Part: VII. Cityscapes
Prompt: 004. hate
Words: 5439 words
Summary: Volterra was his prison, an entire city, but it didn't make up for the fact that he was alone and tortured. There had to be something to make this death sentence worthwhile.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Twilight series, and I don't claim to own it either. It belongs to Stephanie Meyer, and I only write these things to satisfy the muses and make nothing from it.
Volterra was a beautiful city. It was like something out of those picturesque romance novels that you could pick up from the drugstore counter back in Forks. The place had an ancient charm and draw to it that couldn’t be denied. But it was also, Seth was discovering, a city that was really easy to get lost in if you didn’t know your way around, or if you didn’t have someone who did.
Seth enjoyed the cool evening air and the feeling of being, while not completely, free for the first time in months. He stretched his arms over his head, letting out a deep breath as he did so along with letting a huge dopey grin spread across his face.
It was the first one that Heidi had seen, and she thought it was beautiful.
Of course, Heidi had already found her mate and loved him more then anything, so she held no interest for Seth in that way. But she could still appreciate that, while it definitely wasn’t the traditional definition of the word, Seth was beautiful. It wasn’t just how he looked either, there was something else about him that just brought out the best of him and those around him; she couldn’t really explain it in words.
“I still can’t get over the fact that you got Marcus of all people to let you come.” Heidi was still surprised about that, and she wasn’t prepared to let the subject drop any time soon; not until she had an answer that was satisfactory.
Seth shrugged with a bit of a smile, “He’s pretty much always in the library when I go there, he doesn’t kick me out or anything and he doesn’t complain about the smell either – I don’t still ‘stink’, do I?”
“You don’t, but now you’re just avoiding talking about this and that I won’t allow. I want to know everything!”
Women. Seth rolled his eyes.
“What do you want to know?”
“Marcus gave you permission.”
“Yeah… I still don’t get why that’s so surprising to you. I mean, yeah he doesn’t talk that much, but that doesn’t mean that he’s a mute.”
Heidi smiled, Oh Seth dear, you wouldn’t know. “Marcus doesn’t talk, though. That’s why I’m surprised that he’s been talking to you. I’ve known him for over two centuries, Seth, and I’ve never once heard him say a single word.”
That seemed to come as a surprise to Seth, “Really? He wasn’t too talkative at first, but once I’d introduced myself, he was a lot friendlier to me. Next to you, he’s probably the nicest person that I’ve met so far.”
“What do you two normally talk about?”
“Not a lot,” Seth frowned, clearly thinking hard. “Sometimes he recommends that I read something, sometimes he asks me about home and what it’s like there, what my friends and family were like.”
“You don’t talk about those sorts of things with me.”
“It’s not something that I really want to talk about right now,” Seth replied, looking up from his feet. “It’s just… I don’t know, something about him makes me feel comfortable and it doesn’t hurt so much when I talk about those kinds of things around him. Besides, the way he asks them… it seems like they’re personal to him too.”
“You feel comfortable around him?” Heidi’s brow furrowed. That was news to her, humansnever felt comfortable around her kind; they shied away from them because of the alien nature of vampires.
“I’ve never felt uncomfortable around vampires, actually,” Seth replied. They were passing through an empty dark alley at that moment, so there was no one around to hear their conversation, and they were carrying it on in quiet voices anyway. “But I feel really comfortable around him; almost like he’s always been there, but I’ve just never noticed.”
“Huh…” That was Heidi’s only response. She had no explanation for why Seth would feel that way, but what he’d told her first was surprising. “You’ve always been comfortable around our kind?”
As always, that distant and broken tone entered Seth’s voice as he talked about his past, “Yeah that was something that always set me apart from the others. Vampires and shifters are supposed to be mortal enemies, yet I’m able to befriend them with ease. Then again, I’m pretty sure that imprinting on them wasn’t supposed to be possible either.”
That was some new information. Heidi immediately jumped on it, “Imprinting?”
By that time they’d emerged onto one of the main streets. Even though it was late in the evening, there were still quite a few people out and about. Seth shook his head at Heidi, “I’ll tell you about it later.”
