Save Your Soul

Teach Me

"The way I was born to? I don't even know who you are, or where you came from...or how you even managed to get in my bedroom."

Aro chuckled and stood up, gesturing then to the open window across the room. He turned to face me, and for the first time I truly realized how blood red this eyes were. Not only his iris, but his entire sclera seemed red, aged almost. How many lifetimes has his man lived?

I felt more confident within the walls of my own home. I walked to stand face to face with him, suddenly forgetting the monster that he was. Forgetting that this could all be a game to him; to get me feeling comfortable enough to trust him and just then...he'd kill me.

"Why are you here, Aro?" I lifted my hand, "I'll let you see more, but regardless of what you are, you can't just trespass into someone's space without explaining yourself."

"Sei testardo, most would either run or completely submit. Not you, dearest Luna."

I laughed, "Please, you're the least terrifying thing I've ever encountered. Now....explain"

He explained to me the story of an old family, the Chandlers. A vampiric family, whose coven resided in England. They were powerful, almost too powerful. To the point where they believed they were above vampire law. Aro sent this guards to destroy them, after they had created multiple immortal children; children turned at an age where they have no sense of self control. One was spared, a human who was a servant to the clan while he awaited his transition. He promised Aro he would always be at this service if he spared him, and every member of his family was the Volturi's to claim.

The Chandlers lived on the land the Knight Estate was build upon, I knew this.

"After their abolishment, the spared soul claimed your surname, and built a lineage of successful humans. With help from us, of course, your family became the most powerful in all of England...."

"So you're the reason I spent my entire life in luxurious misery?" I threw myself onto my bed, "you're the reason my family is so hungry for fortune that love never passes their hearts?"

He nodded, "You, Luna...were never born to be loved by humans. You were born to be loved by me, by my kind. By vampires"

I was the great granddaughter, three times down the line, I was the sworn soul. Suddenly my life made sense. The misery in the world I lived in, the lack of care for human luxury and material items. The lack of connection I felt toward my own family...and the instant connection I felt for this man. I felt relieved, I felt as though I had found everything I had been looking for.

"Then what are you waiting for?" I stood closer to him so that our faces were almost touching, "Do it."
