Shell Shocked (CARLISLE FANFIC)

P R O L O G U E

1800s

It was a quite day here in Italy as normal. The sun was out and the markets were full of people shopping and dancing out in the streets. Oh how she longed to go out there and join those her human age, but she knew full well she couldn't. Not because of how her skin would dance under the sun, she could always make up some excuse and say she had a skin allergy which caused her skin to do so. But because of who she was. She was the leader of the Vultori and therefore in a way the leader of the vampire world. If she was to go out there Aro would surely have her neck snapped from the rest of her body! So she would just have to watch from her tower window. A knock on the door is what jumped her out of her thinking state, she wasn't expecting anyone after all.

"Come in". She sang. She watched as the door slowly began to open to reveal Carlisle, one of Aros poor Servant or guard or whatever the second in command would call them. Adelaide herself would call them minions. "Oh Carlisle". She breathed at the man before her as he walked in fully. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you". She slowly walked over to the man in front of her and placed her delicate cold hands on his just as cold palms.

"I like to know I am missed". He teased.

"You weren't seen were you?" She asked him concern lacing her voice. She didn't care if the whole world knew she was with him, but for his sake no one could know.

"Of course not you know I am careful." He reassured her. "And if I was, I can just say I was bringing you some tea". He smiled down at her laughing body. She was young in her human years that was for sure. But she wasn't. She must of been about twenty when she was changed into the immortal she is now. Him himself was twenty five when he was changed, but they didn't care they were happy and as long as Aro never found out they were as happy as can be.

"You make me happy". She breathed looking up at the blonde man. She leant up slightly so she could capture his lips with her own. As she pulled away she heard something coming from the main hall. A man, a vampire was being ripped the shreds by Aro. "Another one?" She breathed.

"I'm afraid so". Carlisle looked down ashamed that he couldn't stop Aro, it made Adelaide sad every time someone was killed and he wished he had the power to stop the power maniac. She pulled away from the man she loved and walked to the doors that contained her.

"Where are you going?" Carlisle asked as he flashed over to the door.

"To stop him". She stated innocently.

"If Aro knew that it was me who let you out he would most surely kill me and maybe even you".

"I am the head of the Vultori Carlisle not him, I would like to see him try and take me". She snapped pulling on the rusty old double doors as they creaked open. "Don't worry my dear he won't know it was you, you have my word".
