Okay! :D I've got some great reviews! And thank you so much!! :D I'd just want to say sorry for not updating heaps, I had a Spanish exam and have been studying heaps, grr to Spanish *glare* haha so here is the next chapter!
MPOV (Mari)
"Daddy" I whined walking into his study "Yes hunny?" he asked,
"You scared Gabriel" I said plopping down in a chair, he chuckled "Well, then mission accomplished," he grinned, "You're laughing, I'm not" I said and pouted, "aw, sweetie. I'm sorry." He said and came over and hugged me, I hugged him back.
"I'm going to go practice in the yard" I said standing up, "Shouldn't you sleep" he said, and I shrugged "Not tired" I said skipping out, I was different from my siblings, I don't need much sleep. I skipped into the court yard and threw my arm up making a vine come up I threw it across the room and I felt it being pushed back, I looked and saw my mother she grinned at me and threw my own vine back at me, I fell backwards and I used both my arms to throw branches and vines at her, she quickly dodged my attack but tripped due to another smaller vine tripping her, I quickly tied her down and ran over to her holding her down, "I win!" I declared she laughed and I let her up.
"You're getting better," she smiled at me, I smiled back "I know" I laughed, "I hear you went on a date?" she raised an eyebrow, I groaned "Don't go all protective parent on me, Daddy already did that" I said,
She laughed "Oh I know, I'm happy for you." She grinned and I smiled back "Good, because even if you didn't approve you couldn't stop me" I announced and she hugged me "That's my girl."
CPOV (Cass) (( Next day))
I sighed happily as Alec slowly ran a brush through my hair, we were in my room just hanging out, "I love you" Alec whispered in my ear, I grinned and turned to kiss him on the cheek, "I love you too" I smiled. He slowly put my hair back up in a high pony tail and I leaned back against him, I remembered the first time he told me he loved me,
Flashback!
My parents had just gone on their honey moon and I was sitting in my father's throne utterly bored, "What to do?" I muttered to myself, "You could . . . go help look after your siblings or . . . clean" My ever so helpful uncle Marcus suggested, I rolled my eyes "I'd rather do something that would be fun, not add to my boredom" I said.
"Sorry, just trying to help" he defended, and I rolled my eyes. "Cass!" I heard Alec calling I grinned and shot up to meet him, "There you are" He said when I met him the hallway, he hugged me and I happily hugged him back "Take a walk with me" he said taking my hand, we walked to the entrance and walked around to the back of the castle where it meets the forest, we sat down on the grass and the sun made an appearance Alec shone brightly like thousands of diamonds. I smiled at him and he smiled back, he moved closer and put his arms around my waist, I leaned into him and I heard him say something to soft for me to hear. "Sorry what did you say?" I asked,
"I love you" he whispered in my ear, I turned to look at him; I stared at him for a few seconds. Then I kissed him passionately when I pulled back I rested my forehead on his "I love you too" I whispered.
I was pulled from my memories when Alec spoke "What are you thinking about?" he asked,
"I was thinking about when you first told me you love me" I said wistfully,
"And I still love you just as much" he declared, I grinned and turned around, and faced him "And I love you" I said pecking him on the lips, I was about to pull away when he put his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me closer and kissed me feverishly, I kissed back but I soon had to pull back to breath. "You are my life" he whispered, we laid down on the bed with my head on his chest and we intertwined our fingers, "And you are mine,"
JPOV (Juliano)
I stared at my phone, I wanted to call her. Or should I wait? I don't know, if I call now would it seem needy? I really want to call her Then call her and stop repeating yourself mother's voice spoke up in my mind, You know, that gets annoying, I like my privacy! I said back Okay, sheesh, just call the girl! She spoke back before cutting it off. I quickly picked up the phone found her number and called, "Hello?" she answered,
"Uh . . . Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to . . . I don't know hang out or something? If you don't want to that's fine" I said quickly,
"Really?" she asked in disbelief, "I mean, sure I'd love to"
"Great, I'll pick you up?"
"Sure, see you soon"
"Bye" we hung up then, I quickly drove to her place, ignoring the speed limit. I jumped out of the car and I was halfway up the path when she came out the door, smiling brightly at me. I grinned and opened the door, "Where do you wanna go?" I asked
"Could we just hang out at your place?" she said,
"Sure thing" I grinned at her "Watch the road!" she freaked out I quickly turned back and watched the road, little did she know I didn't really need to. "Sorry" I said and suppressed the smirk that was threatening to appear on my face.
