Ti amerò per sempre

After arriving in Egypt Addy looked around, surprised at how good it felt to be back.

Dawn bought supplies before they headed out to adventure.

Dawn - Race you!

Addy - You're on!

Dawn beat Addy to the Sphinx.

Addy -  Last time I granted me access because I was cursed but we'll have to find another way in this time, I'm pretty sure this was were the door was, if I could just figure out how to open it. 

Addy - Got It.

Addy - Come on.

Addy - This panel shut off most of the fire traps but we still can't get past this one, we'll have to swim.

They each dived in on opposite sides.

Addy - Hey Dawnie, see the spot infront of that section of wall?

Dawn - Yea.

Addy - How much you wanna bet there's a hidden door there?

Dawn - One way to find out.

The door opened into a room that had the keystone needed to move on though the tome.

Addy looked up at the statue she had prayed to in her previous trip and started to feel faint. She stared into it's eyes and the gentle glow grew brighter the longer she looked until she couldn't anymore.

Dawn gasped in concern as her friend fell to the ground.

Addy felt like she was floating and a gentle breeze brushed against her skin bringing the smell of cherry blossoms to her nose. She opened her eyes to behold the land of her visions. She held her hand to her chest, he was there, she could feel it. 

Dawn had taken her back to the hotel and put her on one of the beds.

Dawn - What's going on in that head of yours Addy?

Pulling away  from the kiss she looked into his eyes.

Addy - Oh, mon amour, I've missed you so much.

Anthony - I know. I've missed you too mia cara, but I've been watching over you.

He sat down and beckoned to her.

Anthony - Sit with me.

She happily sank down next to him.

They just sat there for a while, not saying anything, just being near. She scooted closer to him and leaned over to rest her head on his shoulder but he pulled away, sighing. She looked at him questioningly.

Anthony - Addy...
His voice was full of sadness and pain and her heart sank knowing she didn't want to hear what he was about to say.
Anthony - I love you,so much, so much...
Addy -You don't have to tell me that, I know, so why are you?
Anthony -  I want you to be happy.
Addy - I am happy. I can see you again. I, I can be with you again.
Anthony - No, no, you can't. 

Addy - I-I don't understand. My visions, now that they've returned you can come to me and

Anthony - No! I can't, I can't do that to you. I'm gone, and, and I can't let you keep holding on to something that isn't there. You need to let go,you, you need to move on. 

Addy - No! No...noo

Anthony - Yes,I had hoped you would see it for yourself but I realize now that the only way you'll accept this is if it's from me. 

The smile she had had before was gone, Dawn knew her friend was upset, but she didn't know why.

Dawn - Addy? Addy, you need to wake up.

Addy -No!!

He wipes the tears from her face.

Anthony - Please don't cry, you have to know this is hard for me but I just want whats best for you. I want you to be happy.

Addy - I am happy, with you.

Anthony - You need to let someone else make you happy now. Please.

Sadly,she nods.

Addy - Alright, I won't run away if I met someone.

Anthony - If?  You already have. I told you I've been watching and I know you've been denying you'r feelings because of me.

She remained silent.

Anthony - I don't want you to be alone, say you'll give him a chance.

Addy - I promise.

Addy - Can I at least have one last kiss?

Anthony - Ti amerò per sempre,I will always love you. Farewell, Adella, mia dolce.

Addy - Goodbye,mon amour.

By the time Addy came to Dawn had fallen asleep. She sat there in silence, thinking over everything, soaking it all in. She walked over and gently shook her best friend.

Addy - Dawnie, wake up.

Dawn - You're up. Are you alright? You we crying.

Addy - I'm fine...I'm ready to go home.

Dawn - Did ,um ,did you...

Addy - I had a vision, yes.

She rang the doorbell and waited for the answer.

Ethan Adella.

Addy - Hi...

Aphrodite

Reader POV

Ivy put her son Jackson upstairs with Julian before while she was talking with Addy. Aphrodite's birthday was the next day and she was hoping they could have a party there because it was bigger then her families own home.

~**~

Meanwhile Aphrodite had slipped out to meet up with Blake.

Blake - Hello dear.
They didn't say much for a while after that and just enjoyed being together.

Blake - I know I won't be welcome at your families party so I thought it best to give you this now. I want you to wear it tomorrow.

Aphrodite - What is it?

Blake - Your crown, my Queen.

Blake - You need to go now.

Gently pulling her close he kissed her goodbye.  

Dartay - There you are. I don't like you sneaking out like this Aph.

Aphrodite - I can take care of myself Tay, you know that, just like I'm sure you know where I was. 

Aphrodite -Why do you care anyways?

Dartay - I'm your sister.

Aphodite - So? It's not like you need to protect me, especially not from him, not like Victoria.

Dartay - W-what? 

Aphrodite -  If Anything I protected you. What, you thought I didn't know about that? Oh come on Tay, I know everything. Did you think it was some lucky coincidence I convinced him to stay in town, gave her more time? Honestly Dartay, I thought you where smarter than that.

Dartay - You're just manipulating him?

Aphrodite - You were only part of the reason, she was right, he wouldn't wait for me and I couldn't go with him so...

Dartay - So you still intend to go with him?

Aphrodite - Yes.

Dartay - Why?

Aphrodite - He's sweet, to me at least, smart, and so evil. And because, like him, I want power, I want control. I want to be queen.

Heading inside Aphrodite went to her magick room, just like Alissa, Aphrodite is a witch as well as a vampire, with one major difference, Alissa is good.

Using her crystal to spy Aphrodite focuses in on Dawn. 

"Is... is that what I think it is?"

Aphrodite - Hmm. Congratulations.

~**~

The next night Dartay and Ivy both seemed... excited, for Aphrodite's birthday.

Ivy and Mason's family as Dawn and Newbie came to Addy's to see Aphrodite age into a young adult.

She was completely engulfed in red sparkles and bats.

She knew he was around somewhere, she could sense it and was sure she wasn't the only one.

Aphrodite - Doprava.

Aphrodite - I don't care what they say, I want you here.
She took his hand and led him back up to the house.

Addy completely freaked out.

Dawn's reaction was more contained.
(O_O)

Mason - What are we going to do?

Ivy - We.. we said we wouldn't stop her. We probably couldn't if we tried.

Mason pulled his wife close and held her as she began to cry.

Aphrodite - I hope you're not trying to think of how to stop me. You know you can't.

Ivy - Aphrodite, please don't do this. You're supposed to learn from my mistakes, not repeat them.
Aphrodite - I said before, just because it was a mistake for you doesn't mean it is for me. I love you mom but this is my decision and I've already made up my mind.

Ivy - Alright, I don't like it but I love you and I want you to be happy. It's obvious there is nothing I can say or do to convince you, I just hope you don't get hurt.
Aphrodite - I won't.
Aphrodite pulled away to see the smirk on Ivy's face as the sun rose higher into the morning sky. The magick of the bloodline made it that they were not as effected by the sun as most vampires but Blake would need to get inside, they couldn't leave. 

Blake - We need to get inside.
Aphrodite - Take my hand.
She waited for him to do so then said the teleportation spell.
Aphrodite - Doprava.
A moment later they were standing in Addy's guest house and she walked into the side room without a word.

Aphrodite - What do you think?
Blake -  Stunning.

Aphrodite - I wanted to change into something more suited to a vampire queen.
