Chapter 6

Serina

Serina gulped as she saw him standing there in her room. Felix's face was scaring her. It was cold and stone. He wasn't looking at her his eyes were firmly fixed on Demetri and they were filled with a burning fury. She had never seen that look on his face before. Slowly she stood up Demetri helped balance her and then swiftly released her and put his arms behind his back.

"Serina had fallen I was only catching her Felix." Despite what had just happened Demetri looked composed and calm. His voice was flat and gave nothing away about his emotions. She envied him the ability to hide feelings. She was an open book. Felix relaxed a little but his eyes still had an accusing look in them. She took in a deep breath and tried to cool her face. If Felix hadn't found them she wasn't sure what would have happened. She didn't know if she felt relieved or disappointed. Her life was spiralling out of control again and the alcohol in her system wasn't helping. Sighing, she turned to face Felix.

"He's telling the truth. I was a bit tipsy and I slipped. I probably would have broken my ankle if Demetri hadn't caught me." she said. Felix sighed and his shoulders dropped.

Felix

Felix couldn't understand the rage he had felt upon seeing the two of them holding each other. It had been a white hot fury and he had wanted to rip Demetri to pieces for touching his ma-. He shook his head. He was probably just being overprotective of her. In his mind she was still that defenceless little girl. At least that was what he told himself.

"Sorry I overreacted." he said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. Demetri and Serina looked at him uneasily and he cleared his throat. "Demetri, Aro wants to see you about some missing vampire mission." He kept his eyes on his friends as he moved towards the window. Even though his shoulders had relaxed he stood in a intimidating pose that was a clear warning to back off.

Demetri

He could see how on edge Felix was and his stance radiated aggression. What had he been thinking pulling Serina close to him? He had put her in grave danger...had he lost control. He shuddered slightly at the images in his head. He looked to his agitated friend and nodded. He was about to leave when he turned to Serina who was looking at him with a small smile on her face. She was so beautiful. He smiled slightly at her and said.

"Goodbye Serina. I hope we meet again." She nodded. He turned towards the window and jumped out of it onto the cold stone streets of the city. He began to run back to the palace trying his hardest to wipe away the memory of Serina in his arms and pulling her nearer to his mouth.

Serina

The second Demetri was out of the room the atmosphere warmed up . Felix seemed to relax even more and a true smile appeared on his handsome face. Gah! She had to stop thinking like that. Now that his strange mood had passed she felt safe around him. But what was she supposed to say to the vampire who had saved her life when she was a child? He wasn't saying anything either just staring at her like he couldn't believe she was here.

"So are you just going to gawk at me or are we going to talk." his voice jolted her out of her musings and she raised an eyebrow at him. His voice, pose and face all screamed arrogance and she itched to wipe that smug grin off his face.

"Gawking? No I think you mean examining in horror." she said and was pleased to see his grin drop.

"You wound me with your harsh words. My heart it is breaking. I can see my life flashing before me." he said dramatically waving his arms in the air. She laughed and moved closer to him.

"I thought vampires were the undead and that their hearts didn't beat." she said sitting down on the bed. He stopped laughing and looked at her with sad eyes.

"A heart doesn't have to beat to break." he said, she paused and looked at him. Unsure of what to say she put an arm around him and hugged him. Silently apologising.

Felix

The feel of her arms around him shocked him. He had had little physical contact with humans or vampires and he usually preferred it that way. But she felt so warm and comforting. His arms circled her waist and pressed her against him. He had missed her and she had come back, but they were different and he didn't know how to act around her yet. Part of him acted like the overprotective brother but another part of him acted like he did around women flirty and arrogant. He wasn't sure which side he should be. Her head fit just below his and he inhaled her scent.

It was a mistake. The smell of her blood hit him like a brick wall. It was mouthwatering; a blend of rose, apple and spice that caused the back of his throat to go up in flames. Biting his lip he let her go.

"Man, talk about a mood killer." he said forcing a smile onto his face. The look on her face told him she knew something was wrong. He sighed and looked away.

"Serina now that you're older your blood is calling to me. I'm not sure if I can resist it and I don't want you to see me as the monster I can turn into." he looked back at her and saw that she was in deep thought.

Serina

Serina was re-living that moment when she had seen him drinking blood. It had been terrifying and had rocked her world. But she looked at him and she didn't see a monster she never took Felix's hand in her own and smiled up to him.

"No matter what happens you will always be my hero Felix." and she wrapped her arms around him again although this time she kept a little distance between them. His hand came up and stroked her hair. Her eyes opened, this wasn't a brother-sister hug this was more like a lovers hug. Shock coursed through her and she was about to pull away before she realised that it would hurt him. So she just relaxed into his arms.

AN: I am so sorry for not updating. If I do that again just give me a kick (review or PM)! School is over for Christmas hol so I should update quicker hopefully. Sorry if this disappoints after the wait. I really have no idea who she is going to end up with. Hope you enjoy. Please read and review

Sneak Peak

Serina gulped as she saw the familiar buildings loom up ahead. She gripped Felix's hand as they made there way into the city of Volterra.
