|Chapter 31|The Change|

I woke up to a cold bed, half expecting to turn around and be met with Aro's body but I wasn't. Of course, we were still arguing it's been a week. I dragged myself out of bed and into the sitting room where Dora was talking to Corin. At that moment, Caius waltzed in from Dora's bedroom, kissed her head and continued towards the exit.

"Caius" I called causing him to turn "will you... will you tell him that I want to see him?" I asked hesitantly.

He nodded and left.

That evening there was a knock on my bedroom door.

"Come in" I called.

Aro walking in and closed the door behind him. I straightened up and gestured for him to sit by me on the bed.

"Look Aro, this is ridiculous, it's been a week, I'm sorry for being up things I shouldn't and I know it was wrong but you dumped me here without even telling me, we were went to compromise remember? Be equals? You just made the decision for me even though you knew I didn't agree with it" I explained why I was angry.

"I know dear, I knew you wouldn't move here to I thought that if I didn't give you a choice you'd just accept it after a while, Athena did.." he rubbed that back of his neck awkwardly.

"I'm not Dora, you can't base our relationship off Caius' and Dora's they've been together for over two thousand years" I sighed

"I know, I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that or got mad at you, I miss you Darling" Aro confessed as he turned to Face me.

"I missed you too" I admitted and hugged him.

He wrapped his arms around my form and rested his chin on top of my head. "We'll sort this out normally now I promise, I just want you safe"

"But Aro How is having us in the tower keeping us safe? The whole vampire world know that you keep your wife's locked up in this tower so if someone wanted to they could easily attack us." I explained

Aro thought about it "true, I just feel safer when I know where you are" he confessed.

"What if myself and Dora trained like the guards? We'd know how to protect ourselves better and we wouldn't be in that much danger." I compromised.

"You won't need training, darling I'll talk to Caius later okay?" He asked as he pecked my lips, lying down with me.

I nodded happily, at least there's a small chance both Dora and I will got out of here.

The next day both Aro and Caius came in while Dora and I were talking about periods for some reasons. Aro sat down next to me in the couch while Caius sat on the arm of Dora's armchair.

"We've decided that the tower will no longer be necessary" Caius announce as he picked Dora up bridal style and sped out with her to his Chambers no doubt.

It seems like Caius did talk to Dora. I smiled delighted and hugged Aro. "Thank you"

"There's a condition" Aro said

"What is it?" I asked ready to do just about anything

"You must go through the change to become a full vampire" he said annoyed.

"But I'm already half" I protested.

"Yes and it makes you weak, you must go through the change" he repeated.

"Okay fine" I sighed "when?"

"Right now once we get to my chambers if you wish" aro offered and I had the feeling that he wanted to get this over and done with as soon as possible so I just silently nodded

Aro walked over to me and hugged my small form, I hugged him back tightly.

"You're going to be okay darling, I'll make sure of it" he whispered.

I don't know why or when exactly but I broke down in sobs, I didn't know why I was cry but I was, was it for my family? Was it for Aro, the rest of the Volturi? For myself? I didn't know. It what I did know was that Aro was here, for me. He always was but I was too blind to see it. No matter how hard I try I can't imagine my life without him.

Aro kept whispering things along the lines of, "I'm here baby girl" "you're safe" "nothing bad will happen" "we'll fight this together" "I love you" it was heart warming and I quickly calmed down. We sat in silence, warmed around each other, enjoying the feeling, dreading what's to come.

"Aro?" I asked in a small voice

"Yes my dear?"

"Hybrids... can they even be changed to vampires?" I asked confused

"Well we haven't seen it happening before but we're pretty certain they can, you'll be okay, I promise, we've done all the research we could, don't worry about a thing darling" he answered as he kissed the top of my head.

I smiled to myself "it's okay, I trust you" I said and cuddled closer.

"I'm glad" came his short reply as he picked me up and put me over his shoulder and carrying me down the stairs from the tower as I giggled.

Suddenly forgetting all my worried I smiling evilly as I smacked his backside. I heard a low hiss from his and soon enough I was treated with a sharp slap on mine

"Owe that hurt" I complained

"It was ment to baby girl" Are said making me go red.

"But I didn't do it that hard to you" I whined

"And I can smell your arousal from a mile darling" I went even more red while he only chuckled, no doubt smelling the heavier scent of my blood as it rushed to the surface of my cheeks in embarrassment.

When we got to his Chambers I was suddenly nervous... when Aro just be back down so I stood by the support of my two legs I leaned up and kissed him. There wasn't any, snakes or fireworks, passion and sweetness. It was perfect, as if it meant the world, it was true genuine feelings, nothing more, nothing less. Nothing could compare but it somehow felt like a goodbye, like this was the last time I'd kick him. Not thinking much of it I continued to kiss him.

When Aro pulled away, he send me one of his overly big smiles that I love and moves us to the bed and leaning over me, "Are you ready to do this my sweet?" He asked serious now.

I nodded, feeling nervous and I got comfortable on the bed, gazing up at him in fear.

"I love you darling" he confessed and it was as if all my fears we wept away.

I wasn't afraid anymore, Aro is doing this, he always goes everything perfectly and with success.

"I love you too Aro" I answered smiling

"I'm so sorry" was the last thing I heard before he leaned down to bite my neck and the pain took over my senses.
