Chapter 2

A few days went by and I tried to keep my distance from Aro, Marcus and Caius. I mostly succeeded besides in the halls and stuff like that. Mostly I preferred to be around Marcus he seemed kinder then the other two. I decided to walk around today and I look out to the courtyard and see a young female vampire talking with Marcus and for some reason that doesn't sit well for me. I feel a twinge of jealously start to form. I felt odd at that moment. He's a vampire I shouldn't feel anything like this. I look back at them and see that she won't stop flirting. Either Marcus doesn't care or he is really oblivious.

Just as she starts to move closer to him I use my powers to summon a vine that pulls her face first to the ground and it works. She goes down like a tree right in front of Marcus. I contain my laugh as he looks up at me and I see a small smile. The female looks up at me with angry eyes.

"You! How dare you hurt me!" she yells and then runs up to where I am. "You want to fight then let's fight!"

"I am going to have to decline your request." I tell her as I start to walk away but she grabs my arm.

I make a fist and come back punching her as hard as I can which knocks her about ten feet away from me. Wow, forgot I could do that.

"You stupid little human!" she yells and comes at me again.

I try to make myself ready when someone comes in front of me and stops her. I look up and see Marcus standing before me.

"You will leave her alone." Marcus tells the female vampire. "Understand me?"

"Yes master Marcus." The female says then leaves,

Huh? Clearly I could have handled myself. Then again I'm sure you no one wants anything to happen to the new weapon. I just sigh as I turn to walk away.

"You know I've lived a long time. I have taken on worse than that little vampire." I tell Marcus as he turns to me.

"I am sure you have. Though I am sure you would prefer to keep yourself uninjured." He tells me.

I turn back around and look at Marcus. Sometimes I swear he just confuses me.

"Uninjured? Please she couldn't truly kill me. Look around you earth element everywhere she is the one that would have been truly hurt." I say as I slowly start to feel that pulling feeling again.

"Perhaps. I am sure Aro would prefer you uninjured then. He would hate to see you injured." Marcus tells me showing almost no emotion.

"Yeah wouldn't want to scratch the shiny new toy." I say in a huff of anger and just walk away from him.

I keep forgetting that is all I am to them. A toy, a weapon whatever. If I do run they'll find me and I'll just end up back here probably stuck in some dungeon or something. I swear no matter what feelings I have I just need to keep calm. An angry earth element is not good.

"Aida!" I hear Mia call out for me.

I turn and look back at her.

"So you're still here?" I ask her.

"Master Aro and Master Caius want to speak with you." Mia tells me.

That's odd usually they send the little kid to come get me but fine I'll go. I nod and follow Mia. Once we reach the room I know is Aro's study she opens the door and I see Aro and Caius staring me down. Oh great what have I done this time?

"Aida so good of you to join us." Aro tells me as I walk into the room.

"Not like I had much of a choice." I say under my breath.

"We heard you were almost attacked by a vampire today?" Caius asks me.

Ok what does he care if I was attacked? Caius has been nothing but a pain since I got here.

"Nothing I couldn't handle. Two thousand years remember. I've seen worse then her." I say as I look from Caius to Aro.

"What made the vampire want to attack you?" Aro asks me.

Oh so that's what this is about? Of course now it will make me look bad.

"I tripped her using my powers and sent her flying to the ground face first in front of Marcus." I answer Aro's question.

"Why did you do that?" Caius asks.

Uh good question. Why did I do that? Oh right the jealousy feeling. There is no way I am going to tell them that though so come on think of something and make it fast!

"I honestly don't know. Sometimes my emotions have more control of my powers." I tell them.

Yeah well to be honest that isn't a lie. It's true when my emotions are crazy then my powers tend to follow them.

"When she attacked you did you defend yourself?" Aro questions me.

"I did, I punched her. Then she came at me again but Marcus stopped her." I admit to them.

"Marcus stopped them?" Caius questions.

"Yes, he told the female to leave me alone. She agreed and left. Why does this matter?" I ask them.

"Well I see your powers are strong. Even inside." Aro says with a small laugh.

"This place is made of my element. I could have easily killed that vampire at any time."

"Then why didn't you?" I hear Marcus ask as he enters.

I watch as he walks up to stand beside Aro and Caius.

"What good would that do? If I killed her you would lose a precious member of this coven would you not?" I ask.

"Each person serves a purpose." Aro states.

"So I've seen."

Aro then turns to Marcus and Caius and starts to talk about something. They talk for a few minutes then Aro and Caius just turn and leave. There I am alone with Marcus…yet again.

"Tell me the true reason you tripped the girl?" Marcus asks me.

"I wanted to see her fall." I lie to him.

Marcus can obviously tell that I am lying by the face her gives me.

"What does it matter?" I ask him.

"It does now Aida answer the question." Marcus tells me.

"Fine, you were to oblivious to see how friendly she was getting with you so all I did was send a harmless little reminder." I tell him as I cross my arms over my chest.

"You must have felt something to have used your powers."

"What are you getting at Marcus?" I ask him somewhat annoyed.

"Perhaps there is something you aren't telling?"

"I am sure you have your secrets Marcus just like I have mine. Just because I am here doesn't mean you need to know my life story." I tell him as I look away from him.

"You feel something don't you?" he asks me.

"Well probably unlike your kind. My version of immortal still feel everything mortals do. I guess that is sort of the downside in all of this mess which is my life. No offense about the whole your kind thing." I tell him.

