Chapter 10

(13th April 1881)

(Six months later)

Aro POV

Well as you would have imagined the time in the castle since the time when myself and my brothers ordered Felix's punishment on him has been the most interesting that's ever happened since the arrival of Isabella as several things have been happening during the months that have passed, some good and some not so good.

The first of many things that did happen was Isabella's room did get finished a day after Felix was dealt with, which made a lot of us very pleased it got sorted. As Heidi temporarily moved in, Isabella's room which made getting Heidi's attention harder as no one wanted to disrupt Isabella when she was sleeping in her new white cot. She only stayed there till her room was fixed a few days later, which was a relief to everyone as for one Heidi wouldn't stop mentioning it in every conversation she had and secondly it meant anyone was able to see her without waking Isabella up either.

He of course wouldn't have changed anything that had happened during that time as not long after about a week or two as Jane and her brother soon got the news about Isabella and that she isn't to be harmed was known throughout the guard and staff as they all found out some more than others that Jane was fiercely protective of her and that she would use her gift on anyone who put a foot or a finger in the wrong place to try and do any harm which put a lot of people on edge which he of course knew would be a problem but his brothers told him it be fine as Jane's twin Alec would make sure she didn't go too overboard which calmed his nerves down.

About a few days after that happened a lot of them wanted to get to see her and even offer to care for her if needed which of course he was extremely happy about hearing that most who offered was female but a lot of the males just took a bit of coaxing to get used to the idea of a human baby in the castle and then they just wanted to protect her and do anything they could to help.

After that, when December came around what was known to be the Christmas time which Heidi wanted to get presents for isabella but I told her if it was really necessary as isabella is still too young to fully understand and embrace it and asked her to wait until she hit the age of one or two which she eventually agreed with even if she sounded disheartened about it.

He knew she would be fine as he knows that because of isabella she wants to try to celebrate as many celebrations that she knew a human would celebrate, but because raising a human was uncommon he didn't want her to go overboard and it go to waste as isabella wouldn't remember it till she's older enough so he had to tell her and hope she would be fine with it in the long run.

Now the one thing that spoken about by everyone in the castle but himself and his brothers was whenever it came to the discussion of changing isabella as no one knew if she was gonna urinate or defecate and it started to became a game of who be lucky enough to avoid changing it but what was spoke about wasn't the game it was a secret bet on whenever Caius would change a dirty diaper as everyone wanted to see his reaction to it and it was one for the history books when he found out and even put a bet himself.

Well as you could imagine it did happen Caius got left with Isabella to look after while heidi and the girls went out to get more supplies for more diapers and formula and so forth as they was low and only had a couple of spare diapers left, and oh boy did it leave everyone in stitches as isabella made the smelliest one to date, while Caius was cradling her in his arms and he had to change it and you could tell he didn't like it one bit as he was trying not to explode with anger as it was the one thing that everyone knew Caius was trying to avoid doing and he was stuck doing it.

Of course he found out all this when Caius came storming into his office a few hours later telling him what happened and that he has to get rid of the stench from his clothing and body as he couldn't stand it as he felt like the smell attached itself to him and had to clean it to get rid of it and when Caius stormed back out the door he just bursted with so much laughter that everyone heard and he told everyone that it happened and just wished he could have videoed it all to keep forever so he have something to use on Caius if he ever tried to wind him up or try to get cocky whenever he thought he was better than everyone just to knock him down a few pegs down.

He was just glad that just the mere mention of it was enough for the time being to annoy or keep Caius quiet when he himself felt like it, but told others to not mention it unless it's in their own minds or if they are talking to their mates in their shared rooms.

As of now he was in his shared office with his brothers talking about one subject in particular which was about the God of War as during the six months theres been little to no new news being rumoured which made him more than the others wonder what could have caused it as if there is someone who has a army that is better than the one with the God of War in then it could spell trouble to that something is happening in the God of War's army that mean they need to get more recruits or that he may have left the army which felt the most unlikely.

They went about discussing it for several hours until they came to a decision to send some more scouts who are easy to replace as they don't have any significant gifts that Caius saw as useful.

Few hours later after he called in the scouts and sent them off to observe and report, he decided to go and check on to see how Felix has been as currently he was locked in his own cage in the dungeons.

As he made his way to the dungeons he looked about and for the first time realised that he may have to get or find someone to update the look of it as even though no one really comes down to it often enough he thought it could do with a new look or some creepy looking art to give it a more dungeon look but decided to leave that matter till another time.

He then came to a conclusion to himself that he isn't one to normally think about redecorating rooms and so forth but also knew that not many come down here either, he started realising that his wife Suplica's decorating side must have rubbed off on him, he continued walking with a slight chuckle.

The more he thought about it, himself and his brothers before we met our mates were vastly different to how we are now, and our mates who are also the queens of volterra have changed us slightly some things more than others, of course Marcus changed more than we did due to Didyme dying and made him less than what he was and more of a empty shell, well with Caius his wife Athenodora she only changed him slightly and made him think things through more as before he was more anger driven, which made him reckless in his youth, but now he is more strategic and battle minded where is anger is concentrated into something that allows him to think before he acts which is mate helped to see more clearly even when myself and Marcus tried telling him that before he was mated.

Of course with Isabella, she had gave us a similar effect to how it was with our mates but it's also different as she has not just had that affect us but on everyone else in the entire coven too. If I was being honest does take some adjustment to get used to but it has made all of us see humans differently in a different light that we didn't see before. There is still a degree where some of us still hate humans due to our past or from the ones we met on our paths to get us here, the only exception is Isabella and none of us are sure as to why but wouldn't change it.

Some of us like Jane and Alec who had a rough human life and they hold the majority of grudge and hatred for human beings but even they can't help but love Isabella and don't see her the same way they see other humans.

