Since you guys liked Amelia's character so much, I decided to give you her backstory! Here's just the first part. There will be more, I promise! I have a year to fill in between Demetri meeting Amelia and Hekate meeting Amelia.

Amelia Allan is physically modeled after Lilly Singh, the YouTuber, while she is also gift-based on Amy Allan from Dead Files.

Amelia sighed as she leaned on the counter, reading the newspaper that someone just dropped off. There had been another murder last night, the poor girl having been ripped to shreds. The bobbies think it was another animal attack. Amelia didn't believe that for a minute, but any manner of creatures could be responsible.

"Lia, there's nothing you could have done to save her." Lily walked into the store, carrying two coffee cups in her hands. One was tea, for Lily, and the other was coffee, for Amelia.

Amelia sighed as she took the coffee, wrapping her hands around the warm cup. "Thanks, aunt Lily." She then shook her head, looking down at the newspaper. "Maybe I could… I've never really learned offensive spells or magic."

Lily frowned as she ran her fingers over some sad looking flowers, making them burst back to life. "You've never needed to, Lia. Your magic has always excelled with the more psychic areas."

Amelia watched as her aunt walked around, watering all the flowers in the store with their special water. It was blessed by them both and purified, making their flowers the best around. They grew faster, looked healthier, stayed healthier and alive longer than any other. They also smelled the best of any flowers in England, as far as she knew.

Lily was the floral witch of the family. She took care of the flowers in their co-owned shop, Amaryllis, in Brighton, England where they lived. As far back as Amelia could remember, whenever Lily went anywhere, all the plant life seemed to grow and flourish.

Calla, Amelia's mother and Lily's twin, was a weather and kitchen witch. Calla's moods influenced the weather if she didn't keep her magic in check. She could wish for a storm and a storm would roll in. If she wanted sunshine then the sin would shine, the clouds breaking apart. Calla also used magic in her everyday activities. She put magic in cleaning and cooking, as well as her work as a lawyer.

Amelia's grandmother was an elemental witch, which is how Calla and Lily had nature-based magic. Witches powers weren't always influenced by genetics, but they could be, like her family. Amelia got her special kind of magic from her great-grandmother. She was a medium and psychic as well.

Amelia could not only see ghosts, but she could talk to them, feel what they felt, see how they died and feel their energies. Since she was also a physical medium, ghosts and other beings could affect her physically. They could use her voice, take control of her actions and thoughts or fully take control of her. This was dangerous which is why Amelia always had protections in place. The other part of Amelia's powers was psychic. She could use tarot cards to learn about the past, present and future. She never got visions, but she could use pendulums and scrying mirrors to some success.

Amelia flicked her wrist, making sure the front door was locked. She then leaned over the counter, bringing out her bag. She pulled out her black, silk cloth that she used when divining. She prayed to Hecate as she found her tarot deck, rubbing the cards. She felt her magic melding with the magic embedded in the cards. She felt the peace from praying and meditating in her soul, as well as the lightning in her veins from magic and her goddess. She kept her eyes closed as she shuffled and cut the deck. She didn't open her eyes until she dealt the cards in an L formation, laying down five cards for a morning reading. She did this every morning to better understand her dreams from the night before as well as what the day held for her.

Amelia opened her eyes, her dark hand waving over the cards. Her light-brown eyes were taking in the cards, coming up with their meanings in relation to the layout. She flung her black braid back over her shoulder, humming as she touched the cards briefly.

The first card, about her dreams the night before, was the two of cups in the upright position. She contemplated the card, remembering her dream. For the past week she had dreams about a blank faced man who called out to her. She never heard what he said but knew he was yelling for her. She could feel her heart reaching out to him, though.

The second card, about the energy she woke up with, was the queen of swords in the upright position. She had been feeling very perceptive and independent that morning, especially after talking to her parents earlier.

