Hey everyone, yes I am still working on my other stories. An update for Mate will be up soon, don't ya worry. It warns my heart however to see you all liking this story so much, thank you for the positive feedback. Please enjoy the story.


"Hey Jasper." Venus whispered, as he finally called her in the morning. She thrilled that he had, as she truly was worried for her older brother figure.

"Ve, I am so sor-" he started, but she was quick to cut him off.

"Don't you dare, it was not your fault." She reprimanded. "You are an empath, sure you are the newest to the veggie diet as you call it. But, you were channeling the hunger of six other vampires." She could hear him sobbing, on the other line. "Edward made it worse, he is the one who pushed my sister and I into the table, not you."

"Yes, but if I hadn't tried to attack..he wouldn't have done it." Jasper whispered.

"How do you know? Edward is paranoid, so even if you hadn't of attacked; he would have done the same thing." She explained softly. "Please do not blame yourself, I love you so much big brother. This guilt you feel should not be."

"How can you love me, little sis?" Jasper asked softly, his breathing obvious that he was still crying.

"Because I do, you are my big brother. No matter where I am, I know I can count on you in the end." She told him. "I love you Jasper, I mean it."

"I love you to, Ve." He told her. "Everyone is so worried about you, even Edward."

"Let them know I am safe." She told him. "The Volturi have been very nice to me, had a personal tour from the kings themselves last night."

"I am glad, Carlisle plans on calling you later." Jasper informed. "He is at work at the moment."

"Is Bella okay?" Venus asked softly, changing the subject on the Cullens.

"She is doing fine, Charlie hasn't laid a hand on her. We will protect her if that changes." He promised.

"Good, guessing he didn't care that I didn't return with them." She whispered.

"Edward can tell ya." Jasper replied

Venus sighed softly. "I'm not ready to forgive him, and I doubt I will for a while."

"He understands, Alice told us all you said to him. Rosalie agreed, that he was a spineless coward." He chuckled.

"Oh Rosey, is she doing okay?" Venus asked quickly.

"Yeah, if ya want I can put her on." Jasper told her, but he never got to get an answer.

"VE!" The voice of Rosalie exclaimed, telling the girl that she had stolen the phone. "Oh my God, I am so sorry! If I hadn't messed up with the wording, or had believed Jacob that Bella was dead. You would still be here."

"Oh Rose, I am not mad with the outcome. Plus, I know I will see you again. One day." Venus replied to the blonde on the phone. She could hear more crying on the phone. "Please don't cry, and give Emmett a big hug for me."

"I will, don't you worry about that." Rose promised, right as a knock could be heard on the door to her room.

"Its open." Venus called, and Demetri walked into the room, he was carrying a tray of food with him. "Good morning, Sexy Italian."

"Your not gonna stop with that, are you?" He asked, raising an eyebrow with a smirk.

"Not unless you are uncomfortable with it." She replied. "Hey Rose, can I call you later. I need to eat."

"Yeah, Ve. Please be safe. The entire Olympic Coven loves you." Rose's voice told her.

"I love you all as well." Venus whispered, before they ended the call.

Demetri had listened to most of the conversation, as did most of the castle. "I am sorry, with how much emotional stress all of this is causing you."

"Oh, no dwelling on that. I am happy to be here, I love the idea of getting to know you all." She told him, before rising from the bed. Forgetting that she was wearing a tank top and shorts to sleep in.

The Vampire gasped at what he saw, bruises littered her arm in obvious fingerprints. Her right shoulder was completely purple, and if that wasn't enough little scars covered her arms and legs. Four of which were obviously very fresh. "Venus?" He asked.

She looked down, before looking at the vampire in front of her. "Please don't say anything." She begged. "I don't need anyone to worry about me, I'm fine." The little lie rolled off her tongue easily, one she had told so many times that is almost seemed like the truth.

"Please, if you need to talk. I will listen." He told her, while sitting with her at the desk. "I was asked to make sure you eat."

"Thank you." She replied, before tears fell from her eyes. He touched her gently on the back, his eyes said it all. Venus had just found a new face to trust, and he would not betray her.

"If Aro touches my hand, he will see. So, be prepared for him to speak with you. However, he won't betray your trust either." Demetri told her calmly.

Venus nodded softly. "Thank you, Sexy Italian." She said, making him smile.

"There she is." He joked.

"What are you doing today?" She asked curiously, while taking a bite from the crepes he had brought.

He considered her for a moment. "I will be training in the elite room."

"Will everyone besides the kings be there?" She asked curiously.

He nodded. "Including Heidi, Afton, Chelsea, and Corin." His red eyes considering her for a moment. "Would you like to accompany me?"

"Really?" She asked, perking up.

"Eat at least one entire crepe, and you have a deal." He told her with a grin.

Her brown eyes widened with joy, before she launched to hug him. "Thank you so much!"

He froze, before slowly wrapping his arms around her as well. "You are welcome." He smiled, before leading her attention back to the plate. "Remember you have to eat."

