Chapter 20: I Love You

(Alec's POV)

The second Demetri was able to get a lock on Violet we ran out of the castle and to Rome. The men form the covens that were at the castle joined us. Demetri tracked Violet to a large house right outside of Rome.

"In there." Demetri said as we stopped outside the house.

"There's newborns everywhere in there." A person said from a tree above us. We all looked up to see a man with short black hair looking down at us.

"Who are you?" I growled and Jane narrowed her eyes.

"David," he replied jumping down from the tree, "downstairs."

"What?" Jane hissed.

"The girl is in the basement," he said then ran inside before we could stop him.

"We have to attack now." Felix said and we followed him inside. The second we were inside, chaos broke out. I was fighting a newborn when he was thrown away from me by Jasper.

"You go get Violet," he said, "we can handle things up here." For once, I didn't argue. I ran down the halls trying to find the stairs to the basement. I ran into two other Vampires in the hall.

"Did you enjoy my torture session?" one said smirking darkly and I growled glaring at him.

"You're behind this." I hissed and the guy next to him matched my couch.

"You don't have any power here," he said with a knowing smirk.

"You think so?" Jane said sweetly from behind me and the guy fell to the floor screaming. Felix and Demetri killed his partner before he could defend himself. I looked at Jane and she briefly released him from her gift while Demetri and Felix restrained him.

"Where Violet?" I hissed and he didn't respond.

"Third door to the left," I looked over to see David before he ran off again.

"Traitor!" I heard the guy yell even though David was gone.

"He's all yours sister." I said running off to the basement. The first thing I saw when I got to the basement was Vladimir and Stefan. I crouched and growled lowly at them and they did the same.

"Alec," I snapped my eyes to the voice from behind them to see Violet sitting against the wall. I forgot about the Romanians and ran over to her kneeling by her. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me.

"I'm sorry," I whispered, "Violet, I'm so sorry." She was safe now. I suddenly remembered the Romanians and quickly stood up into a crouch and growled at them. I felt Violet grab my arm and try to stand up. I unconsciously wrapped my arm around her to help support her. I started to let my mist come out of my free hand.

"Please don't fight." Violet said sounding exhausted.

"Stay out of this Violet." I hissed and heard Vladimir growl. I watched as Stefan stood up from his crouch and placed a hand on Vladimir's shoulder.

"Another time." He said to my great surprise. After a minute, Vladimir also stood up and they ran out. I noticed that Vladimir looked at Violet with an unreadable expression then disappeared.

Present time:

I stroked Violet's hair as she continued to cry into my chest while we lay under the covers. After another hour, she calmed down; however, she didn't move from her position. I kept one arm wrapped around her as I stroked her hair with the other. I tuned over onto my back and pulled her onto my chest listening to her breathing.

"England." I said looking at the ceiling and she shifted a little.

"What?" she asked confused and I took a deep breath.

"I was born in England," I told her, "sometime before 800 A.D in a small farming town." Violet moved up so our faces were level, her hair creating a wall around our faces.

"Were you a farm boy?" she asked and I smirked.

"I did work on my father's farm," I said my smirk vanishing, "there was nothing else I could do for work." There was silence between us for a while before Violet spoke.

"Story time?" she asked and I sighed. I picked her up bridal style and set her on the couch by the lit fire place. I sat by her and she cuddled up to me.

"My father was one of the wealthiest men in our village," I started, "he owned one of the largest properties."

"How did he get so wealthy?" she asked and I shrugged.

"Something about my very great grandfather being one of the village's founding members." I responded and she nodded.

"I learned that his marriage to Jane and I's mother was an arranged marriage, which wasn't uncommon for that time." I continued, "Our mother was a very healthy woman until..." I trailed off.

"She got pregnant with you and Jane." Violet said and I sighed.

"Ya," I replied then continued, "that's when the villagers begun to get suspicious. However, we were tagged as 'children of the devil' after we were born. It was very uncommon for twins to be born in our town and the majority of twins that were born died a few weeks after birth." I paused for a minute and watched Violet shift to sit in my lap.

"A week after our birth, our mother died from an illness and the rumors of us being 'children of the devil' became our nicknames. By the time we were six, we were going to school; but were soon kicked out."

