Sophia's POV
I never thought in a million years would I have thought that I'd be kidnapped by someone, find out that vampires exist and that my abductor is one, to be living in an ancient castle full of the very creatures but most of all I never thought that I could grow to actually love someone this quickly in spite of all that.
Demetri had been back for a whole two weeks now and in those two weeks I felt myself falling more and more hopelessly and irrevocably for him but coming to this conclusion had also made it hard for me to be constantly around him meaning it was a blessing and a curse to have fallen for the only person I spent 98% of my day with when he wasn't busy with his Volturi business in which I spent with Felix but there were times when I was alone in his room when they were both gone and that was a breath of fresh air for a few hours as I didn't have to worry about saying something that would embarrass me since while I knew that I was falling for Demetri, I knew there was no possible way that he was falling for me when I was just a pathetic human.
My time on this earth was short where his was endless and I wasn't as foolish as to believe that he would even want me around for all eternity, I knew he was keeping me around because I knew about them and I could never leave as they feared I could tell the world even though I would never do that which is why it was better I remained quiet until time said otherwise.
I was currently in the library surprisingly alone but the doors were locked keeping me in but more importantly keeping other vampires from getting in here easily as they'd have to break down the doors, I had seen more of the castle and had even met a few of the others that resided in the castle slowly learning everyone's name.
Aside from the ancients, Jane, Alec, Felix and Demetri I had started to get to know the others as sometimes Demetri and I would pass them on our strolls through the gardens at night or throughout the castle during the day in the areas Demetri was allowed to show me as he'd told me there were parts of the castle forbidden to even him, this is mainly what he called the tower where Caius and Aro's wives lived locked away from harm which I felt was a bit unnecessary and cruel but it wasn't my place so I kept my mouth shut.
In these passing's I had met Chelsea another guard member as Demetri introduced her, she was a short woman with light brown hair and her eyes crimson red like all the other vampires and she was actually very polite and I found myself enjoying whenever I got to talk with her as it was nice to talk to another girl being stuck with Demetri and Felix mostly not that I didn't like their company, through Chelsea I met Afton her husband and he was quite nice and polite to me as well but was less likely to actually stay and chat but I didn't mind as I could see his focus was always solely on Chelsea and I loved the look of pure adoration on his face, they were truly in love.
I had run into Heidi again a few times but she always glared at me and offered me no chance to ask what her problem was with me as whenever we were within 10 feet she'd disappear and whenever I asked Demetri he told me not to worry about it which of course just made me worry even more.
The real horror to me however was when we'd passed the vampire that had attacked me when I tried to leave the very first day I was here and the reason I never went anywhere without Demetri or Felix by my side and Demetri introduced to me to him, Santiago was a bulky man with dark-colored skin and his eyes haunted my thoughts as they appeared more sinister to me than anyone else's as I vividly remember looking into them just before he was about to rip open my neck, whenever we passed in the hall he would smirk and make me feel uncomfortable enough that I always stepped closer to Demetri who always wrapped his arm around my waist and steered me in the opposite direction glaring at him which luckily meant I'd never had to talk to the guy which was fine by me.
"Sup little kitten" I rolled my eyes as Felix walked in, his new favorite nickname for me was 'little kitten' when he'd found out about my attempts to threaten Demetri to put me down which went horribly wrong until Caius had interrupted, Felix had found my attempts to appear threatening to a vampire hilarious and compared it to a kitten attacking a tiger which resulted in my nickname.
"Let me guess, Demetri's busy again?" I asked running my fingers haphazardly over the ivory keys on the piano not really playing anything, the last couple of days Demetri had been gone most of the day and I only saw him at night which meant I was extremely bored most of the time.
"Don't despair, he'll be finished shortly" he smirked sitting next to me on the piano bench. "Play something better" he whined.
"No" I shook my head.
"You're so moody when Demetri's gone" I rolled my eyes but straightened up and started playing a tune slowly smiling to myself seeing if these vampires were educated with movie and songs. "Wait...are you...this is Pink Panther!" he quickly realized when I got to the chorus and he started laughing. "Your awesome" I laughed unable to stop myself from laughing at his giddy and childlike behavior over me literally playing the Pink Panther Theme.
