Aro was quiet aware of who was the leaders of their world. The Romanians. Aro had been expanding on his own coven. It had originally started with himself with Marcus and Caius. Aro had changed his sister in hopes she would have some talent, something that would be of use. It was not. However, Didyme and Marcus had fallen in love. This was not to big of an issue for Aro. It could be an inconvenience at time when Aro needed Marcus to focus on power, but it was nothing that would stop him from gaining what he wanted most. Power. He craved and he would do anything at all to gain it. There was much planning to be done. They needed to have a successful plan. they could not fail in gaining this power. One way to do this was to gain more talents. Like Aro Marcus also had a powerful talent. It was of great use and Aro had used it to his advantage. They needed more talents, more power.
Aro had been traveling through Italy he was very interested in finding useful talents. Those that could perhaps allow him to gain the power he craved so very much. He had stopped as he spotted a mortal, a human. It was questionable why he wanted her. Why he wanted her forever. It was foolish she was just another human there was nothing special about her. But wasn't there? Everything about her was different. Aro was here to find power not find some distraction for a human. Even with that thought he couldn't not stop himself from thinking other wise. She was very beautiful even for a human. He could only imagine how much she would change if he was to change. Aro had changed his sister it shouldn't be to difficult. Aro would hate to kill her because he could not control his thirst. Aro had fed not to long ago his crimson eyes proved just that. Aro would change her he wouldn't think about the consequences of his actions. He needed her and wanted her deeply. He did care for this beautiful young lady. He didn't even know her and yet he still felt strongly for her.
Aro's was completely irrational actions. So unlike him. What was done was done. There was nothing that could be done to change what happen and Aro wasn't sure he wanted to change them. He did not even know this girl, but he held deep feelings for her already. Sulpicia was her name. He had read her thoughts knew everything there was to know about her. Others did interest Aro he was always wanting to learn, but this girl was different. Every little detail was of great interest to him. Everything about her was interesting she was beautiful even as a human. Aro watched the girl closely not leaving her side. He wonder how she would react to this life. Would she hate him for what he had done to her? Would she accept what he had done? Most importantly would she feel anything for him? Aro had never felt strongly for another before. All he could do was wait and be patient. He would find out the answer to all these questions soon enough.

Sulpicia had been prepared for the fitful sleep that she had come across that night. They were mainly nightmares of her previous fiancee and what he was going to do to her now that she had canceled the marriage unexpectantly. As far as they knew she had been perfectly happy marriaging the arrogant jerk, seeing as she never really spoke much about her feelings. She really had not had anyone in her family close enough to speak to about such things, seeing as with a large family as her own it could be rather difficult to get to know them rather well.
Where the extreme pain came from, Sulpicia was unsure of. Had he killed her in her sleep quickly and painless, and was she now burning in the fiery pits of Hell? She had heard the humors about a savior coming around but never bothered to believe it. She was starting to regret it now, thinking that it could most certainly be a cause of her tremendous pain that she had felt right before she was certain she would wake up. She wasn't sure at the moment whether she was conscious or unconscious, it was all just a blur that she found hard to tell the difference from. One was black, the other was red. She just didn't know which was which. She just knew they both posessed an ammount of pain that she blieved no human deserved to go through, no matter what crimes they committed.
Which was the exact point of Sulpicia's loud, though thankfully not shrill, screams of pain. She had pleaded for someone to just end the pain now, to kill her if she was not already dead. Time had passed too slowly for her, seconds turning to hours as opposed to minutes. She had no idea how long it had been, though could only imagine it had been years or decades since it had started. Her internal clock had messed up entirely because of the pain, and she wasn't sure if it was day or night. Though she could hardly think at all, barely able to get pass the pain.

[[Real tired might not be the best. Sorry!]]
Aro watched Sulpicia closely as her transformation began. The screams of pain were expected. Aro had watched his sister change heard her screams and plead for death. It had not bothered Aro in the slightest he had changed her for power and nothing more. He had wanted her to have a powerful talent something that would be of use to him. Give him an advantage. After all that's what he wanted more than anything. Power. He would have it. But now everything seemed to pause. All because of this mortal who was now changing to be one of them. Aro would never pause in his plans to gain power he had never done so. His action to change her had been something completely unexpected. It was not something he would or should want to do. It was irrational, but he knew it was right. He needed to change her. He wanted her. He did not want to think she would die she would have if she was still human. Aro wanted her forever, but how would she feel how would she react?
Aro hated hearing her scream out in pain. She was begging for death. Aro had heard the very same thing from his sister, but this time it was almost painful. He did not want any harm to come to this girl, to Sulpicia, he would not allow it. He felt strongly for her and would do anything to make sure she was not in pain. There was nothing he could do. He would say each and every time she begged for death it would be over soon. That the pain would end. It did seem like time seemed to stretch on. Three days seemed so long. Aro had never paid much attention to time before, but this seemed to be eternity. Waiting for this to end. To know Sulpicia was no longer in any pain. It would end soon. They had all gone through this exact pain nothing could stop it from happening. Aro hoped it would be worth it in the end. If she would accept this new life or not Aro could not be certain. He most certainly hope she would. He would not want anything else, but he could not be sure.
Aro did not leave Sulpicia's side for three days. He completely ignored everything else. He wanted her pain to end and it would. Her heartbeats became faster over the course of three days. Eventually it would beat one last time. Then she would be a newborn, an immortal, a vampire. Aro wanted there to be some way for the pain to end and quickly. He did not want her in any pain at all. He did not want anything to harm her. Never had he felt so protective over someone. He cared strongly for her he knew everything about her. He had read her thoughts. He knew everything there was to know and each little detail had been of great interest to him. Aro waited patiently be her side waiting for her heart to stop, waiting for her screams to be no more. Curious as to how she would react to this new life.

