Recap:
"It's good to see that my devious mind is rubbing off on you."
Well I guess this means we're going to Italy. SCORE!
"I can't believe we are going back their again last time we were there you barely made it out before they had the huge problem with feeding that day." Mick whispered to himself, as we sat on a bench at the airport. Waiting the hour and a half we have to wait between our connecting and our flight to Italy.
"Just think about it this way, they can't do anything to me. I'm too valuable to them. I am the future, there is no way they can kill me." I stated while I reached for my suitcase. "I'm one of the ones that is going to rule in the coming hard times, as it says in the foretelling left to all of the immortal creatures. So they can try- and we both know that they will- but they will never succeed. I have to do what I was put on this earth to do. The Fates won't let me leave until I have completed my mission. Which won't be complete for many a millennia." I finished as we made our way to look at the departures. Ah, there it is 12:35-Italy, just in time to go through customs and get our bags rechecked and head into the terminal. I turned to Mick as he started to speak again.
"I know that but I still think you shouldn't go especially in your situation. It's just that, what if they attack. I can barely hold myself back and I have known you since you were five years old. You're practically my daughter. And I'll protect you accordingly. After what happened the last time you were there, do you think it's wise to walk straight into the lion's den?" He questioned as we made our way through customs.
"I know it seems like I'm putting myself in danger but we both know they will protect me because they know they must or it will be their destruction. The end of you all."
"Well okay fine then they won't but what of the newborn who knows no better than to attack? What can you do if a newborn tries to kill you?"
"Meet his eyes."
"What if he won't look at your face? What if you can't calm this thirst?"
"I'll hope to God that Aro, Caius, and Marcus value their positions." I finished while we started boarding the plane. And just before the plane took off I heard Mick mutter.
"For your sake, I hope nothing happens." Not another word left our mouths until we heard the tell-all voice of the stewardess letting us know we were about to arrive.
Well here goes nothing.
I was going to end it there but then I remembered my promise to melissaxerzi.
"Why, Miss McDonald it's an honor to have you back, who shall I call for you?"
"I need a meeting. With the heads. And I do not want us disturbed. Do you understand?"
"Yes, m'am completely."
"Good." She didn't move an inch. "Are they in with someone now?"
"No, Miss McDonald." "Good. I will see myself in. Thank you." I walked right past Giana's desk and right through the doors and made my way to where I knew the throne room to be. As I burst into the doors, I shouted, "How many times have I said to leave those close to me untouched?"
"My dear Cassandra, how lovely to see you again." Aro said in such a way as to distract me. "Don't play games with me, Aro. I will not tolerate my loved ones being forced into a life they should not have to suffer through. Break my rules again and I promise you, I will kill you." I stared straight into his eyes. "Do you understand what I am telling you?" He said nothing as a dazed look overtook his eyes "Answer me." "Yes, I understand." he answered in a monotonous voice "Good. Now, what did you do to Derek Michael Venturi?" I asked still staring into his eyes.
"We gave him the standard decision. Death or immortality. His choice was immortality. We gave him until his eighteenth birthday. It is now well past it and he called to confirm his transformation the day after approximately a month and a half ago. He simply has not come so we can see him to verify." Damn. I was hoping for more information. Hold on a sec…
"Where is he now?" "We don't know his exact location he never mentioned it." "Fine you may return now." I broke our gaze and he walked up to his throne. I glanced toward Mick and he knew what I wanted. So he walked up to Aro and touched his hand. I could trust Mick he would be able to give the most important information of all, which was on the forefront of my mind. There was a second of silence in which one by one the heads and the stronger guards turned to look at me. First Caius, then Marcus, Jane and Alec, then Felix and Demetri and just when it was becoming uncomfortable, finally Aro lifted his head and look at me.
I turned and walked out the door.
