Garretts POV
Watching her just lay there for days is driving me crazy. Carlisle says she is healing but I would have thought she would have been up by now. It's been almost two weeks and still nothing. Not even Marcus coming to claim her as Edward so feared. I still refuse to leave her side since this is all my fault. I still need to hunt that I do know. Just then the door opens with Carlisle and anothe person behind him dressed in clothes like Carlisles. I am shocked when the person walks into the room and I can see that it's Marcus, he really did come for her. Well this is a turn of events.
Marcus POV
I finally picked up on our bond again and followed it. Suprisinly it lead me straight to the Cullens. I am dressed in normal clothes so that I do not draw attention to myself as I walk up to the house and ring the bell. Carlisle opens the door and looks at me as if he is relieved to see me. I know for sure that she is here now.
"Marcus, please come inside." Carlisle says showing me inside and closing the door behind us. "I am sure you are here for Aida. First let me warn you when she was brought to me she was in fact dead however she is doing much better. I can take you to her if you want."
"Thank you Carlisle I would appricate that." I tell him as he leads me upstairs to another bed room.
He opens the door and I see another vampire sitting beside my mate. I walk inside the room and go straight to Aida's side and take her hand in mine. I don't understand how she could have died though? She is an immortal.
"What happened to her?" I ask both of the vampires in the room with me.
"She tried to save me after I was taken to your dungeons and whipped countless times. I didn't know she would try to help me but she did. When I re gained my focus I say her there on the ground with blood coming out of her mouth." the vampire I know as Garrett tells me.
"I nor neither of my brothers passed a sentance on you. Whoever did this without our knowing." I tell him as I turn back to Aida.
"Who else would have that kind of power?" Carlisle asks me.
"I can only think of one person, one who has even convinced Aro that Aida is a threat and no longer an ally." I tell him not looking away from Aida.
"If that's true then she isn't safe there anymore, what are you going to do Marcus?" Carlisle asks again.
"Whatever I must, even if I have to do something drastic she is my true mate." I tell him as I put my hand on Aida's cheek.
"Why couldn't you feel she was in pain? Or that she was dead?" Garrett asks me as he stands from the chair. "I thought that mates could feel whatever the other felt?"
"Usually they can, I can not explain why I could not feel her pain for if I had I would have been at her side at that very moment. May I please be alone with Carlisle and Aida?"
Garrett takes the hint and leaves the room. I can tell that he didn't want to though.
"What did you do to help her?" I ask Carlisle.
"Garrett gave her some of his blood and it did help a little but not really enough." he tells me with a sigh.
"Of course not. she need the blood from her mate." I tell him as I offer my blood from my wrist to Aida.
Within a matter of a few hours Aida's heart rate has increased and her colors has completely returned to her body.
"Will you return with her to Italy?" Carlisle asks me.
"I do not know. As you said I fear she is no longer safe there. Though I know my brother will still want me to be there." I tell him.
"What of Aida then? You can't take her back if she is in danger there can you?"
"I would rather die a thousand times than see her hurt. I have two options I can run away with her and always be on the run or I can leave her here with you and trust her in your care. Either way one of us will loose the other."
"Marcus, You couldn't possibly live through another time of suffering. Aida is smart and I am sure she would want to stay with you."
"I know she would as I would and still do want to stay with her for all of eturnity. You know as well as I do Carlisle if Aro thinks she is a threat then he will kill her."
"Aro also knows though if he kills her then that will end you as well."
"That may be true but he will think he can stop all of this by killing Aida and ending our bond."
"Whatever you decide Marcus I will support you. Even take her in if that is what you wish."
Carlisle leaves the room allowing me to be with Aida alone. How could this have happened? I love her with all of my being and now I feel if I don't leave her alone that I will be the reason that she is killed. I couldn't bare that. I put my hand on her cheek as her eyes start to flutter open and she looks at me and smiles.
"Marcus. You found me." Aida says as she smiles again.
"Only in your dreams dear one. That is where I shall always be." I tell her but then she looks at me confused.
"What do you mean? You are my mate, my love are you saying you no longer want me?" she asks and I can see the tears in her eyes.
"Believe me my love, I am doing this to keep you safe. If you were to return with me I fear Aro would have you killed."
"So you decide things without as much as asking me? What right do you have to decide my fate?" she asks me with a hurtful tone.
"Aida. I love you and I could not bare to see you lifeless before me. Especailly knowing I could stop it." I tell her as I put my hands on her shoulders.
"So you will abandone me? That is your soulution? Come tell me you love me but you have to protect me by staying away from me? I thought you of all of them would understand but it appears even I have underestimated you. You may be ancient but not wise." she says as she stands from the bed and looks out the window.
"What would you have me do Aida? Be on the run with you for the rest of our lives? Could you bare something like that?" I ask her as I stand from the bed.
