A/N: I do not own Twilight or any of its original characters. Those are all owned by Stephanie Meyers. I do own Frost and her "friends".
Enjoy! I won't pressure you.
She lay on the cold floor, her back against the stone. Everything was quiet and calm since Caius had gone last night. He had demanded to leave for the day by breaking the door and yelling at Aro. She had sat, as always, and listened to their conversation. Aro was calm and silent like a cat while Caius was like a crazed lion, dominating everyone with his voice. Now she had Marcus sitting behind the red magohony desk, writing letters to in her guessing himself. This was her opportunity to ask nicely for food without the constant worrying of him getting angry. "Sir, Marcus, may I have something to eat?" she asked in a low whisper. She knew he could hear her bright and clear so she waited. "It's not my turn to answer that, child. You should've asked the guard who was given to you," he replied in a monotone voice. Autopilot. Frost turned red in anger but said nothing. She could never ask Caius anything without his steel whispers and cold glares. She would rather die before going to him for food. She hated him with her heart and soul. And she wished herself dead right now while on the brinks of madness.
The plate was foreign to her. Packed with two biscuits, eggs, a ham, some green stuff, butter grits, and gravy. Frost stared down at it in her hands, smelling so good and delicious she couldn't resist snatching it from his hand. She, despite her hatred towards him, thanked him with a whisper. She prayed for a silent second and ate. She finished it all in seconds and felt a wave flush over her. She stared at the empty plate, wishing for more to fully satisfy her but knew she would have to wait again. Caius sat there and watched her as she stared at the plate. "I hope you don't mind me asking this…" she asked now aware of him watching her. "What is it you are asking of me?" he asked lowly. "I was going to ask you how you knew about me wanting this." "Its quite simple when one's stomach yarns aloud while another is trying to concentrate on his studies." She narrowed her eyes at him. He just smiled and stared back at her. "Why do you hold in that anger you know you feel?" he asked. Frost glanced away from him and at the window nearest to her. She could see the small city of Volterra, bustling with Italians and tourists rushing its streets. Oh how she missed New York and her parents taking her to the finest dines in the city. Now she was sitting her with her foul, probably filthy in appearance and despicable. I wish I could go home, she thought. Caius was now in front of her, kneeling to look her in the eyes. "And why is that?"
He gripped her hand and forced her out of the tower and down the hall. Frost had no choice but to follow him, dragging her. "Where are we going?" she asked. He didn't answer instead her just walked. They stopped in front of a large wooden door that smelled like the forest. Caius pushed inside and dragged her in, shutting the door behind them. Frost barely had time to register where she was. Caius turned to look at her, towering over her. "You have fifteen minutes. None less or more," he whispered and moved to go. Frost caught his arm before he could leave. She felt him rigid under her hands. He looked down at her. "Thank you," she whispered silently. Then she let him go and watched him disappear into the hall and close the door. She glanced around the room she was in. It was a grand bathroom with a Jacuzzi and a separate shower and tube. Lying on top of the granite countertop was a pair of clothes neatly folded and cleaned. Frost let out a heavy sigh and smiled herself. She was finally feeling contented and relaxed after days of being filthy and starved. After weeks of being transferred to multiple vampire clans, treated cruel and hated. Now, once in her new miserable life, she felt oddly happy. But there was still days to come that she knew nothing of.
A/N: My goal is to update this story maybe once every week or so. I need something to focus on since I don't immediately start school for awhile...so yeah! See you/y'all later!
