Lilla was never normal. She's always been different. Could do thing normal people couldn't. She had to run away from her foster family to protect them and to keep her abilities a secret.
She never thought she would ever fit in with a group of peopl...
When Alec and I left Carlisle office I didn't know what to expect. I had the biggest smile on my face. And I was holding Alec's hand for protection. My bio had been quite eventful and I hadn't even really celebrated it yet.
Everyone was taking, but stopped when we walked in. I started to bit my lip where there was dry flakes. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." I heard Edward saying from the other side of the room. "It's a bad habit and what if you're lip starts bleeding. I know someone who can't control his actions when he's around your blood." Edward laughed. I turn my head to Alec.
Oh, I'm gonna kill him. I mentally say. Don't kill him. And anyways he's already dead. He replied. Whatcha guys talking about? I hear Edward think.
"We're discussing how I'm going to kill you when you're already dead." I yell at him.
"I can't help that his thoughts are loud." Edward laughed.
"Edward, shut up." I tell him. Everyone laughs.
"Okay, if you all don't mind, I would like to get back to my business." The volturi leader said as he held his hand out to me.
"What?" I ask him.
Alec laughed at me. "Lilla, this is Aro. He has a gift that lets him into someone's mind. He'd see everything you ever thought and every memory you've ever had."
"And he expects me just to let him in my head?" I as Alec. "No. No, last time someone was in my head I saw myself die and it wasn't pleasant."
"Trust me, I'm not gonna let you die." Alec replied. I guess he's right. Why do I feel so uneasy? I take a deep breath and prepare myself. I slowly stick my hand out, but quickly swipe it back.
"OH MY GOD." I growl at myself as I run fingers through my hair. I just need to do. Like a bandaid. As quickly as I could, i placed my hand in his.
It wasn't like a vision. I couldn't feel myself being thrown into it. I felt like I was slipping into my own head. I see millions of things. Childhood me riding my purple princess bike. My friends and I swimming in the local pool. My parents crying as I ran away from my home. The chasers. The doe. The Cullens. ALEC. The vision of me dying. I feel the knife in me again. The memory dissolves. The next one was more horrific. It was a nightmare I had a few weeks back. It was like the vision of me getting stabbed, but instead I was in Alec's place and he was in mine. The nightmare wasn't as scary then, but now, I felt like my entire world shattered. Like, there was no light. My throat hurts. The memory dissolves and I know why my throats was hurting.

I'm screaming. I see Aro and all of the other people in the room surrounding us. "Lilla? Lilla?Lilla?" I turn to see Alec. Alive. I quickly grab him and hold him tight as I start to cry.
"Lilla, dear. I'm so sorry. When I saw what was happening I tried to pull away. Your fear held onto me." Aro apologized.
"It's okay." I whine out.
"What did you see?" I heard someone ask.
"The most horrible thing!" I tell them.
"At first it was the vision of her dying. But then it changed over to a nightmare she had. Alec was the one that got stabbed and died." Aro explains. I hear Alec let out a sad 'oh'.
Alec tried to pull me out of the hug, but I refused to let go. "Hey, look at me." He said. I let go slightly, but only to grip his arms a moment later. I look straight into his eyes and he looks into mine. "I'm... not going anywhere. Okay? I could stand to be away from you for even a moment." He says. I see tear line his eyes, but they disappear when his red eyes return. I nodded at him as my tears spill down my cheeks. I blink once and his blue eyes are back, along with the tears that are now sliding down his cheek. He nods back, then pulls me back into his arms.
"Can I have cake, now?" I ask him. He pulls me back out of the hug, giggling along the way.
"Yes, you can have cake, now." He says as he wipes away the remaining tears. The rest of the night was really relaxing. I ate my chocolate cake and opened up every gift. The entire time I was in Alec's arms, because everyone knew if they tried to get us off each other I would kill them.
Eventually, everyone returned to the living room. I thought it was strange to see everyone getting along. I mean, just last year they were all enemies on a battlefield. Now, I see everyone is talking to someone. I decided to question it.
"Hey, Carlisle. Why is everything so good?" My question confused him. "I thought everyone would be at each other's necks?"
"Oh, uh. Well, after you almost died and Felix ran off everyone just sorta agreed that you need to be protected and there is no way that you and Alec could ever be separated by any of us. We'd all just be killed. So, we decided that we'd let you guys do what you wanted to. Even if it meant you guys leave." Carlisle explained. This made the smile on my face grow.

My smile wilted as I got more drowsy. Eventually, I fell asleep. But not before I heard Aro say something.
"You two are different. You're not like other soulmates."
