Welcome to Kiyiya Volturi's Page

I bet you all thought I had vanished! Ha! Well, I kind of did -grumbles- Remember how I said that my and Demetri’s wedding wouldn’t be a small event? Well....yeah. Let’s just leave that fiasco right where it sits. You remember Bella’s wedding? Well, seems the Volturi are beyond capable of...out doing even poor Alice. Honestly, I’d of preferred Alice doing my wedding at least then it might of stood a chance at being kept small!

For days I laid recovering but once I was healed, I was racing alongside Demetri as he hunted just miles outside of the city of Forks after being granted permission by Carlisle to hunt the local population of homeless. He’d already fed and now we were racing through a forested park when we both slowed to a halt, my head lifting as I scented the air before feeling his cool hand running through my fur as we watched as Sam and his pack paused to watch us before we turned and raced off. My life was no longer in America but was now firmly rooted in Volterra and days later, I stood once more on a hill overlooking the city, the wind rippling through my fur.

Laying down, I watched as the sun slowly dipped below the horizon and with a twitch of an ear, I knew Demetri was behind me and stretching slowly, I rolled to my side, and all but growled happily when he scratched his fingers through my loose fur which was shedding out. Winter was over as far as my body was concerned and Demetri had taken to brushing my coat out, which often resulted in him turning into a vampire sized wolf pile which left Alec, Jane and Felix holding their guts due to their fits of laughter. Apparently laughing too hard and too much still could hurt to a certain degree even if you’re a vampire!

But thankfully, that stage would soon be over and my shorter summer coat would be fully in, something even Marcus was grateful for. Speaking of which, I slowly get up and stretching, follow Demetri as we race back to the castle and leaping the wall to the court yard, I surge over the grounds towards the castle before I come to a halt and smirk as Demetri glares playfully at me. I’d actually managed to beat him and at first, this had annoyed him when I’d first managed it, but now, he took in stride. Phasing, I smiled when he rested my cloak about my shoulders before we headed for the throne room.

It’s here that we see the three kings clearly arguing over something and seeing Demetri smirk, I know instantly, it’s not something that’s terribly serious and they soon stop when they realize we’re in the room. Seeing Marcus nod to me, I make my way over to sit in the throne that’s next to his. A new addition that had seen many covens that had visited us, clearly curious to why my presence didn’t send Caius into a fit of rage, considering his hate for Children of the Moon. But when I phase before them, with clearly no aid of a moon, they soon realize the answer; I’m a shifter not a true were.

Demetri had mentioned he’d had something special to ask the kings and I’d been a bundle of curious nerves but I wasn’t prepared for him to look not to Aro or Caius but instead to Marcus. “My lord, with your permission, I would like to ask if I could marry your soul daughter?” He asked while keeping his head bowed respectfully. But I was surprised when Marcus instead of answering turned to look at me expectantly and without any encouraging, I lunged into a startled Demetri’s arms while he quickly held me close to prevent us from falling as Aro chuckled lightly. 

Nearly a month later, I looked up from reading next to Marcus while he stood, when the throne room doors slammed open and Santiago entered leading a blonde haired vampire. After hearing what Irina had to say, I must admit, I was uneasy. This was a serious crime if true but Aro seemed to believe her and days later, the guard in it’s entirety was summoned and after dressing the part, followed Marcus out to the waiting jets. 14 hours later, we landed in a deserted airport that the Volturi seemed to own, though the notion didn’t surprise me. Sensing Demetri behind me, I turn and smile when he leans against me, and whispers to me. “I may have to carry you Mi amore. The place we are to meet with the Cullens is a ways off.” I smile and nod and allow him to lift me up before we’re racing behind the others.

Minutes later, he sets me down and smiling up to him, I barely notice Marcus’ look of approval as Demetri briefly hugs me before we head for the nearby snow covered meadow where we can see the few witnesses Carlisle has managed to assemble. But nearly instantly, I sense them, hear them even, and I nearly halt in my movements had Demetri not realized quickly what was going on and moving to my side, he watched as Felix came to stand on my right side as I managed to come to stand next to Marcus, a faint and surprise mumur coming from the other side from both the vampires and the shifters. Clearly Alice hadn’t seen my presence and I shot Afton a grateful glance. We’d been working on his mental and physical shields for days now and thus far, he had excelled at every challenge thrown his way.