Sulpicia could hardly hear her screams of pain, they seemed to more echo in her ears than anything else. She could not feel her body twitching in pain, all her senses seemed to detect was the pain. It coursed painfully through her veins; her heart beating rapidly as if it was purposely trying to rip itself straight out of her chest. At this point she wasn't sure if that was a good thing, because she wasn't sure if that meant she was dead and the pain was over - or if the pain would continue as if nothing had happened. The near incoherent thought nearly made her stop completely.
If her heart was still beating, and Sulpicia was now aware of it, that meant she was alive, right? Though she had absolutely no reason for the sudden amount of pain, and why it wasn't seeming like any time was passing. When her heart seemed to get hotter - she hadn't even thought of that possible - she let out a scream, and this time is was shrill like a young child's'. She could feel it seemed to lightly (and slowly) disappear from her fingers and her toes. That made her question what was happening. Was it ending? Was she about to die? God, she hoped so. She'd do anything for this to end, run in the nude to the ends of the Earth for it all to end. Anything.
As Sulpicia's heart rate sped up dramatically, she could feel the pain fading away from her arms and legs slowly. It was as if all the pain that was there had decided to go to her heart, and just cause it to burn on and on. It just all dragged on and on, taking it's time as if it's only purpose was to cause the blond an unbearable amount of pain. It was nearly gone completely, except from her heart and that frightened her to death nearly, if she wasn't already there. She had stopped convulsing completely, and her features were set in a scowl. She didn't move when her heart stopped for good.

[[grr it's so short! And I cant think of anything else. I'm so sorry!]]
Time did seem to stop three days shouldn't be quiet as long. They never had before. Why did he feel the need to prevent his girl from feeling pain. He wanted nothing more than for her to be happy, content, unharmed. It was completely irrational. This girl didn't even know him or what she would be. Yet Aro knew every little detail about her and her life. Even the smallest details had been of interest to Aro. Never had a person's thoughts been of so much interest to him. Aro did love to learn and know everything, but not every little detail as he did with Sulpicia. Everything about her fascinated him. He wanted this three days to end. He wanted to be able to know how she would react to this new life.
So many questions Aro wanted to answered. He would wait and be patient. Aro could hear her heart slow down. Aro was close by Sulpicia's side as he had been since he brought her here. He wanted to know so much, but it could all wait. First he would see how she would react to this new life. He wanted her to be happy with this. He wanted her to return how strongly he was feeling for her. He loved her he knew this for certain. Aro truly loved this girl who he had just met. He felt drawn to her. And he wanted her to feel the same. He would not force her, but perhaps he would be lucky and she would feel the same. Aro would find out soon enough as her heart beated for the last time. "Sulpicia." Aro was intently curious how she would react what she would say. Would she adjust to this life with ease? Would she hate him for changing her into an immortal, a vampire? So many questions, but he would wait.

Frankly, Sulpicia did not want to move. She was terrified that if she did move again that the pain was just going to start over again and leave her in agony. She certainly did not want that to happen. She merely stayed lying still, her thoughts flying faster than she could remember. Speaking of which, she tried to remember back. Her life seemed like a blur, and the strongest moments were hard to remember. Everything aside the pain that had ended not three seconds ago was there, but it was just too hard to remember clearly.
When Sulpicia's name was spoken, her eyes fluttered open almost hesitantly. She looked at the man standing next to her, and held back a scream. His skin was paler than snow, and his eyes were red! She had heard that vampires did indeed exist, but had thought that it was just an old wives tale or something like that. It frightened her how he knew her name, and how he had spoken it as if he knew the pain was over. She was terrified, and had a feeling that her facial expression was mirroring her horror perfectly.
"H- How do you know my name?" Was the first thing that escaped Sulpicia's lips, and she was already in a state of shock. It increased dramatically when she heard the sound of voice, different from what she remember. It was much more musical, and had a slightly higher pitch than she remembered. She honestly had the urge to just break down and cry like a young child. She was unsure what had had happened, but had a feeling that it wasn't something that she would have liked to happen to her.

Aro watched as Sulpicia opened her eyes for the first time. Her eyes were ruby red. Bright. They would be that way for some time. They would eventually become a dull crimson, but for a few weeks they would be bright. Everything would appear slightly different as well, clearer. Aro could remember when he had first changed how different everything had appeared, but it was still the same. Vampires were so much grander than humans. It was easy to tell the difference. All of their senses had been enhanced. Aro also recalled how thirsty he had been when he awoke. As every vampire was. Sulpicia would need to hunt soon. After he explained everything. After he found out her reaction to this life. He had so many questions, but they could all wait. He would know everything soon enough.
Aro could see clearly how scared Sulpicia was. He did not want her to be afraid she had no reason to. He would never harm and wanted nothing more than for her to know she was safe and to be happy. She could see much clearer than when she was human, even if she was still mortal, she would have seen his pale skin and his crimson eyes. His eyes would still be bright from his last hunt. It had not been to long before he changed Sulpicia. Yet again Aro wanted to ask her so many questions, but he held them all back. He did not want to frighten her anymore than she already was.
Sulpicia's voice was perfect. Yet her tone was not something he liked. She would understand everything and know there was no reason to worry about anything. If she would accept it or not was something Aro would find out soon enough. How to answer her without frightening her to much. Perhaps explaining what she was or assuring her everything was fine would be best. Not many vampires had talents he discovered this quickly. It was rare. "I assure you everything is fine. There is no reason to feel afraid." Aro kept his voice calm, but tried to sound as friendly as he could. He did not want her to fear him if she that is what she was feeling. He could know by simply touching her, but he would wait. Allow her to adjust a bit more. "Perhaps I should explain what has happen over the past three days?" It may be easier for her to understand his ability if she knew what had happened to her.

