Chapter 2: Reading Minds
saw Aro sat up looking down at me "Darling, you look out absent, has Amun done something?" He asked anxiously with a frown. "No, not at all Aro, it's just that it feels like someone is trying to dissociate us." I replied seriously, while I stood up and walked toward the bathroom, I heard Aro followed me. I stood in the shower next to the bathtub and turned on the tap. The warm water fell against my frigid body I loved the feeling that for the longest time I was in the shower or sitting in the bathtub was feeling so human. What I had not been for hundreds of years, during those years I had lived with Aro, Caius, Marcus and the guards.
But the guards came and went, some had to stay longer for their forces were useful to the clan. Suddenly I felt a pair of strong hands massaged my a rock-hard shoulders, I quite enjoyed the feeling that the man I loved was standing here with me in the shower. I closed my eyes with my head against the shower jet that hung on the wall and let the water fill me with strength and confidence, and let all the pain from yesterday disappear with the water that flowed down to the shower floor.
"Nothing can separate the us my dear," answered Aro to our conversation that had been in the bedroom before I went to the bathroom. "I know, but I'm afraid," I admitted when I turned towards him and looked into his beautiful red eyes, "Don't be," whispered Aro and held me. At that moment I had admitted my fear, I felt weak, a weak vampire 'What did I do to deserve Aro?' I asked myself. "Because you are you, beautiful, smart, sexy and a lot of other things that made me fall for you in the very beginning" Aro chuckled and once again I had forgotten that he could read my mind when I touched him. I'm ever going to learn that? I sighed and pressed my lips against Aros soft for a man they would have been hard, but for a vampire, they were soft. Afterwards we went out of the shower where we spent almost two hours together. I pulled a hairbrush through my silky smooth and thick red hair a few times before I put on some make up and then go to the closet to put on some clothes.
I searched among the hangers that hung on the line before I found a very short pink top with floral designs, a pair of comfortable wear light jeans and high heels that were black but with red heels. Then I went to the jewel box where I picked out a pair of gold jewelry that I put on and then set up the hair. When I got out was Aro already ready as black dressed as usual in a suit and downright hot as usual. "You look radiantly beautiful as usual Selene" said Aro walking towards me to kiss my cheek, then he took my hand and we walked out of the bedroom. Renata and Corin was following us because they are our bodyguards, but I disliked Renata strong for her strong ties to Aro. I did not let Corin use her powers on me because I was already happy or what? We walked towards the throne room, where already Caius and Marcus sat, Aro sat on his throne, and I sat on the steps waiting to Heidi would come with the food. We did not wait long because on the outside the door.
I heard excited voices of tourists who went into the corridor, unaware that they would soon die in the jaws of vampires. Doors opened and in came Heidi with a bunch of tourists, I licked me lightly on the mouth before we all attacked the people who screamed as it echoed in the large room. A couple of guards dragged the bodies to a place where they burned away the evidence that they ever were in this city. Bloodstains on the floor was cleaned with bleach of human servants who had been disgusted facial expressions when they carried out the work. Caius sat bored on his throne playing on the small holes in the armrest. His snow white hair that was barely to the shoulders was not moving. Marcus who was sitting in his seat, looking as bored and grumpy like always, 'What a funny one' I thought while I was playing with my iphone.
Sometimes I missed Carlisle presence here would have been three hundred years ago he was here last, how he tried to persuade us of animal blood instead of human blood. It had been a true entertainment and he was always so very nice to keep up. Nowadays, he lived in Forks who was in America with his wife and their family that he had created. Carlisle had turned the injured or ill teenagers into vampires who then became his adopted children. I heard firm steps down the hallway and the smell of vampire in the air. Soon, a young vampire in the teen years into the room he had bronze hair and golden eyes, 'Wait a minute,' I thought and then I came up with the
'Just like Carlisle,'.
