Forever His

Previously;

Aro covered his eyes while Caius rolled his eyes and merely said in a bored tone,

"Get a room already"

Marcus turned around and with a roguish grin on his face said, "With pleasure" and took off with Didyme leaving his siblings behind, shocked at his behaviour.

Epilogue;

Caius couldn't quite believe the things that had happened since her return. While the Volturi was still seen as a blood-thirsty, power hungry, crazed cult of vampires, he could not deny that since she had returned that this reputation had slipped… just a little.

After Didyme had returned, and she and Marcus had finished their catching up, things had seemed to settle into a relative peace between the three brothers and their wives; reminiscent of before the incident of her supposed murder. But alas, things are not always perfect for anyone and they would have been living in a fantasy world if Marcus and Didyme could have just forgiven and forgotten so easily.

About two months after their return, the Volturi had been preparing to announce Didyme's return to the Vampire World and were planning to do so on one of the most important dates for them; the day that those Cullens had rudely interrupted and tried to sabotage by exposing them. But pent up feelings and issues had started emerging as Marcus and Didyme started to immerse themselves more in the dealings.

There was frequent fighting, uncomfortable silences and tense meal times. Despite Didyme's attempts the Volturi maintained its diet, bar Marcus of course. One of these fights had escalated into a few walls having to be put back in, furniture decimated and a few more guards had needed to be replaced, as well as this; it ended with Didyme and Marcus leaving for an overwhelming amount of time.

This meant that the vampire world remained oblivious to Didyme's return, none outside the selected few of the guard and the brothers knew that she was still alive. Didyme and Marcus travelled in the same way she had for many a century while believed to be dead. The Volturi refused to speak to those outside their guard, not wanting the world to know of their missing third brother.

The couple were happy though, blissful even. Reunited once more and this time, without the threat of the vampiric world or their brothers' political mind games to help sabotage them. They lived quietly, the way they had intended to before everything happened.

This life though was not for them, they missed their family and the reports of the Volturi's deteriorating iron-clad hold of the vampiric world worried them. If the brothers' relinquished their hold then there would be chaos and exposure would be a very likely reality for their kind and it would not end well.

They knew what they had to do, the pair returned to Volterra under the shadow of the night and met with their family. Despite their anger and rage, they all knew what needed to be done. They made amends with the past, for themselves and for their species. Although it did cost them half of a building after the yelling match that occurred that night.

Didyme was eventually re-introduced to the world during one of the Volturi's functions with Marcus by her side as well as her brothers and sisters. The three power couples stood proud, faces like marble, when they revealed that they were a reckoning force once more to be feared and obeyed.

That day has now gone down as a day akin to the humans' day called Halloween. The people in the room when Didyme was returned had gone paler, if possible and looked as if they might faint. In short, they looked terrified. This amused the couples greatly and so since that day they have made a tradition of scaring their court on that particular day each year.

It didn't take long for everyone to realise that one of the brothers and his wife had the signature Cullen golden eyes. Many took this as a sign of weakness and attempted to annihilate them. The brothers did not back down though and showed they were still as ruthless as ever. There was a small percentage of the community though that followed in their leaders' ways and now are sporting the very same topaz eyes as the other vegetarians.

This development nearly cause a vampiric civil war. Several times. In less than a year. The "meat eaters" vs. the "vegetarians", the brothers were so sick of the mini-wars breaking out, they issued a decree that if they continued, it wouldn't matter who ate what because all of them would be subjected to torture by the Volturi. That caused them to cease rather suddenly.

Caius mulled over how much had changed as a result of it, as he watched his wife and brothers and sisters laugh and be happy together though, he realized how much more they had gained rather than lost. Whenever an argument came about with Didyme though, his favourite line was "Would have been better if you stayed dead," after all they are siblings. They argued. A lot. It was expected, but worth it.

Well, its done. Hasn't been updated in forever cause of school, family and friends but I figured I should at least try and finish it. So basically, thoughts would be appreciated. And its nearly 1 in the morning, so this hasn't been checked over so sorry for spelling or grammatical errors.

Figured I'd say this before I finish this, any donations to the Queensland floods in Australia would be amazing if you could. Prayers and thoughts to those left devastated behind. I have family up there and luckily none of my family were injured but, others such as the boy who died to save his brother weren't so lucky. So please, do the Aussie thing and help out. 3

Alleiya.