When Edward made his way over to us, I shot Marcus a curious glance but otherwise remained quiet. I had a funny feeling that Aro wasn’t going to judge anyone too harshly, or at least, I hoped so, and as if hearing my thoughts, Edward shot me a look, a look that saw Aro’s gleeful smile, drop. He knew I was still uneasy with what we would find, knew every fiber of my being was on the highest alert possible but thus far, Renesmee’s scent hadn’t alerted my beast to come out. A fact that no doubt, hadn’t escaped Aro’s notice and when he asked to see Renesmee, we all watched curiously as she was guided over to us by Bella with Jacob and Emmett following. Looking to Afton, I watched as he gave a brief nod, before I felt his shield encompass me, protecting my mind from Jake’s.

As the minutes ticked by, I watched as Alice and Jasper then came out of no where with two others following them. Though I wasn’t really paying attention, I soon realized, it was over before I even looked back. Heh. Goes to show how well my attention span is! But as I turn to leave with Demetri and he pulls me close, I feel it, sense it, smell it and hear it; TRAITOR! And before anyone has any idea of what’s going on, I’m flying past the guard, yelping in pain as I phase as Paul slams into me. Disoriented from the sudden attack and the thousands of thoughts and emotions slamming into me, I’m barley able to kick him off. I only barley hear Carlisle yell to Sam that if he didn’t order Paul to stand down, he’d be killed but before Sam could give the other, Paul is ripping into my back and howling in pain, I rear to my back legs in an attempt to crush him below my own weight, when suddenly, he lets go, while yelping in pain. Jane! Thank the gods! Injured, I whine as my vision blurs from the blood pooling below me and I realize with a shock, he’d hit an artery.

It was this sudden realization, that sent Marcus and Demetri to my side while Carlisle flashed over to us, my jaws hanging open, my eyes unfocused, unseeing, through the haze of blinding pain in my back. I’m barely blinking, only doing so when the pain in my eyes becomes too much to bear on top of the pain in my back. Paul is no longer yelping but I can see Sam is furious with him. I had imprinted on Demetri. It wasn’t something I chose to do. It’s something that just happens and Sam sees and understands this. Aro is clearly impressed with his anger as he orders Paul to leave the meadow after phasing to his human form and walking over to me to help Carlisle. I’m shivering at this point. I feel colder than I should and slowly my paws stop holding me up and I slowly slump to the ground, my head falling to rest in Demetri’s arms.

I can feel Carlisle stitching the wound up, feel him stitching the artery back together, halting the blood from falling out of my body at such a rapid pace. “She needs rest, but she needs to be kept away from Paul for a while.” I hear Carlisle say as Demetri gently lifts my human form into his arms, mindful of my injury. Huh I must of phased and don’t remember it. I can barely hear Sam’s voice, barely hear Demetri’s telling me to stay with him as I sleep into a deep slumber. Demetri was cursing when he saw the grey colored wolf lunge at his mate faster than he thought possible. But when he’d heard her scream of pain, he’d reacted by looking to Jane pleadingly. She hadn’t needed any encouragement. She’d unleashed her power in a display not often seen before he’d rushed to Kiy’s side only to smell blood and lots of it.

It’s been a day and a half and the Kings had yet to leave the throne room. Hell they refused anyone entry except for their own personal guards and even then, they only allowed three in. It was odd even for them from what I’ve been told and as such, everyone was uneasy, even more so when the entire guard was summoned, but the anxiety rose to an all new height when this consisted of all 30+ members.

It came even more of a surprise when I was finally summoned, though I wasn’t nearly as anxious as the others but in the offset chance, I still showed up phased to my wolf form and warily made my way down to the thrones, only slightly freaked out when the entire guard snapped to attention. But once the doors closed, did I realize everyone was formally dressed and in the back of my mind, I began wondering if I was walking into a death trap.

