Well, my mates had lied to me for the first time. I was officially bored.

There was absolutely nothing to do around the castle. It was the weekend and there had been no new trials for me to try and test out my new gift. Most of the guards had been sent out on missions to build relations throughout the world, including my most trusted ally and friend Demetri. It was a crying shame that my mates hadn't allowed anyone here to stay back and keep me entertained by playing video games with me. I would pester my mates about it later.

Hell, even Renata, Aro's friend and personal bodyguard, was gone out to protect the lower guard while they were out. The castle was truly huge and unbearably quiet. With my vampire senses I could tell just how quiet it was inside the castle. I could barely even hear the people inside, as they were on the other side of the castle.

Your chambers were built on May 2nd, 2006. Damn, my chambers had been built already? Did I even have to use them? Living in the same room as my mates was getting a bit cramped, but being with them was amazing. Must be the stupid newborn vampire bond and emotions. I feel like a mess. Why can't I just skip this damn stage of my life and just be a normal vampire? Damnit, I either feel like eating or having sex. Why do I want sex so bad? I've only kissed ⅔ of my mates! I shouldn't be lusting after them like some teenage fangirl! Wait, I am a teenager and I could very well be classified as a fangirl with how the bond affects me, so am I just a teenage fangirl? The questions I have to ask myself, I swear to fucking god.

Sex would be nice though.

I yelled at my head for being so damn dirty minded. At some point, Aro would be seeing these memories and thoughts. Shit, he'll hear this. Aro, I hope you're happy! Even if Marcus and Caius can't hear this, I hope you're happy as well! You all make me horny as hell! Why? Why do you do this to me? Your poor mate is dying. Fuck, I'm having a conversation with myself. Aro, sorry you have to hear this later, I'm just a mess right now.

The door slid open only to reveal just the person I was talking to inside my head, Aro Volturi. I smirked at him and giggled as he walked closer to me.

"What is so funny, il mio amore?" Aro questions, kissing my cheek happily. I shake my head and giggle some more. "What is going on inside that pretty little head of yours, cara mia?"

"Why don't you just check, Aro darling?" I tease. Aro laughs before his face turns serious once again. He looks a bit shocked. "Aro. . .Why do you do this to me?" I draw out the me part and Aro laughs.

"Annalise, are you perhaps giving me permission to use my gift on you?" He asks, expecting me to just say no and move on.

"I mean, I did see quite a bit of what goes on in your thoughts, Aro. It is only fair," I point out. Aro is about to protest my reasoning but I cut him off with a, "Yes, Aro, I am giving you permission. Shut up and hear what I told you before you came in. That is why I was giggling."

Aro comes closer and kisses me. Physical contact was all that he needed, so kissing me was a sly move on his part. If Aro were human, he would be blushing at your thoughts. Ok, so why did I need that information again?

"What information, il mio amore? I can not hear your gift while in your head," Aro asks, curling up on my lap.

"Believe me, it was. . . I don't need to hear about everything. I can read you like some cringy teenage vampire romance novel. Seriously, imagine if we were in one of those. I bet we would be villains, main characters usually hate laws," I theorize, Aro laughs as if he knows something that I don't. "You better not be saying-"

"We are not in a teenage romance novel, Annalise. Though, if we were, it would be awful for them to claim we are the villains. What did we do? Enforce the laws?" Aro asks playfully.

"I bet that the main characters broke some serious law or something. Maybe they didn't and they are trying to prove their innocence!" I theorize carefully. Aro laughs and kisses my head. I pin him to the bed and then fall down on his chest, snuggling into him. "You know what, a romance novel isn't the worst thing to be in, Aro."

"How would you know, Annalise?" Aro questions.

"I don't, Aro, I'm just saying!"

The next few days were filled with small annoyances. For one, Afton had come back. As much as he was funny, he was so damn annoying. He would constantly pester me about the kings. He would often ask me for a slip n' slide in the gardens for the guards. The guards seemed to like the idea, but just stayed quiet and pretended that they thought the man was the most annoying thing that had ever been turned into a vampire. Honestly, I couldn't blame them.

Unfortunately, my gift has been growing over the past few days. Now not only would I get knowledge on people, their emotions, and their pasts, I would also get the same information on objects that I would find myself staring at due to my boredom. Thankfully, the fact that I had learned so many new things about people and objects around the castle could be put to use in my now perfect memory.

Fortunately for everyone, Afton and Chelsea had come back together, meaning that they would be holed up in their rooms doing the dirty for the next few days. They would have been too busy on their missions to do anything nasty. Damnit, gift, why do you tell me things like this? I didn't want to know about my guard's sex life! Completely tmi!

