I open the door and my father is there along with Caius, Demetri and Felix "What the hell?" I asked wide-eyed "Can we come in?" My father asks "Uh I have company Klaus and The Soldier are here" My father nods "It's fine I am not here to do anything to them or you" I nod and stand aside to let them in avoiding eye contact with Caius. I walk ahead to the living room "Uh Klaus, Winter this is my father Aro Volturi" I look toward my father Klaus gets up and shakes my father's hand, Winter as per usual stands up fists clenched. I walk over to him and put my hand on his arm "It's ok" He looks down at me and nods unclenching his fists "So what are you doing here father?" I ask sitting beside Winter "I don't like how you ended our call and I couldn't call you back so I'm here" I scoff "And you had to bring him?" I point to Caius still not looking at him "Yes you and him need to talk obviously" I laugh "Not gonna happen I meant what I said Me and him are done as far as I'm concerned" Felix steps forward "Oh come on Felix what are you gonna do to me huh? Kill me again? Hey go for it cause I promise you if you are still here when I wake up, You are going to get a lot worse than Jane using her gift on you" For the first time I look to Caius and he is glaring at Winter "Caius I would stop giving The Soldier that look if I were you I'm sure he could kick your ass Vampire or not" He turns his glare to me "You like this Barbarian?" I smirk "Would not be your business even if I did" He lunges at Winter only for him to get punched in the jaw by Winters metal arm and fall flat on his ass, I burst out laughing "Told you so" Felix goes to lunge for Winter next but I step in between and put my vampire face on "How about I get even for you killing me huh?" He smirks and lunges at me I speed behind him and wait for him to turn around before using my powers to throw him in the air and elbow him in the jaw as he comes back down thank god for high ceilings, He falls on his ass and groans holding his jaw "Who taught you that one?" Demetri asks smiling "Klaus did oh and I did have human blood recently so that helps or could you not tell by my eyes Felix?" I smirk at Felix sitting on the floor still "Obviously not" He growls standing up and going back over to my father "Um Raven you might want to call off The Soldier" My father asks smirking I look at what he is talking about, Winter has Caius pinned to the floor with his metal hand and is aiming a pistol at Caius' head with the other. I start laughing "Cu excepția cazului în care acestea sunt gloanțe militare, probabil că nu vor funcționa" (Unless those are military grade bullets they probably won't work) He looks over to me and slides Caius along the floor to my fathers feet I go into hysterics at this point "Thank you for that Caius that was just lovely" He glares at me and stands up "You know what we are talking whether you like it or not" He runs over grabs me and runs out of the house, I hear a gun being fired but we are too far away.

Caius finally puts me down as we get to a small beach "I'm going to kill you!" I scream and lunge at Caius he stops me by plunging his hand into my chest and holding my heart "Are you going to listen to me now?" I smirk "No" and throw my body back making him rip my heart out.

I wake up back at the house "Ugh don't tell me Caius was decent enough to bring me back here" Klaus runs over to me "No he wasn't Demetri tracked you with The Soldier, Caius is in the other room recovering" I tilt my head "Recovering?" He smiles "The Soldier shot him in the head it actually knocked him out" I laugh "Good" And sit up "Where is Winter?"
"He's downstairs, Want me to go get him?" I nod sitting up and he runs out.
Not even 5 minutes later and Winter walks in "Klaus mi-a spus că poți proiecta amintiri în altcineva, vreau să-mi arăți ce ai avut sau ai avut cu Caius" (Klaus told me you can project memories into someone else, I want you to show me whatever you had or have with Caius) I nod and motion for him to come over and sit on the bed, He sits on the bed and I put my hand on his head like I did with Tony. About 5 minutes later I have shown him everything and he glares "He's ripped your heart out twice, Why is he still breathing?" I laugh "Well he's technically not and technically it was only once, He grabbed my heart yes but I was the one who pulled my body back and made him rip it out this time" He sighs "Why would you do that?"
"I can't talk about it right now I need to shower I feel gross" I get up and head to the bathroom but he gently pushes me up against the wall "You still love him?" I shake my head "No the more I am around him now the more I hate him and regret ever being with him, It makes me realize I was right to run away in the first place" He nods and leans closer to me "Good" He growls in my ear and walks out leaving me very confused and slightly aroused, I take a breath and go for my shower.

