Sorry y'all, I completely forgot it was Sunday yesterday! Hope you all had an amazing Easter, and enjoy!

Peyton's POV

"Come back and visit soon." Carlisle hugs me tightly, his words making smile sadly.

"Definitely will, Dad. I'll let you all know when I talk to the Ancients about visiting." I murmur to him. I squeeze him briefly before pulling away.

"Hey, Valerie, you sure you don't want to stay? Since Peyton is going back, you're the next person here who knows the most about cars." Rosalie grins.

"Sorry, Rosie, but I have a good feeling about Italy. I think I'll find the one there finally." My scarlet haired friend replies.

"Alright then." Rosalie nods in understanding. "Good luck finding her."

"Thank you." Valerie smiles.

"Patrick, it was nice to meet you." Esme pulls my brother into a hug. "I'm glad you and Peyton are now reunited."

"Thank you, Mrs. Cullen." Patrick responds politely.

"Please call me Esme." My adoptive mother states kindly.

"Thank you, Esme." My brother repeats, an obvious smile on his face.

"Well, I hate to break this up, but you all will miss your flight if you don't leave soon." Bella chimes in.

"Alright, I love you guys, and Nessie, I'll visit soon, sweet pea." I pull my niece into a hug.

"Stay safe and kick Cole's ass." Emmett cuts in.

"Oh definitely." I agree. Demetri tenses beside me, his arm wrapping around my waist protectively.

"Love you, Peyton. Safe travels. It was nice to see you again, Valerie and Demetri, and nice to meet you, Patrick." Carlisle says.

"Okay, okay. Love you all and stay out of trouble. No more foreign coven visits." I joke starting towards the car.

"We'll try." Alice chirps. "Goodbye!"

"Bye!" I disappear inside the car, slipping into the backseat. Demetri joins me to my left with Patrick in front and Valerie driving.

The car ride is silent. Demetri keeps a hand on my like I would disappear any second. Eventually, I curl myself into his body, leaning my head on his shoulder as his arm goes to the side of my thigh.

I love you, he mouths, a small smile on his face.

And I love you.

"Y'all are so freaking in love." Valerie cuts in, a huge grin on her face that I could see in the mirror. "Like seriously."

"Have they always been like this?" Patrick asks, turning in his seat to face my mate and I.

"Not always." I answer for Valerie. "Before I left, it wasn't anything like this."

"At least they're not making out in the backseat." Valerie chuckles, her eyes going back to the road.

"Ugh, my baby sister and her mate in the backseat? Yuck." Patrick sticks his tongue out.

"Just wait until you find your mate. You'll want them all the time." Demetri states, looking me straight in the eyes.

If I was human, I would be as red as a tomato.

"So, Patrick, how did you know to come to Forks?" Valerie questions, dancing us around a car.

"That's hard to explain, really." My brother states sheepishly. "I sort of felt her distress, which I'm guessing was from her leaving Demetri. I told Cole that she was going back to Forks and scouted ahead to try and warn her. Cole caught up to me before I could."

"Wait, you could feel my distress? How did you not know I was alive before all this?" I question.

"I never knew what it was. It was always mild before, but the second you left your mate, I felt it double. I didn't even know you were alive until Cole confirmed it." Patrick answers.

"Weird." I mutter. "I never saw anything about you, even on the way. I wonder if you're blocked from me."

"You never saw anything?" Patrick asks, confused. "What do you mean by saw."

"Oh, shit, you don't know." I can't help but chuckle. "I am a seer. I can see the past, present, and future, but I can't see anything directly concerning myself."

"Wait, seriously?" Patrick gasps. "Damn, that's pretty cool."

"What about you, brother? You have any tricks?" I chuckle, swatting away Demetri's hand that had traveled too far up my thigh.

"I can project your worst fear upon you in a vision, of sorts. It's similar to, I think her name was Zafrina's, power." He explains.

"That seems a bit too powerful." I giggle.

"Well, I can't see what the fear is, I can only project it." He smiles back at me. "What about you Valerie?"

"Don't want to include your good buddy Demetri?" My mate asks, a smirk on his face. I shake my head.

"Please, everyone knows of your ability. The Volturi's gifts are known by everyone. I have heard you are the best tracker that has ever existed." My brother teases.

"I have a gift of persuasion, if you don't already know. I look into your eyes and tell you want I want you to do, and, boom, I can make you do whatever you want." Valerie replies.

"And my power's too powerful?" Patrick jokes, turning back to me.

"Well, you did nearly make me have a meltdown." Demetri replies. I whirl to face him.

"Excuse me? Patrick, what did you do to him?" I try to keep my voice calm, but instead, a small growl came out. I loved my brother, but hurt my mate, crap will happen.

"He told me to, little sister. Calm down." Patrick consoles. I snuggle into Demetri's neck, his touch calming me down quickly.

"It's fine, love. I did tell him to do so, just to keep Valerie from experiencing it." Demetri murmurs, his lips kissing my cheek reassuringly.

"Okay." I whisper, feeling guilty at growling at my brother. "Sorry, Pat."

"It's fine, Peyton." He states warmly. "Besides, I would do the same thing."

Demetri's phone buzzes, a text displayed on the screen. It was from an unknown number.