Fine?! That was certainly not a word that Sulpicia would have chosen to describe that situation she was currently in. Waking up after however long it had been in an uncanny ammount of pain in a place she had never seen before was not exactly 'fine' to her. It was far worse that whatever the antonym of fine was considered these days. Especially if this man was what she thought he could possibly be what she had heard rumors about. She was starting to feel slightly foolish for thinking of it as rubbish.
No. Reason. To. Feel. Afraid?! That was most certainly not the words that Sulpicia was looking for, yet at the exact same time they were the words she was looking for. She just wanted to be home, and cry in her father's arms. She and her father had never been paticularly close - but that was the classic thing for a daughter to want to do. "I find that rather hard to believe." The blonde said in a hard tone, trying to keep a scowl off her face. But the strong burn in her throat was making it harder to stay in a brighter, cheerier mood.
"Yes. An explanation would be most appropriate, I believe." Sulpicia said, trying to keep herself at glaring from the handsome man infront of her. It was a hard thing for her to do, as her fear was slowly starting to turn into anger. She could feel an underlying strength in her muscles that she had never felt, though, as if she was stronger than she had been. Her features were still harder than normal, but it was still not a glare. Well, at least it hadn't turned into a glare. It would in a matter of time.

"Why?" Aro could not help but question. He would never harm her and would not allow anything to happen to her. He felt strongly for this girl. As irrational as it was. He wanted her to trust him more than anything else. She should not feel afraid. Everything may seem different yes, but there was nothing wrong. Aro wanted her to adjust to this new life easily. To be confident that everything was fine. There could be reasons to feel afraid, but he did not want her to. Aro could name reasons but he didn't want her to be afraid for any reason. He wanted her to trust him and know everything was fine that everything was as it should be.
Aro kept his eyes on Sulpicia. He didn't like her expression very much, but perhaps that would change. Unless she hated this new life he had given her. He would hope not, but he could not be certain on how she will react. If she will accept this life and what he has made her. He truly hoped she would. His sister had adjust easily, but that was different. Didyme was his sister and she trusted him. Sulpicia didn't even know him. Yet he knew everything about her. His talent was most useful. requiring a simple touch to know one's every thought. He knew all there was to know about Sulpicia. What had happen in her life before he changed her. Everything. Her memories would no doubt be unclear as it was all immortals who were changed.
"You are now immortal. I have changed you." Aro did not want this girl to react badly to this new knowledge. He wanted her to adjust with ease to accept everything as he told her. It had been completely irrational to change her and yet he knew he had to change her. He wanted her to be with him forever. Humans. If one thought about them long enough they would know just how frail they really were. How easily they could be harmed or killed. Aro would hate the idea of anything happen to Sulpicia. More he hated the idea of her being away from him. Perhaps that would be his reason. He wanted her.
"You are a vampire." Aro did not know who Sulpicia would react to knowing she truly was a vampire. They were so much grander than any human. Perhaps she would understand this and adjust or it may turn out to be the other way. Aro could remember how thirsty he was when he awoke the same for his sister and every vampire. They would need to hunt soon. Aro did not want Sulpicia uncomfortable in any way.

Why?! Sulpicia wanted to strangle the handsome man for even thinking about - let alone doing it- saying why after whatever he had just done. "Why?" She mimicked, her voice louder with more anger behind it. Her fingers were locked rigid as she slowly sat up, straightening her nightgown a bit before looking back at him. Her bright red eyes flashed with anger, though she hadn't learned the worst of it yet. She thought that this was probably the worst thing behind all that had happened. She was way off, though.
"I doubt everyone woman's ideal dream is waking up after three days of Hell in a place that she's never seen before. Especially with a man that she's never met, who seems to know her name, and has red eyes!" Sulpicia shouted at him. She was not the first, nor the last person to loose her temper but this probably would have made some of the calmest people mad. She did not consider herself all too calm most of the time, but it's not like she was high strung and snapped at people with the smallest things. She was inbetween, flowing through out the middle of all the people.
At the word immortal, Sulpicia froze completely. She sure as heck did not want to live forever, especially with the not so exciting nor happy life she had had as a human. She did not move, nor breathe. Not breathing was rather uncomfortable, and it also made her think slightly about the burn in her throat. It was not equally uncomfortable, more than just not breathing to be honest. She didn't speak, waiting for him to explain how exactly he had changed her. She was on the verge of just screaming.
"No! Impossible. That can't be right. You're insane! A witch!" Sulpicia accused, not believing what she had heard. It would make sense with the crimson eyes that the man before her held, but she would not believe it. She couldn't be a vampire, a bloodthirsty monster. Her hands were no longer stiff and flat, but curled into tight fist that caused her knuckles and tendions to stick out. He had to be lying, she would not believe the nonsense. It had to be some sick twisted joke, perhaps her now ex-fiancee had planned it to freak her out or something? Whatever it was, that couldn't be right.

