"What did you mean about a Cullen yet?" I asked quickly.

"We'll discuss it when I get back." He said and then he left the room. I stared around the room that was filled with music.

This was Edward's room.

My hand ran across the hundreds of CD's on the wall.

This was going to be an interesting discussion.

Somewhere in the distance a phone rang.

Chapter Eleven – Reminders

Aurora's POV

I sat in the middle of his room on his black leather couch staring in awe at the amount of music.

I could hear chatter downstairs but I was relaxed so I shut them out, I was with Edward...alone.

I closed my eyes and leaned back inhaling his sweet scent.

It had been three hours and as the Cullen's were not going very far to hunt they'd be back soon.

I smiled as I imagined curling up with Edward in bed.

"If you've quite finished fantasizing I'd like to show you something." Jasper teased and I snapped my eyes open. Standing over me stood the blonde vampire, eyebrows raised. "The amount of lust radiating off you almost makes me want to kiss you." He laughed softly.

"Maybe you just wanted to kiss me anyway." I purred and bit my lip.

Jasper shook his head smiling.

"Remarkable, over the course of four-hundred years you have turned into a siren. I hope my brother know what he's getting himself into." Jasper smiled. I smiled back, I took his hand and he helped me off the sofa.

"So what do you want to show me?" I asked. I had taken to not intruding on the Cullen's thoughts and memories – they were secret and it was the respectable thing to do.

"Like you don't already know." He sighed leading the way.

"I don't know, I haven't been picking through your head Jaz." I said linking my arm through his. He opened the door into his study and I stared at his desk.

"Rory, I have a few items..." he said rooting through the box. I approached slowly with a confused expression. He choose something carefully out of the box and held it out to me.

Sitting in the palm of his hand was a delicate silver band.

I had saved up for almost a year to buy it for him.

"Is that my promise band I gave you." I asked taking it softly. Sure enough carved underneath spoke the words that had swirled around my head everyday since he left.

'As you wear this silver band, you hold my delicate heart in your hands.'

My fingers ran over the engraving and I placed it on the desk as he pulled something else out of the box.

A beautiful pearl clip that I instantly recognised sat in his alabaster hands.

"I wondered where my mother's hair grip went. I thought I lost it." I said smacking his arm lightly. Jasper offered it to me and I admired the intricate patterns of pearls.

"Sorry, when I left for the war I kept it in my uniform." He said and I smiled.

"That's dead sweet." I whispered.

"Here, have a rummage through the box. My letters from you are in there along with a few other items." Jasper said passing me the box.

I nodded and took the bow back to Edward's room putting it next to me on the couch as I started to read the letters.

"What's that?" I heard a cheeky voice ask from behind me. I smiled and turned around to be faced by Edward.

"Letters and other stuff. Stuff I gave Jasper." I said smiling. Edward perched on the end of the sofa and stared at me.

"Edward that makes me nervous." I whispered and he laughed.

"We need to talk." He said and I nodded putting the things into the box, I put the box on the floor and patted the space beside me on the sofa.

"Shoot." I said smiling.

"I got a call from Bella." He said slowly. My heart dropped.

"Yeah." I said indicating with my hands for him to continue, I tried to keep my smile on my face but I think I faltered in some places.

"She's coming home." He said quietly. I looked away from his face to my hands biting down hard on my lip.

"Oh." I said trying to stay confident

"Only to visit Charlie, Aurora. I need to talk to her about us." He said and I nodded. She was only visiting, Edward would talk to her and then she'd go back to Florida.

"Do you want me to speak to her?" I said putting my hand on his cheek, he pulled me close to him and sighed.

"No, I need to do this alone but friends of the family are coming for a visit so you'll have a chance to meet our extended family as Carlisle puts it." Edward laughed and I laughed too. His hands stroked my hair and I turned my face into his shirt.

"Aurora, you're just like my mother." Edward whispered quietly. I pulled away and looked at him.

"Huh?"

"Same smile, same insecurities." He laughed lightly. "Trust me Aurora, I choose you. I-I love you." He said seriously and I smiled kissing his on the lips.

"I love you too." I smiled pulling away.

I snuggled back down into his chest and all was silent, the only sounds were the sounds of our breathing.

"Edward?" I asked quietly.

"Yes?"