She nodded, before she took another bite of the food; glad he only said one. Her stomach ached slightly, before it was all said and done. "I can't eat anymore."

"I will take care of it, you get ready." He told her, before he was gone. She smiling for a moment, before moving to the bathroom, her lips curving down as she started the water. It was at this time, that her mind would turn against her like it always did.

Her brown eyes met her reflection in the mirror, staring at the bruises she could hear the man that was her father in her head.

"You are worthless!" He shouted at her, before he had left for his friend's funeral. "You are the one who introduced Bella to Edward." That had been his favorite line in the world, once the depression had overtaken her older sister. Moving slowly to the jets of the shower, she entered. That was where she cried, like everyday. This was where she prepared for her jokes, and smiles so that no one pitied her.

The only problem with this, was a certain blonde king was nearby and heard her. Which was why, when she left the shower and was dressed in a long sleeve bubblegum pink shirt with a black lace v-neck shirt, and long black slacks; he was their sitting at her desk. "Caius?" She asked surprised.

He looked at the girl, quietly for a moment. "What is wrong?"

"Nothing." She said, again the same lie she had told for years.

His red eyes locked with her brown ones for a moment. "I don't appreciate being lied to, I understand if you don't want to talk, but don't say that nothing is wrong, and do not say you are fine when you clearly are not." His voice was harsh, and she quickly figured out he did not like games.

"You don't have to worry about me." She finally said, and he stood quickly, the next second he was in front of her. His hand moved, making her wince slightly.

"You are hiding a bunch of pain, I can tell." He spoke, when he touched her cheek. "However, you are wrong. I do have to worry about you."

"Why? Because of the deal?" She asked.

Caius shook his blonde head. "I will tell you, once you trust me enough to tell me the truth." He said, before backing away. "When you are ready, just call for me. I will hear you."

Venus looked at him, before letting a small upward curve form on her lips. "To clarify your actual name, and not Diavolo biondo sexy?" She joked.

His eyes narrowed slightly. "My name will suffice, or Master." He said, but his voice held the amusement.

She laughed softly, and he nodded. "See you later, in the library..possibly?"

"There is a good chance." He replied, before he left the room.

Venus found she felt better once, he had spoken with her. Sure she wasn't ready to explain everything to him, but he made her feel safe. Made her feel that when the time came, he wouldn't judge her for the past that was forced upon her.

A knock on the door, signaled that Demetri was back. "Come in, Sexy Italian."

He laughed while he opened the door. "I managed to find someone else to help escort you down."

Felix's head popped in. "Hi human."

"Good morning, BFG." She replied.

"BFG?" He asked.

"Big Fucking Giant." Venus answered, making Demetri start laughing out right. "What?"

"The description of that, could be taken in so many ways." He replied, making her blush.

Cheeks blazing red, as she walked out the door; making sure her phone was on her. "So, who is the biggest player in the castle?"

"That is a toss between Aro and Caius." Demetri said calmly, making her chuckle.

"I can see Aro, not so much Caius; but I need to get to know him more." Venus replied, as they made their way down. They continuing to joke and laugh, as they reached the training room.

"Venus?" Jane asked, curiously.

The human smiled, ignoring as everyone watched as the tracker showed her to a chair. "Stay here, right?" She teased him.

"Oh I'm not leaving you." Demetri replied.

"Ooh, afternoon with you by my side. How can a lady resist." The room started snickering instantly.

A beautiful dark haired woman spoke. "So, that is the girl who made the deal to save her sister?"

"Yes, Heidi." Jane replied.

Venus looked up to her shorter friend. "Can I get a hug from you, Janey?"

"After training." Was the reply, while the vampire laughed softly as well.

"I will hold you to it." Venus replied, once again causing the room to erupt in laughter.

0.o.0

Four hours later, Venus found herself in the kitchen for lunch. It was there she met three humans: Gianna, Bianca, and Valentina. Needless to say, Venus had never wanted to smack three bitches before in her life. It started off fine, but it quickly turned into a line of war between the three and her.

"So, how long before they kill you?" Valentina asked, her hazel eyes watching her. A look of disgust entering for the girl before her.

"Four years." Venus replied, looking to the girl. "How long before you become a snack?"

Bianca snorted, placing a strand of blonde hair behind her ears. "We are going to be changed."

"Haha." Venus released the mock of a laugh. "That is not what Jane said."

Gianna suddenly realized who the new human was. "You are the girl who sacrificed her freedom to save her idiot sister."

Brown eyes narrowed as she glared at the secretary. "You better watch your mouth, when it comes to my sister. I'm not afraid to slap, no bitch."

"You are new, you have no right to talk to us like that." Bianca hissed, glaring at her.

Venus was about to say something, when she saw Alec walking into the room. "You three need to be working." She heard him snap. "We can easily replace, lazy trash."

"Yes, sir." Valentina spoke for them, before the three ran off.

Venus turned to her savior. "Good thing you came, I was so close to breaking their noses."

He smirked. "If they give you anymore problems, let Master Aro know."

