Summary: You’re being bullied by other guards in the castle without Demetri knowing. Only, this time the twins intervene. Demetri comes home to the trial of the vampire that bugged you when the twins stepped in.
Living with perfect creatures as an imperfect human is a real challenge. One you accepted without a doubt because it meant being with Demetri, your mate.
The fact that Demetri is part of the elite guard within the Volturi often results in you having to listen to rude comments from the lower guard. The insults varied from comments about your weight to comments about the way you dressed. But more often than not, there were threats about how easy it would be for them to hurt you. They’re right of course, there isn’t a lot you can do to protect yourself from vampires.
It was easier to ignore the comments about how you looked than the threats on your life. If there’s one thing you realised after you started seeing a vampire is how fragile your life is. There’ve been a few times when one of the guards took a hold of you. Luckily for you, before things would get too bad someone would always appear in the hallway.
—–
You pass a guard on the way to the kitchen. A scowl is already plastered on his face and he mutters something under his breath. You walk a little faster wanting to get out of there as soon as possible. Out of the corner of your eye you can see his hand shoot out. His hand roughly wraps itself around your upper arm. He’s about to say something to your face, but before he can he’s screaming out of agony. You’re positive that wasn’t your fault so you frantically look around and your eyes land on the twins.
Jane is focused on the guard crippling on the floor while Alec gives you a once over, looking for evident injuries as they make their way towards you. Alec’s eyes linger on your upper arm, making you look down. The bruises from the guard’s hand are forming rapidly. You lay your own hand over the bruises, hiding them from view.
When they reach you, Jane wraps her arm around your shoulders and escorts you to the throne room. Alec following behind with the guard.
When you enter the throne room only Caius is sitting on his throne with Felix next to him. A puzzled expression takes over his features as he takes in the scene in front of him. You walking in between Jane and Alec while Alec holds onto the dishevelled vampire.
Despite the rumours that Caius is as ruthless as they come, you actually get along with the king. You often converse about certain books or play a game of chess together.
“What’s the meaning of this,” Caius coldly asks, clearly not happy we interrupted his conversation with Felix.
You cower a little at the sound of his voice.
Alec pushes the guard forward. “We found him harassing, y/n.”
To accentuate Alec’s words, Jane removes your hand from the bruises. The handprint is clearly visible right now.
Felix rushes to the guard holding his neck in his hands, ready for an order from Caius. Ready to defend you, his best friend’s mate.
Meanwhile Caius’ face betrays nothing. But then his brows furrow while he looks at your bruises. He stands from his throne and walks until he’s standing in front of you. He takes your bruised arm in his hand while the fingers of his other hand caress bruises that already faded from earlier encounters.
“It seems like this wasn’t the first time,” he says, voice hard, making your breathing halt and Felix’s grip tighten.
“Was this the first time something like this has happened,” he softly asks you.
You cast your eyes down while slowly shaking your head ‘no’.
Before Caius can react, the doors open once more, revealing Demetri. He must’ve just gotten back from his mission and come here to report. You see his eyes take in the scene in front of him. Caius standing in front of you, still holding onto your arm. The twins flanking both of your sides. And Felix holding one of the lower guards in a death grip.
He falters in his steps, but recovers fast and saddles up next to you when Jane moves to make room for him. As soon as he stands next to you, he gives you a once over, his eyes immediately landing on the fresh bruises. Fury flares up in his eyes.
“Who did this,” he asks, his voice shaking as he tries to stay calm.
The guard practically answers his question by cowering.
“We walked in on him harassing, y/n. So we took him here. Master Caius was just evaluating the situation before deciding what to do. But then you waltzed in here, halting the process,” Jane answers him.
He simply nods before taking your hand in his, waiting for Caius’ verdict.
Caius walks towards his throne and sits down before he starts talking: “Y/n is part of the Volturi. Yes, she is human, but she is Demetri’s mate. And she will become one of us. Therefore every despicable action against her will be severely punished. Let this be a warning for all the other guards. Felix, you know what to do.”
And just like that, the guard’s fate is sealed. Demetri excuses the both of you and starts walking toward the doors, seconds before Felix rips the guard’s head off.
You silently walk next to Demetri as you make your way to your room. He’s clearly fuming and you can’t blame him. You can understand why. You never told him the other guards were bugging you. And when he comes home from a mission that took several weeks, he finds you bruised standing in front of Caius. He always swore to protect you and he must think he failed you somehow.
Once he closes the door to your bedroom, he starts: “Why didn’t you tell me? How long has this been going on? How could you keep this from me? You’re supposed to tell me when people are hurting you.”
Worry, anger, frustration, hurt. All those emotions are clear in his expression. You sit down on the bed and fumble with the hem of your shirt.
“I just didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. They were just stupid comments, okay? There was just no reason to make a big fuss about it. I knew it would worry you and I didn’t want to add more stuff on your plate. You have so many important things to do and my thing seemed silly. I also didn’t want to seem weak by letting a couple of comments get to me. I’m already viewed as weak within these walls.”
Demetri stands in front of you, he takes one of your hands in his while he uses his other to pull your chin up. Your eyes meet his.
“I want to know when something is bothering you. It doesn’t matter if it’s trivial or not. I need to know if I want to protect you, my love,” he sweetly responds.
“I know, I’m sorry,” you whisper.
He sends you a dazzling smile before your lips meet his in the sweetest kiss.
Summary: The plan was supposed to be simple, but instead you find yourself hiking in the woods with four Volturi guards. It appears that you’re the perfect entertainment for two of them. Eventually, you get fed up with their jokes, but Felix is there to comfort you.
