that the civil war had been drafting in soldiers but Jasper was young, a year older than I- only seventeen. I kept my eyes focused on the ring, Jasper noticed a change in my emotions.
"Don't worry Aurora I have already asked your father's permission." he said pulling me into a hug. He thought it was down to the engagement.
"It's not that." I said starting to sob, he held me closer and kissed my hair.
"What is it then?" he asked, his voice was pained.
"What if I lose you..?" It came out barely a whisper and somehow his grip intensified even more. "Soldiers die Jaz. I can't lose you."
"Rory I will never leave you." he soothed using my old nickname to try and calm me, somehow my fears washed away. Such a charmer. He leaned back and wiped away the tears giving me a smile. I smiled back.
"I promised your Father i'd walk you home." he smirked linking my arm. He was right it was dark now. Mother would be ecstatic so would my sister Daisy. I wish Maria was still here with us, when I was young she went into the forests and never came back. Jaz had never met her.
"Let's go tell everyone our good news." I smiled back. Jaz was right. He would never leave me.
I snapped myself out of the memory, he did leave me. He broke his promise.
He died.
They never even found his body.
The Civl War destroyed my family and all order in our village. With peace and order lost it led to crime and to me turning into this...
I shook off the thoughts about my lost love and past terrors, I was over that now. I looked around, the city was now plunged into darkness.
The sun had finally set.
The stars high in the sky sparkled gently producing a light glow over my pale skin, it sparkled slightly.
I gently lept from roof top to roof top finally settling on one by a music store, the city noises gradually became quiter as the humans settled down for the night.
I missed sleeping, dreaming of a world entirely made up by me, but now I had more time for other activities.
Another smile was now plastered on my face as I thought back to many encounters with members of the guard and Aro.
I jumped down into the alleyway ready to run away back to the castle stone walls of Volterra when I caught onto their thoughts.
Such a pretty little thing, I bet she's got a nice body underneath.
Lonnie was right isn't she just a picture?
It'll be good to finally get a bit of action.
I prefer blondes but a bit of brunette will do tonight.
I growled low.
Even though I was hell bent of torturing humans, it was mostly men I went for.
After all it was their fault that I almost died.
I refused to evoke the most powerful memory I kept hidden away in my mind, the one of the moments leading up to my transformation.
My blood red eyes turned darker as I stalked towards where the thoughts came from.
I longed to rip their heads from their bodies.
I could interact with humans well, they fascinated me with their lost logic and such faith in science, vampires were just a myth to them.
Blissful ignorence. I laughed lightly.
I crouched low in the dark alley and watched the scene unfold before my eyes. I racked through their boring brains ready to pick out exactly what they wanted even though I had a good idea what.
.
Whatever was nessacary. The girl looked so frightened standing there although she made no attempt to run.
Was she insane?
'Knee to groin, Punch low, Kick....' she thought. I smirked to myself, did she really think that a little girl like that could take on all of them animals? She seamed to realise this and I noticed that she was building up a big scream. It was time to put an end to this.
"Enough!" I sang as I came into view. The girl fainted.
Typical.
What was with human girls these days? Needing a knight in shing armour? Sure I was a "Knight" but I didn't wear the heavy duty metal, it was just not in fashion. Lonnie turned his grubby smile in my direction.
"Hello gorgeous. What are you doing out at this time of night...alone?" he slurred. Drunk.
I'd take her over the shabby brunette anyday, look at those knockers
"Leave her alone." I growled. I felt the venom burning in my mouth. It was weird playing a reversal of my usual role, I was so used to being the killer and not the saviour.
"Touchy are we? Kyle grab her." Lonnie said gesturing to a large dark man. I looked him up and down.
"Put your sausage fingers on me and I will tear you limb from limb." I hissed as he stepped towards me. Lonnie let out a laugh.
The moon light came over the warehouses as we spoke and the light shone on my face, my red eyes penatrating his.
I turned my body around and focused Jane's death stare onto him. My power could be incredibly useful at times.
Lonnie dropped to the floor screaming in pain, the others stared in shock. I stopped the torture and he looked at me, fear evidently clear in his eyes. I took a step forward and he cowward back.
Torture was sweet.
I looked him deep in the eyes, I saw my eyes reflected.
They were now black pools of hatred.
"Run." I whispered and all five of ran followed by Lonnie . "Come again." I added sarcasticly and a smile pulled up on my lips. I shouldn't have let them live really, but Aro would be annoyed if I put our secret at stake. I sauntered over to where the young girl lay and squatted beside her. She had a soft smell of freesia, floral even.
Simply mouthwatering...
She didn't stir as she layed in unconciousnes, she looked innocent and peaceful.
She smelt divine one bite...
Wait. I invaded her mind searching through her memories and smelt vampire.
She knew the Cullens?
I laughed softly to myself, she was very perceptive but didnt know the secret--yet. All her theories.
Comic books? Kryptonite?
I laughed again shaking my head.
She was way off.
Aro would not be best pleased if he knew.
I couldn't kill her though, Carlilse was good friends with Aro and Aro would hate to offend him, I pushed back the monster inside me that thirsted for her blood.
I sighed and stood up. I pushed the sleeve of my cloak up and read the hands that ticked.
My watch read eight forty five.
She should really get home.
I had no idea when she was going to wake up and if them disgusting creatures were to come back.
I shuddered.
Why was I shuddering? This human girl meant nothing to me. Of course i'd enjoy tearing the men limb from limb but could I really resist feasting on them? I didn't want rapist blood in my body.
I sighed again. I'd take her to the Cullen's.
I put the hood of my cloak up and pulled Bella into my stone grasp. I inhaled the dirty air once more and darted into the nearby forest ready to run.
I didn't know where their house was as Bella had not been there but I did know that it was just outside Forks, I could easily pick their scent up from there.
As I ran deep in the emerald undergrowth my feet barely touched the ground skimming it, like I was floating on air, I loved the wind as it blew in my face.
I liked fast.
Running was close second to my beautiful red Ferrari Enzo I had back at Volterra.
A smile came to my lips just thinking about it.
My baby and a gift from Aro.
It was silent now in the undergrowth and the air smelt cleaner.
Sixty two point four seconds later I picked up their scent and followed it, weaving in and out of the closely packed headgerows and in and out of the deep green trees. I rounded the last corner and was faced with a breautiful white manor house -- timeless in grace. As I slowed down I caught my foot on a branch and my heel snapped off.
"Mother Fu--" I cut myself off when I heard them talking. I slipped off my shoes and went towards the front door. Careful not to disturb the unconcious girl.
"Who is it Alice?"
"I don't know, shes blonde, red eyes, she's got Bella."
I smirked and held out my hand ready to knock the door but it had already been swung open.
"Yours I believe?" I asked gesturing to Bella. I passed her to the bronze haired male Edward in front. Everyone looked at me in shock.
"Mind reader." Edward stated and I shot him a glare. He didn't know the extent of my abilities.
"Not techniqually." I said through clenched teeth. "She needs a shower, she stinks of dog." My eyes looked over them, Edward, Carlilse, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper. Each one had soft golden eyes, pale skin and of course were absoltely breathtakingly beautiful.
I turned to leave and then my head snapped back around.
My eyes went back to Jasper and then widened.
Jasper gasped and Edward looked stunned.
"Good evening Aurora." he spoke.
I stopped breathing.
