(Pre-Twilight)
Since she had met Eleazar, Carmen’s life had changed exponentially. Whereas her life had become a mere existence before him, now she felt very much alive. But now she had to take the ferocious amount of compassion she harboured for all, along with the strong love that made her days bright once more. It was a small price to pay, she told herself firmly, as she pushed her drained victim away in the darkened alley of Volterra. She quickly averted her eyes from the crumpled heap, now a pale, distinctive crimson of fresh feed. She brought her slim fingers to her lips and wiped away imaginary traces of blood before pulling out a small blade. This was the part she hated most – covering her tracks. She didn’t look as she stabbed the body and walked away before her heart could explode with grief. She knew it was necessary, there were so many of them in the small town that all precautions had to be taken.
As she shifted herself out of the alley with all the beauty and grace vampirism could offer her, she was met by a terrific clattering. A passing vampiric hand clawed out of its blur of a run and fastened on to Carmen’s bony shoulder. Her instincts reacted immediately, throwing her assailant aside with a dangerous and surprised growl. She crouched and glared at the cloaked guard, though he seemed barely perturbed. He merely picked himself up, reattached himself to Carmen’s wrist and propelled her along beside him with an unstoppable force.
“You’re a required witness,” he growled back at her, without offering any further explanation. Not being enough of a fighter to make her point, she allowed herself to be led at a roaring pace to a small village on the outskirts of Volterra.
As she got to the destination, Carmen quickly made out a small group of five of the Volturi guard and a larger group of humans penned in between them. She could also make out a somewhat bloodied vampire, a stranger to the land, she was sure. He stood in the embrace of a much large Volturi guard, apparently subdued. As she turned her head to ask what was going on, her guide and abductor raced forward to speak to the guide that must have been in command. With the absence of anyone to explain anything to her, Carmen’s red eyes perused the herded humans. Most of them were whimpering, looking at the ground or desperately at their loved ones. None of them gave the red eyed vampiress a second glance, except one.
Standing apparently alone towards the front of the group of humans, was a boy of no more than four years old. He stared right back at Carmen, his soulful deep brown eyes burning into her retinas. Though Carmen could barely see beyond the side orbs, she did manage to gauge that the boy was alone. She could hear his feathery, juvenile heart fluttering at an astounding rate, powered by fear so strong that his face could not and did not portray it. Much to her own disgust, she felt her mouth flood with venom as she continued to listen. What kind of monster was she that she simultaneously desired to pull the boy to her breast and comfort him as a mother and also pull his weak neck to her mouth and partake in his vital lifeblood to satisfy her insatiable cravings? Sometimes she made herself sick, she really did.
“…deemed necessary, witnesses?” Carmen jumped, startled as the leader’s voice cut through her thoughts. She snapped her attention back to the situation at hand, though she could not take her eyes away from the boy’s. Although she had missed what the lead Volturi guard had said to her, she knew full well how these things worked. The detained vampire had clearly revealed himself to the remote hamlet. He would have to die – there was no tolerance for that kind of behaviour. A quick look at her surroundings also told Carmen that the hamlet was remote enough for the exposure to be total and damaging. Generations from now the legends would live on. It wasn’t something that the Volturi could condone, not just a few miles from Volterra itself. The habitation was small, tightly packed, wooden houses, only a dozen and a little wooden church. It would easily look like an accident.
This is necessary.
Carmen swallowed down the venom and nodded her head in stiff consent. The other two witnesses had immediately uttered their own assent in a disinterested manner and she was beginning to attract stares with her silence. She inhaled and noticed the scent of burning wood increase as members of the guard set the outer houses and the central church alight. Still Carmen could not tear herself from the eerily calm eyes of the child. She heard the ripping and popping of the rogue vampire’s limbs, his screams as his body parts were separated and put into the spreading fires. She knew it wouldn’t be an instant before the humans were taken care of.
The boy yawned, suddenly, his eyes closing to break the connection between himself and the compassionate vampire. It suddenly occurred to Carmen that it was past the boy’s bedtime as she watched his steamy breath rise into the night air and become subsumed by the putrid smoke that emanated from the burning hamlet. She never got to see the boy’s eyes open again as a guard leapt forward and massacred the humans in a single second. Only a few seconds later the bodies were thrown unceremoniously into the burning doorway of the collapsing church. Carmen repressed a shudder, she had, of course, been brought up Catholic, and though she had no real religious belief or practice anymore, an image closer to hell she could not imagine.
Her red eyes watched silently as the others crept away from the scene, satisfied that the hamlet would be razed to the ground with no connection to Volterra, and there was nothing else Carmen could do but follow. She made her way back to the cool stone labyrinthine passages of the Volturi and wandered her way back to the private ‘living space’ she and Eleazar often spent time in. she sighed and immediately went to the glassless window that overlooked a courtyard area. Her fingers instantly found the shallow grooves she was gradually making and she gripped on.
She hoped Eleazar would be back from whatever business Aro and the others had him on. The couple were rarely apart when in Volterra, but Eleazar was far too important and valuable to the guard to waste away within the city walls, and Carmen would never selfishly keep him away from where he was needed. If only she could be sure that what the Volturi needed was ‘right’ at all anymore. Her eyes flicked anxiously from the window towards the heavy set door and she lifted her hands realising by the powdery residue that she had deepened the depressions in the ledge considerably. However, as the better half of herself did not seem to be forthcoming, she turned her attention back to the window. To the wide brown eyes that were burnt on to her retinas, staring at her over the horizon. Her shoulders trembled violently in her loneliness, as she watched again the scene of the broken little boy being tossed into the jaws of hell.

