A/N: All rights go to Stephanie Meyers. I do not own anything except for any characters not originally in the Twilight Saga. I know that the scene is not like the one in the book, but I am doing it from memory. I may update this chapter and put the actual scene from the book in later. For now this is the best I can do from my little memory bank.
Chapter Fifteen: Leandra
The Cullen boy has been up to no good lately. According to my little spies, he is planning on exposing himself on Saint Marcus' day. I walk through the hallway with my nose in a book once more. Someone grabs me and pulls me into a dark hallway, causing me to drop my book and growl. I look at the person to see Marcus pinning me against the cool stone wall and he has the desire in his eyes once more, making my insides ache and quiver. He cups my face in his hands and he kisses me deeply. I give out a little mewl and wrap my arms around his neck, as I kiss him back.
"Lea, please let me have you in my bed. I want to hear your voice moan out my name as I make love to your beautiful body," Marcus purrs against my lips. I pull back and bite my lip as I look him over in his expensive button down black shirt and black jeans that hang from his hips in that way that makes me melt a little.
"We can't, Marcus," I say with a small whimper. Marcus kisses my forehead and he holds me close to him. "Aro is watching us and he is not going to like that we have been snogging in the dark hallways like this. If he finds out that we are still being like this, he will make us pay for defying his orders."
"I do not care anymore, I love you and you love me. Please, let me make love to you or at least hold you in my arms as we lay in my bed," Marcus pleas. I sigh and look up to kiss the underside of his chin.
"Not yet, Marcus," I say softly and then walk away after grabbing my book. I hear his little whimper as I walk down the hallway and turn the corner to the library. As I turn another corner, I run right into Sulpicia and she growls when she sees me.
"Leandra, what a surprise to see you. How has Marcus been treating you?" Sulpicia says. I bow to her and smile a little.
"Master Marcus has been kind to me and taking great care of me," I say. Sulpicia sneers and she looks me over.
"Well, do not get too comfortable with him," Sulpicia says and then walks away. I raise a brow before walking down the hallway and then going to my own room. Felix is at my door and he has a concerned look on his face.
"The Cullen boy has been spotted near the humans in broad daylight. Aro has ordered I go with Demetri and Jane to retrieve him and bring him back," Felix says. I close my book and slip it into my pocket of my robe and smile.
"Time for some punishments," I say.
I stand near Marcus as we wait for Jane and the boys return. I am a little fidgety as I wait and Marcus has noticed because he is smiling at something. The doors open and Jane enters first.
"Sister, you were sent to get one and come back with two and a half," Alec says. I walk over and stand on the other side of Jane and Alec with Felix at my side. Edward looks worse than when he left and he is holding a human girl close to him.
"Edward, welcome back," Aro says and he stands up. "This must be the woman that you have asked to join. I see she is not dead and she is a beautiful young lady."
"Edward?" the little human whimpers. I shift a little when Aro walks over to Edward to read his memories. Marcus remains like a statue in his chair as he watches Aro.
"La tua cantante," Aro says, moments after seeing Edward's memories of the woman with him. "It would seem as though you cannot see into her mind. Might I have a try with my gift?"
"Aro," Caius says. The woman walks over to Aro and gives him his hand. I raise my chin when I notice Aro's face change at something.
"Interesting, I cannot see anything," Aro says. He releases the girl and Edward pulls her close to him. "It is too bad that you do not want to make her one of us. I would like to one other thing to see if all our gifts are unaffected to her. Jane?"
"This may hurt a bit," Jane says. Edward growls and moves to run at Jane. Jane smiles and sets his power against him, as Demetri grabs the other Cullen vampire by her throat. I shift to move, but Felix grabs my hand to stop me from moving. Aro steps away and motions for Jane to go again. Jane makes her little quote again and we wait for the woman's reaction. The woman does not move and Aro lets out a cackle with excitement.
"Amazing, she is such a powerful human. What shall we do now?" Aro says with a wide smile on his face.
"You already know what you want to do," Marcus says, with fake boredom.
"She knows too much," Caius says. Aro looks at Felix and I, then snaps his fingers. Edward moves quickly and flips the human over his shoulder to face away frmo us. Felix roars and tackles Edward, as I make a movement after the human. She looks at me in fear and I feel my hunger boil from her fear. I walk over to her, only to be trampled by Edward. My roar echoes through the room and I push Edward to the ceiling. Felix grabs Edward as he falls back down and holds him in execution mode as I walk over and grab his neck.
"STOP! Kill me, not him!"" the human screams. Aro stops us from ripping his head off and walks over to the woman with his eyebrow raised.
"You would die for a monster like us? Someone whose soul is damned?" Aro asks.
"You don't know anything about Edward's soul," the woman says with some confidence in her voice. Felix and I release Edward and step away. The human keeps a close eye on me as I walk over to stand next to Marcus.
"Are you willing to join us if we keep Edward alive?" Marcus asks.
"She will be one of us. I have seen it and it will happen, even if I have to do it myself," the other Cullen says. "Let me show you."
"Demetri," Aro says impatiently. Demetri lets her go and Aro walks over to have a look at what she claims to have seen. He lets out a little gasp and smiles at the girl. "You have a wonderful gift, my child. Go and make sure this vision you have seen comes true. Leandra, please lead our guests out with Demetri."
"Yes, master," I say with a bow. Demetri motions for them to walk out first. We pass Heidi with a group of human tourists.
"They smell delicious," Demetri comments. Heidi and I smile as we all walk past. The human looks at the tourists in fear. "Save us something."
"I am sure there will be at least one for Leandra," Heidi teases and walks on. They enter the room and there are screams once the doors close.
"Who are you?" the human asks. I turn to them as the elevator opens.
"Someone you never want to mess with," Demetri says. I roll my eyes and let them step into the elevator. Once the doors close, Demetri and I walk back to the feast waiting for us. I hope I get the chance to have my little fight with that human some day soon.
