Aurica's POV (Still)

We were less than five minutes from home so I gently shook Dustin awake. He smiled and said "Hey Aurica, what's up are we there?" "No not yet, but we will be in about four minutes now." He sat up the seat and grinned at me. "Well I am just hoping that, umm…Andrei doesn't attack me before you have a chance to explain." I chuckled softly "Don't worry he wont." Then I seen our home, Our large mansion."

"We're home Dustin." He smiled and if I had a heartbeat it would have stuttered. "Are you ready?" I questioned. He audibly gulped and then said "As ready as one can be." I smiled and got out of the car as did he. He walked over to me and I grabbed his hand and we walked up to the door. I pushed it open and walked in, hand in hand, with Dustin. "Everyone, I am home, stay in the living room I am coming." I heard a chorus of 'okays' Dustin just looked around awed. I smiled and lead him to the living room. I made him stand around the corner. The television was on loud so that would block out Dustin's heartbeat. I walked in and smiled at everyone "Hey everyone how are you all?" "We're all good Aurica so what is this surprise you told Ciprian of?" Matei asked being impatient. I smiled mischievously "I found something." Everyone looked quizzically at me the said "Okay, we'll bite, what did you find." I giggled which was Dustin's signal he rounded the corner and stood next to me. "My mate." The girls all smiled brightly and ran up and hugged me. The guys eyes looked about to fall out of their heads and jaws had hit the floor. Andrei then exclaimed "That's great Aurica but…he's human…" Anca smacked him and whispered 'she could change that dummy' Dustin smiled and said "Hello. You all must me Andrei, Anca, Ciprian, Ioana, Matei, Corina, Ion and Dominica." They nodded as each of their names were said.

Then Ciprian being so observant noticed something "Hello boy, how can you be comfortable in a house full of vampires? Not scared at all?" He smiled and answered "I have been a slave for the Volturi for over two years but I am not scared, I never have been scared I truly have no idea what it is like, that's the reason they kept me for so long." Ciprian looked at him sceptically. "No one has never been scared boy." Dustin smirked at his disbelief "Ciprian, my name is Dustin, and truthfully even if the lot of you were starving and I was bleeding I wouldn't be scared, Even if I was staring death in the face I could smile, fear is non-existent to me." Ciprian smiled "That is very interesting, hmm. I think I just realized something…" I sighed "Please don't be cryptic Ciprian, what is it?" "I was just thinking perhaps that trait will become a gift when he is turned." Dustin looked quizzically "You said 'when' but it is still an 'if' I honestly would love to be turned, that would mean an eternity with Aurica but it is up to her if she wants me around for that long." Ioana chimed in "He isn't bluffing he is completely dedicated to Aurica, I can tell he would die before letting someone hurt her." Everyone looked baffled at Ioana even me. Dustin had an embarrassed smile.

I looked at him joyously "Dustin, do you truly mean that? You would sacrifice your humanity for me?" He smiled a tender smile and I could tell he was showing his love for me through his eyes "Of course Aurica, you said my human emotions aren't as strong as yours but honestly I don't think I could ever have any more love for you." All the girls looked in awe of Dustin's confession, the guys looked at him with acceptance. Then Matei boomed in "Well, we're all paired up now." He walked over and lightly for us clapped Dustin on the shoulder. "Hey, Dustin, I am going to say this now, if you hurt her, I will kill you." Dustin looked at him calmly and said "Nice attempt on the intimidation but I am sure you can say honestly Is it possible to ever hurt your mate?" Matei looked cockily at Dustin "Nice one kid." Dustin just shrugged "Just trying to prove a point." Anca being the hyper-active person she is jumped up and hugged Dustin tight "Ouch, hey…Anca…loosen up please…" He said gasping. "Oops. Sorry Dustin." He shrugged "It's fine" Anca looked at me "When are you going to change him" she said below his range of hearing "Hey don't leave me out of the conversation" Dustin said jokingly. Anca giggled and said "Your interesting kid" Dustin shook his head "Jeez this is going to get annoying but I guess compared to all of you I am just a kid." Everyone laughed at that even shy Corina. "So as I was saying when are you going to change him?" Anca asked me again Dustin grinned apparently wanting to hear the answer as eagerly as everyone else. "I will change him when he wants." Dustin smirked and leaned in and spoke so quite he couldn't hear himself and only I could hear him "what if I said I wanted right now." I giggled and nipped his ear playfully. Dustin stood back up. "I will wait a little while to get to know you all better, and for you to get to know me. Maybe you wouldn't want me in your coven." Everyone nodded understandingly. Then Anca came up with an idea "How about we each as our pairs meet with Dustin for a couple hours today? Then we can ask about him and he can find out about us." Dustin nodded "Sounds good to me."

Dustin's POV

I spent the day speaking with everyone and was completely fascinated. Matei is the only one under four hundred years old. Ciprian and Ioana are both nearly two-thousand. I found out their stories before being changed and I learned how they are much closer on an emotional level than the Volturi were. They are almost a family not a coven, with Ciprian as the Father-figure and Matei is a big teddy bear unless you hurt his family then you better run. Everyone kept calling me things like 'boy' and 'child' and 'kid' it is getting really annoying but they are all older than my like great-great-great-grandfather. So I will just have to endure it. I look to the clock and see its 11:23, I yawn and said "Well, the human here needs sleep so can someone lead me to somewhere where I can do just that?" They all chuckled loudly and then Matei said "Sure, kid, I'll show you, I wanted to ask you something in private anyway."

Matei led me to an awesome room, I could only guess that the bed cost a fortune. "So what'd you want to ask me Mat?" I learned earlier he prefers Mat not Matei. "I just actually wanted to know if you are serious about Aurica and not going to hurt her, Of course I don't mean physically but emotionally." I smiled at Mat "Hey Mat, This is putting it lightly but I don't know how to explain it. When I seen her in Volterra something in me just…clicked, I instantly fell head over heels in love with her and that only strengthens every second. Mat believe me when I said I will stick around as long as she wants me. If that is an eternity then that would be an eternity of heaven." Mat smiled "That's deep man." I chuckled. Just then the door flew open and Aurica grabbed me in a tight hug. I felt a rib compress and then there was a crack. Mat and Aurica jumped and she released me instantly. I look at my bottom right rib "Fuck!!! That hurt!" "CIPRIAN!" Aurica called louder than necessary. "Oh my, what happened." Mat was still in shock and shook his head "Aurica hugged him…a bit to tight." Ciprian chuckled slightly "Well lets tape that up Dustin" I grimaced "Damn, I hate taping ribs…" I trailed off. Aurica looked at me with a deep frown "You have had it done before Dustin?" She asked sadly. I sighed "I put my life with the Volturi very nicely this is probably my tenth or so rib." I shrugged like it was nothing "I am so sorry Dustin!" She bellowed. "Sorry for what?" I question bewildered. "What you had to go through… and cracking your rib…" I smiled "It's fine, I am quite soft and weak compared to you but as I am guessing since you heard mine and Mat's talk, that might change as long as you want me, and the others don't mind me being a part of the coven." she gave me a smile then came up to me and was about to hug me when she remembered my rib, I pulled her by her waist and kissed her icy lips softly feeling another bolt of euphoric bliss and happiness shoot through me. "I love you Aurica." I then laid down and Ciprian got to work on my rib.

I KNOW I KNOW "What took me so long" I am so sorry!!!! I actually thought I had updated but I guess it didn't post so here it is.