Eleazar walked down the dimly lit corridor towards the room that he shared with Carmen. He was clad in dark clothes and the traditional black cloak of the Volturi. When traveling together it was assumed that they would all wear the cloaks, a show of solidarity and also of power. It seemed more intimidating to see all of them dressed that way, rather than a group of individuals. They had to act as one force, so would appear the same as well. While never on the front lines of the fight, Eleazar was always there just the same, and a pivotal part of the strategics. But in Eleazar's mind it would always suit him better when they could keep order without the deaths.
Today however, avoiding death was not the case. Eleazar had been sent with a group to investigate a pair of newborns who had been acting carelessly. Eleazar had tried to state the case that they had yet to have anyone teach them the proper ways to behave, having no guidance from their creator who was unknown to them. The rest of the guard would have none of Eleazar's argument and only requested from him the knowledge of whether either were worth saving, for something unseen to them. Unfortunately neither were gifted, and Eleazar could only turn his head as they were destroyed for the naivety that came with their age.
Eleazar opened the door to their room, removing the cloak from around his shoulders as he placed it on an old fashioned gold coat rack that was beside the door. He looked forward seeing his heart staring out the window. He moved behind her, gently placing his arms around her and kissed her neck softly. "Good evening my dear" He spoke tenderly in both of their native tongues.

Had she not been so consumed by the brooding thoughts of the nameless little boy’s fate, Carmen would have known that Eleazar was coming before he had even gotten to their corridor. As it was, she had no idea of his arrival until the chamber door opened, at that point her vampiric senses made it impossible for her to be ignorant of it. Yet, despite the comfort that Eleazar always brought with his arrival, still she was transfixed to the window ledge.
As she felt his arms ensnare her body, Carmen leaned back a little, taking comfort in his presence and she removed her own hands from the window ledge, placing them around her, on top of Eleazar’s arms. She seemed to collapse a little under his grasp, her thin form becoming slightly smaller as it watched the sombre brown eyes of the boy. They were fading, though; she was too happy that her mate had returned unscathed for any part of her brooding to linger too long.
“I’ve been anticipating your return, my love,” she replied, speaking in the same language as he – it made her feel more secure with him, more private. It helped, especially when she was feeling a little off key. If only they could do something about the overly vicious way in which the Volturi sometimes conducted their business. She knew that her Eleazar wasn’t a violent type, he was on the guard as a passive figure, but he had to support their decision; it only worked if they acted as one. What would he have done if their positions were reversed that day? Nothing, like her; or would he have been more courageous and spoken up? She felt her melancholy return and she gripped him to her a little tighter.
At last she turned to him and faced him. She wasn’t the type to sob; even as a human she had always cried silently, relying on the streaming tears to show her distress. Silent tears were invisible on a vampire’s face, so she looked up at Eleazar with a melancholy expression, which did not even tell the half of it. After she had stared up at him for a few seconds, she wrapped her arms around his waist, pulling him close, and leaned her head on his shoulder, resting her forehead against the crook of his neck. How could she tell him that she wanted to leave this place; could she really give him an ultimatum?

