What is Destiny? Can Destiny ever be wrong? Can Destiny ever change? These are the questions that sprang to my mind when I listened to him speak.

"Drekka, honey?"

"DracuLaren..."

I closed my eyes I hated my first name, "It's Drekka, Dad."

Then my gaze shifted to the vampire sitting in front of me, "If I except were would we live for a hundred years you exiled us from Transylvania." That was unfair I knew it when I heard it come out of my mouth...

"Council matters is all that was." He reached across the table towards my hands, since I was half-human I could feel the slightest bit of coolness in his touch, his touch wasn't all together horrible.

I looked into his dark red eyes could these really be the eyes of my True Love?

"I would take you my mansion in Volterra,"

"Italy?"

"Yes," He smiled, "You and your family are still exiled from Romania."

"Mom? Dad?"

"It's your decision."

"Can't I think it over?"

"Its a big decision." He nodded and stood giving my hands a little squeeze.

I gave him a nervous smile and watched his lips curl into a smile. His perfectly white fangs sat on the top of his bottom lip.

"I'll be here for a few days." I watched him give my father a slip of paper.

I watched my mother hand him his black and red cape. He faced all of us but his eyes burrowed into me in particular and gave me a slight nod.

I nodded back and watched as glided back to the black limousine that waited outside.

Something inside me didn't want him to leave.

"Wait," I didn't have to scream I knew he heard me.

He stopped.

I ran past my parents and out the door.

"Don't go" I pleaded, "Please I'll do anything. Aro please, I'll do anything just stay."

I'm not going far." He said as he embraced me with what was supposed to be a warm hug but I felt more like a statue had its arms around me. As Blood tears ran down my face Aro, one of the remaining Vampire Kings, looked at me.

He ran his knuckle up my cheek and licked the blood-my blood-off his finger, "In darkest day; in brightest night." He mumbled, "your bride waits for you."

He put his palm against my cheek.

We looked at each other in quiet awe for a moment.

If I said yes to his question Everything would change but something in me realized that everything had already changed.

"Your father knows how to get in touch with me. Think it over. Think it through and when you're ready I'll come back for you."

"Promise?"

He bent down to kiss my forehead.

I reached behind him and replaced his hood on his head.

I watched the limousine drive away I sank into the leaves a babbling crying mess.

"Drekka?" Lara found me on the sidewalk.

I looked up at my sister, "Come on." She helped me up.