This wasn’t the plan. The original plan was nice and easy. Felix was supposed to come to your house so you could go to the airport and hop on a plane to Volterra together. Instead you found Jane, Alec and Demetri at your door when you were about to leave for the airport. They’re the reason why you’re currently hiking in the woods.
For someone as clumsy as you, this isn’t the smartest idea. Logically, the hiking path isn’t paved. Instead, it’s earth with scattered loose rocks. Not the most steady ground, it has already caused you to trip a couple of times and you’re only ten minutes into the hike.
The twins, walking in the front, have the time of their life laughing at you every time you stumble. Demetri walks in front of you and Felix is walking behind you. Let’s just say you have tested their reflexes in a new way. You still don’t understand why Felix thought it would be a good idea to take you along with them.
After you stumble once more and Felix steadies you, you grumble: “I’m so sick of this. Why’d you make me tag along?”
Felix intertwines his fingers with yours while you continue walking in front of him. “Because, my love, this way we can immediately leave for the airport when we have the vampire.”
You sigh. “I didn’t sign up to be the twins’ laughing stock. You know how clumsy I am. It was clear this would be a disaster, even before we started.”
“Don’t mind them. They’re always like that, laughing at everything and everyone.”
“That’s easier said than done when you’re not the person they’re laughing at.” You stumble over another loose rock and the twins’ cackling reaches your ears loud and clear. “I’m so done with this.”
Felix makes you turn around so you’re looking at him. His hands rest on the side of your head while he intensely stares in your eyes. “We’re almost there. Their teasing will stop once we have the vampire in our custody. I adore your clumsiness, it’s adorable.”
You scoff. “It’s not adorable if I fall to my death in a ravine.”
“Good thing I’m here to catch you,” he says while winking.
ok but. felix and demetri during the emergence of the punk rock scene… going to dingy ass bars and rock shows to find their dinner… spiking their hair and wearing leather jackets… and eyeliner… i’m..
So, I get that in Twilight, vampires aren’t supposed to have tattoos - ‘cause bs“reasons” - but, let’s take a minute to imagine that underneath the Volturi get-up, Felix is covered in tattoos; like some from when he was a gladiator and most from random notions ((cause same))
The Volturi Princess - A Felix Volturi x fem!Reader Story (part 11)

I sat in my room, again, doing nothing in particular. Lately, nothing would excite or even interest me enough to occupy my mind for more than a few minutes. I didn’t know if I was going through a phase, or if that was my actual everyday life before the incident.
I didn’t think I could actually remember anything distinct before the incident as if crucial parts of my memory were wiped off. My life couldn’t be that boring, that meaningless. I hadn’t found a mate; I hadn’t changed a job for over 2000 years; I hadn’t done anything remotely fun. I wondered what my life came to, or how I even got here in the first place.
As much and as hard as I tried to remember, I couldn’t remember a single thing. For some unknown reason, I could only remember that Aro found me, brought me here, and turned me, just how he did with the Twins. Yet, I had a deep pain inside me that I couldn’t comprehend; it was like a pain caused by loss, a loss I had never experienced.
The only thing I could do was walk around the castle aimlessly, looking at the faces of the other vampires around that seemed to have successfully returned back to their usual routines, not having questioned anything for some time now. After Aro’s visit to the Egyptians, he laid the issue to rest, not looking for any answer afterward.
And so, our usual, boring life continued as such. Sometimes we would have to leave Volterra for our routine check-ups on other vampires and covens or to take care of some vampires’ disobedience and destruction tendencies. Other than that, there was nothing I was interested enough in.
The Twins and Dem would frequently occupy either the Common Room or the library. The Twins enjoyed challenging each other on chess, or they would call the other guards when they wanted to play other board games they had brought over from abroad, such as ‘Clue’, ‘Guess Who’, and ‘Monopoly’.
This particular day, just like every other day, I sat on a couch at the library, doing nothing in particular, as Demetri was looking through his history books a few meters away from me, and the Twins were arguing with each other at the other end of the room. I didn’t pay too much attention to them, but I, unintentionally, did catch a few words here and there.
They were talking about Freud’s “Death Drive” Theory, and how he theorized that people would tend to repeat traumatic events, even if they caused them distress. Unconsciously, that put me deep in thought for a few minutes, as I, myself, would put myself in a painful situation when I was trying to remember what happened to me, as a way to comfort myself that I really tried to find an answer to my questions.
Demetri was still too deep into his studies, so he didn’t pay attention to anyone and anything but his books. That left me alone, wandering around the library corridors, trying to find something that would interest me enough to pick up and read. I didn’t have a particular interest. Well, I did like anything related to fighting, so I supposed that wars and history could be the closest to my interests.
There were several books about wars and history that reached all the way up to the tallest shelf. The Kings - more like Aro and Caius - loved everything related to history, but most of all, anything related to wars. Though we were consuming human blood, there was nothing that pleased Aro and Caius more than seeing humans die, especially if it was by another human’s hand. They claimed that humans thought they could actually conquer the whole world, and, as long as they did, vampires would always manage to rise above them.
As I was browsing through the titles, my eye caught a deep purple book on the lowest shelf. I bent down to grab it, but I could almost swear that the book was pulled back - if I wasn’t alone here, I would think that it was Afton or someone else, but I couldn’t smell anyone. Once again, slowly and steadily, I went to grab it from its shelf; this time, the book did not move.
