The queen's were able to see how upset I was, and so had left me to my own devices. Meaning I spent the rest of the day in my room, watching tv. The only time I left was to eat dinner, other then that, I stayed in there until it was time for me to sleep. The next morning though, I could tell someone had visited me during the night. Mostly because of the fact that the pants I had left on the floor last night, were now neatly folded and put on the back of my chair. Someone must've came in here and cleaned, which I don't mind just as long as my personal belongings don't go missing.

Again, I was led to the kitchen area to eat my breakfast by Jane. This time though, I wasn't alone when I came down to have my breakfast though. Another woman was there, the "secretary" I had seen when I first came here. Across from her was a small plate of pancakes, which of course was for me I could guess.

She looked up at me beaming a smile."Oh, hello there."

"U-um hi." I gave her a small wave.

"Please, come sit, I made us some breakfast." She gestured.

"Uh, sure." I sat down.

"Hope you've had a great morning."

"I did." I picked up my fork and began to eat."This pancake is delicious."

"Oh thank you, it was a recipe from my grandmother."

"Your grandmother, must've been a really great cook, if that's her recipe." I said.

"She was had her own business, and everything. I was actually planning on following in her footsteps."

"What happened?" I asked her.

"Well I was done with earning my masters degree in business, and was on my way to opening up my own shop. Unfortunately, I needed a little bit of money, a lot more then I had at the time." She started to hesitate, but continued." So I got a job here."

Her lips pursed into a tight line, she looked away, thinking I hadn't already see the tears. She had sealed her fate by coming here, any dreams she had, we're now thrown out the window. There was only two things left for her now, death or being a vampire. There was no other choice.

"Excuse me." She got up and left, but stopped at the door." Just leave your plate on the table, I'll be back to clean them up." Then she left.

I sighed, looks like it was just me, myself, and I again. I felt bad for Gianna, she seemed like she had her whole life planned out, all she needed was some extra cash and she would finally have achieved her dream. I truly hope that the queen's see some type of potential in her and will decide to keep her.

I decided to just clean my plate after I was done, ignoring her instructions. It was when I walked out of the kitchen, that I noticed that Jane had left. For a moment I thought I was all by myself, at least until I had a small jump scare from DIdyme.

"I hope your breakfast was alright?" She appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh!" I gasped, my hand resting on my heart.

She chuckled." I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's quite alright." I tried to bring my heartbeat back to normal.

"I must say, it was quite worth it." She stroked my cheek softly."You look beautiful when you blush, not that you don't when you're not blushing."

"U-um thank you." I blushed even more.

"No need me to thank me, you should know how immensely beautiful you are."

If she keeps complimenting me I think I might turn a new shade of red.

"Enough of the flattery, I actually wanted to show you the library, I was under the impression you liked to read?"

"Yes, I do actually." I smiled in excitement.

"Great, then I know you will just love the collections we have." She offered me her hand, I took it with no hesitation.

With our hands intertwined, we made our way through the Volturi halls.

"Tell me what is it do you like to read?" She asked.

"Well I'll read anything, but I do prefer the classic." I answered.

"The classics? Like what?"

"Wuthering Heights, I can't tell you how many times I've read that book."

"Really." She laughed." I can't tell you how much I've read that book either, I think I've read it to the point where that book is nothing, but pieces."

And that was how it went until we reached the library, surprisingly we had more in common then I thought. It's shocking the things you can learn about someone when you get to know them. Apparently we both have a soft spot for the classics, and enjoy ancient folk tales.

"Well,here we are." We stopped in front of a large double door, which of course the same as all the other doors in the castle.

"This is the library?" I asked doubtfully.

"My personal collection yes, the one open to the guards would be on the floor below us."She pulled out a ring of keys.

"Wow, I'm guessing you all have personal rooms in this castle."

"Of course a queen needs her privacy." She chuckled.

The door opened to a library the size of the Cullen mansion, My human eyes struggled to take in the vast amount of books adorning the shelves. It would take me a lifetime to read madoring of the books in here, and even the there would still be some leftover. I guess this is the result of being immortal. There was a "mini living room" in the corner of her personal library, with a lit fireplace to go along with it.