"The jet is now at the air strip. Valerie, how long do you think it'll be until we arrive so the pilot can prepare?" He questions, his eyes directed to his phone.

"Maybe another ten minutes, maybe less." Valerie answers.

"Tell the pilot eleven minutes." I state, rolling my eyes jokingly.

"Thank you." Demetri texts, his hand wrapping around my waist. We were already close, but somehow, we became even closer.

Patrick glances back, winking. I can't help but smile. It has been so long since I had this little bubble of happiness, and I had finally gotten it back.

With my luck, Cole would shatter it all.

-o-

"So, Patrick, welcome to Volterra, the home of the Volturi. We'll have to meet with the Ancients before we show you around, and of course you'll have to be evaluated, but I think you'll like it here." I smile at my brother, wrapping an arm around his waist. His own arm wraps around my shoulders.

"Sounds good." Patrick states, grinning.

"Demetri will be your tour guide while I meet with the Ancients." I turn to my mate, waving to him.

"Actually, I can't, love. I have an errand to run." Demetri tells us, tucking his hands in his pockets. "I'm sorry."

"No, it's fine. Valerie, that's your job then, if you don't mind. I should be out by the time it's over." I smile.

"I gotcha, Peyt. Just figure this shit out. Come on, Patty." Valerie loops her arm around Patrick's, dragging him from me.

"Thanks, Val!" I call. "And Patrick, I'll see you later!"

"Alright, D, do you know if-" I turn to look for my mate, only to find I was alone. I sigh, starting towards the elevators. Briefly, sunlight is cast upon my skin, casting diamonds.

I quickly press the correct button, tapping my foot as I listen to all the gears turning and the eventual screeching halt. As I step out of the elevator, I'm immediately knocked back in.

"You're back!" Jane cries, and I realize the girl had wrapped her arms around my stomach and tacked me to the floor. I start to laugh.

"Hey, Janey." I wrap my arms around her, hugging her tightly. "Come on, let's stand up."

I pull us up, patting her cheek happily. "I missed you too."

"Peyton!" Another form knocks me to the floor, in the exact same position as I was a second ago.

"And hello to you, Alec." I laugh. "Now, get up so I can hug you two properly."

Both Jane and Alec take an arm to pull me up. I'm enveloped my both of them into a group hug, one that I missed.

"How have y'all been?" I ask, pulling back to see the both of them.

"Alec nearly kidnapped a human girl around his age because he was curious." Jane replies quickly. Alec swats her arm.

"Shut up." Alec hisses. I start to chuckle.

"Interesting, interesting. I see we've all had some weird experiences." I smile. "Sorry y'all, but I've got to talk to the Ancients about some of the crap that happened with Cole."

"Just let us kill him. We want revenge for him hurting you." Jane speaks innocently.

"Can't promise anything, Janey, Al. I think Demetri has already taken that upon himself. I'll make sure you can get a few punches in on him and his followers." I tell them.

"Deal. Also, can we go shopping this week?" Jane babbles.

"I'll talk to Aro, and Alec, how does bowling sound after shopping?" I turn my attention to the boy.

"As long as there is a bookstore at some point, I'm down." Alec smiles.

"Alright, I'll talk to him in there and I will see you two later." I wave goodbye, starting towards the little hole that was considered the 'back entrance' of the throne room.

The second I drop down into the dark tunnels, I can't help but feel a sense of home.

-o-

"Not that one either, sir?" The attendant leans over the counter, trying to bare her cleavage. She glances up to my eyes, attempting to bite my lip seductively.

I found the whole thing hilarious, especially since she had no clue that I was a vampire and the fact that she didn't know I was taken. And permanently, for that matter.

"May I ask, who are you buying for? I could help you a bit more." Her voice told me that she didn't want to just help me with the jewelry.

"I'm buying for my girlfriend. She's a bit of an old soul and artist." I reply. The woman's eyes widen as her heartbeat quickens.

"Okay then." She nods, avoiding my eyes. I start to look down in the glass cases, searching every necklace until I found the one.

"Can I look at that one?" I ask, my eyes narrowing at the golden locket. The attendant nods, unlocking the case and hands me the necklace.

It was the exact same as the one I had dreamed in Forks.

It was gold, but sturdy, enough that when we go on missions, it wouldn't fly off her neck. The locket was an oval, with intricate rose vines around the oval with a single small ruby.

"Is there any way I can have that ruby replaced with an emerald?" I question, seeing that it was perfect minus the ruby.

"I'd have to send it in and it'd take about a week." The girl answers.

"I'll take it." I answer. I pull out my wallet, glancing at my cash and cards.

"Oh, okay. That'll be 1,995.00 plus 399 for tax." Her eyes wander to my face when she thinks I'm not looking.

"Here you go." I quickly hand her my card. "I expect to pick it up in a week."

"Uh, yes sir." She stutters, ringing me up. She begins to write something on my receipt. "I'll have the necklace ready by next week."

I nod, smiling and quickly take the receipt. At the top, I see a series of numbers.

"Ma'am, I appreciate it, and you're a beautiful woman, but I've already found my one." I state. "Have a good day." I take a look at my watch before I leave the shop.

She was back, my Peyton, my princess. And I planned on showing her how much I loved her.
