Aro paced his quarters. Replaying over and over again the day's events in his court room. Marcus was dismal over the whole situation. He wanted to give up and let the girl be free. He associates love with the demise of his first wife Didyme. If he brings y/n here, she will die. He also viewed this immortal life as a prison. He's spent hundreds of years wishing to end his life.
Caius was angry. The bond between y/n and Caius was rather rocky and unknown. The pull was enough to want to protect y/n and bring her where she could be watched and cared for by Caius, not left in the hands of some mortal men and human communities. He doesn't take lightly to those who take what is his.
Aro rubbed his temples. It's been days since he's slept and now it will be days more before he can sleep. He needs to settle this problem with this human girl before others start noticing and thinking that he has become soft or weakened. He needed to find a way to make the girl come to Volterra… again. He needed to see her again.
Aro looked out the bay window of his quarters. The girl Alice had special abilities, Edward had special abilities. All they had to do was talk to each other, they could figure out his next moves. Nothing made his skin crawl more than someone seeing through him, that was his job. In court Aro typically has a shield when Edward is present, especially after finding out the gravity of his abilities. But sometimes a shield can only go so far. What if Edward caught glimpses of Aro's plans, what if he heard his brothers' thoughts as well.
The day they met replayed in his mind again, the way she looked up at him with fear stroked his ego but made where his beating heart should be hurt with great pressure. Her rosey cheeks, her skin lightly tanned from the summer sun. The way she smelled after walking around town, the sweet aroma clung to her skin, her sweat sweet smelling and fragrant like a summer garden. Her heart pumping blood beating faster when she looked at him.
The pain was too much, the resolution should be in his own hands. He needed to find the girl, he couldn't rely on those Cullen members to bring him the girl; they thought he was a monster and unfair and cruel. But what was truly cruel, was living with this sort of pain.

The past few days returning home with Edward were awkward to say the least. Bella had to explain to Edward what had happened when he was gone. She told y/n about the secret, that he was immortal. It wasn't totally Bella's fault she found out. The girl wandered in on a conversation between her and Jacob. For a while Bella resented y/n for entering the relationship like that between her and Jacob. But it turned out to be a good thing, until now.
Now it feels like she signed y/n's death certificate. The Volturi were for sure going to kill her or force her to become immortal. Did y/n want to become immortal? Was she interested in that sort of life?
Y/n seemed preoccupied with her normal life. She was slightly older than Bella who was only about to graduate highschool, y/n was in her first years of college and taking online classes. She worked a part time job and lived with roommates and had a close friend who had to commute to school so they never got to see each other. Y/n would never see her friends again, especially with Aro dictating her life.
Edward explained the whole situation to Carlisle. "We are going to have to come up with a plan to meet Aro in the middle. It's been a few weeks since you and Edward have returned to the States. Aro will not drop this, from what Alice has described to me." Carlisle spoke.
Rosalie had enough, she huffed and stormed off knowing about what was about to happen. Either way, this girl y/n was going to have to accept an immortal life or be killed.
"There is no way Aro can be reasoned with, he was furious about this girl. I don't understand what he wanted with the girl anyway." Edward spoke this time.

"We don't know, but we have to comply or Aro will unleash all sorts of trouble upon us"
"How are we going to tell y/n, oh by the way, a dangerous and powerful vampire wants to keep you as a pet"
"We don't know the whole story, so all we can do is negotiate, Edward. Everything will turn out fine. Aro is reasonable when you know how to negotiate with him, I would know. I spent a few hundred years with him."
"Y/N is never going to trust Aro," Bella whispered looking out the large windows of the Cullen's house.

It had been a few weeks since Bella Returned from Volterra to find Edward. There was a sickening feeling in her gut the whole time she was gone. It was so ironic that Volterra was where she was when she met a strange man, now she found out that vampires were real beings and they lived among us. Y/n felt so small in this world, there was so much that she didn't know about.
She couldn't stop thinking about Volterra and where Bella had gone. For all she knew, Volterra was just a small community rich with history and festivals. Why would Edward want to go to a town dedicated to destroying vampires. Alice had mentioned that night that he thought that Bella had taken her life, so he was going to do the same. I wonder if vampire hunters still existed…

Sort of a shorter chapter, I'm already working on the next. No worries! As I mentioned before I wanted to add some things that aren't necessarily part of the SM version of a vampire. I like to think they have to sleep but not as much as a human. For example, vampires can go days without sleeping, they can go weeks. If the go too long then they start to deteriorate. We can explain Marcus's condition with this theory. He doesn't sleep much because he is depressed about the loss of his wife. Also I would hate to spend eternity not being able to take a fucking nap. I would be so pissed. Please feel free to leave comments and messages. I'm happy to hear from you, and gosh this story has gotten some views. I didn't expect this many views on this sort of topic/characters.
