Twilight But Better, But Gay

VIII

Graduation was today, mine was. Luckily the Cullens weren't attending because my parents were, I knew if they were caught they were going to pass it off as picking me up to change me. That was also true, but also because they wanted to see me graduate, I was their baby after all. Seeing them in the audience as I accepted my diploma, and seeing their proud smiles on their face reminded me why it was all worth it. Without them I wouldn't have this, I would probably have been dead without them. 

Here's an explanation you've probably been curious about; When I was born my parents didn't want me. I was a bastard child, conceived out of wedlock. Now is that a big deal usually? No, but for them it was. And though they could have aborted for some reason they didn't. After birthing me they dropped me off in the trash by the castle, I was born in Italy but my teacher was American so when I was turned I could travel. I knew Italian but spoke English more. I don't know why on that particular night my Moms was walking outside the castle but they were, that was when they heard me and then found me. They took me and legally adopted me, giving me a second name so for other purposes I wouldn't just be Volturi. This is why I am also a Swanson, but after I am changed we were making me fully a Volturi which I was happy with. When I was old enough they told me the truth, I had always known I was adopted but the how was a different story. I ended up finding them, they stayed in the town and it wasn't hard to find them. 

DNA is an amazing thing, I learned that they had a son a year older than me than other kids. They were happy without me, I was given the option to meet them and talk to them. But I didn't want to. I had a family, why would I want to meet someone who wanted nothing to do with me? They chose to have premarital sex and didn't want to suffer the consequences, that's not my fault; It's theirs. 

That's that story, moving on. After we all graduated and clapped I ran to my Moms, I was so happy. They let me know that Lauren and Jane were already heading back to Volterra, and it was my turn. I messaged goodbye to Bella and Rose before getting on the plane, I knew Rose was going to go to the house to see if I was there. I left a note for her on the door, I knew I was leaving today just not with my Moms. The note told her that soon everything I had kept hidden would come to light, and she could always call me. But I can't tell her just yet, and I couldn't wait to see her again. I turned my phone off for the flight, sitting between my Mom's. It was easy to fall asleep, holding Mama's hand and leaning on Mom's shoulder. 

When I woke up I was gently shaken awake, I opened my eyes and stretched. Mama helped me up and we walked off the plane and to the car, I was grinning ear to ear with how excited I was to be home. I turned on my phone and saw a few messages from Rose and Bella, both wishing me a safe turn. Rose said she will miss me and she hopes I'm ok. I asked her if she went to my house and she said no, I told her to go. Another thing in that letter was the keys to every car I had and my house. I knew they would keep it safe for me, I also gave her the codes to the alarms and cameras. I knew what reminded me of home was taken down so that it would be back at the castle, and because I had everything already there I didn't take anything else. I also made sure every single photo of my Moms and I was gone, and my computers were completely cleaned so they had nothing on me. Not that I thought they would do that, but just in case. 

Once we got to the castle my phone was blowing up with thank yous from her, I told her there was no need to thank me and that she and Emmett could use their own space and my space was now theirs. I knew if I ever needed a place to stay there I could always ask, but I had doubt I would be staying with them ever again. We walked into the throne room and I hugged my Uncles and Aunt before Heidi pulled me into a hug. I laughed and hugged back, "I missed you too, Heidi." "God, having to deal with the Queens without you has been a nightmare, and then Jane left. It was a larger nightmare." I shook my head with a smile, "You're cute, I want you to know that. But now I have to be turned, so I can't wait." She smiled and pulled away, I looked at my Moms. "I'm ready," They nodded and we went into my bedroom, they wanted me to be comfortable. Once I laid down they sat beside me, grabbing my wrist. I nodded at them, "We'll be right by your side, we won't go anywhere. We love you." "I love you too Mama, Mom." They bit down and I felt the heat burning through my veins, I kept silent. 

