Chapter 3
Cass stared at the wall, as the elevator took them down. If she was still human, she would no doubt panic, but she remained composed. There was an uncomfortable silence in the air, in which Cass tried to break the ice. Maybe what she said was completely stupid like nice weather we're having. Yeah, that would be awkward and mortifying coming from her part.
The elevator let out a small ding signalling that they arrived at the destination which Cass knew would most likely be underground due to obvious reason, but she couldn't help the increasing worry that lied inside her stomach, fluttering bunch of butterflies seemed to make her even more nervous.
Awkward, Cass thought to herself. She had nothing to say whatever, and besides she had no idea why on earth would she come here of all places. She couldn't go somewhere else, and besides there were other covens around the world. maybe one in Scotland so she could finish her education there. Damn you, Dumbledore.
Finally after a long periods of time, the elevator doors opened. She scanned the room to see grey walls, and no speck of dust anywhere. Her black converse were heard against the marble floor, but Cass didn't care. Alec didn't bother looking at her and only paused for a brief second when he opened the doors for them. Inside the Throne Room was three most handsome men she ever seen, with a few guards standing in the shadows, probably to protect them.
"Whom might you be?" The raven-haired one inquired. His voice was low and composed, and held a bit of curiosity in it.
"I'm Cassiopeia," introduced Cass. Her voice held a tiny bit of nervousness in it, but otherwise calm at least. She didn't want to make a fool out herself by stuttering or anything. "I came from Britain, and didn't really had a choice in coming here." Oh yeah, tell a complete a stranger about why you came here good idea, idiot.
"Than why did you come here!" interjected the blonde one. His milky-red eyes stared at hers, not bothering to look away.
"Came yourself, Caius. Don't you understand, brother?" said the raven-haired one directed to what she assumed would be his 'brother'.
"I don't have time for your mind games, Aro!"
"Besides she's a magical, and our mate."
"I'm sorry what?" asked Cass, in a squeaky tone. "I came here to escape to Britain, and now I'm here."
…
Cass looked at herself in the mirror. Pale skin that erase all the scars back when she was suffering from depression was gone. She should have rejoiced that they were gone so that she didn't look at the ugly ass scars on her wrists any longer, but she missed them. They were apart of her that shown her of how weak she truly was, and another battle she loss. There was only a single scar on the right side of her throat where vampire teeth connected to hers, when she changed. A haunting reminder of that she was no longer human, now simply a freak.
It was everything she almost fantasized about. It was almost ridiculous of being a vampire, when she only read fantasy, but they were simply not myths besides a few things, since vampires did sparkle in the sun. She should have been happy, rejoicing even. But then why did she felt like she was leaving something important behind. Something she hadn't yet said goodbye to.
The world never treated her properly. She was alone all her life, and now she was surrounded by her own kind, but they were like millennials older than she was. Cass was simply seventeen years old, frozen in time. No longer would she wish death was around the corner, but now death was simply farther away than she could imagine.
A soft knock was heard on the white door which brought her out of her thoughts. At least the Volturi respected her privacy. "Amore mio?" said Aro. Cass brought her attention to the door, if she was still alive than perhaps her heart would've skipped a beat, but she was no longer alive. Cass didn't really know that much italian words, but she assumed it was probably romantic.
"Yes?"
"May we come in?"
"I guess."
The door opened revealing the three kings. She honestly hadn't expected Caius to even be there, as the last time she'd seen him was when he was angry, and Felix was escorting her to her room.
"How much do you know about the supernatural?"
It's like such a chore in writing this, so I think I may have to wrap it up in chapters. It's like so stressful, and after this will be one step in completing my summer goal which is finish this, finish Double Trouble and Revenge
