Footsteps to Fate

It was that day of the year again. Every year for over 2000 years I have dreaded this day and the agonies associated with it. The anniversary of her death. Didyme my mate, my love, my wife.

She had died in a battle against an opposing coven. We had been planning on leaving the Volturi and wandering together. Our separation from the rest of the coven was supposed to take place after the battle. I had just finished destroying the last enemy coven member and had made my way to where she was fighting before. But when I got there I couldn't find her. That's when Aro approached me. He said he had seen some of our enemies throwing her shredded body into a pyre and by the time he reached them she was already in flames.

Aro had tried to comfort me for the next few years but my grief was too great to be comforted. I couldn't function due to the extreme sense of loss I felt. I finally forced my emotions into submission and became empty, a shell. But I still felt the grief in sporadic recurring waves.

For over 2000 years this day brought those waves back in full. But not this year. This year I was going to distract myself. I could only hope it would work. As I made my way down the hall to Aro's quarters (where I would hopefully be assigned something to do by Aro) I suddenly felt a strange sense of foreboding… as if I was making fate with each of my steps.

Sorry for the short chapter.

***I have a big favor to ask you guys and gals***

Because Marcus is Italian, therefore European, I will be occasionally using the Metric System and Celsius. I will also be using a few Italian phrases with an immediate translation worked into the story so you don't have to read a footnote to know what it means. HOWEVER I am American so I don't use those systems and I, sadly, do not speak Italian (veeery basic Spanish though ;D).

SO I NEED YOU TO PLEASE CORRECT ME THROUGH REVIEW OR PM IF I MAKE A MISTAKE AND YOU KNOW HOW TO CORRECTLY FIX IT!!!

That is all thank you!
