I sit in my new Maserati, trying to think of somewhere to go. 

I smirk and put my car in gear before starting to drive to a place my friends had talked about here in Volterra.

I stop and get out of my car and look around, making sure no one is around. 

I smirk and get back into the Maserati before starting to drive down the dead end street. 

I feel so free. 

So happy. 

So alive. 

I laugh as I go faster than the wind. I slow down and stop, not wanting to run into anything.

I continue my giggling as my phone rings. I pick it up and sigh.

"Hello?"I ask.

"Hey, Angel!"My friend, Seth, answers.

"Hey Seth! How is Jacob?"I ask.

"I don't know. He took off once he got the wedding invitation from Edward and Bella."Seth says.

"Oh."I say.

"Yeah."Seth agrees.

"Well, I'll be home in a few months and I'll be there in time for the wedding so tell Edward and Bella to expect me there."I say.

"Will do. By the way, Paul misses you."Seth mentions my boyfriend, Paul.

"I miss him too. But why hasn't he answered my calls?"I ask.

"He morphed when he had his phone in his hands and he kinda crushed it."Seth says.

"Oh, my little werewolf."I laugh. 

Yeah, you read right. My boyfriend is a werewolf! 

And so are Seth, Jacob, and my other friends, Leah, Sam, Embry, Jared, and Quil. 

And my other friends, Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Esme, and Carlisle are all vampires. 

Too bad Seth and I are the only one's who like them. 

And Bella is my best friend who is marrying Edward and then getting turned into a vampire. 

Yeah. I hang out with a weird bunch but I love each and every one of them.

"So, how is Volterra?"Seth asks.

"Beautiful! Tell Carlisle and Esme thanks for the ticket here!"I say.

"I will."Seth says.

"And tell Paul to call me somehow. I need to hear his voice, as cheesy as that sounds."I smile.

"Okay. I gotta go. Sam needs to talk to everyone but I'll get Paul to call you. Love you!"He says.

"I love you too! Bye!"I smile before I hang up.
 Man, I miss Paul.

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati .

Free.

Wild.

Fun.

I sigh before driving back into town. I park my car and get out, deciding to do some sightseeing on foot. 

I grab my phone, keys, wallet, and other valuables before locking my car. 

I take a few pictures on my phone before a pretty lady comes up to me.

"Hi. Would you like to join the tour?"She asks. 

I look into her eyes and can tell, she's a vampire.

"Um, no thank you."I say.

"Please? I need one more person to get into the castle."She says. 

"I don't know....."I say.

"Please?"She almost begs. 

I sigh and nod. She smiles.

"Thank you!"She says before we go to the castle. 

It's absolutely beautiful. I look around before realizing something. 

This is the Volturi castle. 

Edward had warned me about this place before I came!

"Oh no."I whisper, looking around for an escape. 

Oh no! How am I gonna get myself out of this one? 

I don't even notice we've walked into the throne room until the screaming begins.

I try to keep quiet but I can't help but squeal as a dead body nearly falls on me.

"Think, think, think."I whisper, looking around. 

Before I know it, someone's lips are on my neck, about to drink my blood.

"Not her, Alec!"I hear someone call out. 

The one about to drink my blood growls before moving on to someone else. 

After all the humans other than me are sucked dry, I look at the thrones to see Marcus, Aro, and Caius. 

Aro smiles and looks at me.

"Hello, Aro."I say. 

Everyone gasps at me knowing his name.

"How do you know my name, child?"Aro asks, completely interested in knowing why.

"Because I know the Cullen's."I say.

"Of course! The Cullen's have done it again!"Caius growls angrily.

"Peace, brother."Aro says before he holds out his hand. 

I walk up to him and take his hand. He smiles.

"Ah, the girl knew about vampires before she met the Cullen's."Aro says.

"How?"Caius asks.

"My father was turned into a vampire when I was ten years old. His name was James and he was killed by the Cullen's. That's how I met them, actually. I was thanking them for killing him."I say.

"And why were you thanking them?"Marcus asks.

"Because my father tried to drink my blood every single day. I was happy I didn't have to bother with him anymore. But the Cullen's felt sorry for me and took me in and I still reside with them today."I say.

"Well, my dear, I must tell you. You have to be changed into a vampire."Aro says.

"What? Why?"I ask, even though I'm sure I already know the answer.

"Because you are a human who knows about us and it's becoming a vampire or being killed."Aro says. 

I was afraid of that!

"And then what happens after I'm changed?"I ask.

"You stay with us."Aro says.

"Why can't I stay with the Cullen's?"I ask.

"Because you will have a useful power once you're changed and your mate lives here."Aro says.

"So, my 'Edward' is a Volturi member?"I ask.

"Precisely."Aro says.

"Jane. Alec. You both will be her protectors until next month."Aro says.

"Why until next month?"I ask.

"Because that's when you'll be changed."Aro says. 

I nod, even though I'm terrified out of my mind. Ugh, don't let them see you're scared, Angel!

"Jane, Alec, please show Angel to her bedroom."Aro says.

"How do you know my name?"I ask. 

He looks down at our still holding hands. I pull mine away before Alec and Jane look at me.

"Follow, human."Jane says before turning and walking out of the room with her brother.