“Alright.” Heidi let her serious face fall and then immediately brightened up with a huge grin on her face as she looped her arm through Seth’s and began pulling him along behind her. “Let’s get you something to eat! I’ve got the perfect place in mind!”
The attention that the two of them were gaining was a little unnerving to Seth; he wasn’t used to being in the spotlight. At first he thought it was just because of Heidi – after all, she was inhumanly beautiful – but then he started catching wind of the whispers following after them, and they made him blush with a strange combination of embarrassment and a little bit of pride.
“She’s a stunner, but the boy isn’t too hard on the eyes either.”
“I wouldn’t go for her, she’s too pretty, but the guy with her I’d gladly take home anytime.”
“Think they’re together? Cause I’d go for either of them.”
Heidi caught onto Seth’s embarrassment and smiled at him, slowing down her almost maniac pace through the streets, “Don’t mind them; humans are always distracted and fascinated by beauty.”
“I’m not beautiful,” Seth mumbled, which only added to his embarrassment.
“Hmph, well I think you are.” Heidi nodded her head in resolution. “In fact, I’d say that you’re one of the most attractive people I’ve ever met; both physically and mentally.” She grinned, “You’d make a good match for pretty much anyone and they’d be the luckiest person on Earth to have you.”
The compliment didn’t help Seth’s embarrassment and only served to make it worse. He very pointedly stared at his feet, refusing to meet Heidi’s eyes or anyone else’s, and mumbled out a very muted, “Thanks.”
“I know you don’t like compliments, but it’s good to get them. It really gives you a boost, you know?” Heidi led him down another small side street, this one less busy then the one that they’d just been on. She scanned the street briefly, before smiling and standing up straight and releasing Seth’s arm as they started down it.
The place that Heidi had picked out from dinner was a quaint, little café tucked off the main square. There were a few people occupying the tables arranged on the patio, but it wasn’t busy and no one paid them too much attention.
“Ciao, posso ottenere un tavolo per due?” Heidi greeted the server. Seth understood none of the Italian that she’d just used, but he guessed that she was asking for a table since within a few moments they were led to a small table in the far rear of the café, closer to the restaurant then the street front.
The waiter smiled at them as they took their seats, and handed them their menus with the usual big smile, “C'è qualcosa che posso ricevere per voi due?”
Returning the smile, Heidi shook her head, “Non adesso.”
The waiter, a young man who was probably in his late teens or early twenties, nodded, “Dimmi quando sei pronto a ordinare allora.” He left them to their menus.
“Maybe I should learn some Italian if I’m going to be stuck here for a while,” Seth commented offhand, looking over the menu and grimaced; he didn’t know what any of the items were. “I think you’re going to have to order for me; I have no idea of what anything is.”
That made Heidi frown, “Right, I forgot that you don’t know any Italian… I’ll have to keep that in mind. But yes, you should definitely learn some if you’re going to spending time outside the palace with me.”
Seth nodded, “I’ll make a note to do that when we get back. There should be a book or two in the library on Italian that I can learn some of the basics from.”
“Why not ask Marcus?” Heidi interjected; having already decided on what she’d order for the two of them. Well, it was more like order for Seth. She was only ordering something as cover; she could scrape it off her plate discreetly and give it to him instead. “It might be something that you two could bond over.”
“Do you think he’d go for it?” Seth asked, suddenly feeling anxiety curling in the pit of his stomach.
With a shrug, Heidi continued, “I don’t know. You probably know him better then I do even though I’ve known him longer. But yes, I think that he’d be open to teaching you some Italian.”
“That’s good. I really didn’t want to have to ask anyone else…” he trailed off, looking down at the table. It was clear that he was thinking of Jane and Caius, especially.
Reaching out, Heidi placed her hand over Seth’s and gave it a small squeeze, “He likes you, that much I know. You’re probably the first person that he’s talked, verbally, to in centuries. This is a real landmark for the both of you.”
That came as a surprise to Seth, “What do you mean?”
At this, Heidi hesitated, not sure how to continue without making the situation any worse then it already was. She worried her lower lip a little with her exceptionally sharp teeth before finally answering, “It’s a little hard to explain since I don’t know all the specifics myself. But from what I do know, Marcus has been completely apathetic and untouchable for nearly five hundred years. So, for him to be so… open with you it’s a really big deal.”
