Crynn POV
I may not look like it, but I'm an absolute sucker for romance. As a pure virgin man that has lived for more than 20 years, I've never even once have a first love of even a first crush. Sounds impossible I know, the first time I felt it was in middle grade when I realized that I am not attracted to the girls. I instantly felt worried and set my attention on the boys instead, they don't attract either.
Might I be asexual, I mean even asexuals still feel attraction, I just don't. No matter how hard the girls threw themselves on me in college, I just don't feel like it. As I grow older, I began to feel extremely jealous to all my friends who have girl friends or even have married. They can be so sweet to their partners showing all their affection.
So I figured, if I don't like anyone, I might as well try to feel the romance in others. Like third wheeling my friends on their dates, I am such a jerk, I know. In the end, I tried something new instead of forcing myself to being invited in every single date my friends have, they're practically sick of me. What best way to do it other than watching romance movies and reading romance novels.
Harry Potter is still my number one favorite, but in terms of romance, Twilight is definitely the best. The romantic scenes in the movie, the heart wrenching moments of the couple, and that final battle in the final movie, so amazing. Even before I died, I'm still actively rewatching the entire series over and over again just because of how lovely the couples are.
(A.N : I've never watched any of the twilight movies, so what I just wrote is just my biased opinion reading twilight fanfictions. I've never even read the book. But I'm planning on binge watching it and writing a volume about it, probably the 6th or 7th volume, I may be wrong though.}
So, it certainly surprises me when I heard that the slick man standing in front of us has a surname of 'Volturi', which is not exactly the kindest group out there. We're side tracked here, so where am I? Right.
"I'm incredibly thankful for freeing me, my name is Ferrous Volturi. And may I ask, what's a group of humans doing in such an accursed place." That surname instantly blew my mind, that's impossible!
Last time I checked, we're in the MUMMY world, not the TWILIGHT dimension. What in the shite is going on here. Sure he has red eyes and the right surname but... Hello here, wrong world. "Why the shock," the man, Ferrous Volturi smirked right at me, I hate that smirk, I abhor the vampiric smirks from the movie, so condescending.
"And whats a vampire doing here!" I bit back and I'm so pleased to see a vampire, ironically lost his cool, pun not intended (You very well know it is). Ferrous Volturi appeared to be clenching his teeth and growled at me, not really noble for a vampire. "Wait! You're saying this guy right here is Count Dracula!"
O'Connell yelled while now increasing his wariness and now much firmly holding the trigger on his magnum akimbo. The vampire gave a dirty scowl as he looked very-very offended. "Dracula was a weak bastard whom jeopardize the safety of vampires. We had to team up with the Vaticans to erase that son of a b*tch and his polygamic wives!"
Ferrous just gave quite the outburst, it seems Dracula has quite the vampiric reputation, and vampires working with Vaticans, that's juicy blackmail information. "And you! How do you know I'm a vampire," he accusingly shoved his hand towards me, looking very fierce. "The red eyes Mr Obvious and your surname is quite the stir," that should get him talking.
"How do you know of the specifics behind my surname, did a vampire coven mess up in letting you leave alive with all that information," O'Connell, Evelyn and Jonathan all looked at me demanding some answers. Don't worry, you'll get them soon enough. "Why don't we introduce ourselves first, in more detail."
"My name is Ferrous Volturi, advisor to the Volturi, I hold as much power as the three kings," I've never heard of the Volturi having an advisor, oh no, have I changed history. And holding the same amount of power as the three kings is no joke, the Volturi probably left him here to rot knowing that with him gone, the kings' political power will rise. Aro was honestly an arsehole.
"Crynn Avter, your average rich guy, Evelyn there is an egyptologist, Jonathan's a thief (Hey! -Jonathan), O'Connell's a mercenary of sorts. You haven't answered my previous question," the vampire's eyes twitched before holding his head in a migrain. "And you haven't answered mine too," yeah, I haven't huh.
"I'm here for two books and the rest are for treasure and history. Mind me asking, why aren't you thirsty for blood, you should've been trapped here for quite some time," if I remember correctly, if you don't drink blood in, you'd be extremely hungry and will suck everything that contains blood near you, and this vampire doesn't look thirsty at all.
"The talisman, you released has the power to completely freeze an individual's molecules, so in the duration I was trapped, I couldn't see, couldn't think, couldn't feel. Just imagine an absolute zero temperature without the temperature itself," damn the Egyptians are damn well guarded, how did they get destroyed in the first place if they had this many weapons in their disposal.
"Oh right! What's your vampire power! I remember Aro's being tactile telepathy, Jane's sets people on illusionic fire, and the rest, I suspect you should already know," he infinitesimally squinted as he looked at me with bloodlust which isn't really effective as I had faced my fair share of bloodlust and well, I've gone used to it.
The others shivered though and sweated. "Who do you know that, you're lucky I haven't gottne you killed!" He flared and objects around him, mainly desert rocks and ripped statues began to float beside him. "Telekenisis! Extraordinary! I haven't seen a vampire with an ability quite like yours before."
"Now, onto my previous question, what are you doing here."