"That was the first thing I learned how to play, it's basically beginner level stuff all piano teachers start with"
"Teach me" he suddenly asked and my eyes widened. "Come on, I'm teaching you Italian so fair is fair" I chuckled again but agreed and pretty soon I was showing him how to play the tune and he got it pretty quickly meaning we were both playing it together, I was in a higher key and he was in the lowers which made us laugh full heartedly right as the doors opened and I saw Demetri walk in out of the corner of my eye.
"Are you two playing The Pink Panther?" he asked quirking his eyebrows at us.
"Yeah dude, it's awesome" Felix replied making my smile widen.
"Hey wanna leave the child and go for a walk with me?" Demetri asked looking at me.
"Sure" I nodded getting up from the bench walking over and taking his hand which was stretched towards me, I was unfazed by the cold now being so used to it and he started leading me out towards the gardens which I was a little surprised by knowing that it was still early in the day but once we were outside I realised that it was pretty overcast which meant I wouldn't see him sparkle which was a little disappointing as I'd yet to see it again.
We walked through the arrangement and rows of flowers which were all in bloom and I smiled when he suddenly picked a red rose from a bush and handed it to me, I blushed when I took it from him and twirled it between my hands as we made it to our usual spot taking a seat on the fountain but I couldn't help notice that he seemed distant, perhaps even nervous.
"Is everything okay?" I asked him watching him turn back to face me. "Do you have to go away again?" he shook his head which only made me frown at his lack of words. "Demetri, what's wrong?"
"Nothing" he replied but I could tell it wasn't the truth.
"Did I do something wrong?" I found myself asking as it was the only explanation that I could think of to explain his behavior.
"No" he shook his head.
"I can tell somethings up with you, please tell me what it is" I told him looking down anxiously towards my lap, was he finally over me and I was going to...
"Nothing's wrong Soph but..." he trailed off with a sigh which did nothing to ease my nerves and I started playing with the rose in my hand twirling it through my fingers hazardously. "I have to-" he cut himself off right as I felt a thorn cut through my finger.
"Ow" I dropped the rose and looked at my hand seeing blood drip down my finger and immediately my eyes widened turning towards Demetri seeing him looking at me, his eyes darkening by the second as he stared at the the blood so I quickly covered it and stood up backing away from him in fear. "Demetri?" he stood up and was walking towards me. "Demetri your scaring me" his eyes had turned black. "Demetri!" I exclaimed trying to snap him out of it but it wasn't working, his lips curled back and I jumped in fear knowing what came next. "HELP!" I didn't try to run knowing that was foolish as it would only entice him more by the thrill of the chase remembering the alley. "Demetri I know you don't want to do this, please it's me" I tried to reason with him but his hand closed around my throat lifting me off my feet. "De...me...tri!" I choked out.
"Demetri stop!" I heard someone yell out but my senses were fading from lack of air and before I knew it I was being dropped landing hard on the ground barely being able to see through spotted vision as Demetri was pulled away from me by two figures then everything went black.
I groaned sometime later aware of my senses returning and waking up before I recalled what happened and I sat up looking around the same room Demetri had brought me after Santiago had attacked me only this time I was alone...although not for long as I watched as Aro and Felix walked into the room.
"Ah so happy to see you awake my dear" Aro beamed in his usual way.
"Wh..." I tried to say but my throat protested.
"Shh, don't try and talk, you have quite a bit of bruising around you throat" Aro explained and I frowned turning to Felix who was staring at what I assumed Aro meant and I lifted my hand to my throat wincing when it hurt.
"Wh...where's...De...metri?" I asked barely sounding audible to myself let alone them but they seemed to understand.
"Not here, as you can understand he's very upset with himself" Felix replied making my frown deepen as I shook my head ignoring the pain in doing so.
"No...t...fault" I choked out watching as they seemed generally surprised by my statement.
"Be that as it may dear you must understand that the last thing Demetri ever wanted to do was hurt you" Aro argued coming over and patted my hand on the bed. "But your safe and quite lucky that Alec was in the garden" Alec...he had been the one that saved me. "Felix take her to one of the spare rooms until Demetri returns as I'm sure he would like to make sure she's okay"
"Yes master" Felix replied then came over and picked me up into his arms and started carrying me through the halls.
"I...want...go...Dem...tri's ro...om"
"That's not a good idea right now Soph" he argued shaking his head making me frown but couldn't argue without upsetting my sore throat so I let it go for now looking down at my hands realizing my cast was off and that I had a bandage around my finger where I'd cut myself, things were just starting to get better for me and I'd ruined it with one stupid tiny action that I should've known was a bad idea in front of a vampire especially Demetri since he'd told me my blood was more potent for him and he craved it more than any vampire ever would.