The third card, what she needed to let go of that morning, was the chariot in the reversed position. This caused Amelia to rub her temples, glancing at the newspaper to the side. That card meant she needed to let go of her lack of control. Specifically, about not being able to save the poor people being killed along the British coast. She was just a single witch, not even a very powerful one at that. She couldn't save everyone just because she wanted to. She would have to pray to Hecate to help them find peace in the afterlife, as well as help any future victims.

The fourth card, how she could have the best day possible, was the high priestess in the normal position. This meant she needed to rely on her intuition, powers and her subconscious.

The fifth card, something to be mindful of that day, was the seven of swords in the normal position. This card meant deceit and sneaky behavior.

Amelia frowned at her cards, looking up when Lily made a concerned sound in the back of her throat. "Well… Something is going to happen today."

Lily nodded her head, clutching the lilies in her hands. "You need to pray to Hecate and I will pray to Brigid."

Amelia watched as her aunt went into the back to do just that, running her fingers over the high priestess card. She sometimes wished the world didn't work in such mysterious ways.

Karina was thankful that it was another cloudy and rainy day in England. She loved this country for its notoriously bad weather, it meant she didn't have to hide inside until nightfall. Her home country of Peru was always bright and hot, which she missed but it wasn't easy to be a newborn around the populated parts of Peru. Though, trying to escape the Volturi vermin was much easier in Peru than here in England. She had barely managed to escape that bastard tracker of theirs in America.

Karina sighed as she passed by the adorable storefronts in the shopping district of Brighton, seeing her reflection in the glass. Her once dark tan skin was a few shades lighter now due to her transformation. Her black hair was perfectly wavy, falling to the small of her back. Her red eyes were hidden with brown contacts that she stole. She was trying to hide from the Volturi, not make it easier for them to find her.

Her creator was a woman Karina had fallen in love with, which she did too easily sometimes. Ophelia was a beautiful woman from America who had been traveling through Peru. They spent many nights together, making love and traveling Peru together. Ophelia spoiled her, treated her like an angel. That was until one night when Ophelia's will broke and she nearly drained Karina. In a last-ditch effort to save Karina's life, Ophelia turned her. Ophelia hid her far away from any sings of civilization to keep her transformation a secret.

All of that was wasted when Karina tried to feed for the first time. Ophelia had kidnapped a drug addict who was out of it and dying on their own. At the first taste of human blood, Karina lost it. She went on a bloody rampage across the rural towns, leaving countless bodies in her wake. Ophelia tried to keep Karina in control but couldn't. She was abducted by the Volturi guard one night, just as Karina was returning from her feeding. Karina hadn't seen or heard from Ophelia since then, assuming she was now dead.

Karina had mourned her dear lover for days, leaving Peru in her grief. She met Demetri and Felix for the first time a week later. Demetri tracked her down to a rural town in Maine somehow, despite Karina's best efforts to remain hidden. She used her newborn hearing and speed to escape them before they truly got to her. Ever since then, a week now, Demetri had been hunting her down.

Karina was brought out of her thoughts when she smelled flowers. With her new increased sense of smell she could usually smell chemicals attached to the flowers. Most florists had to use something to keep their flowers alive and healthy enough to sell. These flowers smelled clean and more fragrant than any flowers Karina has ever smelled. She turned the corner to see a beautiful little shop nestled in a corner.

'Amaryllis' was printed in a fancy script in white above the doorframe. The outside of the shop was painted an elegant black. There were pink English roses setting outside on tables, where the smell was coming from. A few people were outside and inside the store, many with bouquets in their hands. They all seemed to be hand wrapped, everyone having content smiles on their faces. In the second half of the shop was set up with 'magical' supplies and occult items. There were old books, antique glasses full of oils and 'potions'. Candles were everyone, some lit and some not. A woman was behind the counter on that side, pressing herbs and flowers together with a mortar and pestle. This woman really caught Karina's eye. This woman was absolutely gorgeous, even as a human. Karina found herself heading inside, heading towards her despite being surrounded by humans.

