Hey there, everyone. Sorry I haven't been updating on the regular. School is really cramping my style, but it must be done. It's a bit short, but I needed to give you all something and this is what I came up with.

CHAPTER ELEVEN
Alec had been gone for about a month. Nicola had sat on the balcony waiting to see any of the four that went on the mission. They had decided when they were to be married, two months from Alec's return. She had been training with Santiago and Renata when she wasn't sitting on the balcony or feeding. Tomorrow she would be going with Heidi to Paris for shopping. Until then, she would be here and waiting. That day would pass slowly.
Heidi burst into the room,'Are you ready for Paris?'
Nicola looked over her shoulder,'I don't see why I wouldn't be.'
They ran there. Heidi explained that it would be much faster than taking a car and far more enjoyable. They walked quietly through the city, trying to not bring too much attention to themselves. However, Heidi's beauty proved to be a type of spectacle for the men and even women.
Heidi explained her history,'I am originally from Venice. I was born around 1903 and changed when I was 22. I wanted to be an actress, but that couldn't happen when I changed.'
'Do you regret that?'Nicola asked as she looked at a dress.
Heidi shrugged,'Not as much as I once did. I have adjusted. There are just some things that are never possible.'
Nicola nodded,'I wanted to be a geographer. Maybe be a professor like my father, but that doesn't seem to be much of a possibility these days.'
'You may never get to study at a university, but the castle's library is full of information, new and old. You can learn anything you want. After all, you have until the earth stops spinning.'
Nicola laughed,'Isn't that just grand.'
They paid with the credit card Aro had given them, all five thousand dollars of it. The two fed on some of the people of Paris. Not as fantastic as the well-fed tourists found in the streets of Volterra, but they were fine for the time. Something different. Then Heidi and Nicola went on to the running. Nicola rearranged her closet to fit all the clothes she had acquired. She wrote a letter to her mother, letting her know she was alive and well in, she decided where she was, Australia. Kangaroos, koalas, dingoes. She was then sitting on the balcony looking out on the land of the Volturi, still nothing.
As the sun came up, she saw four figures walking. She knew he was back home and he would be with her at least until after the wedding. He came running in before she could completely process him being back. He wrapped his arms around her and picked her up out of her chair, knocking it to the ground.
Alec looked into her eyes,'I've missed you.'
'I've missed you too,'she smiled and kissed him.
