Carlisle POV

Recap

Aro looked over at Felix and said "Show Carlisle to a room," Felix came to lead me out through another smaller door. "We'll talk later.. Carlisle we have much to discuss." he called after us. I was lead down the long, richly decorated corridors. Even though I appeared to be a guest and welcome I had the feeling that they had yet to decide my fate.

End of recap


I sat in my room and pondered my fate. There was not much else to do. I wondered how they could be so civilised. I was still wary of them I had the unnerving feeling that right now they were deciding whether or not I lived or died.

I had no idea how long I had been in there but eventually Felix came back he opened my door and indicated for me to follow. He was colder, it was as if I had done something to upset, no disappoint him. But how could have I have done something?!


All too soon for my liking we were at the door that lead into the large room that reminded me distinctly of a kings hall. The moment Felix and I entered the room fell silent and all eyes turned towards us. The crowd separated and Aro came forward his face appeared friendly and welcoming, he had a huge smile on his face and his arms were outstretched. He clapped them together and the loud sound of stone hitting stone echoed ominously around the silent room. "Ah Carlisle, how good to see you!" he exclaimed looking positively ecstatic. "Follow me" he said gesturing for me to walk towards him. I anxiously looked around and hesitantly took a small step forward. Aro's laughter filled the hall and I looked up and saw everyone with amused faces. "Come now we're all friends here, we don't bite." Aro said laughing heartily once more at his lame joke. I ached my eyebrows as he said friends. We could hardly be called friends.

I walked towards him knowing that I had no choice. No matter what they said I was treading on dangerous ground here. I desperately wanted to trust them, to end the centuries of loneliness. He lead me through a smaller, shabbier door, into a surprisingly large bright room. The sun shinned in above from a glass dome high above us, making us sparkle. Around us were piles of books. Hundreds, no thousands of volumes all waiting to be read! I looked around hungrily, at the collection that must span back hundreds of years. I noticed that some of the covers were written in some ancient language on yellow parchment in faded ink while others looked fairly new. "Magnificent isn't it" said Aro admiration and awe in his voice. "It took as year to collect them all…… anyway that's not why we're hear." He indicated he wanted me to sit down at one of the many chairs. Reluctantly I tore my gaze away from the amazing wealth of knowledge before me and sat.

Moments later Marcus and Caius entered looking utterly bored as usual.

"Ah now were all here we can begin."
