Plane Ride to Italy

The 3 King's P.O.V

They rode in their fancy private jet that had no windows on the body of it. Each were sitting like stone on a plush chair. Although they all admittedly dragged their feet while walking away from her, they ignored their instincts and continued onwards. They're guards knew better than to be anywhere near them right now and were either huddled either at the other end of the jet, in the little sectioned room, or up front with the human attendants that will assuredly be picked off during the long flight back.

"We should prepare a room close to ours for the daughter," Caius mentioned offhandedly. His brother's snapped their heads at him in surprise while he stared off in the distance.

"I agree was considering that as well. We should also consider creating a whole wing for if her group ever visits," Aro replied, "We won't be able to decorate little Lilith's room though since her interests may have changed since last seeing Amaryllis. Oh, I can't wait to meet her. I wonder what abilities she will have!" Aro rambled excitedly. Marcus smiled slightly. Usually when Caius was in a brooding mood, he will stew in it until someone distracts him, but this time he was the one redirecting their minds to more pleasant thoughts.

"We will need to find out, without her catching on, just how many people are in her group that she last saw alive," Marcus included. Aro nodded in agreement. They sat around and talked about their ideas on what to do in preparation for Amaryllis again with budding excitement. Then they just switched to Amaryllis in general.

"You saw her strategic power Caius. She is obviously intelligent and seems like she could handle the power we bestow her. When Amaryllis stands to us, she holds an air around her that is invigorating. That speech she made where she demanded a confirmation about securing her power had me in awe. Amaryllis was like an empress!" Aro spoke to Caius who was still unsure of the idea.

"I'll concede that she holds power and can speak like a leader, but I have yet to see if she can act like one. What if she fails?" Caius retorted with a calm and controlled voice- he held no anger in him at the moment.

"Then we shall correct her. Everyone makes mistakes, but we shall ensure any mistakes made are minimal and reversed. Like we do with each other," Marcus joined in. There was a spark of life in Marcus that was evident slightly in his voice. Aro and Caius were pleased to see the positive impact she was having on him. Caius sighed.

"Well it's not as if we have any choice. I fully trust that she would have let herself die from being away from us, if we didn't fulfill her request," Caius resigned. That earned a light chuckle from Aro and Marcus. They all felt a taste of how strong willed their mate was, and knew that what Caius said was inevitably true. Aro knew it would be difficult with another strong personality battling against him and Caius, especially since if she played her cards right, she would mainly get her way. Aro could just imagine Amaryllis using her body as a weapon against him or Caius. They would be putty in her hands. She had that winning edge that they just couldn't compete with.

Aro sighed blissfully. He knew that he would have to relinquish some of his own power to her, but the more he thought about it, the easier the idea was to stomach. Above everything he loved power and the security of it, but he was finding that his compassion for the forever human was starting to rival with his desire. She wanted to be his equal in all respects. It wouldn't be terrible to have her by his side as an equal, and having her would be a great help to securing his clan's power. Though, he would never want her getting involved in close combat with a serious opponent. She could stay on the sidelines by himself and his brothers and use her long range abilities. Before giving her a slice of his personal power though, he wanted to be sure he could trust her with it so he would just half to wait and see.

Along with this, he still has to battle his desire to own her. Aro and his brothers were old fashioned in this way. This shouldn't be much an issue though since she seems to like be dominated in bed. Aro smirked and let his mind play out memories and fantasies of them together. Her thoughts the night she bedded that human were really arousing. She was so pleased with the idea of Caius being angry and taking her forcefully. Oh, how Aro wished he could read all her thoughts. He knew that she got aroused at getting himself upset, but he wanted to see all of her wildest fantasies. Aro crossed his legs to hide and rested his arm over to hide his growing desire. Caius and Marcus found out that since they have all started to accept the bonds, they could even feel the emotions of each other sometimes, and they both felt the change in Aro.

Caius felt as though he was being dragged through fire. "Brother control your thoughts. You have already tested me enough with very vivid descriptions of your time with her," Then he switched his glare to Marcus, "Along with yours." Aro laughed and apologized, though Caius knew he didn't mean it, than they continued on about the situation growing in Seattle. A nervous human came in to say we were about to land. Aro knew that the guards kept her and probably a couple others alive to serve to them, but he nor his brothers were hungry. Amaryllis's blood was extremely filling, although when around her they still found themselves longing for a taste.

Aro sighed. "It's going to be difficult to eat the rabble while being apart from her. Their blood is so disdainful," he said with disappointment with a quick glance at exiting human. The others didn't say anything, but it was clear that they agreed. Quickly the sour thought was replaced with the joy of being able to call Amaryllis. When the plane landed, Caius whipped out his phone.

"Awesome you guys made it," They heard a cheerful voice say. The uneasiness decreased from everyone at hearing her voice. Aro snatched the phone to put it on speaker before Caius snatched it back with a glare.

"Yes we have arrived and are about to depart on the journey to the castle," Caius responded.

"It is so wonderful hearing your voice," Marcus said with happiness evident in his raspy tone.

"As if I was drowning, only to now be soaring through the skies," Aro added with childlike glee.

"I feel a lot better hearing your voices too, but I won't keep you long. I got to get back to sleep anyways. During class tomorrow I'll group text you and afterwards I'll call. I miss you- please be safe," she let her sadness flood her happy tone. The kings felt a powerful urge to hold her and were each distraught that they couldn't. Instead Aro and Marcus settled with trying to be chipper for her.

"We miss you too my dear. Just think happy thoughts to distract from the pain," Marcus stated.

"That's what we did, and we managed to get through that painfully long plane ride," Aro tried to comfort.

"Goodbye Amaryllis. We will long for you every second that we aren't in contact," Caius said while looking away. It pleased Aro and Marcus immensely that Caius was trying to comfort her too.

"Thank you. It's wonderful to know you'll think of me. I love you….." they felt shock coming from their mate at the admittance. Joy radiated through all three with those words but before they could respond Amaryllis cut in, "Goodbye!" then hung up. Aro chuckled and put his hands to his lips in pleasure. Marcus took a deep breath and gave one of those smiles he used to make all the time around Didyme. Caius half smiled, reveling in the happiness for a moment before composing himself.

"Shall we go brothers," Caius said. They agreed and travelled through the shadows towards their home.
