Fan-fiction: It was your Fault
Chapter 7
I didn't want to die yet.
Alice pulled away from me, and Felix appeared next to her, smirk still prominent on his lips. He waited for her to follow him out, while Edward had to be dragged out kicking and screaming.
Another tear trailed down my face as Alice turned one last time by the door to give me a small smile. I watched as the doors closed behind them, and even then kept staring after them.
What was to happen to me now? Will they snap my neck before they eat me? Would they make me suffer through the pain of transformation and then rip me part afterwards? I was shaking now.
I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I let them slowly turn me around. I was shaking hard now, enough so for that of human eyes, much less all the vampire eyes watching me now. Aro, had turned me fully around now.
He looked upon me with concern in his eyes. Why did he look concerned? Maybe he's trying to give me a false sense of security. Aro grabbed my other shoulder and tightened his hold, but not to the point where it hurt.
"Shh-sh, calm little one, we will not harm you." …What? "Its all right." He said repeating Alice's words. Now I was confused. He must have seen my expression because he smiled at me and chuckled lightly. " You thought we were going to harm you?"
"Why wouldn't you?" I asked with a shaky voice, that was just above a whisper. He didn't answer though. He just smiled at me then addressed another gaurd.
"Jane! Please take Miss Isabella up to the guest wing. I do not believe she would like to join us for lunch." Jane was instantly next to me.
"Yes master." She began leading me away. Aro smiled then nodded to me, and I stole one last glance at Caius, still so beautiful.
We passed through the large group of vampires to get to a door on the side walls. I didn't see it before due to all the vampires standing in front and around it. Every one of them was staring at me. Some had darker eyes then others.
As the door closed I heard the big double doors open again, and Aro exclaiming,
"Welcome, my friends." Then the screaming started. No matter how long I live I will never forget those screams. It was terrifying. What's going to happen to me?
LINE BREAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I've been sitting here for a while now. Maybe a few hours, or maybe it just feels like I've been waiting an eternity while iit'sts only been about a minute.
Jane had lead me to my room then went back to join the others for lunch. I sat on the bed and waited for something to happen. For someone to come. Anything to happen really.
But no. I just sat there. And sat there, and sat there some more. At one point, I don't really know when, I lied down. Staring up at the ceiling for a while I began to wait again. And wait, and wait. I think I fell asleep at one point because I was jolted awake by a noise.
The door was clicking closed. I jolted up right on the bed, and looked to see him. Caius, in all his beautiful glory. Would he be the one that killed me? I'd prefer it to anyone else if that is how it must be.
He froze when I sat up.
"I'm sorry I woke you." He said softly. I said nothing in return. I just brought my legs up to my chest and hid my face in my knees. I wanted to look at the king some more but I was just so scared.
I didn't want to show them I was scared though, but right now, around Caius, it didn't feel like it would matter.
I felt a dip in the bed and looked up to see a worried Caius. Was he really worried?
"Are you alright cara mia?" He asked. (Translations at the bottom.)
I just looked at him for a moment before slowly nodding. To be completely honest I had no idea if I was alright. What was I going to do now? I did what I came here to do. I saved Fuckward, woop-de-fukin-doo. But now I was stuck here.
Looking down I waited. Caius had to of come here for a reason. And I didn't want to provoke him, so instead of asking I just waited. When he didn't speak after a minute, I glanced up. He was staring at me. Why? Did he want something from me? Was he hungry? I shuddered at the latter thought.
Caius reached over slowly and froze for a second when I flinched back, but he continued on his path. His hand reached my back and he began to rub soothing circles into it. That felt good. I unconsciously leaned into his hand.
When I realized what I was doing my eyes widened and I looked up at him in confusion. He's allowing this? Why did he even rub my back in the first place? I'm so confused.
My mind was racing. I was almost overwhelmed with questions and confusion. Caius smiled slightly and rubbed my back more prominently. More confidently. Wait, was he nervous? What?
"It's alright Isabella, no one will hurt you." He told me. I shivered internally when my name rolled off of his tongue.
"Why?" I said abruptly. "Why isn't any one hurting me? Why am I here, and not down there where all the human corpses are laying? I don't understand what's going on!"
He looked at me with a nervous smile still on his lips.
"That cara mia, is because you are my amina gemella." He answered me. Huh?
"Huh?" I said voicing my exact thoughts. He chuckled lightly. It was low and musical. Beautiful.
"Because you… my dear, are my soul mate." He repeated in full english. My mind went blank for a second. "Cara mia?" he said worriedly when I gave no response to his previous announcement. My mind booted back up and began running a mile a minute.
