The Guard and the Newborn

Demetri x Reader

oooooooooooooooooooo
You are a newborn vampire, around twenty-three in human years, not that it will matter anymore. You're alone in the world because your sire left you on your own shortly after he had turned you. When you awoke, you and he began to explore the world, with all the sights, sounds, and colour around you. Eventually, he left you.
When you were a young mortal, you found out you had an affinity with the cold. You discovered you could turn water into ice merely by dipping your finger into it, or freezing something organic and throwing it into the water. You could also gather ice crystals in the air and form snow anywhere you desired. Once you had been changed, your gift was amplified. You had never felt so powerful.

One day, you found yourself in the countryside, still in Washington state, you thought. Towns of humans were few and far between out here. You tried to be careful when you fed, but at times, it was hard to control your thirst. If only your sire had stayed to teach you things you needed to know. At least right now, you're not hungry, and are simply enjoying the cool air, waving your hands to create snow that fell from the sky around you.

You came upon a field, one surrounded by trees, but the area itself was empty. It gave you the perfect playground. You raise your hands to draw together ice crystals in the air. The snow begins to fall, and you dance around in it, happy. It's interesting to you how you can no longer melt it, your body being cold as well.

Off in the distance, you see a group of people running very fast to a section of the open space. There is no where for you to hide. One man, a blonde, sees you and calls to you. You know he is a vampire as well, but fear makes you want to run. He is at your side in a second.

"Who are you? You shouldn't be here. This place may become a dangerous place soon." The man looked off in the distance, frowning. "It's too late. They're here. You need to come with me."

Whatever it was the blonde man saw, was here. You see a large group of what you know to be are vampires coming through the fog. They are dressed in grey and black cloaks, and just seeing the group intimidates you. You wait, slowly moving backwards, keeping your eyes on both groups. "Oh no.." you say to yourself, knowing you have to leave. These two groups are not friends, and you don't want to to be caught in the middle of this. "I'm not involved in this, and don't want any trouble. So I'm just going to say good bye and go."

You turn around, but hear someone say "Get her!"

You've barely taken three steps before you feel hard arms wrapped around you. Some man has you tightly within his arms, with no intent to let you go. You close your eyes, scared and struggling against him, albeit weakly. "Let me go," you plead. "I won't cause any trouble, I swear." If only your arms were free. You have no idea who these cloaked vampires are, but they are not as nice as the other one was. You struggle, but are held tight. "Please don't hurt me. I just want to go..." Where? You have no home.

The same voice as before says, "Bring her to us, Demetri." So his name is Demetri. You hear him tell you to open your eyes and stop struggling. One eye opens, as if partially blocking out the scene will make everything go away. Your other eye opens tentatively, making the vampire Demetri laugh. You want to cry, but have no tears. As he pulls you along with him back to the line of the dark vampires, you stop fighting him.

Once the two of you are behind the vampires, Demetri loosens his hold to see what you do. You've decided fighting will gain you nothing. At least they are vampires too, and strong ones.

You look up at the man holding you, his crimson eyes forcing you to stare. You've forgotten that your eyes are now red as well. You sigh loudly, stunned by his beauty. This also makes him laugh. You look away shyly, his stare intimidating you. His forefinger touches your chin, forcing you to look up at him. Your eyes meet, both of you seeing only the other and nothing else around you. He strokes your cheek with his knuckles, then they move down to caress your lips. You can tell he wants to kiss you, but doesn't.

"Master Aro, we must bring her back with us to Volterra. I...I feel like I know her. She belongs with me."

"I know, Demetri. Marcus has indicated to me she is your mate. That's why you're drawn to her and she to you, although she may not know why."

Demetri looks back to you, and leaning down, he captures your lips with his. "Will you come home with me?" he asks.

You kiss him back, no longer desiring to fight him. On the contrary, this feels right and perfect to you. In one day, you have found a new home and a mate to spend eternity with. "Yes, I'll go with you."

You stand watching what's happening, while Demetri stands right behind you, his arms at your waist holding on to you. He dips his head, inhaling the scent from your thick dark hair. He then kisses the top of your head, pulling you back against him. If you could blush, your cheeks would be a bright pink.

Whatever has been going on, it seems the two groups are not friends, but have somehow avoided fighting one another. The dark-haired vampire named Aro tells everyone in his group there is no danger and although one of the vampires is not happy, you see the fight is ended before it started.

Aro finally comes over to you, nodding at Demetri and holding out his hand to you. Demetri whispers to you to give your hand to Master Aro. You do so reluctantly. The vampires lets out a faint sigh and says nothing while he just holds your hand. He lets it go, a smile on his face. "You have a gift, my dear."

Demetri smiles, knowing this will ensure your being allowed into the Volturi. His hands grip you a bit harder while he nuzzles your neck.

"We shall enjoy testing your gifts once we are home. Now, child, I know you are a newborn, but who changed you?"

You tell him you aren't sure since you only have his name. You met your sire in the city of Seattle, along with others. This young man took you away from the group once they began talking about fighting another coven. The two of you traveled together, feeding on humans as you moved around the state. But then one day, he left you alone. He told you little about being a vampire. It might have been because he wasn't much older than you were.

Aro nodded, and turned to talk with a tall dark-haired vampire and the angry blonde one.

Demetri whispered in your ear so as not to interrupt Master Aro talking with Masters Marcus and Caius. "You're not alone anymore, cara mia. You will be with me from now on, and I'm sure Master Aro will let me teach you all you need to know. You'll stay with me in my room...our room. I hope you like it. If not, we can fix it up any way you like. I will enjoy getting to know you...very well."

You feel like blushing again. Staying with Demetri in his room has frightening yet interesting connotations. His lips on the back of your neck only makes you feel even more timid. But you want him to be happy with you, as you know he will work to make you happy.

The group of vampires flashes across the valley floor, Demetri holding onto your hand. You smile, your new mate at your side, knowing this coven is now your family.
