The Definition Is Mundane

Chapter 9: Voltori

How am I going to find this meeting?
I closed my eyes and thought of Alexander and where he could be, then it got weird. I could see a room with concrete walls, it was a basement.
How can I see this? Wait Alex said we're connected, was this what he ment? Does this make me a stalker?
I acted on the impulse and ran to his house. The gate was locked and I knew the door was locked as well.
Since when does he lock the gate?
I looked around the house and saw his car. I know he is here, so I must be in the right place. I glanced down at what I was wearing. I had on a black dress and my hair hung down my back, I wore my usual combat boots and a small backpack. I tied my hair up into a bun and, since my dress stopped just above my knee, I pulled it up to the middle of my thigh. Then I climbed over the gate and walked to the door. I knocked three times with the serpent knocker. I stared into the green studded snake's ruby eyes waiting for the door to open. After a few moments I turned and began to leave when I heard Jameson's voice.
"Miss Madison? May I help you?"
"Jameson where is Alexander? "
"I'm sorry he is not here."
I waved and started walking away, until he closed the door. I took out my phone and called Alexander. The phone rang twice and then he answered.
"What the fuck do you want?"
"I'm surprised you answered." I said shocked.
"Raven." He sighed "I don't have time for this."
"Alexander please just tell me." I said.
"Raven my goal is to protect you, but if you come on your own then I won't stop you." He said solemnly.
"I'm not even sure if I'm in the right place." I said on the verge of tears.
"You are in the right place and you know where to go, but I cannot assure you how the council will react." He whispered "I have to go. I love you, bye."
He hung up and I stood there looking back at the door. I walked up and knocked again. This time when Jameson answered I bolted into the house.
"Is there a barrier up? They can put up barriers, right. How do I get in..." I said quickly as, I had started tearing up, but was interrupted by Alexander.
"Raven calm down." Alexander said walking out of a door in between the two staircases.
"Alex I love you." I said and started to cry. Alexander walked over and calmly hugged me.
"Let's go." He said holding my hand. We walked down to where the basement should be. Instead there was a grey and red concrete room with three thrown like chairs sitting at the far end with banners hanging behind them, the men in the chairs were seemingly unhappy with the whole ordeal. Beside them was a man that looks like an older version of Alexander.
"So this is the human." The man in the middle chair said. Alexander nodded and stood in the center of the room facing the men. I stood next to him grabbing on to his arm as if someone was going to rip me away.
"Alekzandër why have you disgraced me?"
"Father I have only followed in your footsteps." He said with no emotion.
"Girl what is your name?" The man in the first chair asked. I looked at Alexander and he nodded.
"I'm Raven Madison."
"Raven you are sixteen, yes? The middle man asked.
"Yes. Why?" The man just smiled and turned his attention to Alexander.
"A bit young for you; a bit young for a queen, no? One might even call her a minor."
"You are to do it now." Alexander's father said
"Make me." He replied.
"Never, my son." Mr Sterling said with a smirk.
There was complete silence and tension that could be cut with a knife. The middle man broke the silence.
"Kill her." he said to Mr. Sterling, who nodded and took three steps towards us. Alexander straightened up and stepped in front of me.
"If you want her you will have to come through me yourself Aro." Alexander stared at the middle man, who's name is apparently Aro.
Aro stood and within the blink of an he was face to face with Alexander. They stared at each other intensely for a few moments, then Alexander growled and Aro stepped back.
"Leave them be." Aro said to the other men and turned us "You are free to go, for now." Then they disappeared and Alexander led me back to the living room. He ran his fingers through his bangs causing them to fall into his face.
"Not what you expected, right?" He said with a weak smirk. I looked up at him. You strategicly made your bangs fall in your face didn't you.
"Maybe." He chuckled "I still owe you."
"When are you gonna make it up then?" I asked taking a step towards him.
"I will make this entire week up to you on Saturday, I promise." He said flipping his bangs out of his face.
"Its a deal." I said smiling.
Just one more day! Tomorrow is Friday!
"I'm guessing I won't see you at all tomorrow." I said
"I'm sorry but no I have things to attend to and I need rest. This has been a hectic week." He said and kissed me on the cheek. "Would you like me to take you home?"
"No thank you, I'll be fine. Except I have a question about the council."
"What is it?" He asked seriously
"Is Aro the council leader?"
"Yes, why?"
"No reason, I was just curious." I said before kissing him goodbye. As I left I couldn't wait to see what our romance would lead to in the future.

Dear Diary,
The council leader,Aro, is scary and
I think he is afraid of Alexander. I
need to find out why a powerful leader is afraid of an eighteen year
old.

Wish me luck.