"Is...he...mad?" I asked Felix.
"Not at you Sophia, he's definitely mad at himself though"
"It's...not...his...fault" I argued seeing him look down at me. "I...stupid...cut myself" I was talking like a toddler but it was easier to get what I wanted to say out around my swollen and sore throat.
"He was already thirsty, you accidently cutting yourself made your blood more appealing to him"
"I...never...meant-"
"He knows that, he's just going to need time okay" Felix told me as he walked into a room, one that I knew was in the opposite side of the castle to Demetri's making me frown for the fact that I was so far away from him, he placed me on the bed. "You should get some more rest"
"Can...tell...him...I'm sorry?" I asked catching his arm before he could leave.
"I'll tell him but he won't accept it because it wasn't your fault, it wasn't either of yours" he explained before he left the room and I heard the lock click into place making me frown.
This room was practically stark white and quite frankly I didn't like it even though the room was as extravagant as the rest of the castle, the walls were covered in white panels, the floors were covered in white carpet and all the furniture was white reminding me of a fancy display room but more haunting considering I couldn't shake the feeling that this room was tainted by death.
I searched around finding the bathroom through a door and stepped towards the mirror and saw my reflection for the first time and my eyes widened seeing the large purple and yellow bruises in the shape of a hand around my throat, it was fresh and raw and when I brought my hand up over it, it hurt to touch.
"Sophia" I jumped turning around finding Felix with some of my clothes from Demetri's room. "I thought you might like some of your clothes"
"Thanks" I sighed taking the clothes from him.
"Get some rest" he quickly said before disappearing again, I sighed deciding to have a shower to soothe the soreness of my throat and to hide my tears as I broke down a little, the fear of earlier coming at me full force because I almost died and Demetri had been the one who'd almost...I wasn't scared of him, I could never be scared of him but in that moment I had been terrified.
I hopped out of the shower drying off quickly before I slipped into my clothes walking back out to the main living quarters taking a seat on the large modern white couch pulling my knees up to my chest letting out more silent sobs.
Demetri's POV
I sat at the edge of the bed in my room sliding to the floor feeling distraught with myself for what I'd done, the moment I caught the scent of her fragrant blood I lost all thought except wanting to taste it and I would have if it hadn't been for Alec, I would have killed her or worse I could have turned her against her will and I didn't want that, I always wanted it to be her choice if she became what I am but now she hated me.
"Hey mate, Heidi will be arriving shortly with a group of tourists" I heard Felix but gave him no indication that I was interested. "She's been asking about you" my lips tightened into a straight line. "She actually wanted me to tell you that's she's sorry" my head snapped up at that.
"She...your joking right?" he shook his head and I knew he was serious by the hard look in his eyes.
"She's not upset with you Demetri, she's worried about you" I shook my head, there was something seriously wrong with her then because how can she not hate me, she shouldn't be worried about me she should be terrified of me.
I'd seen the look of horror on her face at the time and remembered it vividly now, I hadn't cared during the moment my mind clouded by the scent of her blood but it haunted me now and I hated that I had lost control, I hated myself for putting myself in that situation since I'd never regretted anything when it came to hunting but she wasn't ever supposed to ever be my prey again, I hadn't been able to kill her back in that alley so why had I nearly killed her, what was different.
"Heidi's back" he told me, I slowly nodded my head.
"You go ahead, I'll be there soon" I told him and he looked hesitant but left anyway leaving me to my thoughts a little longer.
It wasn't supposed to be this way, I had actually planned to confess my growing attraction and...dare I say feelings towards her and ask for her blessing to enter a courtship but now...now I wasn't so sure that was appropriate as this just proved that she didn't belong with me and that she was better off away from me, I was a vampire and she was human we can't be together with her remaining human and I didn't have the heart to turn her into what we were, she was too pure and goodhearted to cope with being one of us which meant...I had to get her out of here.
I stood up determined to let her go but first I was going to need to feed to have the strength to be around her scent then...then I was going to risk everything to let her go, it was the only way I knew that she'd be safe from me and from everyone else here.
