Serefina's POV
"Sure," she answered.
"What do you want to play? War? Go Fish? Crazy 8's?"
"Whatever," she said.
"Fine, then I challenge you to a game of War," he responded.
"I take your challenge," she replied.
"I'm not going to go easy on you," he warned.
"Fine, because I'm not going to go easy on you either," she said.
Demetri and Serefina played for about an hour before she claimed the last of his card.
"And I do believe I won."
"Yes, you did, good game," Demetri said.
"You too," Serefina replied with a yawn.
"You look tired," he noticed.
"I am a bit," she responded.
"Go on, go to sleep. You know, I kind-of envy you. Sleeping allows you to turn your mind off for a while," he replied.
"And I kind-of envy you, when you sleep there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day," she said.
"Yes, but when you're awake you don't get to clear your head, I would very much like to experience dreams again," he responded.
"Dreams are interesting things," she commented.
"Tell me of some dreams you have had," he replied.
"One re-occurring dream of mine when I was younger would be where I was a horse and I would run wild and free," she said.
"If you were a horse, I could see you being pure white with sky blue eyes or your coat would be the same color as your skin, your mane and tail would be the same color as your hair and they would have a slight wave to them and your eyes would be the same color as your eyes," Demetri responded.
"Yeah, that sounds right," Serefina replied.
"Would you want to be wild or tame?" he asked.
"Wild," she said.
"Where would you roam?" he questioned.
"Ireland," she responded.
"Why?" he inquired.
"It's so vast, open and green, and I want to go there so badly," she replied with a yawn.
"Just imagine, you're a horse, wild and free, roaming the plains of Ireland, and you keep on running and running and running and you don't have to stop, not even for a moment," Demetri said.
With each word Serefina felt sleepier and sleepier until she fell asleep.
Demetri's POV
After Serefina fell asleep Demetri hesitantly lied down next to her. He stroked her cheek gently and suddenly she snuggled closer to him and laid her head on his chest. Demetri tensed. A minute later he carefully moved out from under her and she stirred in her sleep. Demetri put a pillow in his place. Once he was sure she wasn't going to wake up he left and checked on everything in the cockpit, and then he returned to the bedroom. Demetri enjoyed watching Serefina sleep; it was some-what of a new concept to him since it had been nearly one thousand years since he last slept.
As the hours passed Demetri got thirstier and thirstier, but he wasn't going to hurt Serefina, that much he knew. Finally, several hours later she woke up.
Serefina's POV
After sleeping for a number of hours Serefina woke up, she stretched, yawned and rubbed her eyes. When they were open she saw Demetri sitting there next to her.
"Good morning," Demetri greeted.
"Morning," Serefina replied.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked.
"Yes," she answered. And then she noticed his eyes, they were as black as coal."Your eyes are much darker than they were last night."
"Yeah, I know. I stayed in here all last night expect for a minute when I went to check on things in the cockpit. I pushed myself so this wouldn't happen again," Demetri said.
"Oh. I had another dream last night," Serefina responded.
"Really? Tell me all about it," he replied.
"I was a horse and I pretty much looked like myself and you were a horse two, and you had a light colored coat, a black mane and tail and you had red eyes. I believe we were in Ireland and we just kept running like there was no tomorrow and eventually we came to a lake and we swam around," she said.
"Well, that sounds interesting. You know, once you're changed you'll be able to run faster than any horse," he replied.
"Really?" she questioned.
"Oh yes, there are a lot of things you can do as a vampire, such as Felix, Alec and I can lift this jet up all by ourselves," he said.
"Oh my word," she replied.
"Okay, I'm exaggerating; we get Afton to help us, but Felix is so fat…" Serefina laughed."I mean, big that he counts as three people."
They sat there and talked for a few more minutes and then Demetri left so Serefina could get changed. When she gave the "all clear" he came back in and she ate while they talked.
"How much longer before we land?" she asked.
"Still quite a few hours, but we're making good time, we picked up some tail winds last night, so we are a little ahead of schedule," he answered.
"Oh, that's good," she said.
"Yes it is," he replied.
Hours later Felix came in and got Demetri.
"Come up to the cockpit lover boy, we'll be landing soon," Felix said.
"That's my cue, you should probably head up to the cabin," Demetri responded.
"All right," Serefina replied.
Demetri took her hand and kissed it, and then he left. After cleaning up a bit Serefina headed up to the cabin.
"Hello my dear," Aro greeted.
"Hello," she responded.
"Come, sit down," Aro said.
Serefina hesitantly sat next to Aro. Soon thereafter they landed in Volterra. Demetri came back to the cabin.
"Serefina," he said, "Welcome to Volterra."
