Well, this is my new story, nothing to do with the other two. I hope you enjoy it, be warned there's quite a bit of swearing and stuff, one chapter later on is a lemon which i can either upload with this or separate but that's not going to be for a few chapters.

Disclaimer- i only own the plot and Mel/Melanie. No twilight characters or story lines.

Shit, what have I got myself into?Walking through the ancient castle, I knew something funny was going on; I mean a free tour around the castle. I could feel the tension and fear coming from the people around me. I've always been able to 'read' peoples emotions. I can tell when someone's scared or happy and why but only if it's because of me or including me, like now, they weren't just scared for their lives but mine and everyone else's. It was kind of scary the first time it happened was when I was eight and since then I've been able to do that sort of thing. So yeah, everyone one here are worried about being in a castle and think something bad might happen because people come in and don't come out. We made our way up large twisting stairs and eventually came to a grand set of heavy wooden double doors. The tour guide knocked and the doors opened instantly. Freaky.

"This is the main hall." She said in her ridiculous voice. She was obviously putting it on, and to be honest, she's a total slut. Stepping into the room I didn't notice the room itself because in the room where about fifteen people all in dark cloaks, who do they think they are, Count Dracula? They must be hot, I'm sweating and I'm wearing shorts and tee-shirt.

"Dearest, you have done well." Some dark haired dude, gay no doubt, said taking her hand. Next to him where to two other guys, one with blond hair and another with dark hair, who looked utterly bored, a little like me. I don't know why I came on this stupid tour, I mean I'm on my own in Volterra, actually I'm on my own in Italy. I'm sad enough to come on a holiday by myself.

"Thank you, master." She smiled. Yeah, definitely gay. Suddenly a wave of impatiens hit me like a steam roller, coming from nearly everyone in the room because they are…thirsty? What the fuck? Go get a drink then you creeps. And looking at them they really are quite creepy, they're all pale and tired looking and all, and I mean all, have dark red, almost burgundy eyes. What the fucking hell is going on?

"Now, who wants the first bite?" The dark haired gay turned and asked all the others. You what now?

"Could I please, master?" Said a huge dude, stepping forward.

"Of course Felix, take your pick." The big dude stepped forward towards a woman at the front, who was panicking. He put his arm on her face as if to kiss and then he bit her neck. Bit her neck? What? Then all the other people started stepping towards our group and doing the same.

This is a weird, I'd say I'm scared but I'm not, I don't scare easily. But one thing's for sure, I'm leaving. "I'm just going to go now." I said, pointing towards the door and starting to run towards the door.

"Where do you think you are going?" Said a small boy stepping in front of the door as I got there, I'm sure he was just on the other side of the room.

"I'm leaving, because this," I said motioning around the room, where I seem to be the only one whose throat wasn't in someone's mouth. "Is a little weird and they are all dead. Yeah, nice to see fourteen people get killed and everything but I plan on living past my seventeenth birthday, so I'm going to go now."

"Oh, you're not leaving." He laughed sadistically. Stepping closer to me.

"Don't make me hurt you little boy, I do karate."

He laughed out loud, nice. "Oh, you couldn't hurt me if you tried." He said glaring evilly.

"So, your annoyed with me because your thirsty, huh?" I sighed.

"What?" he asked started.

"Your annoyed because you," I paused concentrating. "Want to drink my blood. Oh, well that's nice." I said sarcastically.

"Alec, leave her." The gay said.

"Yes master." He replied bowing his head, then glaring at me and walking away. Touching hands with 'master' as he went.

"Girl." He called me.

"I have a name." I said turning grudgingly.

"I'm sorry and what is that?" he asked looking apologetic.

"Well, I'd tell you but there's fourteen dead bodies on the floor and I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. Hey, don't get annoyed with me for having an attitude, it's how I do." I said sensing his annoyance with me.

"I'm sorry." He said snapping his fingers, within seconds the bodies where gone.

"Better." I smiled.

"Now, child. What is your name?"

"Melanie, but you can call me Mel." I told him. He put his hand for me to shake it. "Not going to happen."

"I'm sorry for what you witnessed but it is part of our lives."

"So, how come I didn't become Mr. Creeps dinner?" I asked slightly annoyed. Mr. Creep, 'Alec' growled.

"Alec, not now child." He said waving his hand dismissively at him. "Because of something you said. You really did save yourself in your outspoken and self-righteous ways."

"Self-righteous? I'm not self-righteous." I said annoyed "But what did I say that 'saved me'?"

"Dear child, I believe you have a power, to read emotions and reasons behind them. It's is a very special gift."

"That's right, now can I go?" I asked getting annoyed.

"After what you've seen? No I'm sorry." He said, unsympathetically he was feeling more gleeful than sympathetic. "You now have two options dear child."

"Seriously dude, stop with that dear child stuff, it makes you sound like a peado."

"You are very outspoken child and this is the dialect from a different time."

"Okay. So yeah, what are my options?" I said crossing my arms.

"First, take my hand." He said outstretching his arm.

"See, sounding like a peado again." He looked at me expectantly. "Fine." I said taking his hand. "And why am I doing this?"

"Quiet child." He said putting his free hand to my lips. I shuddered. "Very interesting, very interesting indeed."

"You done now?" I asked hopefully.

"Yes, I am." He said, still holding my hand.

"Well, I'm going to, you know, take my hand back now." I said slowly taking my hand from his. "So, my options?"

"Ahh, yes. Well, you have a great power and I would love to have you as part of my, 'family', if you will."

"The other option?"

"You die." He said sadly. "But, that would be such a waste."

"So, I have the option either be killed by a vampire, you are vampires right?" he nodded. "Cool! I never thought they'd be real, well I knew something was going on but vampires. Well, when you started saying bites and bit someone's neck, it was kind of obvious but still." I gushed " Anyway! I have the option to be killed by a vampire or join a vampire army. This is a weird time for me."

"Yes, I understand that. But of course, if you joined us, you'd have to become one of us. Your powers would become stronger, you will become stronger and faster too."

"Who else has powers?"

"Most of us, whether it is brute strength or a power to read minds or cause pain. I can read someone's mind by touching their hand."

"So that's why you wanted to hold my hand?" he nodded. "Shit, sorry about the gay thing." I whispered.

"Not a problem child. So what have you decided?"

"If I become one of you, will I get to suck blood and sleep in a coffin and stuff?" I asked, oddly excited.

"Yes, part of that." He smiled an alluring smile.

"In that case, I'm in. But don't expect me to change, I'm staying how I am, besides being un-dead and shit." Not like I had a family to go home to, I live alone, I only have two 'friends' so I won't be missed and this sounds like a pretty good deal.

"Ahh, excellent." He purred, smiling.

Hope you all enjoyed let me know if you did by reviewing. No update unless i get some reviews and stuff.
