Curiosity Killed The Cat
Chapter 2: Accidental Introductions
Once everyone was dead, the raven haired man calmly went back to his chair and sat down, crossing his legs as he leaned his arms on the armrest, as did the honey blonde and bored brunette.
The other ones in the room started gathering the bodies, only to dump them on one side of the room.
The floor was curved downwards, with one big circle that covered most of the room and with another circle inside that one and so on until it lead to the drain, where the excess blood dripped.
Pretty nifty system.
I just congratulated them on their 'pretty nifty system'? I had to be in shock. That was the only explanation I had. Maybe it just hadn't sunk in yet that I had just witnessed a massacre. I couldn't wait to have a mental breakdown about this later.
I noted that their eyes were even brighter now, after consuming their victim's blood. I stayed there observing them. Most of the others had left to go do something else. But three on their thrones remained along with those two guarding the doors.
The one closest to me looked about 6'2 and had a slim build with brunette hair spiked upwards. He was pretty handsome if I did say so myself and looked very confident.
While the other guy was just the most massive thing I have ever seen in my whole life. He looked to be around 6'7 and towered over the little guy. His muscles were beyond well built and looked to be the product of freaking steroids or something. He had semi-short brown hair that was spiked up but not to the extent to his other friend.
I gazed around the room, still a bit hesitant to move a muscle from seeing them tear into people, and I had no idea if my invisibility worked on them or what. But I guessed it did to an extent or they would've have definitely seen me by now.
There were marble statues that were scattered in little pockets of the room. Beautifully carved and made. I looked below me to see I was sitting a little bit over a table with three chairs and a few old looking books below me. I squinted hard and found out that they were in another language.
So much for that.
I heard a knock on the door, startling me as the two men opened it and in walked some woman. Her black dress clung to her tall, slim body as she walked along the bloodied drain before climbing the three steps, her blonde hair swaying with every step. How was she not even fazed by all the dead bodies scattered along the floor?
"Ah, Bianca has brought us something," said the raven haired man in his deep, rich voice as he stood up fluently from his chair.
"She should not have interrupted," the honey blonde scowled at her.
"She's new," the raven haired man defended her slightly.
"Aren't they all?" said the bored brunette. I saw the honey blond smirk in amusement.
She approached the three men, the big burly bastard following behind her, stopping at the bottom of the three steps that lead to the platform the raven haired on and his companions were located, looking very hesitant as she stood before the raven one in his fine tailored suit.
He motioned her with his index finger to come closer. She swallowed before climbing up the first step and she held the silver platter up to him, her arms shaking.
The wide smile that stretched on his face made me feel very uneasy as it did to Bianca as he reached out, and grasped the letter with his pale, long digest. He swiftly opened it and read the card as the woman, Bianca, stepped back nervously as his eyes roamed the black letters.
"Oh, it's from Carlisle. Which is spelt with an s-sweet Bianca." He purred to her. "Ah, finalmente, Bella è ormai diventato uno di noi. He's added a new member to his coven." What did that mean? "It seems our dear Bella has been turned at last," he cheered looking back at his companions, a grin stretching across his face.
Who's been what?
"Ah." The brunette sighed.
The honey blonde smirked, "Increasing his power."
He reached over and handed the message to the bored one. "What joy," the bored brunette said, his eyes cast downwards as he read the words.
"We'll need proof eventually," the angry blond scowled. It was kinda sexy.
I cocked my head to side as I studied him further. Something about his sadistic nature intrigued me. I mean they were all pretty sadistic in their own way, but I noticed he especially took joy in ripping apart the humans and relishing in their screams. Wait what? How could I possibly be turned on by them? They just slaughtered a bunch of innocent people! I think I just must be going mental.
"Patience brother," murmured the raven haired one as he walked down one step and put the letter back on the silver platter as his 'brothers' stood up and walked towards him.
"It seems our dispute with the Cullen's is over." The bored on said as he walked towards the raven haired one.
He paused, "Over?"
"Mm," hummed the bored looking one. I was seriously tired of calling them by their hair color.
"Goodness, no. Our dispute goes far beyond the fate of a mere human."
"And what might it be?" Honey blonde asked in confusion.
"Why brother I thought you understood. They have something I want." He stopped in front of Bianca. He reached out and caressed her cheek, much like he did with Heidi. Bianca blushed and looked at him shyly under his attention.