Maybe Isabella is the key to let humans not be hated so much and be seen in a better way even if not all of them are good as it just means that when we feed, we should feed on the evil of the world but I can bring that subject up in the next meeting to see how everyone thinks about it, as it would involve changing things as we have Heidi who does a wonderful job with the tours.

It's surprising how many things that could change or need to change and its seems that either no one has mentioned it because they think it doesn't matter or that it's only because Isabella has been here where things have been coming to mind but maybe that's just me thinking that I will have to ask my brother about it too to get their thoughts on it.

He came out of his thoughts as he walked a few meters away to Felix's cage and noticed where Felix was in his cage. He was just sitting cross legged right in the middle of the cage, but seemed to be unaware or at thought as he had his eyes closed and didn't open them even while being in his King's presence which he himself wasn't happy with.

As he watched Felix a bit longer it made him wonder as new thoughts seemed to come up about vampires that he didn't know in his mind, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable about it all as he didn't like these types of changes at all definitely when it was about his kind.

After a few moments went by with no change to Felix, he slammed his hand at the bars of the cage to get Felix's attention as he was feeling impatient. He knew within his own mind that as odd as it may be he hasn't once checked Felix's memories since the first to see what happened when they first discovered that one Isabella has a strong shield. Also it was Felix who chose to attack her at that time, but since then he hasn't checked his memories which the others noticed and told him about but he chose to ignore it as it didn't seem that important at the time.

It's only now that he has noticed this detail and thought about it longer enough to bother him, so he felt that he should check now just to be certain that Felix isn't planning something or anything else that happened during the time since he last checked. As anything new could change the punishment for Felix in a good or bad way depending on what he sees.

As there wasn't any answer when he slammed his hand against the cage he decided to try a different approach to it and see if Felix would respond by talking instead.

"Felix we need to talk now and you better cooperate or things can become a lot worse for you" he said in his serious tone to Felix, who still looked like to be in the same sitting position and with his eyes closed, not even a flicker of showing he heard anything, it was either that or he wasn't even paying attention intentionally even while being in his presence being down in the dungeons which he rarely ever visits.

He did have his reasons why he rarely visits the dungeons, firstly he never saw any point to it with his kingly duties that was more of a priority and kept him very busy with the vampire world, secondly not many of his kind was sent down here as some just got executed right on the spot for their crimes or the crimes they committed wasn't worse enough to require being locked up, finally this is the first time its involved one of his own from the coven.

He didn't particularly like doing it but he had to make sure that felix was used to also set an example of to anyone else in the coven, to show that as a king and a leader of the coven and the vampire kingdom he can show leniency when necessary to their kind or in the coven if shown enough loyalty and respect for their years they known him and his brothers, even if most only see the death and bad, which he hopes others will start to see that they are not all power hungry, even if that's what they think they see.

He continues to think more in his mind but more about Felix this time about how he's not doing anything. What he currently is thinking in his head; "is he doing this intentionally, or is there something else happening that I'm unaware of. It could be an unknown side effect of when he became unconscious six months ago, that himself or his brothers was unaware of at the time, which he doubted but didn't want to exclude either. Just to be sure as it was becoming possible with new things they are now learning about his kind that can happen to them, that wasn't happening to them in his youth or when he was turned."

His mind turned to another thought or more like a decision that was turning constantly, as he was trying to decide whether to open the cage and get Felix's attention forcefully or just wait to get his attention for a bit longer.

With everything that's going around in his head he eventually came to a decision to open it and forcefully get the information himself if Felix wasn't gonna show that he is paying attention or be aware of his presence as he should be when his king is talking to him.

As he made the decision to open the cage he stopped again and realised that he doesn't normally feel this much frustration or have this many of these types of thoughts running around in his head. Then it occurred to him that it is also not normal for him to not have the full information either as he always checks everyone's memories when they are on trial or gonna be punished for a crime.

As thoughts in his mind became to clear slightly, he starts to approach the cage's door and slides the bar that holds the cages door closed across, alongside the extra measure that they added most recently which requires a special key and lock that's made of the same material as the cage and bar itself to make sure it's all vampire proof to begin to unlock the cage door fully so it was now open for him to get in and get to felix to get what he came here for.

As Felix still hadn't moved from his sitting position in the cage, he began to feel frustrated but as well as he deduced from the lack of movement and communication that came from Felix. Felix was well known to be of the talkative type, which also made this whole thing of him being silent, non responsive, not moving and just sitting there to not sit well with him.

It started to bug him that despite the door being wide open that Felix showed no movement or noticed that he was in the cage with him, to add to that the cage door was wide open, which most would try to escape or try to attack to get the opened door but Felix didn't do any of that and just stayed as he was.

He began to approach Felix even more closer than he was before as he was still near the opened cage door that he just opened. He was now close enough to become within touching distance, so he decided to begin to put his hand on Felix's shoulders to access his memories, if Felix wasn't gonna do it willingly, but the second he actually made contact with Felix's shoulder.

A massive force of tremendous energy slams into his back so quickly into him, before he makes that important connection that allows him to see the memories, that shocks his entire body into what he assumes must be a form of unconsciousness, which slowly begins to happen to him. It feels similar to how Felix must have felt after rebounding into Heidi's room wall from Isabella's shield six months ago, which he saw and felt when he last touched Felix.

He starts to feel his entire body begin to fall heavily and slowly like something had held him that prevented it from hitting against the cold, uneven and rocky ground too quickly. As his body is against the ground, his vision is blurred but he's not certain but he sees something that looks like Felix standing up, like he's woken up from where he was previously sitting and it looks like he's facing and talking to someone behind him, but he feels unable to move his head to get a clear view of who or what's happening around him and behind before the darkness takes over.
