The Volturi Are Coming For Me

Help

With the frightening news that the Volturi is on its way we started to reach out to people that we thought would be willing to aid in our fight. as nerve wracking as it was to know that they were on their way was killing me inside but the more that I thought about it the more I realized that they were not coming for me. In fact they might not even know that I am here or maybe just maybe they had never went out and looked for me. I wasn't as important as I thought I was and it made me grateful, I could finally live a life away from them and their drama. A life with the family I was growing to cherish and the man that I was growing to love. 

After reaching out more vampires came to our aid and no one asked me why I ran out of the house that day. It was like they knew I just didn't want to talk about it. This whole time they never asked about my past they just wanted to let me be me and they loved me for it. Granted my them already knowing that I was from Rome they would have guessed that I had a complicated history with them, but they never asked to confirm it or explain. At the end of the count there were 35 vampires and 63 werewolves even with people from far away who just wanted to help. That was only a fifth of what the Volturi had but it was still a great big number for how strong the Volturi are and how little time we were given to prepare. The Volturi were coming soon and we only had a few days to train and get ready for a battle of the century. The Volturi had made there price and it was big. Renesmee. That's all they wanted. She was the reason they found so they could take the powerful vampires and kill all other witnesses. 

We didn't know when they would come but all we did know is it will be very soon once the snow stuck to the ground. I was lost in my train of thought when there was a knock on my door. I opened it and Jared stood looking like a lost and scared puppy. I knew there was something he wasn't telling me but I trusted him too much to care if it was something small. Then the big bomb came out. He imprinted on me. After looking lost he started to explain. 

"The day that we met did you feel a pull towards me" He asked

"Well I guess that is what you could call it. Once our eyes locked the first time I felt a wave of support and safety like I knew no matter what happened you would not hurt me and would not let anyone else hurt me" I answered. 

"Yeah that is kind of what imprinting is. For us wolves when we turn a certain age we imprint someone. That someone is our version of a soulmate. A person we would do anything for and can not live without." As he spoke these words he waited to let me digest what was just said. The moment I trusted him was because of a bond that has happened to pack members for an eternity. My fate was already written out for me before I had a say. That was the reason that he acted so nice and tried to keep me close to him. It all made sense and even though it was a lot to process it felt like an unneeded formality. In my eyes we would have always found our way to each other. 

Time passes and soon it was Christmas and Alice took me out to shop for the other's Christmas presents. I knew what to get all of them but Jared. It's hard to get a present for someone that you care so much about and might even love. If they hate it it could mean the end of your relationship but if you get them a great present then you could go to the next stage of your relationship. Our life seemed so complicated because of everything that was happening around us so this small little thing had to be great. I decided after three hours to get him a painting of his wolf. It was the first time I saw him. I painted it myself and put all my love into it. At the end I made it look as realistic as I could hoping that he would think that it is perfect. Every brush stroke looked perfectly in place and the eyes were just like his emerald ones. I couldn't wait to see what he got me because I knew whatever it was I would love it because he gave it to me.

The next morning I woke up with a start and realized that it was Christmas. Christmas was so different here then it was at the Volturi clan. They just drank blood all day and never smiled unless they were with there mate, or said something snotty that made the other person cringe or feel sad. I guess the number of mates in the Volturi was very small, for it seemed that their entire goal in life was to make everyone else as miserable as they were in every instant of every day. My best and only friend there was Jane. She was the only one that ever was nice or made me smile, not out of pettiness but because she also craved a friend as much as I did in those dark dreadful halls. I got out of bed with a smile and walked down stairs only to see Renesmee filling her face with cookies. She stopped when I came down and gave me a cute guilty look. I walked over to her and snatched a cookie off of the plate before they were all inhaled by her. It landed in my mouth and she started eating the cookies again. She was just too cute to scold and with the long days ahead she deserved a little happiness before the storm.

After a few minutes the rest of the family came down the stair and sat on the couches to wait for Jared and Paul. The doorbell rang and I jumped to get it hoping that it was Jared. I couldn't wait to see him, my only thoughts were on the hope that he loved my paining as much as I hoped he did. It took a lot of work and effort to finish. I opened the door with a smile and saw something I never wanted to see and was hoping I would never see again.