I get out the shower about 30 minutes later and go over to the dresser, previous owner left some clothes so I grab one of his tops and put my underwear back on "Woah he was a chunky man" The top is like 4 sizes too big and is more of a dress, I dry my hair and head down to the living room.
I walk into the living room and my father instantly gets up and hugs me "I am glad you are ok my child I love you" He pulls back and looks down at me "What are you wearing?" I laugh "I don't have any clothes here apart from what is now bloodstained oh and I love you too father" I see Felix and Demetri laughing in the corner Klaus and Winter are talking and "Where is Caius?" My father sighs "It appears the bullet did more than we thought and he is not recovering" I don't know why but I tear up "What can we do?" He looks me in the eyes "You my child can heal him he will need to be fed after it and-"
"I can let him feed on me" Winter comes over to me and pulls me into the next room "Your going to help him!?" I slide down the wall and sit on the floor with my knees to my chest sobbing "I-I h-have t-to not for me b-but my f-father would b-be lost" He crouches down in front of me "And if he hurts you again?" I look into his eyes "I-I don't know" He nods and pulls me to my feet "Fă ce trebuie să faci"(Do what you have to) He mumbles and walks out, I groan and make my way to the room Caius is in.
I walk into the room "Oh my god" He is laying on the bed with a bullet hole right between his eyebrows I walk over to him and use my powers to pull the bullet out, The wound heals but it's not enough. I focus my powers into my hands and as I place them on his chest he gasps and bolts upright from the bed "Caius?" He turns to me dark-eyed and growls "Your gonna need to drain me now" Not a second later he runs at me and grabs me biting into my neck and draining me.

I wake up on my sofa with Klaus holding my hand and Winter sitting by my feet "Ugh how long was I out?" Everyone looks at me "Um about an hour and a half "Where is Caius?" I look to my father "Outside" I stretch and stand up before trying to go outside but Winter stops me "What are you doing?" I sigh "I am going to talk to my oh so lovely ex, Please move" He glares at me "You know just because I have been nice to you so far doesn't mean I won't stop you" He growls and I sigh "Ok" I use my powers to move him out of my way and hold him against the wall until I get out of the house and onto the porch. "Caius?" He turns runs at me and actually hugs me "I know this is not like me but I am so sorry about how I have been toward you, Please forgive me" He has never been like this I am taken back by it "I-I'm not s-sure I can you ripped my heart out and would have again if I had not done it for you" He stands back and looks into my eyes "It will not happen again" I look at the floor "I will forgive you but we are not back together Caius I-I don't feel that way toward you anymore" He glares at me "It's because of the Barbarian isn't it?" I growl "Would you stop calling him that!" I take a deep breath and groan "Maybe I don't know but he does not feel the same I can tell so it doesn't matter" He looks at me and takes a not needed breath "I will try my hardest to be nicer to you Raven, Starting now here lets go inside" He takes off his cloak and wraps it around me before we walk inside. My father runs over to us and hugs me "Oh my child you and Caius made up I see so when are you coming home?" I give Caius his cloak back and sit on the sofa "Uh I'm not we made up yes but we are not back together" I see a smirk from Winter "B-But Raven why not?" I sigh and sit beside Winter "I still have things to do here I promise I will come to visit and stay sometimes but right now I want to be here, You can still have Demetri, Jane, Alec etc come check on me" He sighs but nods "I suppose you are your mothers daughter after all, Ok fine but Winter Soldier I expect you to keep her safe and take care of her" Winter glares for a moment before nodding "Lo farò" (I will) My father shakes his hand "Well I suppose we should be going Raven I still have that phone call me please" I nod "I will" I hug everyone even Felix goodbye and they leave 5 minutes later "Huh" I shake my head "What is it Sweetheart?"
"Caius kissed my forehead he's never done that before" Klaus laughs "Trying his luck Love don't worry about it" I laugh "Ok I think it's time for bed, Klaus and Winter sleep where you like" I laugh before heading to my bedroom. As soon as I lay down I am out like a light.