I started browsing through the pages, but the more I did, the less I understood. The book was written in a language I did not understand - was it French? German? No, there were no Latin characters indicating to any of these languages. I quickly ran to where Dem was, for he must know, having studied many languages throughout the years.
“Demetri? I need your help.” I tossed the book on the table, by Demetri’s readings.
“What?” Dem grumbled as I interrupted his study.
“I need your help with this book. I found it just a few minutes ago, but I cannot understand its content. It’s written in a language I cannot understand.”
This perked up Dem’s interest, who grabbed the book, scrolling through it, and smiling smugly. I knew he knew what it was about the moment he smiled.
“It’s Greek, but it’s not something I can actually comprehend. Must be one of the Kings’ books. They are the only ones who keep books in Greek anymore. Even I, myself, do not recall having any books in Greek left.” He tossed the book back at me, having quickly lost his interest, and returning back to his studies.
“You don’t see anything wrong with it?”
“What do you mean wrong, Felix? What could possibly go wrong with a book? Is it one of the “forbidden books” or something?” Dem mocked.
“No, but what if… What if it’s a magic book?”
“Fe, don’t be ridiculous. There’s no such thing as a “magic book”.”
“Why not, Dem? If we exist, why cannot magic and magic books exist?”
Demetri looked taken aback and had to think for a while. “Well, I suppose, if you put it that way, there could be magic. But, do not take my word for it. We don’t know what that book is about, whether it is magical or not. It’s not something you have to occupy your mind with, anyway. I know you’re bored and you have nothing better to do, but don’t stray too far from the others. We need you here. Present. If you think about imaginary things or things that didn’t happen, you will lose yourself in the process. So, please, don’t give in to such things. Stay focused here.”
Dem was right. I was trying too much, and so hard to hold onto little things - anything that would bring my memories back, that I started to lose track of what is real and what is not. I was the only one who was still so obsessed with finding answers where there were no questions left, that I lost the meaning behind everything. Instead of spending my time training the lower guards or interacting with Demetri or the Twins or Heidi or Santiago, I spent my time self-loathing about something that may not even exist.
And though the book had sparked my interest and curiosity about the possibility of a magical world existing, I still could not find a starting point to start my research from, so I just gave up eventually. It took me a few days, but I was finally able to fully recover from my previous state. I had so many human feelings that I almost forgot I wasn’t human.
I was a vampire, the Volturi executioner, and I should act more like that, instead of feeling. I wasn’t here to feel; I was here to follow orders, and tear others apart whenever I was asked to. From that moment, I had finally decided that I would turn my life around, and be myself again - the executioner that everyone feared.
After New York, Louvel and I traveled to Toronto. Then, we had to pass through Canada, and, it was only when we reached Vancouver, that there was the issue of how we would travel up to Alaska. There was also the issue of me feeding without Louvel finding out about me.
I struggled to be as discreet as I could, hiding my eating habits, though I still ate small portions of human food. In the end, I was forced to reveal my true identity to him. I thought a lot about it, about the consequences and what that would mean for our friendship in the long run, but I decided that letting him know would be the right thing to do. Surprisingly, he was not as shocked by my revelation as I thought he would be.
For some inexplicable reason, it was the exact opposite. He seemed to accept it too quickly. He wasn’t shocked or skeptical; he didn’t need some time to think about everything; he accepted reality too easily. That put me in deep thought about whether I should trust him or not, and made me question what his true intentions were. I decided I would have to trust him for as long as I needed him; after all, even if I was pregnant, I could still get rid of him pretty quickly, and I would if he proved to be disloyal.
On a positive note, letting him know what I truly was helped me to finally not be so discreet about my need for blood. Louvel would even help me for as long as we were in Vancouver, bringing unsuspecting humans over for me to drink from. He had a sort of talent for manipulation, and they seemed to trust him quite easily and quickly, which was why they would follow him without asking questions.
He was rather attractive for a human, with his fluffy, but carefully styled hair, and his charming-looking eyes, which helped him a lot when he brought humans to me - among other things he did in his life. He was a natural charmer, and he would surely have me mesmerized if I wasn’t pregnant with the love of my life’s baby. Even Louvel’s charm could not take Felix’s thought away from me.
Speaking of my pregnancy, though I still had 3 or 4 months ahead of me before giving birth, I could feel the baby getting anxious, as, lately, it moved more than usual. It was as if it could sense that we were getting closer and closer to freedom, and it couldn’t wait. I personally couldn’t wait. All this time spent traveling had absolutely exhausted me, and I only wished to sit down and relax, so I just couldn’t wait for the moment I went to Denali.
There was only one issue left, which seemed to be the one that set us back a few days. We had to find a way to reach Alaska, without having to ask the Cullens for help. I wanted it to be sort of a surprise, but also I wanted them to slowly realize the reality of my pregnancy, without being forced to understand the process and nature behind it. I wanted everything to be absorbed by them slowly, without forcing them to understand anything they couldn’t. I would already owe them if they accepted me, so I didn’t want to force them to come down here and pick Louvel and me up.
We were making plans for a week straight, asking people around, and looking out for any information that could probably indicate a way for us to leave from Vancouver. It took us a week, but we finally managed to find a way, through the Alaska-Canada highway, which was actually built a little less than 20 years ago. The issue was that the highway started from Dawson Creek, which was over 1,200 kilometers away, and ended at Delta Junction, which meant we still had a long way to go between Vancouver and Denali.
The easiest part for me - which Louvel was andwasn’t opposed to, at the same time - was to steal a car for us to drive up to Alaska. Stealing was easy; the difficult part was to find a car that could stand the long way up to Alaska. I settled on a cute, black Volkswagen Beetle, which seemed pretty reliable for the time being.
