A simple Wednesday morning. Who would have thought a simple Wednesday morning would change my whole life forever.

As I just finish adding the final touches to my makeup for the day, there is a knock at my door. "Come in" I mutter quietly knowing whoever is there will be able to hear. As I turn, I see one of my favourite vampires with a massive grin adorned to his face. "Demetri, oh how wonderful of you to grace me with your presence. What can I do for my brother today?" I ask with a smile that could match his on my face.

Insteadof answering straight away like usual, he opens my bedroom door further to indicate he would like me to follow. With a furrow of my brow, I shake my head and step out of my room. With a small click I turn back to him with a small smile. "Your father and uncles have asked for your presence in the throne room. The trails are starting a little earlier today." Demetri says as I loop my arm with his. Most people would frown upon this as he is my personal guard and I am royalty; however, ever since we met we have acted more of a brother and sister than anything else.

SilentlyI walk toward the throne room with the only sound audible to all is of my heels clicking on the stone floor. After many twists and turns, we finally reach the throne room doors. Instead of knocking, I push the doors open with a large smile on my face. Bowing my head in respect to the three Male figures in my life, I make my way to the right hand side of my fathers throne.

"Good morning my darling flower" I hear from my left. I bend down and kiss my fathers cheek "Good morning oh lovely father of mine. And Good morning to my spectacular uncles." I say the latter sentence slightly louder even though unnecessary so that my uncles can know I'm not ignoring them. Aro and Caius just turn to me and give me a small smile before facing the front of the room with their usual blank face and scowl.

After the designated trials, Gianna comes in after knocking thankfully, and announced we have a guest. Now, not many are willing to come to the Volturi Castle so this statement alone peaks everyone's interest. Aro signals for Gianna to let the guest in. I bow my head down playing with my thumbs as I didn't get to visit Didyme's grave this morning like I usually would.

As I hear the doors open, I get this odd tug in my chest. The force of this tug is enough to have me slouched slightly and gripping the right arm of my father's throne. My father turns abruptly to the presence of my hand on his throne and his usually stone face turns to confusion then understanding in mere seconds. He places a hand on my forearm and whispers so quietly only I could hear "Look up my dear. It will stop the pain if you look at the cause of the pull." Not one to disobey my father or king, I look up to see a very distressed and depressed looking vampire. Looking into his eyes, I can sense the immense amount of pain he is in due to some unknown bond we share. "What bond is it father?" I ask quietly so no one gets too suspicious but also mildly scared of the response.

"It is the true mate bond, Principessa"
