Chapter 11

We lay on the couch watching stars a tray full of scraps are laying on the table caius loves watching me eat it's very dark but the stars look brighter "how are you feeling Isabella" he says pulling me closer "good" I say just staring at the sky the moon is high in the sky "do you regret your decision" he says I pull away and look at him he looks sad now "caius" I say sitting on my knees facing him on the couch he doesn't turn to look at me "caius there was no decision I didn't just decide you" I look at him he turns to me now "I love you caius you" I say putting my hands on his "you looked so happy with Alice" I laugh " that's because we are close we've always been close" I say to him "she's like a sister to me" I say looking at him he turns away "I thought you would want to leave with Edward and be with the Cullen's you can if your really wanted to" he says to me he's giving me a choice if I want to leave "no I want to be with you I want to be here I want you" I say to him I lean in and kiss him hard passionately I don't want to stop he kisses me back gentle at first and then roughly my breathing is fast but we stop my heart is racing and jumping through my chest "Isabella" he says and it just makes me want to kiss him but he pulls me towards him and lays my head on my chest running his fingers through my hair "I love you caius" say to him "and I love you Isabella" he reply's and we sit and watch the sky

I wake in his bed with him beside me still holding me "good morning" he says smiling at me "good morning" I reply to him smiling back at him I lean up and kiss him and he kisses me back "what are you doing today" I ask him smiling up at him "spending it with you" he says to me "what do you want to do" he says to me smiling I smile back and lean up and kiss him but a knock comes to the door and I sit back down "come in Maria" he calls and she walks in with a tray and lays it down on the bed in front of me she goes back to the door and lifts a bag "Alice said to give this to you" she says with a smile "and you are to wear it today" she smiles and leaves It on the bed for me and leaves I look at caius who shrugs at me

I eat breakfast and shower dry my hair I put on the clothes and shoes Alice left for me tight blue jeans with rips and a plain white v neck top and a pair of flat shoes so I'm to clumsy she put I a clear lip gloss eye liner and mascara I put them on and stare at myself in the mirror feeling weird but I walk out anyway Caius is in plain jeans and tight top he lifts a jacket and pulls it on the black leather makes his face look paler his eyes redder he turns to me and stares I blink and he's standing in front of me he leans down and kisses me "where do you want to go" he asks me smiling

I smile "the clearing" I say walking towards the door opening it "so anywhere in the world and you choose the clearing" he says laughing "Yes the clearing why" I say is he mocking me but he just stops very close to me putting bus hands on my hips and leans down and kisses me my body is electrified with him being so close my eyes are closed and he pulls back "ok the clearing" he says and I open my eyes and turn around we walk down the stairs and back towards the courtyard he holds my hand all the way down he turns to me smiling "what" I say jokingly "your beautiful" he reply's to me I feel my cheeks flush I turn my face from him and keep walking down the stairs we get down to main hall and when I turn to look at him I see Edward walk out the great Hall he walks towards us "Bella how are you" he says smiling at me "I'm great how are you" I reply he ignores Cauis beside us but Cauis pulls me towards him wrapping his arm around my waist "I'm doing good" he says I nod "Well we should be going" I say walking past him and just keep walking caius stands staring at Edward who is smiling but I keep walking until I'm our side in the courtyard and keep walking towards the clearing and then caius was beside me he loops his arm around my waist and walk silently to the clearing we walk down the path and the man made path and out into the clearing and I sit where I did before and he sits beside me I look around the clearing is as beautiful as I remembered I lay down on my back "what's wrong caius" I say to him he looks at me smiling I can't help but smile back at him "caius I want to ask you something" I sit up and look around I stand up and walk towards the edge of the clearing near trees "Isabella" he says I turn to him "when do you want me to" I stop feeling flustered he is beside me now looking at me "when do you want me to turn" his smile broadens I smile up at "do you still want to turn" he says looking down at me "of course I do I really do but no one has talked about it I was expecting aro to be pushing it" I say realising how pathetic I sound "I don't think aro will be pushing you since you told him you decide when you turn" I nod thinking I put my hands in his "have you thought about it" I asked he laughs now "of course I have you let me know when your ready and I'll change you" he says to me smiling down at me we walk back to the middle of the clearing and lay down caius pulling me closer to him

I wake to darkness caius is standing near the trees staring out Edward appears I sit up "caius" I whisper what's happening "caius but he just stands there "Bella run" Edward says gently in my ear "no caius" I say flatly to him caius is beside me "Edward take her alert the others get her out of here" caius says urgently wait what caius what Edward grabs me and moves me quickly back towards the path me stumbling I hear shouting behind me we rush to the great Hall aro and the other members are standing inside he speaks quickly Jane and Alec and a few other volturi members rush out "take Bella to her room" aro says to Edward he nods and I'm pulled back towards the stairs "no vampire can attack here" Edward says "caius" I keep repeating "he will be OK" Edward says snapping at me is this a dream it's so dark I can't see I stumble up the stairs but Edward keeps me upright just up ahead is the hall to my room "Bella run" Edward shouts and he's moving fast there's someone with him I run past I keep running past my room and keep running I end up in caius room it's dark here as well but I keep the lights out so I don't draw attention to myself I run to the bathroom and lock the door I hear noises around the castle echoing I hear screaming I smell smoke bang the bathroom door someone's here someone's with me inside caius room

Bang I hear it again the bathroom door bounces open

And I see red eyes