We maxed up the tank and took a few bottles full of petrol with us, just in case we ran out and there was no petrol station around. I had filled up with blood the day before our departure, so, really early in the morning, we loaded the car and left.
I decided I would be the one to drive the majority of the way because I didn’t trust Louvel driving us up there - I may not have been so different from him, but I was still more capable as a pregnant tribrid than he was as a human. Louvel himself didn’t try to oppose me after I hissed at him out of instinct. The route was supposed to take as long as three days, but with my need to hunt and still sleep, it took us over a week.
Finally, after 4,000 kilometers of driving, we were close to the Denalis’ residence. It was a completely different scenery from what I had seen so far. Though it was around the middle of autumn, everything around was covered in thick layers of snow that gave out an eerie atmosphere. Yet, the air was crisp and clean, and I could finally breathe, letting go of all my anxiety. I felt that I could finally relax; that I was finally away and safe from Volturis’ influence.
I felt excited at the prospect of a new chance in life; a life that was not associated with the Volturi; a life that had me leaving my human self behind. If everything went well and the Denalis agreed, I planned to stay with them permanently. The Cullens were only living there temporarily - I knew that because Carlisle himself never settled on one place for too long, so it was a matter of time until they left again.
But the Denalis were permanent residents of the area, so the probability of them leaving was none. I could easily come to terms with staying in that place forever. Besides, I had spent almost 3,000 years living in one place, so I didn’t think it would be impossible staying here for just as long, even more. The seclusion of this place meant that it wasn’t easy for others - humans or vampires - to notice or get close.
The Denalis’ house was deep between the snow-covered mountains, beyond the vast plains covered with trees. A lodge-like building that looked as warm as luxurious, its aesthetic matching perfectly with the surrounding environment. It was so different from what I imagined. I thought, like the Volturi, they would prefer a house made out of stone; a house that looked more like a cave. But the Denalis’ house was nowhere near that. The warm wood the house was made of, gave a sense of luxury, familiarity, and a welcoming feeling.
I saw the house from afar, but as we got closer and closer, I would drive more and more slowly, unsure of what they would think if they saw me all of a sudden. I, myself, was unsure and would have never imagined what they would feel like if they saw me. I continued driving slowly, as they finally noticed me and came out of the house. I stopped about 40 meters away, to give them space and distance between us.
First, it was Tanya and Kate who came out, followed by Irina, Eleazar, Carmen, Carlisle, and Edward. They looked shocked when they saw and realized who it was, but took a few steps forward, waiting for me to get out of the car.
“Is that them?” Louvel asked me from the passenger’s seat, without taking his eyes off of the vampires in front of us.
“Yeah, that’s them. Stay in the car, please.” I opened and shut the door quickly, walking towards the Denalis.
“(Y/N)?” Carmen and Eleazar were looking at me, shocked to see me in front of them, after all these years.
“(Y/N)? Is that you?” Carlisle looked just as shocked at me being there. His mind was mostly blank if I could ignore the many questions he had at that moment.
“Yeah, Carlisle. Hi.” I smiled at them. Though I had many powers - vampire and witch ones, I still felt powerless in front of everyone. I could not see what they would do or how they would react, as they seemed emotionless.
Suddenly, a petite girl came running out of the house. “Hi, (Y/N). I’m Alice. I was waiting for you. Is everything alright with..you know?” She looked at my belly once, and I could immediately tell she was the only one who knew without me having to tell anyone.
“Uhm, yeah, hi. I… I haven’t met you before, have I? Sorry if I had. My brain has been a bit fuzzy right now.”
“Oh, I totally get it. Come on in. Tell your friend to come, too.” Alice grabbed my hand and led me into the house, as I turned around and nodded at Louvel to follow us.
Alice brought me in, and I was right to think that the house was just as warm and welcoming as it seemed. It had huge windows, some of which started from the ground and went all the way up to the top. Other walls were completely covered with a mix of wood and stone. The lit fireplace was radiating its warmth through the house, and I felt my insides slowly adapt and absorb the warmth around me.
“What brings you here, (Y/N)? You are too far from home.” Tanya looked worried but also saddened. She didn’t seem to have anything against me per se, but she wouldn’t stop recalling the last time she saw me - the day the Volturi destroyed Sasha.
I decided to be open and honest to them from the beginning if I wanted them to accept me. “I decided to leave. I wanted to leave. It was for the best for both of us.” I placed my hand on my belly, rubbing it, to comfort both the baby and myself.
Tanya’s eyes popped wider. “So, it’s true. You are pregnant.” I now knew that Alice had informed everyone else about my situation.
“Yeah. And I had to get away to save the baby. And myself. I wouldn’t bear it if the baby had to go through what I went through with Aro. I couldn’t think of anyone else to go to than you, Carlisle. I am so sorry that I didn’t warn you beforehand.” I looked at the kind doctor with guilt.
“It’s okay, (Y/N), really, don’t worry about it.” He took a few steps towards me and kneeled in front of me. “Can I?” He moved his hand and stopped a few centimeters away from my belly. I nodded at him, and he put his hand on my belly, feeling the baby.
He stayed like that for a few minutes, trying to understand, possibly figure out my pregnancy with his own medical knowledge. Everyone was standing around us, looking at Carlisle’s hand and my belly, as if they were waiting on a verdict. Carlisle smiled and looked back at me, with his hand still on my belly.
