Chapter 24: Yours Forever

The sky was a deep shade of grey and white flakes were slowly making their way to Earth as Felix and I ran to our next destination. It was December 24th and while we had been on the move constantly for weeks now we were able to take a break. It wasn't because it was the holidays, there was a horrible storm that was to arrive in the next few hours that would make tracking extremely difficult, even for us. Aro had arranged lodging for us nearby, one of their many houses they have placed throughout the world.

We had managed to find both Manual and Grigore the other day and they agreed to witness though I was not surprised. Luck was on our side as we came across two more nomads, Maral and Raymund, on the way. Right now we were in Bulgaria trying to make our way to Turkey to find Aras and Ileana. We would be leaving in a few days for god only knows where but I tried not to dwell on it. I was just happy we could have a break and I could spend time with Felix.

While I was aware it was almost Christmas I couldn't really find much enthusiasm for it. My thoughts couldn't help but linger on my mother. I had never had a holiday without her and not being able to see her, knowing how she is, was incredibly painful. While my memories of her continue to be fuzzy I was determined to remember her. When ever I was alone, especially those first few weeks, I spent them digging up my human memories. I wanted to imprint them permanently in my mind, I never wanted to forget all the human parts of my life. I missed her greatly.

I guess I must have looked spaced out because Felix nudged me slightly and I looked over at him to see him staring. "Penny for your thoughts?" he asked. I smiled a little.

"Just thinking about my mom and how this will be the first Christmas that I'm away from her." I said simply, hoping that he didn't notice the pain in my voice. He looked at me intently before nodding though I was sure he knew something was up but wished to give me some space. I would be forever grateful for him just knowing these things, knowing when to push me and when to stop. I gripped his hand tighter, hoping he understood and I soon received a squeeze back.

"We're coming up to the place now." He said after a few more minutes and I saw a nice farm house in the distance. I few miles beyond it I could see a small town. We began to slow our pace and soon we were walking up the front porch. I was about to ask how we were to get inside, without breaking something, when he opened the door. I looked at him questioningly. "Aro sent someone in advance to open it for us. All of the properties are maintained throughout the year by human employees." He said as he walked through the threshold, me a step behind him.

The place was much simpler and smaller than the placed we stayed at in Siberia but personally I preferred it. The walls were light colours but the crown molding, as well as several ceiling beams, were made of dark and natural wood. In the living room there was a large granite fireplace and some leather couches. I had decided that once we were here I would clean up and that included our clothes. While we may not perspire our clothes were still getting filthy and I had been dying to properly wash them. While Felix dialed Aro's number to give him an update I grabbed both our bags and began my search for a laundry room.

I found a set of stairs leading to a basement and soon found a room that contained the machines I needed. I was grateful there was soap there and gave a little laugh as I dumped everything in. Why couldn't it always like this? Just me in him leading a normal, well quasi normal, life. I sighed quietly. Once done I placed both our bags on top and went back upstairs to find Felix leaning casually in a door way his back to me but I could tell he was deep in thought. I walked up to him quietly and wrapped my arms around his waist. He turned around and enveloped me in a hug.

"I'm going to go for a shower and then head into town for a little while. I won't be gone long" He said after a moment. I looked up at his face confused and saw something hidden there.

"For what?" I asked.

He smirked, "Surprise, sorry." I scowled and laughed lightly placing a kiss on my lips. My arms wound around his neck and I pressed myself closer to him. After a few minutes he chuckled and mumbled against my lips. "I know what you're doing and it's not going to work…this time."

"Is that a challenge? If it is I'm pretty sure I would win." I asked, smiling. He pulled back and there was a gleam in his eyes. He took my face between his hands, forcing my hands to drop, and kissed me again. If it was up to me I would spend all my time kissing him. Soon, too soon, he dashed upstairs and I heard a door close. I stood there stunned for a second before stalking off towards the living room and falling onto the couch, my legs dangling off the arm. He tricked me and I started grumbling loudly to myself as I heard him laugh.

A little while later he came back down and walked into the living room. His look was apologetic and I glared at him as he placed his hand on my knee. "I won't be gone long. I'm sure you want to freshen up as well." He said simply. I was still miffed so I didn't respond, looking at a piece of artwork. He sighed and began walking towards the door. "Love you." He said quietly and my resolve wavered. I threw myself off the couch and launched myself at him wrapping my arms around the neck, kissing him. I let go and turned towards the stair case.

"You better be back soon." I said seriously and he laughed. I couldn't help but smile. "Love you to." I said in a gentler tone and began my accent up the steps as the door closed behind him. He was right, a shower was most definitely in order and I found the nearest bathroom. As I walked in I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I turned towards it. As I stared at myself in the mirror I realized this was the first time I really looked at my own reflection in months. While I still felt I was staring at a stranger I couldn't help but smile at the fact that my eyes were indeed no longer the blazing ruby they once were. It made me think of what Felix called me a few weeks ago, pumpkin. I laughed lightly.

