Chapter 7: Don't leave

Caius POV:

It hurt. It hurt so much. SO FUCKING MUCH. Then, it stopped. I practically collapsed in relief. Bella was standing over my slumped form, horror on her face, shaking fingers covering her trembling mouth. "Oh god, Oh god . . ." She kept moaning. I wanted to reach out to her, comfort her, reassure her that I was fine. The problem was, I wasn't fine. My head hurt. Actually, It would take less time to say what didn't hurt. I groaned and she practically screamed into her hands. I caught a glimpse of Felix over her shoulder. He didn't look so good either. "Help" was the only thing I could rasp out. She had to get help! She couldn't handle this on her own. She screamed loud and clear. It was most obviously in pain, and fear. Her sobs took over as her scream died down. I heard footsteps approach and sighed in relief. My Isabella would be ok. With that last, happy thought, I let the haze take me.

Bella POV:

He wouldn't wake up. Oh god. Wat do I do!? Oh god Oh god. I didn't realise I was moaning that aloud until then. He was awake, just. I hadn't killed him. Thank god . . . He didn't look very good. What have I done. I muffled a scream in my hands. Caius was looking at me with pleading eyes. Pleading me to understand. "Help" His voice was faint and raspy, I could only just make it out. That was when I really let go. I screamed in pain and fear. I let it all out. I was sure that they would hear me, but I really didn't care right then. I collapsed into sobs as the light in his eyes died away again slowly. Strangely, he looked happy. As I felt arms around me I fought. I screamed his name and bit and tore at the arms that restrained me. I didn't want him to be taken away.

If he was dead I wanted to join him. And they had damn better not say no.

Some days later . . .

He was okay. HE WAS OKAY! I felt like crying and screaming! But I had done way too much of both lately so I settled for squealing and clapping. And jumping up and down. "when can I see him!?" Aro smiled gently as Heidi and Jane tried to calm me down. "He's been asking for you. You can go see him now." I squealed again.

I rushed out the door and down the corridor. As I ran, I thought about what had happened. I hadn't been able to do anything with my so called power since then, even with extensive training. Aro wanted me to be changed so he could have a new toy. Men never change. Their toys just get bigger and more expensive.

Caius was waiting.

Waiting for me.

And I was waiting for him.

I rounded the corner and saw the door. I ran full pelt at it bursting into the room with my hair all crazy and my outfit a mess after my run. I didn't care though. There he was waiting for me. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. His face relaxed when he saw me, as did mine. I felt complete. I closed my eyes and reveled in the feeling. A soft smile found its way onto my face. I hadn't smiled in what felt like an age.

"Caius"

"Hey baby" His voice was rough and his smile sore and sad. I felt so bad. "I'm sor-" "Isabella! Don't you dare! You have nothing to apologise for. Do you understand?" His hand were on my arms, rough and firm, but loving. "I get it. But I am sorry. Okay? I can't change that, and the only way for me to feel a bit better about it is for me to say that. I have to say sorry, or I feel like a despicable person. Its just who I am. So, Caius, I am extremely sorry. you had better be as ok as they tell me. Or I will be more sorry. I am sorry. Really sorry." He smiled gently, like he did when it was just us. He nodded slightly and I breathed out a sigh of relief. "I get it. I accept your apology, and you are completely forgiven." He drew me closer by my arms and I relished the feeling of his breath on my skin.

"You are forgiven. And I love you more than ever."

His whisper was hot in ear, sending a blush across my face. "and there's that blush." He sighed. "So hot" His whispers sent electricity vibrating through my skin. I was addicted. To him. Every single part of him. Every single little bit. Every. Single. Part. He knew how he made me feel. He knew it, he used it. But, I knew how he felt about me, and I used that . . . so I suppose we were about even. I smiled and slid onto the bed next to him, curling into a little ball at his side. I sighed contentedly. I was his. He was mine. I liked things just the way they are.

"Don't leave. Stay here with me." His voice was pleading as he put a protective/restraining arm around my face. "I wouldn't dream of it. I will stay here until you make me go away, And I am quite stubborn you know . . ." that bought my smirk to his lips. "I know. Trust me, I know." I smirked straight back at him. He pulled me closer to him. "You know, I quite liked the bloodthirsty you. I was quite a turn on, to be honest. But I would prefer that you directed that bloodlust on someone else next time . . . say, a Cullen?" I giggled. He really was messed up. But I was too so . . . all good.

I really loved him. God. I loved him. That was so scary. I had only ever thought those words about . . . Him. Then he did THAT to me. I . . . . I'm not sure if I want to put myself out there again. But Caius . . . I can't say no. The last time I said those words was screaming them out to Edward as he ran away. Away from me. It will be like I never existed. I am happy I met him. I do not regret anything. He meant that I met Caius. I could never hate someone who gave me him. I smiled, feeling a shiver go down my spine as his fingers traced long, calming strokes down my tense back. I hadn't realised how much I missed him until I had him back.

People are wrong. They say that you don't know what you have until it's taken away. That is true, but you don't how much had been taken away until you have it back . . .