"I've been eager to rejoin you" Eleazar replied softly. He felt much calmer now that he was back with Carmen. She always put him at ease. Even after hard days with the guard, he could always find peace with her. She was his better half, the half that made him whole and able to withstand anything. He pushed aside the thoughts of the recent mission, knowing he couldn't dwell on it, and not wanting to around Carmen.
However when Carmen turned around he saw the look in her eyes. Something was definitely wrong and it frightened Eleazar. Had something happened while he had been gone today? Had she been hurt or threatened? His eyes softened as he looked at her, wondering what had caused this intense sadness in her, and desperately wishing that he had been with her today to protect her from it.
As Carmen put her arms around his waist and rested her head on his shoulder Eleazar held her tightly. "What's wrong my beloved? Did something happen? " He asked her softly, hoping she would open up to him.

As she leant back into Eleazar’s perfect embrace and heard those heartfelt words that came in response to her own greeting, Carmen couldn’t help but be soothed. She kept silent, however, the haunting images still playing back to her, though she did trace little designs over Eleazar’s arms where she gripped them with her thumbs. Everything always seemed so much brighter, so much better when she was here, but then he was away quite a lot. She had already decided that she wouldn’t force him to stay in Volterra with her, an idea that would not have gone down well with the Volturi’s leadership. She knew she had to speak with him about the whole situation, though it made her nervous just in case they were not one of these particular issues.
When she turned around to face the man that she loved, her attention was immediately attracted by the changes that his expression went through around his eyes. Despite her distracting melancholy, she could clearly see the concern that lay in her mate’s eyes, which made the embrace she set about his waist all the stronger. It was clear that he loved her just as much as she did him, and considering that she would do anything for him, then she shouldn’t be afraid of voicing her opinions freely. Then again, could she impose her feelings of the organisation that they stood for, wouldn’t it make him conflicted? She had no intention of making him uncomfortable, but she already knew that she was at the point of no return. The only real decision to be made now was to lie or tell the truth, and she would never lie to Eleazar.
“Nothing to me,” she began, her voice very soft as she inclined her face into the crook of Eleazar’s neck. She inhaled, taking in her lover’s scent and then propped herself back up so that she could speak properly, though she didn’t push herself out of the embrace – it was too comforting to give up. She caught his eyes in her own crimson ones and embarked upon her days’ events, trying to make them sound unbiased, unemotional, but failing slightly. As she drew to the end of the tale, speaking of how the whole community was razed to the ground, she allowed her eyes to fall from his, ashamed that she was being so weak minded.
“I suppose I am finding it much more difficult now to believe in what we stand for…” she trailed off, her eyes focused upon his shoulder.

Eleazar was only a little relieved when he learned that nothing had happened to Carmen directly. She had not been on the receiving end of any harm, which put him a little at ease but did not set his mind to rest. The look on her face when she had first turned around was enough to tell him that she was shaken by some event, and it had affected her, even if nothing happened to her. Carmen's compassionate heart was one of the first things that Eleazar had noticed about her. Her nature emantated from her almost as clearly as he picked up gifts of those around him. Her compassoin was surely the reason now for her distress, and it was still enough for him to be worried for her, and want to comfort her.
Eleazar listened as she recounted the tale of her evening to him. He understood immediately the cause for her current mood, and didn't blame her at all. She was sensitive, he loved that about her. Most vampires had no problem brushing off death, whether of human or one of their own. So long as it wasn't their mate, there was not usually much reaction at all to the demise of another. But Carmen felt it more deeply.She was such a gentle soul.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that" Eleazar said sincerely, wishing she had not been made to be witness to those events. Surely they could have found someone else and not involved her, and made her watch. Eleazar gently rubbed his hand up and down her back in a soothing manner.
"It is no wonder, its been a trying day" He told her completely understanding the doubts she was having. To be honest, he had been having them lately too. It was difficult to be a part of carrying out decisions that you disagreed with. More and more lately it seemed Eleazar went against the general census.

