Caius's Mate

Fifty Two

It had been a week since I had had my baby girl. She was everything to me. I loved her more than anything.

Caius came into the room.

"You really burried them all," he sighs coming in.

"Great conversation starter," I said blandly.

"Sorry," he sighs. "Demetri is just.."

"I swear if you say impressed I will find something and throw it at you," I warned.

Caius smiled slightly. "Youre still the same," he said touching my cheek.

"Yeah not now," I told him slightly annoyed with the conversation starter.

"Okay," he sighs. "Demetri is on the way back with his body," he said.

I nodded and looked away. "Can I do something in memorial?"

"Of course what would you like to do?"

"A garden," I said.

"That sounds lovely," he said taking my hand. He looked down. I still haven't taken off the ring.

"Im not taking it off Caius," I told him.

"I'm not expecting you to either," he said to me.

I nodded and sighed.

I bit my  lip. "Can I have a laptop?" I asked.

"Of course, we can go get one for you," he said.

"Thanks. I know I have to stay in bed another week but I just want to write," I said.

He nodded. "We can also get your sketch pad in here too," he said smiling.

I nodded and then bit my lip.

"Izzy whats wrong? You make that face when something is wrong," he said.

I sighed. "Have you figured out who has done this?" I asked. "Killed them?"

"No I havent," he sighs.

"Aro?"

"I dont know," he said truthfully. "He said he doesn't know about it," he looked down.

"My memory is coming back from that foggy day... it had to be him Caius," I whispered

"What do you remember," he took both of my hands.

"Peter. He was dying in my arms..."

Peter opened his eyes weakly. "Izzy," he whispered his breath shallow.

"Peter. Peter please hold on. Please," I whispered clinging onto him. "Dont let go," I whispered.

"I love you," he whispered tears in his eyes. "Im sorry I couldnt protect you," he said. He weakly lifted his hand to put it on my cheek.

"God damn it Peter you arent going to die," I said trying to pick him up.

"Its okay," he said.

"No Peter. I cant live without you please you dont understand. Youre the first person who made me feel normal. Feel human please fight for me please baby. I cant lose you please Peter. Please," I cried holding onto him tightly.

"Youre going to be fine," he said closing his eyes.

"PETER GOD DAMN IT OPEN YOU EYES FIGHT FOR ME," I said.
