(A/N) I am terrible at updating. Sorry. Here is chapter 7. And I havn't done a disclaimer have I? Here goes...
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of its characters, Stephanie Meyer does.
Today, a visitor had come. Eleazar, Sulpicia, Athenodora and I, were to tell this new born the rules of vampirism. Though this should be something to look forward to - a nice to change our usual mundane routine - I was dreading it. Marcus was meeting with Aro and Cauis, so I would not see him for far too long. I sighed as I took my place at the round table. The newborn - Carmen - was staring curiously at anything and everything. I observed as she took in the scene before her with vampire senses, and wondered how different it was than when she was human. I could not remember my human days.
Slumping forward, I listened to Athenodora explaining how the Volturi worked to yet another. I watched Carmen's eyes flicker to Eleazar every now and then. I watched Eleazar gaze into her with lively unfocused eyes. Every so often, I would see a spark in them eyes, like fire burning bright behind their burgandy shield. A small smile graced his face, and it looked so right sitting there, it made my heart ache to think it would leave anytime soon.
I had been trying for so long to find Eleazar someone. To give him what I have with Marcus, what Aro has with Sulpicia, what Cauis has with Athenodora, what Afton has with Chelsea. Could he have found that in Carmen?
"I missed you." I mumbled, embracing Marcus in my arms. He chuckled.
"Not as much as I missed you. No where near as much." I shook my head in refusal, but then his hands held me still. His lips touched mine, soft but hard, warm but cold. The sensation tingled throughout my body, right down to the tips of my fingers, my toes. A natural high washed over me, like always when I was in Marcus precense, and I felt invincible. Cauis cleared his throat from behind us.
"Please, this is a public area. If you are going perform such acts, do go elsewhere." He said scathingly, looking down his nose at us. I sighed. Lately, this place didn't feel like home. I wanted somewhere I could kiss my Marcus whenever, should we be in a hallway, living room, dining room. Marcus's fingers twined through mine as he dragged me away.
"Ugh, I wish we had somewhere all to ourselves, where no one could interrupt beautiful moments like that. I'll hold it against him forever." He promised. I nodded, totally awed at how he had just read my line.
Two weeks later, everything was different. Eleazar had left with Carmen, to start a new life. They were determined to stray from human blood, instead drinking the blood of animals. Marcus and I had a plan to leave the Volturi, wanting our very own new life. The plan had not yet been set in motion, but I was just praying this path would be smooth.
(A/N) Please review, I love my readers dearly and it would be great to hear what you think. Thank you.
