Valeria shook herself out of her thoughts and gently placed a hand on her mate's chest to push him away. Caius let go reluctantly, his face stone cold. But Valeria could see the pain in his eyes "Caius. . ." She very-nearly crooned. Good thing she stopped herself in time "You still need to prove your love to me. Separating Athenodora from yourself hardly does anything and—" She was interrupted with a surprise.

Caius' mouth covered hers in a passionate kiss.

The nomad was stunned, she broke out of her reverie only when he whimpered slightly into the kiss. She found herself falling under his charm, his scent overwhelming her senses forcing her to give in; she started to kiss him back. After a few more moments, the two broke apart, Caius purring in delight. "Will this do?"

"You sly vampire." Valeria growled softly, placing her forehead on his. The king chuckled and kissed her nose "You always have a way to make me forgive you. . ." She trailed off, looking into his eyes. Those crimson orbs always seemed to lull her in.

"True mates can't be separated for long." He muttered with a soft sigh, using his right index finger to gently caress her cheekbone. Their breaths mingled together, and soon enough, they lost track of time as they held each other. The moment was ruined when someone flickered into the courtyard.

Valeria heard the vampire way before she uttered a sound of joy. "Oh my god! You two are back together? Oh this is a happy day!" The fair-haired female turned her head to see Sulpicia jumping up and down in excitement. "What? Am I missing an important piece of information?" The brunette questioned as she saw Valeria's playful glare.

"No, you are not." Caius said in a clipped tone, displeased at the fact that they were interrupted in their little reunion.

"Well. For the celebration—"

"There will be none."

"But—"

"No buts Sulpicia."

"Fine." The queen pouted, floating away to probably tell Aro about the two. It was true. The two listened and they heard them start squealing before the sounds evolved into. . . disturbing ones. Valeria shuddered, leaning into Caius with a sigh.

"So, what now?" She asked.

The two vampires ended up in the library, cuddling and reading their own separate books at the same time. "Hmm, I don't like Romeo and Juliet it's too classical. Besides. I met the poor-excuse of a mortal when I. . ." She trailed off, clearing her throat. That action was highly unneeded, of course, but the tension was creeping back between them and she didn't want that. "Anyway. He's a hopeless romantic and he merely puts his imaginations into his work."

Caius chuckled weakly before placing a small kiss on the top of his mate's head. Currently, she was curled up against him while he was simply sitting normally. "I agree with you." The silence came back. Right until Valeria sat up.

"I think—"

BAM

The two ancients looked at each other with wide eyes. "What was that?" Caius murmured, his annoyance thinly veiled. He placed the book in his hands down before flickering away. Valeria followed suit. The sound happened to come from the tower Athenodora was supposed to be in.

When they reached the corridor leading to the tower, they saw Santiago headless. "What in the..." Valeria murmured before drifting forward and picking up Santiago's head. She pressed the head to the body, watching silently as it healed.

"Where is Athenodora?" Caius hissed murderously as he came back from inspecting the area. Valeria shrugged helplessly and watched as her mate punched the wall in frustration. "Why can't she just disappear?"

"Now now Caius," Aro reprimanded as he appeared beside his brother, drawn to the sound as well. "do not be mad. We have to calm down and think rationally."

"I am calm."

"No, you're not."

"I am."

"You are not."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

Valeria rolled her eyes, letting go of the guard's head as it was reattached. "Ladies, you're both beautiful, can you stop bickering now?" She said dryly, standing up and placing her hands on her hips. "Santiago is waking up and he might be able to tell us something."

The two kings glowered at each other before turning towards the handsome vampire slowly waking up. Imagine Aro, Caius', and Valeria's surprise at what Santiago said when he opened his eyes.

"Claude."

A/N; Yes, it's short. I'm sorry. This is basically the SHORTEST chapter I will ever write for this story.

Recap;

Valeria and Caius rekindle old bonds and they have some time in the library alone. They talk about Shakespeare efore they heard a weird sound. Deciding to check it out, the two find Santiago decapitated and Athenodora missing. Who is Claude? Where is Athenodora? Why am I asking pointless questions? Who knows! Stick around to find out.
