Countess Amelia of Transylvania

A Wedding (sorry please read next chapter first)

There are moments since I have been here in Romania that I can feel something happening good or bad.  I always wonder if it is occurring back in Forks.  Is something bad happening to them?  Is there joy in their lives?  My heart always has missed them, that has not changed.  But I couldn't go back.  I was a monster, they would be terrified of me.  I would not ruin their lives because of what I was.  It was better for me to be here, protecting my people, protecting the world from the evil out there.  And it seemed to always start here, where I was Queen.  I kept in constant contact with The Volturi.  The vampire world might have seen them as "royalty and the ultimate authority," but in reality all vampires answered to me, they were no exemption.  If anything, they got more of the wrath of The Queen then anyone else had.

I suddenly hear a knock at the door...

"My Queen...may I come in?"

"Of course Blade."  She bows.

"Blade, how many times do I have to tell you dear friend, you do not have to bow to me."

"I know Amelia, it is just habit."

"Is everything alright?"

"Yes and No."

"Ok, give me the good news first.."

"Remember, when the Volturi came to us telling about the human who was in love with the vampire in America?  Well, they ended up getting married, they called to let us know."

"That is excellent news, we will send them a gift and congratulations on their wedding and her newborn status."

"Well, you see that is the bad news, I am afraid, I have to deliver to you.  You see, they ended up getting married, but she is not a new born...she has not been changed."

"WHAT? "  I was shouting at this point and was so irriated I could scream.

I hated to think the Volturi had reason to be concerned.  This could mean our kind could be exposed.  

"They are supposed to keep us updated if anything happens further."

"Yes, Blade once you hear, please let me know."

As Blade left, I could not help but wonder if that episode I had earlier and this mess were somehow intwined together.  I really hope not.

I felt a pair of arms engulf around me, I knew exactly who they belonged to.  Shadow was an amazing man.  I did have feelings for him, but not like I did for HIM.  I still got butterflies when I thought of Brent, my heart always sped up thinking of how happy we were before I was taken.  

"My darling, I heard what is happening, are you alright?"

"I think so, I just cant shake the feeling of this having to do with my family."

"But how?"

"I am not sure, I really hope I am wrong."

I turn around and meet his lips with mine.  

"Have you given more thought to us Amelia?"

"Shadow...."

"I know we have not imprinted on one another, but you and I both know it is rare and it may never happen to us...is it because of HIM?"  

I could tell Shadow was getting angry, his fists clenching together.  He hated the fact I could not fully commit myself to him, that is why I never went any further then kissing with him.

"Shadow I adore you, you know that.  But something is off.  Imprinting or not, it seems I am missing a part of myself and as for HIM, you know I still love him, but by now he has probably already fell for someone else, married and has kids."

"Then dont you think you should move on too?  I love you with all my being and nothing would complete me more than to officially call you mine."

As he moves closer to me, I wonder if he is right.  What am I waiting for?
