Aro POV
It took everything I had not to kill her to be able to stop. Her blood was sweet and rich and better than I could've ever imagined. Finally I stopped and backed away from her it took everything to stop me from rushing back and finishing her off. After a few hours I walked back over and picked her up. I contemplated bringing her to Volterra now. It wouldn't take long and Didyme and Athendora could watch over her.
With a sigh I took off through the trees
Felix met me inside the castle. His face full of concern and confusion. "Master what have you done?" He asked.
"Get Didyme tell her to meet me in my room" I instructed. I layed Sulpicia on one of the couches in my room in time to see my sister walk in.
"Aro brother you've returned" she said marvel hinting in her voice.
"Yes take care of her. I must go talk with Caius and Marcus apparently someone broke the law?" I questioned.
"Oh yes brother the worst a whole group of humans know only time will tell how long we have before the rumors spread." Didyme cried.
"Wonderful I shall have Dimitri track them down along with the vampire responsible we will feast tonight" I informed her before disappearing into the hall.
Sulpicia POV
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was sunlight. It shone like a ray of pure gold. I sat up incredibly quickly throwing me off.
I looked around and marveled at how fast and fluent my movements were.
The room I was in was large. It could've been a library due to the amount of books that covered the walls and tables.
"Well look who's awake" a high clear voice chimed. A women stood by the door. Her hair was jet black and cascaded in thick waves down her back.
"Who are you?" I asked a happiness fluttering through me.
"I'm Didyme" she replied. Her expression was cheerful and her eyes were the same red as Aro's.
speaking of Aro he walked in seconds later.
"Ahh Sulpicia you are awake and as beautiful as ever." He said walking over I stood up and crossed the room towards him.
He took my hand and pulled me closer he was no longer cold or hard like marble but warm like anyone else. "Where am I?" I asked suddenly aware that I had no idea.
"Welcome to Italy, Volterra to be precise."
I looked out one of the vast windows onto the scenery of brown stone houses and fields below.
My throat burned with an unknown feeling that made it hard to talk I pressed a hand to my throat and looked around.
Aro came and stood beside me taking my hand again. "You must be thirsty, come Heidi will be back any minute now with dinner" he said. I followed him down hallway after hallway until be came into a large throne hall.
"Ah Aro she's woken up" A man with long dark brown hair mused from a large chair.
"She's a waste if you ask me" Another man with blonde hair seated in another throne like chair snapped his eyes cold.
"Marcus Caius my brothers Sulpicia holds no threat" Aro sighed leading me farther into the room.
"You say that now until you get bored with her and set her free" the man I assumed was Caius snapped again.
"I assure you she is my responsibility" Aro reassured again.
I relaxed and followed him up the steps to where he sat in the remaining chair pulling me down with him.
"I must say red does suit her" Marcus mused.
"Red?" I questioned looking down at my white dress.
"Your eyes dear" Marcus said.
My hands flew to my eyes. Why were they red.
I turned to Aro "what did you do?" I asked him.
He opened his mouth to reply but at that moment the doors opened and the sweetest smells I'd ever encountered entered the room.
I was a group of people which surprised me lead by a beautiful woman in a long red dress. Her eyes were just as red as Aro, Caius and Marcus'.
The people looked around the exquisite room in wonder their long robes and dresses blended into a blur of rich colors. The woman I assumed was Heidi as she walked up the steps and stood beside Aro "did I do well master?" She asked.
Aro smiled and gestured to the group that were facing us with interest.
"You did great my dear" Aro mused softly.
"Let us eat" Marcus said softly.
"Eat?" I questioned looking at the group of people and not understanding.
"Of course my dear" Aro told me. Didyme walked through the door with a smile that said danger as much as it said beauty.
She eyed the people with a hungry expression that I seemed to mirror which scared me.
Caius and Marcus stood on either side of me and took a quick step forwards. A woman with red hair in a blue dress ran to the door and fought to get out Didyme flew to the woman's side and gripped her forearms. I watched her pull the woman's face towards her and sink her teeth into the woman's neck.
The people around them shrieked and cried.
I backed up as the burning in my throat flared in response. Caius and Marcus joined the cacophony and finished off a group of people in mere seconds.
I stood there conflicted not sure what to do. Aro touched my hand softly and I heard him sigh "Never have I seen a newborn as confused and controlled as you" he said like he knew what I was thinking.
"What have you done to me?" I asked again my voice dry.
"Go eat I'll explain later" Aro assured me.
Suddenly I couldn't resist the burning any longer I spotted my target an older women maybe 30 she wasn't as young as the others an had lived a longer life. I prepared to attack and with a final breath I leaped at her sinking my teeth into her neck.
