Unloved and Unwanted?

Chapter Two

The following morning Charlie opens a letter informing him that Y/N has been accepted into an Art college in Italy and that she is due there in a few days. Alice had put the letter together as a cover story for Y/N to leave Forks. "Morning, Y/N. This came yesterday after I left for work; it's an acceptance letter for an Art college in Italy. They need you there in a few days so you should get packing" Charlie said smiling as Y/N entered the kitchen "Oh ok, I'll-I'll do that" Y/N couldn't believe the Cullens had faked a letter to get her to Italy; clearly they wanted her gone and soon.

A few days later Edward dropped Y/N off at the airport "Here this is a letter for Aro; make sure to give it to him when you arrive at the castle. This letter is for you to read on the plane, it's basically tells you what we told you the other night. When you arrive a car will be waiting to take you Volterra. Safe flight" He gets back in the car and drives away leaving Y/N at the airport alone.

Y/N sits on the plane reading the letter addressed to her; and it's a repeat of the information she was told a few days ago. She thought about not going to Italy but figured the Cullens will know if she doesn't arrive or they'll call Aro to check that she arrived so it's probably just easier to go voluntarily rather than be chased down by the Volturi's tracker and incur the wrath of her mate.

The plane lands and Y/N makes her way through to the airport to the waiting car "Miss Y/S/N?" The man asks "Yes, you're taking me to Volterra?" Y/N replies "Yes miss. Get in the car please" The man says placing her case in the trunk. Y/N is dropped off just outside of the town square "The castle is just up there; you can't miss it as there's a huge fountain in the middle of the square" "Thank you" Y/N said taking her case from the driver.

Y/N made her way to the town square and sat down on the fountain trying to get the courage up to walk into a castle full of vampires; knowing that once she's inside she'll never be allowed to leave. Unknown to Y/N she is being watched by Heidi who has stepped outside of the castle to see if there are any tourists around that she can add to the 'castle tour' scheduled for tomorrow. With her enhanced sight Heidi notices that Y/N holding an envelope in her hands whilst looking at the castle and after about an hour Heidi makes her way over to Y/N "Are you ok?" She asks sitting beside her "I think so" Y/N replies sounding unsure. "I'm Heidi by the way, so what brings you to Volterra?" Y/N notices Heidi's eyes are a lilac colour and her skin is pale but looks perfect, just like the Cullens "I'm Y/N. I've been sent here to meet my mate, not that he's going to happy about it. In fact I've been told that...he won't want me" Y/N says looking down handing Heidi her letter "It's all explained in here"

Heidi takes the letter reading it and it explains that Y/N is mated to one of the elite guards and as soon as she reads 'he is the strongest vampire in the world' she knows who Y/N's mate is. Heidi frowns as she continues to read the letter as she doesn't like what she is reading. It is depicting Felix as cruel when he is actually kind despite him coming across as intimidating due to his physical appearance. She also knows that Felix would his love his mate whether she be human or vampire as he has been waiting a long time to meet her and would be hurt if he knew that his mate thought of him this way. "Who gave you this letter?" Heidi asks sounding a little upset "Edward Cullen handed me this letter at the airport for me to read to remind me about what awaits me upon landing here. I also have another letter for Aro" She tells Heidi "How come you showed me this letter?" Heidi asks "You are a vampire and I'm guessing you live in the castle" Y/N replies "How did you..." Y/N cuts Heidi off "You have pale skin like the Cullens and you came from the direction of the castle and you didn't seem surprised when I mentioned the word 'mate' nor when you were reading the letter" "Huh, very true. Would you like me to take you inside to meet Aro?" Heidi asks "I'm not sure if I'm ready to go in just yet" Y/N replies quietly "Ok I'll wait with you until you're ready" "Thank you Heidi." Y/N gives Heidi a small smile. After an hour of sitting on the fountain making small talk Heidi and Y/N make their way into the castle; Heidi taking Y/N's hand in hers "Do not let go of my hand Y/N" "Ok" Y/N nods.

Once inside the castle Heidi heads straight to the reception desk "Hi Gianna, this is Y/N. I need you to take this to Aro for me please" Heidi says handing her a quick note asking to meet with him, Caius and Marcus and minimal guards as she has a delicate matter to discuss. Heidi and Y/N wait in reception for Gianna to return "Heidi, Y/N, Aro is ready for you and the guards have been dismissed except for Jane and Demetri" Heidi was pleased Felix wouldn't be in the room during this conversation.

They arrive at throne room "Good afternoon masters" Heidi greets them with a smile "Heidi so good to see you and you have bought a human with you" Aro replies curious. "There is a very good reason for that. This is Y/N and she has a letter for you from the Cullens" Caius' attention is piqued when he hears the Cullen's name mentioned. "May I see the letter please my dear?" Aro asks "Of course" Y/N responds handing the letter over. Y/N and Heidi watch Aro's facial expressions as he reads the letter and he doesn't seem happy. "What's in the letter brother?" Caius asks impatiently; Aro extends his arm holding out the letter for him. "Y/N my dear, when did you learn about us?" Aro asks "A few days ago, I was invited to the Cullen's house and Edward, his siblings and Bella informed me about vampires, the Volturi and...mates" She answered "Do you know who your mate is?" Caius interjects "Not exactly. I only know that he is one of the elite guards...and is known for being the strongest vampire in the world. Also that he along with the rest of you don't like humans much...there-therefore he won't want me...as his mate. I've been told that I will be rejected and locked away" Y/N replies not looking at Caius "WHAT?!" Caius screams; Heidi and Y/N flinch at this, Heidi grips Y/N's hand in a comforting gesture. Y/N's comment also gains Marcus' attention whilst Jane and Demetri look on curiously.

Caius storms down the steps to stand beside Aro "If you know you are to be rejected why did you come here?" Aro asks gently "Edward told me if you found out that they knew I was the mate of one of your guards and they didn't tell you; you would kill them...and bring me here by force. He said they wouldn't risk their lives for me. They also said that if I were to run and hide...you-you would send the world's best tracker after me; who would find me and...bring me here...kicking and screaming if needed and...I would incur the wrath of my mate...who can be rather cruel. I-I figured it was just easier to come here willingly" She replied quietly looking down. Demetri felt himself get a little angry hearing that the Cullens had used him to threaten the human girl into coming to Volterra. "You mentioned being locked away, what do you mean by this?" Caius asked confusion clearly showing on his face "Edward told me that you do not usually allow newborns in the castle; however, you will make an exception for me...that I'd spend my newborn years in the dungeon and...provided my mate remembers I'm down there; he'll come and get me... lock me away in the tower where I'll spend eternity once I'm no longer a newborn"

A look of shock crossed the faces of the three kings as well as Jane's and Demetri's upon hearing this. "I want you know that I don't intend to object to the rejection" Y/N added. "Why would you accept the rejection child?" Marcus asks curiously joining his brothers at the bottom of the steps "Not being wanted is not a new thing for me. I'm not going to make someone be with me if they don't want to be. I have no intention of messing up his life just because I'm not wanted back home either" Y/N replied looking at Marcus, who gave her a small smile.

'Poor beautiful, broken girl.' Heidi thought to herself listening to this last part.
