Reborn in Twilight

12. Chapter:

Apparently, because I'm technically a vampire now, Rose and I have to go down to the treaty line and sign the treaty, which I find amusing.

I find it funny because I know that the moment the shifters see me, they'll instinctively follow me. As the goddess of the supernatural, it's in their nature to worship me and my mate. It's almost ironic how these powerful beings, capable of transforming into mighty creatures, are drawn to us in reverence. The dynamics of our world never cease to amaze me, and this treaty signing will undoubtedly be an interesting experience.

I also realize this will mean that the Cullens will finally find out I'm a goddess, but honestly, it doesn't matter anymore. I already told Rose that I only hid it because of Edward, and now that he is out of the picture, I don't care. It's not like they can do anything about it anyway.

I also told Rose that we should go to the Volturi and explain ourselves first, before anyone tries something that could result in our families' deaths. I know Rose and I are overpowered and safe, but members like Tanya and the Cullens aren't. Taking this proactive step is crucial to ensure their safety. The Volturi need to understand who we are and why we're here, so we can avoid unnecessary conflict and protect those we care about.

Needless to say, Rose was against it, and honestly, I couldn't blame her for her worry. There is a history with Volturi that makes her apprehensive.

I also talked to Rose about the possibility of exploring a different universe. Nothing is set in stone, but I explained that when we leave, we can return to the same date, making it seem like we were only gone for a few hours at most. This way, we could have our adventure without worrying about the passage of time here. It's an intriguing idea, offering us the chance to explore new realms and experiences without permanent consequences.

As Rose and I arrived at the treaty line, we were met by Sam and some of the village elders.

They looked confused about why Rose appeared human, especially when they had been told they were meeting us to encounter the new vampire. The uncertainty in their eyes was almost palpable, a reflection of the unexpected situation. I couldn't help but find the irony amusing—how little they knew about the true nature of our existence.

The moment Sam's eyes met mine, he dropped to his knees with a look of awe, confusing the village elders. They looked to Sam for answers. "She is a goddess," he replied.

"Hello, Sam. He's not joking. I am the goddess of all supernatural beings. I'm also a Valkyrie, and a newly turned vampire. And I do believe you know my soulmate, Rosalie Hale," I said, my voice steady and clear, as I introduced myself to the astonished group.

Their eyes grew wide with surprise. "How? You don't look like one of those leeches," one of the elders remarked cautiously.

"Be careful how you speak about them. I care for their existence, which relies on the gods' favor. I might be inclined to forgive such a transgression, but my parents, Hades and Persephone, aren't known for their forgiveness. Also, Sam, you may stand. There's no need to keep kneeling," I explained calmly but with a firm tone, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and the respect owed to both my kind and those I care for.

"Rose and I descended solely to safeguard the treaty's integrity, mindful of the potential consequences our presence might provoke. Earlier, I had made it clear to Carlisle that Edward Cullen is now excluded from the terms of our agreement." But before I could elaborate further, my words were drowned out by my own anguished cries.

'If we find him, we will kill him!' shouted the same voice from earlier."

"As I was saying... He is no longer part of the treaty because I killed him. It was a godsend, but it's not something that concerns anyone else. Well, it seems we're done here. We'll be leaving now," I declared firmly, scooping up Rose and whisking us away back home.

Now, all that's left is to let the Cullens know what I truly am. This should be quite the experience, not to mention the sarcasm.