"What? No… No. You can't be Edward is.. or was… supposed to be my mate." I told him, putting my head back on my knees. " But he just didn't want me, I have no mate." I clarified.
Caius growled lowly.
"He is no mate of yours. Mates can never hurt their mates physically, or emotionally. What that little prick did to you was not the actions of a mate." Caius explained.
"But he said he felt a pull to me. And that only happens when you meet your mate, right?" I asked trying to justify why Edward would call me a mate if I truly wasn't.
"Well yes and no." Caius said scooting closer to me. I allowed him, actually leaning into his side when he was right next to me. He smiled at me, with beaming blood red eyes. His eyes were so beautiful, so full of emotion and deep with knowledge of millennium of experience. "You were his La tun cantante correct?" He asked me throwing more Italian at me?
"His what?" I asked dumfounded. I can barely understand old english for the books I have to read in class, forget a whole new language. Especially one as sexy as Italian, I thought after a second still looking into Caius's eyes. Jeez where were these thoughts coming from?
"His La tun cantante. It means his 'singer'. We use that term in vampire mythology to say that their blood sings to them. It pulls them in like a drug. One made specifically for that person. The prick probably thought that the La tun cantante pull was the mating pull. I'm surprised, although quite pleased that you are still alive."
"Oh." I said. " Yes I believe that he told me that my blood calls to him more then others at some point in time." I also remembered him telling me something quite similar to his personal drug once. His personal brand of heroine I think. Then he started spouting shit about lions falling in love with lambs. Liar.
"Then there you have it. I am your mate Isabella." he said quietly pulling me closer to him.
"How do you know for sure?" I asked him pulling away slightly. Truthfully I was scared. I was hurt once. I didn't want to be hurt again. Not like that.
He must have seen the fear in my eyes because his eyes widened slightly from the sad ones they were looking at me before because I pulled away, and he pulled me into a large comforting hug that completely engulfed me. Shows our size difference.
"Marcus, one of the other kings," Caius started, " has the ability to see relationships. He told me that Edwards held very little love in his relationship to you, but instead was that filled of a la tun cantante. He also informed me that the reason he and Aro did not kill you was because you were my mate.'
'I didn't take it to well at first." he admitted. "I was angry. Angry at Marcus for suggesting that I was mated to a mere human. I was angry at Aro for believing and siding with him. But most of all I was angry at you. I felt the pull, although I tried to refuse it, I knew it was true. I wanted nothing more to come to you. To make sure you were healthy and alright. But at the same time I wanted you to go away, like a silly dream some how." He paused for a second glancing at me for my reaction.
It hurt, even though just slightly, it felt like another rejection for him to wish I was just a silly dream. He wrapped his arms around me.
"I regretted the thought as soon as the thought came to my mind." He whispered into my ear, bending down to comptensate for my smaller form. "Here you were my mate, after all these years of being alone, and I was wishing you away? You may be a human, but, if you will have me, you are my human."
The thought of being loved again almost brought tears to my eyes. I wanted it so desperately I was willing to do almost anything to get it again. Yet, I was being held back, by the fears implanted in me by another.
Then I thought, why should I let Fuckward control my life? He left me for someone else. Yes I thought at one point that it was because I wasn't good enough for him, but no. If Edward was willing to take my love, a love that I had given so unconditionally, and loyally, then just throw it away like it was nothing, then that was his lose.
It was time to move on.
Smiling I looked up to Caius and nodded.
"I will have you" i said. Caius's smile could rival that of a child in a land of candy. "On two conditions."
"Anything." Caius responded immediately.
"One, we take it slow. I've been hurt before Caius. I'm not completely ready to fall in love all over again." he simply smiled at me and nodded both in approval and for me to continue. "Two, if what you say is true about us being mates, I'm willing to try, but I never want to feel like how I did before again. It was painful, and just a completely horrible experience. So if what you say is true, and I'm willing to believe it because I feel a pull as well, I want you to promise me something."
"Anything." he whispered.
"I want you to promise me that you'll never leave me like that. Never alone and hurt like how I was before." I said equally as quiet as his voice.
"I promise you, mia amore, I will never allow that to happen to you." He told me kissing the top of my head, holding me tightly to him. "Sei la mia amina gemella, non potrò mai smettere d'armati."
I smiled at him. Although i have no idea what he said, it comforted me to no end. I wrapped my arms around his waist and closed my eyes. A single tear of joy rolled down my face.
I'm going to be loved again.
