A/N: I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter and I hope you enjoy this one.


Serefina's POV

Sometime, a few days later Demetri came to Serefina and knocked on her door.

"Oh, hello Demetri," she greeted.

"Hi, may I come in?" he said.

"Sure."

"I have something I want to show you."

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes," Demetri answered as he took out a blind fold and put it over her eyes.

"Demetri, what are you doing?" she questioned.

"Do you trust me?" he inquired

"Yes," she responded.

Demetri scooped Serefina up bridal style and put his lips to her neck. "You shouldn't." Serefina giggled, but there was a slightly nervous edge to it. "I'm not going to hurt you."

"I know, but to have your teeth that close to my neck is a bit unnerving," she replied.

"I'm sorry," he responded.

"I forgive you," she said.

He started to carry her down the halls.

"Where are we going?" Serefina inquired.

"You'll see," Demetri replied.

"This better be good," she said.

"Let's just say it's a small piece of paradise," he responded.

"Really Demetri?" came a new voice, Serefina recognized it as Marcus'

"Hello Marcus," she said.

"Hello Serefina. I'm going to go on ahead." Marcus replied.

After a bit Demetri set Serefina down. "Close your eyes," Demetri said.

She closed her eyes and Demetri removed the blindfold. "Can I open my eyes now?" she asked.

"Yes," Demetri answered.

Serefina opened her eyes and found Demetri's hands blocking her view.

"Demetri!" Serefina exclaimed with a light laugh.

"Serefina, welcome to paradise," Demetri said. He removed his hands and Serefina took in the sights around her. There was a small sitting area, with comfy-looking chairs, a few tables and lamps. All around the room were selves upon selves of books.

"Wow."

"Last time I checked there were about ten thousands books in here," Marcus replied.

"Really?" Serefina questioned.

"Yes, and it's only a fraction of what's in the conjoined library," Marcus said.

"Master Marcus, Master Caius and Master Aro all have their personal studies and underneath the throne room is a library for everyone's use. There are copies of every book here and thousands more," Demetri responded.

"Really?" Serefina asked.

"Yes, and some of these books are very old, so I hope you'll be careful," Marcus said.

"Oh yes of course," Serefina replied.

"This is for you," Marcus said and he handed her a black volume with a silver border and a silver "L" at the top.

"Oh, thank you," Serefina responded.

"With the like of reading usually comes with the like of writing, use it for whatever you wish," Marcus replied.

"Yes, I do like to write," Serefina said.

"Well, I'll be up sometime later, have fun," Marcus responded before giving her a kiss on the forehead and then leaving.

"Well, that was unexpected."

"He really likes you, I think he sees you as a sister and I think he sees me sometimes as a son and sometimes as a friend or even a brother. Master Aro keeps it at an acquaintance level, and Master Caius makes it known that we are servants," Demetri said. "Come on, I'll give you the grand tour." He took Serefina's hand. "Over here we have history, and I mean like everything in history." He led her to another section. "Here we have theology and mythology." He guided her to yet another section. "Over here is religion." Demetri scooped Serefina up.

"Demetri!" she squealed.

He carried her over to different section. "This is science-fiction and fantasy." He showed her every aspect of the room. And then he took her over to some glass cases and pulled out a book that was similar to Serefina's. "I'm about one thousand years old and since I was about five years and under control, I've kept a detail account of history, both Master Marcus and I believe that history should be preserved."

"So do I," Serefina said.

"Is there anything you would like to know about?" Demetri asked.

"What was your view on World War 2?" she questioned.

"Ah, Adolf Hitler…." And he wove his tale about what he went through during that time.

"And right before the war ended I got to go to Germany."

"Really?" She was truly intrigued.

"Oh yes, some vampire wanted to ally himself with Hitler and reveal us, and he wanted to grant Hitler immortality," He replied. "There we were, Felix, Jane and I, and we found the guy and took him out, and we got to see Hitler face to face. Less than a year later he died."

"He killed himself?" she inquired.

"Whatever history said happened," he said.

"Wow."

"Yeah, and you should hear the things Master Marcus went through, he's about three thousand years old," Demetri responded. He led her over to another glass case. "You see those parchments?"

"Yes," Serefina replied.

"Those are things Master Marcus wrote," Demetri responded.

"Wow That's amazing."

After a while Marcus came in with a tray. "Are you boring her Demetri?"

"No, actually she's quite intrigued," Demetri answered.

"Perhaps I will tell you a few things one day," Marcus said. He set the tray down on one of the tables. "You must be hungry, so I brought you up some food."

"Thank you," Serefina responded.

"I have a feeling you'll be spending quite a bit of time in here," Marcus replied.

"Yes, if that's not a problem," Serefina said.

"No, that's not a problem, feel free to come in at any time," Marcus responded.

"Thank you."

"What are some of your favorites?" Marcus asked.

"Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, A Tale of Two Cities, The Great Gatsby, The Book Thief, The Things They Carried, just to name a few," Serefina answered.

"I like many of those as well. Where are you from?" Marcus said.

"Rome," she replied.

"Oh, here from Italy. How does it feel to be back home?" Marcus responded.

"This isn't really home, but it's nice. My family is in poverty and that's why I went to America, to get an education and hopefully make enough money to bring my family over," she answered.

"Oh, how big is your family?" Marcus questioned.

"I have three younger brothers and two younger sisters; I haven't even met the youngest yet. She was born while I was in America," she said.

"Oh, so the typical big family," Marcus responded.

"Si," she replied. After Serefina was done eating Demetri took her back to her room.

"Did you enjoy that?" Demetri asked.

"Yes, very much," Serefina answered.

"If there is anything else I can do…"

"No, I'm all right for now, I'm still a bit tired from the jet lag, so I'm going to take a nap," she said.

"All right, if you need anything let me or Master Marcus know," he responded.

"Of course," she replied.

"Have a nice nap," he said.

"Thanks." Serefina went into the room, crawled under the covers and soon fell asleep.
