Twilight Fan-fiction: It was your Fault
Chapter 8
We had barley moved. Though it had been at least an hour. My legs began to cramp up after about ten minutes of sitting with him, and shifting my legs to sit so my legs were folded at the side of my body, and leaning into Caius, had been the only movement the entire time.
It wasn't awkward like I thought it would be, it was a comfortable silence. My body was becoming more and more easily relaxed as I sat there with him. Soon my eyes started to become droopy.
How was I even tired? I took a nap right before Caius came in. Must be mental exhaustion. Either way, Caius shifted under me and my eyes shot up to him immediately. Was he leaving now?
"Shh, I wont leave yet, but you are tired, you need your rest." he told me. Damn, if I didn't know any better I would think he had Aro's power. I wonder how the other two kings feel about Caius finding his mate in a human.
Caius laid me down on the bed, moving the covers around until they covered me. He then laid down next to me and wrapped his arm around my torso hesitantly. I turned to face him and snuggled into his hard, cool, well defined chest.
It felt so nice to do this again. But this time it felt better. I let my eyes slowly close. Caius's grip tightened slightly after a minute and he shifted closer, still hesitant. I felt his nose in my hair and felt him breathe in my sent.
A light rumbling came from his chest. It was soothing and almost completely quiet. He was purring. I smiled softly only half conscious now. The last thing I heard was him whispering into my ear,
"Buonanotte, mia amore. Non sai ancora ma, ti amo. Mi vuoi bene?"
I was unconscious as soon as he finished his final word.
LINE BREAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
When I woke the first thing I realized was that I had no nightmares last night. It had been the first night since Fuckward left me.
Next, I noticed I wasn't in my own bed. Huh? I sat up slowly. Where was I? Memories came rushing back as soon as I tried to remember what happened. Well damn. That's a hell of a lot to remember.
I put my head in my hands, groaning. I can't believe all that happened within a day. Or was it two, and I was just awake through the jet lag? Either way, a lot has happened so quickly. I was becoming overwhelmed now that it was all catching up to me.
I felt the bed shift. My head shot up looking for the cause. I thought it would be Caius, but it wasn't. It was Aro. I shrank back slightly. I might be Caius's mate, but I was still afraid. Why was he in here with me? Where was Caius?
"It's alright cara mia, I will not harm you." He said "I just wanted to see how you were doing.
Quiet a lot has happened to you by what I saw through Edward's mind, and I am surprised by how well you've been holding up thus far." He looked at me for a moment. "So I would like to ask you, how exactly are you doing?"
"I'm fine." I whispered bringing my knees to my chest and wrapping my arms around them.
"Are you?" Aro asked with a raised brow. When he got no answer in return he sighed, "Well ok cara mia. I just want you to know you are no prisoner here. You are Caius's mate, and future queen of The Volturi, I want you to be comfortable around us. No one will harm you as long as we are around, and we will be around for a long while." He chuckled.
Time out.
"Queen?" I squeaked. How did he expect me to rule an entire race of vampires along side them? I was a mere human, week and feeble minded compared to them.
"Yes cara. You are the mate of a King, therefore you will be the Queen as soon as you fully except Caius as a mate, and are changed."
"Oh." is all I said looking down. So they are going to kill me. Just not in the way I originally thought.
"Calm, cara mia, we will not change you till you are ready." he said lifting my chin with his index finger and thumb. "I must take my leave now." he said after a moment of silence. "We have a few guests, and I need to see that their presence is soon expelled. We won't want any run ins now do we?"
"ok." I said looking back down to the mattress. "Thank you for your concern Aro." I said before he left trying to be polite. He had been so kind to me after all.
He smiled at me and bowed his head in recognition to my thanks. He began to walk out at a normal human pace.
"See you soon cara mia." He said before he closed the door behind him.
LINE BREAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I sat there for a while just waiting. It was boring as hell. I had enough of waiting last night. I went and opened my door multiple times looking into the hall before closing it.
I was in a castle filled with man-eating vampires. I was a little nervous about exploring. Plus what if I get lost? UHHHG but I was SOOOOOOOO bored.
Screw it.
I opened the door and took a step out, looking around. No one was around. I decided to go left, Aro had gone right this morning, and I didn't want to end up in the throne room if they still had visitors. I do want to see Caius though.
I smiled at the thought of Caius. I had my true mate now. And he was a King. I scoffed at myself. How'd you land this one Bella?
Not paying attention to where I was walking I ran head first into something that might as well have been a wall. Stumbling back slightly I rubbed my head and looked up. Shit.
A large vampire, the one who wanted to eat me when we first met, was looking down at me.
"S-sorry." I stuttered. "I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going." I backed away slightly. He smirked.
"It's alright princess, but little heads up for the future." he leaned down so we were the same height. " Watch your step, you never know who's around that might just want a snack."
"Felix!" Someone called. He straightened up and turned to the voice. It was Demetri.
"Yes Demetri?" Felix asked.
"Stop scaring the princepessa!" He scolded walking over to his side and looking at me.
"Oh were just messing around." he said nonchalantly, slinging an arm around my shoulder and holding me in place when I tried to shrink back. Demetri grabbed his wrist and flicked it off my shoulder.
"Well stop it unless you want your head in a fire pit. Master Caius will surely kill you." Demetri scolded again. Felix sighed and bowed to me.
"Forgive me princepessa." He said. "It will not happen again."
"Uhh." I gulped, I had no clue what to do. Luckily, Demetri stepped forward slightly shoving his friend out of the way. Felix gave a playful growl. But he ignored it.
"Come princepessa, you have been summoned to the throne room. I am to escort you." He said holding his hand towards the direction I previously came from.
Well then… I guess its time to go to the throne room.
