This chapter you will see an entirely different side of Venus, why because it is finally time for what you have been waiting for. Her confrontation, I looked over all your answers to the previous questions, and I hope you like what I decided to do. This was a lot of fun, and like always more questions will be at the bottom.
Venus sighed as she woke in Marcus's bed, it having been a few weeks since she learned her father was in the dungeon. Her mates were forever patient with her, as he was locked up and they could torture him. She had heard the screams the man who had abused her body in every possible way, and then would see Caius walking from where he was kept; smiling.
One would think after all the things Charlie had done to her, Venus would be happy about his pain. However she was not, she hated it when anyone was in pain; even those who deserved it. Aro would reassure her that the man was beneath her, and did not deserve her sympathy. However, that did not change her feelings. Knowing that the moment she went down to confront him, that his death would be soon after. However, she knew better than to confront him alone; but she refused to have her mates with her.
Getting up slowly, taking note that Marcus was nowhere to be seen. She moved to the door, and peeked out to see no one. Sighing softly, and moving quickly to her private room so to dress in silence. "I need to look like a Queen." She whispered softly, as she assessed what she wore. A simple white corset top with bell sleeves, black slacks, and simple black flats. Feeling as if she was missing something, Venus ran to Aro's private room. Peeking in slowly, she picked up on the sound of his shower. Smiling softly, before quickly swiping his pendant and cloak. She was ready to face the man that donated his sperm so she could be here.
Not alone, as she padded softly to the guards training room. Her brown eyes peeked in to see all four members of the elite guard, they all turned to her in confusion. "Alec." She said calmly. "Would you walk with me?"
The guard requested stood calmly, and walked over to her. "You are wearing Master Aro's cloak and pendant, does he know?"
"No." She replied calmly, before walking down the hall knowing he was following. "I want your company while I confront my father."
Alec stopped, his red eyes huge as he could not believe his vampire ears. "Me?" He asked, feeling a mix of emotions on her request.
"Yes." Venus whispered. "I trust you to see me vulnerable, sure I trust every-"
"Alec goes we go." Jane spoke, walking up with Felix and Demetri. "If you won't have your mates, which we understand you wish to do this on your own. Take us all."
Venus stared at them softly, while grabbing the pendant around her neck. While Demetri walked up to her, and calmly fixed the cloak. Her eyes were moist with tears, as she gazed into his red spheres.
"A Queen does not shed a tear." Felix told her calmly. "However, you do know Aro will be searching for that pendant."
Venus giggled softly, before wrapping her arms around Demetri softly. "You are all the greatest brothers and sister I could ever ask for."
"We better be." Jane teased.
The human laughed softly, before turning to everyone. "I would be honored if you accompany me."
"Any requests?" Demetri asked.
"I need silence, no interruptions when I speak to him." She replied softly, as they all began to walk calmly down the hall. Her heart beat began to speed up as the staircase, that held just a simple five flights down to the dungeon's door.
Felix placed a hand on her shoulder, they could all sense her fear. "He isn't the same proud man he once was, I can promise you that." He whispered to her.
"And, we will be here every step of the way." Alec added.
"With every pause you need to take." Jane finished softly.
Venus nodded, as she began to descend down the stairs. It felt as if hours went by before they saw the bottom and large metal door. It was dark, besides the faint glow of torches that led the way. The only sounds she could hear at the moment, were the clacking of Jane's heels, her heart pounding in her ears, and the faint sound of snarling followed a series of familiar cries and curses.
"I believe that both Master Caius and Marcus are down here." Demetri mused, which caused Venus to pause for just a moment.
"They already know you are down here." Felix told her. "Every guard down here can hear your heartbeat as well."
She nodded, as Jane moved to open the door for her. Taking one more deep breath, she and her guard walked inside. Again, her only light was that of torches. Demetri thankfully held her hand to help guide her, where she could make out two new figures outside of a particular cell.
"Mi'amor?" The voice of Marcus could be heard, as Caius walked up to her. She could see his pale almost translucent skin and hair, as her hand broke free from her loyal trackers to touch her blond mates cheek.
"I see you stole Aro's pendant and cloak." He whispered amused. "Are you sure you are ready?"