Carmen kept her eyes trained on Eleazar’s shoulder as she waited for him to respond to her tale. Even as she replayed it in her head whilst looking at the pattern of fibres in Eleazar’s shirt, she could hear the echoes of desperation, the carefully controlled tenor of vulnerable need. She hated that it was there, she was supposed to be presenting her story as something akin to a balanced reason for swaying away from Volturi ideals. With that tone, she was afraid that she sounded like she was forcing the issue. Her bright crimson eyes flicked up to Eleazar’s own as he gave his condolences. He didn’t sound… exasperated or put out at all. As she felt his hand move slowly and comfortingly over the surface of her back, Carmen once again rested her furrowed brow against his neck, first planting a little kiss there in appreciation.
“It has been a trying day, my love” she concurred with him, other words lingering on the edge of her lips as she tried to think through the best way to approach the crux of her thoughts. She shifted her hold on him to pull him closer before letting him go and standing up on her own two feet again. She needed to be able to see his reaction fully to see how to proceed; she needed anything to point her in the right direction. Leaving a lightly olive complexioned hand on his arm she inhaled needlessly deeply and carried on.
“Do you not feel that maybe it is a little more than one day?” she asked him, her voice soft, so low that any vampire in the halls or next rooms would not be able to eavesdrop – she wasn’t certain, but she was sure that some of what she felt was almost traitorous to the quasi-royal family of vampires. Her red eyes flitted across his face, trying to gauge emotion and empathise. “If that is a taste of the guard… well, I am not sure how you do it…”
She trailed off, so much left to be said, but she needed him to get his say – defend them, maybe. She knew that her conviction must be quite weak to betray what the organisation stood for, what their race stood for, but she had never felt that way before, not until recently.

Eleazar continued to try to comfort his mate as she rested her head back against his neck, placing a gentle kiss there. The necks of vampires were vulnerable areas. It was where another vampire would go to attack in a fight. But he trusted his neck and his life completely to Carmen, without a second thought, closing his eyes for a short moment, enjoying the feeling of her lips on his skin.
“I hope that tomorrow is better for you” He told her sincerely. “Perhaps you could stay in for a few days to rest, and clear your mind” He suggested, knowing that if she went out again and the same thing happened she would truly be feeling broken down. Her compassion was so strong, he wasn’t sure how much of this she could take. He hoped that she wasn’t taking his advice as a sign that he didn’t believe she was strong. He knew she was, but she was also sensitive, and he hated to see her in a state like this, hurting so strongly.
Eleazar watched as she stood and let him go, leaving only one hand in contact with his arm as she spoke. “It hasn’t been easy” He admitted to her as she wondered how he managed to be a part of the guard. He hoped she didn’t see him in the same light that she saw the guards who had called on her today. That was never his job there, but he was still a part of it. “Some days are easier than others to see the reason why I wanted to be a part of this…I seem to be the odd man out on their excursions more and more frequently”

“Mmm,” Carmen sounded, the air she blew out to make the sound reverberating against the cool exterior of Eleazar’s neck. She absorbed his advice and good wishes, every word that he addressed to her served to bind together the nerves that had been so frayed through the day’s events. It didn’t change the unsettled feeling that she had, though. While here in Eleazar’s arms she would always feel at home, she knew that as soon as she stepped outside of their protective hold she would feel that strangeness that accompanied her down Volterra’s streets. By stepping back outside of that perfect embrace, she served to prove to herself that she was right, Eleazar was the only reason that she tarried in the dark castle’s corridor.
As she stood in front of him, Carmen’s agitation continued to show through as her crimson eyes flicked around his face, gauging his reaction to everything she said. Her uneasy stance was much removed from the easy, relaxed posture she usually had around him and although she did not want to worry her mate too much, she had not felt so at mercy to her emotions since she was a newborn. As he finished talking, Carmen held out her hands and took his gently within hers, enjoying the tantalisingly gentle warmth that she felt in them. She only hoped that his heart would remain warmed to her as she continued on this path.
“Eleazar,” she said, in a manner somewhat more awkwardly than she usually spoke and her crimson eyes flew suddenly from her beloved mate’s face. “I think that, perhaps, the sun may be setting on our part in this. When you stop being able to affect change and start being driven towards a goal that isn’t yours…” she allowed her head to droop further, her long, wavy hair falling before her face as she did so. “My love, don’t think this a reflection on your own self, but I’m not too sure how much longer I can remain here in good spirits…”