It was obvious Sulpicia was angry. This most certainly was not what Aro wanted. Far from it. Aro kept his expression calm. He did not reveal any of his emotions. He didn't like how Sulpicia was reacting. But he could understand why. He had never met her before he changed her. He had taken her from her home and changed her. Took her away from her mortal life. A life she can never go back to. "Even if it is not ideal there is nothing that can change what has happen." Nothing would ever change what she was. She was a vampire and always would be. She would remain as she is right now forever. "Is that what frightens you?" Aro's tone was a bit softer. She didn't seem to like his eyes even though hers were exactly the same perhaps a bit brighter. "My eyes?" Aro did not want this girl to fear him. Though he was certain it was more than fear it was anger. He did not want either. He wanted her to trust him and know she would be safe and everything was fine.
Aro watched as Sulpicia froze at the word 'immortal.' Aro did not know if she simply did not believe him or did not like the thought of being immortal. Aro did not want it any other way. If she was human she could so easily get hurt or even die. That was not what he wanted. He cared for this girl as irrational as it was. He was not completely sure what drew him to this girl. She was exceptionally beautiful even when she had been a mortal. She was even more so now. Perfect in every way. Her life interest him like no one else ever had. She was different someone he didn't want to lose and more because she was mortal. She would be the same and be just as perfect as she was. Aro kept his expression calm as she called him insane and a witch. Two words he most certainly did not like. Those were words that he had not been expecting. No one had called him either of them. True, he tended to avoid humans for the most part. The only human he had changes was his sister and she had not called him either of those. She had not been to please, but couldn't have been happier.
"I am not insane nor am I a witch." Aro kept his voice completely calm. If she was to see reflection she would know he was telling her the truth. He would never lie to her what point would he have in doing that? "You have a burn in your throat do you not?" Aro questioned already knowing the answer. She would have a burn in throat a need for blood. "You are thirsty. You have a need to hunt, to feed." This should be enough to allow Sulpicia to understand he was telling her the truth. He wanted her to accept this more than anything, but he could not be certain if she would or not. Her reflection would no doubt erase any doubt she had about being a vampire.

The man's eyes did frighten her, but that had not been Sulpicia's real point. "No, well yes, but that's not exactly what I meant. It's not always ideal, nor a good impression, to just whisk someone away against their will." She explained, trying to be patient which rarely worked out for her. Patience was not her virtue. That did not mean that impatience was her virtue, this she also just floated through the middle. She was a little uptight at the moment, and trying her best to remain calm. That was not easy.
The not being insane was harder for Sulpicia to believe than not being a witch. Witches she thought of as more feminine than masculine, and she assumed that it was more often the case. Though he truly did sound insane, saying that she was immortal and such. Her teeth clenched together and she chose to remain rather stiff and rigid as opposed to shaking with anger. She only shook with it when she was containing it and holding it back to sustain from injuring someone. In this case she was truly trying not to injure the handsome man in front of him, as she felt a drawn to him that she was denying with all her might.
At the mention of her throat, Sulpicia's pale hand clutched around it. "Yes..." It was indeed burning, and it was not a pleasant sensation. It hadn't been as bad as the burning of when she was 'changing'. The thought of feeding disgusted her, yet at the same time made her overjoyed. She felt like she had been split in half, with a side wanting to remain human and a side saying just to get over it and accept it. She felt as if she wanted both, but knew that in the end she was going to had to accept. Something she wanted, yet she feared for.

"It was irrational to take you away from your life. I know this." Even though Aro knew this it did not mean he fully understood why. He simply wanted her. It was the easiest explanation he could think of. He cared deeply for her already. he knew everything there was to know about and each little detail fascinated him like no one else ever had. Aro always loved to learn about others, but Sulpicia was even more interesting. He didn't want anything to happen to her and what better way than to change her? Even if she was angry at him for changing her perhaps she would adjust. Time was all that was needed. She would have to accept the life she was given sooner or later.
Aro knew the thirst would be unbearable the longer Sulpicia went without hunting. "Perhaps we should satisfy your thirst." Aro did not want any discomfort to come to her. He wanted her to be as comfortable as she could. Perhaps hunting would also help her adjust to this life. It would not be difficult to find a few humans it should be fairly easy. Having Sulpicia hunt may be for the best. She may accept this life more easily and she would certainly be more comfortable. That is what he wanted more than anything else right this moment. Of course what he wanted more than anything was power he would do absolutely anything for it. But for now his plans were put on hold his focus was on Sulpicia.
"It will make you much more comfortable as well." Aro did want Sulpicia to be as comfortable as possible. It may help her adjust to this life. Something that would greatly please him. He wanted her to trust him as well. He was uncertain if she would or not. He did not want it to take to long to gain her trust and for her not fear him. He would be patient. There was still so much he needed to explain. Her first question being the main one. How did he know her name? Would she even believe him? She called him insane if he was to say he could know her every thought right now she may still think the same. He would give her time to adjust to this life. Or at the very least hunt before he explained anything else. Hunting would allow her to follow her instinct and know for certain she was a vampire. There would be no doubt about what he said was truth.

"You sure as Hell better know that!" Sulpicia yelled at the man before her, her bright crimson eyes flashing with anger. Though it was mainly just to cover her fear, something she had always tried to cover. As a child she had always acted tougher than she was, which consisted most of the time crying herself silently to sleep. She had shared a bed with two of her five sisters, and therefore had to be quite about it. If they had heard her crying they'd surely suspect something. They'd realize she was much weaker than she appeared, something she never wanted to happen.
Satisfy her thirst? Those words where not one that Sulpicia truly wanted to here. Anyone that had heard a simple rumor about vampires being real knew their diet and what they 'ate'. She was not an exception to that. The thought of blood, and more importantly drinking it caused her humane and monstrous side to both come in her head. The humane side told her to die her thirst and what she was, to just starve herself for the rest of eternity. The monstrous side said just to accept what she was and that there was no going back. To take the blood as it was offered, and just learn to be unnecessarily cruel to humans.
It would make her comfortable...Sulpicia pondered that thought. She was sure that it meant it would be physical comfort much more than mental comfort. She sighed softly, torn with what to do. Her eyes hovered on the ground now, not wanting to meet his eyes. After a moment of silence she looked back up at him. "Fine. I'll trust you with this, and this only." She said, turning fierce again after the first year. Her fine had sounded as if she had been defeated and giving in, which she had been in her own odd way.