“Can you feel the heartbeat?” He asked me quietly, to which I nodded. “It’s strong and rapid. I don’t want to come to rapid conclusions, but I don’t think it’s just one baby.”
I looked at him dumbfounded. “What do you mean it isn’t ‘just one baby’?”
“I think you’re having twins. Explains why your belly is that prominent, and why the heartbeat is so quick. I think there are two different babies inside of you.”
“How… How could I not feel them, then? You know, I should have known, I should have felt them. Shouldn’t I? How couldn’t I feel that there were two babies?” I was slowly panicking at my incompetence to realize there could have been two babies inside me instead of one.
“I don’t really know the answer to that, (Y/N). Maybe..maybe because they are part of you. Maybe because you were changing and getting more vulnerable by the pregnancy? How have you been feeling during the pregnancy?”
“Well, I was getting more and more tired by the day. I needed to sleep way more than I usually did. I craved blood way more than I usually did.”
Everyone gasped quietly, looking at the only human around, with shock, worried that I revealed our secret to him. However, Louvel, standing close to Carlisle, but not as close as the others, seemed unmoved by everything that was happening in front of him.
“It’s okay, Louvel knows everything. He was the one who helped me the last few weeks with my hunger and need for blood, actually.” I smiled awkwardly, as the others kept staring at him, still not trusting him.
“You know, your family doesn’t like it when humans know about us, so how are you going to explain it to them that you, yourself, let a human know?” Kate frowned her eyebrows, questioning my actions.
“I simply won’t tell them about any of that. Louvel is open to get changed anyway.” I pointed my hand at my friend. “Besides, my “family”, as you call them, won’t even remember me. I made sure of that.”
“What do you mean? What did you do, (Y/N)?”
“Relax, Tanya. I didn’t kill them, or anything, even if that’s what most of you would hope for. I just made them forget about me.”
“You can do that?” Kate’s eyes popped, and I was worried they’d fall odd of her.
“I’m still a witch, Kate, and I’ve been training hard, ever since I got to meet my parents. However, now, they don’t remember me, and neither do the Volturi. None of them knows I ever existed, and though I wasn’t totally happy with it, it was necessary for me to make them forget. I’ll move on with my life, and live with that from now on. I feel safe the farther away I am from Volterra, and the farther away I am from Aro and the others. I was just hoping I could stay here with you, away from everyone who may have ever known me. But that is only if you want me here, of course.”
“(Y/N), we may have had our differences with the Volturi, but that doesn’t mean we have anything against you per se. You were just a pawn, part of the coven. Of course you can stay here. But, we need to know about your current diet. We can see your red eyes, sweety.”
“I know, Tanya, and thank you for accepting me into your family and coven. I only need to feed with human blood for as long as I’m pregnant. That’s what my mom did she was pregnant with me, and that’s what Sulpicia did when she was pregnant with my mom. After I give birth, I will go back to animal blood.”
“So, such a pregnancy is not uncommon within your family?” Carlisle asked me.
“No, it’s not. Aro got Sulpicia pregnant while she was human, so my mom came out as half-human and half-vampire. When my mom got pregnant, she turned my father, so he could help and take care of her during her pregnancy. As long as someone is human - it doesn’t matter if they are partially or wholly, they can carry a vampire baby. Both Aro and my father eventually had to turn Sulpicia and my mother, because giving birth to vampire babies - even if they are half-vampire, or a quarter vampire, can actually kill someone. The babies are too strong for a human’s body to handle. That’s also part of the reason why I came here. Carlisle, when I finally give birth, I’ll need you to turn me, no matter what happens.”
“I will try, (Y/N), if that’s what it takes for you to stay alive.” He smiled sadly.
“Thank you.”
I could suddenly sense four more figures coming closer and closer to the house - two men and two women. I didn’t recognize their scents, but I could sense their connection to the vampires in front of me. Within a few seconds, two blondes and two brunettes entered the house. The blonde woman was gorgeous, and she was holding hands with the brunette man. I knew who they were, even though I never met them personally. Just like I knew Edward and Alice.
“Carlisle? Who’s this?” Rosalie asked, still clinging to Emmett’s side, unsure of what was going in front of her.
“That’s (Y/N). The one I told you about.” I was honored that Carlisle talked to his family about me.
“That’s (Y/N)?! What is she doing so far away?” Rosalie was a mix of worried and angry, but I couldn’t distinguish one over the other.
“(Y/N) will be staying with us from now on. (Y/N), we’ll take care of you and your babies, don’t worry about it.” Tanya smiled and caressed my cheek.
“So, you are pregnant?” Rosalie smiled, letting go of Emmett’s arm, and walking to sit by my side.
“Yeah. I’m surprised you all somehow know, but I’m guessing Alice told you?” I smirked playfully at the small brunette girl, who smiled back widely.
“She told us you were pregnant, and that we should expect you, but she didn’t know when exactly. Her visions kept changing.” Esme replied from Carlisle’s side, as they wrapped their arms around each other.
“She didn’t tell us you were bringing a human, though.” Jasper looked like he was constipated, but he was actually trying to restrict himself from attacking Louvel. He’s been a vegetarian for just a few years, so having humans around was extremely difficult for him.
“Don’t worry, man. I don’t plan to stay human for too long. I’ve talked with (Y/N), and I plan to get changed.” Louvel answered back, as Jasper kept staring at him.
“Are you sure you want that life for yourself? As much as I thank Carlisle for saving me, I wouldn’t want that life. Damned for all eternity.” Edward was brooding again, looking sad and regretful.
