It had been several months since our visit by the Volturi. Several months since I had last physically and psychically seen my sister. Every step we took, I knew my sister was not too far behind us. We had landed in an abandoned island cabana off the coast of Ecuador. It was a nice place and I was sure the humans who had once lived here loved it too.

"Where's Allegra?" Aurora asked. She and Solomon were going to go for a night swim.

"I haven't seen her." I shook my head. "I'll try though." She nodded and left with Solomon out the door. Edwin and Elsie were already 'sleeping' so the only two people left in the house were Christopher and me. Ever since Emily's death, Christopher had become a bit of a bodyguard. It was nice having an extremely buff guy making sure you were okay.

"Don't try too hard." Christopher looked at me and tossed in a half smile. I returned it and closed my eyes. I focused on my sister hoping that this would somehow work. Nothing. I furrowed my eyebrows and tried harder. Still nothing.

"You know, you're face will stay like that." I heard her chuckle and I opened my eyes.

"Allegra!" I shouted overjoyed and wrapped my arms around her neck. It wasn't until our moment was complete that I noticed her guest. He looked like he was Italian-born and even gorgeous in his pre-immortality. He was at least a foot taller than Allegra and a placid version of an olive tone. His eyes were as dark as a starless sky and his hair was a deep brown to match. A small goatee was visible on his chin from our distance.

"Blythe, this is Luca. My mate." She noticed who I was staring at. "He's a seer."

"Like me?" I asked rather confused.

"No." she shook her head. "He—" she stopped and sighed. "I'll explain it tomorrow morning when everyone's here." She then progressed into introducing me to him in Italian.

"Hello." His voice had an Italian accent.

"Nice to meet you." I offered him a hand to shake. "My other coven members are out. This is Christopher." I turned to see him at my side.

"Is he your mate?" Luca asked a clearly innocent question.

"Um." Christopher and I looked at each other.

"I had someone before." Christopher shook his head breaking our awkward moment.

"Oh."Allegra's brow furrowed. "Then how are you here? Alive? Doesn't it hurt to be away from your mate for eternity?" Allegra tensed for a moment. "Sorry. I'll leave you be. Is there a room we may stay in?" she asked holding onto Luca.

"Second floor third right." I offered and pointed toward the stairs