Aro kept calm even as Sulpicia yelled at him. He was not pleased with her yelling, but he could understand she was angry. He did take her away from her life. "Even if it was irrational it doesn't mean it was a bad choice." Aro had wanted to change Sulpicia. It was strange, but he knew it was for the best. Or at least he hoped. Aro did not regret changing Sulpicia even if she was angry with him. Perhaps in time that would change. He didn't want it to be to much time, but he could be very patient if he wanted to be and he would. With Sulpicia he would wait and hope she would adjust and eventually truly trust him. Not fear or be angry with him. Those were things he most certainly did not want and hoped they would change.
At least Sulpicia was trusting him. He hoped it would be much more than this one time. "You should learn to trust me." Aro would never let anything happen to Sulpicia. He did care for her the very reason he changed her. Something he still was not completely sure of. He had seen her and knew he wanted her. He had changed her without really thinking. Aro always thought everything through. This being the one exception or so it seemed. He was sure there were others times, but he did not recall them. Perhaps when he, himself, was human. Aro could not recall much of his human life if any. He could remember parts of it. He had always wanted power this he knew for certain. He had always planned and weighed each action. Much like he did not. He was the same as he was when human only that much grander.
He would gain power as well. It would take time this he knew, but he would have it. But even though he wanted power more than anything he knew even more than this girl he still cared for her. Aro still wanted Sulpicia to trust him. He wanted her to be comfortable, happy, content he wanted so much. After they hunted he would answer her first question. Perhaps once she did hunt she would understand what she was and know everything he had said was truth. Perhaps she would not call him insane when he told her he could read every thought she had ever had. And had. He knew everything there was to know about Sulpicia. Each insignificant thought had fascinated him like no one else. She was different. Perhaps simply because he felt so strongly for her. Even if he was uncertain why it did not change anything. He cared for her and he knew that would never change. "Shall we?" Aro questioned moving slightly toward the door. It would be easy to track down a human or two enough to satisfy Sulpicia's thirst.

"Whether your decision was good or bad is a matter of opinion, one I have not decided on." Sulpicia said, now deciding to keep her face as clear from emotions as possible. She was mainly leaning towards the bad decision side, but she was trying her best to be optomistic about it. Who knew, maybe it was possible she'd end up finding a positive thing about this. That was hard for her to believe, but this man seemed perfectly happy as a vampire. Maybe he would help her find happiness?
That was probably true. Sulpicia felt like now that she had no one to trust now that she was...vampire, and he seemed like the most likely person she could trust at the moment. He had bothered to be there, and not just left her alone and confused. "Probably." She said softly, once again avoiding his gaze. She had always been scolded growing up for never meeting people's eyes. She had gotten used to the scoldings and they were now old news to her. Which was probably why she had ended not even bothering to listen to them anyway. Oh well.
"We shall," Sulpicia said before gracefully standing up. She did not look at him as she passed him by, her hair falling in her face. The corners of her mouth were nearly uplifted ever so slightly into something that he could take as a smile which she did not want him to see. That would be bad, in her opinion. She shouldn't be happy at all with the situation she was currently in, she should be miserable and not wanting to move at all! Truth be told she was not as miserable as she would have expected. Which was saying a lot.

Aro smiled slightly. It seemed Sulpicia had yet to decide if him changing her was good or bad. "I look forward to hearing what you decide." Whether it was through her own words or her thoughts would know eventually. Aro would hope Sulpicia would think this was a good decision. Aro certainly did and he was not going to change his mind one it. Even if Sulpicia was angry with him he knew this was a good decision. As irrational as it seemed to be. It didn't make sense for Aro to care for Sulpicia so quickly as he did. The very reason for his quick action. He did not want anything to happen to her and he wanted her to trust him. He could be patient he would give her time to adjust to this life.
Aro noticed Sulpicia avoid his gaze as she agreed with him. Perhaps she would learn to trust him. Aro would be most pleased if she did. All of his attention was on Sulpicia for the time being. Before he had seen Sulpicia his focus had been power. He still wanted power and he knew would give up anything for it. But he wanted to have this girl gain his trust. He knew he was far from gaining power. There was so much more planning that needed to be done. So much to think about, so much to consider with his brothers as well. Aro did wonder briefly how his brothers, Marcus and Caius, would react to Aro having changed a vampire. Aro even wonder about his sister's reaction. Perhaps they wouldn't care to much and accept Sulpicia. It wasn't like Aro would have it any other way. There was still so much Aro needed to explain so much to tell her. She probably still had many questions and he would answer all of them. Any question at all. But after she had satisfied her thirst.
Sulpicia was still not looking at Aro as she stood up. Aro was uncertain why she was avoiding looking at him. He could find out with one touch if he wanted, but he would wait. Wait until he explained everything to her. His talent included. He would need to explain the rest of his coven even his plans on taking power from the Romanians. Aro had the chance to meet not to long ago. They were so very interesting Aro had instantly been drawn to their power. A power he would have. Aro followed Sulpicia as she exited the room. It was fairly easy to make it outside. It was late but there would be humans out. It wouldn't be difficult to find one or two. Sulpicia would easily be guided by her instincts. Aro hoped she would adjust easily after this hunt perhaps everything would be easier for her to accept. And maybe even decide him changing her was a good choice.