POV: Felix

I walked down the main street of the small town as I looked at the many shops. The wind was picking up and the snow was coming more forcefully now. Many had already closed for the day, if they even opened up at all, so my choices were limited. What was I doing here? I wanted to get Anna something but to be honest I had no idea what. I had to admit that when I came up with this plan originally I didn't really think it through. All I knew is that she was upset earlier even if she didn't want to talk about it. I thought maybe a Christmas present may brighten her mood but now that I was here I was…lost.

As I browsed through windows I could tell immediately what she wouldn't like but nothing was jumping out at me either. I wasn't used to this. I hadn't celebrated this holiday since 1922 when Aro decided that he was in the mood for 'some holiday cheer'. It had been even longer since I had bought a gift for anyone, especially for someone so special to me. I was out of my element. I sighed, frustrated.

I walked past a small jewelry shop and looked into the window at the shimmering objects. Anna did not seem like a jewelry person, at least nothing that was too conventional and corny. She liked doing things rather than receiving gifts but at the moment I couldn't take her anywhere. If we were back at Voltera I could take her back to that waterfall, she seemed to generally love it there. I would take her there when we got back. For now I decided to walk in and hope that I would find something here.

As I walked in I caught the faint scent of several human's, most likely customers, and the strong scent of the woman behind the counter. She was old, maybe in her seventies, and she had on a simple red dress on. She looked up as I came in and smiled though her eyes widened a bit in shock as she took in my appearance. I was used to it after all this time. I was grateful that my eyes had that golden tinge to them at the moment, I always hated contacts and avoided wearing them at all costs, annoying things. I thought back to why my eyes were this colour and smiled. I had told Anna the truth that night, that there were no people near by and I was thirsty but what I failed to mention was I was hoping it soften her up a bit. I think it may have worked and worth the horrible taste. I found myself drifting back to that amazing night but was soon brought back by the woman's voice.

"Is there something I could help you with?" the woman asked politely as she walked up to me. Though she was polite and smiling I could tell she was keeping a bit of distance and was nervous. While I was not thirsty she still appealed to me and she had every right to stay away, even if she wasn't sure why.

"I'm not sure. Just browsing I guess." I said simply. I started glancing around the store, a bit uncomfortable. Once again nothing was jumping out at me.

"Who is the gift for? A girl perhaps?" she asked sweetly. I smiled as I thought of Anna and the woman nodded understanding. "Well do you know if she has any preferences? Shapes, sizes, gold or silver, gem stone, bracelet or necklace." She inquired. I thought about it for a moment but I didn't know. I hadn't thought to ask her these things and I felt a bit guilty. I knew her so well yet I didn't. I decided to go on my gut and what I did know.

"Something simple and definitely silver." She didn't strike me as the gold kind of person. "Nothing..." I searched for a word. "chessy like a heart." I felt like a moron but the woman nodded and thought for a moment. She smiled and went to the back of the store retrieving a square blue box and walking back. She opened the lid and I looked inside.

"How about these, they are quite popular with couples and can be engraved if you wish." She looked at me before adverting her gaze back to the objects, clearly uncomfortable yet courteous all the same. I smiled, they were prefect.

"I'll take them." I said quietly as she closed the box and began walking back to the counter.

"I think you made a good choice. You are sure doing your shopping late." She said in a light yet chiding tone.

"Been moving around a lot for work." I said replied and she smiled apologetically. It was weird conversing with her and while I couldn't help but think of her as food I also saw her as a person now, something I never really did before. I was guessing it was Anna's influence.

"Would like to have them engraved here or take them as is?" She asked. I pondered for a moment, thinking on what to put on them. I was never one for words, especially the kind of words I wished to express when I thought of her. I decided to keep it simple once again. I looked up at the helpful woman as I began telling her what I wish it to say.

Here goes nothing.

-----------------------Con't of chap, New Perspective--------------------------------

POV: Anna

I was sitting the floor, my head resting on my knees and in a bath robe as I watched the flames dance around lightly in the fire place. My hair was dry and my clothes in the washing so I had nothing to do until Felix came back and I was getting impatient. The snow was falling faster now, the citizens were going to get a white Christmas that was for sure.

I was terribly curious to what Felix was doing but I tried not to dwell on it too much, I was just going to agitate myself. So I sat there thinking about my past Christmases and even though they weren't very clear I couldn't help but smile. I felt Felix's presence and soon I heard a car pull up into the side garage. I had learned that not only did the Volturi keep houses stashed throughout this planet but each came with a car or two. I stood up as he walked through the door, snow piled up on his broad shoulders.

I walked up to him, brushing some of the snow off and taking his hand, feeling remarkably better. I noticed a small package in his other hand but I decided to let it wait for a moment. He smiled as I pulled him with me to the couch, pushing him down and sitting on his lap. "So, this is what you left me for. What is it?" I asked, touching the little box. I looked at his face and he seemed a bit nervous and maybe even a bit embarrassed though I didn't know why.

"It's a Christmas gift." He said simply handing me the box. My eyes widened.

"Felix you didn't. I don't need anything." I said gently. I was torn between annoyance and awe at his actions. He tries so hard when he doesn't need to.

"I wanted to, and beside it's also kind of gift for me." I raised an eye brow in confusion. "Open it and see." His eyes were fixed on my face, clearly nervous for my reaction. I took off the wrapping and held the blue box in my hand for a moment before opening the lid slowly.

