A/N: Ophelia is happier than she's ever been, but it seems like some parties disagree with her humanity...
"I love you."
Marcus' eyes fill with even more emotion, as I feel the bond click into place perfectly between us.
"I love you too, Ophelia." he whispers, his hold on me tightening. We stand there for a long time, just looking at each other, considering this new realization.
"Let's head back to the castle. You must be tired." Marcus ends the silence, beginning to lead me away. Our hands find each other on their own accord, intertwining like we had never walked alone. The way to the castle is quiet, but peaceful, my heart feeling warm.
"Ophelia!" A scream, and I'm startled when Felix appears from around a corner, wrapping his arms tightly around me.
"Felix, what's wrong?" I ask, noticing how his body's shaking, dark liquid covering him. Blood.
"Felix." Marcus says sternly, drawing my guard's attention.
"I-They took us by surprise. Aro and Caius..." Felix falters, and when his eyes meet mine, the world stops spinning.
"They took them."
"No." I whisper, feeling my knees buckle under my weight. Felix holds me up, arms wrapped tightly around my waist, and my eyes turn to Marcus, who seems equally worried, his hand on my shoulder instantly.
"The rebels we spoke of today?" Marcus asks. His expression is stern, and he briefly reminds me of a general. Felix nods, and my heart sinks.
"W-what happened?" I bring out, locking eyes with Felix.
"They surprised us, we think they got to Aro and Caius through the gardens. They found us in the game room, and it was only after the fight that I realized they were gone. I feared they'd come for you two as well, but maybe they didn't know you went out. Thank God you weren't there..." Felix rambles, his hold on me still tight, as if he's afraid I'll disappear too if he lets go of me.
Aro and Caius had been taken.

-Aro's POV-
When Aro wakes up, his head is pounding. What the hell happened?
"Aro! Wake up." Someone hisses from beside him, and then it clicks. Caius.
"What happened? Were we... asleep?" Aro asks, terribly confused. Vampires couldn't sleep.
"They sedated us. Kidnapped us. I swear to God, I'll kill them!" Caius hisses, sounding pissed off beyond reasoning. The memories rush back to him at hearing his brother's words. They'd been in the garden, cleaning up after the pool party of that day.
"How the hell did they get into the gardens?" Aro asks, roaming through his memories. If only he could read the minds of those who captured them...
"No idea. Whoever they are, they have someone on the inside. Bastards." Caius mutters.
Aro looks around, trying to take in their surroundings. It seemed like they were both tied to a metal chair with metal chains, the entire room made out of metal. Giving it a tug, Aro realizes the bindings won't budge.
"I think it's a special type of metal that can withstand vampire strength. Maybe they even sedated us with it." Caius notes. It seemed that his brother had tried everything already, perhaps he had been awake for longer.
"You're probably right. Ophelia and Marcus?" Worry fills Aro, as he feels something missing where the bond normally warms up his heart at the memory of their mate.