Sophia's POV
I had drifted off, exhausted from all the crying but I sat up abruptly startled out of my dream...the feeling of Demetri's hand around my throat like it was actually happening again and the sound of my screams forcing me to wake up but then the screams continued...no they weren't echoes from my dream as they weren't my screams, the sound was outside the room echoing through the halls bringing fear into every part of me wondering what in earth was going on but the fact that I was in a castle full of vampires and their diet...humans...it wasn't hard to imagine the dark outcome of why there were screams.
I covered my ears to block out the noise, rocking back and forth repeatedly...hopelessly hearing the deafening and mortifying screams of no doubt innocent people dying wondering if Demetri was the one committing such an act and knew that the case that he wasn't partaking was next to none...would I have sounded like that if his teeth had sunk into my neck, no I had closed my eyes and excepted my fate...I...I loved him.
"Sophia, Sophia shh...shh" I heard a feminine voice say. "You are alright, breathe" I opened my eyes realizing that I had started screaming too and saw Chelsea in front of me, her eyes a brilliant crimson red, flushed with fresh blood of the people she no doubt just drank from but her eyes were kind and nurturing as she blushed my hair away from my face. "You were not supposed to hear any of that"
"I'm...I'm sorry" I choked out.
"It's okay, just breathe honey" I felt the tears returning and I surprisingly sought comfort in her laying my head on her freezing shoulder, despite what I just heard these people were as close to me as friends and I wasn't naïve to believe they were bad people just because they fed of the blood of humans even though it upset me to think that I could just as easily become a meal for any one of them and I nearly had but I didn't blame them, it was their nature and I had to accept that otherwise I was never going to cope here...that is if Demetri even wanted to keep me now.
"I don't want to feel this way" I sobbed out between cries. "I never meant to cause trouble"
"We know, Demetri knows that" she replied and I realized that they all knew about what happened, of course they did. "And you didn't cause trouble Sophia, it was an unfortunate accident that we now know we have to be a lot more careful around you"
"Why?" I asked since why didn't they just kill me so that I wasn't a burden and they didn't have to suffer in their own home. "You...just...kill me" I sobbed feeling more tears cascading down my cheeks.
"No Sophia, you might not see it right now but you've been a breath of fresh air for us, our lives have been an endless cycle for too long but seeing you here with Demetri, it's a refreshing change and while things look bleak right now, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel" she replied smoothing my hair out, like a mother nurturing her child and it felt comforting to me.
"Can you...turn...me?" I asked looking up at her hesitantly seeing her frown.
"That is not my place and you're not in the right headspace to discuss that tragedy yet" I frowned but didn't argue laying my head back on her shoulder letting her presence soothe and comfort me.
The next week seemed to go by tediously, I only knew the time passing by how many meals were brought to me by a new human woman, when I asked about Valentina's absence Felix told me she had left but something inside me told that was a lie especially since she left the same night as the screaming so I wasn't an idiot to believe they weren't connected and I chose to not think about it, the new one that brought me food was Bianca and she was nice but very timid and didn't really speak to me that much.
I haven't seen Demetri once since the accident, Chelsea and Felix took turns sitting with me but I barely spoke or left the room not wanting to do either of those things and I was barely touching my food because I couldn't see the point in it, what was the point in living here if Demetri didn't want me and I couldn't go back to my normal life so why not just end my suffering now.
I hadn't really thought of my life before even with my life before Demetri, I was always just in one endless and pointless cycle after the other so why continue to put myself through torment and a life so cruel to give me something great only to ruin it like it happened so many times, it was hard to decide how with Chelsea and Felix checking up on me but in the moments I was left alone I had roamed the room surprising myself when I found a fancy silver letter opener on the desk, it was pointed enough that I could end my life without anyone noticing from the blood in time...like I think they'd really care anyway since Felix and Chelsea were only babysitting me for their own entertainment as it was clear Demetri no longer cared.
I just had to pick a time to do it since vampires didn't sleep and I knew at least one would be drawn in immediately by the scent of my blood the moment I made the move, I kept the silver letter opener close but hidden at all times especially now when Felix was right in front of me watching as I denied my lunch.
"You should eat, Sophia" I shook my head and he sighed. "You're not helping yourself you know" he quickly added but I made no movement in answer. "He wouldn't want you to do this to yourself" my head snapped up to glare at him.
"If he truly cared he would've come by now" I spat angrily at him.