Eleazar's head tilted slightly to the side as she took a step away from him, leaving the embrace they had been enjoying. He wondered at first if she had taken his words wrong, and had thought that he had been belittling her by suggesting she get some rest. His look was immediately apologetic towards her, the woman he had fallen in love with since she had arrived behind these walls. But as he looked at her he saw her intention was more serious than angry with him over anything he had said to her. He knew her step away was just to hold a more serious conversation between them.
He hated to see Carmen so tense, something he wasn't used to when they were alone. It only amplified his knowlege that she really was unhappy and serious about what she was proposing. He allowed her to take his hands in her own soft ones as he finished speaking, his eyes searching hers for a way to help her. He had already known in his heart what she was proposing they do, but he still had to hear it from her first. It was a big change, something he wasn't sure would go over well with the others, but for her happiness, and in truth, his own as well, he'd try.
"I think you may be right, mi amor" He said, having had the same doubts she was voicing but knowing that her presence in Volterra was what kept him from ever even exploring the option in his mind of leaving here. Eleazar reached over as she dropped her head, placing a hand on her cheek. "I will not ask you to stay where you are unhappy, and you are right that the work they are doing, while I still respect...I no longer feel I have a part in either." He admitted to her.

As Carmen caught sight of the apologetic look that Eleazar shot at her as she moved away from his embrace, she immediately felt bad for being clearer in what she was trying to convey. It was in no way her intention to make her love feel bad about what had either happened to her or about suggesting means by which she might feel better. The only way she could do that was to get to the point, though, and through quick study of his face she realised that he had recognised the expression on her face as something other than anger. She extended him a small smile, somewhat tentative in nature in an attempt to assure him that she wasn’t annoyed at his suggestion.
Finishing her piece, she peered up through the mass of curly hair that had fallen before her face and looked into Eleazar’s eyes. She hoped that he would see her point of view, she half knew that he shared at least a part of it. He had admitted that his role in the Guard and the role of the Guard itself had shifted a little since their arrival in Volterra. She only hoped that what she was proposing wasn’t too radical for him to take. She was confident of his love towards her, but she knew him to be loyal to the last and she didn’t want to disfigure that loyalty in his eyes.
“You feel the same?” she half-asked, half-repeated to him as he finished speaking. An immediate relief flowed through her veins alongside the venom as if it emanated from the slightly warm hand on her cheek. She tilted her face into her mate’s hand and closed her eyes for a moment before addressing him again. “The question is, then, what do we do? How do we approach this?” She knew it probably wouldn’t be quite so simple as just taking off as some of the other vampires did for Eleazar and his power of deducing others’ abilities were considered a great asset to the Guard.

Seeing her small smile was enough even through the tension to give Eleazar the reassurance that her stress was not over anything he had said or done, but was purely about their current subject of conversation. Living in Volterra. Leaving the city wasn't something he had thought about before, in anything more than a passing thought, but he knew that was because he couldn't see himself walking away from her. With her in agreement, it opened up the possibility to one he could actually seriously consider.
It was still hard for Eleazar to acknowledge how much the goal of the guard seemed to stray. He knew they had an important job to do. It was why he accepted a position here. But the power hungry nature of the entity had arisen and vengence was chosen more often than justice in rulings. He still wondered if that couldnt be changed, and if perhaps his influence was doing something to keep it from becoming worse. But he didnt even have to think to know his priority was living his eternity with his mate in happiness.
He gave her a nod as she questioned that he felt the same. "I have felt less...effective, or perhaps influential in events here...perhaps I am just not a good fit with the rest" He said knowing he was useful to them only because of his powers, not his viewpoints. He knew her next question was an important one. It wasn't normal that the guard just decided to leave and he wasn't completely sure how the others would take their decision. "I think the best course of action would be to be upfront and approach Aro respectfully...let him know we are not trying to rebel, and it is not an action against the Volturi, but that we would like to go off on our own" He paused a moment, wondering if assuming that when they were out of these walls and both free to go their separate ways, that she would still choose to travel with him was too much. "If staying with me is still pleasing to you?"

