Unexpected Encounter

Prologue

Dream by dream, I watched the power
Of persuasion fly like a dart,
My will was pierced, then all went numb....
Swiftly, he overtook my heart

Dream by dream, I fought surrender,
Then, he transformed my shattered world,
Bravely, I walked toward my captor,
In my hand, the white flag unfurled

Dream by dream, I was overwhelmed,
Now I still ask how can this be,
But could I live without him now....?
Impossible.... He is part of me!

I was walking through some dark corridors of a palace that I've never been before. The air was gently touching my skin. It made me shiver. I was wearing only a white nightgown. When I turned my head to the other side of the corridor, I saw a dark figure standing next to a fountain or that's what I thought it was at first glance. I took three steps forward and suddenly I was petrified because of what I saw. It wasn't a fountain that the figure was standing next to but a pile of human bodies inside a blood bath. The blood created the effect of water, that's why I had mistakenly thought it was a fountain. I was telling myself to run but my body didn't follow my orders.

The figure came closer to me. I could only see now two red eyes and by the height, I could say it was a man. Then suddenly I heard him saying my name. I thought how did he know me. He took another step forward. I could see under the moons light half of his face. To be specific, his red eyes and a bloody mouth. Then he said with a creepy smile «Don't be afraid my love, I've been waiting for hundreds of years for you to come. The time has finally came to fulfil our destiny ».

Even though I felt that I should stay in my position, I started to run as fast as I could. I didn't see behind me if he was following me, but then he was in front of me. He grabbed my hand. I tried to pull back but he was too strong. And then he whispered in my ear in fluent Greek «Θα είσαι δικιά μου σύντομα – You'll be mine soon».

With that sentence written in my mind, I woke up.

In order to understand this dream you should first know my story. Since I was a toddler I was seeing very abnormal dreams for my age, like me dying, vampires etc. At the age of six, I started seeing things that others couldn't. Yes, ghosts. My dreams started to be prophetic. At first I could see conversations and tests that would happen in a week or so.

But after my experience with a real ghost (it happened when I was 6. It was 9 o'clock and I was looking outside the living room's window when I saw a little girl dressed in white. She was holding a china doll and she was looking straight into my eyes. She smiled at me and when I told my mother to come at the window she vanished. Even though the girl was scaring me I couldn't take my eyes of her, like something inside me was telling me this is normal.) , I started dreaming only of death and pain. When I bled for the first time I started dreaming about a man in a black velvet cape .

At the age of 18, I could see only the dream above, which continues till this day, at the age of 21.  Who knows what these dreams mean.

Author's Note : I hope you enjoyed the first part. Btw my protagonists personal  story  is actually mine and 100% real. Also Maria is half greek from her fathers side but a third generation, thats why the last name is brittish. But she can fluently speak and write in greek. Lastly the volturi are actually originated from Greece and eventually they relocated to Italy. That's why the sentence is in greek and not italian.
