Her Majesty (Volturi Kings)

CHAPTER FIVE

I was locked in a room on the plane. I kept trying to knock the door down with my strength, but alas, the door was built to stand vampire strength. "Let me out!" I would scream, but it was to no avail. No one would come to my rescue. No one would even make a sound outside the door. I was currently dry sobbing with venom gathering in my eyes. I was hopeless. I was taken from my friends by the insane Volturi kings with no explanation. The only thing I had thought of was that they had gotten word of my gift, but surely there was no use of my gift for Aro had a similar gift?

The stinging in my heart hadn't subsided. It has gotten worse since this whole ordeal. I was desperate for help and my heart was desperate for someone to comfort me. Strangely enough, however, the pain in my heart had subsided when Marcus briefly held me. It only started again when I was taken out of his hold and had gotten worse in captivity. It was like he was the cure to this stinging for some strange reason. I first had thought that he had a gift that makes pain subside, but then I remembered what his gift was: bonds. So, a painkiller was ruled out immediately.

Still, I couldn't think of why the Volturi had taken me. Was it my gift or something else? It being my gift was my number one theory. Instead of Aro needing to always use his gift, he could just have me tell him. That has to be the reason, I convinced myself. Yet, there was a part deep down in me that knew that wasn't the reason.

Suddenly, I felt the plane come to life as it roars. Multiple people, as I had gathered from the amount of footsteps, were boarding the plane.

"Where is she?" I hear Caius ask.

He was searching for me. Unfortunately for him, I would make my escape right when that door opens. I will not allow myself to be the Volturi's slave.

"In that room, master." I hear a guard say.

Footsteps made their way towards the door and I heard a key jiggling as it was being positioned in front of the lock. The key was inserted into the lock and the door opens. I make my escape right away.

Caius spins around as I run past him in a scurry. "Get her!"

I was so close. Just that exit and I'm free, I reassure myself.

But my thoughts are cut short as I'm pinned to the plane's wall by a man's extreme strength. Felix.

I thrash around only for Felix to pull me forward only to push me back onto the wall, trying to get me to submit. I was stubborn, however.

"Alec!" Felix yells. "Paralyze her!"

My eyes widen and I shout out a no before I feel my body be rendered immobile. To the left, I could see three men in my peripheral vision walking in my direction with confidence. They reeked power.

"Good job, Felix and Alec." Aro praises.

"Thank you, master." Felix and Alec say simultaneously before backing away, standing behind the kings.

Aro and the other two rulers stand in front of me. "Tsk, tsk." Aro clicks his tongue, moving his index finger in a "no, no" movement. "A brave move, mia cara. But a stupid one nonetheless."

I glare and spit in his face. "I won't be your slave! I won't allow you to use my gift!" I glare at him. I was beyond angry. I was furious. How dare they take me from the only person I felt the most comfortable with.

Caius and Marcus look at each other and Aro tilts his head in confusion. "My dear," Aro says. "We would never put you in such a horrid position. We weren't even aware of you possessing a gift."

I look at him and use my gift. To my surprise, he was telling the truth.

"Y-you're telling the truth." I say.

Aro nods. "Of course, carissima. My brothers and I would never lie to you. It breaks our dead hearts to know that you don't trust us. We wish to earn your trust no matter how long it takes. We have eternity after all." He then raises an eyebrow. "What is your gift?"

I scoff. "Why don't you use your invasive gift if you so wish to know. I'm not telling you voluntarily."

Caius growls and stomps his foot. "You will take care to listen and obey your mates!" he hisses.

Marcus lays a hand on Caius' arm. "Peace, brother."

"You will take care to listen and obey your mates," my mind replays as I am confused. How could I be mated to them? Not only mated to one, but to three. I thought they were lying, but my gift told me otherwise. Curse my gift.

"W-what do you mean 'your mates?'" I shakily say.

Aro clasps his hands together as he explains. He explained that the pulls and stings I have been feeling were the effect of the mating bond, it being worse due to the fact of there being three mates instead of one. Of my time as a vampire, I never knew the effects of the mating bond. I was never taught, I only experienced mates finding each other, never actually seeing the effects.

"Marcus can prove it, dear one." Aro says. "He can see the bonds between people."

"The lines that tie you, Caius, Aro, and I are golden. The mate color." says Marcus.

I slowly nod my head. "I know you speak truth, even if I don't want to believe it."

Aro smiles. "I'm glad you already trust us, mia cara. That is a splendid gift you could bestow upon us: your trust."

I shake my head. "No." his smile falters. "I know you're telling the truth only because of my gift. I can tell if a person is speaking true or not. I have the gift of judgment. But even though we are mates, I will never accept you. You took me from my friends. From the only friend I've known since I was turned. I will never forgive nor accept you."

My so-called mates look pained and I felt pain in my heart.

Caius glares at me after composing his emotions. "We shall see."
