(A/N) I want to thank SulpiciaDoesntApprove, without whom this chapter wouldn't be up yet. She gave me advice on how to improve Our Story and also gave me a massive confidence boost. Thanks!
From now on, the only thing that stood for the Volturi was Aro's greediness. I would never compare it to anything else again. I kept my ideas to myself, not out of selfishness, but out of fear. I had seen what the Volturi could do far to many times. However, the theories that plagued my mind were hard to keep quiet. I would need to voice them soon before I became mentally ill.
I felt this desire grow stronger as I sat next to Marcus early one morning. It had become our thing, this - sneaking out to the hills, watching the sunrise together, enjoying each others company. We would watch the world change, the stars dissapear in the light. It was nice to acknowledge that not everything stayed the same, as we did.
"Didyme, is something wrong? You seem distracted." Marcus's concerned voice drew me out of my longing thoughts. I sighed. He missed nothing, no matter how big or small. It was pointless trying to hide it in the first place.
"Well, there is someting but..." I began but then changed my course. "You know when you have something playing around in you head, but you yourself haven't really put your finger on it yet, then you dont want to tell anyone else because they might take it literaly, but your not sure if it's true?" I had no idea if I even made sense, but if anyone would understand me, it was Marcus.
"I know what you mean Didyme. If you ever need to tell me anything you can. I wont take you literally." He sounded sincere, and in that moment I realized that I didn't want to tell anyone - I needed to. Badly. So I did. I got it all of my chest in that very second, telling Marcus my deepest concerns. I felt a bit idiotic when I told him how only recently I figured how selfish Aro was, but continued non the less. My emotions ranged, anger, sorrow, shame, embarresment, determination. The listener to my rant just sat there, taking everything in but letting it skim over him at the same time. I had put him in an awkward position but, like only Marcus could, he dealt with it. It seemed rude to dump it all on him like this, I had to let him know I appreciated it.
"Thank you Marcus, for listening. I'd probably be going insane if you were doing this to me. I'm sorry I took this path." I apologized being honest because, with Marcus, that was all I could ever be.
The day continued, and even though I was a vampire, it still felt long. As soon as we pulled away from our sanctuary I began to miss it. I longed for the sunrise again because it fascinated me, how old the sun was. The few humans who new of our world would marvel at the life span we vampires had, to them it was long. I, however, pitied them for beeing so foolish. They look at us as if we are Gods, because to them somone who can live over a century is to be worshiped. Yet when they look at the sky, they do not marvel. They shield their eyes, brushing of the beauty of the sun, the same sun that was there at the begining of the world, and will be there at the end. One of the first things they notice about us is our age, but how many of them have noticed the age of the sun? For those years rival any of a vampire. Those years were spent high in the sky, seeing everything, being looked up to. The sun was a mistery. It could be figured out by science, but then fairytales would lose there meanings for science took the magic out of everything. So I left it as a mistery. A good part of the long day was spent inside my own head. I wondered why all of the sun's bright fiery colours would only be displayed as it sank behind the horizon, leaving us with just a memory when it traveled, once again, around the world. I wanted to follow it.
"Marcus, can we go traveling around the world?" The question probably sounded very random to him, but to me it made perfect sense. As the sun made its escape I would too. The journey suddenly had more significance. I needed a break from the Volturi. I would come back soon. But a break was not a break without Marcus. He had to say yes.
"Wow, it is impossible to predict what will come out of your mouth. Around the world? It sounds fun. I'm in." He grinned, and that expression made him look so irresistable, I had to kiss him. Our lips met and like always, I regained my heartbeat, feeling shots of electricity slither through me. Excitement tingled in my body, from my busy lips, to my shuffling feet. I would chase the understated, unapreciated beauty of the sun around the world.
(A/N) I think the word 'sun' got slightly over-used here. I hope you enjoyed it anyway. Reviews are highly appreciated (unlike the beauty of the sun! Ha ha! *sorry, I suck at jokes*)