Seth shrugged that off, “It’s not really that big of a deal… is it?”
“Tread carefully,” Heidi murmured softly, suddenly looking very forlorn. “Aro won’t be too pleased if you start driving a wedge between Marcus and his loyalty to our coven. If he has to choose between you and Marcus; then you’ll be dead.”
“Why would – Heidi, you’re not telling me something.” Seth glared at her sharply, trying to figure out what it was that she was thinking – what she was keeping from him.
Heidi let out a heavy sigh, “I’m not going to say anything on what I think might be going on between you and Marcus; not until I have something concrete at least. Just please be careful, okay? Aro’s ruthless when it comes to power and getting what he wants; you wouldn’t stand a chance against him.”
“I know that,” Seth stated with a ‘hmph’, crossing his arms in a bit of a huff. “If you hadn’t noticed, I’m trying to stay on his good side. It’s not just my own safety which is riding on my staying here as another part of his collection…”
Everyone back in Forks and La Push is counting on me too. I have to stay alive for them.
At that moment, the waiter returned, still with his huge smile still in place for them. This time, though, Seth noticed how his gaze lingered for a little too long on Heidi before it shifted to him for a few moments, “Sei pronto a ordinare?”
“Sì.”
Heidi carefully placed their orders with the waiter, also taking the time to order them some drinks before dismissing the waiter politely despite how he was plainly ogling her.
“Do you ever get used to that?” Seth asked, a little uncomfortable with the attention. He quickly clarified, “People staring at you, I mean.”
She shrugged, leaning back in her chair, “After a while, you do; but you’re always going to be aware of peoples’ eyes being on you. When you’re a vampire, people stare all the time but they won’t approach you unless they absolutely have to.”
Now that was something that Seth had been curious about for the longest time, “Why is that? I mean, I’ve noticed that people don’t seem too comfortable around your kind, but I’ve never had a problem with being around vampires.” I know a few people who don’t, actually... but they were a bit apprehensive at first.
“That’s a bit of a complicated answer,” Heidi began. “And I’m not sure that I’m the best person to explain it to you.”
He gave her a reassuring smile, “Just try your best. I’m curious to know.”
Silence hung for a few more seconds before Heidi had managed to gather her thoughts enough to speak, “Well, like I said, it’s a bit complicated because no one actually really understands why humans tend to shy away from us.
“It probably has something to do with how alien we appear to be. There’s just something about us that tells them to stay away because we’re not human, because we’re dangerous. Of course, when… when those of us who prey on them hunt them… we use our natural charm and our enhanced beauty to get close to them.”
Seth shuddered at the mention of hunting humans; he was only glad that he was safe inside Volterra. As long as he remained with the Volturi, then he’d be safe from any other vampires who might decide that he’d make a good meal. And whatever it had been that Heidi had implied earlier… I’m not going to say anything on what I think might be going on between you and Marcus. What had she meant by that? There wasn’t really anything going on between them.
Was there?
There might have been a draw there, and Seth did feel comfortable with the ancient vampire – more comfortable then he felt with Heidi – but that didn’t mean anything concrete. Even if he was attracted to Marcus just a tiny bit, that didn’t mean anything because Seth was pretty damn sure that he’d never be able to get anywhere with the vampire.
Marcus might have let him put a little crack in his armour, but that didn’t mean that he’d let him all the way in. And like Heidi had said, Marcus just seemed untouchable.
But then, Seth had touched him. He’d hugged him.
It had been a spur of the moment thing, but he’d done it, and Marcus had seemed surprised by it; but he didn’t push him away nor treat him any differently after the fact. And now that he thought about it, Seth couldn’t deny the warmth which surged upwards in his chest at the memory of it.
He hadn’t even minded the cold.
But none of that meant that he could possibly be in love with Marcus.
“So, what’s on your mind Seth? Thinking about Marcus?” Heidi pointed her fork at Seth, which was now loaded with noodles. Their food had arrived while Seth had been lost in thought, and she’d started to become worried when he hadn’t responded. Normally, Seth would dig in right away.