“I know I want this. Why wouldn’t you? It’s the start of a new life, full of so many possibilities. I think it’s a chance to become a better version of myself and try to evolve.”
“Whatever you say, dude.” Emmett patted Louvel on the back and almost knocked him off, making me laugh.
After the initial conversation, it was a matter of where I would stay, where Louvel would stay, and what we would eat. Irina and Kate were willing to run to the Anchorage, which was a couple of hundred kilometers away, to make sure Louvel - but mostly me - had enough food to last us for a couple of weeks, until the next time they’d have to go.
Rosalie was set to take care of me during my pregnancy; she always wanted to have children of her own, and she saw a great opportunity in, at least, helping me with my own. I could tell she would have been a great mother; her movements and touch were so delicate, trying to make sure I was fed, I slept at least 10 hours a day, and I was taken proper care of.
In the meantime, Louvel was slowly adjusting to living around vampires, some of which would try their best to not attack him. He was careful with his existing and moving around the house, trying to avoid most of them. As he was the only one - apart from me - to not handle the cold weather well, he would spend most of his time inside the house, trying to be as much of a help as he could.
As for me and my pregnancy, everything was going quite smoothly. Apart from the constant blood cravings and the endless sleep hours, I got enough free time to practice my magic. Some days, energy would pump my whole body and I felt like I could move mountains; other days, I would feel so drained of life that all I wanted to do was lay down, close my eyes, and wait for the time to just pass.
But I would still derive energy from the ones I loved the most - my babies and the thought of Felix. Thanks to both the Denalis and the Cullens keeping me safe and calm, I managed to improve my magic to the point where I could easily travel through space, even with the babies in my belly. And though I had a curiosity to test my ability to travel through space, I wouldn’t take that risk as long as I was pregnant, but I would definitely want to test the waters after I gave birth.
It had been about two months now since the day I arrived at Denali, and all I could think about was the fact that my supposed due date was coming closer and closer, but I still couldn’t tell exactly when. My belly grew absurdly fast within a month and a half, almost two or three times the size it was when I came to Alaska, and I couldn’t explain why. Carlisle was even more clueless than I was on the matter, but he reassured me that, as long as the babies seemed to grow normally and sound healthy, everything would be okay, so I took his word for it.
It was just another day, walking around the Denali territory, being too bored to stay in the house, and feeling too much energy pumping through me to just walk around the house. I’d rather run a bit through the mountains, enjoying the crisp air, and the vastness of the snow-covered trees down at the plains, as the winter was slowly coming to an end, but not in Alaska. Here, it was still snowing pretty heavily, and though I could feel the cold in my bones, it also managed to comfort me, reminding me of Felix’s cold touch that somehow was filling my existence with warmth and endless love for him.
Everything happened too fast for me to realize what was actually going on. One moment I would be standing on a small snowy hill, looking over the cold nature around me, and the next I would be in complete pain, feeling every part inside me numb as the pain was concentrating on my abdomen and back. I could only feel my body fall, and I remembered looking towards the sky as I fell. I let out a scream of pain, trying to catch my breath and realize what was going on.
That was until I felt the wetness coming out of me, and I could smell the blood in the air. That was when I finally realized that I was going into labor. I was about to give birth, and I was up here, all alone, writhing in pain, and full of hopelessness. I didn’t know that this was how I would give birth; I didn’t know this would be how I would probably die.
In-between my screams and the streams of tears that stained both my face and the snow around me, my only wish was that I would be able to see Felix once again; that I could fall into his arms and never let go. And as my vision narrowed around me and I started seeing black, I could only hope that my babies knew how much I loved them, and how much I would fight for them if I made it out of here alive.
A/N: not me finally finding some time to write. I still have a bit of requests to put out, I haven’t forgotten you I promise! I hope you enjoy this series I don’t really know where it’s going yet.
Summary: y/n thought she escaped being part of victorias army, but after she runs into the volturi things take a bit of a turn
➽───────────────❥
Y/n’s POV
The forest had a sort of swirling fog today. A normal person could barely make it through here without tripping over something. There was something almost sinister about the mist. But you welcomed it, the morning dew clung to your skin, it felt refreshing. Your fingers dug into the cool dirt, you had always enjoyed the outside. It made sense that was where your life had suddenly ended. And why the woods had called you back. It was home.
Your eyes snapped open at the soft crunch of leaves and branches, the first warning sound of someone approaching. Or several someone’s it seemed. You stayed sitting on the ground, you welcomed any visitors. You doubted they would do anything to you. But it was as if the trees were whispering for you to beware. You crossed your legs and brought your hands in front of you. You were determined to not show any sign of weakness. The four cloaked figures were in front of you in a second.
“It appears we have a straggler.” The tiny blond one said first
“Can I help you?” You smiled at them
“Don’t mess with us, girl.” The blond one hissed, “we know you were in Seattle.”
“Oh. That.” You weren’t proud of these past weeks. You knew you had gone on a hiking trip with some friends, all of you foolishly ignoring the so called “bear” attacks that had been plaguing the area. You could be considered lucky, seeing as you were the only one to make it out of your group. But this life you had been given was anything but simple. You had woken up with your throat feeling like it was on fire. Apparently, Riley had “saved” you but you knew you waking up had been a thing of chance. Then him and that curly haired woman tried to see if your abilities would be useful. You didn’t realize the extent of them until you tried to run. The idea of facing another group of people like you was not something you wanted to do. And no matter how much Riley had tried to make you think you owed him, you would have rather risked it on your own. You didn’t like all the carnage that group constantly left behind, and you followed. Thinking it was the only way. It wasn’t until you left that you realized you didn’t have to make such a scene, you didn’t have to ruin that many lives. It was definitely easier on your own. But your choices seemed to be catching up to you.
