The Volturi Princess (COMPLETED)

Chapter Seven: Family Reunion

I gasped. Aro knew where my mother and I lived. Any of the Volturi could come racing in and kill everyone in this room! I HAD to get them out of there.

"Umm... miss? Is something wrong?" The voice came from the confused officer in front of me.

"Oh, um.. no." I sheepishly replied. I needed a cover up story... Or a distraction. I thought hard and for a long time.

I tilted my head to the side and furrowed my eyebrows. "Did you guys hear that?" I asked. They both shook their heads and watched me, confused. I stood up quickly seconds before a new figure bolted through the front door.

He frantically looked around until he spotted me, mom, and the officer. Could it be? The door slammed against the wall and a burst of air entered the room. I caught his scent and my eyes lit up.

"MAX!" I screamed and ran to his arms and hugged him tight in fury and joy. My brother! Gosh, last time I had seen him was when I was 5. I had great memory.

"Suzanna! Oh god, I missed you so much!" He exclaimed and hugged me back tightly. My brother is a werewolf. Yep, the vampires natural enemy. So you're probably wondering how I got stuck with a werewolf as my biological brother?Hell if I know.

I took a few relaxed breaths and wrinkled my nose in disgust. He stank. Not like having not showered for a long time, but his normal smell. I didn't mind it much, but ever since my last vision I've seemed to be acting more like a vampire every second. I shrugged it aside and concentrated on greeting my brother. He let me go and stared into my eyes.

"Mom called me right away and I got here as fast as possible! What happened, are you okay?" He looked at me worriedly. I slowly entered his mind and found out few new things.

1: He knew what I was. 2: He knows of the existence of vampires and knows Aro. Great. 3: last but notleast, I smelled sweet to him. Vampire sweet, and he cringed.

I stared back into his deep blue eyes and explained. "They're here, they know what I can do, and they're coming." He nodded solemnly. I looked my confused mother and the evenly confused officer. I shook my head. "There's no time to explain." My mom nodded.

"Miss, in order to find your kidnapped we need t-" The officer started. I couldn't put any of them in danger.

I looked menacingly back at him and into his eyes, which turned white.

"You do not need a story, and I never went missing. This is all just a misunderstanding. Take all the other officers here, and go back to the station. This never happened. Do Not remember this conversation." He repeated what I said using his own pronouns and turned and left. Soon, everything was back tonormal.

I stalked over to my bathroom upstairs and put some gauze pad on my arm, and worked on cutting off the blood circulation. It hurt, but I didn't feel the pain inside. After I Applied the medical tape to the gauze pad I changed into a black long sleeve t-shirt and black leggings.

Going down the stairs with vampire speed I heard mom and Max talking. I listened but didn't at the same time. I was suddenly sitting on the couch when their conversation ended. They became aware of my presence.

A dead silence hung in the air. I Needed to get a few things cleared up, I decided.

"Mom I-" I began. She looked at me the same way she did when I returned from the clock tower.

"SUZANNA KRISTINE! WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?!" She screamed at me. I was taken aback. Why was she yelling? It wasn't MY fault! "I'm sorry." She sighed and quickly apologized. "I can't exactly explain..." I said.

"Can't explain? You better have a damn good reason why you can't explain!" She was furious. I Couldn't tell her and risk the Volturi stepping in, I wouldn't do that. "I don't..." I trailed off. I looked at Max for some help but he just shook his head. I took a deep breath, trying to relax. I Heard foot steps soft as snow and the smell of something overly sweet. I heard no heartbeat, no breath. I felt the air tense up and I Looked towards the door in unison with my brother. A minute later three soft raps sounded at the door.

My mother looked confused and began to walk to open it, but Max gestured for her to stay down as he unlocked the door. It swung to the side and two men stood there. Their cloaks were black as night and their hoods hung low over their bent heads.My eyes widened with surprise and worry. They had come for me. The Two men stepped inside despite my brothers glares. He couldn't phase in front of mom, that would scare her half to death. Max looked at me and I immediately understood. We had to get mom out of here.

"Umm.. Hey mom.." I hated to do this, but it was for her safety now. I met her gaze and sighed,continuing, "Go for a drive around the city, and do not come back for an hour," I turned my gaze to Max but did not put him into a trance like mom "and Max will be waiting for you. He will explain."She nodded, her eyes milky white and strode to her car.