That made Seth splutter and blush, “How did you know?!”
She smirked, “I didn’t. It was a guess, and your reaction just proved me right.”
The blush deepened until it was the same color as a tomato and Seth fiddled with his napkin in his lap. He had no idea what to say, “I… you…”
“Don’t worry about it Seth; I’m sure that Marcus has given you a lot to think about.” She paused, then added, “And I’m sure what I’ve said hasn’t helped much either.”
That made him smile just a little, and the blush faded, “Yeah, you’re not much help when it comes to these things. I bet you’re lousy at giving advice too.”
“When you’re perfect, you don’t need advice.” Heidi imitated the haughty look of a supermodel, which – unsurprisingly – looked completely natural on her face. She flipped her hair around a little to finish the look.
“Uh huh. You know, I hate to break it to you, Heidi, but you’re the farthest thing from perfect there is; I think you’ve still got a little work to do before you get there.”
Heidi feigned a hurt look, “Ouch Seth! That really hurt!”
He rolled his eyes at her dramatics, “Just hurry up and eat so we can go do the shopping you wanted to get done. And I know that that didn’t really hurt you.”
“Aw, you’re such a sensitive person Seth! And by the way, you know that eating is out of the question for me.”
“Just shut up.”
Dinner didn't take them very long to finish, and Heidi paid for it once they were done. She gave the waiter one more brilliantly bright smile before she looped her arm through Seth's and began to pull him down the street away from the café, and towards another little street.
This street, though, was lined with several boutiques, a number of which were on the very high price tag end of shopping. Any of the items in those shops would be enough to give even the most seasoned shopper a huge bout of sticker shock. But Seth was determined not to look at the stickers and not even ask about how much some of the stuff that Heidi would shove into his arms cost.
He'd learned quickly that Heidi didn't really care about how much something cost, as she did about how it looked. Seth didn't believe that she actually needed his measurements like she claimed she did, because he was pretty sure that she already knew just what size he was for just about everything.
“Let's try in here first,” Heidi tugged him towards one shop. The mannequins in the front window were decked out in outfits that looked like they could've come straight off a magazine cover. “I want you to at least have some good clothes to wear while I'm gone. The stuff that I have given you just won't cut it.”
“You don't need to spend a small fortune on me; I'm never going to be able to pull off looking like a model like the rest of you.”
Heidi gave him a blinding smile as they stepped up the small flight of stairs which led into the store, “Oh, you're selling yourself short there, Seth. And besides, as a vampire, you're expected to be inhumanly beautiful or 'like a model', as you put it trying to 'one up' a vampire is pretty much impossible.”
The door opened with the tinkling of chimes, alerting the employees to their entrance. However, no one came over to greet them or talk to them about the latest sale or anything, in fact, apart from the greeting from a perky looking young man – who was dressed extremely well – they were left to do their shopping by themselves.
“But you seem intent on making sure that I can compete with them,” Seth muttered.
Heidi laughed at that, “Maybe.” More like I'm trying to help you catch a certain vampire's attention. “Or maybe I'm thinking of something else altogether and you’re grasping at straws.”
At that, Heidi broke away from Seth and drifted over to one of the many racks of clothing arrayed about the store.
Unlike all of the big box or department stores that Seth had been to, this one was remarkably, well, sparse in its arrangement of the racks. All of them were arranged around the store in a way that he guessed was meant to be 'designer', and the clothes were then sorted according to that. Or price. Or style. He really had no clue.
Even after two years with Alice as a shopping 'buddy', Seth was still an idiot and a newb when it came down to fashion. It probably had something to do with the fact that he just didn't really care about what he wore when he left the house – or his room – in the morning.
Once Heidi had picked out an armful of clothes, she motioned for Seth to follow her to the back of the store where the dressing rooms were. Then she had Seth model each one of the outfits that she'd picked out for him; either nixing them or nodding her head in approval. The stack of yes clothes that would be leaving with them grew quickly, and the entire trying of stuff took a lot longer then Seth would have liked it to.
It took Heidi nearly an hour and a half before she was satisfied with their selection from the first store. She paid for all of the clothes, which were then folded and neatly placed into bags. Seth covered his ears with his hands when the clerk read out the total; he didn't need to hear that Heidi had just blown a small fortune on him.