“Well?” The blond one interrupted your train of thought.
What exactly was she expecting you to say? “I was there, and then I left.”
“And why did you decide to do that?” The one who looked strikingly similar to the blond one spoke, siblings surely.
“I just didn’t want to fight anybody.” You shrugged.
“Regardless your whole coven has caused a great deal of damage to the city. Almost exposing our secret.”
“I didn’t even know there was a secret. And I certainly don’t know you. So you’ll have to catch me up to speed.”
The blonde one scowled at you and felt as if your body was torn apart from the inside. Your hands now grasped the dirt beneath you. You made sure to not let out a sound no matter how much pain you were feeling. You wish you could control the ability you’d been given but at the moment all you could do was grit your teeth together.
“Jane.” A deep voice warned. Then as quickly as it has come the fire wracking up inside your body diminished. While you didn’t need to you took deep breaths to try and settle yourself back down.
➽───────────────❥
Felix’s POV
It was honestly quite admirable that she didn’t scream. You knew Jane didn’t like to be interfered but you had been frozen in place until you saw her writhing in agony, and still. It was impressive. She refused to let Jane win. You were well aware of the repercussions her gift entailed. What you weren’t sure of is why you felt the sudden urge to protect this person.Jane had stopped long enough to turn to you. She wouldn’t let others see the volturi fight within themselves but we’ve had a long day and there’s a first for everything.
Before she could even ask you how you dared to interrupt her, the silence surrounded you. If you’d been around long enough you knew it was almost impossible for it ever to be completely silent. Unless Alec used his gift, of course. But out here? In the forest, in any forest it was never this quiet. And the quiet was eery. Still. It caught you all off guard, the rustling in the tress was gone.
The animals were nowhere to be heard and it was as if the four of you recognized it all at once. Then the trees seemed to wind almost as if the branches had begun reaching for your group. The trees bending in a way that seemed as they were ready to entrap you, the fog that clung to the forest floor did not help.
“Sister?” Alec’s voice was wavering, something was wrong. He never had to deal with silence. You all turned to look at the newborn who had been curled over in pain just a moment ago glaring, it wasn’t like Jane to be unsettled. She took a step back as vines seemed to wrap around the newborns arms. Could she be the cause of all of this?
You found out soon enough. Flowers began growing through the tree branches, they would be beautiful if the trees didn’t look as if they wanted to kill you. Suddenly something shot out in front of Janes face, a pink bud.began growing at an impossible pace. You all seemed entranced by the nature surrounding you until the bud exploded in Janes face.
“What are you playing at?” She growled she began walking forward, before she reached toward Alec staggering.
“Sister?”
Jane shook her head, blinking hard, before suddenly collapsing. Alec began panicking.
“Jane??? Jane!!!” He began shaking her trying to get his twin to open her eyes. You and Demetri looked back at the other vampire, her eyes no longer seemingly glowing. Her glare didn’t leave her. Alec was now furious with revenge.
“What. Did. You. Do. To. HER?”
He had laid Jane down but his arms were outstretched. A cloud unlike anything you had ever seen beginning to seep out. The other vampire faltered. She may not have known who we were but she knew that Jane wasn’t the only gifted one. Her instincts took over and she began to run.
“Find her. Find her right now. I’m going to rip her apart.” Alec was tantruming. Jane was usually the one to throw a fit but Alec was not going to let this stand.
“Alec, please.” Demetri tried, “Take Jane back to Aro and explain what happened.”
“No. I want to—“
“If you kill her we may not be able to get Jane back.”
Alec snarled at the thought of that. “Fine. Find her.” With that he picked up Jane and ran off.
“Well, that could have been worse.” Demetri said after Alec was out of hearing distance. You raised your eyebrow at him, “Imagine what the leaders would have done if something happened to both of the twins.”
“True. Do you think we will be able to find the one who did this?”
Demetri grinned, “Don’t insult me. Now, do you want to tell me why you’ve taken an interest in this one?”
There were often time you were glad you were a vampire, this was one of those times. You were sure you’d be bright red otherwise. “I don’t know what you mean.”
“Sure Fe.” Demetri was nothing if not cocky when he was right, “better get to it then.”
With that he was off. You hated when he did that. You groaned as you tried to catch up with him. The vampire in question did not make it easy. We had been chasing her for a day and Alec was not happy we kept losing her.
It was the end of the next day before she finally stopped.
“Alright how long do we keep doing this?” She called down to you both from a tree, she seemed so comfortable. It’s almost as if she belonged out here.
“As long as we need to Cara.”
“How do you keep finding me?”
“Let’s say our coven has a wide array of abilities. Isn’t that right Felix?”
“Yes. It would save us some time if you would just come with us.” She tilted her at your response, probably realizing this was the first time she’d heard you speak. You doubted she had a good impression of you but she gathered her composure quickly enough
“Mmm no thanks. If I had wanted to I could have filled this whole area with those flowers that uhm knocked out your friend.” She smiled at your silence, “then I would have all the time in the world to run.”
“So why let us keep chasing you then?” You asked her
“It was kind of fun but now I’m bored. So. I’m assuming you need me to fix blondie?”
“Mia cara, I strongly suggest you don’t let her hear you call her that unless you want to feel her gift again.” Demetri was enjoying some actual banter. Most anyone who dealt with us either immediately began pleading or trying to run, she had already done the latter.
