Chapter 3 04:40
I strode through Volterra in my "reveal" state. It's not when I wear a Playboy bunny suit, it's when I wear the clothes that change according to my hunger. When I'm hungry, my eyes are red, flecked with gold. When I'm full, they're purple, with silver.
I opened the doors with a flick of my hands. The whole hall froze, mid-judgment. Alec was standing in the middle of the room, staring at me, horrified. I stood behind his shoulder.
"Alec! My favorite snack!" I whispered gleefully. He clenched his hands.
"Have you seen the colour of my eyes today?" I switched shoulders as he slowly shook his head.
"It means…" I dropped my voice even lower, "I'm hungry"
"That's enough for today." The voice boomed across the room. "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with you food?"
"Aro! Long time no see!"
"What do you want?"
"I know! Let me show you!"
I put a hole in my shield around my request and Aro took my hand.
"Oh no. NO! What were you thinking?"
"Are you a mind reader or not? You know perfectly well what I was thinking."
"Huh? What?" Marcus asked, confused.
"She wants to be part of the Volturi."
"Of course she can be part of the guard. Look at her!"
"No, Marcus, she wants to be one of us."
" What!" Caius spluttered.
"Well, I should be. I am older, more experienced. I don't want to be a figurehead; I want to be a decision-maker. Besides, I know things. Like, who your creator was." I brought a picture of me to mind and put my hand on his.
"GET HER!" he yelled. I jumped onto a fresco and dropped a piece of plastic down.
"And we getting on so nicely. TTFN!" Then I shot a fireblast into the ceiling and dropped to the ground.
I climbed into my car and drove away.
