It was odd this new feeling that was slowly gliding into my mind and over body, it was as if I had been awaken, that I had found out every secret about myself that I did not know of. All it took was a vision that made practically no sense, well it made sense but it was just a shock to my being. Feelings I never knew I had for Caius slowly exposed themselves to me forcefully.
It was raining and here I was sitting in the front seat of a silver volvo, the same volvo I basically ruined, but from what my eyes could see, which was with extreme detail the car seemed brand new. There were no injuries to the car what so ever.
"I see you had time to get your car fixed before you ever thought about saving my life." My voice involuntarily spoke with hints of sarcasm. "Now I am definitely not sorry for all the damages I did to it and will not pay you."
Edward was of course driving, it was his car, why I got shot gun who knows, everyone just piled in, well those who chose to ride with Edward. His pale hands gripped at the steering wheel tightly and looking away from the road he looked at me.
"Acacia, we did not fix it up we simply purchased a new one." His jaw was tight.
I rolled my eyes and he shook his head with annoyance.
"Please non of this bickering you two do." Rosalie argued. "It gets tiring and quite annoying."
"why don't you stop bickering in general." I stated under my breath. "You never have anything to say that is reasonably worthy to listen to, its always negative, I get enough of that from Caius."
After hearing myself say Caius's name I quickly clamped my hand over my mouth. If I was human I would be bright red.
Looking in the rearview mirror I saw Rosalie open her mouth to speak.
"Okay how about we all just remain quiet." Alice insisted. "We get that we are all stressed okay, this arguing is not making any of it better."
We were in forks on our way to the Cullen's house. A place where we would all meet up and discuss a plan in finding the one and only Bella.
Edward parked his car and we all got out, instantly I went to the trunk and yanked my bag out one at a time. They were big and heavy, but I was able to carry them.
"Here let me help you." Alec called jogging over toward.
The rain still hadn't led out and I was now feeling it sink into my clothing, I felt my top stick to my chest grossly. My jeans began to feel heavy and I knew my make-up was running, if I were human I would probably be looking really gross right now.
"No I have Alec." Assured him walking toward the front door. He still did not leave my side. "Alec really I have them."
Suddenly my bags were snatched away from me. I turned toward the one beside me and shouted. "I said I had them!"
I quickly clamped a hand over my mouth and realized it was Caius. He continued to walk ahead as I just stood there out in the rain allowing myself to continue getting drenched. I really hated this weather.
'What was up with him?' I asked myself. 'what did I do to deserve such kindness from a guy who lacks the understanding of what kindness was.'
Alice appeared in the door frame.
"Are you going to come in Acacia." She called out.
"Just give me a minute I really haven't been out side that much in a while." I shouted back at her.
Her eyes went serious on me.
"I'm not going to run away, I wouldn't want to run away here anyways." I laughed.
Alice closed the door shut and I was finally all alone outside where as everyone one else was inside discussing important things I suppose.
I lifted my head up to the sky and breathed in the damp warm air of a summer shower, the rain didn't feel as good as I remember it did when I was human. Ever since I had become a vampire it was as if my skin was either really sensitive or numb. Currently it was in that in between stage.
Suddenly the front door opened again then shut, my face was to the sky so I did not know who it was. I breathed smelling a scent that I knew all too well from my vision then closed my eyes.
"We need to talk." A voice spoke sternly. "Now."
"Ugh I don't think so." I argued. It was Caius.
"I need to know what your vision was about." His voice went calm. "I want to know."
I shook my head and lowered it looking into his red eyes. The rain was soaking him as well, but he was with out his leather jacket. The top he wore was not sticking to his lean chest.
"You want or need does not concern me." I snapped beginning to walk away from him.
"As you Volturi leader I order you to tell me what you saw." he shouted water dripping into his mouth.
"Are you seriously pulling that one on me here?" I asked shifting my weight to one leg and crossing my arm. My hair fell flat against my back and shoulders.
"Then tell me this, what led you to run away from me?" He ask tossing his flat wet hair with his hands. He looked so human here and was acting like a teen with a case of the angst virus if you were to ask me.
"It was nothing thats why no one needs to know about it." I assured him calming myself down. I began to walk away again towards the back of the house.
"I'm following you." he stated quietly behind me.
"I don't understand why." I rolled my eyes.
My shoes were sinking into the wet grassy ground. I tried to get away from Caius as quickly as possible but I didn't want to slip on the ground or worse in mud.
"Can you just go away." I shouted quickening my pace.
"I wont."
"Ugh." My pace getting quicker. Turning my head I shot him a glare his response was a lifted brow and his usual scowl, but he continued toward me. "Oh yes continue making your usual scowl its so becoming."
Turning my head back my boots came into contact with a hard object and I went stumbling over. When I stopped I looked around to see I had fallen into a huge mud puddle.
"Okay thats just great!" I cursed. "Thank you so much!"
A rich laughter sprung out of Caius.
"Really?" I asked. "Really are you going to laugh at this?"
He continued to laugh at me.
"Unless you don't want this mud to end up on you, your laughter will stop."
He began to laugh louder.
"I think I like you better when you were quiet and a stiff prick!"
Still sitting in the mud puddle I gathered some mud in my hands and tossed it toward Caius. His laughter stopped with it landed on his white top.
"Yeah you don't find it so funny now do you?" I began to laugh at him while gathering more mud in my hands.
He quickly appeared before me with an evil look upon his face, his eyes went cat like.
