(A/N) These chapters are getting harder and harder to write, because the story is becoming more and more emotional. Huge thanks to everyone who reviewed. Please enjoy this chapter.

I stayed in my own room, that night. Marcus stayed in his. I needed to just see what I would leave behind when we started our own life. I took a long time examining my room. It had been a sanctuary to me for so long. But my room wasn't all I'd miss. I opened the door quietly because although no one slept at night, they were all busy. I crept down the long, ellaborate corridors and into the big, spacious living rooms. Not one detail went unnoticed.
"Didyme? What are you doing here?" Heidi whispered from the other side of the long corridor. She did not want to disturb anyone either. I hung my head, slightly ashamed. Marcus and I had told no one of our plans yet. It was to be a suprise. So what was I mean to do now?
"Just... wandering." I replied. The Volturi knew me as a dreamer. Perhaps this was an acceptable excuse.
Heidi strutted down the hall, an evil gleam in her bright red eyes.
"Are you sure thats all your doing?" She asked in a strange tone. It was oddly superiour, as if she knew something I didn't. When she reached me she grabbed my wrist pulling me through a door.
"Come with me." She commanded.
What was going on? Wasn't my rank higher up than hers? Could she speak to me like that? Abruptly, I was furious. Surley, I should be treated with respect. Marcus was as high as you could get in the Volturi and I was his mate. Aro was just the same and I was his sister. I should be the one commanding her.
I held my chin up, determined to keep some dignity. My pace matched hers.
"Where are we going?" I asked sternly.
"You shall see." She replied smugly. I halted, causing her to halt too.
"Tell me where we are going." I ordered, feeling in control for once.
Heidi's fiery eyes blazed. Her lips pressed together. Her nostrils flared. With her free hand, she flicked her long, mahogany hair behind her shoulder. I frowned in disgust.
Heidi had always been vain - it was why I didn't really like her. With thick long lashes, silky brown hair, ideal endless legs, she was certainly prettier than me. She was taller than me too, which is why it was so hard to look down at her.
I took one, two, three breaths to calm myself.
"Tell me where we are going." I repeated, each word standing stronger than before. Heidi exhaled sharply.
"I'm taking you to one of the chambers." I didn't like the way she phrased that - 'I'm taking you...' - it sounded as though she was in charge.
"Why?" I asked, confused. She deliberated.
"I want to show you something." She explained impatiently, dragging me off again.
Finally, we stumbled through one of the many big wooden doors and into the main chamber. I cursed Heidi for taking me here. For ruining what was meant to be pleasent memories.
Someone cleared their throat then, and I realized we were not alone. I raised my head and my eyes met Aro's. He wore an expression I had only seen once before - a long, long time ago.