"Why?" Violet asked.

"Jane and I were left handed; being left handed was a 'sign that you were possessed by the devil.' That's when our father started to beat us." I took a deep breath before continuing, "We were still living in the large house, but had to do hard labor every day. From sunrise to sunset, I was working in the fields with little to no breaks while Jane was in charge of cleaning the house and cooking. We did get some days off, but those were very rare."

"What did you do on those days?" Violet asked and I smiled a little.

"There was a forest behind our father's house." I replied, "Over the years we built a small hut that we would run off to. We would spend hours there just talking and playing. I would always tell Jane that I would build her a tree house, but it never happened.

We did go to town, but only when we had to. Our father would sometimes make us go to town to buy supplies, but villagers would never sell anything to us; so he made one of his servants go instead and we would help carry the supplies." I fiddled with Violet's shirt while I talked.

By the time we were eighteen; we rarely went to town and were working more than the servants were. Every time we would go into town, people avoided and most of the time they would chase us out by throwing rocked at us or beating us with sticks.

Our father had also stopped feeding us when we were fifteen, so we survived off scraps and had to resort to steeling food. When we turned sixteen, our gifts started to appear. Strange things would always happen around us; the fact that we were steeling didn't help our situation. This was when the villagers started calling us the 'witch twins.'" I paused and stared into the fire.

"A few weeks after we turned nineteen, Jane got into a conflict while helping a servant get supplies in town. A few girls had pushed her to her limit and she told them to go die and that's what happened. A couple nights later, one of the girls became very sick and died from her illness. The villagers went to the church and accused us of being witches and in alliance with the devil."

"And the church came after you." Violet stated and I nodded not taking my eyes off the fire.

"I remember working in the fields when I heard Jane scream. I instantly ran to help her, only to be restrained by several men. They drug me and Jane through the town and to the church dungeon where we were interrogated for days. After the first two days of asking questions and us saying we were innocent of the accused crimes, the church turned to torture." My arm around Violet's waist tightened.

"Every time we would say we didn't practice witch craft or we weren't in alliance with the devil; they would torture us with whips and hot pokers. Eventually we gave a false confession just to stop the torture. That night, they tattooed the mark of the devil on our hands. The next morning we were taking to the tall wooden crossed which were surround by hay and wood. The villagers gathered around as we were tied up and the preacher announced our crime. As he spoke they lit the hay and wood and the fire slowly made its way up to us.

By this point I truly believed that Jane was possessed because she kept screaming curses and others words of hatred. I didn't scream at first because I didn't want them to have the satisfaction of making me suffer. However, as the flames burned up my body I let my screams come out. After a while I started to lose consciousness and just wished that the pain would stop. Jane never stopped screaming at the villagers though. Just as I started to drift off into unconscious, I heard screaming from around me and someone splashing cold water on my burning body." I paused and closed my eyes to get the memories out of my head.

"The next thing I knew," I continued, "was that I was burning up again. I honestly thought I had died and was sent to hell, but that wasn't the case at all. I woke up to see Jane hovering above me with bright red eyes. I will never forget how Aro smiled at us warmly and very relieved to see us. After he explained what had happened to us, Jane and I vowed to despise humans and make them suffer." There was a beat of silence before Violet spoke.

"What happened to the villagers?" she asked and I couldn't hold back my dark smirk.

"The Volturi killed most of them and the rest they took as prisoners. Some that were prisoners were Jane and I's first meal while the others became servants to the Volturi. Jane and I made their lives hell while they were serving the ancients-" I stopped dead not sure if I should continue.

"What?" Violet asked looking up at me.

"I don't think you'd want to hear the rest." I admitted and she sighed.

"It's ok," she said, "you can continue." I hesitated for a minute.

"Aro left their fate in our hands when we had enough control over our thirst. Jane would always torture them with her gift before she killed them."

"And you?" Violet pressed and I bit my lip.

"I mainly focused on the young women that were taken," I said, "I would...more of use them to my...satisfaction before killing them." I really struggled to tell her this. Violet tensed for a second and I knew what she was thinking and quickly reassured her.

"I never did anything they didn't want," I said, "I may be a vampire, and an evil one at that; but I do have my morals. The woman that I...used were hoping I would make them immortal if they threw themselves at me." I internally rolled my eyes.

