Chapter 4 ... Tell Me
Okay, I need to apologise, I'm on holiday right now and never informed any of you, I'm so sorry, so I'm updating in my holiday cottage right now. =D
Luna P.O.V
I retained my vice like grip on Erik's arm as he sat down on the armchair, me in his lap.
I snuggled closer to his chest. I don't like thing serious, and I gathered that this situation was most defiantly serious.
Slowly, I sucked in a breath, looking into my mother's dead looking eyes. Joshua sat in front of the armchair, while Alexander leaned against the doorframe. No doubt for an easy escape if things get to serious. Alexander, like me found it hard to have serious conversations, unless we were having a screaming match with the other. Though sometimes it happened merely over him putting the empty orange juice carton back in the fridge.
Erik leant forward, his lips on the back of my neck in a comforting way.
"Calm" he ordered.
I calmed straight away, whether because of Erik's words or that mu uncle Jasper was in the same room.
Turning back to look at his deep crimson eyes, I smiled a little. He could see through my smile, that I knew so he leant over to kiss my forehead.
"thank you" I whispered.
He nodded, pulling my back flush against his chest again.
Out the corner of my eyes, I saw Edward smirk and share a meaning look with Erik. Unsurprising Erik handled it by flipping him the bird, Edward chuckled and most surprisingly flipped him it back.
I stared open mouthed at Edward, who laughed.
Did Edward, thee flipping chivalrous Edward Anthony Masen Cullen actually just flip the bird?
Haha. My uncles are awesome.
Edward laughed lightly, shaking his head before his face turned sombre, gazing at my mother.
I also turned my eyes to look at her. For a vampire she looked unusually weak. He shoulders hunched, her topaz eyes bland, a permanent pained expression etched on her face.
Jasper winced obviously feeling her pain.
"I'm so sorry" she whispered, I looked at her, confusion and suspicion bubbling maliciously in me.
"I guess I should have told you when you were little" she sighed. "You asked enough times" she looked my way, obviously the statement was set towards me.
"when I was human, my life was boring" she started "we had boring, monotonous family holidays, that year it was Italy.
"It was beautiful, so beautiful I had the urge to investigate. I of course made the life changing decision to investigate in the early hours in the morning, when no one was around.
"There was a group of people. Hundreds, lead by a beautiful blonde with purple eyes. She invited me along on a tour.
"It didn't feel right, I felt danger but for some reason I trusted the woman. She led us to the door, to the Volturi"
Alex, Josh and I gave out a collective gasp. I really didn't like where this story was going. Nothing good ever came of the Volturi.
"I remember the blood, screams and a little girls cry, it's hazy. I remember running to her, cornering her off, away from the vampires. I remember a beautiful, god like vampire had a grip around my neck, his lips at my throat.
"Then I remember Aro stopping him, apparently I intrigues him, by saving an unknown child. I gave up my humanity in return for her safety. I was told that within a year, I would become a vampire.
"I cried, screamed, tried to escape. Each time stopped by that godly vampire.
"We had sworn our hatred to each other, I because he was a vicious human draining vampire who had stopped my every attempt of running away." She choked out the last two words.
I realised at this point I was finally getting what I wanted. To be told how I became to be.
"But our hatred became heated, dying down, fondness growing in its place. Love growing in its place.
"We made love one night, he talked about our future. We made love the next day.
"I fell pregnant, they wanted to take my babies away from me. Wanted to terminate you three because chances were I would die in childbirth. I wouldn't make it through.
"Tears, arguments later I found myself realising it was either my soul mate or my unborn children. And I chose you, I ran as fast as I could, I made it into the light where they could not step unnoticed.
"He followed. I remember exactly, his pleads for me not to leave, his proclamation of our love and me turning my back and walking away"
She finished in sobs, I ran to her, wrapping her in my arms along with Josh. Alex watched on with saddened but angry eyes.
I touched my cheek, feeling the unfamiliar wetness drown out from my eyes.
I held onto my mother as she cried. She sat in Josh's lap with I reaching forward into their embrace.
I could fix this, make it better. I could find my father. No doubt he would also be a mess, I could fix him, fix my mother. I could make it better.
Mum pulled back, sighing and kissing our cheeks.
Reaching into her pocket she pulled something out. A gold amulet with a large ruby centreplate.
I gasped at its beauty, not fully comprehending what she was doing as she clasped it around my neck.
I shook my head, but she nodded. A way of telling me to 'shut the hell up and accept it', I just gave her a simple nod back and a kiss to her cheek.
"He gave it to me, it hurts to much to wear it" she croaked in her usual bell like voice. I kissed and hugged her once more, it was a silent goodbye in the form of actions.
Standing up, I excused myself. Edward nodded, knowing what I was doing. I ran outside, it was better to leave when they least expected it. Better to leave now.
I made it to the deepest part of the forest before I was pressed up against a tree.
"Where the fuck do you think you are going" Erik spat.
I turned my head away, refusing to look at him. He knew, he didn't need me to tell him, he already knew what I was doing because he knew me.
"Volterra, are you fucking insane!" he yelled.
I pulled back, I've never seen him this angry before. The angriest I've seen him is whenever Alex would yell at me, if Erik was there, Alex always got a beating for shouting at me.
"Fucking talk to me!"
I looked him dead in the eye, glaring at him.
"Make me" I challenged.
He growled, pushing me harder against the tree his body coming flush against mine.
That's when I felt it, a hardness against my lower stomach.
I looked down wide eyed to see the tent in Erik's pants, pressed against me, before returning to his gaze.
He smirked "See something you like" he growled softly.
I felt the pooling of liquid in my pants. Erik obviously did to the way he breathed in deeply and dropped to his knees...
HAHAH! Cliffe. Warning Nxt Chapter will be a lemon courtesy of my friend Kayla. Who is currently on Holiday with me. She always comes, she is basically family.