As if sensing my worries, Marcus beckoned me to him and moving slowly to his side, I rested my head on his lap and nosed his hands before he spoke to me. “Go and phase back my dear.” He stated as I frowned warily before stepping back and doing so, my human form falling into place smoothly, still clothed. My hair cascaded down my back as I stood before him and his two brothers, but my gaze was still wary.

Aro however smiled and considering the amount of time, I’ve spent with all three brothers, I knew when his smile was vindictive and when it was genuine and seeing it was the latter, I relaxed instantly. Suddenly, Aro spoke and instantly I was alert. “Kiy, you may be wondering why you were summoned last. You have also noticed the guard was uneasy. And you also noticed my brothers and I haven’t left this room in 24hrs. You may be wondering why just as the guard is.” 

I honestly was curious to learn why. I honestly figured it was because we’d be left with one less coven to deal with and canting my head curiously, watched as Aro nodded to me. “After much discussing, we have decided, you will no longer remain Marcus’ personal guard. You have gone beyond what we expected of a shifter to do. And he has seen your bond with him strengthen after this last fight. As such, it would honor us, if you would consider becoming his daughter, instead of his guard.” 

Okay I wasn’t expecting that! Stunned into silence, I can see Marcus’ faint smirk knowing it was a shock to me to be asked such a question. He’d learned I’d been driven from my pack. Learned I’d left everything in America behind to travel Italy. If anyone knew me, it was him. Aro allowed me the time needed to wrap my head around the sudden question but the second Marcus stood, I was leaping into his arms with such force that he nearly toppled back into his throne and hearing his chuckle, knew my answer pleased him.

Pulling back, I turned to see Aro exchanging a smile with Caius before I turned to look at the assembled guard before seeing Demetri standing at the front with Felix but I nearly jumped out of my skin when my old necklace was removed, and a newer one, was placed around my neck. It still carried the Volturi’s crest, but it was a rose gold pendant instead of the usual yellow or white gold worn by the guard themselves. It was then, I knew my entire rank had changed and quickly I worried of the friendships I’d made with each of the guards and looking to Aro, saw he was looking to me curiously.

“My rank may have changed, but...I ask that my friendships remain intact. I’ve worked hard to become friends with so many of you. Don’t think a necklace change, or status change, changes who I am as a friend. I’d still die for each of you.” I state clearly, grateful that my voice doesn’t fail me despite the wide range of emotions going through me at that moment in time.Seeing Felix smirk, I turn to look at him and then to the twins. Seeing their faint smiles, I feel reassured that nothing between us has changed despite my rank change.

My only question that evening, as I laid in my new room, was how far would I be pushed to test my loyalty to those I held dear. I worried very much about this. Unable to sleep I get up, grab a robe and head for Jane’s rooms in the Guard’s wing of the castle. Knocking, I wait till she answers and seeing the surprised look on her face, I give her a sheepish smile. “I can’t sleep and was hoping you could offer your sister from another mister, some....help...I guess?” I was floundering well before I’d begun and hearing Alec’s door open, watched as he walked the short distance to us before I’m pulled into Jane’s room.

Smiling, I sit on the floor before the fireplace and watch as Alec flops on the couch before me while Jane sits next to me. Slowly I explain everything to them and Alec gives me an understanding smile before sitting next to me and hugging me. “You’re our sister. Just because you’re our sister slash princess slash daughter of our King, doesn’t change our friendship with you. I’ve even heard the same reply from Felix and several others.” He states as I nod and smiling, curl up to them. It’s how Marcus finds us the next morning. I’d apparently fallen asleep during the night to early morning hours. Smiling at the scene before him, Marcus quickly held up a hand to silence his curious brothers who smirked when they saw the twins curled around Hitomi, who lay burrowed into the pillows.

