Chapter 05:


The burn. Jesus, there just aren't words in any language to describe it so I won't even try. I just had to hang on for the ride. I didn't want to lose myself to it though, so I did what Demetri suggested and concentrated around the pain on all of the things that were important to me, Demetri being front and center.

I also catalogued everything I could remember about the Cullen coven. I knew we would all meet again, and I wanted to be prepared. In that vein of thought, I made sure to review my knowledge of fighting detail by detail. I knew weapons were out, but the hand to hand combat training would be useful.

I didn't spend much time on family. I hadn't been particularly close to either of my parents by the time I left Charlie's, and so I was content to let them fade into distant memories. It was kind of hard to have a close relationship with your Police Chief father when you're busy becoming a killer after all.

By the time I felt my heart speeding up and the burn receding from my extremities, I was pretty confident that I had solidified all of the important memories and knowledge in my mind.

My heart raced to a point that I thought it would burst in my chest and then it just stopped. I gasped. My eyes flew open and I took my first look around as a vampire. It was disorienting to say the least. I took a minute to adjust and then looked to my left. There was Demetri. I took in another breath. His scent was intoxicating. Very masculine. Kind of like the freshest sea breeze with a hint of citrus. It reminded me of the Mediterranean coast.

I was sitting up before the thought to do so even finished registering. He smiled at me. "Hello Cara. You were always beautiful, but now you are stunningly so, my sweet. How do you feel?"

I took a moment to think about it. "I feel as though everything is amplified. But otherwise I feel fine. Except my throat. It burns.

He nodded. "The burn of the thirst. We will quench that as soon as you feel you are ready. Would you like to get up and get used to moving around?"

I nodded and was standing within a second. "Whoa. I guess it'll take some practice moving at human speed." I looked at him.

"It will. But you'll become used to it in no time. Vampires learn quickly. Take a walk around the rooms and look in the mirror while you're at it. Would you like to change your clothes? It might be advisable before we go to meet the kings.

I looked down at myself. "Yeah, sweats probably aren't the best thing to wear to the throne room." I smiled. Then I had a thought that made me frown a bit. "Will I even be able to dress myself Demetri?"

He smirked. "We won't know until you try Cara. If you need help," He shrugged "I am here to help you. I promise to peek as much as I can." He grinned.

"I don't mind you peeking at the goods Demi, and I especially don't mind you touching." I molded myself to his front and put my arms around his neck, playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. "I just don't want to be reduced to infant status as far as doing everyday things." He kissed me gently.

"It all takes practice Cara. I won't let you fail. Shall we get some different clothes and try?" I nodded and backed away. "Let's do this."

Five shirts and two pair of pants later, I was dressed. I didn't even attempt the shoes. I didn't have that many available to ruin. Demetri put them on for me.

"Looks like I'll have to do some shopping." He smiled at me.

"You might want to do that online until you can control the thirst."

I smirked. "Yeah, I guess draining the clerk would cause a bit of a stir in the store, not to mention scare the hell out of the other customers."

He motioned to the door. "Let's be on our way Cara." He then placed a dark gray cloak on me and donned his own that was almost black.

We left his rooms and the trip to the throne room took much less time. When we got to the doors, he stopped me. He took my face in his hands.

"Bella, when Heidi brings the humans in, I want you to stop breathing until it's time to feed, alright? When it is time to feed, take a breath and try to control yourself for as long as you can. In this way, you will learn control and how to resist the thirst. Try not to attack viciously. Maintain control while you approach your kill and try to calmly bite and feed. Concentrate on maintaining control so that you don't mutilate your kill badly. It will be difficult, but I know that you can do it Cara. You had that kind of discipline in your human life and I'm sure it's carried over."

I nodded and kissed him. "I'll try Demi, but I can tell it's going to be damn difficult. My throat is on fire, and I can just barely smell their blood.

"It's actually Giana that you smell. I took you the long way around so that you wouldn't want to eat the receptionist. Felix is rather fond of her." He smirked.

I grinned. "Yeah, I wouldn't want him pissed at me for eating his shorty."

He looked a little confused. "She's taller than you." I laughed.

Just then the doors opened and we were welcomed in by Alec. "It's nice to see you as an immortal Isabella. We were not formally introduced, but I am Alec, Jane's brother." He bowed. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

He was very polished and elegant, albeit young looking. Quite beautiful really. "The pleasure's mine Alec. I hope we can be friends." He grinned then.

"I hope so too, even though you royally pissed off my dear sister just days ago. No one's ever pissed her off that badly, and it's a timeless rule that brothers always appreciate anything that can do that to their sister."