Carmen waited anxiously as she waited to see whether Eleazar felt the same as she about their current living situation. She knew this would be controversial and she feared that he would be angered by her seemingly sudden dislike of their predicament and their role in life. So far in their relationship they had been of one mind on pretty much everything, but she knew that Eleazar had more invested in the Guard, whereas she lived on the edge of their doings - and yet still she was affected by what they did and why they did it.
She almost sighed out loud with relief as he asserted that he felt the same as she about their situation and she felt as though a burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She hadn't known what she would do if he soul mate had decided that he valued his place in the Guard more than she had realised. She knew that she loved him, but every day she spent in Volterra seemed to be adding an extra strain on her and she wasn't entirely sure she could contain her distaste for much longer - an aspect that could prove dangerous should she say the wrong thing to the wrong vampire.
She nodded as he confirmed that he didn't feel as though he fit well with his colleagues and a sympathetic look permeated her dark eyed gaze. Even though she was relieved that he felt the same discomfort as she, she did not wish for him to be anything less than content. It was definitely time for a change - something that was far from usual for someone of their kind. She listened as Eleazar wisely advised that they be up front with the Masters of Volterra. It made her nervous though - Aro would most likely be level headed about the matter, but the others she found could be more unpredictable and Aro could be swayed by the sadist twins that he had at his command. She knew it would be the only way that they would get across the border without attracting untoward attention, though.
"I agree," she said, quietly, her tone betraying her nerves despite her intention to be strong. Her eyes flicked up to Eleazar as he turned their travelling together after this into a question. She put out her deceptively delicate looking olive hands and buried them in Eleazar's larger ones. "I would be lost without you," she told him with feel, holding his hands tightly. She knew that she wanted to be with him for the rest of their eternity, even if their kind couldn't be united in any official manner.

Though Eleazar was never one to complain much about his job, it did feel a bit of a relief to vocalize for the first time, with someone of like thought, that perhaps it was no longer where he belonged, and that he felt a bit ineffective at times. He did not regret his time with the Volturi guard and knew that he wouldnt. Any society, no matter what types of people made it up, needed structure and to have someone to oversee things and keep order before things turned to chaos. In theory Eleazar agreed with the idea of the guard, but in practice he saw it straying from what he thought its true purpose was, and he knew that he was not furthering a goal he had his heart in anymore. He had a gift which was useful to the guard, in creating even stronger weapons, and he knew when he left his own ability would barely mean a thing anymore, but with the love of his life, Carmen, by his side, he knew it didnt matter.
Eleazar gave her a light smile in response to her sympathetic look. She had so much more compassion than anyone here, her heart was truly her virtue. He could see that they were both on the same page, and were both grateful to be there together. He hoped she hadn't been suffering in silence for too long out of fear of his reaction. He hoped she knew even before now that he would have never betrayed her trust even if she had spoken ill of the guard and of wanting to leave.
As he proposed his idea to her of how to approach leaving he hoped she would think it suitable without it seeming as though he was informing her of how he thought she must act. She was free to make her own decision, if she had preferred to just slip out quietly in the night, but Eleazar's experience with the masters made him think approaching them would be their best bet. He knew it would appeal to their sense of power, and be a show of respect. He didnt want any trouble for himself or Carmen once they left. Carmen seemed to agree to his idea. "We'll go to him together" He suggested softly seeing her nerves at the idea.
Eleazar squeezed her hands as she professed to being lost without him, getting his confirmation that she did want to stay with him after they left. "As I would be without you" He told her. "You are mi amour, my heart, my soulmate"