Looking forward? Sulpicia chose not to ask what exactly he meant by the simple statement, and did not look at him as she responded simply. "Then hopefully you have patience," the comment could have been taken in a crude way - though it wasn't intended that way. She was not one to make sure she thought through everything that she said, and sometimes he thoughts were just spoken aloud. Sometimes for the better, and it would be a good thought, and sometimes it would just be plain cruel.
In the end (well, truly about two seconds) Sulpicia had stepped back to let Aro lead after realizing she had no idea where they were going to 'hunt'. It embarrassed her slightly, as she traditionally was not a person to step down. She had stepped down by choice once or twice before - such as the marriage purposal the day she had been changed - but she had not been forced into that. Which was why it had been easier for her to go back on the word, as it had been her choice. Her mother and father had not been pleased to say the least - though that did not matter anymore.
Being outdoors was something slightly different now with all the new smells. Sulpicia took in a small breath - already used to breathing from being so close to her humanity - and her throat felt like it had been lit on fire. She could smell something amazing, and she wanted it. No, she felt like she honestly needed it as much as a human needed air. Her crimson eyes darkened dramatically at the scent, and her muscles locked in place. She felt like all of her humane thoughts were completely gone now.

[[Short sorry! I'm to tired to think of anything else.]]
Sulpicia still do not look at Aro even when she replied. Aro smiled he certainly had patience. He could wait a long time in hopes that Sulpicia would decide that this choice had been a good one. "I have patience." Aro assured Sulpicia. He could wait he would prefer not to wait to long, but he would if needed to. Aro wanted nothing more than for Sulpicia to think this was a good choice. He needed to explain so much more to Sulpicia. More about this life, answer all of her questions, even tell her about the rest of his coven. His plans for power as well eventually. There was still much to plan, but it could and would wait. Aro was focused on Sulpicia more than anything else right now. She was already so important to him. He knew he would want power more than even her, but that did not mean he cared any less for her. He wanted her to trust him, to be comfortable. After hunting perhaps this would change.
Aro easily led the way as Sulpicia allowed him to. It could be easy to get lost if one did not know where they were going. Aro glanced at Sulpicia as the made it outside. Aro could easily pick up the humans scent it made his own throat burn as it always did. He did not need to hunt, but could if he chose to. "All of your senses have been enhanced." Aro explained a bit about being a vampire. Vampires were truly much more grander than any human could ever dream of being. Aro could pick up the sound of a couple humans moving not to far away. They were no doubt awake even though it was late. Aro kept his eyes on Sulpicia watching her closely. She was a newborn the human scent would be very tempting it would be almost impossible to resist. And there really was no need to. "Follow you instincts that is how we hunt." Aro would follow Sulpicia in whichever direction she went.

Sulpicia had honestly not expected him to make any comment after she mentioned he would need patience. And she had realized by now that her senses were much more enhanced than she had been as a human. She could hear the slightest movement of an insect, and could see every single detail on the pieces of grass below her feet. Which she realized were bare, though it did not bother her one bit. She was slightly surprised that she was not cool, as her night gown blew around right above the ground easily and did not cover her full arms, as if the sleeves had been pushed up purposely. Which, they hadn't, that was just because there hadn't been enough material to make the sleeves any longer.
Follow your instincts? That made Sulpicia assume that he was referring to the voice in the back of her head to just leave now and go after the humans. She could hear their heartbeats, and smell them. And boy, did they smell good! She did exactly what he said by following her instincts, and took off running. She speed surprised her, it was exhilarating! It came much more natural to her, and her strides were long; she could feel the strength letting itself loose. It was amazing, and she was surprised about how natural it seem to came to her. But she could hardly focus on the fact. The only thing she was focusing on was the scent of human getting stronger.
The moment the two humans - both males and chewing tobacco by the look of it - came into Sulpicia's view was the same second that she took the first one down. She drained them both of blood greedily, the precious liquid flowing down her throat in a soothing manner. Which she found rather strange, but she didn't bother to think about it. The burn was soothed (for the most part, at least) which was something she was grateful. She whiped the extra blood off her mouth on the back of her hand, smearing it onto her hand instead of across her face. She turned around on her heal, expecting him to be there.

Aro watched Sulpicia carefully. He did want to know what she was thinking and could so easily with one simple touch, but he would wait. He wanted to make sure her thirst was satisfied make sure she adjust at least a little to this new life. Being a newborn took some adjust meant. It was even easy for newborns to lose control. Their thirst for blood was difficult to control and at times they did not have the control to resist. Aro, himself, had been the same way. His 'brothers' and his sister as well. The newborn stage would last a year. Sulpicia would be stronger than the Aro and the rest of his coven for a year maybe less. Once she began to learn control her boost of strength would also fade.
Aro easily kept up with Sulpicia as she took off. Aro kept a bit a distance between them knowing very well how easy a newborn could lose control. That was certainly the last thing Aro wanted. Aro's throat did burn as it always did when he picked up the scent of humans. It was expected, but something he could resist. He was well past the newborn stage by a couple decades he had complete control over his thirst. But there really was very little reason to resist if he was thirsty. Aro kept his eyes on Sulpicia the entire time. Even running as quickly as they were he was able to pick up every little detail as expected. Aro saw the two humans slowing down a bit more. Aro watched as Sulpicia quickly satisfied her thirst.
Aro took a few steps so he was only a few feet away from Sulpicia as she finished her meal. "Is your thirst satisfied?" Aro questioned as she turned to look at him. Aro wanted to make sure she would not need any more blood for a while. He was certain she could last a few hours maybe days, but he wanted to be certain. He would answer all her questions once he was certain of that. The first being the one she had asked how he had known her name. He would have to explain his talent as well as the rest of his coven who she would have to meet eventually.

