Chapter 2 A Change of Pace
Bella POV- 1968
As I lay back against the belly of Taria Țineți (TT; Taria; Țineți; or Neți for short), the young black bear who had joined my company about 3 years ago, I gazed up at the clear night sky as I stroked the head of Puțin Dubhkettu (Kett for short), the beautiful black male fox who had entered my company about 6 years ago, Kett lay curled into a ball on my stomach with his tail over his nose as he slept. My two wolves lay on eather of my sides, also sleeping, and Lytrina (Lyly; Trina; Lytri; or Rina for short), the female Canadian lynx who had been in my company for 8 years, was curled up next to my shoulder as I thought back to what got me, us, here.
It has been roughly 40 years since that man had made me what I am. My Siria had died 20 years after I found her. I was suprised she lived that long, but I wasn't complaining. A year before she died she gave birth to a litter of 4 puppies, 3 boys and a girl. Once they were 2 years old most of them left, well all but the little girl, who I named Anarah. That was 19 years ago.
10 years ago, when Anarah was 11 years old she gave birth to a litter of puppies, almost all of which were still borns, all but 2, a pair of twins all white with black tipped ears, paws, and tails, one male and one female. When the twins were 4 Anarah died defending them from a hungry mountain lion wile I was out hunting. I buried her and have been raising the twins for 5 years. I named the male Lupinima (Lupin for short {Author's note: Yeah, I know, Harry Potter referance, didn't even do it on purpose}), which ment Wolfhearted in Romanian. I named the female Álainn Mac Tíre (Álainn or Mac for short), which ment Beautiful wolf in Irish.
8 years ago, Anarah was still alive and Lupin and Álainn were only 3, I had went hunting in Canada and had killed a lynx. It was only after she was dead that I realized she was a mother. Cowering in some bushes not far from where I was the little 1 and a half year old female lynx kit was hidden. I brought her back home and named her Lytrina, which was the name of one of my best friends when I was in school, her favorite animal was the lynx.
6 years ago, when Lupin and Álainn where only about a month away from turning 6, and Rina was 3, the four of us were hunting when we came upon a young male black fox, only a few months old if even, who was curled beside his dead mother who, from the scents around her, was killed by a coon. I took him with us and named him Puțin Dubhkettu, his name ment Little Blackfox.
3 Years ago Kett, Álainn, Lupin, Rina and I were bathing in the river when I, with my hightened hearing, heared what sounded like a fight. I took off in the direction of the sound with Kett, Alainn and Lupin hot on my tail. When we got there we saw 3 different black bears in a clearing. One full grown male, one full grown female and one female cub. The female was trying to protect her cub from the male, and she was loosing. Seconds before the male struck her down her eyes met mine, "Save her." they said. I nodded and quickly scooped up the shaking bundle of fur as the male landed the killing blow to the female. In my anger I gave the young cub to Alainn and I killed the male bear. We burried the female out of respect and, after skinning the male for his fur and letting Kett, Alainn and Lupin eat their fill, we all made our way back to the cave.
I named the young cub Taria Țineți, Taria was another name that I remembered from my story book, like Siria, Taria was elvish, it ment Onyxshadow, which basically ment black. Țineți ment Bear in Romanian. So her name ment Onyxshadow Bear, or black bear. I became the protector of Neți, Lupin, Kett, Rina, and Álainn, and, as they grew bigger, they became mine, even if I didn't need it. Álainn and Lupin were now 10 years old and fully grown, Lupin was slightly larger than his sister, on all fours he came up to my waist. Álainn only came up to my hips. Kett, who was now just a month and a half shy of 6, was about as big as a year old house cat. His spot was usually on my shoulder with his tail curled around my neck. Neți, who was now roughly 3 and a half years old, was a full 6 inches taller than me when she was on all fours, And Rina was about two thirds the size of the twins.
I was brought out of my memories by the low warning growls comming from Neți, Álainn, Lupin, Kett, and Rina. I sniffed the air and went into an immediate crouch. The wind carried several unfamiliar scents. I knew they were other vampires (I had long since figured out what I was) because they lacked the sweet smell of blood that any other creature would have possessed. When they came into the clearing I almost chuckled. How this must look to them. A young vampire, wearing a one strapped top that barly covered her breasts and a skirt that only came down to mid-thigh, both made of bear skin, a necklace made out of bear and moutain lion fangs (because if I was gonna do it, I was gonna do it right), and an anklett made out of a strip of wolf skin, crouching on the roof of a cave with a growling black fox on her shoulder, two wolves on eather of her sides with their hackles raised, a big black bear standing behind her growling and a Canadian lynx standing infront of her hissing and growling.
