Whoa, in the first 5 minutes of going on, I had 43 hits on the last chapter. That's kind of awesome, even though none of those hits included a review :(
Anyway, I wanna see how good this chapter is with that. You already hit this chapter so thank you! Now, onto the story. Special thanks toMyImmortal01 for my favorite review today. Everyone say thank you to MyImmortal01 because I didn't plan on updating today until I read his/her review.
Enjoy the chapter!
Previously:
Jonathan's ability is location. Once he's seen someone once and gotten a good look at their brain waves, he will be able to find them anywhere in the world. Of course, because it's technically a mental attack, it does not work on me unless I don't have my shield up, which is rare.
Bella's POV
5 years ago, that's when I was finally able to tell the others about Vampires. Though, I still wish the circumstances behind it were somewhat less menacing.
You see, Nymphadora, Jonathan, and Mariah had already been in Volterra for 10 years so we had to move. For our last little tour of Volterra, Nymphadora signed us up for a tour of the castle. She said that she had been on it about 5 times before so I really dint think about the vampire threat in this city until I opened my mind and read the minds of those around us. What I heard really made me wish I hadn't kept my mouth shut.
Apparently, there are 6 group tours going on at the same time. One of those six are chosen to die. This happens about once a month, sometimes more, sometimes less.
As soon as I realized our group was the one to die, I pulled my friends out. Unfortunately, we were found out. Felix was the one to dub us "the meal to go".
After running around the castle for a couple of hours, a vampire being around the corner every time we turn around, we started to get tiered. So, I requested an audience with Aro. Luckily, he was curious as to how I knew about them and had found our little game to be very entertaining.
"Just give it up" I sighed.
I wasn't surprised that my friends were staring at me as if I had grown another head. The only reason they didn't pull me aside and demand some answers was because we were a little preoccupied with staying alive.
"This game of cat and mouse it a little awkward when the mouse can fight back" I told him.
Aro laughed at my little comparison.
"The way I see it, we are at more risk than you" I informed him.
"Oh?" he asked, leaning forward slightly. "How is that?"
"If we were to tell humans about the existence of vampires, no one would believe us. We'd sooner be thrown into an asylum" I stated. "But, if you were to tell other vampires about my friends and me, we would suddenly be the most interesting hunt. We'd be on the top of everyone's hit list and never get a quiet day again. I've been hunted by a vampire before, it's not any fun."
"Ah, I see" Aro chuckled. "But, I'm sorry to say that we still have laws that must be upheld."
We were suddenly surrounded by snarling vampires. I was mentally slapping myself for being stupid enough to think that Volturi would fight fair.
Mariah was the first target. As soon as Jane used her power on her, I lost it. There's a good reason I keep my cool. I am the strongest, fastest, and most lethal in my group; especially when I am pissed off. And, attacking Mariah who I consider a little sister will definitely piss me off. The same can be said for Jonathan, Virgil, and Dylan.
We won that fight even though we were outnumbered. It took me a while to get myself calm enough to think strait.
Needless to say, Aro never tried to attack us again. Aro and I actually became somewhat close. More insane is that Jane and I actually get along. Apparently, they don't mind that their powers don't work on me. The opposite, actually.
So, what do you think about the "still not trusted but not completely evil" Volturi? I think I am gonna make Aro a complete kiss-up after his little stunt which will definitely put in some humor later on.
Review! As you've seen with MyImmortal01, they make me update even when I didn't plan to!
See you soon! :P
I want at least 6 reviews before I update again!
