They awaken today as newborn vampires, hopefully the rest of the vampire world will be ready for the newborn Isabella, Jessica, Angela, and Charlie. This starts off in Diana's P.O.V, then goes to Bella as she realizes just how good it feels to be a vampire.
I don't own Twilight.
Enjoy!
Three days later:
Diana's P.O.V.:
The three days were up, the screams had died down and the heartbeats were getting faster and faster until…they stopped. The change had completed, and now they would awaken no doubt thirsty. I had blood waiting for them, animal and human just in case Bella still wanted to go the way of the Cullens since she did respect them a little, and by little I mean her respect for them was about the size of a pencil dot.
However the mere taste of blood would not satisfy them, they would wish to hunt live kill eventually. So I would have to go back to one of my oldest ways of controlling themselves around the humans should Bella want to go out at night like the others. That would wait though, for now I had to see how they would handle their first few days as newborns; even though it could take months for them to obtain full control, there was a chance to get them stable enough for their thirst.
"They are awake milady." Deidre came to me in my private quarters. "The blood is ready as well."
"Excellent, let's go." We left towards the deep parts of the castle, through the stone halls and listening to the slight growls coming from the other end. I slowly opened the door, and there they sat on the same beds they had been placed in now as newborn vampires.
"Milady." Aro greeted me, Marcus and the other mates stood by the girls.
"Aro, how are you girls?" they all looked at me with their new bright red eyes.
"Fine…" Bella.
"Wow…" Jessica.
"Double wow…" Angela.
"Oh forgive me girls you must be thirsty, I have blood waiting for you now would you prefer animal or human?" they looked at me with those glazed eyes, clearly thirsty and ready to sink their teeth into something.
"I'll try animal first." Bella.
"Us too." Jessica and Angela answered after.
"Deidre if you will." Deidre bowed and left quickly, then came back with a large, covered bucket of fresh blood from raw deer meat; a lot of raw deer meat. "This is deer blood, I must warn you it has a strange taste so if you don't like it then we can switch to human blood." They nodded and Deidre slowly uncovered the bucket, took out three cups and filled them to the top.
"Princess." She handed Bella the first and she sipped it down fast. "Ladies." She handed the other two cups over and they drank the blood down in no time.
"How is it?" I asked and they looked up again.
"It's…it's good." Bella answered and the other two nodded in agreement.
"Would you like more?"
"Please."
"Deidre give them the bucket." The bucket went in front of them and soon enough it was empty. I didn't expect that, but they were just starting out.
"Milady, Prince Charles has been given his blood." Joseph called from outside the door. "He wishes to see his daughter."
"Send him in." I heard him leave and walked closer to Bella as Marcus held her. "How do you feel principesse?" she looked at me and her little gaze had ended.
"Strange…but good." She smiled.
"You'll feel much better soon cara mia." Marcus whispered kissing her head.
"You look amazing Angela." Demetri held onto the girl and she giggled as he kissed her cheek.
"You're so beautiful Jess, so angelic." Jessica giggled too. "Those eyes suit you."
"Thank you Felix." She kissed his nose.
"Alright save that for later." I turned to see Charlie, looking so much better than the girls right now, standing in the doorway.
"Dad…how do you feel?" Bella.
"Better than before Bells, all the pains and aches I had as a human are gone. Now I feel like I haven't drank anything in days."
"What blood did you drink?" I asked.
"Animal, but man…it tasted weird."
"It's supposed to dad, but I feel fine."
"We do too." Angela.
"I'm glad you all seem to be adjusting to your thirst, now before we try anything would you like to test your newfound strength and speed?"
"I would." Bella.
"Us too." Everyone else answered and I smiled.
"Great, follow me." I turned around letting them stand before I walked off. We were going into a special room where I had my guards train and test their skills after they had joined me, this was also a room to train for a battle in case a war would start. The large doors opened, and inside was a room redesigned like the coliseum.
"Wow…" I heard them say.
"This room is designed to train our newest members, so we'll use it to test out your skills." I ran to the side where my little watch area was, and folded my hands under my chin. "Now, let's start with speed. Each of you just run around the arena ten times and stop, but keep count." They all nodded and got into position.
"Alright, one, two, three, GO!" Galen shouted and all four newborns ran running up dust everywhere. I could see past the dust and I saw Bella being chased by the rest.
'Very good.' Behind her were Jessica, Charlie, and Angela but they were close. Or it could go the other way seeing as in a circle it was hard to tell and there were no finishing lines.
Soon enough they stopped, and voila they all stood tall and amazed at their new speed.
"THAT WAS AMAZING!" Jessica shrieked so loud I had to cover my ears, that and the walls of the arena shook and cracked.
"OW!" Aro held his ears as well, along with most of the others except Bella.
"What what'd I do?" Jessica looked around confused. Then an idea struck me.
"Jessica, you just screeched and it made everyone's eardrums pop." I heard Felix say.
"I have an idea, everyone cover your ears." They did so. "Jessica I want you to scream as loud as you can, don't hold back." I covered my ears, and Jessica let out the loudest scream I had ever heard in all my years. The walls shook violently and the ceiling started cracking, I felt the pressure of the scream through my body and I think I saw a brick fall from the top of the arena.