"It's not..." he trailed off with a heavy sigh before he stood and left the room, I looked at the door since that wasn't in the routine...I always had one of them...was now my chance.
I moved my hand behind the cushions feeling for the letter opener wrapping my hand around the intricate handle pulling it out and examined it before I stood and crossed the room to the window peeling the curtains open getting blinded by the sun seeing as I hadn't seen it in weeks...not since I finally saw Demetri in the sun and I smiled at the memory...if I was doing this then I wanted the happy memory in my face.
I wanted to think about the better times, even the banter between Demetri and I was better than this, I no longer wanted to live my life going around in this circle, he could be free of the torment that I had caused him from the day he met me...I can finally be free of the torment that has been my entire life but I was thankful that I had met him because he made me strong enough to do this as he'd given me a small amount of happiness that I'd never had before and I was content to go with having experienced the feeling of loving someone even if he didn't feel the same.
"No!" I heard someone yell out just as I'd placed the letter opener over my heart and before I knew it it had been snatched out of my hand and I had been turned around and pushed up against the wall eyes widening when I saw Demetri's face in front of mine...wow that was quick...I was in the afterlife seeing him in the happiest memory I had...sparking like crystals.
"Even more beautiful then I remembered" I whispered reaching my hands up tracing them over his cheekbones, feeling the hard granite texture of his skin.
"Sophia" he whispered, his voice bringing a smile to my face.
"I'm glad I get to say goodbye before I go"
"Sophia you're not dead" he snapped back and that made me frown for a second. "What the hell did you think you were doing?" he asked and it was then that I saw him holding the letter opener and I looked around taking note of everything, I was still in the room I'd been in for the last week, the curtains open showing the castle gardens...my head turned back to Demetri who was glaring daggers at me. "Answer me?!"
"I'm not dead?" I asked and his eyes hardened even more. "No...no I'm supposed to be dead" I snapped my hand out trying to grab the letter opener from him but he sped away to the other side of the room with it before I could even blink.
"Are you insane, you're not killing yourself!"
"WHY NOT!" I yelled at him.
"Because I won't let you" he growled back.
"Why, why do you even care?!"
"Because I do!" he yelled back putting the letter opener down on the desk before he started walking towards me and I backed up until my back hit the wall again and he froze for a second, his eyes flashing to a look of pain for a second before he shook it off and continued towards me until he was standing in front of me trapping me. "Sophia I never wanted to hurt you, I never wanted you to see me for what I am...a monster but you're not killing yourself understand me" I glared at him.
"Then you kill me, I won't live like this!" I exclaimed and his eyes widened.
"No...no!" he shook his head grabbing my wrists restraining them against the wall, far gentler than he had ever been with me. "You're not supposed to want to die, can't you see that"
"I...I don't know what I'm supposed to do, just tell me what to do please" I begged him, I'm so tired of this...this hell!.
"You live Sophia" he replied cupping my cheeks in his hands and I jumped a little at the feeling of his cold skin, not used to it now from his absence.
"I can't do that, not here...not without you" I replied feeling tears forming in my eyes as I stared into his eyes, they were a brilliant shade of crimson red and I didn't fear them at all.
"You have to Sophia, I'm no good for you" I shook my head protesting. "Yes, please for me you have to forget me"
"I can't" I whispered.
"You will, I'm going to get you out of here and you're going to forget me and you're going to live the rest of your life in peace"
"No I don't want that' I argued shaking my head pulling his hands away from my face holding them between us. "I don't want a life without you, can't you see that?!" I exclaimed looking at him watching his eyes widen...now or never Sophia...it was now or never. "I've fallen in love with you" I admitted watching his whole body freeze up, eyes locked on me and I panicked for a second wondering if vampires could actually go into shock. "Dem-"
"No, no you can't love me" he suddenly spat out of his frozen state just as fast as he'd gone into it. "Tell me you don't love me, you can't love me Sophia"
"I can't" I shook my head raising my hand and placing it on his face. "I love you Demetri and I can't stop" he shook his head before I was suddenly pushed back on the wall, his body pressed against mine and his hands beside my head and I could tell he was holding his breath.
"You insufferable human" he spat sounding annoyed making me glare at him. "You can't love me!" he continued to protest.
