When Mia Grey moves to the small town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect the ghost of her past to haunt her. Let alone come in the shape of Edward Cullen, the man that resembles the late Hufflepuff, Cedric Diggory.

Mia's left completely speechless at the sight in front.
The castle reminds her of museums with its architectural style and tan coloring. Pillars run down from the ground all the way up, but stop before reaching the dome shaped ceiling. Toward the back, a set of steps hold three chairs that resemble a king's throne. Sitting down are the three leaders of the Volturi, each of their expressions reflecting their different personas, but the one in the middle seems to be the most unnerving one.
With his smile and bloodthirsty eyes, it's undeniable how much he's trying to maintain a facade of being friendly just to obtain trust. The others are only glaring at them stoically, not bothering to follow their leader's attempts of deception.
"Sister. They send you out to get one and you bring back two," one of the guards greets Jane, but senses the lack of vampirism in Mia. "And a half. Such a clever girl."
"What a happy surprise!" The vampire with a wide smile and dark hair addresses them and walks in their direction with open arms. "Mia is alive after all. Isn't that wonderful? I love a happy ending. They are so rare."
Mia gasps in fear once he reaches for Edward's hand. From the story he told her about the Volturi, she knows how horrible they truly are. If every vampire fears them, it's obvious their methods of ruling are the most gruesome and unjust.
Sensing her unease, Edward glances toward her and offers a nod of reassurance, letting her know nothing is wrong and she shouldn't have to worry. Still, she remains cautious and despite knowing it will only weaken her, she runs through every possible spell that could protect them. It might give her more enemies, but it's not anything new anyway.
Aro gasps in delight and looks toward her with amazement, "Fascinating. She is remarkably talented and a powerful witch."
She narrows her eyes, wondering how he learned about her gift.
"Aro can read every thought I've ever had with one touch," Edward explains and Mia internally curses at what this means. His earlier attempt to expose vampires' existence to the humans is already known and this meeting is about to become a possible war zone. "And now you know everything. So get on with it."
Aro gives a small smirk, "You are quite the soul reader yourself, Edward. Though, you can't read Mia's thoughts because of her magic. Fascinating." He takes a couple steps back, his gaze continuously switching between them, "Like her, you once were a bearer of these powers, which is how you acquired your gift. Your past memories have returned, so I can see why this connection between you two is strong."
Past memories?
Edward never told her about getting his memories back. She had offered to open her mind and let him see what he used to be like, but he always denied as he claimed he wanted to live in the present and not dwell on the past. Did he get his memories back when he left or before?