I laughed and patted his cheek. "Well, I'm happy to be of service Alec, as long as her power doesn't start to miraculously work on me. Then you're on your own 'cause I've heard what her power is supposed to feel like and fuck that. I just spent a couple of days in hell, thanks."

He laughed and it was a beautiful sound. "It's a deal Isabella."

Demetri was frowning a bit and he pulled me into his side. I looked at him and smiled. Was he getting jealous?

"We'd better go present you to the kings." And he began leading me away.

I looked back over my shoulder. "Bye Alec!"

We made our way to the dais and bowed and Demetri spoke. "Masters, may I present Isabella as an immortal." They all three nodded their heads regally and Aro approached me. "You make a breathtaking immortal Isabella. How do you feel my dear?"

"Thank you for the compliment Master Aro. I feel really good aside from the burn of the thirst."

"Ah yes, Heidi should be here within moments. If you listen carefully, you may begin to hear them approach. Demetri, take your place and keep Isabella with you."

We both bowed and Demetri led me over to stand beside Felix. He grinned at me "Welcome back Isabella. You look fantastic." Demetri tightened his grip on my hand just a bit, the expression on his face neutral.

I smiled and thanked Felix. Then the scents hit me and I stiffened. Oh god, I had to have it! I looked at Demetri, a bit panicked and he caressed my face. "Remember my words Cara. I have every confidence in you."

His words were just what I needed to steel my resolve and I held my breath. I nodded twice to him and smiled.

The 'tour group' shuffled in with Heidi leading them and the double doors shut with a solid thud. Aro stood and stepped forward, his arms spread wide, a smile on his face. "Welcome to Volterra! Today we celebrate a new member among our ranks. Please welcome Isabella." He gestured over to me and I took a step forward and bowed my head once, then stepped back. As soon as he was done speaking, pandemonium broke out as everyone converged on the group. Demetri led me forward and then released my hand as he approached his own kill.

I zeroed in on a man standing beside his wife who was now being drained by Caius. He looked to be in shock. I began to breath. It was almost unbearable but I was able to stop myself from rushing. I walked to the man and grabbed him by the shoulders reaching up carefully and tilting his head to the side, I leaned in and bit down. He began to struggle so I embraced him in my arms securely but not so tight as to crush him.

I savored the blood that was rushing due to his panic. It was sweet ambrosia and I didn't want to waste any of it but it was over all too soon and he was limp in my arms, eyes vacant. I dropped him and looked for another. A few feet away was a young woman and I went to her and repeated my careful actions. She was dead soon after, and I felt sated and remorseless. They were food, nothing more.

I spied Demetri back in his place next to Felix and I went to him. He embraced me and whispered "Not a drop wasted Cara. Well done. I knew you could do it." He kissed me quickly, and I moved into place beside him. I felt pride well up within me. Yes, I knew I was made for this life. I was now where I belonged.

I took in the scene of the room. The clean-up crew was already at work. I guessed by their light gray cloaks that these are the regular guard that also get stuck with the dungeon duty. I felt my lip curl a bit. I was too good for such things and I wasn't afraid to admit it. I remembered Demetri's words about modesty and the Volturi and lifted my chin. Fuck modesty. I am here to kick ass.

After the clean up was done, Aro called Demetri and me over to him. He was standing with Alec and Jane at his side.

"Isabella, we would like to try Alec's talent on you and then I have an experiment in mind that I would like to try to get you to manifest any gift you may have my dear. Are you willing?"

I bowed my head to him. "Of course Master. I am anxious to discover my gift and to master it. I will be happy to participate."

He smiled widely. "Splendid!" He motioned to Alec. "Alec, if you will please."

"Yes Master." He moved to stand several feet from me and gazed at me with concentration. I began to notice a mist creeping toward me. It engulfed my lower body, but there was an area all around me that remained untouched and I remained unaffected. Alec grinned and Aro clapped.

"Perfect Isabella. It seems that you are a physical shield as well as a mental shield. Now to discover if you can manifest the shield to protect others. Demetri, if you will step several feet away from Isabella? Jane dear, if you will?"

Jane smiled an evil smile "With pleasure Master." She cast her gaze onto Demetri and he dropped to his knees with a gasp of pain, his fists clenched at his sides. I began to panic. He made no sounds for several moments and then began to groan and pant through the pain. Oh god, I had to help him! No sooner had that thought entered my mind when a shimmering bubble like structure engulfed him and he fell forward onto his hands panting now in relief.

Aro clapped and laughed delightedly and Jane glanced up at him in surprise. "Fantastic Isabella! What a talent my dear. I apologize for using Demetri in such a way, but it was the quickest way to get results for you see, a shield is meant to protect, and protect him you did."