"Oh it shouldn't come to that, I can handle myself when it comes to petty wannabe bitches." She told him, and he smirked.

"Master Aro, has requested you join him in the Library along with Master Caius and Marcus." He told her, before offering his arm. She took it without a second thought, as they walked through the maze and to the double doors, she knew she would fall in love with.

"Ah, Venus has accepted our invitation." Aro said excitedly, making the girl smile.

"It would be rude to refuse." She replied.

"You may get any book you like." Marcus told her, she flashed her smile at him.

Venus moved softly, and was surprised to find books such as The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, and oh her hand went out quick for Divergent. Returning to find a chair next to Caius was available, to which she made sure her phone was on silent as she placed it on the table.

"Did you receive a call from young Jasper?" Aro asked curiously.

Venus looked up and smiled. "This morning, was able to speak with Rosalie as well."

"Are you waiting on another call?" Caius asked, looking at the strange new phone.

Nodding softly to him. "Carlisle was at work, but he is supposed to call me once he gets home."

Aro perked up at the name. "Ah, mio caro amico (Ah, my dear friend). How is Carlisle these days?"

"Winning the best Dad award." She teased, and the king laughed. "He is still the best Doctor in Forks."

"Yes, I remember him receiving his medical. I did doubt him, once. Now, I cannot." Aro told her calmly, she smiled softly at him.

Marcus looked to her. "You are quite bonded to Carlisle...I can see a beautiful blue cord linking you to him."

"What does that mean?" She asked curiously.

He looked up at her. "Means a paternal bond has formed to him, one he has accepted."

Venus smiled at that, her eyes filled with a peace that none of them understood. However, she slowly turned her attention back to the book in front of her.

"Divergent?" Caius asked. "I guess one of the newer guards brought that."

"Have you read it?" She asked.

The blonde looked disgusted at the mere thought. "Why would I do that?"

"It's a good book series, filled with adventure to get lost in." She told him.

His red eyes locked with her. "You are trying to sell me on a book, that I have no interest in even picking up."

"Don't knock a book, until you have read it." She replied with a grin, meeting his eye easily.

Aro watched calmly. "She is right brother, now we should return to our activities." He explained whole sitting across from them, she took note he had gotten out a chessboard. "You play?"

"Not sense I was fourteen." She replied.

"After I defeat Aro, you can play him." Caius replied with a smirk.

Venus grinned, before getting up to move next to Aro. "Sounds like I should cheer him on then." Her arms gently embracing the middle brother, who was happy to let her.

"Yes, I do enjoy the support." Aro grinned, smirking at his brother.

Caius scowled, wanting the girl back at his side. Glancing down at her phone when it lit up, he found an excuse to get her back. "Carlisle is calling."

"Ooh, yay." She replied, leaning over to grab her phone. "Hey Carlisle." She exclaimed happily, still standing next to Aro.

"Venus!" Everyone could hear the relief in the head of the Cullen family's voice.

Aro looked up curiously. "Hope he didn't think we would eat you."

She gave him a look, before she started running a few fingers through his hair. "I'm alright Carlisle."

"I know, you are safe. But, I am still sorry all of this happened." He exclaimed. "I thank you however, for saving my family."

"There is nothing to thank, you are family to me...and I love you." Venus replied calmly, not noticing Caius's eyes narrowing more.

"Everyone here loves you as well." He told her calmly. "Are you sure you are alright."

"Yes, Carlisle." Venus responded. "Just think of it as me, extending my family." She looked to Aro who nodded his head quite vigorously. "Aro, you realize if you were human that would hurt."

"Good thing I'm not." He replied, making her laugh.

"Aro is there?" Carlisle asked.

"Yup, so is Marcus and Caius." She replied, looking to the two before winking.

Marcus cracked a smile at it. "She is well protected Carlisle, your daughter is safe."

"Daughter?" Carlisle asked, it was then a tear finally fell from Venus's eye.

"Yes, Dad." She replied.

Aro placed a hand on the girl's giving her a soft smile. "We will protect her Carlisle."

"I know you will, just wish I could have been given a proper goodbye." The voice told Venus he was crying as well.

"This isn't goodbye." Caius spoke, his voice surprisingly soft. "I have no doubt you will see her again."

"Thank you, Ve sweetie I have to go. It's been two weeks since again proper hunt." He told her.

"It's okay, tell mom I miss her." Venus replied, knowing he knew she meant Esme.

"She misses you as well." Carlisle replied. "I love you, sweet child."

"I love you, to...Daddy." She whispered, before the line went dead.

Aro looked at the girl calmly, as she placed her phone back in her pocket. He was about to say something, but she just embraced him before she could. Sobbing escaping her for the first time in front of anyone. As it hit her, just what she was sacrificing herself for..she had a family in Forks all along.


Heartbreaking, that was how it felt writing Carlisle's scene. Then the hug she gave Aro, anyone want to guess what is going through the great kings mind. Also, how do you feel with the human employees not getting along with Venus? Review and let me know.
