Infinity ~ Twilight

Chapter 29

The heels on Aro's polished shoes echoed through the corridor with each step he took. He stopped at the doors. He turned to the left and opened the door. The door swung open softly. His crimson eyes scanned for anything out of place, or something not done correctly. The walls were painted soft lavender. The large crystal chandelier hanging from the middle of the room. A white vanity with beautiful, handcrafted cravings sat against the wall. The canopy bed had violet purple drapes pulled back showing the matching-colored comforter laid nicely across the bed. A large desk sat in the far-right corner of the room with a large window overlooking the town behind it. The curtains were purple and was long enough to touch the floor.

To say, Aro was very pleased with this room. He knew that the final touch ups were going to be left to his daughters. With a swift turn, Aro exited the room closing the door softly behind him. He went to the other door and opened it. The room was painted a sky blue. A similar Crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. Not much was different from the room across this one. Only difference was that stuff was blue instead on purple. Aro deemed that the rooms were ready, and it was time to fulfill plan B.

I watched as a squirrel ran across the yard. The wind blew the leaves around. It looked normal outside, like it was just a regular day. I shivered a bit when a cold chill ran through me. The noise of metal clapping together had me jumping, and my attention turning towards it. I narrowed my eyes at the sight of the ladder on the ground. I heard nervous laughing. I looked up and saw Naya.

"What the hell Naya?" I asked Naya who was leaned against the bark of the tree in the front yard. 

"You know how we always wanted to climb this thing when we visited Uncle Charlie in the summer when we were kids?" Naya asked looking down at me. I raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I remember." I told her staring in confusion.

"Well, I climbed this tree." She stated the obvious with an innocent smile. That was a stupid choice. The tree was very old. "See already up here." 

I watched her in worry. "No shit." I responded rolling my eyes. As if it wasn't obvious enough. "Alright you accomplished climbing the tree. Now please get down."

"The ladder fell dipshit!" Naya gestured down at the fallen ladder. I shook my head and walked over to the long orange ladder. I picked it up and propped it against the tree again.

"What the hell are you doing up there?" Uncle Charlie questions. I turned my head and saw that he was coming back from the neighbor's house.

"Just checking off my to-do list." Naya says throwing her hands up obviously annoyed now. "Why are y'all tripping?"

"Well to-do your checklist ass back down from that tree." I ordered crossing my arms. I heard Naya mumbling as she threw her leg over the branch and lowered herself down slowly. "Be careful."

"Let me concentrate!" She yells back. Her foot hits the top of the ladder and from there she climbs down. Once her feet hit the ground, I slapped the back of her head.
"Ow!"

"That's for getting stuck up there." I told her walking away.

"Whatever." She mumbles. Uncle Charlie waits for us at the front door with his arms crossed and a raised eyebrow.

"I would ask questions about your decision to climb the tree but with you I would get answers that I would somewhat understand." Uncle Charlie said staring at Naya who raised her eyebrow. "Anyway, you girls are coming with me."

"Where?"

"Is there food involved?" 

I looked at Naya and wondered how she can eat so much yet stay so fit. She doesn't exercise for shit. She was a puzzle that I was going to leave alone. Cause I would probably never solve it. "To Billy's." Uncle Charlie spoke. Naya made some noise in the back of her throat.

"No thank you, I have an important book to read." Naya says heading into the house. I watch her slam the front door behind her. I jumped at the sound. Uncle Charlie looked at me like he was wanting an explanation for the slam door. I gave him a shrug.

"Books are very important." I tell him with an awkward smile. He gave me a deadpan look.

"Naya reading a book?" He said it like it was the oddest thing he's heard. I mean even I knew it was a lie. Naya never read a book in her life willingly outside of school.

"It's important." I still covered the lie. Uncle Charlie wasn't stupid though.

"We still talking about the same Naya here?"

"Maybe." I spoke slowly.

"Even I know that's a lie, Natalie. Naya doesn't read books." The kitchen window suddenly slides up. My head turned, Naya stuck her head out, she gave Uncle Charlie a mean look.

"For your information, I do read thank you very much!" You could hear just how offended she truly was. I bite my bottom lip, but a giggle escaped. Naya pointed at us. "I read a lot! I read tons of books. Only the ones with pictures though!"

"Naya," I called her with an amused smile growing on my lips. "You never read, even when the books have pictures. You look at the pictures."

A mean glare was directed at me. "Screw you!" She shuts the window after that. I shook my head. She knew she didn't read.