Venus paused for a moment to gather her voice. "Yes, it is time to let go-" taking another breath. "I do not wish to live in fear anymore."
Even in the darkness she could see pride enter her mates eyes, and that filled her with more confidence. "He won't ever hurt you again." He offered his arm, to which she took instantly.
Gripping tightly, as they walked to stand in front of the cell. Her eyes however strained to see Marcus, who wrapped his arms around her waist. This gave her more strength, and with her newly required siblings walking to stand behind her. Her brown eyes were able to move so she could look inside, seeing a figure in the darkness. "I need to see him fully."
"Light it up." Marcus ordered, with that she was surprised to see the torches go out and overhead lights turn on. "We did modernize the castle, the torches just instill fear."
Venus nodded, before looking again. This time she saw a brittle and bruised man, one who had instilled fear in her for years. A man who struck her at one point that she fell into a coma, if it had not been for Bella walking inside with Edward. The Queen of Vampires would very much be dead at the moment. That memory hit her like waves, as the pity she felt for him this morning morphed into anger. "Hello, father. Did you miss me?"
Charlie looked up in shock, as he saw his youngest daughter standing beside her torturers. "Venus!" He exclaimed with hope surprisingly, which caused anger to fill the girl even more.
"If you think for one moment that I am going to help you, after all you put me through. You are even more fucked up then I initially thought." She whispered calmly.
Her father looked at her, before even in his weakened state he glared at her. "I am your father-"
"Don't you dare claim such a title." Marcus snarled instantly.
"You are undeserving." Caius hissed.
Venus was silent as her mates and guards growled and snarled at him for a moment. "Your my father?" She asked softly once they had quieted down. "How can you claim as such, after you lied to your flesh and blood, placing your hands on someone you were meant to love and protect. Sure a firm hand on ones child to keep them from going crazy I get." She whispered. "However to smack your child around for the sheer joy of it, to threatened to kill my sister if I ever spoke up, and to rape me! Your daughter!"
Charlie eyed her for a long moment. "So, you orchestrated this entire thing?"
"No, I didn't ask for you to be brought here. However, it works out. Here you can't even think about harming Bella, and justice if being served." She replied.
Caius smirked. "I cannot wait to kill you."
"I am afraid my love, everyone here and Aro gets a piece." Venus whispered, before turning to her father once more. "You once told me no one would ever want me, that I could not be loved. However thanks to Carlisle Cullen, he showed me what a father is supposed to be. I was able to make it, survive so I could find love." Swallowing slowly she continued. "They don't see me as used trash, they love me as I am."
"Whore." Her father spat darkly.
Venus normally would have shrank back, but with her mates and family there. A strength she had never known bubbled up inside her. "I am no whore, I am a Queen where you are nothing." Her brown eyes narrowed as she spoke. "I have survived your hate, I have grown from it. I am a warrior, may be not in the conventional sense but I am still very much a survivor, and you will never hurt me again."
"How will you be able to sleep tonight knowing you have sent me to death!" Charlie shouted.
Venus laid her head down on Caius's shoulder. "In this one's arms, probably like a baby." With that she turned to her vampire company. "Can we leave this filth behind?
"Yes." Caius cooed softly, kissing her lips softly.
Flicking her eyes at her father once more she gave her final words. "Goodbye, father."
They started to walk away, everyone listening as the man shouted as the lights switched back. The torches relit, but this time the darkness did not frighten her. "I am your father!" They kept hearing the man shout.
"He may be my father, but he will never be my Daddy." She muttered, which made her Volturi family laugh softly, as the title of Dad was claimed by a blonde doctor.
When the group returned to the upstairs, they were greeted by a not so amused Aro. He looking directly at his mate, while everyone else gave her an amused look.
Do you like the confident booster that Caius, Marcus, Jane, Alec, Felix, and Demetri could provide? Lets not forget she stole from Aro XD. That is honestly what caused this chapter to be super fun, as its serious but has a bit of childish innocence that is Venus. Now do not worry the Cullens will be making an appearance. :)
Oh and what do you think Aro will say about her being his little thief? XD
