Bella POV

I woke up to the bright light shining into my face from the sheer red curtains in Caius's room. Stretching I feel sore and hurt everywhere. I smile remembering the night before. Looking down at my naked body I see bruises on my wrists, ankles and hips my smile widens. That is until my stomach twists in a painful knot. Shit this is the second morning I have woke up here and I haven't eaten since the fast food while racing here with Alice to save Fuckward's dumb ass. Now I'm not even sure why I did it.

I get out of bed and look around at my destroyed clothes. Shit everything else is in my room. I look over to the mirror on the vanity. The slut's head is still there with a narrow eyed sneer on her ugly pug face. Then I see my wand next to her head. I walk over to get it and the bitch trys to snap at me. Is she that stupid? I retrieve my wand and do a quick spell on her head to shrink it and give her the ability to talk.

"You stupid witch bitch how dare you fuck my husband" her tiny head shrieks at me.

"Your husband? Well I believe mate trumps husband slut" I sneer at her.

Picking up her head and allowing my beautiful snake to wrap around my upper body and neck, I apparate us all to my room. Tossing her head on the floor of my closet I set out to find something to wear before searching out some food. I found a black leather corset that ties criss cross in the back, a flowy black skirt, and platform boots. Perfect! I shower quickly. Came out grab the sluts head and my snake I apparate to the throne room arriving with a intentionally loud POP, in front of Aro who jumps slightly.

"Ah Isabella! Good morning. Is that Athenodora's head in your hand? Why is there a snake wrapped around you" Aro asks looking slightly bewildered.

"Oh is that this slut's name? Then yes it is her head. The snake is my familiar" I said sweetly.

"Oh um alright. Caius brought it to my attention that you have not eaten since you got here nearly two days ago perhaps Jane can escort you to the kitchen" Aro asked.

"Yes I would appreciate that. And here you can hang this head on the wall behind the thrones" I handed him the head while grinning evilly.

He looked shocked for a moment but took it by the hair setting it down on the ground by his throne.

"Of course, I will have someone hang a chain or hook to place it on. Jane escort Miss Swan to the kitchens" Aro said.

Jane was beside us in the blink of an eye. I followed her through numerous corridors the entire time thinking about Caius. I felt his eyes on me the entire time I was in the throne room but chose to ignore it. I still couldn't stand the bastard no matter how mind blowing the sex was between us. I loathed him with a passion. He was arrogant, rude and shows me no respect at all. I deserve respect! I could kill him in an instant if I chose to! Jane stopped in what I was surprised to find was a state of the art, top of the line kitchen. Why would vampires need a state of the art kitchen?

"Jane, why such a nice kitchen in a castle full of vampires" I ask her curiously.

"We do have human employee's here and with the Masters if they have to have things it is top of the line. No matter how big, small or useless to us it is" She replied looking at me like she wanted to say more.

"What is it Jane I can see something is on your mind" I say to her as I swish my wand making pancakes and sausage cook themselves.

"I was wondering, well you ignored Master Caius in the throne room. We all heard you two last night and thought maybe you had accepted your bond." she said while taking a seat at the table watching the food prepare and cook itself. I sat down with her.

"Yes I figured everyone heard everything. He took my wand before I had a chance to put a silencing spell on the room. Bastard" I said quietly.

"But while the sex was good I still don't like him. Really I don't want anything to do with him. So can we please change the subject?"

"Sure um Alec and I were planning on going out into the town today since it will be raining all day. Would you like to come" Jane asked.

"Yes, if you two will accompany me into the magical town also I want to get some books and see if any house elves are for sale" I said while swishing my wand to bring my food to me.

"Sure! But what is a house elf?" she asked.

"It's a magical creature who lives to serve others. They have to do anything you tell them to. My parents didn't agree with owning them but I'm not my parents" I said bitterly.

"Why wouldn't they want a creature that had to do everything they say? Seems rather odd to me" she said.

"My parents, when they still had their magic, were very good. Anything they deemed cruel or evil they strayed away from. Owning a house elf in their opinion was cruel. Like I said I'm not my parents" I said while finishing my food.

I flicked my wand to clean the dishes and put them back where they belong. Grabbed Jane's elbow and apparated us back to the throne room. When we got there she looked like she would be ill if it were possible. I couldn't help but laugh at her.

"Well that was interesting. In all my years as an immortal I've never had the urge to be sick. I don't know how you travel that way" Jane said

"You get used to it. The first few times I did it I actually did get sick. Now Alec are you ready to go?" I asked

"Yes if you lovely ladies are ready." He said.