The woman was smiling at the customer in front of her, listening to the woman complaining about her lack of a love life. The woman had long black hair in an intricate braid, laid behind her shoulder for the moment. Her light-brown eyes sparkled in the light, showing how happy she seemed. Her skin, a bit darker than Karina's now, was beautiful. Karina could tell she was Indian, as was the other worker in the shop. She had never been to the country but if all the women were as gorgeous as this one, she would have to go there next.

"Hello, can I help you?"

Karina blinked when the beautiful woman addressed her, the other woman walking happily away with a bottle of love spell oil in her hands. Karina then smiled brightly at the woman, moving a bit closer. "I hope so. I'd love to know the name of the beautiful woman in front of me." The woman blushed, rubbing the back of her neck as she tried to subtly look Karina over. Karina noticed though, oh did she notice.

"I'm Amelia."

Karina leaned against the counter, so she was closer to Amelia. She was able to smell her much better now. The flowers almost masked it, but not up close. Amelia smelled like roses, cinnamon and something musty. It was a weird combination but a pleasant one, one which made Karina even more curious about this human. "Amelia is a beautiful name. I'm Karina."

Amelia smiled bashfully at the woman, "Thank you, I really like your name as well." She then tilted her head, looking into her eyes. "You don't have an accent, are you from here?"

Karina shook her head, placing her hand over Amelia's. She could feel how warm and delicate she was. "No, I'm from South America, bonita."

Amelia's breath caught in her throat at the touch for multiple reasons. Karina's hand was ice cold and hard, but it also gave her butterflies in her stomach. Karina was very, very attractive and obviously into her. On the other hand, Amelia had a nagging feeling in the back of her mind. She had to be careful of deceitful behavior, but so far Karina hadn't displayed that. "You must hate the dreary weather here."

Karina winked at Amelia, leaning in even closer to where she could feel Amy's breath on her face. "Oh, I could grow to love it if it meant I was with you."

Amelia nearly swooned, staring into Karina's deep brown eyes as her heart leapt up into her throat. She leaned back quickly when she saw her aunt giving her a smirk. She blushed, clearing her throat. "Well, if you need a guide around the area, give me a text." She wrote her number down on a business card, giving it to Karina.

Karina took the card from her, after kissing the back of Amelia's hand. "I will do that, bonita." Her throat burned from the increased pattern of Amelia's heartbeat, the flush of warm blood in her cheeks, the thought of sinking her teeth into her in every way possible. Oh, she was going to be staying in this city for a while.

Amelia was sitting at a local café the next day, sipping on some coffee while reading a book. It was her day off from the shop since they closed on Sundays. She usually spent her days off at home in her nice flat. She had converted the study to her own witch workshop and it made her feel safe. However, she was restless and went out for the day. She ate breakfast at a cute café near her flat, drinking coffee afterwards as she read. The rain outside the glass windows helped her relax and get absorbed into her story.

That was until her phone buzzed on the table.

Amelia picked up her phone after putting down her book, smiling at the text.

Unknown Number [9:28am]: Good morning, bonita. Are you free to do some exploring with me? I know it's a dreary day out, but I love it, almost as much as I would love to spend more time with you.

Amelia couldn't help but blush, nearly choking on her coffee. Karina was blunt and very forward but gorgeous and seemed to be sweet. Going out for the day couldn't hurt, right? It wasn't like it was at night or in private. They would be out in public.

Amelia Allan [9:31am]: Good morning! I am free today actually and that sounds lovely. I'm just finishing breakfast now; would you like to meet at the pier in fifteen minutes?

Karina [9:32am]: Sounds perfect, bonita! See you soon 3

Demetri ground his teeth as he listened to Caius over the phone, the king angry that they missed the rogue newborn again. Aro was irritated but knew Demetri would find her, he just wanted to keep the kills and publicity to a minimum. Caius was just anxious to kill the newborn, she had been causing him too much trouble in her short life as a vampire. "I understand, master." Demetri put his phone away when Caius hung up, frowning deeply. "I know she's along this side of the coast in this country, we're getting closer to the right town as well. She's stopped moving."

Felix scoffed as he drove faster, passing a slower vehicle without a second glance. "She's suddenly stopped running? Does she realize who we are?"

