Lately i was suffering from lack of inspiration. Don't know, when it'll come back. Maybe new episode of TVD with Mr. Bewley brings it back...

Chapter 6

To open your heart to another person is very difficult. You're always afraid that your feelings are a non-reciprocal , that one person will crush your feelings and will laugh at you. Even when your heart isn't beating, it hurts to collect fragments when it's broken.

"I was looking for you" – Demetri said coming closer to Eva. She was motionless just looking into his dark eyes.

"How can I feel that way? He killed me, he crushed my life. Now I'm forever doomed only because of him. And still I crave his touch, he possesses me completely. But so what?! I'm nothing more than complication to him now. As I was just a meal early. I can't tell him what I feel. I'm even not sure that it's something real… Maybe my mind's just playing tricks on me. His eyes… so much in them ,yet so little to understand." No longer able to feel his intense gaze, which seemed to pull the soul out of Eva, she turned back to the fire.

Demetri came behind her just a breath away. In his head was also a battle of thoughts. "What is this all about? It's just not my nature. Girls never meant for me more than food or entertainment… I'm a lady's man… no one was in my mind more than once. Except Heidi. What did it come out to…? But with Eva everything is different. Never in my life I have wanted to be with a girl, to be beside her always… Why is it like that right now?" Demetri slowly bent to Eva's neck. He inhaled deeply and said:

"I miss your blue eyes"

"I miss my beating heart" - Eva said pulling away from him.

Demetri sighed heavily and put his hands on the shoulders of Eva, turning her to face him.

"You do realize, I did not want this for you, don't you?" – he whispered trying to catch Eva's eyes

"Yeah, right. But this doesn't make me more alive" - said Eva finally looking straight in his eyes. It was so hard to look at him. Eva thought he could see all her emotions, all her feeling for him.

"Most likely we won't get out alive from this castle. I guess you didn't tell them that you changed me" - she said, trying again to get more distance between them. But he didn't let her do that. His hands still held Eva firmly near him.

"All this situation is kind of absurd" - Demetri didn't want to think about it, not now, when Eva was so close to his touch. Changing the subject, he asked – "Why are your eyes so amber?"

"Eyes are definitely your thing… Eleazar said when you almost drank me up, there were very small amount of blood left that was it. That's why I can control now. There's more my blood in you than in me now" - coldly said Eva trying to throw his hands off once again. Moving away a little further, Eva started to ignore Demetri's eyes again. She looked everywhere but at him.

"Why am I even here. What does Aro want?"

Demetri unwillingly answered – "He considered you a threat to our existence, because newly converted cannot control themselves. He's going to find the creator, which makes our future is not that happy and joyful."

There was silence between them again, deafening and oppressive. Demetri could no longer think about them. Time was running out, so he decided to find out the truth about their feelings. "In any case, nothing can be worse than this"

"Did you feel me after your change?" – Eva wasn't ready to discuss it, but found herself nodding – "You completely captivated my mind. I've heard that sometimes, in rare cases between the creator and vampire forms bond. I want to know what you feel. I need it, Eva"

Eva couldn't say a word. This was not the fear, but a state of trance. Demetri enchanted her, bewitched her with his soft and deep voice, preventing any logical thought. As she remained silent, he came closer to her and took her face in his hands gently pulling her to him.

"I can be gentle, but I'm not. I can be nice, but I don't care about the feelings of others. But with you everything is different" – not breaking eye contact, he slowly moved forward.

Eva wasn't able to push him. His lips softly caressed hers. This was so intoxicating; Eva wanted this moment to last forever. Demetri took his hands away from Eva's face and not stopping kissing took her hands and led her to green couch. There was nothing in the world that was worth to stop for him. Their kiss became more passionate. His hands wandered over her body caressing every curve. In the room were heard only their heavy breathing and the crackling fire. Demetri broke away from Eva's lips and slowly began licking his way down to her neck. When he reached the place of his bite he gently kissed it, and then looked into her eyes.

"Eva, I want you to know…" – but he didn't have a chance to finish his words.

"Volturi arrived. They want to see you in 5 minutes" - Felix said knocking on the door.

Eva sadly continued look into Demetri's eyes –"We have to go" - she said adjusting her dress and leaving his arms. "It's fate."

And so again they were in this hall. "Anyway apparently this is my fate to end up here. Although I managed to escape, but it's really destined for me to die here" This is where Eva had last seen her friend. "How's Dean there ... I wonder whether he is still searching for us or just has given up and calm down. So much grief for good people"

Behind the large door was spacious hall with high steps leading to three impressive thrones. In these large and majestic chairs sat three no less majestic vampire. Eva counted about 10 guards, almost all she didn't know, except for Jane, Felix and Demetri, who continued to stand next to her, despite the fact that his place was obviously close to his friend Felix.