I wonder what Aro and Caius are doing. Aro and Caius are currently in the throne room discussing what they are going to get you for your birthday.

Funny thing, my gift. I could sometimes just ask for bits of information and it would tell me. Maybe it was because I was focusing on what I needed to know. As much as my gift could be a nuisance, it also gave me much more power than I needed. In a way, I had much more control over my gift than Aro. He just saw everything no matter what he did. Yes, he could make sure he didn't pry when he touched people, but he couldn't just pick and choose what he saw and learned.

Marcus and I were currently in my new room. He had been hanging out with me a lot more lately. In a way, he had become much more clingy. I gripped his waist as I suddenly wanted to try and pick him up. I seemed to surprise him as he tried to squirm out of my grasp before sighing. He clearly had given up too fast.

I found that I was able to pick him up and even throw him over my shoulder like he was some sort of light thing like a feather. He had to be twice my size and my weight. The man was massive. I patted his head as I put him back on the bed.

"Why did you do that to me, tesoro?" Marcus whined to me.

"I don't know, I just wanted to see if it would work. I need to know my strength," I flung myself on him. "I don't think immortality cures ADHD."

"It is not some disease, tesoro, you cannot just cure ADHD. You clearly just do not think in the way most people do. Hyperactivity can actually be good in some cases. You seem to have the impulsivity, but you are not as unfocused as you used to be," Marcus tries to explain to me. I just groan and roll myself around on his chest, flipping my brown hair everywhere. Marcus laughs and stops me from rolling off the bed and causing me to form cracks on my face and legs.

"Nooo," I whined.

"Yessss," He whined back. We both started to laugh at each other's antics as Jane bursted into the room, Alec trying his hardest to stop his twin, failing miserably. I don't think that Jane even knew how to knock.

"Jane, are you unable to knock on my mate's door before you come running inside or has something so important happened that you must fail to use common manners taught to five year olds?" Marcus deadpans. Alec looks impressed by my mate's attitude. The girl usually got away with using bad manners and ordering people around.

"Sorry, master Marcus," Jane apologizes, ducking her head. "Aro and Caius wanted us to come and get you two. They say that it's urgent and to come quickly."

Well, what have my mates planned this time?

_________________________________________________________

"Aro, we cannot just allow them to get away with this!" Marcus exclaims. He had been pushed to the breaking point with those two and their childish antics. Not everything was going to be about them.

"Sulpicia and Athenodora couldn't have done something this stupid, Marcus, they know the laws," Caius tries to defend. I groan and roll myself all around on Marcus. I was getting so sick and tired of everything having to do with the two of them. Couldn't they just leave me alone? Would that be so hard? Like, are you that obsessed with my mates as to do something of this measure just to see them.

"A witness has provided evidence to say otherwise, Caius," Marcus defends his previous statement.

"Can't we just commit murder? I guess it's not murder since it's legal, but can't we just kill them? Please? I'll do whatever you want for a week," I plead, just wanting those two dead.Who knew ex wives would be such a pain in the ass? I just want them erased from existence.

"Cara mia, we cannot just go out there and kill them?" I groan and Marcus attempts to stop my rolling around. "We must get the whole truth."

"Aro, please? Baby please? I'll roll on you if you want. Just kill the whores," I insult. Marcus laughs and then glares at his soul brother.

"It is our mately duty to give our mate whatever she wants," Marcus whines.

"To an extent!!" Aro retorts. I just roll around, attempting to get comfortable on Marcus. "Il mio amore, would you stop rolling around on Marcus?"

"No," I pout. "Not until Sulpicia and Athenodora are gone. Zip, nothing but ash."

"I swear I will do it myself with her still on top of me if you two don't get your heads out of your asses," Marcus sneers, attempting to calm my movements. Nothing was comfortable. I was hungry and annoyed.

"Why are you rolling, cara mia?" Caius asked the a million dollar question. "Why do you make Marcus suffer so greatly?"

"Shut up, Caius," Marcus growls at Caius, who took a deep breath.

"I'm hungry," I whine. "My body feels so hungry. I need blood."

"Go fetch her something, Aro, lest she do this for the next week," Marcus orders his brother. Aro sighs and goes outside the throne room, leaving Marcus and Caius to watch over me. I wasn't trying to be difficult, I was just so damn hungry. Hungry Annalise equals rolling and pissy Annalise. "Tesoro, please stop rolling."

I whined and tried to stop, failing. My body's natural reaction to hunger was to roll and roll until I found food. Since I was immortal, I could not go and snatch something from the kitchens like I used to. No, I wanted to kill someone and drink all of their blood now that I was immortal.

"This is going to be a long day, isn't it?"
