As you read this story, forget canon exists. I am making my own rules for this one.

DPOV

I couldn't take my eyes off her. Ever since the very first moment I beheld her, took in her scent, I was overcome with possessive want. For a human she was perfection. She was meek and timid, terrified and confused. However, she stood for what she believed in and spoke for a vampire that she knew nothing about.

Edward Cullen could lie and hide the truth with the best of our race, something I never understood the point of. Why lie to get what you want? It made no sense when the truth was always far more entertaining to witness the fallout from. The truth always hurts more, even when one discovers the lies they have been told. It matters very little, I suppose. No matter what, the truth always comes out.

"Demetri, Please show our guests to where they can wait for nightfall."

Pulled out of my thoughts, I bowed my head to my master and held a hand out to the Cullen's and the human. "This way."

As I led them through the hall, the scent of fear and terror that poured off the human and the stench of the emotional cocktail of unease and worry from the vampire wannabes made me chuckle. The seer and mind reader knew what was going to happen, that too much time was spent in the master's presence for them to get to reception before the screams started. I just rolled my eyes. The patheticness of these 'vegetarians' never ceases to amaze me.

A dark chuckle left my throat when we passed Heidi and the group of humans that was about to become dinner. I ignored the seer when she spoke about not being fast enough, even slowing slightly as I made my request to save some for me knowing that Felix would eat every last one if he wasn't stopped.

When we reached the end of the hall and I pushed open the door, I let the three pass by me, saying nothing as I took in pale skin of the human. Huh, seems she's a little queasy. I let my eyes stay on her a moment longer, just to get under the mind reader's skin before I spoke out loud. "Human."

She jumped a mile out of her skin as she whirled around to face me, her eyes wide and full of terror. Her voice was high, hiding nothing of her current fear. "Yes?"

I looked away from her, locking my eyes on the seer, letting them linger until Isabella too was looking over at her. Another moment passed in their discomfort before I looked back at the human. "A small piece of advice from one that could truly not care less if you follow your orders or not." She gulped and nodded, telling me I had her attention. Stalling just a moment longer, I glanced off over to the mind reader and seer. "It would suite you not to believe everything you hear."

She blinked at me, confusion swirling in her chocolate orbs. She shook her head, her voice quiet. "I don't understand."

I hummed in my throat, an offhand sound that showed it didn't matter to me in the slightest. "Oh, you will." I looked her dead in the eyes, "For now, all you need to know is, you will be mine." I smirked when I heard her heart stutter for a beat and glared with a growl at the mind reader when he snapped at me. "You're not out of trouble yet. I would keep that in mind, Cullen." I grinned and dipped my head as I grabbed the handle to the door, "Do not leave before nightfall. I'll know if you do."

It has been months since that day in Italy. Weeks spent thinking about that human and everything I would do to her given half a chance. Everyday a new scenario came to mind and every one of them better than last.

Standing across the field from her now, my memory didn't do her the damnedest bit of justice. Just like that day, I couldn't take my eyes off her as she half hid behind the mind reader. A challenging smirk came to my face as I locked my red eyes on his darkening gold. You didn't need his gift to know what was running through his mind right now and I thought it was absolutely hilarious.

As Jane was talking with Carlisle, I had the strangest feeling of being watched, something that the other guards didn't notice. Breaking the staring contest with the mind reader, I shifted my attention to the woods that surrounded us, my nostrils flaring as my gift sparked. No one really knew how my gift really worked but myself and Master Aro. Everyone assumes that I have to actually SEE my target… but that is not the case. All I need is a scent and I can find anyone because every scent is unique to the mind it goes to.

My eyes closed and a hand came up to my nose, the back of two fingers blocking out the putrid scent of vomit covered wet dog. A quiet groan sounded from my throat, drawing the attention of my fellow guards and the Cullen Coven. I gagged as my stomach rolled.

"We are not alone."

Felix growled deep in his throat, a dark glare settling on his face as he turned to face the Cullen Elder. "What is the meaning of this, Cullen?"

I grunted as I too looked at Carlisle, still covering my nose to try and block out the stench. I cocked a brow at his shocked expression, snorting hard to try and clear my nose.

Carlisle turned to look at Edward, his face still horrified, matching looks taking over the rest of them when the mind reader enlightened them, his eyes wide.

"We underestimated his gift."

This time I snorted in amusement. "As do most."

Jane hummed slightly, her face contemplative before she simply shrugged. "They are not our problem." Then she smiled an innocent smile of the child she was, "I do find it interesting, however, that she is still human. I am sure Master Caius will be most interested to learn of this as well."

Isabella was pressed tightly to the side of the mind reader, unable to make eye contact as she spoke. "The date is set. I'll be changed soon."

Alec chuckled and crossed his arms. "You're certainly right about that."

Edward pushed Isabella further behind him. "Aro gave us time to fulfill the order."

Jane smirked at him. "Just how long did you think he was going to give you? It has been months and yet she still breaths. You were given a reprieve and this is how you thank Our Master? Throwing it back in his face with no regard or care? Somehow, I do not see him taking too kindly to this. And, as Master Caius said before you left; the Volturi do not give second chances."

A very amused look over came Felix's face. "The girl comes with us; again."

