Hannah's POV

Aro is growing weaker by the day, I feel conflicted. Abigail should be here, but I know her focus is on more important things. Petra keeps watch over little Diana and Aro keeps to his room. He conducts all business in there and when he cannot the doors are always closed. Unable to keep silent any longer I decide to break a rule and go into his room. Once at the doors, I can hear Aro coughing, it wasn't a soft cough either. It would loud and violent only one disease came to my mind as I pushed the doors open. I had all my shots, so I needed not to worry about getting what he had.

Aro was in his bed, laying back and cloth in hand. Said cloth has blood upon it. I knew the disease, but I think he knew more than even I knew. Sitting up and looking my way Aro sighed.

"There is nothing to be done, I declined much faster than I thought I would." Aro says as he tries to take a small drink of water.

"Your daughter will not see you when she grows, I may have a way to give her a memory or two of you she can always look back to." I tell him and Aro nods as I walk up and give him a shot.

"What was that?" he questions as he looks shocked.

"It will give you strength, you need to tell Diana how you met her mother, your wedding and the day she was born. I can record them as what I showed you with Abigail before. A hologram of you will appear and tell her these stories, I am afraid this is all I can do to help you." I confess.

Aro nods and as the medicine takes affect he stands and looks at me, giving me quick nod letting me know that he was ready. Pressing the button on my watch he began his story to an older version of his daughter, one he would never meet.

"My dearest Diana do not be sad my child, I am going to share three stories with you that you can always look back upon. Though I may not be with you in body, I shall always be with you in spirit and in your heart. I met your mother when she was here in my time on a mission, I was given a task by my own brother to keep her safe. Little did I know the moment I would see her, I would fall deeply in love with her." Aro grins as he continues to tell his story.

He tells the first story and we take a small break, the second story made me dislike his father which no doubt meant that Diana would hate her grandfather in the future. He spoke of how brave Abigail was and that she was willing to do anything for the ones she held close to her heart, including freeing his brother Hermes. At the end of the last recording he smiled again and gave Diana one last message.

"Remember my dear, I love you and your mother with all of my heart. Even if another does raise you in my place, do not be angry with them. Love them and your mother just as much as I love you. Until we meet again Diana." Aro says weakly as he blows a kiss to Diana.

I shut the recording off and Aro fell into bed. I helped him get comfortable. Soon he was fast asleep, and I sent the file to Fred to be separated and in waiting for Diana when she was older. This was one of the hardest missions I had and yet I could find it in my heart to betray Aro's trust and tell Abigail of her dying husband.

Abigail's POV

This was it. The day to expose the witch for what she truly was. The others had gone, and I knew what was happening long before Abigail did. Dressing in the outfit I wore in the woods, to convince that hunter I was the witch. I made my way to the center of the town. There stood Angelica all high and mighty and there in the gallows was my other white witch friend, the doctor looking right at me.

"Witch!" I scream at the top of my lung and that gets everyone attention.

Last night things were much different...
