Chapter Text
Royal groaned and threw the blankets off of her body, sprinting toward her little sister's room as another tortured scream broke through the night air. The same thing had been happening every night for months and nothing seemed to help.
Royal knew why, of course but she had been too late to stop it from happening. The copper haired dick head had claimed her little sister's heart and then crushed it to dust, leaving Bella to die in the woods.
If I ever get my hands on the spiky haired emo bitch wannabe I'll make him cut his own sparkly dick off and feed it to a child of the moon!
"Hey, Bells, come on. Open your eyes baby sis. Look at me. That's it, come back to me. I've got you." Royal coaxed gently, drawing Bella out of her dark dreams.
"Big Dipper?"Bella asked hoarsely, her throat sore from screaming every night.
"Hey there, Little Dipper. Scooch over, I could use some cuddles." Royal said, nudging Bella over so that they could both fit on her bed comfortably.
Bella moved over and lifted her blankets for Royal to scoot under. Royal pulled Bella snuggly against her and hummed a lullaby her first mother had sung to her to help her get to sleep at night.
Once she was sure Bella was asleep, she brushed the curly brown hair from her face and sighed, "I'm sorry I couldn't get here in time to save you but I swear I will give my second life to make sure you live a happy one."
Royal felt at fault for her little sister's pain even though logically she knew it wasn't her fault. Royal had known all of her life what was going to happen because she was technically from another life, a life where Bella was nothing but a story. She had unfortunately met her untimely end due to ovarian cancer at the ripe old age of twenty two and was somehow tossed back into another life.
Royal had unfortunately not been reborn to the kindest mother when she was brought into this world. The woman did her best to destroy the child that she had never wanted. It wasn't until a couple of months ago that Royal had gathered the proof she needed, sent the information to the police and escaped her mother's clutches.
She hadn't realized where she was until she had found her birth certificate and a photo of her birth father. The second she had seen the picture of Charlie Swan, she knew what was happening.
Royal had shown up on Charlie's doorstep malnourished, half dead and scared out of her mind. The loving man that he is, Charlie had welcomed her with open arms even though he had no legal obligation to, she was nineteen after all. Legally she was an adult.
Charlie had even helped her, after a month-long process, change her legal name from Rachel Michelle Carter to Royal Lily Swan. She had wanted no part of the name her second mother had given her so she sat down with her dad and had him help name her.
Charlie had been doing his best to help Bella with her night terrors and depression but sadly was failing miserably until Royal had arrived. Now her sister at least spoke and ate, even if it wasn't nearly enough.
Bella looked so much worse than the books or movies protested and it broke Royal’s heart so much that she vowed she would do everything in her power to make the Cullen family pay for her sister's pain and make her baby sister strong again.
Royal knew how she was going to do it too, she just had to get to Italy to do it.
Royals prayers were answered a couple of months later when the stupid pixie bitch showed up on their doorstep. She obviously had no idea who Royal was which surprised her but also amused her and made her wonder if she had somehow blocked the picie's visions.
That's how she ended up in the shiny sports car speeding through the streets of Volterra towards a castle full of the world's most dangerous vampires. It both thrilled her and scared the absolute shit out of her.
Royal kept her mouth shut the whole time, playing ignorant to the situation as the pixie cunt dragged her around the world with her baby sister. She did so knowing that she was about to shock the absolute shit out of her and her emo piece of shit brother. The looks on their faces would be satisfying.
The only time Royals control slipped was when Alice managed to grab her wrist a little too tightly while dragging her to the clock tower. She hissed and tried ripping her wrist free from the bruising grip but it was no use. It was definitely going to leave a mark.
Alice, none too gently, shoved Royal through a set of doors before joining her and slamming them behind her.
Royal smiled brightly when she saw Demitri and Felix were already present and her little sister was not in dickhead's arms but standing a few feet away with a feral glare on her face.
That's my girl! Give him hell Bellsy!
Edward turned to glare at her as she stepped closer and asked, "Who the hell are you?"
"None of your fucking concern you limp dick sparkly fuck face." Royal snapped back, moving closer to the Volturi guard who were looking at her with surprised looks.
Royal then turned to the large brunette and the smaller sandy haired vampire and said, " Felix, Demitri, nice to meet you. Can we take tinsel dick over there to your masters please? I have a particular bone to pick with him and I think they might be able to help."
"How exactly is it that you know who and what we are, human?" Felix asked, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly.
"I'm a very interesting person.," She smirked, "and I'm willing to have Aro scan my mind if that eases you any. I'd just rather not blurt it out for everyone and their tiny dicked, Weasel faced brother to hear."
For good measure Royal pointedly looked at Alice and Edward with a glare that could freeze hell.
"Yes, let's take this to the masters." Demitri agreed, gesturing for them to move forward.
"Like hell I'm letting Bella go anywhere near you monsters!" Edward hissed, trying to reach for Bells who sidestepped him and joined Royals side.
"You do not make my decisions for me anymore, Edward. The only reason I came here for you is because my sister said it would prove to be a fun trip." Bella said, smirking at the hurt and surprise on his face.
"You are in danger, Bella!," Alice butts in, "You're human and they are human drinking vampires! They will drain you!"
Royal snickered and rolled her eyes. You just can’t fix stupid.
"Enough!" A light, icy voice called from the shadows as Jane emerged, leveling the Cullen siblings with a glare, "Master Aro wishes to speak with you and the humans will come with us as they know of our secret and that is against the law. Now MOVE IT !"
Edward and Alice flinched and Royal smiled brightly at Jane, hoping she'd get to see her gift in action on one if not both of those idiots. Maybe Aro or Caius would let her use her gift to make them kill each other. That would be fucking amazing! That is, if she lives long enough to see it. She was really banking on Aro's obsession with gifted people to help her and Bella not become vampire chow.
The trip through the tunnel and up in the elevator was kind of uncomfortable. Not because she was surrounded by vampires but because everyone was standing way too close. She was beyond relieved when the elevator doors opened up to the large lobby.
"So I was kind of expecting the opera music, that one was a dead give away but also, why isn't this place like Bowser's castle? I was thinking dark, dirty hallways and flame lit torches and shit. This is absolutely beautiful!" Royal marveld as she pulled Bella along beside her, both girls eyeing the amazing art and decor that littered the castle corridors.
Demitri snorted and Felix held back a laugh as Jane explained, "We may be vampires but we still like luxury. Master Caius has a particular hatred for mess so the castle is kept immaculate."
"Ohh he will hate me then. I'm a chaos bunny. Nothing ever gets put where it belongs." Royal muttered more to herself than anyone. It didn't really matter if Caius hated her or not, if she wasn't dead by the end of the night it would be a miracle.
Royal briefly glanced down and examined her own outfit. She wore a wrinkled panic at the Disco t shirt and a pair of gray sweatpants with some worn in converse she had had since she was twelve. She knew for a fact that her dark brown, curly hair was tangled so she made a last minute decision to pull her emergency hair tie from her wrist and yank her hair into a high, messy bun.
Yeah, I totally look ready to meet royalty.
“I advise you both to remain silent until you are spoken to. We will convey your request to the Masters.” Jane instructed them as they reached the throne room doors, her consideration taking Royal by surprise.
She could have easily let them walk in there clueless and get themselves slaughtered for showing some kind of disrespect or something. Strange.
The two outer guards eyed the group suspiciously before pushing the doors open for them to enter. Royal squeezed Bella’s hand in encouragement as they followed Jane into the large dome shaped room.
