Chapter Two: Plans and Guests
Disclaimer: I don't own the Twilight Saga, just Anna Marie.
AN: Sorry, it took me a while to update but I've been busy with school and my other story, Bella's Cousin. Please read and review.
Marcus's POV:
"You want me to do what?!" was the first thing I could think of saying after Aro's proposition.
"Marcus, just think about it. It worked for the Cullens and the Swan girl while she was human. Why won't you try it with Anna?" Aro asked me.
"Because it nearly killed the Swan girl and I'm not putting my mate in that kind of danger because you want to have a hybrid child to study or add to your collection of powerful guards," I told him and stormed out of his office leaving him speechless and Caius sat in his chair quietly like a spectator.
I saw Demetri in the hall on my way to my chambers and sent him to have Gianna make breakfast for Anna and set it in the garden under the peach trees. Anna will love a nice breakfast in under her peach trees. She was the one that planted those in garden. The flowers were beautiful in the spring and fruits were apparently juicy in the summer from what Anna told me. The pink flowers were now in bloom and Anna would like to go relax under them.
I stormed all the way to mine and Anna's room to where I calmed down and walked in to see that she was still getting dressed. She noticed that something was bothering me and I gazed into the mirror to see I had an irritated look on my face.
"What bothers you, mio caro?" Anna asked as her hand stroked my cheek.
"My brothers held me back a while longer for a meeting but don't worry, la mia bellezza," I told her as I kissed her palm.
She nodded her head and walked to the chest to slip on her gold gladiator sandals. I walked into the closet and came out with her black cloak that had the Volturi broach on it. Anna stood up and I clasped it around her shoulders and turned her around. I pulled her into my arms and kissed me passionately.
"I have a nice breakfast set out in the garden under your favorite tree, la mia bellezza," I told Anna as I lifted her into his arms.
She giggled and I flitted out of the room and down the hall to the garden where her breakfast awaited us.
I had Anna lying between my legs as she ate a bowl of strawberries and I ran my fingers through her hair. The flowers' petals were gently falling on us as I went to pick one for her. I tucked it in her hair and tried to relax but the things Aro had said kept playing in my head. What if Anna had wanted a child? I couldn't give her one without nearly killing her. Anna must've noticed something was on my mind because she rolled over on top of me.
"What's on your mind, Marcus?" she asked worried.
I sighed and explained what my brothers had told me. I told her about the hybrid vampires and let her think about that. She sat up on my lap and straddled me surprised.
"You mean I could have your child? It's possible?" she asked me surprised.
"Yes, but it could kill you, Anna," I told her worried.
"Maybe not, I'm a witch. I'm more durable than a human," she boasted with a smile.
I gave her a small smile but didn't talk anymore about it. I thought about all the covens Aro invited for our wedding, I just wish Anna's parents could join us. Her mother possibly could since she, too, was a witch, but her father or stepfather wouldn't be able to come. She told me that she had a sister that passed away recently, so her family wouldn't be together to celebrate our union with her. We have everything prepared and ready but now we just need the guest.
Anna stood up suddenly and I became cautious but she quickly calmed me. She pointed to her watch on her wrist which I knew meant it was her meditation time. She moved to sit under the peach tree with crossed legs and her hands placed on her knees. I gave her a kiss and told her I was going to welcome the guests for our wedding. She nodded her head and closed her eyes. I walked to the door and gazed back over my shoulder to see her levitating with bluish energy around her.
I grew use to that when I first met her. Her magic had amazed me and still does at times. She told me that meditation helps with the flow of power and the memories that are starting to come to her. I stepped into the throne room and took my seat on my throne. Many of the covens arriving for the wedding are showing up tonight and meeting my Anna. After the third coven came in and greeted us, my brothers and I turned in our thrones to see Anna walking up to us with Athenadora and Sulpicia. She was no longer dressed in her sundress but in an elegant silk red dress with a heart shape bodice with onyx jewels outlining the top and her waist. She wore her cloak with the hood up. She wore a little bit of makeup but not too much, just enough to add some color to her face.
Anna smiled at me as I put my hand out to her. She gently grasped my hand and I pulled her into my lap. She smiled as we gazed into each other eyes and I pulled her into a kiss. We heard light footsteps coming down the hall to the throne room. I sat Anna on my lap properly so the next coven can greet her. Heidi walked in first, bowing to us then moved to let the Cullen family in along with the shape shifter, Jacob Black. Anna hasn't noticed them yet because she and Sulpicia were talking. Aro stood and walked down the dais to welcome them.
"Welcome Cullen family," Aro greeted emphasizing 'family' though.
Anna turned around with a smile and was about to greet them when she suddenly froze. I became worried until I realized that Isabella Cullen, also, froze to spot.
"Well, hello sister, I didn't think I'd see you ever again," Anna said indifferently as she stood up from my lap.
"Hello, Anna, seems that you decided that being a witch wasn't enough for you," Isabella growled.
Anna got angry and I watched as her hands began to glow with the blue energy again. She began to levitate off of the dais and away from me. Edward grabbed on to Bella protectively but she brushed him off and stepped forward.
"You want a fight, Anna? Then I'll give you a fight!" Isabella yelled at Anna.
The next thing everyone knows, both Anna and Isabella were lunging at each other, their nails and claws raised ready to fight.
AN: Translations: mio caro-my dear...la mia bellezza-my beauty...Cliffy…duh...duh…dunnn… Let me know what you think. Sorry it's kind of a short chapter but please review, thank you.