I pulled up and opened her door, "I still can't believe you live in a castle" she said astonished,
I laughed nervously, "A big family needs a big house" I said opening the door,
"I wouldn't call this a house" she said as I hung her coat, "It's most defiantly a castle" I let the subject drop and we started to walk to my room until I was bombarded by Uncle Felix, he jumped behind me "Help" he said "Uncle Felix," I started of calmly "What the hell?!" I said throwing my hands up in the air, "She's after me" he said "Who?" I asked looking at Rachel who was looking at us both with amusement, curiosity, and confusion sparkling in her eyes. "Jane" he said "Come on Uncle Felix I know how you feel about her" I jibbed,
He huffed "She's not happy" he said "If Janes not happy with you then you probably did something to piss her off, so it's you own fault!" I concluded, "You're meant to be on my side!" he said putting his hands on his hips; it made him look a tad gay. I think Rachel thought the same thing because she giggled. "Why would I be on your side?" I asked, "I was teasing Alec about his relationship with Cass," he said, "And you know how protective Jane is of her brother . . . and she heard . . ." he trailed off.
"If you teased Alec, you should be running from Cass too" I pointed out, his eyes went wide at this, "Shit! Man you have to help me!" as he said this I heard a crash and Jane and Cass running through the halls, "Come on Felix! We won't hurt!" Cass called out in a sickly sweet voice, "Too much" Jane growled, they still weren't in sight and I hoped they'd notice there was a human in the room, one that didn't know about the vampire world.
"Come on Rachel" I said and grabbed her hand in a attempt to lead her away, we were almost at the end of the hall when Cass and Jane ran past us, knocking us both down in the process, they didn't notice, Cass was zoned in of avenging her mate, and Jane was too-for her brother. "Hey!" I complained, "Are you okay?" I asked softly, "I think I sprained my wrist," she said I slowly helped her up "How did they move so fast?" she asked suddenly, I was pulling my brain for a plausible lie, sprinters? No. You were seeing things? No. Gah! Nothing was working, she stook staring at me waiting for an answer,
Then, something happened –and it didn't help me at all- Felix skidded into view and Jane right after him, she picked him up by the collar- something that shouldn't be possible for someone her size. I put my hand over my eyes and shook my head slowly, brilliant, just brilliant. "Care to explain?" Rachel asked in a small voice, I nodded "Hold on a tic" I said smiling sweetly at her,
I turned to my sister and my aunt and uncle, "What the hell guys!?" I said and they flinched at my voice, I don't get angry easily, but I was pissed now, "It's not that hard to act human for a few seconds!? You knew she was here! Yet you didn't try! What the hell?!" I asked again, "Sorry" they all muttered, I took a deep breath, and turned back to Rachel, I could use my gift and make her forget everything, but that'd need constant concentration. She looked a bit startled at my outburst and I held out my hand in a friendly – or so I hoped- gesture, one she could easily refuse, she took my hand- much to my delight- and I led her to my room. We sat down on the chairs, one that was sitting in the corner and one from my desk.
"What did you mean 'act human'" she asked and ran her hands through her red hair, confusion creased her forehead, "I didn't want to tell you anything about this until we got to know each other better" I admitted, she didn't respond so I continued, "Well, my family and I are different" I looked at her reaction, so far so good, "If fact we aren't related at all, well other then my mother and father, and my siblings,"
She nodded and I continued "But my Uncles, Aunts, none are related to me."
"You skimming around the main point" she said, "Get to the point" She looking at me with imploring eyes and I sighed, "Well . . . . We're vampires," I said quietly but I knew she heard, "vampires?" she asked sceptical, "Yes, well my siblings and I are half vampire half human, my mother was human when she had us,"
"So . . . vampire?" she said I didn't say anything for a while, letting everything sink in, "So what does that entitle?" she asked eagerly, "Well . . . I don't know where to start" I said scratching the back of my neck "start with sunlight, do you really burn?" her eyes sparkled with curiosity. I laughed "No, I do nothing in the sun, nor do my siblings, but vampires well they sparkle in the sun,"
"Sparkle?" she said, raising an eye brow, "Yup like millions of diamonds" I clarified, she erupted into a fit of giggles at this information, "What about you're uh . . . diet" I flinched, "Well, I had a bad reaction to blood when I was born, so I eat human food, my sister Cass she can eat human food but she survives mainly on blood, Mari doesn't eat food but won't touch a drop of human blood, she drinks from animals. The rest of my family . . . they drink from humans" I said the last bit slowly, I watched her face waiting for the terror that should have appeared- it never did.
"I guess that makes sense, you are vampires" she said rationally, "Anything else I should know about vampires?" she asked, I ignored her question for a moment and asked "Why aren't you running and screaming, I mean any normal human would" I ask and she laughed "I guess I'm not normal" she said, "Sorry I didn't mean it like that" I said, "Its fine, it's just you're a really nice guy, and just because you are a vampire or half a vampire doesn't change that, and your family seems very nice" she said,
I smiled, "So is there anything I should know?" she asked, "Yes," I started "some vampires have gifts, like my father can read minds with physical contact, and Cass can move things with her mind." I said, "Sorry to interrupt but . . . what happened to you mother? The scars . . ." she trailed off, I flinched "That happened when she first came here, as a human. She lost grip while on Felix's back while running around the castle and went head on into the fountain," I said, "Oh" was her only response, "What about you?" she asked changing the subject "Do you have a gift?"
