ROSES ARE RED • J.Volturi (GxG)

27 | MELANIA

Taking their sweet time, not quite sure what would be the best way to respond, Dickward stepped forward, and took one for the team, Bella practically attached to his hips.

"If you'd arrived half an hour ago, you would've fulfilled your purpose."

Jane seemed to stare Dickward down, before she replied with what I assumed to be some kind of mocking tone, that sent a shiver down my spine.

"Pity."

I could feel as Jane's eyes on me once again, and I wasn't afraid to look up, and meet them with my own.

Alas the confidence boost had only lasted so long, and instantly a warmth crawled up my neck and heated my cheeks. I lowered my head a little, before I looked up at her through my lashes, shyly.

A ghost of a smile drifted onto Jane's face, but as Janet took my hand in hers, the smile that I thought I saw, was replaced with a glare directed at Janet.

I'd got to admit that, even as she glared and scowled, I was turned on.

She was just that hot.

"Who are your new... friends?" She asked, glancing to me, as she was already facing my direction.

Her tone was nothing but menacing, her anger being easily expressed with quite some emphasis on certain words.

It was Carlisle that spoke up this time, his voice more confident than Edward's ever was.

"We offered them asylum in exchange for their surrender."

Her anger seemed to grow tenfold, and she scowled, as the other guards whispered to each other behind her back.

A glare from her set them straight, before she spoke again, her eyes once again drifting over to me, and then to my hands enveloped in Janet and Bree's hands.

"That wasn't your to offer."

Jane moves closer to us, and I watched as confusion crossed her features, looking at the Cullens ring and necklaces on Riley and Bree's hands, and around Janet's neck.

Carlisle spoke up again, as if to answer the mental questions Jane was thinking.

"They've decided to join our coven, and we've accepted them."

I mean it wasn't exactly far from the truth, I had got to admit.

A shock went through me, not painful, just a tingling feeling.

As the tingling continued, I watched as Janet and Bree fell to the floor, releasing my hands from their grips.

It was almost, as they clenched their teeth, like they were in pain, which was weird because I haven't seen anything even touch them.

I was quite confused, but that didn't matter as Jane came forward and trailed a curved finger down my face.

At this point, the tingling had ceased, but I was too distracted.

In fact, I didn't realise she was pulling me into a hug, until her body was flush against mine.

"Il mio fiorellino." She whispered into my ear, as she placed her head in the crook of my neck.

Too lost in the passion, I completely forgot she was a vampire, able to kill me in seconds.

But us, together felt perfect, and I couldn't help but feel as if this connection between us was stronger than with anyone I'd ever been with; it just felt right.

A cough from one of the others, pulled us both from our special moment, and I had gotta admit, I was a little disappointed as she pulled away.

I looked behind Jane, and could see how the Cullens had closed ranks, and how the Volturi seemed to watched us both with a smirk on their faces.

I had wondered what they were smirking at, and then Jane picked me up bridle-style, which made me clutch onto her, for fear of her dropping me.

I had wanted to protest, but Jane held me firmly, careful not to hurt me in any way, and I knew I wouldn't be able to escape her grip.

"Know this, Caius will be interested to know she's still human."

Bella looked at me in her arms, and stepped forward, Edward as ever by her side to defend her.

"The date is set."

Jane stilled for a moment, taken aback by Bella's sudden burst of confidence, before she spoke.

"Anything you would like to say, sugar?"

It took a moment for me to realise she was talking to me, and as soon as I did, I thanked and said my goodbyes to them all.

A nod from Jane to the others, and then we set off, me in her arms.

***

I was hesitant to ask but as she smiled sweetly at me, I forgot my insecurities and spoke.

"Sooooooo, where exactly are we going?"

The brunette boy, that look weirdly like Jane was the one who spoke up, answering my question.

"Volterra, Italy."

Damn. That was a long way away, and I at the moment had nothing with me.

"Wait, what about my stuff?!"

I cried out, panicking both internally and externally.

Jane all but chuckled, before the burly man and the dirty blonde dude lifted up their arms, which held my bags.

I hid my head in her squishy chest, and groaned.

"I'm so stupid."

Instantly Jane scolded me, telling me that I shouldn't say that, and comforted me.

It was at that point that I remembered that she had boobs, and then blushed because that's why it was so comfortable.

She and the others laughed, and I tried to suspend my head in the air, and refrain from putting my head back onto her chest, but I failed miserably, at the speed we were going at.

"It's okay you know, mio Amore." She laughed, and seeing no other way, I placed my head on her chest again.

To be honest, inside I couldn't believe that I was so chill about it, like they practically kidnapped me, but in her arms I felt safe, like nothing could harm me.

Translation:

Il mio fiorellino = My flower

Mio Amore = My love