There were 4 of them. All dressed in the same black outfit, except for the smallest one, who wore a black dress rather than black trousers and black button down dress shirts, and black cape with a hood. They all removed their hoods and I got a good look at them. The female was almost as young as me phyiscally. Her blond hair was up in a tight bun and she wore a scowl. The boy to her left was probably the same age as her and I. He had light brown hair that curled slightly at the nape of his neck. He too seemed to wear a scowl, though a slightly less frightening one.
The vampire to the right of the female was also young. If I was 14 I would guess him to be perhaps 16 or 17 if even. He had short dusty blonde hair that only just barly brushed down his forhead. His expression was one of amusment, boredom, and slight curiousity. The fourth vampire stood behind the three children. He was much older, probably around 25 or 26. He was massive in size and he reminded me of the male black bear that had killed Neți's mother. He had black hair that was parted down the middle and made him look like he was wearing a toupee. The feature that stood out the most was their red eyes. My eyes had turned golden within a year of being a vampire. The youngest boy spoke then.
"We didn't mean to startle you young one. We mean no harm, we were simply passing through when we caught your scent, we were curious." My eyes widened, it had been 40 years since I had heard anyone besides my companions speak to me. Neți growled Isa, I don't trust them. I nodded, if my companions didn't trust them neather would I. I think we should give them a chance, all they are is curious after all. Rina argued. Lupin, Kett and Álainn growled their agreement. I finally nodded and moved out of my crouch, Lupin and Álainn sat down as did Rina. Neți curved slightly so that most of her body was still behind me but her front half was now beside me, it was what she did when she wanted to protect me. I scowled at her. "Neți behave." I scolded her, our visitors all but forgotten for the moment. "Lupin, Kett, Rina and Álainn all agreed to atleast let them speak before we try to attack." She huffed and moved back behind me but didn't sit. Kett was now laying across my shoulder with his tail around my neck. I looked back at our visitors, all of which were looking at me in suprise.
"My name is Isabella, but I go by Isa now. These are my companions and friends, this is Taria Țineți, we call her Neți for short." I said, pointing to myself and then Neți. "This is Lupinima, or Lupin for short, and his sister Álainn Mac Tíre, who we call Álainn." I continued, placing a hand on Lupin's head first, and then Álainn's. "This is Puțin Dubhkettu, who we call Kett." I said, patting Kett's head and smiling lightly. "And that is Lytrina, who we call Rina." I finished, pointing to Rina, who was still at my feet.
The boy spoke again. "Erm.. my name is Alec, this is my sister Jane, and our covenmates Felix and Demetri." He explained, pointing to himself, then the girl, then the big guy behind them and the other boy on the other side of the girl. "We are part of the Volturi." I tilted my head. "Volturi? Never heard of ya." All four seemed taken aback. "Isa, where is your creator?" I frowned. "Creator?" Alec sigh. "The one who turned you into a vampire." I growled then. "I don't know and I don't care. He almost drained me but he stopped suddenly and left me to burn in the middle of the forest, when I woke I was alone. I killed the first thing I came in contact with, Lupin and Álainn's great grand mother. I then saw their grandmother, Siria, who was only a pup at the time. I raised Siria who died only a year after giving birth to a litter of puppies. Lupin and Álainn's mother, Anarah, was the only female of that litter. I raised her untill she died defending the twins. I came upon the others over time. I was changed 40 years ago." I said through gritted teeth.
My companions were all growling again and I hummed softly so they would calm down. All 4 of the red eyed vampires looked pissed. Alec spoke again. "The Volturi are the rulers of the vampire world. We creat and enforce the laws. What your creator did to you is against the law, and punishable by death, to leave a human wile in the middle of a change and let them fend for themselves, though it seems you've done an excelent job on your own." His eyes wandered over my companions before landing back on me. "If you don't mind, we would like for you to come with us to Volterra, the home of the Volturi."
All of my companions started growling and hissing. NO!- Kett; Stay away from her!-Neți ; Don't take her from us!- Álainn and Lupin; I'll die before I let you take her!- Rina. I sigh. "Guys calm down." I looked at Alec. "Only if my companions can come with, I am all they know, as I have raised each and every one of them, and they are all I have come to know, I could not bare to part with them, they are all the family I have left." I looked pointedly at Alec and then Jane, hoping that they, being siblings, would understand. Felix bristled and growled. "How dare you make demands!" He hissed and took a step forward. Before he could take another step all of my companions had moved from the roof of our cave to infront of him. Neți faced him head on with Álainn and Lupin flanking her. Rina was standing on Neți's back wile Kett stood on Lupin's, all of them were snarling at him. I knew he could easily move past them if he wanted, but he stopped short, seeming suprised that they would protect me like that. I chuckled softly and jumped from the roof, landing gracefully on my feet I stalked forward, walking inbetween Neți and Lupin.