"Right," Violet muttered, "so you weren't kidding when you told me that your women make an excellent snack." I held back a chuckle, but couldn't keep the smirk off my face.

"Nope." I said and she sighed relaxing back into my arms.

"Am I a snack?" Violet asked and I laughed. I moved my lips to my mark on her neck and slowly lick up to her ear.

"The most delicious snack I've ever had." I said and she giggled. I lay back on the couch while I positioned Violet to straddle me. She raised her eyebrows at me and I knew why; I always liked to be on top of her and in control. I pulled her down so our chest were touching and our faces only inches apart while she kept her hands on my shoulders.

"I cried," I whispered, "the third time they set you on fire, I cried when the pain had gone." Violet moved her hands and placed them on either side of my face while I kept my arms around her. She placed her forehead to mine and closed her eyes. She stroked my hair with one hand.

"You're ok Alec," she said softly, "and thank you for opening up to me." I sighed and placed a hand in her hair then kissed her. I broke the kiss to speak.

"I'm not going to change Violet," I told her truthfully, "I truly enjoy torturing humans and killing them. You are too kind to be with me."

"I know," she smiled, "I don't want you to changed though Alec; to be honest, I like your dark side just as much as I like your nice side." I smirked feeling cocky.

"Which side do you like in bed?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.

"Not the time Alec." She said and I sighed.

"It was worth a try." I muttered and she rolled her eyes again. She rested her head on my chest and stared at the fire while I closed my eyes and stroked her hair again. I let out a purr when she ran her fingers along my bicep in a soothing way.

I could spend an eternity in this position.

(Demetri's POV)

It's been a week since we got Violet back and she's spent most of her time with Alec. I was walking in the garden with Felix when Violet came up to us and dug us to the forest behind the castle. She turned on her heel with her hands on her hips smiling.

"I have a job for you two," she said, "and if you can get it done in four days without anyone finding out; I will convince Aro to get a hug movie room with a PlayStation 4." We both had huge smiles on our faces.

"What do you need?" Felix asked and her eyes lit up with joy.

(Alec's POV)

I was leaving the throne room with Jane after dinner when Violet ran up to us; more like bounced up to us.

"I have a surprise for you!" she said and handed us a couple of blind folds. After a few minutes of arguing, she forced us to put them on and led us to lord knows where.

"Where are you taking us?" I asked annoyed that I couldn't see anything.

"I don't like being blind," Jane muttered. We stopped after a while and Violet released our hands.

"Count to ten then you can take off the blind folds." She said and we did. During our counting I heard Violet run off. I took off the blind fold at ten and was shocked at what I saw. We were somewhere in the woods and there was a tree house above us. I watched Jane walk forward and pick up a note.

An early birthday present ~ Violet

Jane smiled brightly and pulled me towards the stairs that led up to the house. I followed her up the stars and into the black painted tree house. The inside was painted a dark red and had two cushion chairs with a book shelf already stocked on one side. On the other side was a shelf with games. There was also sketch pads for me and a violin for Jane. Violet had also hung two large paintings that she did. One was sketch on a canvas of me and Jane. The other was Aro and his brothers with me and Jane on either side. My eyes landed on a coffee table with a note on it; I picked it up and read it aloud.

A private get away for the twins. Enjoy ~ Violet.

I sat on a chair and smiled while Jane played her new violin. It's been a long time since she's played. I leaned back in my seat while opening a sketch pad and stared to draw while my sister played.

Violet was truly amazing.

(Demetri's POV)

I sat on the floor in the throne room playing a card game with Violet, Chelsea, Felix, Afton, and some of the Cullens who decided to stay for a visit. Aro was talking to Carlisle while Marcus and Caius sat in their seats reading. Alec and Jane had been gone for hours and only me, Felix, Aro, and Violet knew where they were. I was surprised at first when Violet asked me and Felix for help on building a tree house, but I did have a lot of fun. Especially whenever Violet would lecture Felix.

Violet stood up and joining in on Aro's and Carlisle's conversation when she lost the game. After putting on the puppy dog pout; Violet was finally able to get the ancients to agree to the building of a movie room. Felix and I already have the plans and the Cullen boys offered to help with the construction.