"No matter what I say Marcus I know you have made your decision so go on and leave me be. Return to your beloved brothers but know this." she tells me as she turns around. "I am only one of four elements though I may not want to kill you at this point I can not say the same of my sisters or brother."
"You said you were the only one."
"I am the only earth element. Did you forget about Fire, Air and Water? You think you had problems with me imagine the three of them together. Air could pull the very air from the room. Fire could set you in eturnal flames and Water could wash you away as if you were nothing. Now tell me Marcus who do you fear? The elements or your brothers?" she threatens me almost.
"What are you saying Aida?" I ask her as I go to touch her but she pulls away.
"Either way Marcus your brothers will die. Even if you aren't there with them. As I told you before nothing lasts forever. Apparently not even us." she says as she starts to walk out.
"Do you love me Aida? Could you look me in the eyes and tell me that.?" I ask her.
She stops and looks over her shoulder. "I did once, though it appears even though my heart still calls to yours your brothers are far too powerful even for the love you have been looking for. I'm sorry Marcus I wish I could help you but you have already deemed that I am not able to."
"I am trying to protect you Aida!"
"I am almost as old as you Marcus! I do not need your protection!" she yells back at me as she walks up back to my face. "Love was all I ever wanted or needed from you. Though I suppose it's true what they say vampires ar not capable of such a thing."
"That's enough! You know that I love you! I would die for you!" I say as I take her arms in my hands. "Aida this is for us. I could not live knowing you were dead because of me."
"Everyone dies Marcus. Why deny someone the possibilty of seeing their past loved ones again? Why do you not let me make my own decisions? Why do you treat me like a child?" she asks me looking into my eyes.
I grab Aida and thrust my lips upon hers. I know she will hate me in the end but I want to keep her safe. I want her to know how much I love her. I grab her and pull her body close to mine. Even if it's just for tonight I claim her as my own and make love to her. Knowing tomorrow I would have to leave her.
Aida's POV
Last night keeps flashing through my mind. Only to awaken to an empty bed. Like I didn't see this coming. If he only knew the war he just started. I get up and quickly get dressed and rush downstairs to be met with Garrett looking me in the eyes. Really I don't know what to say to him.
"You really gonna chase after him?" Garrett asks me. "If he really loved you he would have found a way to stay."
"I am not going to disagree with you on that Garrett. All I know is I better get back to Italy before three of my other siblings show up un announced." I tell him grabbing my coat.
"What in the world are you talking about?" Garrett asks me yet again.
"The other three elements. We can tell when one of us have been truly injured even by heart break and we don't take it too kindly." I tell him as he follows me out of the house.
"What will they do?"
"Depends which one gets their first. I need to get there and try to stop them." I tell him as I get into a car not knowing whose it is and Garrett gets in beside me.
"Hey I just wanna see one of their heads roll." he tells me with a smile as I roll my eyes.
Marcus POV
I can't believe what I just did. I laid with her and then I just left her. How could I have done that and to my own mate? I knew what I had to do, Aro would have thought she was a threat now thanks to his crazy wife. I walk inside the castle and into the throne room to see Aro and Caius in their thrones waiting for me to join them.
"Welcome back brother." Aro says with his horrid smile.
I ginore him and go to me throne and sit down.
"Not to worry brother, I doubt she will remain in your memory forever." Aro says again.
"You have no idea how right you are." we all hear another female voice say to us.
We look at the door and see two women and a man standing with them. I have never seen them before in my life and am confused as to who they are and why they are here.
"I must say one of your kind should be honored to be mated with one of our own." the second woman says walking forward.
"Just who do you think you are?" Caius asks them.
"Oh us? Let's just say we are you demise." the man say as he holds up his hand and fire appears in it. The other three elements.
"You see the funny thing about Elements we can sense everything about or fellow brother and sisters. When you so called brother over there decided to bed our sister and leave her well..." the first woman starts.
"That didn't go over well with us." the man say as he plays with the fire in his hand.
"Nothing to say on your defense Marcus?" the second woman says. "If not then we can just kill you and get it over with, this way our sister will never have to see any of your ugly faces again."
I'll never see Aida again. She tried to warn me. This is what she was trying to prevent.
The first woman uses what appears to be the element of air and brings it around my throat using an invisable force to pin me against a wall.
"This will be so much fun. We haven't done this in such a long time." she tells me as she walks forward. Alena take the one with the weird laugh and Fred take the blonde one."
"I was trying to protect her." I tell her but her power still presses against my throat.
"From what? She could have ended any of you at any minute. You think she was the victim? Oh no little vampire, she was the threat." she says with a laugh. "And you fell in love with her, how pathetic."
Yes I did use the whole Vampire Blood can cure idea from True blood so sorry about that. However for those of you who think the vampires should be more powerful then the elements well I am sorry but in this story the elements are super powerful.