Demetri narrowed his eyes as he looked at his dear friend. "She knows, which is why she's tried her best to outpace me. She must have been lucky instead of smart because she just made her last mistake."

Felix nodded as he tapped the steering wheel of the car. "Though, if she's stopped in this town that may mean more trouble for us."

Demetri sighed, rubbing his temples as he felt a headache forming. "She'll be hunting more in this one city than normal, which means more publicity. I'm going to enjoy killing her." He paused when he saw the sign to the approaching city, "Oh. I think we've found her."

Felix raised an eyebrow at the name, "Brighton, England. She had to pick a tourist city."

Demetri sighed again, "She's seemed to have made it her life's purpose to make our jobs hell." He rolled his eyes when Felix laughed at his pain as if he didn't share it.

Amelia had a fantastic time with Karina on their impromptu date. They played games together in the arcade on the pier, watched the waves beating against the shore, walked along the shoreline together while holding hands, went shopping together. They ate at a nice restaurant together, Karina paying for everything.

Amelia had been with people before, she was twenty-three after all. She had invited both men and women back to her flat, so when Karina asked about her home she invited her in.

Karina looked around the main living area, a surprised expression on her angelic face. "Wow, your home is gorgeous, Amelia."

Amelia smiled at the woman, going into the kitchen and getting out a bottle of wine. "Thank you, Karina. Would you like a glass?"

Karina smiled up at the human, nodding her head. "Sure, bonita." She then placed her hands on the counter, on either side of Amelia, boxing her in. She leaned in, nuzzling her nose against her pulse point. "I'd rather have a taste of you, though." She smirked when Amelia groaned, her pulse increasing.

Amelia looked down into her brown eyes, which seemed more maroon now. "My bedroom is just d-" She was cut off when she heard a door being forced open, loudly. A second later two males were in her kitchen, glaring at Karina. Amelia felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up as she saw their red eyes. She looked back at Karina only to gasp loudly. Karina's maroon eyes were now bright red, her teeth bared at the men and growling. She was growling at them. "What the fuck!?"

Demetri didn't look at the human, focused on the rogue vampire who had her pinned. "Back away from her now, Karina."

Felix cracked his neck, smirking at her as he punched his fist into his open palm. "You're not getting away this time."

Karina smirked at them, leaning forward and licking Amelia's neck, kissing right over her pulse point. "If you don't want another body on your hands, you should let me go."

Amelia's body froze but her mind was screaming. She got fooled by a vampire for fucks sake. The tarot cards warned her! All those little things about Karina that she ignored, they made sense now. Karina's skin was ice cold and hard like marble. She hardly seemed to breathe or blink. She barely touched her food at the restaurant and Amelia never saw her eat.

Amelia closed her eyes tightly, remembering the few defensive spells she knew. She never needed many, having never been in danger from anything alive in her life. She held out her palms, calling upon Hecate for helping form a protective barrier.

Karina cried out in surprise when she was flung into the cabinets across from Amelia even though the human couldn't have done it herself. "What the hell?" The two Volturi guard were confused and surprised as well, frozen temporarily from shock.

Amelia narrowed her eyes at them both, keeping her hands up so her magic and Hecate's kept up the barrier. "I'm not becoming a vampire's snack today." She then turned to Karina and glared at her, "I almost fucking slept with you! Ugh!"

Demetri turned to the now fiery woman, meeting her gaze for the first time. He suffocated under her gaze, leaning on the counter for balance from how dizzy and lightheaded he was. His heart suddenly ached for the woman in front of him, his heart already knowing who she was even if his mind was slow. His brain pushed that to the side, focusing on how this woman who did this to him was in danger from the newborn. "Get back, please. I don't want you getting hurt."

Felix raised his eyebrows at Demetri, never having seen him act like this before. If a human witnessed a vampire or knew about them they had their orders, kill them. Felix and Demetri had drained many human witnesses over the centuries, why was this one special? He ignored those thoughts for now, rushing forward with Demetri.