"So…" - said Aro. – "… this is the vampire who so thoughtlessly jeopardized our world. What is your name?"

Eva tried to stay calm, but this eerie man literally pierced her with his bloody evil eyes.

"My name is Eva" – answered she as calm as she could.

"Eva…The first one of human kind. Eva, we gathered here to decide your fate. You haven't committed a crime, but we can't let you go. Tell us the name of your creator…"

Eva decided not to tell about Demetri. "At worst, she will simply be executed. But this stupid situation finally will be resolved."

"I cannot tell you this, Aro." - confidently said Eva

"Who are you to speak in a such way to the Volturi" - Caius snapped venomously

"I won't tell you this. End of story" – said she looking straight into the eyes of blonde man.

The silence in the room was broken by laughter of Aro.

"We don't need your words, dear. We can torture you all day long, but I like you…" – said Aro coming down the steps from his throne – " It's only needed for me to touch you and everything will be over"

He gave the signal and the two guards, pushing Demetri aside, grabbed Eva to hold her in the same position. Worse than his disgusting laughter could only be cloying smile that lit up his face.

"I'll see everything that ever crossed your mind." – said Aro coming too close to Eva.

He raised his hand and gently touched her check. For a moment it was seemed that nothing was happening. But the pause was too long and Aro's eyes became like glass. Caius didn't like this. He stood up and walked closer to the quadruple.

"Aro, What's the matter?"

The old vampire took his hand away and stepped back. He looked in amazement at Eva. But still said nothing. Caius glanced on Aro, then on Eva.

"Aro, answer me."

"This is amazing" - said Aro he turning to Caius – "She has a gift, a very powerful gift."

Caius in disbelief turned to Eva again.

"Such a gift I had never met. Release her" - he said and returned to the throne - " Tell us about your gift, honey"

"You saw everything…" – shortly answered Eva

"What is she talking about, Aro?" –asked Caius confused

"This is like nothing on earth. I've seen everything, absolutely everything, my whole life, my transformation, and the memories that have long been lost for me. How does your gift work?"

"So am I not under the execution anymore?" – said Eva

"No, of course, not. I cannot destroy such work of art as you. Your gift" - impatiently said Aro – "speak"

"I cannot explain to you all for sure, but in a nutshell, I can turn any gift of vampire against him."

Aro's eyes lit up with wicked light.

"This is impossible" - said Caius.

"Who did help you to open it?"

"When I was changed, l knew nothing about abilities. Eleazar helped me."

"Our good old Eleazar ... How powerful is your gift?"

"I can't say."

"Can't or won't?" – asked Aro smiling

"Both" – answered Eva worrying about the turn in their conversation.

"I like your nature. So fresh and so naïve…" - Aro laughed – "We can easily check it. Jane, honey, help us."

A little girl came forward with an innocent smile. She looked straight into the Eva's eyes and almost in angelic voice said – "Pain."

Her shrill scream echoed in the room. She fell to the floor convulsing. Alec ran to her, angrily looking at Eva not using his powers.

"Wonderful, unique. Can you protect others?"

" I cannot say yet."

"Yet ... very interesting. Would you like to now join us? The Volturi would be glad to have such a unique guard."

"I ... no, I cannot join you, I can't carry on this way of life ... I won't kill people."

"What a shame, another vegetarian" - said Caius looking with interest at Eva.

"Eternity is a very long time, my dear, I will wait until you change your mind" - said Aro already considering the plan how to get her -" you can go now"

Eva couldn't believe her luck, she got alive and Demetri wasn't disclosed. But as soon as she was about to go out through the door Heidi appeared in front of her.

"I've warned you. Now you're going to pay for everything" – whispered she passing by. "Excuse me, Master Aro, but I have some information about the creator of Eva." – said Heidi going past Demetri.

"It doesn't matter anymore" - began talking Aro, but Caius interrupted him.

"Why so, brother? It would be interesting to know to whom we owe so precious Eva" – his eyes slid over her. There was something unpleasant and dirty in the way was examining Eva now. "Speak, Heidi"

Demetri was significantly tensed. Not only that Eve laid out quite unexpected information, Heidi was now trying to drive them both to the grave.

"Master Aro, among your guards crept a traitor. He has relationships with this vampire. I was afraid to admit it to you, but my duty prevailed over fear."

"Who are you talking about?" – Aro said grimly

"It's Demetri, my Lord."

All eyes in the room were fixed on the tracker.