Inside the velvet were two necklaces, each resembling fancier and silver versions of military dog tags. I picked them both up and placed them on my palm as the chains dangled between my fingers. One was larger than the other and was a simple rectangle, obviously meant for Felix. The other was smaller and had a very simple but elegant boarder around the edge, definitely mine. Each was engraved with the same message. Suyo Para Siempre. I turned them around to the back revealing more engraving. On his it had AEG, clearly my initials and mine had FRB. They were beautiful and I was sure if I could cry I would, I was deeply touched. They were perfect.

I looked up at his expectant face and smiled widely. He let out a rush of air that he had been holding. "Felix…thank you! It's perfect," I said warmly as I quickly slipped the chain over my neck before doing the same to him. I pulled his face towards me and gave him a quick but passionate kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too and you're welcome." He said, stroking my hair.

"I'm curious though, what does this engraving mean?" I asked as I ran my fingers gently over the small words. I wasn't entirely sure what language it was but it looked Italian or maybe Spanish. "Suyo Para Siempre." I said quietly to myself, probably pronouncing the words completely wrong. He laughed.

"Suyo Para Siempre, it means 'Yours Forever' is Spanish." He pronounced it perfectly and I had to admit that it was incredibly sexy hearing him speak Spanish. I couldn't believe I never asked him to do so before, I knew he was from Spain but I never thought to ask. I was about to rectify that mistake.

"Say something else in Spanish." I said quickly, my face millimeters from his. He laughed.

"Why?" His eyes were confused yet amused.

"Because I like the way it sounds." I placed a kiss on his neck and inhaling deeply, I loved the way he smelled. It was hard to describe, it reminded me of maple, brown sugar and vanilla though there was a slight musk to it. I doubt i'd ever get it right but I didn't care, all I knew was that is was my favorite smell in the world.

"What do you want me to say." He was definitely amused but I could tell he was going to play along.

"Anything." I said. His arms tightened around me and I felt his breath by my ear.

"Usted es mi vida." He whispered and I smiled even though I had no idea what he was saying. He started placing kisses along my neck. "Usted es la mujen mas hermosa yo jamas he visto." He paused and I could feel his lips crazing along my colar bone. My breathing was becoming uneven.

"More." I whispered. I sounded like a five year old but I didn't care, I wanted to hear his voice again. He chuckled.

"Usted es distante a tentar su propio bien." Before he could continue I kissed him passionately. After a few minutes I pulled away, both of us breathing quickly. "Si supe que usted adoraba audicion que mi hablo espanol tanto me habria hecho esta mucho antes." Though he sounded a little breathless while saying it was still unbelievably alluring.

I grinned as I looked at him before putting my lips by his ear, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I whispered seductively. We had yet to be together since that first night and this need I felt for him wasn't almost unbearable. Suddenly I was air born as he threw me over his shoulder. "Felix! Put me down!" I said loudly, smacking his back. He just laughed as he bounded up the stairs quickly and into a bed room, slamming the door shut with his foot.

He placed me back down, pulling me close and kissing me as we edged our way over the bed. My hands went for his shirt but suddenly his hand clasped down on my wrists stopping me. I pulled back and looked at him confused. He grinned at me mischievously and pulled away completely. My eyes narrowed and a small growl escaped my mouth as he walked backwards.

"What are you doing?" I asked frustrated.

"I don't want to ruin this outfit, I didn't bring many to begin with." He said simply though it seemed like he was trying not to laugh. He slowly starting undoing the buttons on his shirt, very very slowly. Little by little a bit more of his chest was revealed and I couldn't look away. I took an involuntary step forward, desperate for him but he held up a hand telling me to stop. Once he was done he pulled it off and dropped it lightly on the floor. He raised he arms like he was stretching and my eyes raked over him as it further served to showcase his body. His new necklace lay gracefully across his chest, taunting me further. I slumped against the best post.

"Why are you doing this to me? This is torture." I said. Did he not realize how irasistable he was?

He grinned, "Surely there are worse ways to be tortured." My eyes widened the then narrowed when I realized what he was doing. This was pay back for my little tease when he was on the phone with Aro, using my own words against me. Well two can play at this game.

I made my way slowly towards the door, "Alright, since you don't seem to be interested in me tonight I'll go watch some TV. I'm sure they have some interesting holiday special on." I said lightly. My hand was on the door knob when I heard his low growl and felt his arms around me. Before I knew it I was on the bed as he perched himself on top of me, one hand entangling in my hair as the other went for the arch in my back. He crushed his lips to mine as I pulled him closer. I win.

We made quick work of the clothes and as the storm outside increased in intensity as did we. I felt the chain dangling off his neck graze across my body lightly, reminding me why this moment was perfect and why I was here with him.

"I'm yours…forever." I whispered.

Sooo, what did you guys think? I wanted a Felix and Anna moment, no Volturi, no mission, and no interruptions…just them. I never meant for this to become a big romance story but it really is turning into that isn't lol. We'll be visiting the lovely Olympic Penensula next chapter, the show down is approaching ppl :D.
