Kapitel 1
Determined to get Renesmee Cullen in his possession Aro forces the Cullen family to leave their beloved Renesmee in his hands and to never make contact until he says so. But the love and bond in the Cullen coven is to strong and they refuse to leave any one behind. Sadly Aro uses the Volturi guard powers to capture the Cullen coven in a dungeon deep in the mountain beneath Volterra. Unknowing of the situation Renesmee is left with only one choice, to join the Volturi.
The sweep sound of a refrigerator opening and closing woke me from my deep sleep. With heavy eyelids I forced my eyes open. The dark brown roof beam was the first thing I saw. First I thought that I was home in my bed, but then I saw the stone wall next to the roof beam and remembered where I was. Volterra. My eyes suddenly felt wet and a big lump fast stuck in my throat. I refused to believe that my beloved family would just leave me like this, with only a not as a good bye. No, something must have happened to them, someone must have forced them to leave me. The only question remaining was who, and why. I squeezed the little piece of paper in my hand, memorizing the words in my head. We love you. Three simple words; written in my mother’s neat handwriting. No explanation whatsoever, just three words. Feeling suddenly angry, I threw the small piece of paper across the room. I watched it sail through the air before it landed on the stone floor with a dull thud. For a second or two I felt satisfied by my act of carelessness, but then I sighed and rose to pick it up. While rising from the soft bed I noticed that I still wore the clothes I’d wore yesterday when I first arrived inside the mighty stonewalls that surrounded the small city. Standing up I yawned loudly and stretched out my tired muscles. In almost human speed I walked toward the wrinkled paper. Just as I attended to pick it up, it disappeared. With a big frown on my forehead I turn around to look for it. I smelled him before I saw him. The sweet, wonderful smell of vampire filled the room. Felix leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest and a mischievous smile on his lips. The fingers on his right hand played with a piece of paper, my piece of paper.
“Give me that” I urged and ran to his side in the blink of an eye but he was gone. A low laughter was heard from across the room and I spun around quickly. Felix was now seated in one of the chairs at the kitchen table. I balled my fists put stayed put. I couldn’t catch him, he was a vampire and I was a half breed.
“No hello?” Felix said jolly and threw the note in my direction. I quickly reached out my hand and catched it before I put it in my back pocket. I didn’t dare to answer him at first but then I realized that not answering him would seem rude, and Felix wasn’t exactly the person you were rude to. He was at least 6 feet tall and was covered with muscles. His black hair was styled in a rough haircut that covered a bit of his left eye.
“Hi”, I said in a low voice and glanced at him. Before, I’d been so obsessed with my precious note that I didn’t have time to be scared of him, but now all the fear I had come rushing to the surface. I could feel my otherwise colorful cheeks turn white and my body leaned a bit back when the large vampire rose from his chair. His white marble skin looked even paler in the weak light from the lamp in the corner.
“What do you think?” Felix did a swooping gesture with his hand around the room. “It’s the only decorated room in the castle besides the reception. Made just for you, ‘cause you’re the only one who sleeps around here.” He winked at me and took a few steps forward. I answered with taking a few steps back until I hit the hard stone wall. Felix’s smile grew bigger as he saw the fear in my face. I guess he liked the feeling of being afraid of.
“It’s nice”, I said after a moment of silence. The room was actually really nice, modern furniture in a retro style but at the same time girlish. The bed was big and filled with pillows with jade colored covers and matching cheats. Next to the bed a magnificent desk was placed, it was pure mahogany and glowed in the dim light. Across the room there was a huge bookshelf stuffed with books in any form and shape. I was secretly happy about the books; a life without books was just not worth living. Other than that the room was kind of empty – if you didn’t count the rotatable chair in front of the desk and the dining table. There were also three doors, one who led to the bathroom, one who led to the kitchen and the one I was leaned against, which led out to the deep tunnels below Volterra. I’d only been in the tunnels once, but I didn’t like them. They were wet, dark and incredibly narrow. Felix – who escorted me to my new room – didn’t seem to mind them, but I guessed he was used to them.
“What are you doing here, Felix?” I asked deeply wishing that he would leave.
“Well, I just came to…” The door behind my back creaked and opened. Sadly enough I’d leaned against it, so when it opened I lost my balance and fell. A small shriek fled my lips as a tumbled backwards – straight into the cold, hard arms of Alec, another Volturi guard. Felix tried to cover up his laughter in a fake cough, but I barley even noticed, I just stared into the deep red eyes surrounded by handsome face textures and messy black hair. For just a moment he met my eyes and gave me a cold gaze before he helped me regain my balance. Once I stood up he quickly removed his hands from my waist and shoulders. It took me a few seconds to come back to reality, and when I did Alec had already started a conversation with Felix.
“What’s taking you so long? Masters getting impatient.” The coldness and apathy in his voice gave me goose bumps and I shivered. Felix stopped smiling and looked serious. It was obvious that he had huge respect for the young man in front of me. I knew that Alec was about 1200 years old, but he looked so young, sixteen or seventeen maybe. It was actually rather fun to see the huge vampire look down at the floor, scared to meet the smaller vampires gaze. Alec was about 5.6 feet tall and had a thin but still muscular body type, but nothing compared to Felix. Still, Alec had a higher rank in the Volturi guard. The almost black cloak was a clear sign of that.
“I was just about to…” Once again Felix was interrupted by Alec.
“I don’t care what you were about to do, master waits and he’s getting impatient.” With those words he turned to me and looked me in the eye. “Aro wishes to speak with you”, he said in a cold tone. Short of words, I nodded but didn’t move. I was still unsure where we were going. Without waiting for neither Felix nor for me Alec walked out of the room and expected us to follow. Felix quickly slipped his cloak back on and gestured me to walk first into the dark tunnel.
Hur bra som helst!! :) Alltså, fortsätt så här...!!!