"Yes, I can make people believe whatever I want them to believe" I said, "Oh, wow" she said "Yeah,"
"What morphing? Can all vampires morph like into a bat?" she asked and I laughed a bit "No, and before you ask we don't sleep in coffins, vampires don't sleep at all, but my human side of me makes me need sleep so . . ." I trailed off and she nodded, "Although my mother can transform into a wolf, see her gift is that of a 'holly wood vampire'" I said using air quotes "She can levitate, and read minds and put her thoughts into someone else's mind, and call wolves,"
"Oh the wolves in the court yard" she remembered and I nodded.
"Also, there's a sort of royal family of Vampires, vampire rulers if you will" I said "What do they do?" she asked, "Restore law and order. Make sure the rules are obeyed,"
"What are the rules?" she asked
"There's really only one but it extends too many others. Keep the secret" I said, her eyes went wide a little "But wouldn't telling me break the rule?" she asked, "Well you see, we are the royal family my name is Juliano Charlie Volturi, prince of vampires" I said standing up and bowing slightly, I looked at her smirking, "okay, wasn't expecting that" she admitted, and I laughed.
"So you dad is the king?" she asked confused, "Yes, one of the three kings, along with my uncles Marcus and Caius" I said, "What about your Uncles and Aunts?"
"Mainly part of the guard, the fear Volturi guard" I laughed sarcastically, "Really we are just one big family, but we can't let other vampires see that, they wouldn't fear us otherwise" I said. "How's your wrist?" I asked, "Hurts a bit" she said, and I went to the first aid kit mother put in all our rooms, I got out a bandage and held her hand softly, I smiled up at her before I started to bandage up her wrist, "It's probably just a sprain so rest it, Kay?" I said and smiled she nodded and I kissed her hand softly before standing up from my crouched position in front of her.
Her stomach rumbled and I laughed lightly "Come on I'm hungry too, let's go get some food" I said taking her good hand and leading her to the kitchen, Cass danced around the corner, "Sooooooo little bro, vamps out of the bag" she said grinning at me I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, no thanks to you" I said,
"Yeah, any idea where Jane and I could hide Felix's arm" my eyes went wide at her statement "Wait let me get this straight, you stole Felix's arm because he cracked some joke about you and Alec?" I asked, "Not just any joke! I joke about our non-existent sex life!" she defended, "And that's a reason to steal his arm?" I asked sarcastically, "Yup" she chimed, "remind me to never get on your bad side" I said, "But I don't know, so . . . bye" I said and slipped past her.
"Little warning" I whispered to Rachel "Now that they know that you know, they will start to act a lot less human" I said, and she giggled, we entered the kitchen, and I made some sandwiches, we were eating in comfortable silence until father burst in, "you told her?" he asked grinning, "Yes I did father" I responded,
"Brilliant! Oh that's lovely!" he rejoiced, I stage whispered to Rachel "And here we have an excellent example of a overly excitable vampire who must have been hyped up on caffeine when he was turned" I said in a commentators voice she laughed and father shook his head in disapproval "You need to brush up on your history, son. Coffee wasn't around when I was human. Have fun, see you later" he said and danced out.
"That begs the question, immortality?" she asked and I nodded, "I'm immortal" I confirmed, "How old is your father?"
"he's one of the oldest vamps, well over a million years old" I said and her eyes went wide, "How old are you" she asked and I almost laughed, "Well you see my mother was only turned 2 years ago," I said and she seemed to be relieved by this fact, "But I'm only about 7 years old" I said as if were nothing, she almost choked on her food "Seven!" she gasped, I quickly handed her some water, "Yeah half vamps grow super quickly, Cass was fully grown in about 2 years" I said, "I feel so . . ." she trailed off and hurt stabbed at my heart, why? I don't know. "If you don't want to see each other anymore I'd understand" I said, "No!" she said quickly "I was just shocked that's all, I defiantly what to keep seeing you" she said and held my hand from across the small table I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"So . . . Prince of vampires eh?" she said in a teasing tone I groaned and she laughed "So would I be able to see you formal entire?" she asked, "Do you have a crown? Or is that to cliché?" she continued, I sighed, and chuckled "I black cloak, is what you'd call formal entire" I said, "Oh is that all?" she asked in a disappointed tone, I laughed "Yeah, trust me when you have a room full of them its kinda intimidating" I said, she nodded.
"You done?" I asked pointing to her plate she nodded so I took her plate and mine and dumped them in the sink, "shall we go?" I asked and offered my arm, she laughed, stood up and looped her arm through mine and we started to walk around the castle aimlessly, at least she didn't run off screaming.
CPOV (Cass)
I grinned at Jane as she patted down the dirt; we were in the middle of nowhere, burring Felix's arm. That'd teach him to make fun of me.
