Naomi stood besides Jayson, looking on in complete horror at the state of her room. It was trashed.
The curtains held large gashes in pairs of threes shredding through them, the large TC she had upon her wall was tilting off, hanging on by a thread, the couch she had wasn't even on the same side of the room, it lay upside down without it's cushions near her bathroom door. Her Nicki Minaj tapestry was split in half, a gash going through the rappers face.
The large Hatsune Miku figurine she'd spent so much on was destroyed, teeth marks and clawed lines prominent on the once smooth surface of her prized possession.
Her eyes watered and she pushed her palms into her eyes, it wasn't getting better.
She took a shaky breath, chest tight with emotion as she stood there allowing tears to spill from her eyes, a knock at the door made her physic's recoil.
"My queen," Demetris voice called and Naomi looked around in terror. "Don't come in, what's wrong?" She asked after she was sure her voice wouldn't come out shaky.
The guard outside frowned but responded easily "Master Caius request your presence, please make your way there soon." And he was gone allowing Naomi to silently run around her room like a headless chicken, she grasped the curtains with her hand and they melted away into a pile of ash, she continued this— destroying her things so no one would see them in the state they were currently in.
She couldn't let people see this, she needed to be a pillar like Aro, Caius, Marcus. She was the queen of the Volturi and her weakness killed her brother, she needed to be strong.
She quickly fixed the couch and adjusted the thankfully unbroken TV, hurriedly changing into a new pair of clothes she was out of the room, satisfied with her work and appearance.
When Chelsea went to clean her room though, she'd be very surprised to see the large claw marks marring the wall where a shrek tapestry was supposed to be.
—
Naomi held in a laugh, stubbornly holding eye contact with Caius who was scowling down at her, a hole in his silky red dress shirt revealing his chest.
He opened his mouth to speak and Naomi, acting before she could think of the consequences— she flicked his nipple.
The blonde king flinched, jolting back in surprise with furrowed eyebrows.
Naomi snorted loudly, hand covering her mouth as her shoulders shook with silent laughter. "Sorry I love you bye!" She blurted and bolted off, loud peals of laughter following her.
Caius sighed tiredly and ran a hand over his face, he'd deal with her after court. Right now he had a meeting with his brothers and was currently regretting his choice in allowing Naomi to stay in the room while he got ready.
—With the kings—
Aro grazed his hand over his blonde brothers, an amused smile spreading across his face at his brothers predicament, he turned to whisper what happened to Marcus who had a brow raised in confusion.
"Shut up!" Caius snapped, sitting in his chair with a scowl. Aro simply continued smiling and winked at the longer haired vampire, a silent 'tell you later' passing between them.
"Ah, Khalil! Just on time, have a seat," Aro beamed at the dark skinned vampire who entered and smiled before lowering into a seat across from the kings.
The atmosphere in the room abruptly switched, the four vampires immediately getting serious as the topic of discussion silently hung in the air like a suffocating pressure.
"Khalil, why don't you begin," Aro said softly, his voice a soft whisper in the quiet room, Khalil knew if he was human he'd probably never of heard it.
He closed his eyes for a second, fiddling his thumbs together atop the smooth tabletop "Jayson he, something's not right with him," he started and at Caius's annoyed scoff he sighed "He's angry, so angry and he's been acting irrationally. Every time I point it out while it happening or try and comfort him, he pushes me away..—"
To say Khalil was hurt was an understatement, he didn't know why Jayson wouldn't talk to him, confide in him. It hurt being pushed away.
"Naomi is better at hiding these feelings it seems," Marcus spoke softly, the quiet king leaning forward in his seat slightly, he's seen it. The connections between hit little swan and her best friends, the relationship is strained, darker on Jayson and Naomi's end.
"Not hiding well enough," Caius scoffed, "This has something to do with that— wolf. Doesn't it?" He asked his brother who could only sigh, just as lost as the blonde beside him.
"Chelsea came to me after cleaning, she says Naomi had claw marks tearing up the wall.." Aro hummed, the frustrated feeling growing within him once more.
"Jayson had those too, in his room- well bathroom but still! I went to wash up and the shower curtain was torn. He tried to stop me from going in but I saw it nonetheless." Khalil spoke quickly, nervous to be in such close proximity with the three kings, and even more so nervous to figure out what was wrong with his mate.
The four continued speaking— concern for their mates present the entire time. Unknowing of the two topics of discussion in another room panicking.
___________
Jayson grasped Naomi's shoulder with wide and frantic eyes, turning to look at her then the wall in fear.
"You mean..they cleaned your room." He spoke slowly, trying to process the information himself.
"Fucking yes, J! My room got fucking cleaned with a gigantic ass fucking claw mark on the wall and now the kings are going to find out which means Khalil is going to find out and me and you are going to have to tell them what the fuck is wrong with us because we're becoming a danger to our environment which will probably eventually lead to us putting everyone else in danger because we're stubborn fucks?!"
She rambled, taking quick and unnecessary breaths.
Jayson sighed and plopped backwards onto the bed, his hands over his face.
He looked at Naomi with a sad expression, tears polling into his eyes, blurring his vision as he held his arms open for Naomi who looked just as troubled as him.
She clambered onto the bed and lay practically on top of him, his arms wrapping around her in a way that only he could comfort her.
"We have to tell them..don't we?" He asked softly and Naomi nodded after a moment.
They did, they had to tell them before they became a problem to their loved ones.
But for now, they'd stay laying in each others arms, the comfort of a sibling preparing them for a very long and dreaded discussion.
A/N:
So y'all, I was thinkin and I might have an idea for the next chapter, I promise it'll be out sometime within the next four days, I'm not trying to disappear again!
