I'm really happy the last chapter pleased a lot of you, as is AnnaBoleyna1536.
Now this chapter will start off in Kitty's point, just when she's about to leave and meets two unexpected vampires. Then it will flip to Aro's point right around the time she's supposed to be back in Volterra; but just to be clear Kitty leaves early because she misses him and admits she loves him.
I don't own Twilight and neither does AB.
Enjoy!
Cullen house:
Kitty's P.O.V.:
"You all set there Kitty?" Bella had been helping me pack since yesterday, though I only had a little bit. I'd been waiting all night to go back, and though it was a week early I wanted to go and I wanted to see Aro.
"Yes, almost." I packed up the last of my clothes into the bag, and zipped it shut. I was glad to be going home, and I was even gladder that I would see Aro again.
"Do you want us to call the Volturi? Someone who'll know you'll be there just in case there's a delay?" I thought for a minute, and then I realized the perfect person.
"Yeah here…" I tossed her my phone. "Text Athenodora, she's the first in the list but tell her to say nothing to anyone." Bella nodded and flipped through my phone. "I'm really going to miss this place."
"But not as much as you miss Aro." She handed me back my phone. "Kitty I might not know Aro that well, but I can tell for him to do all of this for you then he must really be in love."
"You already said that, but you're right."
"Oh you know I am, but believe me this isn't goodbye. You can still keep in touch I'm sure Aro wouldn't mind."
"Likely, and Bella, do you think he'll still chase after your family even if he has me?" she swatted my arm.
"Kitty if that were true or not Aro is not keeping you as a guard, he'll make you his wife. You'll be a queen, so you'll have some say in all of this."
"Athenodora and Sulpicia, neither Didyme did before." She leaned in.
"Well maybe you can convince them." She winked. "After all women run this world as much as the men do."
"Oh yeah." I laughed and packed up the last of my things. "Hey, is it alright if I feed before I leave?"
"Yeah, but Carlisle already has some blood ready. He got it last night at the hospital, two bags should do it right?" I nodded.
"Great, and where's that wolf?" I had met Ness's little future mate, granted he wasn't little he was a tall brawny boy with cropped black hair. Bella told me about his wolf-shifting, and his imprinting on Renesmee when she was born, I understood it fast though. Renesmee had a huge bond with Jacob, but it would get bigger when she got older.
"He's out with Renesmee, they went to see Emily and Sam's new baby." Two other members of the wolf tribe, well Sam was at least. Sam used to be an alpha of the only pack until Jacob embraced his own dominant nature, and now he was married with a baby. Love just flows so easily around this tiny area.
"When will they be back?"
"In a bit, they want to see you off. Alice will drive you to the airport, Jasper and Carlisle will go too."
"Oh, so I'll be saying goodbye to everyone else here?" Bella pulled me into a hug.
"Like I said, it's not goodbye. You keep in touch, just don't spill any secrets about the Volturi or we'll all be in trouble." I laughed and hugged back. "Kitty you're like my new sister, if you chose to stay that would've been cool but you're in love with Aro. You deserve to be happy."
"Thank you Bella, you're like my sister as well. As is everyone else here, not the boys but you know." She nodded smiling. "Maybe I could bring a little peace between the covens."
"Perhaps, but that's only if Aro likes your ideas."
"Well he has before, but you're right about me being a queen." I wasn't sure about the queen part, but only being with Aro made me happy. "Oh and, if you see that other coven later you can tell them I forgive their behavior from earlier. They had a reason to be rough, but just make sure they keep in check in the future. Don't want any accidental deaths here."
"Oh I will, Tanya was out of line, but she'll come around." I knew their story, so I couldn't hold them in contempt forever. "That's everything?" I nodded. "Then let's get these downstairs." She grabbed all the bags, all three of them, and ran downstairs. When I got there the whole family was at the bottom, right beside the front door.
"Hey." Esme came up and pulled me into a hug.
"Oh I wish you didn't have to leave so soon." She pulled away and then Edward hugged me.