Alec and Jane walked into the room looking happier than I've ever seen. Jane ran up to Violet and gave her a hug before walking over to her mate. Alec walked up to Violet next and wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you." He said then kissed her. I thought it was an amazing moment, especially since it was rare for Alec to been seen in such a happy mood. Unfortunately Emmett Cullen wasn't aware of that information.

"Get a room!" his voice boomed through the room and everyone laughed. Alec gave Emmett his famous death glare, but this only made everyone laugh harder. Alec rolled his eyes and drug Violet out of the room.

(Alec's POV)

It took all my strength to act annoyed at Emmet's comment, but inside I was laughing. I entwined my fingers with Violet's as we walked back to our room. As soon as we got there, I locked the door then pulled her in for a deep kiss. She moaned when I slipped my tong into her mouth and lifted her leg up my waist. I lifted her up and ran over to the bed falling on top of her.

(M Rated! If you don't like skip to end!)

"Impatient?" Violet teased and I laughed while undressing her. Violet took my shirt of and right as I went to remove her bra, she flipped us over and straddled my waist. I glared up at her while she smirked. She leaned down and kissed me before speaking.

"My turn to be in control lover." She said and I growled getting very hard. Violet placed her hands on my arms and held them at my side; to my great annoyance.

'Just let her have this one Alec.' I chanted in my head.

Violet kissed me then moved her lips down my jaw and to my neck. She licked and nibbled her way down to my chest and I heard her purr while she planted kisses along my chest. Her hands moved to my pants and I helped her take them off along with my underwear. I groaned in need while she kissed her way down my body.

'Control yourself Alec.' I told myself wanting to be in her so badly. However, her lips along my body felt so amazing and I only wish I let her do this sooner. Violet truly is-

I growled loudly and my fists clenched the blanked under me making them tear when Violet licked my shaft.

"Again." I hissed out squeezing my eyes shut. Defiantly should've let her take control a lot sooner...

She laughed and I snapped my eyes open to see her face level with mine.

"What was that?" she teased and I growled.

"Don't stop." I groaned giving up on the demanding; I will find a way to make her pay for making me beg. I moaned when she took me in her mouth and my hips bucked while I stupidly beg her not to stop. Violet licked and sucked on my shaft for lord knows how long; however, when I was close to coming she stopped and sat up smiling brightly at me.

'Screw control.' I thought and flipped us over so quickly she gave a small yelp of surprise. I tore off her bra and underwear then kissed and licked her body. I purred, a smile forming on my lips as I kissed up to her ear.

"You're a little vixen aren't you?" I said and she giggled and brought my lips to hers.

"Your little vixen," she said breaking the kiss for a second. We both purred then moaned in union when I slowly pushed inside of her; I stilled just to savor this moment and looked into her eyes. After a minute I started a very slow rhythm beyond happy that it annoyed her. Our hands explored each other's bodies as we kissed and moved together. We continued this slow pace for several hours not wanting it to end. Eventually it did and Violet screamed out as her orgasm hit her hard and I growled while releasing inside of her.

(End M Rated)

I lay on my back while pulling Violet on top of me; both of us panting unnecessary breaths. Suddenly we heard a loud crack and the bed fell apart. The four poles fell to the ground while the feet gave in making the bed crash to the ground. Violet sighed and rolled over on her back.

"I'm going to invent a new bed," she said putting her hands in the air and moving them to express her point, "it's going to be called 'the bed that can handle vampire sex.'" I laughed and rolled on top of her.

"I like that," I said and she smiled. We were about to kiss when a knock came at the door.

"What the hell are you two doing in there?!" Felix's voice echoed into our room. I sighed and let my head fall into the base of her neck while Violet spread her arms out on the bed.

"Building a new bed!" Violet shouted and Felix laughed while walking away.

"What are we going to tell Aro?" she asked and I froze.

Crap!

Aro is going to murder me for breaking another bed...

Author's Note:

Sorry if the chapters haven't been very good so far, I've been really stressed with finals and have been hitting so many writer's blocks as well. I will be going on break soon though so that might help.

Thanks for reading! I'm planning on putting Vladimir and Stefan in the next chapter and they're probably going to be sitting in the same room as Alec :)