It’s been nearly three months since any nomads have caused us any issues. The three kings had decided it was as good a time as any to go visit a nearby coven but something within my very soul said they were in danger and well before Felix had returned, battered and clearly injured, I had already left. Racing through the forest that lay just on the outskirts of Tuscany, I thrilled in the surge of wind over my fur, the feeling of the forest below my paws and through all of this, I could feel my bonds with Marcus, Jane, Alec and Demetri getting stronger. Meanwhile far ahead, Demetri’s head snapped up when he felt Kiy’s mind brush his own and he could see she had the same affect on the others within the guard. As if guiding him to strike those within closest range to him. 

Hearing the coven leader hiss at Marcus, he spun only to watch stunned as a blur of white fur shot from the trees and slammed into the leader as he lunged for the three kings. The sound akeen to a crash of thunder before Kiy dropped before the other coven and standing to her full height, snarled low, fangs glinting in the faint light of the moon, her fur glistened and seemed to shimmer as she moved forward. Clearly thinking she was a Child of the Moon, the coven leader coward away in fear, knowing full, that such creatures held no remorse for who they killed and their speed was beyond that of a vampires. Hearing his begging, Kiy curled her lips back. She’d seen his attack, she’d seen his target and with no warning, struck. The coven leader shrieking in pain as she circled him.

Stand and fight you coward! Or have you no backbone to even defend your coven and their actions against the Volturi! She snarled to his mind and hissing, he lunged only for her to meet him and rip his left arm off before tossing it, onto the steadily burning pile before turning to growl low. Aro had to finally admit. He’d seen Caius’ temper in battle, but Kiy’s was slowly beginning to rival his and even Caius stood in stunned amazement. When next the coven leader struck, Kiy simply grabbed him by the neck and ripped his head off and tossed it into the flames, before standing atop his body, eyes flashing in the light of the moon before she turned and walked up to Marcus and nosed his hands, instantly calm and reserved despite what he and his brothers and their guard had just witnessed. Nosing into Marcus’ hands, Kiy curled close before Marcus beckoned for her to follow him and his brothers as they headed for the castle.

I’m exhausted and it’s been a long day to say the least. I discovered that during the time it took Alec to pretty much knock me out cold to the time it took Marcus to get me out of the room, two of our newer guards had nearly lost it when they’d caught the scent of my blood. So here I was, heading for the training room and once there, nudged the door open to see the two guards in question sparring. Though the guard instantly snapped to attention when I entered but a quick glance had them relaxing before they watched as I phased with ease to my human form, but what I did next could of very well been a death sentence, had I not locked my gaze to Sam’s and Jason’s. I’d slit my left hand open.

Instantly they were in front of me and the rest of the guard looked on warily. “Sam. Jason. Relax. Your hunger doesn’t control who you are. You control it. You both aren’t newborns now so this must end before someone gets seriously hurt or worse.” I state firmly as I hold my bleeding hand out to them and watch as Sam warily lifts my hand in her’s. “I don’t understand why you would knowingly endanger yourself m’lady.” She whispered as I smile. “I’m in no danger Sam because I trust each and every guard in this very room, in this castle.” I reply easily enough as she smiles up to me before hugging me gently soon followed by Jason. Smiling, I hug them back as my palm heals. Smiling I pull away before moving to where Demetri has continued to stand frozen in place and seeing my approach, he pulls me close and smiling, I turn in his arms to watch as the guard returns to their practice. 

That evening, I’m sitting in the throne room when Caius enters and notices me sitting alone, reading a book I’d kidnapped from Marcus’ vast library. I’ve yet to hear his approach and so engrossed in my book, I nearly jumped out of the chair I was in, when a cloak was rested about my shoulders and seeing Caius smirking at me, I roll my eyes before settling into his cloak. “My lord.” I acknowledge as he sits across from me. “Why are you alone Kiy?” He asks softly as I sigh softly. “I needed to get away from both Marcus, Demetri and the personal guard you and Aro assigned to me.” I reply softly as he frowns at this. “Why?” He asks as I sigh and set my book down, thinking before replying. “I’m not used to people caring about me. It’s a new thing to have it happen when I was chased from my ‘pack’ if you will.” I reply easily as he frowns but nods, dropping the subject as I return to my book.