"STOP!" the scream stopped and I saw Caius come through the door. "What the hell is that screaming we can hear it all the way upstairs?"
"Forgive me Caius, but it seems we've just discovered Lady Jessica's new ability." I ran down to the crowed. "It seems she has an incredible power with her voice, and the venom has increased her vocal cords."
"Well Jessica was always one to speak her thoughts, and she was loud even in school." Angela.
"So…my voice is better than before?" Jessica.
"Indeed so, just don't scream a lot because it looks like you almost brought down the arena." I pointed to all the spots that were damaged from the sounds and her eyes widened. "Looks like we'll have to train you to use that voice."
"Wow, awesome."
"Does this mean the rest of us can have powers like that?" Charlie asked.
"Not entirely, some vampires have gifts based on their personalities as humans. Sometimes they have a slight hint of that gift in their human life but not all vampires have extra powers. In the meantime let's test your newfound strength as well." I ran back to my spot and dragged Aro, Marcus, Felix, and Demetri up with me. "We're going to drop some heavy objects down, and we'll see how you handle them."
"What's going to drop?" Bella.
"Metals, large tree pieces, wrecking balls, anything the average human cannot lift on their own. Are you ready?" they exchanged looks then nodded. "And drop!" my hand moved and objects fell everywhere. About twenty different objects fell, but the main ones caught were the metals and it seemed Angela was pleased with her strong arms, since she was crushing the metal in her hands. Bella and Jessica were doing the same, while Charlie was crushing them under his feet.
This was impressive, I knew newborns were stronger than normal vampires for a limited time but this was actually intriguing.
"Done!" Bella looked up at me. "Is that all?" I shook my head.
"Not yet dear, there's something else I want to test out." I turned to Aro. "Would you?" he bowed.
"As you wish milady." He moved down to them, held out his hand to Bella and she took it. They stood like that for several moments, and then he turned back to me. "I cannot see her thoughts my queen. It is as we thought."
"Isabella is a mental shield, so we will test it out but that will come later. For now I want all of you to try and maintain your thirst, so if you feel the need to drink more blood then let the guards know. You're free to go with your mates."
"Mates?" Charlie near shouted.
"She's kidding dad, she means we're free to go with our men."
"I don't have a man Bells." I laughed.
"Then you can leave with the others Charlie, now I'll be checking on you all tonight. Tomorrow we'll do more training, off you go." They all bowed/curtsied and left the arena. I followed Aro out with Caius and we headed straight to a private room.
"The change went well." Caius.
"Indeed so brother."
"I am glad this has gone well, those four will do excellent as vampires." I sighed a bit, now that the change was complete the only thing left was to let them know their mates more and marry them. We had time though, they've been in Rome for nearly two months and the Cullens would not be a problem.
"Those three couples are a match made in heaven itself." Aro smiled. "Now…what are we going to do about Charlie? Does he have a mate as well my queen?" I nodded.
"He does, but she will wait until her senses return." I winked and they seemed to understand.
This was going to be fun.
Bella's P.O.V.:
This was mind boggling, I was a newborn vampire and I felt like I was walking on air with every step. I felt stronger, my sight was clearer, my senses all enhanced, I wasn't clumsy anymore, and as I looked into a mirror down the hall I couldn't believe what I saw.
A woman with unbelievable beauty, someone I didn't recognize staring back at me. It took me a few moments, but then I realized it was my reflection.
"You look beautiful cara mia." I heard Marcus whisper in my ear and his hands on my shoulders.
"Thank you Marcus." He kissed my cheek. "I feel so…so alive." He laughed.
"You are alive, in more ways than one my Bella." I turned around in his arms and snuggled my face into his chest. It felt better, being here as a vampire princess, in the arms of the man who truly loved me and would always be here for me. I sighed, and looked up at him seeing a slightly worried expression in his eyes. "What's wrong?"
"It's just so odd…Edward always treated me like a glass doll, but you treat me as if I'm made of stone. I mean you treat me no different than a human woman…oh wait no that's not right…" he laughed lowly and put a finger to my lips.
"I understand, you are not fragile; you are strong, and you are my mate. I will not treat you so delicately unless you wish it, you are a woman not a trophy that needs to be polished every hour." He hugged me again. "You are my beloved princess, my one true mate."
"Yes." I smiled and let him hold me closer.
"The Cullens were wrong to leave you, but me…" he tilted my chin up. "I will never leave you, I would rather be dead than abandon the one that keeps me moving forward. You are my everything, and you always will be."
"Oh Marcus." I reached up and kissed his lips, wrapped my arms around his neck and our bodies mingled together as we held each other close. This was far better than I had hoped, I had my family, my friends and more all with me here in Rome.
This was the start of something new, the start of my new life as the vampire princess. And soon enough it would be the start of me becoming the wife of Marcus, the possible future queen of the vampires.
That would all start right here, right now.
My life, and mine alone.
I hope this makes up for the last chapter.
The next one will have a time skip, maybe just a couple of days so it gives the new vampires time to pull themselves together, and possible new powers for Charlie and Angela. Now I have a mate in mind for Charlie, but it's not Victoria I'll say that now and it may kick off in the next one.
Or if I will I may just mate him with a made up character, it depends cuz I'm still thinking on it. I may also bring a call in from Jacob in, but I'm still undecided.
R&R
Later!
