I walked to the rose garden. I saw the lilacs and walked over.
"The lilacs have grown faster this year."
I turned around and saw Marcus. He walked over and picked a lilac. He then placed it in my hair. I smiled.
"Lilacs were my mother's favorite flower."
I walked over to the window and looked up at the sky. He walked over to me.
"Your mother is still with you in your heart."
I leaned against Marcus. Aro and Caius came in and smiled. I saw them and ran into their arms. Dad smiled. I turned into a Snow Leopard.
"That is her favorite form."
"I can see why."
I saw a butterfly and started to chase after it. They chuckled. Dad turned into a Snow Leopard.
'Don't tell me you can't catch a little butterfly.'
I pounced and finally got the butterfly.
'I got you.'
Dad chuckled. I turned back. The lilac was still in my hair. Jane came in.
"Master, Heidi just got a message on her computer from the Romanian coven."
They ran to the computer.
'Carlisle, I know you are with the Volturi. Say good-bye to your daughter now. We will torture and kill her like we did her mother.' It said.
Aro looked at Caius and Marcus. He then looked at dad.
"What exactly happened?"
"The Romanian coven came to the house once before. They wanted Trixie's powers. But she wouldn't let them have them. So they tortured and killed her in front of Trixie."
"You aren't serious. Is that why she blames herself?" Marcus asked.
"Yes. She feels she could have done something."
"She shouldn't have to live with the guilt."
Aro erased the message. I was trying to catch another butterfly. But then dad sensed them. He turned into a Snow Leopard and nudged me out the door. He then turned back.
"Hello Carlisle."
"Stay away from her, Marishka."
"Your father staked Master Dracula. He wants revenge."
Aro, Marcus, and Caius stood in front of me.
"You will not have her."
"You can't stop Master Dracula from getting his prey."
"Really? Just watch us." Caius growled.
She flew toward them. But I jumped at her.
"Trixie! No!" Dad yelled.
Marishka threw me off and into the wall.
"Trixie!" Aro cried.
They all ran over to me. Dad turned back into a Snow Leopard.
'Trixie! Answer me. I can't lose you.'
Jane and Demetri came around the corner.
"What happened?"
"She saved us from another vampire." Marcus said.
'Papa?'
I lifted my head. The brothers smiled.
"She's alive!"
I turned back. So did dad.
"Trixie, are you all right?"
"I-I think so."
He helped me up. Aro, Marcus, and Caius hugged me.
"Don't ever do that again."
I smiled.
"Who was she?" Caius asked.
"Dracula's main bride."
"Your father staked Dracula?"
"Yes. About 350 years ago."
Aro looked over to me and smiled.
"Carlisle, do you mind if we take Trixie into town?"
"Not at all. Go right ahead."
Dad smiled.