This caused Caius to growl and stand up from his throne glaring at the three of us. Jane and Alec bowed lowly at him whilst I just glared back at him.

"Honestly! Do you have to fucking growl at someone for no reason" I snapped coldly at him.

"You should not be going leaving this castle with another male without my say so" he yelled at me.

"You are not my father! And even my own father wouldn't be this insufferable" I shout back at him.

"You little witch need to learn respect. YOU WILL RESPECT ME" he roared.

"Why would I show respect for someone who does not respect me? I could kill you! I could make you suffer! CRUCIO!" I bellowed pointing my wand at him. He curled up on of the floor panting as I kept the curse on him.

I let off the curse he was up and had me by my neck growling in my face in an instant. I wrapped my wandless hand around his wrist doing the spell that makes him believe he's burning without actually burning him. His growls got louder and his grip tighter so I made the spell hotter.

"I hate you!" I whispered roughly making the spell the hottest I could.

He roared shaking the windows with the volume of it flinging me to the ground. He towered over me eyes black with rage. And once again my body betrayed my mind as my arousal grew. I jumped up pointing my wand at him. He rushed forward knocking the wand out of my hand pinning me back on the ground under his stone body. I put my hands on his face using the same spell narrowing my eyes and giving him a growl of my own.

"You will never understand how much I hate you little witch" he sneered at me.

It was as he was saying this that I realized his erect cock was pressed against my leg. I guess he was having the same problem. As soon as I noticed it my arousal grew more. Amazingly his eyes got blacker as his nostrils flared inhaling my scent. He growled again and jumped off of me. Stalking out of the throne room to go brood somewhere. I stood up corrected my clothing and retrieved my wand. Turning back to Jane and Alec I stomped over to them.

"Both of you grab my skirt." I barked out. When they did I apparated us out of the castle and into the city.

We went to the different shops just browsing and chatting about nothing of importance. I was happy to discover that in Italy you can buy alcohol at 16. I bought more whiskey and some rum. Alec and Jane picked out Vodka they got 5 bottles each. I had no idea vampires could get drunk but they assured me that if they consume enough they can. They would have to feed when they wanted to get rid of the affects. They told me how Aro always buys massive amounts of alcohol on their 'birthdays' or the day they woke up.

"When did you two wake up to this new life?" I asked

Alec answered "15th of July 1692. We were both 17 at the time"

After that conversation I decided it was time to go to the magical world. Walking slowly back towards the alley way by the castle my mind wandered back to Caius. That's been happening a lot today. Why did he have to act like a god damn cave man. I realized he was older than I can comprehend but Jane had told me they keep up with the times. Know about the changes in the human world. So he should realize I'm a modern day woman. And after my little show with Fuckward it should be glaringly obvious that I'm done being bossed around. I hate him! Yet I still can't get him off of my mind. Damn him. Damn the way he can make my body awaken with one of his glares.

"FUCK! Why the hell do I love him?" I muse aloud.

"Well, it's fate. And from what I understand about fate you can't fight it." Jane answers

"Fate can kiss my ass. I don't even like him! But when I'm away I feel like my damn heart is being ripped out of my chest. It does nothing but piss me the fuck off" I sneer.

"Yes but I'm sure Master Caius feels the same way. You two are really so much alike it's obvious that you are two halves of a whole fucked up package" says Alec jokingly.

"If I didn't already like you Alec you would be a pile of ash for calling me fucked up. No matter how true it is. Now you two help me think of a name for my beautiful snake here." I said while we are walking through the entrance to the magical world.

When we entered Alec and Jane were looking around awestruck. I remember the first time I ever went into a magical town. It was mesmerizing. We walked around a bit talking about different names for my snake and I explained what different things in the wizarding world were. They didn't realize that we could actually fly around on brooms they thought that was made up legend like the fact that vampires would burn in daylight.

"How about we name her Lilith it stands for darkness" Jane said as we were entering a book store.

"Lilith? Do you like the name Lilith?" I asked my snake.

She hissed happily giving my neck a light squeeze. Well then I guess her name is Lilith. I looked around the old bookstore. It smelled of dust and old parchment. There was thick layers of dust covering all of the books and selves in the store. Cobwebs in the corners and jars with unidentifiable things in them on some of the shelves. I felt at home here.

"Okay any books on dark arts or demons you guys can find bring them with you and meet me at the counter in a half hour" I tell Jane and Alec.

