Cordy woke up only to find herself laying on a large bed with red satin sheets. The decor of the room was vintage. Almost reminded her of a rococo style with the elegance of the room. So...it hadn't all been a dream. She was here, in Italy, with three men who had made confessions of love to her only..wait...how long had she been sleeping. She quickly found her phone on a charging stand at the bedside table. She turned it on only to see the date. Two days...she had been asleep for two days. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair at the mere thought of it. She had been sleeping for two days.
A knock came at the door, "My Queen?" Queen? Oh, wait...they were addressing her.
"Y-yes. Come in." She cleared her throat just as the door opened. In walked a young girl, blond haired with those beautiful red eyes. She couldn't have been more than 16, physically of course.
"My Queen I am Jane. The king's asked me to be in your private guard." She spoke elegantly and with an unmoving emotion.
"Jane...oh this will take some getting used to." She mumbled to herself. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Jane." She smiled as she got up out of bed.
"Demetri and Felix fetched your things from the hotel and brought them here. This is your private room. Are you hungry?" Cordy looked at Jane rather flabbergasted so to speak.
"I...yes. Yes, I am hungry. Um...let me just get dressed and then-"
"Of course my Queen I will be waiting outside." Before Cordy could say another word Jane had left her alone in the room.
"Really going to take some getting used to that." She said to herself before she found her cloths. They had either been placed in the dresser or hung up in a wardrobe. Once she had finished dressing she met Jane outside her room. The girl didn't speak to her but merely began to walk to the kitchen. Cordy followed her feeling very awkward and underdressed in this beautiful place. "How long have you been with the Kings, Jane?" She asked gently but with curiosity.
"I was turned around 800 a.d however, I can not remember the exact date." She stated plainly.
"Oh."
"I also have a twin brother. Alec, you will meet him later with the rest of the guard. The Kings have decided to turn only a select few of the elite guard into a private guard for you."
"For me?"
"Indeed." Jane turned to her. "You are the one person in this whole world that has ever been the utmost precious to the kings. Even before you came here. They had made plans for when you came. That room you are in. Has been changed countlessly over the centuries for they wanted only the best for you when you would arrive."
"I've...I've never had anyone do something like that for me..." She looked at Jane softly. She swore she saw a flicker of something in those deep bloody pools. "I wouldn't know where to begin to thank them." She gave a brief smile.
"Just be their Queen. Let them love you. Spoil you...they have waited many years for you to come to them."
Cordy gave a quick nod "I will." Jane turned around and continued onto the kitchen. Cordy had settled for a bowl of cereal and some orange juice. "I know this might sound like a stupid question but...why would vampires have a kitchen?"
"We tend to have human employees from time to time." Jane responded casually, she wasn't' so stiff now.
"You mean the secretaries?"
"You catch on rather quick. Yes the secretaries, gardeners...we have a vampire laundress. She is very good at what she does. Can get a stain out of anything."
"I can imagine the blood stains from feeding." Jane gave a look at her rater curiously "Well I mean with the way blood tends to splatter and such when one goes for the carotid artery..." She started to get self-conscious and stopped talking. "Sorry..."
"No, it's just...odd. You being alright with this. Most wouldn't be able to handle it all."
Cordy shrugged "I watched a lot of crime shows as a child. I guess I desensitized myself..." She shrugged softly before turning back to her cereal.
"Perhaps that is a good thing." Jane offered as she continued to watch the human eat.
"Jane," Came the voice of Demetri. "The King's request that the Queen be taken to them at once." He said before Jane stood. Cordy immediately followed and felt slightly nervous. She knew that Aro, Marcus, and Caius wouldn't hurt her. She was just nervous about messing anything up or not having them like her. Stupid things really since she was technically their...what did they call it? Their true mate? Yes, that was what it was. Jane and Demetri lead her along the halls till they came to the throne room. There the Kings waited happily for her.
"Il mio amore, " Aro said delightfully. "I had heard you awakened at last. Our deepest apologies for not being there when you did. Ah, I see you finally met Jane."
"Yes, I did. Jane was very helpful in helping me get something to eat." She said with a smile, "She also told me that she is now of my personal Guard."
"Yes indeed. For yo, my darling are still human. You must be kept safe at all times. Especially if you wish to venture outside the castle. Oh, that reminds me." He handed her a small black leather wallet. "This is for you darling."
She opened it and saw...the holy grail of credit cards. The black card. "Oh my..." She couldn't find any words. "You...why?"
"That is all for you, my darling." Aro smiled as he nuzzled her as Cordy felt like she would faint.
"For me?" She squeaked out causing Marcus and Caius to smile.
"Indeed my darling. All for you." Marcus repeated basically what Aro was saying. "We want to give you the finery of life. Please allow us to?"
"I-I'm just not used to being spoiled. No one has ever.." She looked at Aro who understood with sad eyes.
"You are a Queen, my love. And you shall be treated like one." Marcus and Caius came up behind her and nuzzled her.
"And we shall spoil you. And make you feel wanted and loved." Caius said before kissing her neck. She shivered which only made him growl. "La nostra preziosa Regina." He purred as his brothers started to purr as well. Cordy clutched the leather wallet to her chest tightly. She had never felt so wanted in all her life.
"Jane will take you to the cities and take you shopping. Sadly we would go with you but we have some business we cannot get away from." Marcus said sadly.
"It's alright. I understand. You are kings after all. Will I be just as busy as you?" She asked curiously "I-I mean I am...The Queen." The word felt so foreign on her tongue.
"Yes, my dear. For you have just as much power and authority as the rest of us." Aro stated, "And they will come to fear and respect you." He purred kissing her jaw wanting to feel her shiver against him once more. "But for now, go and bond with Jane." He smiled as he watched her turn and walk off with the little blond vampire. He figured this would also be good for Jane. She needed...friends.