"You're really a true vampire Kitty, you're just…well you're abnormal even for a vampire." I playfully shoved him.
"Oh shut up." I hugged Rosalie, who to my surprise hugged back like Esme had.
"I may have been rough on you, but you're not like the rest of the Volturi. I really will miss you." Fair enough, she still didn't fully trust me but I understood.
"It's ok, and I'll miss you too. I count you as the one sister I can't get along with." Emmett pulled me into a bear hug and spun me in the air.
"If you ever get tired of the Volturi, feel free to step in and have a brawl. You're by far the best opponent I've had in a while."
"Hey!"
"Sorry Jazz, but she's faster." I had to laugh. I had a few play-fights with Emmett here and he was fun, when he heard I liked video games he flipped and we became battle partners. Especially in sport games, they were his favorite.
"Hey maybe next time Jasper can join." We all laughed, and then I managed to hug both Renesmee and Jacob, who to my surprise slipped something on my other wrist. I looked and saw it was a black hand-woven bracelet, with a silver wolf's head at the beginning of the strap and the Cullen crest on the other end.
"Wow, thanks Jake." He smiled.
"Nessie helped make it, the crest was her idea." Renesmee hugged me again.
"I'll miss you Kitty."
"And I'll miss you, maybe I can convince Aro to let you all visit sometime." Carlisle smirked.
"I'm sure he'd like that one day. Now we'd better be going, your flight leaves soon." I had an hour, but it would be better to go now since the lines were so long.
"Alright." With last minute hugs and kisses again, Jasper and Alice grabbed my bags and led me to Carlisle's car. I took the front passenger side, they took the back and Carlisle drove; on the way I took in another look at the surroundings, I would miss this place, but there's no place like home.
"Aro will be happy to see you again, believe me." Alice winked at me.
"I hope so." I knew I loved Aro, but something still didn't feel right. It wasn't regret or anything, it was more like something was going to happen yet I couldn't figure out what. Soon enough we arrived, and Alice took my bags to the luggage area to let it be scanned. Jasper and Carlisle escorted me to the area where the plane would take off, right when Alice came over to meet us.
"You have a safe trip back Kitty, and tell us when you land ok?" all three of them hugged me.
"I will, thanks for everything you guys."
"Flight 276 to Volterra, Italy is now boarding all passengers please be ready." The intercom voiced over and I went behind a couple towards the door.
"Bye guys." I waved one more time.
"Bye, we love you." Alice smiled waving with the men.
"Love you too." I went through the door, straight to the plane and found my seat in first class. I had a window seat, so things would be clear for this trip.
"Attention passengers if you'll please take your seats and buckle up we will take off in just a few minutes." The flight attendant spoke over the intercom.
'I'll be back soon Aro.' I thought and fiddled with the bracelets, I remembered the date I had with Aro. I hope I could have another night and many more like that with him again.
"Excuse me miss, is this seat taken?" a man with a strange accent spoke up, but I didn't even look up.
"Uh no I don't think so." I looked out the window, but in the reflection I saw a pair of violet eyes and pale skin. "Who are you?" I whispered and turned around. The man was a vampire, I could tell through the contacts he was wearing, he had pale skin like me, white hair, and wearing lots of black leather.
"Forgive me, but once this plane lands I'm afraid you'll have to come with me." he wasn't one of the Volturi, and I recognized his accent as Romanian.
"You're…you're one of the Romanians." I didn't know his name, but I knew there was only a small coven in their area.
"Indeed so, and if you wish to see your lover again I suggest that you remain calm throughout this flight and come with me and my friend when we land." I didn't know what he meant until he pulled out a gold Volturi necklace, one that looked very much like Aro's.
In Volterra:
Aro's P.O.V.:
It's been almost a full month, and my dear Kitty's time was almost gone. I had been absolutely stone still since she left, no one could get me to move not even my sister. I fed when needed, but I would not move until the time was gone when Kitty would or wouldn't return.
Oh I missed her so much, I had been thinking about her the whole time she was gone. I remembered the night we shared and how happy she was when I gave her that Valentine's Day gift. Her smile was in my mind, her laughter, everything.
