Copy cat
A/N: This reminds me of life and death which I need to read after I finish Midnight sun ๐ I hope you like it! I must admit the personality I gave her in one touch has become the standard for me ๐ซถ๐ป
Warnings: none / Words: I think 1kish
Corin was the center of your attention.
You adored her. Loved her. Wanted to do anything for her. You met her through her friend, Chelsea, after Heidi lured you in through a visitation to their fortress in Volterra.
All of those women were gorgeous. Their crimson red eyes striking and their smiles so sweet it made you follow them anywhere.
But Corin was the most beautiful woman to you. Something about her made you happy. So sickly happy that you surely should get sick.
โAnd Felix is the executioner,โ she finished.
โOh, but what is his gift then?โ
โNo one has ever been able to fight him off.โ Corin smiled, โhe is the strongest vampire anyone has ever seen. I doubt a stronger vampire will ever be born.โ
โWow.โ
โDemetri is the tracker. He can find you anywhere, no matter what you do.โ
โEvery gifted vampire is a high guard?โ
She nodded, โunless the gift is not qualified for missions or trials. Afton can be invisible but itโs not strong enough. He is therefore a status below Demetri and Felix.โ
You looked at her cloak. It was almost entirely black. Only one shade darker than the twins and she shared the shade with Chelsea. You remembered that Heidi did not wear a cloak, โwhat about Heidi? I know what she does.โ
Corin gave you a smile. She knew you were a little careful around Heidi. If Corin had not attended the feeding, you would have died at Heidiโs hands.
โHeidiโs status is outside of our ranking system. She feeds us. However, I believe she is considered the same as Demetri and Felix. Useful, important, however if anyone ever comes with a similar gift of greater range; she would be replaced. The twins for example shall never be replaced.โ
You gulped.
Corin reassured you, โyou are my mate. It does not matter that you do not have a gift. You cannot be sent away.โ
โThank you,โ you sighed. โI feel a little like Afton in a way.โ
โYou could always talk to him! I am sure he can provide you with information and reassurance that itโs okay. Perhaps you can spend time with him anyway when I am tending to my tasks. A friend would be good for you.โ
โI shall ask him.โ
You both heard the quiet footsteps of the tracker. Demetri did not speak as he knocked on the door. You were in Corinโs private chambers.
โWhat is it, Demetri?โ She let him inside.
He politely greeted her, then you. You had only seen him at the feeding, before you were turned. He was beautiful too. And quiet, very quiet.
You heard the laughter of him once when he was with Felix and Heidi. Quite the introvert, similar to Corin you thought.
โI will leave tomorrow with Felix for our annual visit to the covens overseas. Do you need anything from there?โ
Corin smiled cheekily, โcould you get me one of those flower boxes again? I heard there is a new collection coming.โ
โOf course,โ he smiled charmingly.
You gulped when he looked at you. He extended his hand to you, clearly wanting to introduce himself to you properly.
โYou are the new one,โ he grinned. โWelcome to our coven.โ
You accepted his hand, โthank you.โ
He took his hand away quickly when you fell to the floor. The thousand different images of people you knew inside this fortress, where they were standing, where they moved towards, it all appeared at once inside your mind. It was painful, you let out a scream.
โWhatโs wrong? Love, please answer us.โ Corin hurriedly sat down next to you, afraid to touch you.
โIt hurt,โ you cried. โWhen he touched me.โ
Demetri took a step backwards.
โDonโt touch me,โ you yelped when Corin grabbed your hand.
When she touched you, you suddenly felt a strange sense for how happy and content everyone was.
โDid you? Did you just see everything I see?โ Demetri asked.
You put your head between your knees. The images were gone again but the pain stayed for now.
โI- I donโt know.โ
โDo you still?โ Corin stayed close.
โI- I donโt see anything anymore.โ
โMaster Aro must see her,โ Demetri frowned. โThis is unique.โ
โAre you saying I have a gift?โ You looked up at him. Then at Corin, โshould I be worried?โ
โNo,โ she hesitated. โIt just means you will have responsibilities too. We should go to master Aro now.โ
You groaned, trying to get up slowly.
โFelix was waiting for you,โ you whispered to Demetri. โI saw-โ
His frown deepened and he shared a look with Corin.
โHow do you handle that? How do you live peacefully with all that happening at once in your mind? You are like a living gps.โ You looked at Corin next, โand you? You keep people happy? Do you keep me happy? How does that make you happy?โ You cried.
โLove, letโs just go to master first? He can help you, answer your questions.โ
โOkay,โ you took a shaky breath. โI can do that.โ
โCorin? Do I need to stay close?โ Demetri asked Corin.
She shook her head, โI can handle it. I will let you know what he says but surely the news will spread fast. It seems my mate is a copycat.โ
Copycat?
You could copy their gifts?
How dangerous would that be for everyone?
Suddenly the way Demetri looked at you and the way Corin hesitated, made sense. But how? You held Corinโs hand before and nothing happened. Was this just a one time thing or did it need time to develop?
โThat worries me,โ Demetri whispered. He left quickly.
โShall we go, love?โ Corin tried to be enthusiastic. You could feel content again. She was exercising her gift on you.
โI donโt want anyone to be sent away because of me.โ
โYou do not have anyoneโs gift I believe,โ Corin reassured you again. โYour gift would be good for other reasons. Other tasks. But letโs first speak to our masters, they know better than we what you just experienced.โ She guided you through the halls of the fortress. The masters were close already, the throne room was not far from Corinโs chambers.
You sighed, carefully smiling again, โI could be a high guard too?โ
โIf you are really a copycat, then yes.โ
โWe would spend more time together?โ
Corin giggled, โI hope so.โ
โI did like that,โ you giggled too now.
โMe too.โ
