The Art Of Imprinting

Chapter 15

Today is the day. 

I'm getting out. 

I'm moving.

I will never get to see Paul again.

My Uncle is Aro, the head of the Volturi in Volterra, Italy. 

I'm as good as dead. 

Ever since  they have been here, Paul has been smothering me, never leaving me. He won't even sleep. It had been a couple of days. My memory is getting worse. 

They say it's from all the stress that I'm under. Sometimes I  can't even remember how I got in the hospital.

The Doctor told me that soon I wouldn't remember my past at all. I was glad though. It only brought me pain whenever I tried to think about it.

"Lilly, can you see any Ghosts as of this moment?" Aro asked. I nodded, Paul took my right hand and held it firmly.

"Wonderful. We will talk about this talent more in the future when we return home!" He clapped his hands together. Some other people walked into the room. It was now Paul, Aro, his wife, and then four other people that I didn't recognize. Two of them were twins, a boy and a girl. The other two people were really well built and they were all vampires.

They curled up there mouths and held cloth in front of their faces. "Mutt." The girl called out. Paul growled lowly, scrunching up his nose as if he smelt something bad.

"Don't talk to Paul like that." I retorted, angrily.

She sneered at me and Aro raised his hand, silencing the room.

"Lilly, these are very special people. Felix is very strong and will be your permanent Body Guard as well as Dimitry." Dimitry stiffened and looked at me with black eyes. "I think you need to go feed." I told him. 

Aro just looked amused. "Interesting, we all fed together and he's the only one that needs more." Aro grinned at him and then turned to me again. "This is Jane and Alec. Twins that are very unique." I raised my eyebrows but didn't say anything. 

It wasn't until now that I looked around the room to see that it was filled with ghosts. They kept murmering things that I couldn't understand. My hair rose on the arms and the back of my neck and I locked eyes with one particular ghost. 

"He's mine." She said. She looked like she was about 15 and I just stared at her with wide eyes. "What?" I squeaked out. 

"He. Is. Mine." Suddenly she dissapeared and then reappeared in front of the bed. "MINE!" She yelled. 

I screamed shut my eyes really hard. 'Come on, Lilly. Block them out. Block them out. Block them out.' I felt someone touch my arm and Paul growl loud. 

That broke my concentration and I heard the voices but one in particular. "You stay away from him if you know whats good." 

I focused on a wall in my brain. I pictured bringing it up, blocking me from seeing them. Once it was all the way up, I felt someone Let go and jump back.

Once I let my eyes open, and calmed my breathing, I realised that everyone was against the wall except for Paul.

It was then that I passed out.

I woke up later to see Paul was gone. There was a note and all of my backs were packed and sitting in the chaird and on the floors next to my bed.

A nurse smiled at me and held out an outfit.  "Here, I'll help you change and then you'll be on your way!"

"I don't need help changing, just lock the door." I stubornly replied. Just as I reached for the note, the nurse took it and gave me my clothes instead. I huffed before telling her to turn around.

Once she was turned, I took off the gown and after quite a struggle, put on my bra and T-shirt. I was in so much pain that I had to ask the nurse to help me finish dressing. It was embarrassing but I only focused on how bad my back and arm was hurting.

"There you go, let me help you into the wheel chair." It took a totall of thirty minutes to get me from my bed to the wheel chair. I couldn't walk yet because of something to do with my back. Once I was in Italy, I would be assigned a physical Therapist and immediately start the sessions.

once in the wheel chair, she rolled me out of the door where Felix and Dimitri stood. They both politely smiled at me and I tried to smile back but it must have came out as a Grimace. They both gave me sympathetic looks. I guess they were standing out here while I was trying to change and get into the wheel chair.

They went in and grabbed my bags. They gave the impression that the bags were heavy and they were struggling for the other humans but I know that it wasn't even heavy to them. They had super strength. 

I was wheeled out to a limo. A LIMO?!

Oh yeah, they were rich.

Aro stood there, grinning at me, holding his hands happily.

"Where's Paul?" I asked. Aro nodded at the nurse while I saw Felix and Dimitri put my stuff in the trunk.

The nurse gave me a note and I Quickly opened it to read it.

Dear Lillian Elizabeth Smith,

Sam and the rest of his pack had to lock Paul up today or he would have challenged the Volturi and  they would have killed him immediately. Sorry that you cannot see him today, I know how special your bond is.

I would like to appologise for everything we've put you through. I love you so much and when Saphire came allong, I threw you to the side as if you were nothing. I know that I can never make up for sending you to live in Italy with your human Uncle and Aunt.

However, I was just informed that you'll be living with the Volturi for a while. They are going to protect you and they have swore not to turn you into a vampire unless you have given them the OK.

Emmett and I miss you like crazy and we love you, still. Nothing can change that. I'll keep sending you things, keep in touch.

Love, Rosalie and Emmett

(Parents for a while)

P.S. Alice, Edward, Jasper, Carlisle, and Esme all wish you well.

I didn't realise that I had been holding me breath untill I read it three times and Dimitri touched my shoulder saying in a stern comanding tone, "Breath."

The nurse gave me my inhaler and I quickly used it. I nodded at the nurse. "Thanks." I squeaked out.

She nodded before going to help me into the car.

I wish Paul was here, I thought as a single tear went down my face.
