Chapter 3
I could hear what Aro was thinking!
I quickly pulled my hand away. Aro looked up in surprise. "What is it my dear? What made you pull your hand away?" I didn't answer at first, I just stared back and forth between my hand and Aro's, shaking my head in disbelief.
"I...I think I...just...read your mind...Aro...when you touched my hand..." I said quietly before breaking off in disbelief.
To my surprise Aro said "Let's try it again to see what the ability can do." When he reached out his hand and touched mine, I saw a nice looking woman and what looked like a younger Aro. She was handing him a piece of apple pie on a small china plate. The younger Aro said "Thanks Ma. Fresh baked apple pie, my favorite." As I pulled my hand away I smiled. Aro, the vampire one, asked me "What did you hear?"
"Not hear, but see. I saw your mother handing you your favorite food, apple pie." Aro smiled.
"I guess you have yet another ability." I smiled again. Then I remembered something.
"Aro? The legend that you had Andrew tell me said something about all special vampires have had an ability that was exactly the same, but it didn't say what it was. Do you know what it is?"
"You actually know the ability Ella. It's the ability to turn liquids into blood. I saw you do that what I read your mind. I believe you wanted to show me?" I nodded yes and took the glass of water from Andrew. I placed it on a table in the center of the room.
Then I backed up and concentrated on the water turning into blood. When I opened my eyes and looked at the glass, half the water was already blood. When Aro reached for the glass, by the time he grabbed it, it was all blood. He drank some of it and said "It has an...interesting taste." All of a sudden I felt like I had no energy again. Oops, I forgot about keeping track of my energy. I ended up falling back onto my butt.
"Oof." Andrew was at my side in an instant.
"Ella? What's wrong? Are you ok?" Andrew asked worriedly. This is getting annoying, and it's only happened once before.
"I am okay. I just feel, drained of energy." I was fighting to stay awake. "Aro." Aro appeared at my side. "I think I figured out why I passed out before. I think I have a limit of energy I can use for my abilities. Once the energy is gone, I pass out. And I think I just ran out again." By the end I was whispering. Everything, my voice, my body, everyone around me, felt so far away. Suddenly I felt myself jolt awake for a minute, but I was growing tired again. Then I remembered something. "Aro? I just remembered. You never talked to me after the tour of the castle. What was it you wanted to talk about?"
He hesitated before deciding to ask me. "Ella, will you join the Volturi?" I smiled.
"Yes." And then everything went black.
