His Little Mystery

21

Aro - my father- is standing at the end of my bed when I awaken. He actually looks bewildered and worried.

"Don't speak." He says. "Listen."

I do as told, and hear no heartbeats. Mine is gone. My eyes widen and my father pulls me into a hug as I grow scared.

"Where is— Where is my heartbeat?" I ask him.

"I do not know, Esmerelda." He responds. "Carlisle noticed, and sent me up when I arrived. Poor Bree panicked, but i assures her it's just your vampire coming out."

"W-what about my human?" I ask as we go downstairs.

"By the wedding, you will be full vampire." Aro says as we reach the kitchen, where everyone else is- everyone tenses when we enter the room. "Your eyes will be red. Are there humans invited to your wedding?"

"No." I reply. "Only vampires and wolves."

"Good." Aro replies. "So, What do want my elf with?"

This is gonna be a long week... I think to myself as I sit on a stool, eating some grapes.

I step out back and see Aro helping Alice set everything up for the seats. We are using logs as seats. Bree stands beside me and takes my hand.

"Being a vampire isn't bad, mom." Bree assures me. "I promise. Once you guys helped me, I enjoy it. Victoria changed me for her own personal reasons. The Cullen's helped me become a better Vampire."

"They'll be helping me, too." I say. "I already have authority running through my veins, because of who my father is."

"You'll be powerful," Bree whispers as Aro helps Alice and Emmett.

"Why is aro Volturi helping with wedding decorations?" Carlisle asks.

"He offered." Carlisle says.

I have a funny feeling. "I'll be right back."

I flash into the woods, so fast nobody notices me. I dial Edward's phone.

"Oh thank god, Esmerelda." Bella gasps. "I'm nervous! I wanna have sex with Edward...."

I sigh, the bad feeling goes away. "Do it then. My father—- Aro is at the house, helping set up for my wedding."

"Edward...." Bella says before hanging up.

"Hello." Aro greets as he finds me. "Are you alright?"

"Are you?" I ask. "You are away from Felix."

"I figured we needed to be alone for a while." Aro says, looking around. "Forks is actually a lovely little town."

"It is." I reply. "I love it."

"You're to be married in a weeks time," Aro says with a quirky grin. "Are you nervous?"

"Kind of." I reply. "Where is your mate?"

Aro smiles, "back in Italy, the graveyard. Buried beside my sister, Marcus's mate."

"She isn't living?" I frown.

"That is why I went with your mom." Aro says truthfully, looking around at the animals. "She was very beautiful.... Have you seen pictures?"

"No, I haven't." I reply. "I just learned of her that day I met you."

Aro looks at me. "You have my power. Read my thoughts."

I grab his hand and his thought fill my head. Images of my lovely mother hit my brain.

"Wow." I whisper as I let his hands go. "She was beautiful."

"That was in the 90's." Aro smiles. "But what do you feel about your new ability?"

"I like it." I smile. "I look nothing like her."

"You do, when she was seventeen." Aro points out. "I saw pictures."

"Let's head back." I say.

Aro places ha hand on the small of my back as we walk back. The coven freezes as we walk out of the trees. Bree flashes over and hugs me.

"Hi, Aro." Bree greets.

"Hello, Bree." Aro greets. "I'll go inform Carlisle of your ability."

"You have an ability!" Bree gasps as Aro flashes to where Carlisle is. "What is it?"

"Same as Aro's." I reply. "I can see every thought one has ever thought with just one touch."

"That's awesome," Bree says before my throat burns. "Your eyes are black. Come on, let's hunt.... together."
—
The hunt was good, it eased my throat off instantly. Aro looks at me approvingly before I go inside. The mirror by the French doors shows my crimson eyes.

"You're full on vampire now." Aro says. "Now, I have a vampire daughter."

Aro and i stand side by side in the mirror before I flash upstairs. I close my room door and climb onto the roof from my window. I side on the roof, and stare at the moon~ my new relaxation for a night like this.

Bree soon finds me, and wraps a quilt around ya for the comfort. We watch the moon together for the night, just the two of us while everyone else sees up for my wedding in a week.
