Old friends.
Greeting everyone, I didn't feel as scared of them, but I still wanted to know what was going to happen. "So, what are you going to do with me?"
Aro- I believed his name was- frowned, "we aren't going to hurt you, if that is what you are thinking. In fact, we have decided to protect you. However, we need you to testify against the Cullen Coven."
"You don't have to, if it hurts too much, you don't have to." Interrupted Caius.
I shook my head. "No. I want to do this. I want them to pay, well, most of them." They shot questioning glances at one another, Aro opened his mouth, but I beat them to the chase, "some would not have been given a choice in the matter."
Nodding in agreement, "we will take that into consideration. Now to go over the major details, the rest of the Cullen's should be arriving late tomorrow and I want a detail on them at all times. The court will be held the next day. Bella, mia cara, Caius will be with you twenty-four hours a day, Jane, Alec, Felix and Demetri will watch you in shifts of four, six-hours. I don't want them knowing you're here."
"Where are the other two?"
"Locked up."
Later, as I was walking around, I saw a door. It wasn't anything special. Looking at Caius, he nodded. I crossed the corridor, turned the handle and opened it to find a library. A massive library. Turning around, forgetting where I was, I hugged him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you." Taking a breath, he smelt of fire (the kind at a barbecue), books and a hint of musk. Remembering where I was and who was in front of me, I stepped away, apologising. For a second I thought I saw a look of hurt crossed his features but it was gone so quickly, I must have been imagining things.
Blushing, I hurried further into the library. He didn't follow.
Grabbing a couple of my favourite books- including Pride and Prejudice- I found a little hidey hole, cushioned and with a marble shelf inside to hold books or scrolls. I stayed there for the rest of the afternoon and evening.
It was late the next day while I was back in the library when I heard people talking. Leaving my hiding space, Caius came into view. "We need you in the throne room."
"Okay, but I thought the Cullen's were coming soon."
"They are already here and have been settled in different rooms."
We arrived there soon afterwards to be greeted by the other two kings.
*Mia cara- my darling- Italian.
Hey peeps, I'm back, and it has not even been two weeks- you proud of me? 'cause I am.
Anyhow, please R&R- I love hearing your comments and they make me so happy. I love them. P.S. Yes I am aware chapters are short however this is not supposed to be a long fic and it is my second fic so I know it is not the best, but I am hoping that, with time, I will steadily become a better writer. Once again I thank all of you- you are the BEST!
