previously:
With Scarlett still sleeping , jasper and Rosalie stood either side of Scarlett and Carlisle whilst Emmett answered. there in front of the Cullen's in there own house stood the kings and their guard . Caius' gaze stayed on the sleeping Scarlett with nothing but lust in his eyes . it was no secret that Caius felt something for Scarlett . She was the prize in his eyes and he wanted nothing more than to take her from Carlisle. taking a step towards her caused uproar , each Cullen stood in front of them in a defensive position ready to attack if needed.
Carlisle stood with Scarlett still sleeping and began moving behind his family , to lay Scarlett in the room they had once shared and would do once again. Leaving her with a kiss on her forehead to find out what exactly brought the volturi kings to his home. " Aro old friend please sit , what a wonderful visit , however i cannot help but wonder what the reason is for your visit." Carlisle asked ensuring that he kept his manners in tact. Sitting opposite Aro on the chair nearest the stairs. " Carlisle we are here as you seem to have a habit on involving humans finding out what we are. First young Isabella and now the beautiful Scarlett, i can see why my dear brother is infatuated with her. She's truly something." Aro stated as if this situation was a mere game to him. "well as you are fully aware Aro , Bella is Edwards la tua cantante as you put it when they visited you meaning that she is my sons blood singer. However my Scarlett is a completely different situation, she is my true mate, as I'm sure Marcus can confirm. There is no law stating that mate's aren't allowed to be informed is there not? Therefore no law is broken. Which brings me back to my first question why are you here?" Carlisle pressed. After everything his family and his mate alone had been through, this was the last thing they needed. " Could you at least try to control your thoughts about my fathers fiancée " Edward spoke not being able to physically listen to Caius' mind any longer.
Before Carlisle could reply to both Caius and Edward , Scarlett had awoken, walking down the stairs rubbing her sleepy eyes. Carlisle made a mental note to make sure she gets some more sleep later on. Caius immediately stood but before the other kings and Carlisle himself could react, Rosalie, Jasper and Edward himself were blocking Caius' path to her, which made him snarl in fury. Emmett and Alice on either side of Carlisle. When the tension diffuses , Emmett speeds over to Scarlett and picks her up , only to dump her on the couch and launching a controller her way , narrowly missing her. " hey you big oaf , i don't wish for a concussion today thank you " Scarlett replied smirking. Carlisle chuckled taking a seat next to her with her feet in his lap. His family were completely ignoring the fact the volturi were there. just when Scarlett was about win against Emmett, Caius turned the videogame off and faces Scarlett "when there's an immortal god like me in the room, you my beautiful angel should divert all of your attention to me " Caius told Scarlett getting a few growls for the rest of the Cullen's, Aro stepped up to speak but Scarlett spoke before he could get a chance "What the actual fuck did you do that for i was finally winning? Why would I pay attention to you ?" well shit . Scarlett was pissed and that never ended well. Caius looked in her eyes and replied "You'll pay me attention because I'm a vampire king and because i have loved you since i first met you in Italy". " Those questions were rhetorical, and again tell me something i don't know, I wasn't interested last time, I'm not now nor will i ever be" Scarlett replied getting up to turn the game back on. " but you haven't heard what the offer ive written to you about is, you see mio amore, if you come with me , id be too willing to give you children, your second chance at motherhood. Our children would be unstoppable your beauty my strength its inevitable. all you need to do is say yes sweet Scarlett" Caius offered gauging her reaction. It most certainly was not what he expected. " you're absolutely unbelievable, you cannot replace mine and Carlisle's children. you're a vile excuse for a king if you truly believe for one second id actually take you up on that offer and saying yes. There is nothing you can do or say to change my mind. I lost my babies and to be in the same presence as someone who thinks theyre replaceable is quite honestly making me feel sick. so if you'll excuse me " turning to Carlisle with tears down her face " I'm sorry i cant and i wont sit and listen to this, I'll be in our room" and with that Scarlett took off up the stairs slamming the door behind her and for the countless time that day she burst out crying. Rosalie and Jasper both head to see there mother , if they were in Caius' presence any longer they'd have ripped his head off. They both walked into Carlisle's room, Rosalie immediately rushed to Scarlett's side and pulled her into her embrace, whilst jasper sat to the side using his gift to calm her. Usually he'd complain about his gift and being able to feel others emotions but now he finally thanked the angels above that he could help his mother in a way no one else could.
meanwhile the rest of the Cullen's were sat watching Aro and Marcus scold Caius on his manners and behaving so atrociously . It was then that Carlisle brought up the topic of the law the volturi themselves had set and it was against the law to separate a vampire from his mate when they were found. So in taking Scarlett, they themselves would be breaking the law and would then more than likely result in a uprising that the volturi don't want. Caius huffs but stays silent . Aro and Marcus looked to Carlisle to ask if they could have a chance to meet Scarlett once again , this time a lot calmer. Jasper appeared beside Carlisle to inform him that Scarlett was currently asleep against rose in their room . " If you want to meet Scarlett that bad then I'm afraid you will have to wait , she's currently asleep" Carlisle told them before turning and speeding towards his own room to watch his perfect mate sleep although she wouldn't let rose go anywhere.
