The Sun shone thru the window and hit Katerina's face. She slowly opened her eyes she looked beside her but Marcus wasn't there. She sat up quickly and looked around. There was wooden carvings on the bedpost just like in her dream. She got out of bed. Do you need something Kat Marcus asked from his desk on the other side of the room. She looked over and saw him he was writing something on parchment. She smiled then remembered her dream. Can I ask you something she asked sure what is it he asked do you believe that dreams can show you memories of life that you have forgotten? She asked well I have heard of people recollecting memories from dreams so yes I do. Why do you ask. He replied I think all the dreams and nightmares I have are memories from when I was a child because the same people are always in them and the kidnapping of when I was a baby always happens In the end. I have the same every the same dream but when I comes to the nightmare it's the replied well what happens in the dreams who is in them? He asked well before I came here no-one had names they had faces sometimes but most the time they were blurry. Now they are all clear. I thought I had recognized caius from somewhere and it was my dreams. She looked at him he was looking at her with a strange is it. She asked. It's nothing it's just I find it interesting that you would dream of caius. He replied at first it was just him. Last night you and Aro were in it also some of the guards and I could see your faces clearly. She replied. It might be possible since you have been spending so much time with us your subconscious has placed us into your dreams. He replied maybe she looked out the window she watched as three guards walked in the garden with black robes like they always did. Her thoughts switched to the book about vampires. She looked back over to Marcus she opened the curtain a little farther till the light shone on his hand. She gasped he looked up then looked at where she was looking he quickly covered his hand. It's true the book was right. She said as he walked over to her he closed the curtain fully. Her heart was racing quickly. Kat please calm down I'm not going to hurt you. No one is going to. he said softly she looked up at him her heart slowed down to normal. I know I read about all of you in the red book you wrote. Keep this to yourself okay if Aro finds out that you know you won't be able to leave that's our law. She wrapped her arms around herself and started to play with her necklace chain. Marcus took his cloak off and wrapped it around her. Why do you always play with your necklace when your nervous. He asked as he noticed her playing with it. Oh it was left with me when I was baby. She in hooked it and placed it in his hand. He looked at it. If he could cry he would be. sitting in his hand was the very locket he had given to her when she was a baby. He opened it caius and his picture was still inside. A little faded but he could still see them. It's very beautiful Kat someone must of really loved you to give you an antique like that. He handed it back to her. She put it back on. Come I want you to meet someone he took her hand and led her to a winding stairwell. He started to go up with her following behind they came to the end. Marcus knocked on the door. Come in came a woman's voice from the other side. He opened the door and walked in Kat followed. She looked around she could tell it was a woman's room. Scuplicia I would like you to meet someone he said he moved to the side so she could see Katerina. Oh hello she said Katerina's heart jumped looking back at her was the woman from her dreams that had called her daughter. She couldn't believe it she started to breathe hard then she passed out from shock.
Marcus caught her before she hit the floor. Oh by the gods is she okay. Scuplicia asked yes she fine. She still breathing he replied as he picked her up here lay her on my bed scuplicia said making room for her. Scuplicia can you keep a secret. Marcus asked as he caressed Kat's face of coarse but why she asked as she looked at him oh wait is she is she scuplicia couldn't finish her sentence yes she is he lightly took her locket out from underneath her shirt and showed it to her oh Marcus we found her after all these years scuplicia moved closer my little angel she softly said she is beautiful just like I thought she would turn out to be. Aro and caius don't know. She asked no not yet I just confirmed it this morning she doesn't know either. But I think she will now that she saw you. Marcus I'm so happy for you and caius when do you plan in telling them she asked now I need you to watch her and send a guard to let us know she is awake so we all can speak together. He said. Okay I will be here and let you know. Marcus left to go find Aro and caius.
Scuplicia watched as Katerina slept my sweet angel I have missed you so much. I should have known what Athena was planning. I'm so sorry she took you away from us. I missed so much. I'm so sorry she cried Katerina's eyes fluttered open she heard scuplicia speaking to her and calling her by her full name and calling her angel. And apologizing for what happened. It's okay mother you didn't know. No one did. Katerina said oh my angel she hugged her um mom I can't breathe Katerina said oh I'm sorry I'm just so happy to have you back. Scuplicia replied. Katerina started to cry I thought they had killed you. I felt so helpless. As the men took me away. She said between sobs. Shhh. My sweet angel it wasn't your fault all that matters is that we found you and I'm not letting you out of my site ever again. Sculpucia said as she held her close. Come I have something to show you. Scuplicia stood up and walked across the room she took out a book and opened it it had a thousand photos of her from when she was a baby. She flipped through the pages there were lots of photos with her and caius or Marcus. There were ones with the guards that were hilarious. Demetri had a nose plug on while he was apparently trying to change her diaper. While Jane was standing beside him laughing at him. She came to a picture of her sitting on Aro's lap with a rattle in her hand scuplicia was sitting next to him and they were both smiling. You were such a happy baby. Scuplicia said I look happy. Katerina replied. She flipped the page caius was holding her in the background she saw the woman that he had kissed. Mother who is she. Katerina asked as she pointed to Athendora. Oh that is Athendora. She is the reason we lost you. She was killed that day. Good thing because I don't think caius would have let her death be quick and easy. He was devastated when he found out she had betrayed us. Marcus also we almost lost him again to solitude. She replied. A knock sounded at the door come in scuplicia called the door opened.
