《Into The Unkown》Chapter 19

Olivia stood still as Demetri leaned in to kiss her. Hid lips brushed against hers and she closed her eyes as she kissed him back. Olivia could feel the sparks as Demetri kissed her. His one hand went to her waist pulling her closer while the other one went into her hair. Olivia puts her hands around his neck.
Demetri pulls away and leaned his head against hers. His eyes were no longer a bright red, but instead, it was darker. "I wanted to do that since I saw you months ago," Demetri says smiling down at Olivia who stared into his eyes. "I'm glad you did," Olivia says to Demetri who didn't take his eyes away from her.
Demetri was the first one to step back, but he took Olivia's hands in his. He led her towards the bed and they both sat against the headboard. They sat in silence just looking at one another. "When were you changed?" Olivia suddenly asks breaking the silence.
"Was reborn as a vampire somewhere in 1000AD. My creator is Amun, the Egyptian coven leader," Demetri says as he lifted his hand to move a piece of Olivia's hair away from her face. "You're old," Olivia says smiling at Demetri who smiles at her. "I know," Demetri whispered and leaned down to peck her on the lips.
"How did you get here in Volterra?" Olivia asks when Demetri pulls away. "Master Aro and his brothers came to Egypt one day, having heard of a tracker in the area. They wanted to see if it was true. They found me with Amun. They tested my tracking powers for weeks on end, to see if I was good or not. When I passed their test they offered me a position in their guard. I accepted," Demetri says and Olivia nods.

They sat there for hours getting to know one another. The human receptionist at one point brought Olivia food before she left again. Before Olivia knew it, she was fast asleep curled up next to Demetri, who was afraid to move as he didn't want to wake her up.
+Next day+
Olivia woke up the next morning and saw that Demetri was not in the room. On the table next to the bed was a piece of paper.
'Liv
As soon as you wake up, get dressed and eat your breakfast that the human left. After that, Jane will come to get you so you can meet the wives
Love, Demetri'
Olivia smiled and did as he said. She dressed then ate. And as soon as she finished heating a knock came to the door. She stood up and straightened out her dress.
Olivia opened the door and saw Jane. "Come on, Master Aro said that I should take you to the wives while we have a few visitors," Jane says and Olivia nods.
Jane led Olivia to a tower. When Jane knocked a soft voice answered that they may enter. "Mistress Sulpicia, Mistress Athenodora," Jane greeted bowing her head at the two women who sat on chairs at the other side of the room. "Jane," The two women smiled at Jane. One of them locked eyes with Olivia.
"This must be Olivia," She says smiling at Olivia. Olivia smiled and nods. "I am," Olivia says still smiling at the two women. "Master Aro asked me to introduce her to you while we have a few guests downstairs," Jane says and the two women nods. "Come on in dear," One of them says and Olivia enters.
Jane left Olivia with Sulpicia and Athenodora.
Olivia spent the whole day getting to know Sulpicia and Athenodora. They told Olivia that there was another wife, Marcus' wife, Didyme, she was also Aro's sister but Aro killed her to prove Marcus' loyalty to the coven. That explained to Olivia why Marcus looks sad.
Demetri came to get Olivia later that night after his guard shift ended and the two of them spent it in his room either talking and maybe some kissing.

8 91A Will to Recognize
What do you think it takes to live? Is it strength? Power? Magic? Unparalleled intelligence? Or are they all mere accessories to the fact that life is irrelevant? Do you have what it takes to bear the burden of life? Does life even matter? I don't know, and to be frank, I am somehow alive; I was even able to function in society at one point. It frightens me to think no one else knows our purpose: not our parents, friends, or mentors. And I can't bring myself to surrender to any religion. But I do have a direction. A goal, one might say. My wish is to one day shout on top of the highest mountains, "Life doesn't frighten me!" But that won't happen. Because I died a long time ago. ... You're still here? That? Oh it was all in the script. You didn't think I'd actually say that cringey stuff, did you? ~Daniel

“You get 10 million coins, but a magic immortal snail will spawn within 10 kilometers of you. It is as fast as a regular snail, but it will always be chasing you. If it touches you - you die. Do you take the deal?” This obscure message is the first thing you see along with a gun near your head. What will you do if you don't even know where or who you are? Problem...Yeah... I would even call it 'The immortal snail problem'. Improvisational writing. I will try to make small irregular updates. There may be polls. Enjoy.