"Where did all these books come from?" I ran my fingers along the spine of the books on the shelves.

"Well when you get to be as old as I am, you tend to collect a few things."

"A few?" I raised my eyebrows." This looks to be lot more then a few to me."

She smiled." I guess you have a point there, why don't you go pick something to read, I'll be here waiting for you." She took a seat on one of her couches.

"Okay." I rushed off to go find a book.

I found myself wondering about the classical section, looking for a certain book that happened to be my favorite. Of course the other ones caught my attention, I had even made a list in my head of the ones I was planning on reading.

"There you are!" I reached for the book hiding in between two other ones.

I came back to find Didyme already with a book in hand, she looked and smiled when she saw me.

"That didn't take you long." She moved over for me.

"I sort of already knew what I wanted." I sat down.

"That's good, a girl who knows what she want." She winked.

I blushed, knowing there was a hidden meaning behind that small gesture. I sat on the opposite end of the couch, hunched over reading my book of choice. I didn't want to seem rude by putting my feet up on the couch.

"You know that position is not good for your back. Why don't you come here, you can lean against me." She offered.

"O-okay." Who was I to say no.

I moved closer to her, leaning against her side, naturally she put her arm around me. The position we were in seemed so natural, usually whenever Edward and I did this I'd end up super uncomfortable. So Uncomfortable that I would try to hide it by pretending like I had to go do something. With Didyme though, I felt like I could stay like this for days, maybe even doze off.

Which is exactly what sort of what happened.

One minute I was reading an exchange between the main characters in my book, then next thing I knew I had fallen asleep. I'll admit that last night I had gone to bed really upset, and that wasn't a very good mixture if you were hoping to have peaceful nights sleep. So I was expecting myself to be tired, I had even made plans to take a nap later on. But I guess this works.

My body was panged with jealousy, I would do anything to be with my wife right now. And our delicious mate, but no, I'm stuck here doing paperwork! Boring! Boring! Boring Paperwork! Ugh! I leaned back in my chair running my hands through my hair, I only had three more stack to finish and I could finally be done.

I can not wait for the day I get to spend some time with Bella, it was all Didymes idea. She wanted her to get to know is on an individual basis, to help our intentions be made much clearer. I had didn't see the point in it, but you know how the saying goes, "majority rules".

"Why the pout my love." Sulpicia nuzzled my neck.

"You know why." I frowned.

She laughed." Your turn will come soon enough."

"I know." I mumbled.

"You must learn to be patient my love." She kissed me.

"I know, it is one of my unfortunate flaws." I rubbed her hand with my thumb.

"A fixable flaw." She straightened out."Come, you need a break from all this work."

I made no show of objection, letting her lead us towards my bedroom. She freed her hair from its confines, getting upon the bed so could cuddle together. From the second my wife entered the room, I could tell there was a sort of tenseness to her. Obviously something was wrong.

"What is it that it is troubling you, mi amore?" I ran my hand through her dark locks.

She sighed." The news."

"Has someone died?" I asked her.

She sighed again." I'm afraid we might have trouble on our hands."

"Oh, that trouble." My lips pursed into a tight line.

"If anymore keeps coming up missing or dead, well be forced to interfere." She hid her face in my neck.

"Have you told Didyme yet?"

"No, but I was planning to, later on in the evening. I am worried though, I do not think the human world can survive another age of newborn armies being created left and right."

"Do you think that's the case? Maybe it's a serial killer, I mean we had made that mistake before." I suggested.

"Maybe so, but it's good to be sure."

"I guess you're right." I agreed with her."Shall we send out some guards to check on things?"

"Not yet, give it a day or two and then we'll see."

"Alright." I kissed her forehead.

She sighed and snuggled into me more.

The wonders of the Itallian landscapes were best enjoyable, during the mid day sun. That's when it's true beauty was captured. It was usually during this time that children of the town would be out in the fields playing fun little games, having been released from school. It reminded me of the old days, when I was younger. Only those in higher rankings could afford to educate their young ones, I just so happened to be one of those lucky ones. I was a rich merchants daughter, living high on the riches of life. My parents had thought me to be humble, kind, and most of all respectful. It's surprising the way people treat you when you're kind to them.
