Crimson eyes (Caius volturi x Bella's sister-Twilight)

(14) The blood on my hands {Caius pov}

"Sir the plane has landed safely." The voice of one of Marcus's Guards tell me over the phone
"Good.. update me if anything happens." I order
" yes lord Caius." He responds
And with that I hung up..
I hate modern technology with a burning passion.

" worried are we Caius?" Aro asks in a mocking tone not looking up from the book he's reading
"No of course not." I reply
he's a fool for thinking if I do, me care for a human-
Right! No use causing myself pain.
" yes that's why you tried to send almost the entire guard to watch her?" He said with a light laugh at the end, still reading his book
"I did not!" I argue

" well you almost did.." Marcus whispers to himself as he fills out paperwork
" what was that?" I question
" nothing" he mutters
" well brother he's not wrong now is he, I mean you tried to send Jane, Alec, Felix, and Dimitri." Aro ads on finally looking up from his book and raising an eyebrow

"I... these are false accusations!" I protest, in slight embarrassment, at the truth in their statements
" please don't even try to argue we're lucky we got you to agree on Afton!" Aro argues at my week protests
" you do have to admit Caius he's perfect for the job is gift of invisibility will make it so much easier to keep tabs on her." Marcus says, putting his quill down and looking at me
" it's more safety I care about.." I mutter under my breath

" Dear Caius, you have to remember she has the Cullens and that pack of mutts to watch over her" Aro testifies on their behalf going back to his book
"Like those damn mutts can protect her..." I growl
" careful now you have to remember those damn mutts are her friends." Aro reminds me
" now off with the both of you. I want my peace and quiet." Aro orders waving us away with his hand
Both Marcus and myself bow and leave the room

" if you would like we can talk in my room about what's troubling you ... you forget I can practically see your worries." He says softly
WHAT IS IT WITH HIM AND BEING ALL FEELINGS THESE DAYS!!
Especially with me..I hate talking about feelings!
"Fine."
And with that we quickly leave to the quiet of Marcus' room, but sometimes silence is defining.

"Well what do you want.." I grumble, growing impatient
"Just tell me what's troubling you... I only want to help." He says calmly,
He sits down in one of his longe chairs and I sit in the one across from him.
"I have on idea about what you're talking about." I say in distaste for this kind of conversation
"Yes you do." He says softly, opening up a random book from his side table

"Perché devi essere così persistente." (Why must you be so persistent) I growl
"Perché mi interessa." (Because I'm interested) he answers
"Fine!" I began
He close's his book and looks me in the eye.

Only Aro and Marcus, look me directly in the eye when speaking to me, everyone else is to scared to even try... though I will never fully admit Marcus does have a calmness around him, a truthful barrier, and he is my advisor when it comes the feelings I have to try and resurrect.

"Worry is the wrong word..." I say trying to explain
"Fear?" He suggests
"No!" I snap
"Well then don't put a word to it." He reply's
"Fine... Carlisle and his lot don't exactly agree with us.." I explain
"Yes what of it?" He questions
"What if they tells her some outlandish story!" I argued,

It was silent for a moment
"I see... you're worried that she'll learn of your actions though someone other than yourself?" He answered the question I didn't ask
"I'm not worried! I-....." I stop mid compliant
I feel a hard tug on my dead heart
What is happening?!
What did I say!?
I quickly look at Marcus and he's staring at me like he saw a ghost, as I feel the tug once more harder this time...
I place my hand over my chest as I feel a tightness that soon releases and then nothing...

" what did I say this time!" I hissed
" you didn't say anything..." he trailed off
"What do you mean-" I come to the realization of what he means mid sentence,
"That little!-" I hiss
" Caius! That's enough." Marcus demands
" if anything it hurt her more than it hurt you." He says with a slightly raised tone
Was he being... protective?

"Do you think Carlisle said something.." I growl with distaste for the name
"Who knows." He whispers
"I hope you know, she was bound to find out." Aro's voice rings from the door way
"I mean.. come on, the blood on your hands could fill a river." Aro joked

'No.. the blood on my hands could fill the ocean.. but close enough.' I think to my self with a light smirk
"But that's not something you're ashamed of, is it?" Aro teases
"Of course not! My name is feared! And some messy little human who made friend with the wrong people isn't going to change anything!" I shouted,

"And I am sick and tired of you all thinking it will!!
I am a king!! And you will treat me with the respect I deserve!! I have worked hard to get here! So do not! Believe that I have gone soft." I argued
"There you are. I thought we had lost you for a moment." Aro
"..if you don't mind I will excuse myself." I announced
"Oh yes of course." Aro says with a nod
"Well alright." Marcus said opening his book

I leave Marcus' room and head directly to my studio to blow off some steam.
A few moments later, I enter the familiar room
The careful craftsmanship of the walls and ceiling, the almost finished Portrait in the corner of the room quietly calling to me..

I walk over to it and run my finger alone the edge of the canvas... taking in the little details... Willow looking at the portrait now after meeting her I can see what parts I need to change and which ones I know I got right..
The idea of destroying it was tempting, but my judgement got the better of me,

I pick up my pallet and open my brush set,
I pause for a moment closing my eyes and thinking back to when I had her close...
Her eyes, her smell, her lips, her presence...
But still.. it hurts me to know that probably at this very moment she sees me as a monster.

I open my eyes and start picking the correct colour's this time I'll get her eyes right...