"Are you not going to speak."
"That was uncalled for." He hissed.
"I think not." I chucked more mud at him. It was all over his jeans. "Now this is worth laughing at."
I began to laugh, it was a good hardy laugh that made me feel good. I guess it was a real laugh a laugh worth continuing until it hurt, but I was not going to hurt from it.
Suddenly Caius's hand came into contact with my face slapping mud on it.
"Aren't you a little old to be playing like this?" I grunted wiping it away from my face.
"Actually I am 20." He stated
"Looks 20, but you are actually ancient." I taunted.
That was it I really made him angry. He leapt on top of me smashing my back into the mud once again. I tried to push him off of me but he held me tight against the ground. His eyes staring back down at me like he was trying to see the vision I had saw earlier on the plane.
"Get off of me." I growl. "Look what you did, I'm covered in mud!"
His lips went into a smirk.
"I am as well." He added. "You deserved this, now you can't wear that top ever again."
"What is that suppose to mean. Okay death to the damn striped crop top." I spat. "I wont wear it ever again as long as you don't wear that top ever again. White looks terrible on you!"
Catching him off guard I flipped Caius into the mud, now his back side was covered in mud. Climbing on top of him I straddled him with my legs around his waist keeping him down then gathered mud into my hands.
"No!" he shouted with big eyes. "I order you not to do anything."
The mud slapped onto his chest quickly, then I swirled it all around even moving to his stomach. Why wasn't he trying to get me off of him? Gathering more mud and laughing I brought it to his neck, his cold smooth neck.
"Okay that is is." He laughed. He actually laughed as if he was a happy person.
He knocked me off of him and stood up I quickly got to my feet as well. He bent down and grabbed mud and I did as well. Then we came at each other, mud went in to my hair, beneath my shirt as well with Caius with his blond hair and white shirt.
Slipping on mud both Caius and I fell. He landed on top of me. I just laid there still waiting for him to get off of me. His eyes locked with mine made me feel strange. He began to lean in towards my face and I didn't move at all. He got closer and closer until I felt his cool breath upon my neck and his scent filled my nose. His delicious scent.
"What was the vision about?" He whispered randomly stopping only centimeters away from my mouth.
I quickly turned my head to the images replaying my head. Then swiftly pushed Caius off of me. I jumped to my feet and walked toward the front of the house.
"Acacia." he called out behind me.
"Start acting like your original self Caius and leave me the hell alone." I snapped, I sounded so hateful.
"Acacia?" A voice came from the front door. It was Esme. "What happened to you?" she asked.
"Ask your Volturi leader who forgot his real age." I snapped seeing Caius was behind me.
Esme bowed her head at Caius.
"I will fetch some towels." Esme stated. "I don't want mud in the house so you are going to have to use the hose on the side of the house. Then you can come in and take a shower."
"Ugh."
Esme vanished then returned with two towels.
"I will go first, Caius stay here." I shouted. I was angry.
It didn't take long to dispose of the clothing, I left all of it in a pile near the hose, bra and all. It was just gross all of the mud on me. After rinsing off I walked back toward the front door. Caius was outstretched on the lawn staring up at the sky.
"Hey!" I shouted. "You can go rinse off."
He perked up latching his eyes upon my skin, barely cover with a towel.
"Quit staring and go." I shouted. "What is up with you?"
"Its not like I haven't seen you without clothes before." He whispered seductively. Sounding much like he did in my vision. "Remember I am the one who made you who you are now. Bites and all."
Before I could say anything he vanished.
So I know the plot is not mainly only about Caius and Acacia, but really it is. I mean yes of course Its about finding Bella, but the main "thing" in this story is the relationship of Caius and Acacia forming and such. So if the whole bit with Bella is slowed down and you don't like that I am sorry, but thats how I am gonna role from now on.
I really enjoyed this chapter, as in writing it...Caius is different....in a good way, but mister nice guy is going to change...but I did enjoy the whole interactions with caisu and acacia in this chapter.
it was a fun chapter.
also I know I should not advertise this, but I now have gotten my fiction press account working and such and have a story up and if you are interested in the story...its a romance/supernatural type story...nothing with vampires or the werewolf kind. But I am really getting into it. I will post a link on my profile. I think you all will like it.
Blackened Lilly: I'm sorry it tricked you, I was just trying to continue to where I left off. I'm glad it was "grin worthy" I was totally grinning the whole time I was writing it! ;) The rest of the Volturi still seem absent but they will have a voice in the nect chapter, they should anyways. Thank you for reading and reviewing!
Reyelle: I have a nice little set up going on here, I hope this chapter I just posted was good enough of a way that Caius confronts here, but I have a plan with the story where she confesses to Caius what she saw in the vision...it will be juciey! My heart lys with impressionistic and post impressionistic art work. As cliche as it can sometimes sound I am a huge fan of Monet, some of my favorite pieces by him are of the Parliment building in london. Love the use of color! I am a fan of modern art one of my favorite artists is Salvador Dali, big fan of surrealism, it just latches on the mind and makes you think. Abstract art I am 50/50 with. too much to talk about! But yeah I guess its too soon for me to be about to choose my favorite artist as well.
CheetahBlackCat: thank you! :)
VampWolfGirl09: haha thank you! :)
natsumi456: I wouldn't call her dumb, she just doesn't want to believe it or go with her feelings...or what people are tell her.
twiishq: haha thank you! :) I'm glad you like it.