"Immortal like yourself are a rare kind." He tells me.

"What do you want from me Marcus? Aro wants me as a weapon, Caius wants nothing to do with me and trust me that feeling is mutual. You though you I don't see what you want from me?" I ask as I circle him.

"What makes you think I want anything from you?" Marcus says following me with his eyes.

"Call it a feeling. There is something about me that interests you doesn't it? You wonder how I am still alive yet I don't have to feed of the blood of others like you do?" I tell him as I stop in front of him. "You want something I have that you cannot."

"Your life as an immortal being is quite different than my own. Though I am sure we have both seen things we wish we had not." He says walking forward to me.

"I have seen many things and have learned from them. Though that does not take the pain away does it?" I tell him as I walk closer to him.

Marcus gives me an odd look then looks down at my hands then at his own. I really don't know what made him do that all of the sudden.

"No the pain does not go away." Marcus says as he tries to turn away.

"However that does not mean you must always burden yourself with the pain. Or is that something all Greeks do?"

Apparently the fact I know he is Greek catches him off guard and he turns back to me with a confused look on his face. I smile just a little knowing I have caught his interest.

"What makes you think that I am Greek?" he asks me.

"Certain things. Not to mention I am from Egypt. You think I would not have heard of you or Aro at least?" I ask him.

"You're an Egyptian?"

"I am, the main reason I knew I had died is because when I woke up they were about to mummify me. Needless to say I ran out of there as fast as I can." I tell him.

Marcus walks back to me again and sees to look at me in a new light. For some reason the minute he found out I was Egyptian he seemed to like me a bit more. I mean I had heard about the immortals know as Marcus and Aro. I did not know they were vampires nor did I know about Caius but here I am and they are vampires.

"You must have been terrified." He says surprising me.

"Yeah I was but I still got out of there. Now here I am with you and a bunch of other vampires." I tell him with a shrug.

"You should tell me what you remember of Egypt when you feel comfortable around me."

"You are the only one I do not fear Marcus. You just seem different than the other two but in a good way. I promise." I tell him.

The doors open and Aro comes walking in with a female vampire and Caius also with a female vampire.

"Oh so this is her?" the woman with Aro asks.

Really? What is with the vampires here they seem to ask some pretty obvious questions.

"Well, then make it do something." The second woman says.

"Make it do something?" I ask with a sarcastic laugh.

"Show them what you can do." Caius tries to command me.

"What would you like to see? Me make the bones under your skin turn to dust?" I ask the women.

"She couldn't do that!" the second one yells.

"Bones at part of the element of earth, so yes she could." Aro says with a creepy laugh.

"You won't though. She can't be that stupid." The first woman says.

"Stupid?!" I ask offended.

I turn to walk away when Marcus stops me.

"All that will do is make them angry. Just show them something small to amuse them." Marcus asks me as he looks down at me.

"Why must I impress them?" I ask him.

"Those are Caius and Aro's wives." Marcus tells me.

Oh right, great now I have to do something. Maybe I could make the roof fall down on them? No that would be too much to clean up afterwards. Aha I think I have an idea. I turn back around with Marcus still behind me.

"I think she has come to her senses." The first woman says.

I look over to the door and see that it is made of wood. Hmm that would work. I concentrate on the door and with a matter of moment I use my powers to send it flying across the room.

"Impressive but shouldn't she be able to do more?" the second one asks.

"Do something small huh?" I ask Marcus.

I use my powers again bring up a wall of dirt in front of myself. Then I turn back to Marcus.

"Will that do?" I ask him.

"That will do." He says with a small smile.

"Good, now can we go somewhere else since you want to know about Egypt though I am sure you have already been to Egypt." I tell him.

"My study is this way." Marcus says as we start to exit the room. "Aida, the wall take down the dirt wall."

"Oh right, sorry." I tell him.

I turn back around and with one fling of my hand the dirt flies out the doorway. I then follow Marcus out of the room and into his study. His study is full of so many books. That doesn't really surprised me he does seem like the type that likes to read. Marcus then turns to me.

"What do you remember?" he asks me.

"I only remember after my death nothing before. I know when I woke up though I had this scar." I tell him as I lift up my shirt and show him the scar on my side.

"That must have been your mortal wound. Once your earth powers came into play it must have heeled it." He tries to explain to me.

"I guess, like I said I don't remember anything before waking up about to become a mummy." I say as I look back up at him.

Now I just wonder why I just told him something really personal I have no idea. Do I really trust this guy? I mean why does he want to know about my old life? Maybe this is what Aro told him to do?

"You lost someone too didn't you? That's why you are the way you are?" I ask him.

"Whatever gave you that idea?" he asks me.

"Well since Aro and Caius already have wives and you really don't seem like the playboy type call is a wild guess." I tell him.

"Perhaps you will know in the future…not now though." He says.

"You don't have to tell me. I'm sure you have your reasons."

I watch him carefully I think he can feel something that I can as well. No way that I am admitting to it first though. Marcus keeps staring at me though and around me, I think like he is trying to read my body language.

"Are you alright Marcus? You are looking at me a little strange." I ask him.

"I can see things you have not. It seems though there is something starting to form. Perhaps it will become strong in the end." He says looking down at me.

To be honest I am not sure when I will update again. Currently having some health issues. Will update when I have time. Hope you enjoy the chapter.