I went to Demetri and helped him stand. I looked in his eyes giving him a silent apology. He smiled at me weakly, and winked.

Aro called a lower guard. "Retrieve the cloak from my throne please." The guard brought over a cloak the same shade as Demetri's and Jane's.

Demetri reached out and removed the lighter shade cloak and Aro placed the darker one around me.

"Due to the valuable nature of your talent my dear, you are being placed into the Elite Guard. You must continue to practice with and improve your gift to maintain your rank my dear. You will be reevaluated in a month. If, in that time, you have mastered your gift to an acceptable level, you will be issued the Volturi Elite Guard pendant, and your rank will be made permanent. Is this acceptable to you Isabella?"

I bowed deeply and rose to meet his eyes. "Yes Master. It is my honor to earn my place within the Elite Guard. I shall not fail you."

His eyes held an anticipatory gleam in them. "Wonderful my dear. I look forward to seeing just what you can do in a month! You are all dismissed dear ones." He waved a hand absently as he returned to sit with his brothers.

The walk back to Demetri's rooms was mostly silent. We entered the rooms and I took his hand and led him to the bedroom. I turned to him and kissed him gently, caressing his face. I took a step back and removed his cloak, then carefully began working on the buttons of his shirt. We both remained silent. Words seemed to have no place with us at the moment.

Once I had his shirt off, I began to kiss his neck slowly making my way downward until I swirled my tongue around the hard bud of his nipple. I sucked the little bead in and gave it a gentle nip. He sucked in a breath and tangled his hands in my hair.

I continued my journey down the hard plains of muscle that rippled over his ribs and abs. I dropped to my knees and began to work on his belt and trousers, then I reached down and pulled off his shoes and socks. He stepped out of everything sweeping it all off to the side.

He stood in front of me looking glorious, his member hard and ready for me. I ran my hands up his legs to his hips and leaned forward, placing light kisses on first one hip and then the other. He groaned and gave a little thrust forward in impatience. I chuckled lightly and then ran my hand over to grasp him firmly at the base. I nuzzled my nose at the base and then ran my tongue all the way up his length swirling it around the tip.

He whispered my name and tightened his grip in my hair just a bit. I sucked him in as far as I could and drew back to the tip. He was silky and hard and wonderful. He groaned and thrust gently forward. I took his cue and began to suck and bob on him as I reached down to massage his sack. He was thrusting lightly in a rhythm now and his sack was beginning to tighten up. He was close.

I drew him in as far as I could and swallowed as I tugged on his sack gently. He groaned my name out lowly and released. I swallowed all he gave me.

He pulled me up to meet him in a passionate kiss and backed me to the bed. He took his time undressing me, kissing every bit of new flesh as it was revealed to him. Laying me back on the bed, he placed my legs over his shoulders and nuzzled my center with his nose and lips.

He parted my folds with his fingers and ran his tongue all the way from my entrance to my clit, swirling around and over it when he reached it. I felt him enter me with two fingers which he curled to reach that wonderful spot within me.

He set up a rhythm with tongue and fingers and soon I felt the coil within me tighten. He sucked my clit in between his lips while plunging and curling those fingers to press against my g-spot and I screamed his name as I came harder than I had ever come before. I literally felt him smile as he continued to coax me through my orgasm.

He crawled up to take my mouth in a deep kiss thrusting his tongue into my mouth as he parted my legs and thrust into my entrance. I moaned at the sensation and threw my head back. He kissed my neck as he pushed himself as deeply as he could. His arms were on either side of my head, tangled in my hair and he looked deeply into my eyes.

He gave another few deep thrusts and said "You are mine Isabella." Another deep thrust. "Mine Cara." Another thrust and I moaned out "Yours Demi." I wrapped my legs up around his hips and lifted to meet him. He didn't disappoint, stroking into me all the way to his base. "Only yours Demi." I met his eyes. "I love you."

He reached down and lifted my hips a bit and slowly stroked into me. "I love you too Cara." He dropped his face and nuzzled my neck. "Come with me Isabella." He thrust three more times deeply and I closed my eyes as I felt my release rush through me from my center. I held to him tightly as he rode out his orgasm filling me with his essence.



* * *



He rolled to the side taking me with him. We smiled at each other. What a day this had been. I was a full fledged vampire. I was a member of the Volturi Elite. I was in love with Demetri, and he loved me back.

Yes, I was ready to go out and kick some serious ass. And I knew which ones to start with. I felt an evil smirk slide into place. Yes, a good day indeed.
