It was Aro ...

At this point i was unaware that i was shaking ... I guessed he might have noticed my tears because he looked really concerned.

"My sweet dear what has happened to you? Did someone threaten you?"

He asked as he wiped away a few tears from my cheeks. I did not know how to respond ... I did not want Matthias to get in trouble in the short amount of time I've been here.

"N-no im fine."

I lied. He seemed unconvinced as he lifted me in his arms bridal style and started walking back to my room.

"My dear something must have happened to make you this upse-"

He was cut off by his sight ... He saw Felix and Demetri restraning Matthias infornt of Aro. I then noticed aro growing stiff but it concerned him.

"Master, we caught Matthias in Michelle's bedroom trying to sleep with her against her will."

At this point i looked up to see Aro glare at me for conformation i instead look away from his eye's and he took that as a yes. He then places me back on my feet and let out a low grow, for a second i thought hw directed his growl towards me but when i looked up i saw his growl was intended towards Matthias.

He then made his way towards matthias and glared at him. This made all of us feel the tension in the air, Demetri then shot a sympathetic look towards my way reassuring me everything was gonna be okay.

"You just couldn't keep your hands off her could you? You had to invade her privacy and scare her away."

"Master I-"

Before he could finished he hit Matthias so hard that it sent him flying through the wall.

"You have to always put your hands on what does not belong to you."

Before matthias could stand up, Aro hit him in the stomach causing him to fall and hit his head pretty hard.

"I should've ended you when i had the chance."

Aro then placed his foot on his head applying preasure on Matthias head making small crack appear. At this point i was deeply scared ... I was about to witness the murder of matthias infront of me.

"N-no ... Please stop it ... It was an accident ..."

I couldn't believe the words that came out of my mouth ... An accident??? Really??? That's all i could think of???

This seemed to have stopped aro from cracking Matthias skull open. He then looked at me and his eyes had darken ... Rage was all over his face.

"Pardon me?"

He questioned ... He knew what i said but he just couldn't believe that i would go out of my way to protect someone else.

"... Don't ... Kill him. It's fine really, what's done is done. I forgive him ..."

He seemed reluctant to let go of matthias but after squeezing his head with his foot to the floor once again breaking his nose he backed away from him.

"Your quite lucky she saved you from your demise. Felix, take him to the dungeons and make sure to keep an eye on him."

Felix took one last good look at me noticing my bruised arm and he nodded and lead Matthias to the dungeons. Aro then took a step towards me and lifts me up once again bridal style.

I couldn't even meet his gaze ... All this chaos I've caused in a matter of hours ... I should've been killed instead. I could feel Aro's gaze on me as he was walking towards my room, a couple of passing guards who saw us where whispering about us im assuming. They looked like your typical whisper chat at school that spread rumors.

Once we arrived he layed me down in my bed carefully and he took a seat at the end of my bed.  He started debating something in his head, this caused us to grow silent for a couple of minutes.

"It seens as if you attract danger to yourself my dear."

He chuckled.

"You know dearest, Everything that happens in this castle I'll eventually find out. I can see it in their memories just like i did with dear Edward."

I cringed at the mention of edwards name. That was the last name i wanted to hear in this moment.

"It's fine really. It won't happen again i apologize."

He then raised his gaze towards me once again, this time he was examining me.

"Answer this to me Sweet Bambina, what exactly are you apologizing for?"

He was right ... I shouldn't be the one apologizeing ... It should be matthias apologizing yet im the weak one here.

"F-For creating such situation and causeing all of this."

He then stood up once again this time he had allot of anger written in his face ...

"My dear you did not cause this situation, it was Matthias who caused this delema. I assure you that you are not in trouble dearest."

I felt a huge wave of relief hit me as he reassured me.

"You should take rest my dear, you have a long day ahead of you tomorrow, i would suggest to lock your door but that won't be necessary, for i will be guarding your door tonight."

He stood up adjusting his black tie, wait ... The king of the undead is now protecting a mire human!? This must be some sort of trap.

'That won't be necessary Sir i know im safe."

He then let out an unnecessary sigh as his face got inches closer to mine.

"Sweet Michelle i know you are safe, after all you are under my protection. Anyone who dares to hurt you will hve to deal with my wrath.'

He carressed my face with his hands as he directed those words towards me. I wanted to lean on his touch but i would be dammed if i allowed him that power over me.

"I shall bid you goodnight my dearest."

He then started heading for the door and before he could walk out i said

"... Goodnight ..."

"Goodnight my little topolina."