"Though you do have a point, the human did interrupt." His warm, rich voice suddenly turned cold, as he looked at the huge burly one that was standing beside Bianca, giving him a silent message.
Bianca's smile dropped from her face as the brothers brushed past her, dropping her platter on the ground in shock.
"Oh how I love a happy ending," the raven haired one crooned as he made his way out of the room with his brothers, while the other two fought over who was going to feast on Bianca.
The smaller one of the two pushed the bigger one out of the way and bit into her neck, making a horrible crunching noise as he broke something gripping her too tightly.
I quickly climbed down the stone wall, not wanting to see her being murdered in front of me.
Oh what? You watched an entire group of humans being slaughtered in front of you and you did nothing! But now you can't stand the sight of one woman being murdered? I said it once and I'll say it again. I disgust myself.
I quietly followed the three out of the room, just managing to slip through the doors before they closed. I had to be on alert with those heavy doors. They created quite a ruckus when they closed. I couldn't open them myself without drawing attention to me. I had to make sure to pay attention and make sure I wasn't trapped in a room for days. That would end badly.
I followed them through the twist and turns and endless hallways before reaching a set of dark oak wood doors. Once they had been opened a massive library greeted me. Holy...
"Wow," I whispered as I continued to follow them through the stacks of bookshelves. This place was so cool! I would so live here if I could. I wasn't normally all that into reading but I could definitely make an exception here. There were so many of them!
While I was busy in la la land, trying to look at all the bookshelves that reached as high as the ceiling, we heard beautiful peals of laughter coming from the other side.
I cocked my head to the side and followed the three guys who strolled towards it. I turned a corner and saw two women sitting by a fireplace, laughing with one another.
They were even prettier than Heidi which I didn't think was possible. They way the threw their head back as bellows of laughter escaped from their lips.
One of the woman had beautiful brunette hair, which held magnificent curls surrounding her pale but lively face, and her plump red lips pulled back to reveal her gorgeous set of teeth.
The other woman had ash blonde hair that fell down a little ways past her shoulders with a portion of it tied up of the top back of her head.
I wondered who they were but soon got my answer when the raven haired one approached the brunette and sat down next to her.
"Hello my darling Sulpicia," he crooned, pressing his lips against hers for a brief minute. "How was your trip? Was all well?"
"As well as it could've gone Aro," the woman-uh, Sulpicia, said, "But the book had been destroyed by centuries of neglect and it was no use bringing it back here." She sighed, obviously upset. "But on the bright side Athenodora and I managed to find those scrolls we needed to complete the other collection," Sulpicia said before gesturing to a bunch of old scrolls on the coffee table in front of them.
So the brunette woman was named Sulpicia and the ash blonde was named Athenodora. Speaking of which, Athenodora had already made her way to the honey blonde and they were embracing one another.
"Oh it was ever so boring being without your wit and sarcastic remarks Caius," she lightly teased him, pulling back to looking his eyes before glancing over at the bored brunette. "I missed you as well Marcus," she called to him before bringing her attention back to Caius.
I have never heard such names before, besides Marcus of course, but the others... They were like names from a different time or something. You hardly ever heard names as unique as that anymore, as most parents just call their kids by simple names now, like Tom or Susan or something.
I turned my attention back to the happy couples and I felt a bit sick watching them being all romantic and stuff with these women. I don't know why, it just felt... wrong to me somehow. I could feel a painful twisting sensation in my chest and it was starting to alarm me.
Marcus just slithered past them and plucked a random book of one of the shelves before sitting down on an armchair facing away from them, looking bored as his eyes skimmed the words. I felt kinda bad for him, just sitting there while Aro and Caius were smooching it up with their girlfriends... or wives maybe? I winced when my chest contracted painfully. Maybe I was just coming down with something? I sighed backing away from them. Well at least I knew their names now.
I felt uncomfortable and a little guilty for intruding on their moment so I went off and started to explore other parts of this 'castle', trying to find out who these people were – assuming they're people – and what it is they actually do.
A/N: So, she now knows their name... but has yet to figure out what they are. I'm almost certain the Cullens nor Bella will be appearing in this story, I just threw in that little scene because I wanted to.
So I think I know where I'm going with this story, but I'm not completely positive yet, so if you want to leave a suggestion on what you want to see happen, you're more than welcome to! I'm open to anything at this point.
Thank you so much for the feedback and the suggestions guys! I love you guys so much, thank you for the reviews and I'll see you next time. Bye bye!