“That wasn't too bad, was it?” Heidi was asking as she handed off half of the bags to Seth as they left the store. “I've got another two places lined up, but I don't think that we'll be able to hit them both tonight.”
“I don't think we'll get to any of that sightseeing either,” Seth grumbled; he'd been looking forward to that more then he had the shopping.
“Well that's something that we can leave for another time then. Though, some of the places are really difficult to get into after dark; we'll probably have to pull a few strings with the big three.” More like you'll need Marcus if you want to see them.
“Caius and Aro would never do anything nice for me, and you know it.” Seth shuddered, “I'm still having nightmares from some of the shit that Aro put me through and Caius can't stand to be near me at all.”
“I was talking about Marcus,” Heidi rolled her eyes in a dramatic manner. “He let you come with me, didn't he?”
“Well, yeah he did –”
“So what's to say that he wouldn't give you permission to see the sights of Volterra? I bet if you asked him nicely enough, he'd show you them himself.” Heidi gave Seth a wink that had implications that the young man would rather not think about.
“It's not like that.” He blushed and looked at his feet.
“Don't lie to me Seth,” Heidi sighed, taking on a serious air and manner. “I might not have known you for all that long, but I know when you're lying. You have definitely got feelings of some kind for Marcus, so I definitely think – no I know – that you wouldn't mind if what's between the two of you became something more then friendship.”
Seth continued to look down at his feet, “Well, okay fine. You've got me there. But damn it, I won't admit to anything else.”
That made Heidi grin, “Fine, then I will figure it out on my own.” But you just gave it all away right there mister.
“Are we going to be finished this shopping soon? I'm starting to get a bit tired,” Seth yawned to prove his point. He'd changed the subject out of dangerous territory, but he was feeling a bit tired so getting back to the palace soon would be a good idea.
With an enthusiastic nod, Heidi let the subject drop for the time being, she pointed with one bag loaded hand to another little boutique just a ways ahead of them, “I just want to go in there and then we'll be done, alright?”
“Fine. But do we have to do the whole dress-up thing again? That was kind of a pain.”
“That's where all the fun is!” Heidi laughed. “Besides, if you don't try the clothes on, then how do you know what works and what doesn't?”
When they were finally chased out of the little boutique it was well past midnight; Heidi had managed to charm the manager into staying open a few hours longer then usual in order to accommodate them, and she'd made sure to throw in a little extra for their trouble.
Seth thought that was very nice of her.
Then there was the long haul back to the palace, during which the two of them fell into a comfortable silence and occasionally chatted about some inane thing or another. The subject of Marcus and Seth's tangled, complex relationship with him was never broached, although it stayed in the back of Heidi's mind throughout the return trip.
“I'll help you put all of this away before I go change.” Heidi followed Seth inside, her arms full of shopping bags. “I have to leave first thing tomorrow morning.”
Unfortunately for them, there was an unpleasant little 'welcoming' party waiting for them at the front doors of the palace.
Aro was standing there, looking as imposing as ever. His usual charmed half-smile was gone from his lips and was instead replaced with a look of drawn anger; he clearly wasn't pleased to see that Seth hadn't remained on the palace grounds. He hadn't been informed that Seth had gotten permission to leave; after all, he had stipulated that the young wolf needed either his, Caius', or Marcus' permission to wander into the town.
Beside Aro was Jane, a sadistic look of glee upon her angelic face. She was like a little devil; she looked like the sweetest little girl one could imagine, but on the inside she was pure evil and liked nothing more then to hurt people and to 'play' with them.
Lurking a good distance behind the two was Alec, with the usual bored look on his face. He wouldn't participate in the torture that Seth was now sure he'd have to endure, but he wouldn't try to stop it either. Much like Marcus, Alec was a bit of an enigma.
“Seth,” Aro called; is voice was oddly cheery and not at all strained like Seth had expected. “I don't believe that you had plans for tonight that I was made aware of.”
Seth swallowed, hard, “Heidi wanted to show me a little bit of Volterra and then she insisted on dragging me shopping...”
