Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Cullen's and Vampires
Once we got up to the Cullen's house I was ushered inside, still confused as to what was going on. "What's happening, what's that mark?" I asked as Luffy carried me. "I don't know Lil." He said. I snuggled close to him as we walked into the living room. "Edward, what's going on?" A pretty brown haired woman asked. "Esme, this girl has a brand of the Volturi." Edward explained. Luffy frowned. "Who are the Volturi?" He asked as a golden haired man came down and took me from Luffy. Edward looked at the man and then the woman before speaking. "They're a group of vampires that act as rulers above all the others." Edward said. Luffy thought for a minute. "So you're all vampires?" He asked. The woman nodded. "Yes, we are." She said. "But you don't drink human blood?" He asked. The woman seemed a little surprised but nodded. "How did you know." The blond man asked, setting me down. I walked over to Luffy and he took my hand. We focused a minute and our glamour faded and we appeared as we normally did. Everyone in the room jumped back a little bit. "What are you?" Edward asked. I turned to look back at him, my eyes glowing. "We're gods. We were sent to help you with the Volturi." I said. "Gods? What pantheon and what are your domains?" The blond vampire asked. "Greek and Roman." Luffy said. "I'm Luffy. The god of Emotional Strength, Loyalty, the Supernatural, and All That Sail The Sea. Minor God of Powers, Friendship, and Dreams." He said proudly. The blond vampire turned to me. "I'm Victoria. The goddess of the Abused, the Enslaved, Bad Childhoods, Personal Loyalty, and the Supernatural. Minor Goddess of Magic, Growth, Healing, and Fire." Bella was shocked. "That's incredible." She said. I smiled and blushed. "Thanks." I mumbled. "That must be why the Volturi targeted you. They don't have anything like you in the guard." Esme said. Luffy frowned. "Then why not target both of you? Why just Lily-I mean Victoria?" Bella said. I smiled back at her. "You can keep calling me Lily if you want to." I said. "And to answer your question, it's probably because I'm the easiest to get too. There's a reason I have the domains that I do. As a demigod I was repeatedly tortured and abused by my birth family. My mother constantly beat me and so did my half sister. I was raped repeatedly from a young age by one of my half brothers. My other half brothers tried to save me but my mother beat them too and changed their memories so that they forgot about me." I was crying at this point. Luffy pulled me into a tight hug. Several other vampires appeared, a blonde one looking like she might cry if she was able too. I looked down. "I'm sorry that happened to you." Esme said. I wiped my eyes on the back on my sleeve. "It's okay. I ended up being adopted by an amazing woman. And I met Luffy." I said, with a small smile. Luffy kisses the top of my head. "Is there somewhere I can sleep? I'm really tired." I asked. The pretty blonde vampire held out her hand to me. I took it and she lead me upstairs to a pretty looking room.
And got me a pair of pajamas.
I changed into them and crawled into the bed. She tucked me in and left the room.
As soon as I fell asleep I found myself back in that place, only this time the man wasn't alone. He had a girl and a boy with bright red eyes like his. "Go ahead Jane. Let her have a taste of real power." The man said. Jane looked at him with a fearful look, but did as she was told and stared in my eyes. Suddenly I felt an agonizing pain sear through my body. I screamed out, trying to wake up but I couldn't. This went on for what seemed like days until I finally woke up, panting heavily.
The Cullen's were all around me as well as Bella and Luffy. "V? What happened?" He asked, sitting next to me. I just clung to him and sobbed. He held me gently and rubbed my back. "Where are these creeps?" Luffy asked, sounding angry. "In Italy." A buff looking vampire said. Luffy growled. "I'm gonna kill them all." I put my hand on his calming him down. He looked at me and held me tightly. "Don't worry, we'll take you to Italy. Maybe we can convince them to leave you alone." Carlisle said. Luffy raised an eyebrow. "Won't that be hard? Don't you sparkle in sunlight?" He asked. Esme nodded. I looked at Luffy and he nodded. I willed several things into creation. I gestured Esme, Rosalie, and Alice forward. I gave each of them a necklace and then Luffy gave each of the male vampires a bracelet.
Esme:
Rosalie:
Alice:
Carlisle:
Edward:
Emmett:
Jasper:
"Those should let you go outside without sparkling like a disco ball." Luffy said with a smile. They all smiled and thanked us. I willed myself to look like a kid again and changed my outfit into this.
Luffy smiles and changes his outfit to this
before picking me up and putting me on his hip. "Let's get going." He said. Esme smiled as I snuggled close to Luffy, burying my face in his shoulder. Bella called Charlie to tell him that we would all be staying with the Cullen's for the week and then she talked quietly with Edward while Alice packed for us all. Luffy talked quietly with Emmett and Jasper while Carlisle made the arrangements for us to go to Italy.
~Time Skip~
It was almost a sixteen hour flight to Italy and unfortunately I fell asleep through some of it. My dreams were filled with torture and abuse. There was a small dark haired vampire that stood off to the side.
She tried to stop them from hurting me but they only hurt her, and then tortured me more. When I woke up I was sobbing. Rosalie held me tightly and rubbed my back. Luffy sighed and rubbed my back as well.