Like Sulpicia had expected, the man was standing a few feet behind her in a manner that could be mistaken as easily stalker-ish. Though, she tried not to think too much about the fact. Things similar to the stalker subject in her mind she mainly tried to avoid, seeing as she rather have her head try to be happier than how she may act some of the time. Her acts were sometimes quite close to her thoughts, but at other times you'd think the idae came from someone completely different. Everyone had two sides, so to say.
"Yes," Well, as far as Sulpicia could tell her thirst was satisfied. She wasn't sure how exactly she was supposed to know if it was satisfied, and was just assuming that it was. She brushed back her hair with her left eye, and out of her peripheral vision she noticed just how pale her hands were. It looked like, in her mind, that it could blend in perfectly with snow if snow were as hard appearing as her skin was. She realized how trivial and distracted her thoughts had come with a mere small detail, and focused back on what was happening around her.
"Also, with the whole trust idea," Sulpicia started remembering one of her thoughts. "Perhaps it's be a bit easier if I knew a little about you, like, hmm, your name?" She said, quirking her eyebrow up at him. It was a habit that she had developed easily, raising a single eyebrow up at someone whenever she questioned them. Why she had picked up she would probably never understand, true, but she had anyway. It's not like it truly mattered in her own mind, though.

[[Eh, not very long sorry.]]
"Yes of course how rude of me." Aro probably should have introduced himself when she had first awoken, but he tended to get ahead of himself. He already knew everything about Sulpicia. Yet, Sulpicia still knew nothing about him not even his name. "My name is Aro." Aro smiled perhaps this would allow her trust her even if it was a little. Aro wanted to gain Sulpicia's trust. He wasn't sure how long it would take to gain it but he could be paitent. He didn't want it to take to long, but if it did he would be displeased as long as she did trust him in the end. It was still irrational to want Sulpicia as he did. To want her trust, to want her to be comfortable, happy, content. He never felt as strongly for someone as he did for Sulpicia. "Perhaps I should answer your first question?" Now that Sulpicia's thirst was satisfied and she knew very well that she was a vampire perhaps she wouldn't assume his talent was insane as she had called him before.
"How I know your name." While talents were rare it seemed most in Aro's coven did have one. His sister had the ability to make those around her happy and Marcus could sense relationships. Marcus' talent was very useful it would allow him to know how to strike the Romanians more efficiently. Be more prepared know who was loyal and who was not. But these were thoughts for later. He could so easily get distracted with power he craved more than anything else. "Some of us have talents. Abilities that allows to do more than the rest. I have a talent that allows me to know every thought a person has ever had with one touch." Aro wonder how Sulpicia would react knowing he knew every thought she ever had. He knew everything about her ever little detail. It fascinated him her life her thoughts. Everything about her was interesting.

Aro. That helped a bit, but not all too much. Sulpicia hadn't thought that it was rude of him to not introduce himself, just not exactly too polite of him to continue on as if she already knew who he was. Some people just completely forgot to do that most of the time until right before they left. Some people did on purpose, as if trying to make the other person wonder why they had said nothing about who they were. She didn't bother to wonder which option or why he had not introduced himself before hand.
"Yes, perhaps you should." Sulpicia said in a way that it could easily come across as rude, like most of her comments could rather easily. It would be quite helpful for the trust idea if she knew how exactly he had known her name. It was just creepy to have some stranger know your name when you had never laid eyes on them in your life. Unless of course they were your parents friends or something like that, but she doubted that this was the case. Especially since her parents didn't know any Aros as far as she knew.
Sulpicia's jaw dropped as soon as she heard the words. He had read her mind?! Her mind was the only place where she could think or imagine doing something that no one would ever know about. Her thoughts were often darker and tainted than she had ever acted, which made her slightly ashamed of them. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to calm herself down. "You. Read. My. Thoughts?!" She all but shouted angrily at him the moment her eyes opened up again.

Sulpicia's tone was rude, but it did not bother Aro much. He did not like it but he would not say anything against it. After all he wanted to gain her trust she had been upset when she learned what had happen to her. Aro would be patient and hope that she would trust him easily. He truly wanted her trust. Aro was curious as to how exactly she would react to knowing he could read her thoughts. She had not reacted well to anything else he had told her, but perhaps it wouldn't be as bad as before. He was very interested in reading her thoughts knowing exactly what was going through her mind. How she was reacting to everything he said. He would be patient and wait. Perhaps in time she would willingly allow him to read her thoughts. It all depended on how she reacted knowing he could read her every thought and had.
How could Aro not read her thoughts? Even a light touch would allow him to know a person's thoughts. And Sulpicia's had been interesting beyond any other thoughts he had ever read. Every little detail truly fascinated him! "Yes." Aro kept his tone calm even though Sulpicia had been yelling and was angry. He really did not see why she was so upset with this. All it took was one simple touch and he would know so much about any one person. And he had been intently curious as to why he seemed drawn to Sulpicia. Reading her thoughts knowing everything about her had been wonderful!
"Your thoughts truly fascinate me. It's so unusual to have so much interest in one person. But you, my dear, are quiet the exception." Aro had read many thoughts during his life. Marcus and Caius of course, but he had focused mostly on their thoughts on power. He had read his sister's thoughts as well though not often they were not about power so they did him no good. Anything he could learn about power was thoughts he would want to read. And of course those he met. Aro loved learning even small details.