"Tell me about yourself, your family and everything." I said intrigued. This time he pulled away.

"My story is enough to put even a vampire to sleep." He smiled and I shook my head.

"Come on, you said I reminded you of your mother so I what was she like?" I teased and he sighed.

"I was born in Chicago in 1901..." he started

"Damn, I have a toy boy." I giggled and he raised his eyebrows. "Sorry, I'll shut up."

"When I was 17 I became ill with Spanish influenza. So did my parents Elizabeth and Edward Mason. My father died first, then my mother and then finally Carlisle changed me. My dream was to join the war, I wasn't interested in love. Glory, that all I wanted was glory." he spoke clearly and the whole time I couldn't keep my eyes off his face.

"So you didn't have a girlfriend?" I asked intrigued and he gave me a crooked smile.

"My mother was forever telling me to settle down and marry a beautiful girl that would make me happy and someone for me to look after but all I wanted to serve our country." He smiled and I nodded.

"What was your dad and mom like?" I said leaning back.

"My father was an important business man, his life revolved around that business but he adored my mother. He would be forever giving her attention and by her emeralds because her eyes were green, just like yours were Aurora. My father had blue eyes and was known for being happy. I can remember him being a lot like Carlisle..." he said taking my hand. "My mother was a beautiful bronze hair woman with emerald eyes and dainty hands just like yours. Her heart was the size of her mouth as she loved gossip and getting involved with helping people. My human memories are fading but I still remember the way she looked at me as we were both ill..." I gripped his hand and sat onto his lap.

"You had wonderful parents." I whispered and he nodded.

"Aurora, all I know is that if I met the right girl...no! If I had met you, I wouldn't have given warfare a second chance I would have demanded your hand in marriage." He spoke seriously, as I played with his fingers.

"Like I said, I love you." I whispered and he kissed my cheek.

"As I love you."

The house was silent momentarily and once again the only sounds were or measured breathing.

"So, umm, the subject of discussion this morning." Edward smiled and I nodded. He climbed off the couch leaving me alone as he disappeared into his closet, he reappeared a moment later with a ring case and stood in front of me. He beckoned me off on the couch and I rose slowly.

"This is really old fashioned but it was my mother's..."he said opening the ring case. Set amongst the black velvet was a beautiful emerald ring.

"Aurora, will you marry me?" he asked getting down on one knee and I nodded slowly. As he came to his feet he swept me up his lips crashing down on mine.

He gently put the ring into place, it was a perfect fit.

"It's not her wedding ring because it needs cleaning up and we're not married but err, this is her eternity ring. I'm sorry it's old fashioned but because you reminded me so much of her..." he said trailing off. I put my finger to his lips.

"Edward. Shut up and just kiss me." I laughed and he gladly obeyed. As we kissed the door burst open

"Yay! Gosh, you guys are adorable." Alice sang before dancing away again. Edward sighed and gave me an apologetic look.

"I'm so sorry Aurora, shall have to get locks installed...."

"Hey, I'll get used to it because I'm sticking around." I laughed interrupting him and he smiled. He kissed me again and Alice reappeared.

"Like, come on. The others are waiting."

Edward rolled his eyes and took my hand. Together we left the room intertwined.

Like we would remain for eternity.

Meanwhile back in Volterra...

"Aro this has gone on far too long!" Caius yelled leaning against the window staring into the night skies of Volterra.

"Caius please be quiet." Aro begged from his throne, he rubbed his hands on his forehead like he had a migraine.

"Just because she was more than just a little whore to you." Caius spat and Aro became angry.

"Caius shut it I said!"

"There's nothing we can do." Marcus spoke quietly. Caius and Aro stared at the usually silent ancient.

"What do you mean?" Caius roared.

"From Demetri's reports like Aro has seen the bond between the relationship is too strong. You can't break it."

"Chelsea can..."Caius started again.

"No, they are inseparable." Marcus reasoned and Aro calculated.

"So we have lost Aurora?" Aro asked, his fist clenching and unclenching. Marcus gave a stern nod.

"NO! IF I CAN'T HAVE HER NO ONE CAN, HER POWER IS TOO PRECIOUS!" he screamed. An evil smile spread on Caius's face.

"We kill them, that's what we have to do. We have to kill them."
