Special Ability [Alec Volturi]

Chapter Nine

Carlisle flew to Italy with Edward, Emmett and Rosalie. Edward, Emmett and Rosalie were with Alice and Jasper training but Carlisle was with me in a smaller training room that was decorated like a forest just for me, helping me try to control my gift. I still was scared to touch people but he made me touch him and focus my gift. I broke down but Carlisle spoke softly to me and asked me to just control the element part of my gift. I lifted rock and water into a tornado, I controlled it perfectly. But then an alarmed sounded causing me to lose my constration.

"Damn, Poppy. Leave now. Find Alice." Carlisle told me then rushed off. I felt confused but quickly left and ran into Alice in the hallway.

"Come with me." She spoke grabbing my arm and pulling me threw the halls passing Emmett and Jasper to then quickly followed behind. In an inhuman speed we made our way to the back doors and passed them outside into the evening air. I noticed many people, vampires, marching into a large vehicle. But Alice and I made our way to a slightly smaller vehicle where Aro, Marcus, Alec and Jane. I sat between Jasper and Alice in the very back sitting on the floor of a military like vehicle. I was really nervous and confused at was happening the the vehicle already started moving.

"Alice." I spoke. "What's going on?" I asked her, my voice shaking.

"The war has started, sweetie." She said blatantly. My voice caught in my throat.

"But I'm not ready." I spoke in shook to myself but Alice grabbed my hand and held it tight as we drove. Everyone was already in battle mode. I wasn't ready but it was already to late.

I stood in a field next to Alice. I had no idea where anyone else went due to my hyper focus but we were there hand and hand waiting for death to come. I was scared but anticipating. I faced death once, this was easy. I noticed movement then it all happened at once. One creature leaped from the shadow and everyone attacked. Aro stood directing people. Alice ran into battle leaving me alone but in that split second I moved so fast, I could barley ready myself. I rushed into battle, I held a creature by the neck and sucked the life out of them. I saw creatures being dissembled, burned and cut apart, as well as other vampires. I could not see anyone in the mix but still tried to make my way past. I broke a tree from the ground feeling the power pulse threw me and tossed it against creatures impaling them on another tree. The forest was the perfect place. I saw many creatures and vampires in the trees hiding and pouncing. it was all so much. The wind picked up and I caught it spinning it into a large tornado that picked up many of the creatures and knocking me off my feet in the process.

"Alice!" I called out in fear, but no one was around. My body felt stiff. A creature came toward me but I grabbed a hold of him and felt that blackness surround me, it stayed even after I let go of the now dead creature. I felt my mind wander. It hurt. Something was taking control of me. I was defenseless as I fell to my knees in the grass. The black cloud never left me. I heard a voice in my head like something was triggering my madness.

"Poppy!" I heard the soft voice of Alice yell causing me to look up and see three creatures coming for me at once. I couldn't move my body hurt. Alice came running and grabbed one of them but the other two were coming for me at great speed I reached out but before I could weakly defend myself, I felt a intense pressure on my body, being pushed back as Alice dissembled the creatures that wanted to hurt me. I heard someone gasp and opened my eyes to see Alec laying before me lifeless holding on to my hand tightly but the rest of his body was not moving and colder than usual. The black cloud filled me and my body hurt. He looked like pain. I cried out for help but I felt like it was too late, I killed him. Even though I wished so much that I was wrong.

Alice ran to me. Aro returned only moments later. He told me Alec was still alive but barley. He could die any moment. My chest hurt. I wanted to cry. I'm in love with him and just realized it now. Aro and Jane grabbed Alec. Jane growled at me giving me an intense stare of anger.

"Jane, no. Just help me get Alec back." Aro spoke with power in his voice. Jane turned away from me but I felt her anger. They left but Alice stayed. The war was pretty much over. There were no more creatures, I sat in a field of dead bodies. Alice went to touch my shoulder but I pulled away. I killed him. I did. I couldn't.

"Please. I need-" I started to say, my voice cracking. Alice nodded knowing what I wanted. She left, running to help with Alec. I just sat there kneeling on the ground in a sea of dead bodies. I wanted to be there laying near the creatures and any vampires who had been on the short end. My head was no longer cloudy. The black was gone, and I was gone. I'll never be the same again.

It hit me hard. I screamed in horror and pain. I stood up and ran. Never stopping. I left. Everything. My heart broken and my mind off. I felt hollow. I ran as fast as I could, not knowing where I was going. Leaving everything behind.

After a few hours I found myself in Paris. I stood in the darkness under the Eiffel Tower alone. I hurt the one I love. I betrayed the one's who cared for me. I can't face them again. I just beg and plead that Alec will be okay though I truly believe I killed the one I love, which I will have to live with for the rest of my never endding life. This is my punishment. And this is the end of my story.