That was until I couldn't anymore, a scream ripping from my throat. The pain was blinding, I wanted it to end but I knew eventually it would. I thought about everything, everything I had gone through. I could sense them by my side the whole time, I might not have seen or heard them but I knew they were there.

Three Days Later

When my eyes opened I looked around, seeing the bright sun coming from the windows. Seeing the books on my bookshelf clearer, hearing everything louder. Then my eyes found my Moms, I sat up and they came over. I pulled them into a hug, hearing them groan as a cracking noise was heard. "You're stronger than us, honey." I pulled away and my Mama held my hand while Mom rubbed my cheek, "Look at our baby girl, let's get you something to drink." I didn't feel the burning they warned me about in my throat, but I knew to listen to them. I got up and raced to the door, slowing down as they laughed. "You'll get the hang of it, don't worry. We'll help you, I know you don't need to be human ready but just in case we will prepare you." I nodded, "Ok, Mama." She smiled at me and we started walking, their hands on my back. 

Once we walked into the throne room there was already a group of tourists, waiting to be murdered though they didn't know that. Once we were given the ok we dug in, I moaned at the first taste of blood on my tongue. It felt like I was taking ecstasy, not that I had before but I imagine this is what it felt like. Once the person I drained was dead I dropped them, taking a breath and Mama came over. "You did good, we're proud of you. We're just gonna take the first few days to get you used to everything, sounds, smells, all that." I nodded, "Ok, I understand." She kissed my forehead, putting hair behind my ear.

A Few Weeks Later
~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a few weeks, I have gotten a lot better with my control though they said it was perfect before training. I was able to not have bloodlust as much as a newborn should and I was able to control my strength. We were waiting for the news that Bella had been changed, but we only got the wedding invitation this week, just after her graduation. We knew they were most likely going to wait until after the wedding and honeymoon, I was curious how Leah was doing with the news. But I knew eventually they would find each other, this was all temporary even if he didn't know it. 

I had messaged Rosalie to send Bella my regards for the wedding, but I would not be attending for obvious reasons. I knew they wouldn't want a red-eye vampire there, let alone me. Rosalie told me that Bella had personally invited me, with Edward's knowledge. I was invited to the wedding party and would be asked to stay away from humans. I said I would think about it, I was human-ready, but was I Cullen ready? I talked to my Moms about it and they said it would be good for me because it would be new smells and I would have vampires around me. But I could also bring a date, I decided not to go just for the humans' safety. I had trust in me but I didn't wanna risk it so soon, which Bella understood. She was just happy I told her in advance so she wouldn't have planned for me not to show up, which I found funny.

Three weeks later

It was after their wedding, that Rosalie said they had gotten back from their honeymoon and that Bella was sick. I asked if she wanted me to come and she told me no, I had a feeling it was something more than that but we were going to have to wait until we were told anything. Rosalie already told me she was telling me too much, that she wasn't supposed to talk to me but because she moved out of the main house they can't keep tabs on her. I hated that about them, that they were still so controlling over who Rose could talk to. I was a vampire and no threat to them, at least not that they knew. 

But something I learned, I met a new vampire. He came to the Volturi, wanting to die. When I found out his power we learned he really had planned to use it against the Volturi. He didn't know about the princess who harnessed power, probably cause it was a secret. I was able to take his power, the power to take away powers from vampires, humans, and even shifters. I took away the power from him and we killed him, I knew I was going to have to study the power, study how to make it stronger. But to know that it was a possibility, that was exciting. 

But an update on the baby vampire thing, my Moms are all for the study so I've been working on it this week. I knew I would have to wait until I had a little more control. I decided because my eggs aren't maybe as old as Rosalie's I used Heidi's and Demetri's sperm, did they know why? No, I just took it with their permission. I tested the DNA on the egg and sperm, they both had vampire signs, which was hard to figure out but they were still alive. So I am now testing to see if the embryo grows into a fetus, if it does then we know as long as we connect the eggs it will grow. But what will it grow in, well who? That's a test for a later date, right now we are in the simple stages.
