Elemental Magic - Demetri Volturi

Introduction

I can't believe where I am currently....on a plane going to Italy to help my best friend save her douche ex-boyfriend with said douche's sister. I have been avoiding the Volturi all my life and now here I am about to go into the damn lion's den...how did I get into this mess?

Oh yeah, Bella went into a zombie-like state after the douche broke up with her and LEFT HER IN THE FUCKING WOODS to freeze to death. I don't get why we are flying to Italy to save his ass...I'd much rather set it on fire, but it unfortunately isn't my choice.

I'll back up and give you a brief summary of who I am and what is going on. My name is Logan Saylor Wilder and I'm a hybrid. Not the kind you are thinking, I guarantee it. I'm a vampire/elemental hybrid. Bet I was right and that wasn't the kind of hybrid you were thinking. Nobody ever expects a vampire/elemental hybrid. 

Anyway, as an elemental I was born with control over plant life, water, earth, fire, and air. It's pretty cool and I love it. I have this connection to nature, it's the most amazing feeling in the world. It brings me so much peace and content, it's hard to explain in words, to be honest. 

My elemental side comes from my mom, Robyn Wilder. My vampire side is from my dad. He's a cold one. I don't really know much about him. All I know is that he was a strong and kind man, and a little lonely. That was what my mom told me, anyway, which like I said before, isn't much. My mom died months after I was born, so I never got to ask anymore questions about him.

Now, I know what you are wondering, how do I remember my mom when she died a few months after I was born? Well, being a vampire hybrid, I grew faster than normal kids. I was basically 18 by the time I was 7. So when my mom died, I was essentially a 6-year-old, so I remember her. 

The day my mom died is permanently etched in my brain. I was playing at a friend's house and when I came home, all I saw was blood everywhere. Everyone, every last elemental, was killed. Their bodies were torn to shreds. It was the most gruesome thing I have ever seen. Sometimes I still have nightmares about it. Vampires killed every single person. I don't know who did it, but I know it was vampires. I could tell by how the bodies were destroyed. I didn't know at the time, but as the years passed it was easy to figure out that it was vampires staging an animal attack. Now all I have left of my mother is her necklace and ring. She never took either off. She told me that once I was fully grown she would give me the ring. But since that didn't happen before she died, I took it from her body, along with the necklace. Now, like her, I never take them off.

After that horrible day, I lived on the streets. I knew I wouldn't be able to explain my rapid aging, so the streets were my only option until I stopped growing. 

If you are curious about how old I am now, I am technically 25-years-old, even though I stopped aging when I became physically 18. 

Once I was physically 18, I started traveling to new towns every 5 years or so. I was able to pass as a high school freshman, if I dressed and did my hair a certain way, so that is what I did most of the time. I would travel from town to town, starting over in high school, sometimes I would just go into 11th grade, others I would start in 9th or 10th. It just depended on how long I wanted to stay in a town. Normally nobody asked about my parents. I was pretty quiet and stayed out of trouble, so I didn't have too many questions about it. If anyone did ask, I would normally make up an excuse on how they would travel for work a lot and I would be home alone. 

Anyway, that is how I met Bella. We went to the same high school in Arizona and we became fast friends. When she moved to Forks, we kept in touch. She even told me about how her boyfriend and his family were vampires. She doesn't know what I am, but apparently this boyfriend of hers told her he was a vampire, the idiot, that's literally all the ammo the Volturi need to kill him and Bella. She told me they are animal drinkers, which I don't necessarily approve of, but I know Bella likes. Now don't get me wrong, I don't want humans to get hurt...well unless they are just evil, vile, horrible people (i.e. murders, rapists, and kidnappers) or if they were to do something to hurt a kid, but I hate that the Cullens drink from animals. I understand not wanting to kill humans, but they could use blood bags. Killing the animals is horrible for the environment, especially at the rate they go through them. I'm not a vegetarian or anything, but with 7 members of that coven, they go through so many animals that it could tip the balance in the area. Plants could die off, and the ecosystem could be destroyed where they are. I use blood bags when I need blood, which isn't nearly as often as the Cullens do. Back to the point, Bella has no clue what I am, even though I am sort of like her precious Cullens, well I'm half like them. I never told her. As much as I love Bella, I don't trust anyone to know about me.

But that is all a moot point considering where I am going right now. How did I end up here you ask? Well when douchebag left her and she went into her zombie-like state, I came up from Arizona. I was bored without Bella so I graduated early and was taking some online college classes, but still living in the area until I decided where to go next. I stayed with Charlie and Bella and tried to help Bella snap out of her funk. I helped a little, but what really helped was Jake, the shifter from the Reservation who is Bella's other best friend. Then once he shifted he left her and then she found out and he was back in her life. He was the one that told Edward that Charlie was planning a funeral, but leaving out the part that it was HARRY CLEARWATER'S funeral and not Bella's. Now Edward is going to the Volturi to kill himself. 

Alice, Edward's coven sister who is a seer, told Bella what was happening and Bella darted out of the house to go save him, dragging me along with her. Now I am on a freaking plane, going to Volterra Italy, the one place I was planning to always avoid, to help Bella save some douchebag I'd rather burn alive than save, all because she still loves the prick and begged me to go with her. What could possibly go wrong?
