Authors Note: Hey guys. So I had planned on updating Tuesday but I had a really bad allergic reaction and was down and out for two days. This chapter will be a little lighter in the mood but we wont get out of the gloom for at least two or three chapters, it's expected with Grant. I'm also going to start the series of one shots as a sort of prequel to this.

Disclaimer: I don't own twilight, I'm also still waiting for my Hogwarts acceptance letter. The owl got lost, it's a long flight from Europe to America.

Chapter 10:

Aurora stumbled a bit as she tried to keep up with Bianca's strides. "Is this really necessary?" She asked quietly. Bianca stopped and turned to face her. "Of course this is necessary! You have a psycho after you. I may not look it but I know karate." Bianca stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Aurora snorted. "Oh really?" Bianca bit her lip. "Alright I watched some karate movies on you tube but really me walking you to work is perfectly understandable. You said so yourself, he seems to come after you when your alone. So if I have to I will walk you to work every day."

Aurora smiled. "Well thank you." Bianca grinned back at her, grabbing Aurora's arm, they continued their walk to Volterra's castle.

When they reached the entrance Aurora turned her head to Bianca. "I'll see you after then?" Bianca nodded. She was just about to walk in when Bianca called out. "Wait!" She ran up to Aurora, one hand rummaging through her bag to pull out a small canister. She handed it to Aurora with a grin. "Mace?" Bianca nodded frantically. "Remember to aim it at the eyes!" Aurora rolled her eyes and walked into the building.

The white walls were blurring together. The colors from the pictures all became one streak, meshing together as Aurora spun around in her chair. She had finished what paperwork she had and was waiting for Heidi to come and give her the schedule for next weeks business trip that some of the employee's were going on.

She was spinning faster and faster when suddenly the chair jerked to a violent stop and she almost went tumbling down to the floor. Looking up she was greeted with Demetri's face, grinning like the Cheshire cat.

"Playing on the job, Are we now?" His voice was filled with mirth. Aurora stood up turning to face him, grumbling. "You almost gave me a heart attack." Demetri's grin got wider. "Oh, do I scare you?" Aurora scoffed. "Hardly" She had seen to much and been through hell and back to be scared of Demetri.

His face fell. "C'mon not a little bit?" Aurora smiled, shaking her head. "Why does it matter? Your eyes are a little creepy, is it genetic? The red." Demetri tilted his head. "Something like that." She sighed, it wasn't like she expected a straight answer, Heidi spoke in riddles as it was, she changed the subject. "So I haven't seen you around in awhile?" Demitri smiled. "I was dealing with some business. Why, did you miss me?" He asked her leaning in closer to her.

Aurora's heart was pounding. She started to feel dizzy. "N..No." Demitri leaned in closer, his nose brushing her neck. "Not even a little bit." Aurora felt herself heating up. "I just met you, We've had like one conversation before this. Why would I miss you?" Demetri breathed in, then pulled back. "Well we'll just have to change that, won't we?"

Aurora sputtered. She couldn't think of a response. Demetri's smile just got bigger and bigger after every awkward second ticked by. She was just about ready to high tail it and run when they were interrupted.

"Ex..Excuse me." Aurora looked at the girl in front of her. The poor thing looked as if she was about to have a nervous break down. "Yes, can I help you." The girl nodded. "My sister, she went on the tour earlier this mourning and she hasn't come back. She's been gone almost five hours, I've looked every where." Aurora smiled softly. "I'm sure she's fine. I can try to get a hold of the tour guide if that helps." The girl nodded. "Please."

"No, I'll take her through the tour route." Aurora turned to look at Demetri. The smile had dropped off his face and was replaced with a look of seriousness. "Really." The girl asked. Demetri nodded and looked at Aurora. "I know the route and this way she doesn't have to wait for Heidi."

Aurora smiled. "If it's easier." It made sense to her. She sat back down in her chair and watched as Demetri walked off with the girl in tow.

It was an hour later when Heidi brought her the rest of her paper work. She was nearing the pile when a phone rang. Looking at the phone on her desk, she was confused when it wasn't lighting up with each ring. It was her cell phone. She reached for it cautiously. Not many people had her cellphone number.

"Hello."

"Hello Fawn." She stopped breathing. "How did you get this number?" There was a chuckle. "That's not important right now Fawn." She grit her teeth. "You should really watch out for your friends better Fawn. She was so pretty. So,so pretty"

The phone dropped form her hand.
