Destined for Fate

New perspectives

Bella Swan

Who is she? She walks from her position next to Jane and sits gracefully in Aro's lap.

He didn't even flinch or reprimand her. She sat nicely in his lap as if she belonged there. She politely waved at Edward while he just glowered back.

"Alexia my dear, would you be so kind as to demonstrate your power?"

She smiles and her blinding white teeth stretched across her marble skin. She was Ethereal. She stood at Aro's command.

Her blonde tresses showed brightly when cast upon the Carmel shadow of her skin.

She was both angelic and deadly looking. Her violet eyes shone with power and her voice when she spoke was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard.

She was not one to be trifled with. Especially Jane's sibling.

"Of course Aro. Who shall be my unwilling volunteer?" She says while looking around the room

Edward looks uncomfortable as her eyes slide past him. She winks at him. A flash of jealousy passes quickly through my body. Who does she think she is?

"Who is she?" Alice asks herself, with a concerned face.

If Alice is worried then I'm extremely worried. The girl looks at Marcus with a grin and goes to speak.

A little too late Marcus opens his mouth to protest but she has already begun speaking.

"My dearest Marcus, would you be so kind as to kneel," she said.

Her voice is full of unspeakable power. The feeling of lust fills the room with an accompanying smell of Vanilla and Fresh Rain. It was heavenly.

Before my eyes, Marcus stood willingly as if in a trance and knelt on one knee. He reaches for her hand and gazes up at her with eyes of adoration.

"Of course my dear. I'd do anything for you." Marcus exclaims. He then shook his head and looked at her with disgust.

The woman laughs, her whole body shaking as she doubles over in fits of laughter.

Aro and Caius are both struggling to hide their laughter behind their smirks. Edward looks downright embarrassed and disturbed. Alice looks on with fascination.

"Well done my dear. You may go back to your station." Aro says while still smiling widely.

"As you can see we have attained the most perfect prize. Her name is Alexia and she has one of the most powerful gifts I have ever seen." Caius speaks calmly as Alexia walks back to her place next to Jane.

Marcus was meanwhile still huffing and complaining quietly about being undermined constantly by the blonde hussy and how she pisses him off to the point of insanity.

I smirked and giggled. I then quickly stopped when I realized everyone heard me. Shit.

"To what do you laugh for my dear," Marcus says, sneering in my direction.

Jane looks excited as she knows that she might have another chance to test her power against me.

Edward looked nervous and apologetic.

"I am so sorry Brother Marcus. She didn't mean it in the slightest." Edward pleaded.

I stared on in complete and utter terror.

"I am so sorry," I say falling to my knees "Please take no offense to my stupidity." I plead.

Alexia smirked at my attempt to apologize. She then whispers to Aro and he smirks in turn.

"It is quite alright my dear. If you would be so kind as to wait in the front office with Gianna. We need to eat." Aro says.

"Unless you'd like to join us, Alice, Edward?" Alexia asked, smiling politely.

Alice speaks up, and her quiet voice carries across the throne room.

"Thank you but due to Carlisle's lifestyle we only feed on the blood of animals. But I thank you for the offer."

With that, we go to leave the throne room through the big wooden entry doors. Alexia waves as she smiles at me. Her eyes, however, are staring into my soul.

I do not trust her at all.

If Edward's stories about the Voluturi were true, then they have acquired a weapon that could destroy everything the Cullens have built.