“Yeah I remember. Though, that is what got her in that situation in the first place no?”
“I suppose so, but we would rather not have to bring anyone else into this.”
“I would.” She smiled at the obvious shock in our faces, “you all seem to think youre invincible but if I wanted to I could have put you in the same state your friend is in.”
You looked around at flower buds surrounding the area. She had easily entrapped both of you and it was clear she was about to win.
“What is it you do want then?” You asked
“Oh I’m not dumb I can keep a lot of you away but I know I’ll be caught eventually, I want assurance I won’t be killed as soon as I fix the mean one.”
“Oh I can assure you mia cara, Aro is not going to want to hurt you after seeing your abilities.” Demetri was confident as usual, and it was likely he was right. Aro would hate to pass this opportunity up but we all knew the twins came first.
She stared you both down for a second before shrugging and jumping down, “alright. Where are we off to.”
“I’ll have Heidi set up a flight.”
“Flight? We can’t just run there?”
“We could but I personally don’t like ruining a perfectly good outfit. And I don’t trust you’d like to swim the Atlantic on your own?”
She simply shrugged again and waved her hand, “well. Lead the way.”
“Perfect. Now is there something you would like us to call you or do you prefer my pet names?” Demetri winked at her, you fought the growl trying to escape your throat.
“Just y/n.”
“Well ‘just y/n’ I’m Demetri and that’s—“
“Felix. I remember.” She smiled at you at you and began following Demetri, you weren’t quite sure why it felt as if your were tongue tied for the first time in centuries. Perhaps this mission has been going on longer than you had previously thought.
The flight to Volterra was filled with questions from y/n. Victoria and Riley had kept her completely in the dark about who you were and the rules you upheld. We had known about Victorias plan with the newborns. Jane making the call to wait. Y/n gave us more than what Victoria had claimed. She had kept any potential gifted ones away from the main group, most of them trying to escape on their own accord. Not many of them making it. Y/n was more curious about how the Volturi came to be, Demetri said the one most knowledgeable in that was Aro. This was also true, Aro had the best way of retelling how the coven came to be. He was the most…theatrical.
“You don’t talk much do you, Felix?”
To be honest you hadn’t noticed you’d been quiet. You had been too busy paying attention to y/n and her questions and background, well you hadn’t felt the need to speak.
“I’m sorry y/n. I must be distracted.”
“Hm.” She turned back towards Demetri and you found yourself feeling, upset? Jealous? That wasn’t something you were used to. “So, you two know all about me. What about you two?”
“I do believe we told you about our jobs cara.”
“No, not the coven stuff. Demetri and Felix stuff. When were you turned, what was your life like?”
This caught both of you off guard. It wasn’t often you talked about your past. You certainly didn’t like to. The only ones who knew about it were the leaders and Demetri. Most everyone else just knew Aro had found you. So why did you feel like opening up to this person you’d never met before.
“Sorry. You guys don’t have to tell me, I was just curious.”
Demetri chuckled but went on to tell his tale, or what he remembered. He didn’t have any negative connotations with his last life. You on the other hand, it wasn’t pretty. And it was something you wished you’d forget. Not that you could, your transformation made sure of that.
➽───────────────❥
Y/n’s POV
You felt bad something really seemed to be weighing on Felix. When he didn’t say anything after Demetri told you about himself, you decided to change the subject. You asked about the castle they lived in instead, maybe you shouldn’t seem so excited but their lives were fascinating. The only problem was Felix. He seemed like something was bothering him and you felt as if you might be the reason. And if you were why did you even care so much?
Going through the castle seemed like a fantasy. As if it wasn’t real. You chuckled to yourself that in a building full of vampires their home was the least believable way thing.
You were quickly brought out of your daydream. Entering the throne you were almost immediately met with a hiss. Janes brother, Alec you’d learned was still at his wits end. While he had done so purposely before the black mist seemed to seep out of him on its own accord this time. The other vampires backing away told you everything you needed to know.
“Alec. Perhaps you should go into another room my dear child.”
“Whos going to make me?” He challenged, the middle leader sighed because unfortunately he had a point. You took a step back and bumped into Felix. He out a hand on your back to steady you, and you remembered why you had even agreed to come.
You took a deep breath, “I suggest you figure out how to get rid of that creepy dog or I’ll make sure your sister never gets up.”
He let out some kind of guttural noise from his throat before glaring at me and began focus on returning the black mist. You tried not to let your relief show. Felix and Demetri headed up to the leader in the center, when they gave him their hands it was clear that that was the one known as Aro. When they stood off to the side Felix seemed to subtly nod to you. You weren’t quite sure if you imagined that. Still, it was comforting.
“Well it seems we have quite a gifted newborn on our hands brothers.”
“If they managed to subdue Jane they must be.” The older blonde one spoke, you assumed that was Caius since the ‘sad’ one was supposed to be Marcus. “For your sake I hope you can fix her.”
You tried not to let your smile give you away. Aro motioned for you to come forward and you extended your hand as you greeted him. When he finally read your thought a sort high pitch cackle emerged from his throat.
“Oh I assure you my dear nothing will happen to you.” He patted your hand and let you head down towards the center. Alec was still fuming, even more so now that Aro had granted you immunity.
“So she is planning on fixing Jane then?” Caius asked
“Y/n Would you like to tell us how to ‘fix’ Jane?” He seemed to stifle another laugh
Even a human could hear a pin drop in the room full of vampires on edge for your answer,
“Oh she should be waking up any moment. She’s just sleeping.”
