Court.
Congregating in the middle, the kings explain their decision. "Since this affected you the most we wanted you to choose their defining fate. We, of course, will determine their punishments after the trial and we will take on any suggestions you might offer. To prevent any suspicion straight away, you will be hidden in plain sight as a guard. Then they will come in and be questioned before we release Edward and Alice to join their family. Only once we have enough information will I nod at you to reveal yourself. Do you agree to this?"
"I guess, do I have to say anything on my behalf?"
He gave a moments thought before nodding. "It would definitely help your case and would tell the story in your prospective however it is ultimately up to you." I agreed.
The next few hours were spent trying to fine line the smaller details, take measurements for the clothes and cloak, and informing the guard. Yawning, I glanced at the clock to see it was well past ten, nearing eleven, and I needed to be up early tomorrow. Wishing everyone a good night, Caius escorted me back to his room where I was apparently staying for the next few days at least. I had tried to refuse but they would not except any less- I didn't know why and it was confusing to say the least. Once in the room I piled a set of fresh night wear (one of Caius' t-shirts and some underwear) on the bed before hopping into the shower. Getting out I was not expecting Caius to still be there causing me to jump out of my skin.
I ignored him and changed. It was while I was getting under the sheets he asked me if I was alright. To which I nodded. But truthful, fear crawled under my skin, rattling its cage in the depths of my mind. He looked at me like he knew the truth and I thought he would call me out on it, instead he inclined his head before vanishing into the night.
That night I tossed and turned as my thoughts weighed down on me, keeping sleep at bay. Finally I must of dozed off as the next thing I know my alarm is screeching. Dragging myself from the warm haven, I took care of my human needs and scrubbed my face then retreated back to the room to change. Beneath the cloak I would be wearing a wine red corset-top dress that flowed to my ankles. Whilst I was trying, and failing, to zip it up, a knock echoed on the door and in walked the owner of the room. Somehow he managed to take my breath away every time. I mentally shook my head, "can you help me?"
Without answering he slowly zipped it up, I could feel the cool of his fingers seep through the material and caress me- unknowingly I relaxed. Turning, I thanked him. Silence seemed to be a theme this morning as he lead me to my breakfast, then the throne room where court would be held.
Marcus held out a black package and hung it over my shoulders with the hood pulled up.
We waited for the accused to be led through. One by one they came to a stop in front of the kings. Carlisle stepped forward, "please we have done nothing wrong, no laws are broken. Aro, my frie-"
They had been steadily getting more and more furious, however when Carlisle tried to call him that word, Aro was livid- how dare he. "Carlisle! Do not play games with me for you will lose. You no longer have the right to call me that." The family was huddled together, "and I am well aware you have told a human of our existents and yet she still lives- am I right or am I right?" Aro smirked.
"I told you! I told you that we should have gotten rid of her but you ignored me, you ignored Jasper, you ignored Emmett for the result of pleasing your golden children. Are you happy?" screamed Rose. Carlisle and Esme just looked disappointed. The Fuckers. As if they had a right to judge. However, before it could get out of hand, Caius growled out an order of silence. Mmmm- he was so sexy! I melted to a gooey mess. Once they were sedated, the kings continued their line of questioning.
I found it funny as they were backed into a corner.
Too soon though they brought in the resisting duo, shouting profanities and demanding to be released- I almost laughed. The Cullen Clan gasped at their disarray but made no move to comfort them even though Esme looked to be fighting the instinct- and close to snapping. Eddie and Malice kneeled before the kings and asked to explain their side.
At first neither broke but it wasn't long until Alice burst into tears, "No! No. No. NO! This is not how it was supposed to be, why-"
"Alice."
"- why, she's not supposed to be real, she's not supposed to be here, she's supposed to be dead. It's all her fault."
"What are you talking about, Alice?" questioned Jasper.
"She is Edward's, to do as he pleases, like you are to me." They were crazy. Shock, confusion and finally anger sent a jolt through me- how DARE they. Oh, they were going to pay. I was so mad I missed the rest of the self-righteous monologue (thank god for small mercies) and only saw them being held back from attacking. Now they were just pissing me off!
Waiting for the signal, I stepped forward slightly and fidgeted with the hem of my hood until Aro nodded in my direction causing all to look my way. Taking that as my cue, I skipped out of the shady covers. Halting before them, I sized them up one by one, only once I finished my evaluation did I proceed.
I threw the hood back... and awaited the reaction.
Mwahahahahaha! I am SO evil! ;) Sorry, not sorry- you had this coming. And do you know why? BECAUSE not only have I updated SUPER quick but, *drumroll*. . . . .
. . . . . This is the longest chapter EVER, with OVER 1000 words- are you happy? Are you pleased? Are you proud? Well if not, I am! :P
Please R&R- they keep alive and going.