"Brother you have got to stop being so depressed, we're all certain Kitty will return." Didyme came to see me every day, and I had been in my study the whole time Kitty was gone.
"I won't, not until the time's up."
"Marcus and I both agree that Kitty will come back, she's your mate don't you believe us?" I turned to her.
"Of course I do, but I know how the Cullens can be. She'll probably be so happy there she might not want to return."
"Please stop that." She came up and hugged me. "I hate seeing you this way, please stop being so depressed." I hugged back. "You know she will return."
"I know, but I wish she were here now." I wanted to make her mine and mine alone, if she returned I would marry her if she wanted it. I would ravish and cherish her to no end, but if she didn't return I would keep my word and never go after her.
"She will be soon, believe me." she kissed my cheek and left me again. I knew that Kitty would return, but I still had my doubts. She'd been caged up her whole life, unloved and neglected, and if the Cullens could give her what I couldn't then I would respect her choice.
"Aro!" I turned around seeing Didyme back in the door. "Get to the throne room quick!"
"What's happening?" she grabbed my arm.
"We've got the Cullens on the phone, they say it's urgent." I let her pull me out of my study but I went ahead towards the throne room. Caius had the phone, and passed it to me.
"Hello?"
"Aro, it's Carlisle."
"Carlisle what's happened? Is it Kit-Catalina?"
"Yes, have you heard from her?" I pulled away from the phone and looked at my brothers.
"No we haven't she was not allowed to call until she returned." I heard gasping on the other end. "What was that?"
"Aro, Kitty left two days ago. She was coming back early." I nearly dropped the phone; Kitty was coming back so soon?
"It's true, she texted me around that time." Athenodora pulled out her phone and showed me the message.
"She should've been back already…" Marcus said.
"Is he certain she left two days ago?" Caius. "There might've been a delay." I stopped him and put my ear to the phone.
"Was there any delays you'd heard of?"
"No, the flight was fine. We heard no delays but…Alice what…?" I heard a scuffling sound.
"Aro! Aro it's Alice Kitty's in trouble!"
"In trouble, did you have a vision?"
"It was the Romanians, they were on the flight and I think they made Kitty leave. I couldn't hear the words they say, but they had necklace and it looked like yours. The Volturi pendant…" my eyes widened.
"Oh no…" I looked at Marcus.
"It had to have been Sulpicia, she…" she had a necklace like my own, I had it made for her when we mated.
"I think it was, I saw Sulpicia's face." I growled, I knew I should've killed her. "They must've tricked her into thinking they had you."
"Alice, do you know where they could be?"
"Not far from the city, but it's gotta be somewhere near water. Kitty might not be able to use her power, and I'm not sure but they might have newborns with them."
"Alice…"
"We're almost there, it's just me, Jasper, Carlisle, and Emmett. We can help."
"Alright, when can we expect you?"
"In an hour, just meet us at the airport."
"I'll send the guards, see you then." I hung up the phone and handed it back to Caius. "Sulpicia has made a pact with Vladimir and Stefan, they've made her think they kidnapped me and have taken her near water."
"There aren't that many watery areas around here, except…" Caius looked at Marcus. "The sea, there's some rocks along that area and caves."
"I know where, but Alice will need to look for us." Didyme. "I told you Kitty would return damn those Romanians."
"I shouldn't have doubted her, dammit!" I hit the wall. "I need to get to her."
"Aro you know they can't kill her, the only way for us to die is by fire."
"Yes but Kitty could still be in danger." I looked at everyone. "Assemble the rest of the guards; we're going on a little hunt. Felix, you, Alec, and Demetri go meet the Cullens and hurry back." They all went into action, and I rushed off to another room to get my cloak.
'Hang on Kitty, I'm coming for you.'
Hope you liked it, next one's the big battle between the Romanians and the Volturi and Cullens. Will have a little issue with Sulpicia, as it would be, all thanks to my friend AnnaBoleyna1536.