"You egocentric vampire" I spat back at him getting angry now. "I don't care if you don't love me back, I don't care that you make me want to rip my hair out half the time, I only care how you make me feel and that I love the person I am when I'm with you, so get over yourself and accept it because I love you!" I yelled at him and once again before I could even blink he had moved, just not in the way I would have ever expected...his lips had met mine in a slow and gentle kiss that left me stunned for a second before my arms moved around his shoulders and I was kissing him back, his lips were cold and quite hard but I didn't care...he was kissing me and that's all I could think about but not long enough unfortunately as he pushed me away much sooner than I would have liked and I saw the pained look on his face.
"What am I going to do with you?" he whispered sounding breathless as he stared at me making my eyes narrow in confusion. "You really are an insufferable human" I glared at him but he smiled. "But luckily for you, you're the one I can't live without" my eyes widened a little especially when he cupped my cheek again. "You really want to do this, you know what this means?" he asked and I gulped nervously as I knew exactly what this meant, if I was going to be with him then...I was going to have to be like him...I don't want to die when he never will.
"Yes" I replied my voice barely above a whisper and I turned my head a little as if to expose my neck but he quickly held my head in place.
"Not yet mi amore" he replied making me frown, did he not want me like him...no he'd said not yet but why not now.
"Why?" I asked him shivering a little as his close proximity was starting to cool my skin.
"Not yet" he repeated making my frown deepen and he chuckled at this lifting his hand to smooth out the space between my eyes where I knew was crinkled.
"Please" I begged putting my arms back around his shoulders, I didn't want to live any longer without him.
"I will but when the times right" he smiled pulling my head down placing a kiss to my forehead before he stepped away and my body instantly reacted to the distance, he started towards the door and my eyes widened.
"No!" I yelled and ran towards him. "Don't leave me!" he stopped turning around.
"I'll be back" he smiled pulling my hands away from his cloak before he disappeared the door closing behind him and I stood still wondering where the hell he was going, he couldn't just kiss me like that than leave...what did the kiss even mean, what am I supposed to think now, are we together, am I going to be a casual hook up since Heidi is still here and always throwing him sex eyes...seriously what were we?.
"Hey little kitten" I jumped in spot when the door opened and Felix walked in carrying a dress bag and a pair of heels that I knew was from Demetri's closet and he placed them down on the bed. "Casanova wanted me to give you these" I frowned confused for a second before I realised he was talking about Demetri making me smile since I'd given him that nickname. "Be ready in an hour" he told me before he left, I raised an eye in question before I walked over to the bed and unzipped the bag finding a beautiful royal red sleeveless chiffon dress that would come to about mid-thigh.
I smiled wondering what in the world he had planned but was excited for whatever it was and found myself showering using some of my fancy shampoo and body wash that Felix had gotten earlier in the week for me from Demetri's room then dried my hair and straightened out my natural curls leaving only the ends in a beach wave fashion then quickly applied a little bit of make-up that I'd gotten in the big clothes shop he'd had Heidi get for me, even though the girl clearly hated me she had good tasted and seemed to match my complexion perfectly.
Once I was finished with my hair and makeup I went out into the bedroom and put on the dress smoothing it out loving the way it looked in the mirror as it hugged all the right curves to actually make it seem like I had curves then I put on the matching red heels just in time to hear the door open behind me but I didn't look up just yet, my body instantly becoming aware of the presence behind it as I felt the cold chill that radiated from his skin.
"Sei bellissima, mi amore" he spoke directly into my ear and I blushed even though I had no idea what he said, I finally lifted my eyes seeing him in the mirror standing behind me wearing a dark burgundy red dress shirt with the first couple of buttons undone, he had matching black dress pants and blazer on over it and black business shoes.
{Translation: You are beautiful, my love}
"So what's the occasion?" I asked him.
"You're having dinner with me, just like regular people" he held out his hand for me and I quickly place my hand in his letting him lead me out of the room, we passed Chelsea who smiled and complimented my look before we continued on and I was a bit confused when we were walking in a direction I didn't recognize until we appeared through some doors and I was met with the same reception area to the one when I first arrived.
"Are we leaving the castle?" I asked him but he didn't answer me and led me over to the elevator doors pressing the button and the doors opened, he lead me inside then pressed a new button which took us up.
"I talked to Aro, he agreed that you should see the city that you've been living under for the past month" I felt myself giddy with excitement of seeing one of the most beautiful cities in Italy...I was finally getting out of the castle and what's better I was on a date with Demetri.
