She is short, and she doesn't have a lot of Aro, Marcus, and Caius in this one. However I believe ths impact of this chapter will shape the rest of Venus's story. Now, there will not be much more to this story maybe one or two more chapters, but Venus will be back in the future don't worry. She has more stories to tell.
Venus sighed softly, as she walked alongside Alec and Jane. They were silent as they moved about the garden, the humans scent having changed due to her newly completed bond. Which meant, every vampire in the world would know her status in their world as well. The sun falling upon her cheeks did little to settle her worries of the future.
"Ve? Are you alright?" Alec asked softly, as she turned to them. Their skin sparkled in the natural light, as she smiled softly at them both.
Venus did not answer however, as she turned back to the beautiful garden around them. Admiring the way everything seemed to be much brighter in the wake of the early afternoon. "I am well." She finally spoke. "Excited to start the classes, Marcus promised all those years ago. However, I do worry about the future."
Jane eyed her very human Queen. "You worry how the rest of the vampire world will view you?" She asked.
"You have always been perceptive Jane, I admire that about you." Venus whispered softly. "I always have."
"I thank you, but that avoids my inquiry." The "younger" looking guard stated simply.
Venus sighed, her nostrils flaring slightly as a little annoyance set in. "I am, I know a few of the Covens from what happened with Renesmee. However I do not know all of them, and they do not know me." She explained softly, pausing briefly to swallow down a bit of her nerves. "I know some have very little respect for human lives, so I do not think I will be perceived well. However I do not wish to hide."
Nodding his head Alec spoke thoughtfully. "Have you discussed your weary with Master Aro?"
"Not yet, we only just completed our bond after all." Venus replied softly. "Something I would never wish to change." Her eyes grew far away, in such a short two years, the young woman and Queen before the witch twins had gone through many changes. The newest was being married in the eye of a vampire.
Alec almost felt honored to have witnessed the mere short growth of his Queen, but he knew he had caused some of this maturity. Both he and his sister, left their once close friend in the dark. Having been a few months since Venus, Felix, and Demetri returned and still neither of the three had returned to interact with the two who stayed behind. "Venus, my Queen." He finally spoke, his voice almost quiet. "I know you were thrust upon this world, with little choice. However your choices that you've made since, have been noticed."
Her dark brown eyes met him closely, but his sister jumped in; before Venus could speak. "Your sacrifice for your sister, when you first joined us. You spoke to us, as if you had no fear in the world." Jane told her. "You had no idea what the Masters could have done to you as soon as your sisters and brother walked out. They could have gone back on their word and killed you, locked you in the dungeons. No doubt you thought they would at first-"
"No." Venus cut her off. "I knew Aro wasn't going to kill me, I just knew in my heart I was safe with him." A laugh escaped her plump lips. "Guess now I know why."
"You sought forgiveness when Jane was asked to test your abilities." Alec said once again. "You had no idea if we would forgive you or not, but you asked for it and even embraced my sister."
Venus went silent at this. "I liked both of you off the bat, you were serious about your positions; but still very kind in your hearts."
"That." Jane spoke up. "That is what we are talking about, you are just as perceptive as I am. If not more."
Her brother nodded beside her. "This was just all in the beginning, you joked around with Felix and Demetri both. Never showed an ounce of fear for what did you call him, BFG?"
Venus cracked a smile at this. "Big fucking giant. I remember."
"You will be an amazing Queen for us, because of who you are. Do not bother yourself with what other Covens think, for we know you will be great." Jane spoke. "Swift, fearless, kind, honest, stern but understanding. These are all qualities of a good Queen, and we will gladly fight with everything we have for you. In all our fifteen hundred years, we will give that all up to keep you safe."
Tears sprang to the brown eyes, as her arms wrapped around both of the Twins. "I don't know what I would do without you two."
"Be stuck with Demetri's and Felix's antics for eternity." Alec replied with a laugh.
Venus chuckled. "We couldn't have that."
"Demetri, I feel insulted." The voice of Felix spoke, making the three look up and grin at the other two elite guards.
"Shut it BFG, you and Sexy Italian are still great in my books." Their Queen told them, causing them to both preen happily.
"Why thank you, Venus." Demetri replied. "However, we are not the only ones who overheard your conversation."
Looking up, Venus saw her mates over looking from their shared balcony. Waving up to them, to see Marcus return the gesture; while Aro motioned her to come and join them. "Well I guess I better go speak with them."
"They will tell you the same thing, Jane and Alec did." Felix told her. "You are destined to be the greatest Queen this world has ever known." Humbled by his words, Venus walked away from the four guards as they took the remaining time to speak with one another. She moved back to the bedroom that held her amazing mates within.
I think Jane and Alec were perfect for this chapter, to prepare you for what lies in the future. I hope you all agree. Now, as was said in the beginning authors note. This story is coming to an end, and by this story I mean just the first of Venus's story. Their will be a sequal, with more to see.