I stopped next to her and placed a hand on her head to calm her. I smirked at the male. "Like I said, they are family, we look after eachother, and we would sooner die than be separated." I snarled out at him. He snarled and got right up in my face. "I don't take orders from little girls!" he hissed. I snorted. "Really? Because I'm pretty sure that, compared to you Jane is a little girl, and you seem to take orders from her just fine." I heard the tinkling of female laughter and my lips twiched, good to know I'm on her good side, somthing about her just screamed dangerous. Felix snarled and was about to say somthing else when Jane spoke. "Felix!" she snapped. He jumped and turned to look at her. She was glaring. "Step away from the girl." He growled but did as he was told and I snorted and turned my attention to Jane. "May I please take them with?" She smiled kindly, "Of course. One more question before we leave though, how old are you physically?" I smiled. "I was turned on my 14th birthday." She grinned. "Same age as me and my brother."
~In Volterra several hours later~
I was riding on Neți's back as our group made it's way through the forest to Volterra. It amused me greatly that they had to land their plane in the middle of the forest so that people wouldn't see a bear, 2 wolves, a black fox, a Canadian lynx and a forest woman come off the plane. Alec, Jane, Demetri and Felix wern't running as fast as they could, they needed for the rest of us to be able to keep up. Finally we came upon the castle. I slid off of Neți's back as they led us through the hallways. The scent of vampires hit me like a train. After being secluded for so long, it was strange to be surrounded by so many unfamiliar scents.
Finally they showed us into the 'Throne Room'. Seated in the 3 thrones were 3 different vampires. The one on the left was probably the eldest both physically and chronologically, physically I would guess him to be about 50, give or take. He had long black hair that fell past his shoulders. His face held an almost sickly look to it, and he seemed so sad, as if someone had ripped his heart from his chest, I found myself wishing I could take away his pain. He reminded my of the grandfather I had all but forgotten from my human life. The man in the middle was slightly frightening. Physically I would guess him to be about early to mid 40s. He too had long black hair but his face held an expression like that of a child in a toy store. Finally the one on the right. He was the youngest physically, at about only 19 or 20. He was also the most handsome of the 3. He had blonde hair that just barly swept his shoulders.
Though he wore a scowl that was simular to what Jane wore when we first met, it made him just that much more handsome. His red eyes were not frightening like I knew they should have been, they looked... right.. on him. Finally the one in the middle spoke. "Hello dear one." His voice was light and airy and it made me want to shudder. "My name is Aro, these are my brothers, Marcus, and Caius." He motioned first to the sad one, and then to the handsome one. "What a pleasure it is to have you here in Volterra, it is always nice to have new guests." He exlaimed as he walked over to me and placed his hand, palm up, infront of me. I looked at it questioningly. Don't touch his hand Isa, I don't trust him, he could hurt you. Lupin said softly with a slight growl, all of my companions were on edge now. I looked down at Lupin. "He has no reason to hurt me Lupin, I have not broken any of their laws, Jane explained that on the way here, remember?" He huffed softly and I turned back to old, dark and creepy.
He had an expression of curiousity. Gramp Vam had a simular expression as he looked from me to my companions, then from me to old, dark and creepy, then from me to sexy blonde, then from me to Alec, Jane, Demetri and Felix, then from me to himself, and then he repeated the process. Sexy blonde held a look of boredom, but his eyes held curiousity as he studied me. Old, dark and creepy cleared his throat. "Forgive me dear one, may I have your hand for just a moment?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "Why?" He seemed taken aback for a moment and sexy blonde smirked. Old, dark and creepy recovered. "I would like to read your soul. It is a power I have. But I must be touching you for it to work." I didn't quite trust him but I placed my hand in his anyways. His face flickered between emotions, from anger to happyness, to saddness, back to happy, to amusment, to suprise, to anger, back to amusment before he let my hand go.
"Remarkable. It seems that our young Isa has a gift. She can speak to animals. I also suspect that she has a few more gifts, she knew that Jane was dangerous without even knowing who Jane was. And also, young Isa, I'm not that old, and I'm not creepy... Am I?" I looked at him in horror, he heard that? That means that he heard me calling his brother sexy too. He gave me a knowing smile and I burried my face into Neți's neck fur. As I did that old, dark and creepy went over to Gramp Vamp and held out his hand. Gramp Vamp took it and let creepy (There I shortened it) read him. When creepy was finished he looked back at me and grinned. "Jane, Alec, Demetri, Felix, can you please come stand next to Isa." The four of them did as they were told and creepy looked at us all.