They nod and all three of us go off into different directions. I was scanning through the first shelf when Lilith hissed and started slithering off of me. I grab my wand turning around to see what she was going on about and an old lady was standing about 3 feet behind me with a scowl on her face glaring at Lilith who wrapped around my legs facing her and still hissing. The woman didn't make a move closer or have a wand drawn so I was confused.

"I was only wondering what you and your friends were looking for. I was seeing if you wanted my assistance this is my shop" she said in a raspy voice.

I lovingly stroked Lilith's head to calm her and have her slither back up my body resting her head on my shoulder still looking at the old woman. I chose to ignore the way she sneered out friends when talking of Jane and Alec. I knew they would not have a warm welcome in the magical world. Witches and Wizards do not trust vampires. We had already gotten many glares while walking around the town.

"Yes I was looking for books on dark art's spells and rituals. Also anything you have pertaining to demons."

"This way"

I follow her through the store to the opposite end from where I had been Jane and Alec join us having heard our conversation. She stops in front of a small bookshelf that has even more dust than most other things in this store. Looking through I find things that may prove to be useful. Summoning and Binding rituals, Dark Magic History, Book of dark creatures and where they lurk. Yes I think I can figure out how it is that demon blood was gotten for my wand with these. If not I could always come back at another time. I notice Jane and Alec eyeing the books warily.

"Oh come on you two. You've caused a lot more damage, death and mayhem in your lives than I have. These are just books. And they aren't cursed I already checked." I said while laughing at them.

Jane smiles warily at me. And we make our way to the front of the store to pay for the books. Getting a house elf can wait. I decide to stop into the pub to eat before going back to the castle. Knowing full well I'll have to deal with Caius's insufferable ass as soon as I get back. Damn it all to hell there I go thinking about him again!

Caius POV

How dare that bitch talk to me like I'm a piece of trash! I've been pacing my office randomly smashing things for 3 hours now and I'm still angry. She's been gone for 3 damn hours and they are not in Volterra I sent Demitri out an hour ago to fetch her so this painful annoying ache in my chest would cease. Fucking fates! I never wanted a damn mate. Especially not a witch! I smell Demitri approaching before he knocks on the door.

"Enter" I sneer out.

He comes in bowing before saying, "I'm sorry to disturb you Master but Aro sent me to summon you to the throne room a trial will start in a few moments."

"Fine go I'll be there."

I make my way to the throne room taking my usual seat. I don't understand why I have to be there. My vote is always the same. But no matter, maybe I can take the punishment into my own hands since Jane and Alec are gone with Isabella who knows where. A nomad is brought in with a newborn. Apparently it's his mate but he could not control her so she wiped out an entire village leaving a few survivors in her wake. This could cause exposure. Something we can not let happen.

They are sentenced to death surprise surprise. I take over ripping one of them apart while Felix takes the other. As I'm ripping the woman's head off I notice she resembles Isabella with her mahogany hair. This sends me into a small rage as I viciously rip her apart. And set the pieces on fire. Watching the bodies burn my cock comes to life. I love death and destruction it's my own personal aphrodisiac. With my cock hard as a rock I think of Isabella's tight pussy around it and her blood flowing into my mouth. NO! I will not think about her! Damn that little witch for invading my mind! Then I hear a pop behind me. Turning around I see she, Jane and Alec are back. Once again she is ignoring me. I scoop her up and run us to her chambers.

When we enter her room I set her down on her feet facing me. I crush my lips to hers forcing my tongue into her mouth. She moans as I taste every corner of her mouth. She's pulling at my robes trying to take them off. I quickly take my clothes off and twirl her around untying her corset as she is slipping her skirt and panties off. When we are both free of our clothes she takes my hand and leads me to the bed pushing me indicating she wants me to lay down.

I oblige and she shimmies up my body planting small hot kisses everywhere she touches. She then leans up and guides my waiting cock into hot tight pussy. Watching her ride me her breasts bouncing, I go to touch them and she grabs my wrists making them feel like they are on fire it hurts, but the pain increases my pleasure.

She grabs my index finger guiding it to her breast where she makes my nail cut into her soft flesh over the scar my venom made last night. I lean up licking greedily. As I'm licking the last of the crimson fluid off of her creamy flesh her walls clamp around my cock. She screams out her release in turn causing me to roar out mine. When we both calm down she slides off of me and onto the bed.

"I really hate you" She says breathlessly.

"As I hate you little witch" I bite back.

"I hate you but I love you" she whispers sadly.

"I understand. I feel the same" I answer her.

We lay there silently for a while and she drifts off to sleep. Staring down at her naked form I realize that saying of there is a thin line between love and hate is true. I loathe this woman. But I also love her.
