That night Demetri just stood hidden in the trees watching the Cullen's home and listening to everything they said. Oh how he hated Edward Cullen, he wasn't exactly sure why but whenever anyone mentioned Edward, Demetri always felt a rush of hatred pulse through his cold body. Demetri had always been very loyal to the Volturi and he loved working for them, they were almost like his second family and the people he expected he would spend the rest of his life with. Demetri had always been a little jealous of Edward, though he would never admit that to anyone, as Edward was now the one that Aro, Caius and Marcus would do anything to have. Demetri new his best friend within the volturi would be happy to help him make the Cullen's extinct. 'What an idea that is' he thought as a wild smirk appeared on his face. Demetri had never found love in his lifetime either, there was always Heidi who was another member of the volturi coven but she was never to him the type of women he would like to spend eternity with. Suddenly Demetri felt a rush of thirst inside him, 'I'm definitely going to have to sort that soon' he thought to himself but his thoughts were soon interrupted by her.
Inside the Cullen's
Kate had decided not to tell Carlisle that she'd met Demetri in town, yes she was a little scared of him but it would do no good to worry everyone else, especially now Renesmee was in the picture. Kate wandered into the kitchen and grabbed a blood bag out of the fridge but of course it was animal blood seeing as she had promised herself she would never drink even a drop of human blood. She jumped up onto the sideboard and sucked on the top of the blood bag whilst squeezing in her hands. She couldn't deny that the blood felt great but Kate's excuse was that it was all down to her new vampire instincts. "You've been unusually quiet today" Emmett exclaimed as he walked over to stand next to Kate. Emmett was like the big brother that Kate had never had, the pair had completely different characters with Emmett loving every moment of his lifestyle whereas Kate hated it. "I'm fine, honestly Emmett. The past few days have just been a little crazy that's all" Kate replied. "Don't try and fob me off Kate. I can see in your face that there's something bothering you" Emmett said defiantly as he turned his back on the rest of the Cullen's in the living room. "I said I'm fine Emmett" Kate snapped. She always became protective of herself and found that she could never really manage to open up to other people about her feelings. "Im going hunting" Kate shouted as she swiftly walked outside.
Once she had stepped outside Kate immediately felt that she was being watched. She slowly did a 360 degree turn whilst scanning through the trees but she couldn't see anything or anyone. "Stop being so daft" Kate said to herself "It's probably just a rabbit". Kate started at a slow jog through the trees as she rather enjoyed the wind travelling through her long brown hair but then suddenly she heard the throbbing of a pulse with her super sensitive hearing. Kate slowly walked up onto a ledge to where she could a deer stood below. Its ears were upright and Kate could tell it new she was there. Kate softly jumped down off of the ledge and crept up behind the dear, "I'm really really sorry" she whispered to it. Kate stopped walking and bent down into a crouching position ready to pounce on the deer and counted '3…2…1' inside her hear but just as Kate was ready to launch herself at the dear the birds in the trees above her rapidly flew out of the branches making the deer sprint of into the trees before Kate could get to it. "No no no" Kate sighed as she stamped her foot on the ground. She never had got to grips with this whole hunting thing. Kate heard light footsteps behind her and instantly tightened her fists before spinning round, "Emmett what the hell are you…..YOU!?" she shouted as she realised it wasn't actually Emmett standing in the trees, it was Demetri. "You really do need more practice at that don't you" he as he leaned against one of the trees. "What do you want?" Kate snarled. "Well that's not a very polite way to speak to a visitor is it Katie Kat" the dangerous looking vampire said as he circled around her. "I must admit even I found those nicknames you and Rachael, was it? Have for each other". Demetri let out a light laugh as he continued to taunt Kate. "She looked very tasty your friend, I definitely wouldn't say no to a bite of her neck". Kate took one look at Demetri and snarled before she flung her body at him in order to attack him but unfortunately he was too quick for her. Demetri grabbed Kate by the wrist and spun her round in front of him, pinning her up against the tree behind. "I really wouldn't have done that if I were you" Demetri said as he moved his face further towards Kate's so that she could feel his cold breath on her skin. "So what are you going to do about it huh? I mean if you wanted me to be dead you would have snapped my neck by now right?". Kate could instantly tell she had touched a nerve within Demetri as the smirk on his lips soon disappeared. "The only reason your still standing is because Aro believes you may be of some use to him". A look of horror instantly crossed Kate's chalky face, what could Aro possibly want with her?. "Some use to him? What do you mean I may be of some use to him?". Demetri instantly repeated that ever so smug smirk as he noticed Kate's breathing quicken. "Well I suppose he believes you have the right attitude to become a member of the Volturi seeing as you tried to stop that idiot in Volterra from exposing himself". Kate laughed a little before answering "You think I did that to protect the monstrous vampire race? Well you couldn't be more wrong! I did that because I wanted to help that human; I did it because I absolutely detest the thought of drinking the life away from an innocent human but now were back on that subject why didn't you kill me there and then?". Inside, Kate was panicking like crazy but her teachers always said she was a good actress. "I didn't kill you because I didn't think you'd done anything wrong. I also find you rather intriguing" Demetri answered as he twirled Kate's hair around his finger, clearly finding satisfaction in teasing her. Kate looked up into Demetri's eyes and saw that for once they weren't raging red they were in fact a calm amber colour. She also couldn't help notice the little dimples in the corners of his mouth, she'd always been a sucker for guys with dimples but Kate quickly looked down at the floor feeling embarrassed by the thoughts inside her head. Demetri took his attention away from Kate's face and looked to the side into the trees. "Such a shame we couldn't carry on this little chat" he said as he looked back at Kate, "but I think we'll be seeing each other again very soon". Demetri stepped back away from Kate and instantly disappeared into the night.
Kate stood against the tree feeling relieved that he'd let her go even though something in the back of her mind made told her he would never hurt her. Suddenly Emmett and Alice appeared through the trees and rushed over to her. "Are you okay?" Alice said as she instantly pulled Kate into a tight hug. "Im going to rip him apart when I get my hands on him" growled Emmett from behind Alice. "No, honestly Emmett I really am fine, I don't think her ever intended to hurt me".