"Dear Isa, Marcus, or as you call him Gramp Vamp," The vampire in question, Marcus, raised an eyebrow as creepy continued, "Has a gift, like myself, and like you and many of the others in the coven. Marcus can see the bonds between any 2 living creatures if there is a bond to be seen. He has seen a sibling bond between you and your pe.. companions." I growled when he started to say the word pets. He cleared his throat and continued. "He sees a sibling bond between you and Jane as well. He sees a family bond between himself and you, one simular to a grandparent to a grandchild." He smiled abit as he said this. "He sees a very weak family bond between you and myself, one simular to a parent and child." I raised an eybrow at that but he didn't seem to notice. "Between you and Felix there is a bond that is very much like that between two friends who just got into a fight, what that means is that the bond between the two of you could go eather way at this moment, it could become friendly, or it could become that of enemies." He explained.
"Finally, and most intrestingly, is the bonds between you, Alec, Demetri and Caius, or as you prefer to call him," creepy gave a wry smirk as he spoke the next words. "Sexy blonde." I groaned and burried my face back into Neți's neck fur. "The bonds between yourself and these three males are all that of a mating bond." I looked up at him. "What?" He smiled. "It means that Alec, Demetri, and Caius are all your soul mates." My jaw dropped. "You've got to be fucking kidding me!" Someone shouted, oh wait, that was me.
Edward POV- 1968
I had been back with Carlisle for 40 years. We had 4 new members, Rose, Emmett, Alice and Jasper. Alice annoyed me, for the first 10 years I couldn't do any planning because of her stupid visions. I finally figured out how to get around it though. Now it was time to put my plan into action. I would call up my contacts and have them search for her. Once they found her location I would go there and claim her, simple as that. I already had the Egyptian coven searching for me as well as the nomad, Alistair, and the nomadic coven I had ran into about 6 years ago, Victoria, James and Laurent.
I would have my mate back, she was mine, and only mine. I will kill anyone who tries to get inbetween us. I don't care what it takes, she will be mine. I cringed as I drained a 3rd moutain lion. Carlisle had been elated when I came back. I hated the animal diet, but he didn't know that. As soon as I get my mate back I'm going back to killing and feeding from humans.
Once I got back to the house I frowned at what I heard. Jasper was singing a country song in his head wile Alice was thinking about shoes. Everyone else's thoughts seemed normal, but our newest members were not. I went straight to their room and saw that they were packing. "You guys going somewhere?" Jasper didn't even glance up, he didn't like me very much. Alice answered for him. "One of Jasper's war buddies just called, We're going to visit them for a little wile." I didn't even bother to hide my discust from him. Jasper knew how I felt about his past, and I let him know at every opertunity I got. "Well have fun." I muttered.
Jasper POV- 1968
I was so happy to have found my mate, but why she brought me here I'll never know. That asshat Edward was a pain. He didn't even try to hide his distast for my past. But being here made my Alice happy, so I would stay. Edward had left to hunt about an hour ago when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and smirked. Opening it I answered with a, "Whats up Fucker?" I heard Peter snicker softly. "Look Jazzy boy, my voices are tellin me that you and your mate got to get down here pronto." I frowned. "What's going on?" He sigh. "Eddy boy is off his rocker that's what's going on. You remember Bella?" I sigh. "Your twin sister from your human life, she disappeared on your guys' 14th birthday right?" He sigh.
"Yeah. Turns out a vamp got her. Your Eddy boy." I growled softly as I started packing wile holding the phone to my ear with my shoulder. "He drained her?!" He hissed. "No. He was going to but he turned her instead. She was his singer, and he thought that ment she was his mate. He left her to change and was going to go back an hour before she was suppost to wake. But she only burned for 2 days instead of 3, so when he got there, she was gone." I growled softly at that as Alice walked in and silently started packing. "So why are your voices only tellin ya this now?" I heard him sigh. "Because Eddy boy is setting his plan to find her into motion, and I need ya'll here." I growled, that asshat!
"Did your voices tell ya where she is?" I heard him running his fingers through his hair as he answered. "She's in Volterra, she's found her mates there, but Eddy is still gonna try gettin her." I growled again and was about to ask him for more info when he growled. "Eddy's commin back, block your thoughts and get here soon!" and with that he hung up. So, Peter's twin sister Bella is still alive. I chuckled softly as I started singing country in my head. They wouldn't look much like twins now. He was turned at 20, she was turned at 14. That would be an intrestin reunion.