It’s been several days now despite what this journal entry says. I’ve managed to phase and it’s been a welcome relief. Any remaining injuries have healed and since then, I’ve been summoned to the throne room. I’m nervous as I’ve never been summoned before so I’m not sure what’s going on or what’s going to happen. I’ve already made my way to throne room doors and Felix and another guard, Afton I think, are standing there and seeing Felix smile, I’m a bit confused but walk through the door he and Afton hold open. Entering, I see Marcus seated on his throne while Aro and Caius are standing off to one side near the table that holds the wide array of books. Not sure what to do, I wait to see who speaks to me first. 

To my surprise, Marcus beckons me over to him and walking over, I rest my head on his lap, thoroughly enjoying his touch on my ears before listening to him as he speaks. “As you may know my dear, each of us have personal guards, the wives included. However, for the most part, many of our guards have been recovering from the recent attacks, which limits the guards we have for ‘personal guards’. Normally Felix, Demetri, Jane and Alec are our guards, but as of late, they’ve been needed for other, more pressing matters. However, you have proven yourself more times than I can count. Most recently, you took an attack aimed for me and it pains me to know you suffered.” I halt him by nosing his hands, showing no harm was done and seeing him smile, I simply bury my head into his hands more as he continues. “As such, I have decided to include you as my personal guard.” His words caught me so much off guard, I’m left blinking in surprise as he smiles down to me before slipping the Volturi crest’s necklace about my neck. 

“Don’t worry, when you phase, it won’t constrict you or anything.” He stated as I nod. For several days, my routine was normal. I spent the majority of my time in the throne room. Either laying in front, beside or behind Marcus. Aro was clearly impressed with my loyalty to his brother and even Caius had warmed up to my presence somewhat. So it was, one day, when a visiting coven entered only to see me curled up before Marcus’s throne. I was asleep when they entered and spotted me but the second I caught their scents, I was wide awake, my ears twitching as I watched their approach. They were wary of my presence. Good. They were less likely to do or try something, or at least, I hope that would be the case. Aro spoke first to them, listened to them speak while I stayed close to Marcus’s side, but it was at this moment, something behind us caught my attention and turning my head, barely had a chance to bark a warning before a small child slammed into me, the pair of us flying head over tail into a pillar and yelping in pain, I laid there, stunned.

I’ve woken to find I’ve been dressed in a black silk sleeping gown. Huh. Must of been Demetri. There’s no way, if what Marcus says is true, that Demetri would allow another near me right now, not with my being so weakened. Oh man, I hurt all over. That bitch’s gift sure packed a 1 - 2 punch to the gut that’s for damn sure. It hurts to even move, and I can’t even phase which would speed things up. -sighs- This utterly sucks! Hmm someone’s coming....-trails off when I see Demetri entering and as if sensing I’m awake, he comes to my side- What does one say to their potential mate? I’ve imprinted but does he even feel the same pull? Is imprinting the same for a vampire as it is for a wolf? Ugh! I wish I had more answers than questions! I know Marcus would of explained things to Demetri on how I was being drawn to him, but....does this mean anything to him?

-sighing, I’ve yet to notice the look of concern flash in Demetri’s eyes. Had I merely looked, I would know the affections, the attentions, were returned and felt 10 fold but for years, I’ve been a lone wolf and so I don’t notice until he lifts my head, forcing me to look at him-

“Still your thoughts Mi Amare. Imprinting or not, I feel the same way. My whole world jerked to a halt when I saw you. If that isn’t the call of the mating bond than I don’t know what is.” -states Demetri- Huh, I guess he does feel the same way. Even still, I’m still uncertain but for now, I’m content with his answer and as such, curl into him tiredly. Besides, I’m not much good to anyone in this weakened state and from what I can gather of my body’s functions, it’s going to be awhile before I recover fully. Closing my eyes, I never hear him hiss when he looks at my right arm which bears the tell tale scar of a vampire’s bite. Huh. I forgot all about that. In fact, it happened so long ago, I can’t even remember the vampire’s name who caused said bite. I can’t even remember who reversed the affects to be truthful with you. I briefly feel Demetri pull me close against him while I’m still under the blankets and breathing deeply, I slowly start to drift back to sleep.

