Chapter Two

(Caius POV)

I am exhausted. I look over at my brothers in this life and we have been together ruling over the vampire world since almost the beginning of time. I am the oldest and first of our kind which is not common knowledge unless you are in the highest guard or one of my soul brothers. My soul brothers are Aro and Marcus which have gifts in their own right. Aro's gift is the touch of sight, he can see every thought you have ever had as well as everything that has ever happened to you in your lifetime. Marcus on the other hand can see bonds and by bonds that can mean anything from friendships bond to an enemy bond. He also can see relationship bonds like those who are soulmates to each other. Both Aro and Marcus have found their soulmates a long time ago and as for me I actually never thought much of it. I am the most ruthless and heartless out of my brothers with my beast that lives deep inside of me.

It's another day of feeding which means we have our home full of humans and I hate humans! Even feeding is not what it used to be now they just come in like a herd and we just devour them before they even know what is happening. Where is the chase? Where is the hunt? Things are not like they used to be that is for sure.

I was instantly brought out of my thought because the next group was about to enter our throne room and I was hungry. I watched as the group came in and I could see they were young and healthy. Oh, this was going to at least be a great meal I thought to myself. However, I noticed one out of the group that was looking up at my brothers and I and I felt eyes going in my direction knowing she would be first just for the lack of following directions. Our eyes met.

"Brothers…" I silently whispered in warning to my brothers knowing they would be the only ones to hear. I looked over at Marcus quickly and saw his face slightly change and I knew what just happened was real.

(Bella's POV)

Before I knew it the rest of the group was rising which brought me out of my daze. I am not sure if we were given permission to stand or not everything went out of focus when I was looking at this man in front of me. God, he was gorgeous!

"Welcome to the Volturi Castle and let me introduce myself, my name is Aro" The gentleman in the middle started to say as he stood up from his throne and continued with "This is Caius on my right and Marcus on my left" which both of them just nodded towards to group.

So, Caius was his name.

"Ah, how interesting!" I heard the one in the middle who called himself Aro say in an exciting tone while he had his hand on the one he called Marcus while he continued "Well this certainly changes things."

"Girl, I would not complain if anyone of them were to ask me to marry them right now." Ash said while she gawked at the men in front of us. I looked back at them and that's when I noticed it. I don't know how I missed it before. All three of them had red eyes.

"No…" I whispered to myself and started to walk backwards towards the door we just entered from.

Ash noticed me walking backwards "Where are you going?" she asked.

I couldn't speak and just kept shaking my head while everything just came rushing to me in a huge rush. How come I hadn't noticed this before. Had it been that long that I had forgotten that they existed and let my guard down.

Vampires.

Not just any vampires, the vampires that rule over the vampire world. I can't get involved with this again.

I turned around to rush out the door but was stopped by a broad chest and I didn't even want to dare to look up because I knew who it was. I could feel everyone's eyes on me. I knew what this was and that they are not going to let me leave. They won't let any of us leave. I stared at my feet for what felt like hours and slowly I started to raise my head up not daring to open my eyes until I knew I was looking at his face. Once I opened my eyes he was staring at me with this look that I couldn't place and I would be lying if I wasn't scared. I knew who and what they are and I also knew that was against one of their biggest laws. A human is NOT supposed to know about the existence of their kind.

We stared at each other for what felt like forever. I didn't dare to speak and had this weird urge to fall into his embrace but I knocked that out really quickly. I did not have a death wish right now.

"Hello." Caius said to me and it was like music to my ears. His voice was deep and strong.

I didn't respond and he gave me this smirk that I swear made me weak at the knees. What was wrong with me? Get it together Bella I just chanted in my mind.

"Please move out of my way" I blurted out before I could stop myself. Apparently, I was making a bigger scene then I thought I was.

Did I just say that out loud? A few students in the group gasped and I actually forgot we were not the only people in the room. I looked behind me and saw everyone just staring and the two other kings were just looking at Caius and I waiting.

I turned back to face Caius and moved back a few steps to help contain my composure.

"Isabella! Please have some more respect!" My professor pretty much jumped in and pulled me out of the way while he started to mumble an apology to Caius.

Before I knew what was happening a heard a growl coming from Caius and it instantly made me want to go to him and comfort him.

Seriously, I needed to get out of here.

I was instantly grabbed by the vampire that had me distracted and everything was flying by us as I was taken to another part of the castle. All I could think about in those few seconds was great this is how I die.

Until the next chapter...
