How do you trust someone that was clearly keeping so much from you?
Everyone. Including Aro had withdrawn themselves from me. When I woke again in the morning. I had found the five of them huddled around each other whispering. I couldn't help but frown. As soon as I stepped on deck they all stood and took seats away from each other. Except Aro he walked over to me and cupped his hands against my cheek bringing his lips to mine.
I couldn't help but smile as I felt his cold lips against mine. It was comforting. Even while I was scared, I felt comforted by Aro, as he pulled back he looked into my eyes. His hand stroking my cheek softly
"Do not be scared my sweet" Nodding my head slowly as I looked up at him
"I'll try not to Aro" His lips pressed against my forehead before he lead me over to a seat. I didn't know what I was going to do. My mind was on that nightmare. I couldn't stop thinking about what Caius had done in my dream. He was so...
I don't know. He looked so evil. So cruel. I couldn't help but look over at him. A frown formed as I pick up the ink that Marcus had so kindly lent to me. A slice of paper sat in my lap. I couldn't help but look over at Caius' general direction. Leaning back against the wall, I began to sketch down the scene that had been playing in my mind since I had awoke.
Caius' monstrous eyes shining in the dark as he came at me. The dream felt so real. Like it was all about to happen. Shaking my head again as the wind blew my hair into my face. A low hissing sound came. Raising my head I looked around. It seemed to have come from someone on board the ship. Scrunching up the piece of paper that held the image of Caius from my dream, not that he wasn't scary any way because he really was.
He was what nightmares were made of. Deciding to draw something else I tilted my head as I looked at Marcus and Didyme. They looked well suited together, I wondered if they had been mated together or not. They were who I had decided to chose. Marcus and Didyme seemed to have spent a lot of their time together. I wouldn't be surprised if Aro hadn't seen the connection between the pair. A smile on my full lips as I began to draw them, Softly humming to myself I tried to keep the memories of the nightmare away but it kept creeping in.
Why the hell was I dreaming about Caius killing Athenodora? I seen the way he looked at her. So protective even if he held a cold exterior, Even though he was not so into public affection he still loved her. It showed in the way he stood by her and looked at her. Even if half the time he looked like he was about to run through everyone and eat them. Shaking my head at my silliness.
Turning my attention back the paper as I started again this time, I began drawing everyone. Aro and myself in front. Didyme and Marcus to the right of Aro and myself. Then on the left I drew Caius and Athenodora. As I added the finishing touches to the picture I couldn't help but admire it. Aro in front. He looked so powerful, My eyes flickered over at him,
He always carried himself with such confidence. He always looked so powerful like he was always thinking, always plotting. Like he had something more planned. But what? I folded up the piece of paper and placed it into the pocket of my dress. I'd keep it to myself. I wanted to know what Aro had on his mind. But I knew he wasn't going to tell me anything until we were in Italy.
So the moment we were in Italy, I planned on asking him everything. I wanted to help Aro gain what he wanted, I didn't care the cost. As long as he got what he needed and wanted. It had only been a few days, but I already knew I wanted my life with this man. No matter what.