His voice tapered off weakly under the vampire's harsh glare, which then switched to Heidi for a few moments. The younger female vampire cringed, and moved to hide a little bit behind Seth out of instinct; Aro was downright scary when angered.
“Ah, I wasn't aware that you had permission to leave the palace to accompany her,” Aro murmured, switching back into his sweetened honey tone which Seth had grown accustomed to.
“She wouldn't have taken me if I didn't have the permission to leave.” Seth's voice was surprisingly strong considering the situation. He didn't flinch at Aro's tone, but inside he was shaking from the force of will it was taking not to shrink away from the very pissed off vampire in front of him.
“Ah, but you didn't ask for permission.” Now Aro smiled; a saccharin sweet one that spoke of future pain that Seth would have to endure shortly. “Neither Caius nor I were consulted on this matter; you know the punishment for breaking the rules we set for you.”
Beside Aro, Jane gave a horrid smile; inching a little closer to Seth as she did so. She was too pleased by how this was working out, that she wouldn't need some half-baked excuse in order to torture the living daylights out of Seth as she normally did.
“But I did have permission,” Seth replied, softer then before. He could feel the nervousness creeping in and clawing at the inside of his stomach. If this didn't end soon, then he'd probably wind up being sick all over the stone walkway in front of him. “When I asked Marcus –”
“And why would Marcus give you permission?” Aro continued to smile, only this time it turned out darker; much more sinister then the merely sweet one of before which only hinted at the dark intentions. This one so blatantly stated those sadistic inclinations that it was like being slapped in the face with a rubber chicken; one couldn't miss it.
“You can ask him if you want,” Seth snapped back as his hands clenched into fists. He was suddenly very glad that Heidi was carrying the bags as the handles of them would've cut into his palms and that was the last thing that he needed to be worrying about. “Doesn't change the fact that I did have permission to leave; you said that I only needed to get it from either yourself, Caius, or Marcus. And I got it from one of you. I don't see what the problem is.”
“Marcus doesn't talk to anyone stupid,” Jane snapped impishly. “He hasn't spoken in centuries; why should he change for you?”
Aro turned to Heidi, “Heidi, you have somewhere to be tomorrow. I suggest you take care of anything you need to do now; I'll deal with you later, when you return.”
Heidi gave Seth an apologetic look, but then quickly darted around Aro. In a flash of movement too fast to follow, she’d disappeared down the main hallway and turned down one of the many side hallways. The soft boom of a heavy door closing reached their ears, and then silence was returned.
It didn’t last for long.
“I’m not lying.” Seth glared at the tiny vampire, focusing all of his anger and hatred on the girl. He knew that she’d be the one to ‘punish’ him, and he wasn’t looking forward to having to suffer through another too long bout of exposure to her power.
He could still remember the last time, and it made him internally shiver at the memory of it.
“Oh?”
Seth glared at Aro, his hands trembling at his sides, “I’m not lying, you can ask Marcus. I asked him, and he said that it would be fine as long as I was back before dawn. And I got back before that.”
It was true; the sun wouldn’t be rising for another couple of hours. Heidi had been in no danger of exposing her kind when she’d gone with him into the city.
Jane was smiling sadistically. There was a look in her eyes that told Seth that it didn’t matter if he had permission or not; she had every intention of torturing him until he screamed his throat raw from the pain of it all. And both of them knew that Aro was sceptical of his story, and that it was completely likely that he would let Jane have free reign over his punishment even if it was true.
Aro sighed, his face creasing into a small frown, “Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to waste to look into this matter. Seth, I was expecting better of you.” He turned away from the young wolf, “I’ll leave his punishment to you then, dear one.”
She beamed back up at him, “Of course master. I will do it with pleasure.”
That made Aro’s frown turn into a smile, “I regret that I will not be here to observe it.”
With one final look at Seth, Aro turned away, disappearing just the way Heidi had into the deeper reaches of the Volturi’s sanctuary. Once he was out of sight, Jane turned back to Seth, her face twisting even further into a look of pure malice.
“Are you ready for our ‘fun’, wolf?”
Don't worry about anything too dark happening, because there's still quite a lot of this fic left to go.
Also, more of my fail at Italian. (Online translator, again.)