Felix, Alec, Jane and I never moved a muscle, the world seeming to slow down around us as the coven went on the defensive. We watched as this massive animal came darting out of the woods, showing us what I had smelled, and the mind reader hoisting Isabella on its back and take off.

Alec shook his head, his voice amused. "Why do they always insist on doing this the hard way?"

The rest of us shrugged. We never could figure that out. Maybe it just made them feel better to know they attempted to put up a fight, even knowing they weren't going to win? That was about the only thing I could come up with, not like it mattered much though.

I never took my eyes off the foul smelling creature that took my human, my head cocked to the side slightly.

Jane spoke, her voice off hand. "We'll deal with them, Demetri. You go get her. I want to go home."

I simply nodded. Out of the four of us, not only was I was the fastest, I was the only one that knew where they were.

"I would suggest not killing them outright. Master Aro would not be pleased."

I smirked when Felix snorted. "Always gotta take away our fun, don't you?"

I glanced down the line at the big son of a bitch. "Master Aro is all about lessons, Felix. What will they learn if they are dead?"

With that, I took the path of least resistance, flipping over the group of vampires and landed in a crouch behind them. With a grin over my shoulder, I planted my foot dead center in the biggest Cullen's chest when he went to try and stop me from moving. The action sent him flying right to Felix.

Seeing the black fog of Alec's gift coming my way, I lunged into a sprint and took off into the woods. I knew I wasn't alone in here, the putrid scent trails of at least five more of the smelly bastards crisscrossing the one I was following. The attempt to throw me off was almost commendable, but it was far more irritating than anything.

Still, it didn't take me long to not only catch up to, but pass the massive fucker that still carried Isabella. Sliding to a stop and rounding back, I smirked at the shriek at my appearance. What I now knew to be a mutated wolf skidded to stop, its teeth barred as it growled at me.

Ignoring the thing completely, I looked at Isabella. "Interesting company you keep, Gatáki. First there were fake vampires and now fake werewolves. I must wonder how you are going to react to the real world you seem so interested in."

I saw her fingers tighten in the fur on the back of the beast, her face pale and eyes wide. "We're following the ruling. Why are you doing this?"

I cocked a brow at her. "Are you? To my recollection, you were told not to dally and not to be seen human again. So, forgive me for following my orders because your so-called vampires refused to follow theirs. The only thing in question here is how much blood and venom you want spilt because one way or another, Isabella, you ARE returning to Volterra."

Before she was able to say a word, the mutant pivoted and bolted leaving me to shake my head. "Alec was right." Then I shrugged, "Very well, Gatáki. We'll do this your way."

I tore off after the wolf, deciding to play a little when I felt more of them coming up behind me. Waiting for the last possible second, I leapt into the air, a light flip backwards and I landed behind one that was a brown color. Grabbing it by the tail, I dug a foot into the earth and twisted, swinging it around and slamming it into the side of a pitch black one. I smirked as they tumbled across the ground, limbs tangled together, yelps and whines music to my ears.

Twirling on my toes, I took to the trees, jumping from branch to branch. When I caught up with the silver wolf that was carrying my little human, I swung from the tree I was in and twisted in the air, landing in a crouch three yards from the beast. I knew it was running too fast to stop or change direction in time to avoid a collision, and that was the point.

Before either of them could react, I had Isabella off the dog and over my shoulder and my foot planted in the ribs of the beast. By the time the scream left her lips, we were in the branches of the trees and the mutt was howling in pain at it slammed into a tree.

I glanced back over my shoulder when I felt her hands tighten on my jacket. "Relax, I'm not going to drop you. The game, however, is over. That is, unless you want them to die. Personally, I don't rightly give a fuck."

I heard her breath catch in her throat before she tried to turn her face up to look at me. "They're still alive?"

I rolled my eyes and snorted. "Of course. Seriously, do you know nothing about those you keep company with? It will take quite a bit more than a tree to kill someone from the supernatural world. However, I would be more than happy to change that if you'd rather."

Her scent was overtaken with horror. "NO! Please don't."

I smirked, "Then be a good girl and hang on tight."

Ten minutes after I left the clearing, I returned, Isabella still hanging over my shoulder. I calmly walked into the ring of trees, smirking at the sight of the Cullens. Some of them were under Jane's gift, others under Alec, but most of them were in more than one piece. Nothing that wasn't easily fixed however; something that was odd to see with Felix present.

As I strolled over the grass, Felix crossed his arms. "Took you long enough, Dem."

I just shrugged the shoulder the human wasn't occupying. "Because it is so much easier to chase down a moving target compared to a stationary one, yes? Don't be a dick."

I heard Jane groan right before the clearing went silent as she cut off her gift. "Seriously, are you two incapable of not bickering?" I chuckled and winked at her making her groan louder this time with a shake of her head. "We got what you came for. Can we go home now?"

I grinned wide and held a hand out in front of me, telling her to go ahead. Jane huffed out a sigh and turned on her toes, strolling out of the clearing leaving the rest of us to follow. I fell into step with Felix, him taking a moment to glance at the human that was just hanging off my shoulder.

Finally, he looked over at me. "So, how pissed do you think the Cullens are going to be when they put themselves back together again?"

I glanced over my shoulder with a smirk. "Oh, I see a poorly planned, half-assed, ill-fated rescue attempt in the future." I looked over at him with a snicker. "I look forward to it."
