The Seventeen Promises They Made (An Alec Volturi Love Story)

A Crime

The news of Secret's cancer spread throughout the Volturi like wild fire. However, the secret has never left the coven. Anyone else who knew was killed immediately, to prevent any further notice. Everyone in the guard was shocked to know that their fellow member could die any day. Secret has always been a role model to everyone at the castle. With her, everything was just so much more....fun, for the lack of a better word. The guards don't even remember what it was like without her, when the halls were filled with only dread and sorrow. Returning to that would be utter hell.

Santiago's head immediately turned towards the source of that sound. A woman with blond hair appeared in front of him. She had a black dress with black high heels. Her hair was in a neat bun and she had those cursed golden eyes. Animal drinker. Must be either one of the Cullens or the Denalis. He quickly grabbed her shoulder when she tried to move past him.

"Who are you? What is your business with the Volturi?" he hissed.

Irina quickly nodded. He led her down a series of dimly lit hallways, leading her as if he had every corner, every turn memorized, which he did. Finally, they approached the double doors which he easily swung open. From there, he walked back to his position in the corner of the room and let Felix and Demetri take care of the rest. Irina walked forward slightly, only to be followed by the two.

"What a pleasant surprise." said Aro, not even looking up from his book.

"What do you want?" hissed Caius, slamming his book close and setting it on the table.

"Hm?" he added.

Irina took a deep breathe and walked towards the masters.

"I have to report a crime. The Cullens...they have done something terrible."

At that, Aro slammed his book close and zoomed in front of her.

"Allow me, my dear." he said, grabbing her hand and blanking out.

There was a snow covered field with many trees. A forest. Specks of snow were falling down the gray sky. Bella and a wolf were standing and watching.....an immortal child? She looked like one. Her angelic features and unnatural beauty symbolized all but that. The girl jumped what seemed like ten feet with ease, catching a snowflake in her hand. It was an immortal child.

Aro released her hand.

"Oh my...."
