Here's chapter number 2. Please Read & Review :)


It was a few hours later when Katherina opened her eyes, she was lying down in a warm soft bed. She slowly sat up on the bed and looked around the room and groaned when she saw Alec sitting near the bed, reading a book.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I was instructed to look after you until you woke up," he replied, calmly as he kept reading.

"I can take care of myself. I don't need your help," she said, looking at him. "I don't need anyone's help".

"That's a lie and we both know it," Alec kept reading. "You need help as much as anyone else does".

"You would know… you don't even care what happens to me!" she half-yelled.

"Why don't you scream it out loud, see if anyone can hear you," he replied, keeping his gaze on the book in front of him.

"Can yell as loud as I want and they still wouldn't hear me,"

"Is that so?"

"Of course it is so… do you think I don't take precautions when I know I'm going to be surrounded by vampires?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I know this spell that will make people, or in this case vampires, hear what I want them to hear," she smiled. "Unless you're close enough… like you are now".

"You think about everything, don't you?" he asked, finally looking up from his book.

"I'm just trying to stay alive…" she shrugged. "Nowadays that's a little hard for me".

"Why?"

"That's none of your business…"

"Is it not?"

"No, it's not," she said, getting out of bed. "Can you leave, now?... I'm fine and you should go do something more useful than just sit there…"

"What do you want me to do?" he asked.

"Leave…" she smiled. "I'm not going anywhere don't you worry, but I do need my privacy".

"I'll be outside," Alec said as he walked out of the room.

"Whatever," Katherina said, knowing he couldn't hear her as she looked around the room. "Nothing fun here…"

It was a couple of minutes later when Katherina opened the door and stepped out of the room, dressed differently. She was wearing a green summer dress that went slightly above her knees, along with some black, striped high heels.

"Where did you get that?" Alec, who had been waiting outside the room like a loyal puppy, asked.

"Really?" she rolled her eyes as she walked away from him and towards the throne room. "I thought you were smarter than that…"

"Katherina…" he said, keeping up with her.

"What do you want?" she asked as they arrive to the throne room.

"We'll talk later," he replied, as the doors to the throne room.

"My dear Katherina," Aro smiled when he saw her enter the room. "I hope you're better."

"I am…" she replied. "You can't expect a girl to fly from England to Italy, then pull a stunt like the one I did and have her walk out as if nothing had happened".

"Yes, well… I was very curious," Aro said, walking towards her.

"And I don't blame you," Katherina smiled. "Now, why don't we get to business?... why did you really brought me here?... I'm sure it wasn't just for some spell…?"

"You're right," Aro replied, turning to face Marcus and Caius. "We are having some problems…"

"With Children of the moon…" Caius finished for Aro.

"Werewolves?" Katherina asked. "I thought you had killed them all… or at least most of them"

"What do you know about them, my dear?" Aro, who was now facing her again, asked.

Katherina shrugged. "The usual…"

"Do you know how they were created?" Caius asked.

"Well… there are many stories…" Katherina replied. "I don't believe most of them…"

"What about the one that involves you're kind?" Caius inquired.

"That's one of the oldest…" she said. "But no one knows if it's true…"

"Why don't you tell us about it?" Aro asked, kindly. "Give them," he stopped to motion the guards around the room. "A little history lesson".

"There's not much history in this," Katherina shrugged. "But I'll do it".

"Wonderful," Aro said.

Katherina sighed. "Well, the story says that quite some time ago there was a girl, rather a young woman, and she fell in love with a man, who made her believe he loved her back, but he didn't and she didn't find out about it until they were to be married. He betrayed her and went with another woman, so she put a spell or him, though I would call it a curse, anyways… the spell said that during the night of the fullest phase of the moon, he was going to turn into a creature, half human, half wolf. He would lose his human mind completely, turning him into a beast." Katherina stopped as she thought about something else she had heard. "Some said that even after what he did, she still loved the man… I don't know why she was so stupid… but that's not my problem, anyways… she removed the spell she had cast on him, but after he had infected some people… but I honestly don't know what happened after that".

"So, it can be removed?" Caius asked. "The spell, curse or whatever it was…"

"Maybe…" Katherina replied. "There are many stories, this is the one my people get told from an early age, but maybe the keeper does know what's truth and what's not… and if he doesn't then the book of lunaeque should be able to tell…"

"And who's the keeper?" Aro asked.

"My brother… That's my family's job since we are supposed to be like royalty. Every generation has to kids, a boy and girl, in that order. The boy becomes the keeper; the girl becomes… me, for the lack of better words. That's how it has been for ages…"

"Yet it stopped with you…" Marcus, who had been quite the whole time, said.

"Yes, it stopped with me…" Katheina replied as something reflected in her eyes, but as soon as it came it was gone.

"Where is your brother?" Caius asked.

"I don't know… I haven't seen him a couple of years, and since he moves around often, it's hard to keep up," she smiled. "Why?... because you're thinking what I know you should be thinking… but sad knows, I can't find him".

"But Demetri can," Aro smiled. "He can go with you, along with Felix and Alec, just so you're safe".

"I don't need a whole squad… I'm fine on my own," Katherina complained.

"I'll tell you what…" Aro smiles as he walked towards her. "Once you find your brother, Demetri and Felix can return here, but Alec must stay with you, for two reasons. One, he has a very useful gift, and two, he needs—how do humans call it?—Oh yes, vacations". Aro added. "You stay there until you find something that can help us, and if there's nothing, then you two simply come back here".

"I… guess that seems like a good idea…" Katherina said, slowly.

"Very well, you leave tonight," Aro smiled, and nodded to the three guards he had mention. Alec came up to Katherina and grabbed her arm taking her out of the room.

"I have a bad feeling about this…" Katherina thought as she walked along with Alec, Demetri and Felix were in front of them.
