Chapter 7
We lay on the couch and watch the moon disappear and watch the sun rise my eyes are itchy and drooping the sandwiches are long gone his arms are around me now as he's sitting up against the arm of the chair and my back is layed against his stomach I feel my head pressing into his chest and I can't keep my eyes open but try he rubs his hand against my back and I can't hold it back anymore and fall asleep
I wake to light not shining in bright but enough to know it's not early I sit up and look around I'm in Caius's room in his bed it's so big and comfy there's a set of clothes layed out with a note on it i pick it up sheepishly as letters haven't been my best communication lately
My Isabella
I have been called for business downstairs or I wouldn't have left but stayed to watch you sleep food will be on its way and clothes have been layed out for you
Cauis
The memory's of last night hits me the kiss the hungry kiss it was amazing then watching the sky and fallen asleep I need to get a watch my sleep schedule is upside down and I don't know what's what I get up and find a saucer with 2 painkillers and orange juice beside the clothes and take them and swallow the juice I get up and find the bathroom in the double doors I found last night it's huge a large bath to fit maybe four people a large sink and another set of doors I open them and it's a walk in closet and when I close them and turn around I see a shower big enough to fit three or four people I walk over to it and switch it on I turn to the mirror above the sink my face is pale my hair all over the place and bruises on my forehead at my hair line I take my clothes off putting them in a basket I assume is laundry and go in the shower
The shower was amazing my hair feels so much better only the part I hit against the wall is still tender I wrap a towel around me drying quickly I go get my fresh clothes I see a pair of jeans and the same kind of long sleeved top but in dark blue "God I need clothes" I whisper to myself but through them on I find a comb an elastic deodorant and toothbrush under the clothes so with everything else sorted I tackle my hair and put it in a bun as it's really the only thing I can do but bits of hair still fall out anyway I put on socks and a pair of trainers and leave caius room and head back towards my room
I make it back eventually and realise I never ate since I never saw no food and don't know where the kitchens where I sit on my bed not sure what to do now looking around non of my books are here I my ipod isn't here what do I do then a knock comes to the door "come in" I say hesitantly the door opens slowly and it's Maria I sigh in relief
"hey sorry you weren't where you were supposed to be so I assumed you where here foods here" she says her black eye isn't swollen but still tinted in yellow but she still doesn't look well "thank you" I say gesturing her in she brings a wheeled tray in and places it beside the bed and lifts a the tray of with toast and eggs and there's coffee tea and juice on the tray I poor myself a cup of coffee as I may need it and lift a slice of toast with some egg on it and take a bite "how are you" I say after swallowing she nods "I'm good" still not looking at me I put my toast down "please sit down" I pat the bed in front of me "I know your mad at me bit I was so angry that someone done that to you then the whole being attacked how are you doing really" I say being sincere
She looks at me and sits "I'm good they had me checked out they said you where ok I had to believe them I'm not mad I was just scared that's all" she says I nod remembering the scream I heard "was that you who screamed after we got attacked" I said looking at her she looks up at me "no that was you caius lifted you and you screamed" she said sounding shocked I couldn't remember I lifted a slice of toast taking another bite I nodded at her
"Alright I don't remember much us leaving heading back to the room you stopping being thrown back me being thrown then darkness a scream then darkness caius carried me" I said sort of surprised at the thought she looks at me and gets herself a coffee "Yes we where heading back to the room I thought I saw something in the shadows like red eyes but it was crazy I swear it was like I saw the eyes but I didn't see it i knew it was there but I didn't it was like it was in my head sort of the thing was in my head I couldn't move or do anything even when I was trying to tell you you where panicking and I couldn't tell you to run it was to late" she says taking a breath then a sip of coffee "then what" being curious she looks at her coffee then takes another sip "then I saw black cloaks and flames and aro and caius even Marcus was there and the guard Alec demetri Felix Jane once aro read my thoughts caius went to keep you safe and the rest of the guard went to find it the commotion of us been thrown alerted them imaging if we hadn't been they wouldn't of known would've been to late" she states matter of factly then takes another sip of her coffee so the vampire who done this knew what they where doing it was to scare me or to let me know it could get me but by doing it like it had it stated to the volturi that they could be bypassed but be put on high alert
"there still searching they won't stop until it's found this is not aloud to walk into the volturi and do this it's an act of war seriously" she says trying to make me feel better then I stand and I'm out the room walking towards aro I need to tell him everything he needs to know Maria is behind me confused I don't even wait for the doors to open I throw them open caius and aro are standing g near the table and Marcus is sitting down staring into space they both look up at the same time caius in a sort of shock aro smiles "Isabella my child you join us how are you" he says with his large smile and pearly whites his hands moving up to his waist I bend to a curtsey "my lord I need My thoughts known to you" I say feeling flushed in the cheeks " sit sit please child tell us" he gestures to himself and Cauis even Marcus
I sit at the bottom of the table and tell aro about Victoria and James I left out the pack as I don't want them to know about Jacob or even poor Emily if she lost Sam she be destroyed and I told them about the conversation myself and Maria had
"so I think you should call back everyone who is searching and keep them here if this is an act of war they will want everyone gone so they can attack there will be less people to fight and by the time they return it will be to late" I say sounding a little paranoid now that the thoughts are out
"Well that makes sense caius get send someone out and make sure they return" aro says looking deep I thought caius nods he gets up and is beside me I smile at him and he smiles back and then he's gone
"thank you for telling us I thought if you had a chance to escape you would take it" aro says looking at me now deeply more affectionately "Well I enjoy being here I don't think I'd leave to be honest even if I had a choice" I say meaning it "ah" Marcus says the first time I've heard him speak and he reaches his hand over to aro and takes it arose face lights up and he giggles really giggles with excitement he looks at me with sparks in his eyes "you would stay here to be with Cauis" he says "how did I miss it" he asks Marcus but doesn't get a reply I'm struck deep to the core would I leave Cauis could I I'm not sure I could he's driven himself deep in my bones I don't know how to answer "it's so obvious Cauis caring for you I didn't see him for days when you where bed ridden he returns and you not long after but you both feel the same way could it be" he almost asks himself he stands and walks to middle of the hall I stand and follow not sure how to answer just look at him dumbfounded like a doll who cannot talk
Caius returns moments later me standing in the middle of the hall Marcus huffing and ahhing and aro talking to himself but when they notice caius they stop and aro laughs not at us but at some inside joke almost "what did I miss" caius demands "well" I say but don't know how to answer "secrets that only Marcus can uncover" he laughs again and caius looks at me the look on my face must say the whole story because he just stares at aro in shock "how did you know" aro demands "Marcus figured it out the disappearing acts the long stares and smiles the sentimental act towards her" aro says so plainly I forgot Maria was in the room "so now what" Cauis says asking aro "Well if you'd like to turn her yourself you can since you want her as a mate but does she want you" aro asks more me than him they stare at me waiting for an answer I look at aro and Marcus even Maria who are all staring at me waiting for an answer but when I turn to caius his eyes on me watching waiting patiently how can such a sadistic evil vampire make me want him so much I lay my hand in his "Yes I do want him of he'll take me" I laugh mostly to myself embarrassed everyone watching a private exchange
"forever" he says
Leaning down to kiss me and aro laughing as I kiss caius back not the passionate kiss from last night but the soft loving kiss
