Chapter 7: Throne room Again?
I turned around to the voice to see Caius, Aro and Marcus. Caius of course was the one who had spoken. None of the other vampires were here so I assumed they had had the task of cleaning up the bloody mess in the throne room. Sammy started to whimper behind me. I reached my hand back and put it on his shoulder. Unfortunately I was trembling too but I didn't cry since it would not help us.
"Now Cathy just step aside and let us have the boy and this whole matter can be forgotten," Aro said to me as if I also was a kid. Which to him I probably was.
"I can't master Aro," I answered with a tremor in my voice. I figured the most likely way of us not getting killed was by being respectful. Though I don't know if that would even work in this situation.
Just then Felix, Demetri, Heidi, and Chelsea joined us. Chelsea had the power to make people loyal or not loyal to one another. This power did not work on me though. I always felt like singing that Alicia keys song Fallin' when I saw her. But now I'm off topic.
"Gosh, you smell like you are wearing something from that wolf girl," Felix said covering his nose.
"nope but I hugged Leah and Seth this morning," I said but I knew that wasn't what Felix was smelling and judging by Aro's face he knew too. Of course he probably recognized him from Seth and Leah's memories or maybe even Jane and Alec who probably have met Sammy before.
"Sammy what is your parents' names?" Aro asked sweetly.
"Um….Sa…mm and Emm…ii..ly,"Sammy said between gasps.
"Ah…that is what I thought. Let's continue this conversation elsewhere," Aro said waving his hand at Felix.
Great he had to choose Felix. I picked up Sammy in my arm and then Felix threw me on his back. He then carried me at vampire speed to the throne room. He wasn't as gentle as Demetri so I was pretty sure I would have bruises. He set us down in the middle of the room and went to stand in his normal position as was the rest of them. I set Sammy down on the floor and was glad to see he had stopped crying. I had a feeling he finally recognized them.
"So Sammy why don't you tell me about your family?" Aro asked as if this was just an everyday chit chat at the park.
"Okay….well there is my mom and dad. And then my Uncle Jacob and his new family he lives with. They are like you except they don't have the red scary eyes. Then there is my I guess you could say aunt sue and her husband Charlie who is related to Bella. And well a lot more," Sammy said rather quickly. I couldn't help but giggle a little. He was so much like Seth, a lot to say.
"Hmm…do you know who I am?" Aro asked.
"yes you are the vampire clan where Alec, Jane, Seth, and Leah live. You are less scary in your picture," Sammy said .
I stifled a giggle at how honest Sammy was. He reminded me of a little girl named Abbey that lived in my apartment building who was always telling me about her whole family secret stash of money. She was just lucky I wasn't someone who would steal it. Aro saw me smiling and gave me a warning look, I quickly changed my expression to a more serious one.
"Ah it seems we have company," Aro said.
The main doors opened revealing two people I had never seen before led by the secretary Gianni. Gianni curtsied to Aro, Marcus, and Caius and then quickly left the room. I wish I was her right now and I could just leave the room. The man wore no shirt. He was very muscular and had a tattoo on his one shoulder similar to Seth. He was looking at Aro with clear disgust on his face. The lady holding his hand was amazingly beautiful even with the scar that covered the one side of her face. Even though I had never seen these two before I knew who they were from Leah's descriptions.
"Mommy, Daddy," Sammy yelled running to his parents with a big smile on his face.
Sam and Emily's faces were immediately replaced with smiles as they each embraced their son. They slowly made their way to the middle of the room after Aro "asked" them to. They stood about 7 ft to the left of me. Sam had not shapeshifted yet probably due to his control he had gained being an alpha.
"Mommy, Daddy, that girl Cathy saved me. Aunt Jane and Leah, and Uncle Seth and Alec are right she is really nice," Sammy said pointing to me.
"Thanks Cathy. But what were you doing out of the hotel room Sam?" Emily scolded her son.
"I'm sorry mom. I saw a dog outside and it reminded me of Jake so I went outside to pet it. Then I ran into Heidi who seemed nice so and she asked me to go on the tour. And I told her no because my mommy and daddy would be worried but she said you were going to meet us later. So then I went with," Sammy finished bursting into tears. I almost cried myself.
"Shh..shh sweetie it's okay. Just never leave us again," Emily said hugging Sammy.
"Ah well I'm so happy your family has been reunited," Aro said in a cheerful tone.
"sure you are," I mumbled.
Shit you think I would of learned by now. But it is hard to get rid of a mumbling habit. Of course everyone heard besides Emily and Sammy. I quickly looked at the floor.
"We will be leaving now," Sam said.
I looked up to see the Uley's walking towards the door. Aro must have done his hand thing because Felix suddenly stood in front of the door. I saw Sam's hand clench.
"I am sorry I can't just let you leave not before I know why you are in volterra," Aro explained.
They Ulley's turned around to face Aro as did I. Felix appeared back in his spot with a smirk on his face that was a mirror image of Caius'. Looking at Sam's face I could see he was on the brink of shapeshifting. And if he did it would not be good for him and his family.
"We came early to the hotel we will be staying at next week excluding Seth and Leah of course," Sam explained in an even tone.
"And why would you be staying in this area?" Caius asked angrily. Sam just glared at him.
"I would suggest you answer my brother," the threat clear in that statement.
"Jake refused to be in a different country than Nessie. And we could not let him come here alone," Sam said a little bit calmer due to the fact Emily placed her hand on his shoulder. Jake is a shapeshifter who imprinted on Bella and Edward Cullen's daughter Nessie, a half vampire half human child.
"Ah that imprinting thing is quite marvelous. Well until I have my whole guard here to pass judgment on the situation you will have to stay here. As long as you and your family behave you will be able to stay as guests in Seth and Jane's room," Aro said with his hidden threat again.
Sam looked like he was about to say something but Emily spoke up instead, " Thank you so much Aro. We would be happy to stay here"
"Ah, I am so glad to hear that. Demetri please show them to their room while I speak to Cathy," Aro said smiling.
Demetri went in front of the Uley's and led them out the big doors. I was not too worried about their safety since Alec and Jane would be here when they pass judgment. They would never let Aro kill them. No right now I had to worry about my own safety.