I awoke late it would seem and I’ve been moved to a new bedroom as well, though I can’t be certain as the bedrooms in the castle all seem to share the same color schemes; blacks, reds and golds. Wait! This scent! I know it, well, sort of. It’s that guard’s! Why the hell am I in his rooms?! -stands in growing alarm and frowns before moving to the door and nudging it open, darts out into the hallway- Huh. I’ve been moved to the guard’s wing. I can smell Felix, Jane and Alec’s rooms but the other guards I’ve not yet met. Best to make myself scarce least it causes trouble. -trots off before moving to another door after following Aro’s scent and peers into the throne room and stiffens- more nomads? Why are they here? Haven’t they had enough fighting with the Volturi? Do they wish to have their entire coven such as it stands ripped to shreds?

Watching these idiots plead their cases is rather amusing at times but also boring. I don’t get how Aro can stand it. Reading their thoughts and knowing he’s been verbally lied too. Heh, Caius has spotted me but he looks...worried? Why is he worried? He’s a warrior for crying out loud! Wait. This nomad is threatening revenge for the loss of his mate? I don’t recall any female vampires being here the last time unless. -twitches her ears and leaps forward just as said female vampire lunges for her and snarling, rears to her hind paws, Aro showing visible anger at being lied too as I manage to subdue the female only to yelp loudly in pain-

I know this isn’t Jane’s doing. I know what her gift feels like. This female seems to share the same gift but instead of it being a damn illusion, she’s capable of making it real! -Snarls low, fighting through the pain despite the blood now dripping from my jaws and nose before standing firmly in place, my ears pulled back along with my lips- I know Felix can’t help because it seems, she’s able to affect more than just one person cause the poor guy’s lying on the floor as well. Ugh! I was never cut out for this but I swear the Fates are testing me, to see if I’ll crumble under this crap. Well, they thought wrong! -Lunges and snarls low as I manage to sink my fangs into the other’s neck- I’m weakening due to her power, and if I don’t succeed soon, I’ll be in alot of trouble pain wise. Ah, there we go. Her head’s off and the pain is ebbing away like a tide, but damn, I feel so tired.

I can hear Aro saying something and Caius yelling orders. He never yells unless it’s serious but dear Gods I hurt too much. You know, someone once said, if you’re going to die young, go out with a bang. Guess this is it for me. -Slowly crumples to the marble floor but frowns tiredly when strong arms hold my head up- Heh, seems Demetri caught me. I’ll never admit it to anyone but I like this guy alot. It’s a shame really, that one vampire was able to do so much damage. But then, that was her intention it seems. Marcus is at my side now, trying to keep my nose clear of blood and someone has just yelled Carlisle’s name. Wait! When did the Cullens get here? Ugh, I’m too tired, too sore, and too weak for this. I just want to sleep but Demetri’s voice is keeping me awake. I can hear Carlisle’s voice saying I’ll be fine but damn it, I sure don’t feel fine.

Hmm I feel like we’re moving but I can’t really tell. I just want to sleep. Oh gods a bed! Finally someone listened to my prayers! I can see the worry showing in Demetri’s eyes as he wipes the blood from my jaws and nose, but I’m sore very tired, so much so that right before him, I phase back to my human form. Okay, that may have been a bad move! I’m freezing! And holy shit! I’m naked! Where the hell are my clothes!? Oh gods! What a grand way of becoming a lush on someone else’s bed! No matter how much I may like this guy, I didn’t need my liking him to show this way! Hmm, he doesn’t seem to mind. In fact...he’s laughing! Ugh! -I pull the blankets over myself, sore and tired and drained of my energy- “Mi Amare, you are beautiful, even in this state.” Says Demetri as I frown and eye him tiredly before watching as he closes the curtains blanketing the room in wonderful darkness, darkness that’s only broken by the fire glowing in the fireplace. Slowly, I drift to sleep, never noticing that Demetri has laid down behind me and is carefully rubbing my bare back. 

