Chapter 2: Restless,
Caius's POV…
I waited impatiently for the plane to land. I taped my nails on the arm of my chair. My thoughts preyed on me Relentlessly as I stared at Felix and Demitri fooling around with their new phones, sending ridiculous pictures to one another period I was surprised to find that I did not miss home too much. It was strange because I thought at least I would miss Athenodora. She's been my wife for centuries; you'd think I would miss her like I did on any other occasion. Funny how the sense of anxiety lessened the more we traveled on.
This had me thinking about Marcus. He told me true mates could not be separated it would be distressful. Maybe vampires were happy, existing together contented because they were complete and full of joy. Well, I guess Dora was not my true mate after all, only a wife. I sigh to this knowledge. I think among the whole coven of the Volturi, Marcus was the only one to find a true mate. Once I thought it was a myth , but Marcus assured me it was real thing period most of us could not bear the weight so we married to ease our pain of loneliness, like arrow and myself did. I know that mates must not be rushed into anything, but I was not going to wait forever! Anyway, I've been here over 3000 years. If I had a mate, surely, I would be drawn to her or her to me. My thoughts began to race with bad outcomes that gave me pain.
What if she was alive and she died?
What if her soul called to me and I missed it?
What the hell, I may have possibly killed her and thought she was my enemy!
Whatever happened, I decided that I don't need a mate. I have a wife and that was good enough for me. I probably missed my chance long ago and I will have to just accept it. So truly, I did nothing to stop the yearning for completion and to fill the loneliness that choked my heart. I figure my life was as it should be, and this hopelessness about finding it roommate is part of my existence. Hell, arrow accepted it didn't he? Why should I care?
Back to the task at hand. Bella.
That young woman will not get away from the Volturi. No, I trust no one! It what keeps me alive. You don't get this old without learning a thing or two. Suddenly, I heard a voice in my head.
Come to me. Hurry, please!
The voice was weak and gentle, like into a faint whisper with a female softness that sent a shiver down my spine.
Another wants me, but he is not you. Come to me …before it's too late.
Who dares want you? help me find you so I can protect you. ''I whisper aloud, although it was not necessary, she could not hear me.
Could it be my mate after all these years? I must find her period I feel as though I am going in the right direction. I get excited, soon I will find her but the fact another is after her disturbs my happiness.
I'll kill him! I'm use but suddenly my thoughts are interrupted.
''Astor, you should see this picture of Felix. Remember the Christmas present auto got him. No one has seen him in it because he's too embarrassed, but I took a picture while he wasn't looking. Take a look at this! '' Dimitri said fighting Felix is hold while he had on him an almost missed his chance, but Dimitri toss the phone so I it landed in my lap.
I picked it up and found before me a hilarious picture of Felix in the new car. Arrow had gotten him a smart car. What a moronic thing to give an almost 7-foot-tall guy. He looks as if he was crushed up to his chin with his knees in his face. He looked even more awkward because he had to duck.
''Yeah, that's really idiotic! Felix you might as well be driving a clown car. Hey as a matter of fact, you might even fit better in one of one than that thing, '' is all I say as Demetri doubled over in laughter.
''You're an asshole Demetri! '' Felix fumed.
''Yup, but at least I can fit in my car! ''Demetri countered.
''Yeah, I'd fit too if I had a Hummer like you. I think Aro all mixed up are gifts. ''Felix grumbled.
''No, he wanted to give you that car so he could get you back for all the stupid jokes you subjected him to! '' Demetri tease.
''I thought he liked my jokes. ''Felix said, losing humor.
''Well, he would but you screw up the punch line every time. ''Dimitri pointed out.
''I resent that Demetri. Felix said defensively.
Morons.
''Please stay seated, we are on our final approach, Seattle WA airport. ''The pilot announced.
''Oh great, were here. You two get the bags. We're going to pay an old friend to visit.'' I say.
