The Volturi Princess (COMPLETED)

Chapter Ten: Just a little longer

****
After seeing the others, Demetri shows me to my room. I opened the door and gasped lightly, walking around.

It was huge! There was a dresser on the wall next to the bed (which was huge!!), a night stand in the other side, a tv across from the bed on a stand. Next to the tv was a full bathroom to go along with the master bedroom. A window sat along the wall with a balcony on the other side, looking out over the city.

"Is this... My room?" I asked in awe.

I heard Demetri chuckle and he smiled. "Yes, Princess. I hope it is acceptable, If not it wouldn't take long to change."

I looked over at Demetri and smiled back. "It's perfect." I set my back pack, which was more like a huge duffle bag,  down by the base of the dresser. Walking over to the Window doors, I opened them and stepped onto the balcony.

It was perfect! Instantly I took a liking to the view. I leaned over the rail a bit so I could look farther over the city, and into the sunset. I lost my balance for a moment, almost tumbling headfirst downwards!

I felt two hands on my sides, setting my back on the balcony floor. "Don't worry, I've got you." Demetri said.

"Thanks." I replied, looking up at him and smiling. He smiled back and lead me inside. I'd had enough adventure today.

"Are you hungry?" He asked.

"No, not really." I stated, shaking my head. He nodded in return.

"So... Demetri.. Can I ask you something?" I said, hesitantly. He looked over at my, seeming a little worried, but nevertheless replied, "Of course, what is it?"

"How long... Have you been a vampire?" I was scared to ask, I didn't want him to become closed off. I really hope he didn't hate me now.

He pursed his lips and looked down, before looking back up at me. "I would say.. But I don't want to scare you." I looked at him oddly and smiled lightly.

"It's not going to scare me."

"Well... In about 1000 AD in Greece, I was created by Amun, another living vampire, part of the Egyptian coven. So.. I am essentially over 1000 years old, stuck at 18 forever."

I gasped lightly. And I felt as if my jaw hit the floor. He was over 1000 years old?!

His eyes softened and he reached his head to run it through his hair. "I'm sorry Zanna... I knew I shouldn't have."

"No, no Demetri, thank you. I was curious, but you still answered my question, and I appreciate that."

His face lit up. "Really?" He asked, smiling. I smiled back. "Yes of course."

We spent the rest of the day talking and he showed me around the castle. It was becoming night and I traveled back to my room, alone. Aro had requested Demetri's presence in the throne room. We said our good nights, even though he didn't sleep.

As I returned to my room, I dressed in a pair of comfortable pjs, brushed my teeth, and combed through my hair. After finishing my routine, I glided onto the balcony.

The stars and moon shone exceptionally bright tonight. I smiled lightly and yawned. 'I should probably go to bed.' I thought.
'Just a little.... Longer.' I yawned once more and sat down, looking up at the sky.

I missed home, yes, but I would return soon. "Good night, mother." I whispered.