Sulpicia let out a frustrated sigh, mainly with herself. She had never really thought her crueler and darker thoughts would come back to bite her. She pinched the bridge of her nose slightly harder than necessary, letting out a frustrated sigh. She was more frustrated with herself than with him, though would not admit it. But if he happened to just brush against her again he would know, so now she'd probably try to keep her distance from him. That and be a lot more careful with her thoughts, which would probably prove to be rather difficult.
Interested? No one that Sulpicia knew of have been truly interested her, possibly with the exception of her ex-fiancee. Though he might have just been interested because her family had had a little extra money, and money was something that they had needed. Her family had apprently liked him, too, but she just had to be lucky enough to be the closest female to her age. Ha, lucky. It hadn't been too lucky for him when she had decided to cancel the marriage, though, with was something that would have happened anyway now that she was a...vampire.
"How in God's name am I considered interesting?" Sulpicia said, trying to calm down the best that she could. Some people would consider what she had said a curse - but seeing as she had never really believed in any of that type of stuff she gave no thoughts to her words. It was as if she just said anything else, she ignored the 'curse' completely. She kept her muscles tensed at a point where it was nearly annoying, her fingers completely straight and rigid. She was nearly on the verge of lunging for him, though she had no clue how to kill him.
[[Haha. Temper issues.]]

Aro looked at Sulpicia curiously how was she not interesting? How to say just one thing was interesting about her. Everything was. Her thoughts every single insignificant thought had been of great interest to him. Even before reading her thoughts he had felt drawn to her. Like she was the most interesting person on the world. And she was! There not a single detail that he did not find interesting. He knew all there was to know about her, yet it was not enough. He wanted to know her thoughts now that she was changed. He wanted to know what she thought of everything. Everything he had told her, how she was handling this new life, what she thought of him. It would be all so very interesting to him.
"How are you not?" Aro questioned back. Perhaps it was just him that found her interesting. But it was much more than that. Aro had felt drawn to her he had changed her without even thinking about it. Even before he read her thoughts he had cared for her. It was strange and irrational. Aro always thought everything through. He planned every little step to make sure he would succeed. But Sulpicia was different he had not thought about what would happen after he changed her. He did not consider how she would react. Nor how his family may react to him changing a human. Though he didn't care what they thought. He had simply acted on what he wanted. Normally his only focus was power, something he would always want, but Sulpicia had made him focus on her. He had wanted to know everything about her and didn't want her to remain mortal so he had changed her. It had been a quick decision.
"Everything about you fascinate me. You are like no one else I have met." It was very true. No one has ever drawn so much interest before. And certainly someone who would not gain him any power. Sulpicia was far different. She was someone he truly wanted, someone he cared for. It was unusual, but it was a good thing he believed. Aro was intently curious as to what she thought about this. If she was still debating if changing her had been a good or bad choice. He was still looking forward to finding out what her decision will be. He truly wanted her to think this was a good choice and to trust him.

Sulpicia let out a dry, humorless laugh that still ended up sounding rather musical. "How am I not?" Her voice was slightly shrill, and almost rather insane sounding at the same time. There were so many things that came to mind when he said that, but it took her a moment to come up with her best response. "The most interesting thing I've probably ever had to do is cancel a marriage!" Her tone was much more sane sounding now that she had let out that laugh, and even slightly calmer sounding than before. Which was probably a good thing, since sounding like someone who has lost their mind wasn't always the best hting to do.
The only thing fascinating that Sulpicia could think of was probably her middle name, as it's spelling of Elizabeth was rather strange and she was not even sure if it was suppose to be Elizabeth or not. "Really? If I'm 'interesting' what is so interesting about me?" She questioned easily. Two could play this game, and she was most certainly good at it. She could make her words and other people's twist around to sound different from what they were, and sometimes even greatly confuse people. It was something she had always been able to do, why she had always been able to do it she would truly never understand.
[[Ugh. Can't think today.]]

[[Eh, kind of short.]]
Aro listen as Sulpicia's voice changed became much calmer as she told him the most interesting thing to her. There was so much more than that one detail. While it was very interesting she canceled her wedding there was much more. "Perhaps." Aro knew everything about her and her life. He knew every detail, every thought he wanted to know everything about her. Even now he wanted to read her thoughts he wanted to know what she thought about everything. What she was thinking about him changing her if she had decided if it was a good choice or not. He had said he was looking forward to her response and he still was. Growing ever more curious about her answer.
"Everything about you is interesting." Aro answered honestly. Though he figured this simply would not be enough for her. Perhaps reasons. What made Sulpicia so interesting? He was drawn to her that certainly was something. "You seem so very passionate about everything you do. You're artistic, intelligent." There was so much about Sulpicia that was interesting how could she not be of interest to him? Or to anyone. There was so much about her. Her opinions were also something of interest. "You are strongly opinionated about so much it seems. How is any of that not interesting?" There was not a single detail in Sulpicia's thoughts that was not interesting to him.

Sulpicia was debating what to do. Perhaps she could just run off in the opposite direction, though that didn't seem it would work. Aro had appeared to be keeping up with her well, so that did not seem likely to work. If she pushed herself hard enough she might be able to stay out of reach, but nonetheless she would have no where else to go. Which ruined most everything. The thoughts of just running were still irked in her thoughts though, as if just taunting her to run off now. They were very hard to ignore.
That made Sulpicia had to stop and think for a momenet - as it was actually a pretty good answer. That was something that she had not been prepared for, and it made her have to stop and think. A voice in her mind was saying 'what if he's right?' But she refused to listen to it. He couldn't be right! If Aro was right, then the blonde had no idea what she was going to do with herself at the moment. She let out a sigh - as if she had something good in resopnse - and said the quickest thing that came to mind.
"You say that like you have never seen any of those qualities before." Sulpicia said, as if impatient or something like that. Perhaps it wasn't the best thing to truly come back with, but it was going to have to do for now. She did have nothing better to say, and she could always just try to avoid his touch so he would never have to know. Though it may have been slightly obvious in her tone - seeing as it was frustrated - that she did. She hoped he would take it in a different way and it wouldn't be so obvious.
