PLEASE READ! THERE IS IMPORTANT STUFF IN IT!

Author's Note: First off, thank you for the constant support. Secondly, you may be wondering why I have not written any chapters in Caius's point of view. There is a good reason for this. One, switching point of views confuse me. Two, after I finish this story (it should be around 40-45 chapters), I will post a poll in my bio. I will have multiple choices (one of them being a companion fic in Caius's point of view) of what I will write next. Anyway, I have decided to start responding to my reviews. At the end of each chapter, if you reviewed, the will be a response. I will also have translations posted at the bottom! If you wish to see pictures, links are in my bio! Sorry if I made spelling and grammer errors! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Chapter 10

A Long Day

Caius is very impatient. Every time he had to stop and wait for me to catch up, he glared at me. Note to self: Just wear Converse and jeans tomorrow. When we reach Caius's room, I scream. Imagine the cleanest room you have ever been in, and then multiply that by ten. That is what Caius's room looks like. Everything is red, black, Victorian, and expensive. And clean.

"Why are you screaming?" Caius demands. Though he is trying to hide it, I can hear a hint of fear in his voice. Aww, Caius kind of cares for me.

"Your room is so clean!" I excitedly scream.

"So you are screaming?" he asks, obviously still confused. Gosh, is it really that hard to understand? Oh wait, he's a guy.

"Okay, you really are clueless. Since you room is so clean, I don't have to spend the entire day cleaning it!" I explain.

"Ok…," Caius says while motioning me to sit down. He picks up a quill and starts writing.

Well this is awkward.

Awkward.

Awkward.

I wonder if there is a Starbuck's nearby.

Should I ask?

No. he would just give you a glare and continue writing.

But I really want coffee.

No. Don't ask.

Ask.

Don't ask.

Ask.

Don't ask.

Ask.

"Ahhh!" Oops. I think I said that out loud. I hate arguing with myself.

"Is this random screaming a habit of yours?" Caius asks.

"Sorry. I was just arguing with myself." Yup. Still sounds weird when I say it out loud. After a moment of silence, I ask, "Is there a Starbuck's around here?"

"What is a Starbuck's?" he asks.

"Only the most amazing coffee place on earth!" I clarify. Caius rolls his eyes. This guy needs to learn some manners! I sigh, "You still haven't answered my question."

"How would I know? I haven't left the castle in centuries," he says, not taking his eyes off the paper.

"Does it get boring?" I ask.

"Does what get boring?"

"Just staying in the castle. Never going outside… never learning about you beloved city…"

"I don't care about mortals. They are nothing but a food source."

"Thanks," I say sarcastically. I look up at the shelves full of books. "Hey, can read some of your books?"

"Most of them are in foreign languages, but there may be a few in English," Caius says.

"Thanks!" I scan the books until I come across a language I recognize. French. It turns Caius is a fan of "Beauty and the Beast". I plop down on the chair and open the book, while Caius watches me intently.

"You know that book is in French, right?"

"Yes…"

"And you speak English…"

"Pensez-vous vraiment que je lisais un livre dans une langue que je ne maîtrisait pas bien?" I say in perfect French.

"Vous parlez français?" Caius asks.

"Non, je n'ai mèmorisè ces deux phrases en français," I say rolling my eyes. For an all-powerful vampire lord he can be pretty stupid.

"Idiota mortale," I hear Caius mutter under his breath.

"Bene che non era molto bello," I say, pretending to be hurt. After seeing Caius's shocked expression, I add, "Ho dimenticato di dire che sono fluente in italiano? Posso anche tenere una conversazione in spagnolo e russo."

"That is fairly impressive," Caius says. Was that a compliment? From Caius? Realizing what he said, Caius quickly adds, "For a mortal."