Demetri couldn’t believe his eyes let alone his ears when Aro and Marcus had told him, his Soul Mate had entered the castle and that he wouldn’t believe his eyes when he saw her. Sure they’d been right. So very, very right. When he’d first seen the albino wolf walking next to Marcus one day, he’d felt his world come to a crashing halt. He’d never thought he’d find her, his mate, after nearly several years of searching, but there she was, walking next to Marcus who was speaking to her silently as if she could speak back, though, judging by the way his lord would nod, it seemed she could very well do just that. When he next saw her, she was sitting as a woman, next to Marcus in Aro’s throne as the two spoke softly about something. He’d been mesmerized since then and had taken great pains to follow her whenever she went off alone. And now, here she laid, on his bed, naked, though not of her free will, battered and hurting. He could feel the shivers of pain that would go through her, and just once, prayed he had another gift that could ease it.

It’s been a weird day thus far. It seems those nomads wanted to kill the three kings. If their screams of pain are anything to go by, I’d say that plan backfired quite horribly. Needless to say, Caius has...lightened up if you will, where it concerns me. He’s even taken an interest in how I am fairing thus far but I’ve avoided giving him or Aro my full trust on the matter. Marcus knows I’m still worn out, still recovering, but trusts my judgement. Jane and Alec have been amazing thus far but this scent that clings to me like a glove, has me curious. I know it’s one of the guards but who I don’t know and I’m feeling too lazy to go and track this person down.

Eh. Maybe not lazy, but worn out. I barely made it back to the library which I’ve discovered to be a safe haven from the guards before collapsing before the fireplace. It’s weird you know? Vampires having lit fireplaces when one wrong move and poof! They’d go up in flames. Makes me wonder if it’s just for...decor purposes or a reminder of the warmth they no longer are able to produce. Ah well, I’m sore is all I know. -twitches an ear as the door opens and frowns- Hmm that scent, it’s that scent that’s been covering me! -Slowly gets up and peers around the couch only to see Demetri- Hmmm, he’s the tracker Jane’s told me about. What’s he doing in the bloody library? 

Not that I’m complaining! But not many of the guard come in here. I guess only Marcus enjoys books, well, Aro and Caius do but you know, books seem to be Marcus’ only love well, aside from his deceased wife. What is this guard are up too? He seems overly content to just...sit at that table and ignore me. -cants her head before heading for the day but jerks to a halt when Demetri speaks- “I have to thank you for protecting my Masters today. We hadn’t expected the nomads to be so...cocky. It’s been known that wolves do not like our kind and for good reason. We’re natural enemies. So it’s a welcome relief if you will, to know at least one, does not share the same views as her kin.” Well then! I’m glad to know he’s not lumping me in the same group as the other shifters!

I merely nod to him before leaving, to be honest with you, this pull that I feel towards him is almost as if I’ve imprinted on him and to be honest with you, that would never be accepted let alone tolerated. Even if he feels the same pull, I could never be accepted into his coven. It’s a dream. A nice dream, but a dream nonetheless and it’s one filled with grief and pain at the end. I’ve learned long ago that I will never be accepted and I’ve accepted this. Perhaps it’s the Fates way of punishing me for being a wolf. Who knows but I know one thing, if Demetri values his position within the guard, he’ll start to keep his distance and simply stay clear of me and I will do the same. -pauses outside the throne room doors, ears pulled back before nudging the one door open.

Inside I see Marcus and Aro, Caius is more than likely with his wife so I make my way over to Marcus and curl up next to his throne. This has become a routine with me. A routine he’s happily accepted and one even Aro and Caius seem more than happy to accept. I jerk to a halt realizing that Marcus has said something but I’m so lost in my own thoughts that I hadn’t noticed until now and looking up to him, I rest my head on his lap while watching as Aro lifted one of my front paws, a stunned expression showing on his face at both more than likely my own thoughts and what Marcus had said to him, but I’m still too tired to acknowledge anything. “My dear. It would seem one of our guards has become the very reason you exist.” Stated Aro as I look to him too tired to comprehend whatever it is he’s trying to say and as if seeing this, Marcus uses his vampire strength to pull me onto his lap.
