Dark Blood - A. Volturi

Chapter 3

Bella? Dad? Renesmee? Rosalie? Alice? What's going on, Jade?

As soon as Jade left, Shadow slumped onto the bed, burying her face into the comfortable, blood red blankets.

Why does my life have to be so ruined?

She lay there for a long time, trying to process the afternoon.

First, she found out that she was mated to a vampire. And a high rank Volturi guard that is.

Then, she found that he didn't feel anything, and that it was a one way bond.

And then after that, she found out that Bella had lied to everyone about her sister being dead, and that Jade was alive.

Lastly, she found out Jade was very powerful. And she found out her days as a hybrid were limited.

Why? Because she was going to be turned into a vampire.

"Why am I cursed?" She groaned, pushing herself off the bed and dragging herself to the bathroom.

As she stared at herself in the mirror, her reflection looked back at her. The swirling blue violet eyes, the rosiness in her cheeks. All things that would be gone after she was changed.

"Shadow, it's time to wake up,"

Jade gently shook Shadow's shoulders, and pulled back the curtains, the morning rays hitting Shadow straight on the face.

Shadow rolled over, burrowing under the blood red sheets. "No..." She groaned, voice muffled by her blankets.

Jade laughed angelically, and pulled back the blankets. "You have to come. Something has happened," Her voice turned bitter with resent towards something, but kept a smile on her face.

Shadow frowned slightly, catching the heavy tone of Jade's voice, but she kept her questions to herself, not wanting to make Jade feel uncomfortable.

Pushing herself off the bed, Shadow pulled open her closet, and picked out a plain black and red dress. Jade left the room, leaving her to change into her clothes and prepare for the day.

Meanwhile In The Throne Room...

"Just wait. She's almost here," Jade told them flatly as she entered, her face revealing nothing and her eyes betraying hate.

Edward, Rosalie, and Alice gasped.

"Jade?" Rosalie whispered. "Y-you're dead,"

"No, I'm not, Rose. I'm assuming you were told by my good-for-nothing sister that I died," Jade explained, her voice bittersweet, but still she put on an angelic smile.

Rosalie opened her mouth to respond, but behind her, the doors opened once again, and this time Shadow stepped in. As soon as she saw the Cullens, she rushed to stand beside Jade.

"Bella? Dad? Renesmee? Rosalie? Alice? What's going on, Jade?" The hybrid whispered, her eyes hardening at the sight of Bella, but softening towards the others.

Jade hissed softly. "Their arrival was... unexpected," Her voice was venomous, and it was coated with hate.

Jane, sensing the tension in the air, spoke up. "It's best you leave now," She warned, her voice betraying authority.

"Alice, Rosalie... Can you stay for a while?" Shadow asked tentatively, her voice delicate like glass.

Alice gave her a strained smile. "I don't know, dear. Ask Aro,"

All of them turned to Aro, awaiting his final verdict. Tension hung in the air, and it felt so tight like it was choking, every second, Shadow felt her hope dimm a little.

Aro opened his mouth, and as the words fell out of his mouth, Shadow gasped.

"Yes,"
