FORTY-FOUR

It's been half an hour already. It's a very fast time for a vampire. Too bad it's slowed down somehow since I've been brooding in this park, still wondering how bad my future will be if my dad doesn't forgive me, or maybe not even want to see me anymore.

Meanwhile Aro's voice kept interrupting my musings, saying him just need took time. Did he mean it was time for my dad to really leave me or something?

There's no point in stopping a whole bunch of bad thoughts from coming out of my head because it won't work. My head has a logical reason that underlies the birth of these negative thoughts.

Now I seem to be the worst daughter a parent could ask for.

Aro's chattering voice didn't stop until I felt like cursing him, if I could. "Aro can you stop talking with your dumb words? That's even not help," I almost snapped at him.

He didn't look sad or put on a hurt face like he used to do after I snapped, well he knew clearly I was really going through the biggest complication of my life. "Cara Mia you just need to calm down a bit, Charlie won't be that bad, he just needs time to understand..." he coaxed me back.

Didn't he realize that he also needed to be quiet so as not to make it more complicated.

"Something about your bond with your father just changed," Marcus mumbled, I detached myself from Aro and drew closer to Marcus.

Honestly, he knows the best way to help me, by remaining silent.

"Did it just crumble? My dad really left me? He doesn't want to see me?" I asked frantically.

He shook his head and pulled me into his lap. "It's not something bad, but it's more than something good." His ambiguous statement made me confused.

The feeling of nervousness and panic disappeared to be replaced by a question mark. "The point is it's not bad is it? Then how is the bond? Has it gotten any lighter?" I asked again my face must look like a fool, I know but still the reason is worth my stupid expression.

He gave a small smile, "He really loves you and Bella. It might be hard to act normal after a truth is revealed, but he seems to have accepted it well. " he said.

A smile spreads across my face, before it fades back again. "Caius didn't interfere in all this did he?" I asked.

Caius left a while ago along with the guards as well as Wendy and Clara. Honestly, I just don't understand how Wendy can just leave me without a sinful face.

"No, he really didn't interfere this time." He said, I breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against him. Wrapping my arms around his neck which is as cold as mine.

But I remembered something, the power of Chelsea and Corin. It might be Aro asking them to manipulate my father's feelings or even my inner bond with my father.

"Aro you don't-"

"-Absolutely not, I knew you would kill me if I did that." He cut me off before I could finish.

I still give him a suspicious look, he looks resigned to it. Obviously he should be suspected, after all he was always doing things arbitrarily. And how stupid I was to still love him.

Even if it's all because of the attraction of that unreal sounding bond.

The sound of a door slamming caught my attention. It was Caius, he came with an annoyed and angry face. But honestly almost every time her face looks like that, only this time more than usual.

Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing major complications.

"That damn Romanian vampire is again trying to bring us down using nonsensical things." Caius grumbled, I blatantly rolled my eyes. What did he expect from them after what had happened in all these thousands of years?