"Sure…"

I read in silence for an hour. Beauty and the Beast is a lot better in French. Lumiere isn't the only one speaking French. Thirty minutes later, I reach the end of the book. Happily ever after. Three words I despise. Happily ever after does not exist. It is simply a figment of your imagination. No one has a perfect life. I everyone had a perfect life, I wouldn't have wings! I would be dating a supermodel! Taking daily trips to London, Paris, and Rome! I realize I am suffocating the book and gently set it down. Caius is giving me a quizzical look. I give him my best "What are you looking at?" face and slump down into the velvet seats.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Caius asks. I look up surprised. Did Caius just ask about what's on my mind?

"Happily ever after is the biggest load of crap ever invented," I reply. Caius looks shocked, but doesn't say anything. A silence fills the room. again.

Pigfarts, pigfarts

Here I come

Pigfarts, pigfarts

Yum, yum, yum

Crap. I search through my boots until I find my phone. (A/N: If anyone can tell who sings her ringtone or where it is from, I will give you a Redvine). It's Connor. Which probably means Jackie, Ally, and Logan are there too. I hesitantly answer the phone and bring it up to my ear.

"Casey? Are you there? Have you gotten a vampire boyfriend? Are you still alive?" Jackie asks. Caius looks up and raises an eyebrow. Crap! He can hear everything! Stupid vampire hearing.

"Yes, it's me. I am in Volterra. No, I don't not have a vampire boyfriend. And I'm pretty sure I'm still alive. Let me check."

"Hey, Casey. Just FYI, you're on speaker phone."

"Thanks Ally. So who do I have to talk to today?" I say, pretending to groan.

"Me, Jackie, Connor, and Logan," Ally says.

"So, anything new? How are you disguising you're wings?" I ask.

"Ally has been changing people's memories so that Jackie and Ally don't appear to have wings. Your way is easier for them, but that obviously is not possible. Sophia is still being annoying and trying to get into the band. Stupid little chick won't take a hint. And English has gotten a lot more boring without your awkward faces and know-it-all answers."

"Thanks, Connor. I miss that thing you call a face too."

"See I told you! Consey will happen!" Jackie exclaims. Consey. The stupid pet name Jackie thought of for me and Connor.

"Hey Logan," I say. I really don't want Caius hearing Jackie go on about "Consey".

"Hey Bird Brain," he replies. Yep. He is still annoying.

Enough about us! I want to hear all about Volterra! Ally says. She has always wanted to travel to Europe.

"Well, in my entire one day of being here, I have had a panic attack, met the guard, met the wives, and have had Caius be assigned as my protector."

"Who's Caius?" Connor asks.

"Blondie."

I hear a chorus of "Oh" as Caius glares at me. Obviously he doesn't like the nickname "Blondie" either. I have an idea…

"Actually, I am with Caius right now. Would you like it meet him?" I ask mischievously. I hand Caius the phone and he puts it up to his ear.

"Hello Blondie!" I hear a female voice, most likely Jackie, say.

"Hello mortal scum," he replies. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Jackie is going to blow up!

"What did you just call me? Listen up vampire, I am not-"

"Okay. Jackie calm down. I'll call you later. Bye!" I say while grabbing the phone from Caius's hands. Once I hang up, I turn to Caius.

"What the hell?! Why are you so frustrating?!"

"I'm the frustrating one?"

"Yes, you are! You just called my friends scum!"

"What's you point?"

"That's not going to make them like you!"

"Why do you care if your friends like me?"

I open my mouth to reply, and then shut it quickly. Why do I care if my friends like Caius? It's not like I like him. I start to walk out the room before realizing that Caius is waiting for answer. Before I leave the room, I look him straight in the eyes and say,

"I don't know."

purpleVampire22- Don't worry. Caius will learn to love Casey.

Guest- I'm glad you like it!

Enchanted0ne- I like making people laugh! I'm glad you find it funny!

Savysnape7- I'm glad you like the twist! That was my easy solution for the whole "wife" problem. And Casey can be rather annoying, cant she? I hope that she isn't coming off as bitchy because Casey is based A LOT off of me!