Amelia stumbled back into the living room, able to only see blurs and the destruction left behind from the fight. It only lasted seconds to her but she knew it had to have been bad. Most of her cabinets were now broken. Her sink was broken, water gushing out from the pipe. Her fridge was knocked over on the ground, it's contents spilling onto the floor. Karina was pinned on the ground, her limbs all torn off and nearby. Felix was pinning her down while Demetri tore off her head. Amelia let out a silent scream when she saw Karina's eyes stare her down before rolling back into her head. That was the last thing she saw before black took over, fainting from what just happened.

Demetri quickly appeared behind her, catching her. He lifted her into his arms, looking down at her now peaceful face. He brushed some lose strands of her hair back, feeling his insides melt when he touched her soft skin. He didn't have the urge to drain her, no matter how much he needed to feed. He just needed to protect her and keep her safe, especially from his masters. He needed to speak to them on her behalf because he would lose his mind if anything happened to her.

Felix picked up the body and limbs, shoving them in a bag he brought with him. "We have to bring her with us."

Demetri nodded, lifting her into a more comfortable position. "I know… but something's off about her, Felix… I love her." He looked up at Felix, frowning deeply. "I love her."

Felix's eyes narrowed at him, his skin pinching above his eyebrows. "You love her? Dude, you don't even know her name."

Demetri shook his head, heading downstairs and to the exit. "I know that Felix! I shouldn't but I do. I can't help it. I need to ask Marcus what he sees…"

Felix grumbled as they snuck out to the car, not wanting anyone to see them carrying an unconscious woman and large black bag. "That won't matter if the kings kill her first."

{X}

Aro clasped his hands together when his guard arrived back, "Ah, dear ones. I see you have successfully retrieved the newborn." He paused when he saw Demetri enter after Felix, carrying an unconscious woman in his arms. "Who is this?"

Felix dropped the body parts on the ground, another lower guard using their venom to put Karina back together. He then moved forward, holding out his hand for Aro. "She's a witness."

Caius sneered at the human, "Why didn't you just kill her and dispose of her in England? Why bring her here?" Marcus sighed at his brother, staring blankly at the body being put back together.

Aro's eyes snapped to Demetri's after he finished reading Felix's memories and thoughts. The tracker seemed nervous, staying back a little with the human. His arms were wrapped around her protectively, keeping her angled away from all the other vampires in the room, except for the kings. He held up his hand to Demetri, "Relax, Demetri. I have a theory… But first, we need to take care of the newborn." He and Caius stepped down from the ledge as Karina returned to consciousness. "You, child, have broken our rules knowingly. You ran away from the guards after we took your sire. You continued to leave countless bodies and bloodshed in your wake, never trying to hide your existence to the world."

Karina growled loudly at him, louder when Aro held her hand and went through her memories. "I will not hide in the shadows, we are superior to these humans."

Aro sighed at the newborn, having heard these speeches countless times. It grew old after the first century. He nodded at Caius, letting him rip her apart once again. The lower guard quickly picked up the pieces, carrying them off to burn them in the pit. Aro then smiled brightly, turning to Demetri. "Peace, Demetri." He held out his hand to him, wanting to know his side before he asks Marcus.

Demetri placed his hand in Aro's, nervously watching him. "I don't understand it myself, master… I'm sorry if this displeases you."

Aro shook his head once he was done, "You have not displeased me, Demetri. You have brought back a joy in your life the likes of which I have not found." He moved to Marcus' side, holding his hand. "Marcus, would you look at Demetri's bonds?"

Demetri looked up at his brother, frowning softly. Did he think this human was truly Demetri's mate? He sighed softly, trusting Aro's judgement at least. He activated his gift, turning his sight to Demetri. He saw the usual bonds flowing to their coven but there was a new one. A thick red cord tightly connected Demetri to the human. He looked up at Aro, a faint and sad smile on his lips. "It's true."

Demetri looked at Marcus, feeling hope building in his chest. "It's true?"

Aro smiled brightly, clapping loudly as he turned to face the tracker. "Demetri has found his mate in this young woman, Amelia Allan!"
