Pre-ball Jitters (Open)

[Renata Irene Volturi]

Another day in Volterra was beginning, and Renata couldn't help but smile in satisfaction as she heard her family going about the Volturi castle finding ways to amuse themselves in the absence of any Volturi business to take care of. Renata herself was currently in one of their 'living rooms' having been told by Aro that he was going to spend time with his wife Sulpicia and that she could do as she liked in the mean time. She smiled as she thought of the couple. They went so well together, and it was clear they loved each other very much. She sighed softly. I wish I could find someone who loved me like that.

Still, she had her family. Her large, wonderful, admittedly dysfunctional family. Unfortunately, the Volturi had many enemies, as was to be expected when one family had been in power for centuries. Thankfully Renata, along with many of her siblings, had been graced with an ability to help protect their family. Working together they had managed to shield the Volturi from serious harm for many years. Until she came along. Isabella Cullen. She alone had rendered many of their abilities useless when they had met with the Cullen clan to investigate an informant's claim of an immortal child. If the Cullens decided to utilize the opportunity this presented them with, the Volturi would be in serious trouble. Renata frowned to herself as she considered this. The leader of the coven, Carlisle, had once been Master Aro's friend though, so perhaps that old, somewhat damaged friendship would convince him to not do so. She certainly hoped so.

Still, what had Master Aro been thinking? To invite so many of their enemies into their home, their safe place? He was practically inviting an attack! There could be no doubt that the Volturi had lost favor with much of the vampire population that day fifty years ago, and many who were in the clearing would be attending the ball. The guard would do their utmost to protect the leaders and each other, but when surrounded by so many enemies could they really expect to come out on top? She frowned and turned the page of the book she was to distracted to read. Well, maybe she was worrying too much. Maybe nothing bad would happen. Still, she couldn't help but think that something was going to go wrong. She was shaken out of her thoughts when she heard footsteps approaching and glanced curiously at the door. smiled and hummed softly to herself as she thought of her family. Had they come looking for her, or just to relax in one of the common rooms around their castle? Her smile grew as images of her family flashed through her mind. Truly, she was a fortunate woman. No doubt the approaching vampire was one of her family members, the question was, which one?

I WAS LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES

• Many days fell away with nothing to show •
AND THE WALLS KEPT TUMBLING DOWN

This ball. Was costing Aro more then he had wished to spend, but he needed to fool everyone and hide his true motives behind this ball. Even his guard would be on a need to know bases; the night must precede as he requires it to. If not then god help anyone who screws the night up. And he was going to make sure no one even trys.

Renata. was the only guard that would understand his plan, after all she was his bodyguard and she was to play a huge part in his Screen play along with Jane and Alec. Aro began to make his way towards the guards quarter passing countless guards . After all he was in their part of the castle, a place he rarely visits unless he has a reason to warrant a visit.

He knew most of the guards would most likely be in the conmen room, but she was looking for Renata, to inform her that she was back on duty so to speak. But he also wanted to talk to her about how state of mind when it comes to love and how she feels about the ball. Aro could tell she was in pain, but would not bring it up in public as to save her feeling humiliated.

He lightly pushed open the door and smiled as Renata came into view. “ Renata my dear. Here you are, i wish to discuss some things with you, i know you have things on your mind. but i cannot have my bodyguard troubled by what troubles her, so what is on your mind dear.
