My first ever story so please let me know how bad or good my writing is and help me improve.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Twilight.

AN: This is an AR (Alternate reality).

Prologue: The Volturi liked having guard members around them with the best and strongest powers. If a guard member had any living, human relatives/descendants they were watched for powers or the potential for powers if they were changed. This as the case with Demetri. His family line was watched through the centuries, but none showed anything. That is, until 2005 when Addison Reynolds at 17 years old was identified as having the potential. She had been watched since she was around six and had not shown anything until then. They were planning on waiting until she was at least 18 but everything was accelerated when her boyfriend became abusive.

Aro POV

I was in my chambers, filling in a crossword puzzle that was in a book Sulpicia had given me as an impromptu gift after one of her shopping trips, when a knock sounded at my door. I spoke "come in."

Afton entered. "Aro," he said in greeting as he bowed his head. I smiled, glad to see him. "Afton. What do I owe this pleasure?" in what I hoped was a warm voice. Just because I was Aro, intimidating Volturi leader and bloodthirsty vampire did not mean I was cold. He smiled at me. "It's about that girl. Demetri's descendant." I nodded, understanding. He continued "well... I'm afraid she's going to have to come here sooner than we thought." I frowned.

"Has something happened? And when you say soon, how soon?" "In a few days. She's involved with a guy. Has been for about a year. He's become physically abusive. She's been knocked unconscious more than once recently. We're concerned he could kill her, especially with the numbers of injuries she sustains when he beats her. I believe she will be safer here. We don't need to turn her, just protect her."

I nodded at his explanation and then thought about it. He was right. We had watched Demetri's family for centuries and she was the only one who had shown promise of a power. "Ok. I'll sort out the assignment. I think a disappearance would suffice, don't you?" "I believe it would." "Could you summon Demetri to my chamber? He needs to know what is happening. She's one of his." "Yes, master."Afton said, before leaving.

A human living in a castle of vampires. This was going to be interesting. I was excited. Something new and different for us! I heard some steps coming down the corridor. But instead of it being Demetri, it was Alice.

She had a massive smile on her face. She bounced up and down on the balls of her feet in evident excitement as she waited for me to accept her presence. "Yes, Alice? What is it?" "I had a vision, Master. I think you should see it," holding out her hand before striding towards me. I took them into mine, closing my eyes. Opening my eyes, I smiled and dropped her hands. "Thank you, Alice. That was very helpful." "Who is she?" "She's a descendant of Demetri's. She has the potential for a power. She's being hurt by her boyfriend so we're going to save her. Keep it quiet for now." She smiled. "Of course, Aro. I wouldn't tell anyone."

At that she flounced out of the room, leaving the door open behind her. The near future was definatley going to be interesting.

AN: Next chapter will be up soon.
