Chapter9

AthenodoraPOV

NOT HER

The family was falling apart. It was plain obvious. The Volturi were cracking and soon we would fall unless I did something. But I couldn't. I wasn't her. She was the one that kept us together. And I wasn't her. We were falling apart.

With grief sunken Marcus and Aro and Sulpicia's marriage slowly drifting, with Jane missing and the newfound love affair between Alec and Corin, with Caius always missing. The family was falling apart and I couldn't stop it.

Because I wasn't her.

She was the strong one. The one to make decisions fast. A creature born only to bring happiness.

Flashback;

'Promise me, Dora, promise me that no matter what happens to me, you'll keep the family together. Promise me you won't let us fall apart.''

'I promise,'

'I didn't keep my promise. But I'm not you. I've never been you. Forgive me.' I speak to the portrait of a young dashing vampire. She has raven black knee-length hair and bright eyes the color of fresh human blood and she is smiling. To who…to her early death…to the pain surrounding her… she is smiling as if she has some sort of an inner joke with herself… and maybe, just maybe I know why we all loved her so much…
