I was born Demetri Costas the late 12th century, in Krokos, a small town just outside the city of Konzani, Greece. I was the middle child of all girls, the first boy... to carry on the family name. I grew up to be the protector to my 4 sisters, my father had brought me up in the way his father before him had brought him up...to be the hero to all women. I had a very troubled upbringing, my 2 older sisters were married off before their 20th birthday and my father had the same plans for me. I was to be married off before I turned 25. He had found a possible wife for me and it was all arranged...that was until...Aro found me.
Aro had been watching me for a while..like most vampires...in the darkness of the night or from the shadows...he could apparently tell that I would bring a special gift to the Volutri...the gift of being able to track anyone.... Aro had me cornered on night. I had been sent out to find my youngest sister Elizabeth...I don't remember much of that night apart from my body feeling like it was on fire...the pain was excruciating... When I woke from the "change", I was in a dark cave somewhere near my town...my throat was burning and I was alone...I didn't know what was wrong with me but I knew I needed to "drink" something... I caught the smell of a young female near-by..my instincts took over and I managed to sneak up on her, like I was invisible...I feasted on the young female and before I knew it..she was dead..it hadn't clicked in my brain what or who I had killed until it was all over...it was Elizabeth...my youngest sister...Elizabeth wasn't the only one of my family I killed that night...before I could stop myself I had killed the rest of my family...all 4 of my sisters and parents...I may have killed their husbands but...I don't know for sure...it was all a blur in the end...all the killings seemed to merge into one... I remember walking around my town...still thirsty for the blood that I craved so much now...When I felt a hand on my shoulder and a voice I can remember hearing before my body burned...."Demetri my boy...we need to leave this place." I don't know what came over me but I flipped the person over my shoulder and was snarling in his face...Aro was laying there...a smirk on his face like he was proud of what he had done..."Well done Demetri, I have many uses for you back in Italy," the words Aro was speaking seemed to just pass by...they weren't sinking in... I took off before Aro had time to adjust his cloak...into the dark forest surrounding the town...into the unknown...I swept through 3 towns that night, killing every soul I could find...before...something came over me...I could tell that someone was close by...like I was tracking their movements....I span around quicker than I knew I ever could and came face to face with Felix...Aro had sent him to "escort" me back to the Volturi Castle.... Felix threw me through the large wooden doors of the throne room. "Felix...be gentle with our new guard." Hearing those words made my head snap up, what did they mean "guard"? I wasn't here to guard someone was I? It took a few "accidents" with Felix before it finally sunk in...what I was and why I was created...to be an Elite Guard for the Volutri Masters....to serve them for the rest of eternity... Felix did his best to train me to the standard that Aro requested of him...but it was no use...I was numb...I refused to listen to anyone..vague memories of my family back in Greece haunting me...reminding me of what I had done to them...killed them all without a seconds thought... I did however accept my new life but...I would never be the caring man that my family had raised me as...I would forever walk this earth..broken hearted and out for revenge... I sent on another mundane mission for the Masters, one of high importance. As I made my way to the the town of Boulder Colorado, I was plagued with the few memories of my family I had been able to hold onto. I crossed the river and her scent was everywhere. I approached the cottage. That is when a second scent hit me, making me stop in my tracks. I shook the feeling off and stormed into the cottage. I grabbed the human. She and I were escorted back to Volterra and I presented her to Aro. Aro was most appeased that I had brought him the one he sought after the most. “Well done Demetri. She is going to be of great use to me and my brothers.” I bowed as I did every other time, my mind in other places as I watched him interact with the human. I was ordered ordered to change her as Felix stood guard to make sure I didn’t have an accident. After the years of showing these people my loyalties, I still am not trusted. Anna was changed that night and when she awake a whole new set of challenges came my way. She was a gifted seer. She was Aro’s prize until she asked to leave 23 years after she came to be here. She was given permission to go and after she didn’t return as Aro had hopped I was sent after her. She was very good at hiding from me as her ‘gift’ was more powerful then any of us gave her credit for. It had been 3 years of hunting her down before I was able to track her to Forks Washington. I hadn’t made Aro aware of her location as I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a false alarm as the last three attempts were. I made it undetected into the small town and I was hit by a scent I hadn’t smelled in years. I tracked the smell and ran into a beautiful girl. I felt a strange sensation over take me as she walked away from me. That was the day I started to live again. I had found my true love. I had found Marissa. It was months before anyone knew we had been seeing each other. Her father brought her to Italy to ‘meet’ the new man in her life and that is when things started to fall in place. When Alex “disappeared” and I came to find out Marissa had powers, I knew who her mother was. I knew the secrets they shared and I knew I would do anything in this world for her. We have had good time, bad time and times where I wanted to take her and run to hide. The masters want us but I won't let them get to my family. So, here we are a year later, married and have a son Landon. They are the reason my stone heart wants to beat again. I will always do what I can for them and I will always protect them... After years of Mari thinking she would never be able to carry a child of her own she found out she was pregnant...turns out that the only way she could do that was with a vampire...to say I was over the moon about it is an understatement.. She didn't exactly have the easiest of pregnancies but then again...she was pregnant by a vampire, that should say it all..she had a few broken ribs and weeks of agony with the baby developing but she fought through it all, put on a brave face to people, acting like it wasn't hurting her, but I could tell she was in agony… I am her husband after all.. Reighanna Elizabeth was born 28th May 2011..she is the perfect little miracle that both me and Mari never dreamed would happen to us… I wouldn't change anything about my life, I have a beautiful wife that has gone through hell whilst being with me, a son who has bizarre mood swings but I wouldnt change and now a precious daughter that I never dreamed I would have... |
