I slept long into the morning. When I finally did wake up, my head was on Marcus' lap.
"Good afternoon, mi amore."
'Afternoon? I slept that long?'
"You were tired. We let you sleep." Aro said.
"Wait a minute. Did you just answer my thoughts?"
"You didn't say it out loud?"
I shook my head, no. Dad came in.
"You're finally awake."
"Last night was the best night's sleep I have had in years."
Aro, Marcus, Caius, and I walked through town. I sensed Klaus and pulled them behind a building.
"Trixie?" Marcus asked.
"He's close."
"You're right. I am right here."
Aro put me behind him and Marcus and Caius stood in front of me.
"If you want her, you will have to go through us."
"I thought the Volturi was supposed to be smart. Hand her over and I will let you live."
"I don't think so."
Aro was thinking about attacking him.
"No Aro. He's too strong." I whispered.
"Yes. Why don't you run and hide?"
I turned into a Clouded leopard. Marcus did too.
'Come on, Trixie. Don't let him get to you. That is what he wants.'
I huffed and turned around. Klaus turned into a wolf and dove for me. I turned and dove for him.
"Trixie! No!" Caius yelled.
Klaus threw me into a brick wall and left. Dad came around the corner.
"Trixie! How could you be so stupid?"
Caius hissed.
"Shut your mouth. You have no right."
"I am her father."
"You sent her away which put her in even more danger."
"What are you talking about? I sent her away for her safety."
"Safety? Is that what you call getting kidnapped by the Romanian coven, losing your memory, having a prophecy made about you, and not having a decent night's sleep in years? If so, you need to know the meaning of safety."
Caius was losing his temper. I woke up and limped over to him.
'Calm down, Caius.'
I then realized that Uncle Sev was actually Papa Sev. I turned back.
"Come on, Caius. He's not my father. Severus is. My memories are playing tricks on me. Damon is my uncle."
"He still has no right to talk to you like that. He doesn't know what you've been through."
"Come on, Caius. Wait a minute. Damon did you put vervain in your blood this morning?"
"No. I didn't have anymore."
"That's what I thought. Klaus compelled you to say all that."
We went back to the house. Carlisle was sitting on the couch.
"Carlie!"
"Trixie!"
"They're acting as though they haven't seen each other in years." Damon said.
"Remember, all these years they believed they were father and daughter. Now they know they are brother and sister." Marcus said.
I was wrapped up in Carlisle's arms. I was crying.
"It's going to be all right, Trixie. I'm here. I will never leave you again."
Emmett and the others showed up.
"What's going on?"
"Carlisle is soothing his sister. She is very frightened." Aro said.
"His sister?"
I turned around and everybody gasped.
