I own nothing but Natalia.


Chapter 6
I continued to stare blankly at the door, fearing if I looked away then the Volturi would come back.

"Natalia?" Demetri called softly.

I ignored him and he called my name again, this time with a more angry tone. I force myself to look away from the door and at him. "Yes?" Damn, my voice cracked.

Demetri smiled reassuringly and held my hand. "There's nothing to worry about, every-"

I suddenly wretch my hand out of his grip and snarl at him. "'Nothing to worry about', are you deaf?" I yelled incredulously. How dare he say that like it was no big deal! "They know!" I sank to my knees and cried.

Tears actually poured down my face as I let out sobs. Demetri didn't say anything as he put his arms around me, and for that I was grateful. I just wanted to pretend I was human at the moment and just cry.

Once my pretend human moment was over, I wiped my eyes and looked up at his face. "I'm sorry for snapping at you, and being so emotional."

Demetri smiled and shrugged. "I had it coming for setting off an angry mother."

His offhanded tone brought a smile to my lips. It was nice to know that even in this situation he was still so calm.

Like a light switch I remember the tickets. "Demy, Alice packed us tickets for today's date." his face twisted up at the nickname, but didn't object; well, not verbally at least. "I think she knew something was going to happen, but wasn't sure about what."

"Remind me to thank her for the tickets then." Demetri said sounding very relieved.

We both got off the floor, and went to pack for the trip back home.
