Chapter 17 – Jealous Ruby

I awoke slowly, squirming relentlessly around the mattress. My eyes fluttered at the abstract light shining from the window, it was so weird that the passage way to the castle led from Volterra yet that castle sat on the outskirts. I guess that was so people wouldn't see in, even though there were no windows on the bottom floor. I sighed and turned over to meet Alec's eyes, he sat watching me in the armchair.

"Gah!"

He chuckled making me blush.

"Alec. I can't believe you!" I screamed falling of the bed, which seems to be a habit of mine. In seconds Alec was above me, his arm wrapped around my waist as he pulled me up to his lips.

I melted in his arms and he laughed gently, pushing me softly onto the bed.

He climbed on top of me, holding his self up on his forearms.

"Morning. Mio angelo. You are absolutely ravishing this morning" he murmured against my lips.

I moaned just wanting him to kiss me which he gladly done. His lips were surprisingly soft, and the coldness soothed me.

I slung my legs around his hips and pulled myself against him. He groaned and kissed my forehead and back down to my lips.

"I wan you" he whispered and I whimpered wanting it as much.

Slam!

"Oh! Jeez. Get a room!" I heard Heidi shout from the door. I bent my head back to see her horror struck expression and the long linen purple dress that slung over her arms.

"Hi" I said sheepishly, and in a innocent tone. "Heidi? Do you think I can wear trousers, for once please?" I begged.

"Nope" she said popping the 'p' "No way, you are my doll"

Alec laughed, then kissed me before getting up and leaving.

"Love you" I shouted down the hall and I received the word back from a chuckling Alec.

I laughed gently to myself, shaking my head.

Heidi skipped over to me and grinned.

"What?" I asked scared for life.

"I won the bet!" she exclaimed.

Oh dammit! She did, I now have to be the fisher when I turn. Or, I could just kill her, and have Aro banish me? No, no. That's crazy. I'd probably be killed, and they'd make Alec watch or do it himself, Okay what the hell is wrong with my head?

I frowned but nodded my head, no use disagreeing with a vampire, and Heidi at that. She possessive, obsessive and downright crazed.

"I want you to meet someone" Heidi smiled. "His name is Nathan. He's a nomad from Switzerland; he comes to visit us every ten years." She smiled.

I nodded, what is so special about this guy? Heidi is getting all giddy.

She flattened her hair and her long blouse. She smiled at her reflection and pulled me out the door.

We neared the hall, with the steel doors. I instantly got the chills. I remembered what happened when I first came through these doors.

The screams, the blood, the cries. I shuddered forcing the memory to fade.

Heidi pushed open the doors, not breaking sweat and I hesitated before stepping inside.

There stood Aro, Caius and Marcus, behind a man with dark hair that tied in a pony, he wore a leather jacket and brown slacks, he obviously can't dress himself.

"Ah. Ashley. Heidi" Aro smiled.

Nathan then turned his gaze to Heidi, looking her up and down, smirking then his blood red eyes turned to mine. His eyes widened and his smile became larger.

Heidi took my hand leading me forward towards the man. Nathan took my hand from Heidi and kissed it. I felt disgust hit me and I forced myself from gagging, sure he was beautiful but he gave me the image of a slimy pervert.

He closed his eyes and gasped.

"Gold" he whispered making Aro grin.

"What!?" I interrupted.

They turned their gaze to me, Nathan smirking and Aro grinning happily.

"What do you mean by gold?" I whispered.

Aro laughed lightly stepping forward and clasping his hand on my shoulder. "Dear child. Nathan has the ability to see powers by colour with one touch. Gold means the most powerful and gracious."

Nathan began to speak making me jump. "Yet. Your colour is gold but it shines from inside, meaning you shall either receive power or give others power. Either way great magic will come from you"

Aro smile became wider almost creepily wide. I stood slightly confused but let it pass, no way would I understand their ramblings.

Heidi kissed my temple and was bouncing slightly. She seemed so happy about this gold aura.

Nathan cleared his throat, smirking at me. "Aro, old friend. May I speak alone with your human?" he asked.

Aro looked tempted to say no but agreed, Nathan led me outside and down the corridor.

"It's magnificent how you radiate gold" he smiled down at me, I resisted the urge to run away and smiled politely at him.

"You are beautiful though so I shall not be surprised." He smiled again, was he trying to chat me up?

"Thank you" I whispered timidly.

He smiled please at himself.

My heart beat sped up in fear, this guy scares the hell out of me. Unfortunately Nathan took the speed of my heart wrong and moved me against the wall. He bent down and I turned my face to the side so he kissed my cheek, he did not like that and grabbed my chin so I faced him, I closed my eyes tightly and imagined it was Alec, but when the lips came crashing down they were too hard, too forceful to be Alec. I squirmed and he held me tighter until he was gone.

I opened my eyes to see him pinned in the air by Alec's hand around his throat, a malicious growl rippled through Alec.

Nathan hissed and through Alec off him, they descended into blurs, moving so fast I couldn't see them.

Alec threw him down the hall and then Nathan had Alec pinned under his body, I screamed and ran towards them.

Arms coiled around me holding me back, I was hit with Felix's distinct almond and sugar scent.

All I could do was watch as they fought; I screamed and thrashed but couldn't push myself from Felix's grip. At first I couldn't understand why Alec didn't just block his senses but then I realised, Alec wanted Nathan to see, hear, smell and feel Alec tear him apart.

"Alec!" I screamed thrashing harder as Nathan threw him.

"No" I whimpered as tears dropped from my cheeks. "Please"

Then I saw the cloaked figure at the other side, Jane's small stance and eerie danger. Nathan dropped, screaming and holding his head. Jane smiled wider and Nathan screamed in agony. Felix let me go and I dropped to my knees. I could almost feel his pain until I blacked out.

The light scarred my eyes as I slowly opened them. I looked around and took in Alec's figure. He sat in the arm chair. His face in his hands. I slowly inclined from the bed and kneeled in front of him. He looked up and I saw the pain in his eyes, making me feel my own pain.

"Do you like him?" he croaked.

"What?"

He growled lightly "Do. You. Like. Nathan?"

I shook my head rapidly. "Wha-no! No. Why would you ask that?"

"You kissed him!" he stood.

I shook my head. "No. He kissed me. I tried to get away but I can't overpower a vampire!"

He sat back down in the pained position again.

"I love you" he whispered.

"Not as much as I love you" I leaned my head sideways on his knee.

He stroked my hair. "Not possible. Mio angelo"

I sighed and let tears drop. How could he think I liked Nathan? I love Alec, and Alec only.

Alec pulled me to my feet and sat me on the edge of my bed. He pulled something out of his pocket.

I felt a gasp escape my lips at the beauty of it. It had small pearls to the bottom were sat a large delicate gold twisted shape with a dark ruby stone in the middle. He slipped it around my neck and fastened it, he kissed along my collar bone before looking me in the eye. It sat just above my belly button, it was long and beautiful. (A/N Pic on profile; tis pretty)

"It's amazing" I whispered.

He grinned. "It was grandma Hayes.

" I can't. It's too"

He cut me off, by putting a finger on my lips.

"Wear it. To show that I love you and you are mine" he smiled.

I felt kind of like a possession then but my, when he basically said he owned me it was hot. I smiled and bent forward to kiss him. I kissed along his jaw line and I felt him shake below me. I grinned.

"I love you. Mio angelo"

Ta da! :) What'dya think? :) Hmmmmm...?
