#Edward just orders her “Don't leave” – point for Felix.

"I've stalked you to protect you against your consent".

#To be fair #Felix isn't as nearly as bad as Edward Cullen. They're both god awful but let's actually compare cause it's fun. #Felix is actually speaking to her #Edward just orders her “Don't leave” – point for Felix. #And #after he's flat out told he's being a creep #he actually apologizes. #Bella never actually called him out in the scene #so we don't know how he'd react. #However #Half a point. Lastly #point for Edward – he showed up when he was actually needed. Felix just... kidnapped her. #And yeah #they're not comparable. Felix is a teenage sentimonster and Edward is a 109 vampire. #But 1) this is a joke about the horrible recurring theme #and 2) still HORRIFIC This is still shown as just a silly mistake. #The show is telling us “if he's a stalker that's not a deal breaker”. The parallel to the real world is unacceptable. #anti twilight #anti edward cullen #twilight critical #tw stalking #miraculous ladybug critical #anti miraculous #anti miraculous ladybug #anti felix #anti feligami #anti felix fathom

Where You Belong (2/?)

Read part 1 first. My AO3 page https://archiveofourown.org/users/Marcus_Is_Sexy

No warnings, just a vampire death. This is NOT beta'd so please be kind.

Aro turned to look at Caius, then Marcus and sly expression on his face. "Marcus it seems that your mate, the lovely Isabella, has quite an extraordinary power. Not only is she a shield, but she can project it and shield others over great distances. No wonder I can't read your mind."

There was a small interruption as Edward tried to stand up, but Felx kicked him the back of his knees to make sure he stayed put, while keeping his arm securely around his throat.

Aro continued, "You both understand the other needs to heal. I see endless nights of reading books and long conversations, yet you are both happy."

Marcus felt immense relief as he had no romantic feelings for his new mate. While he wanted to keep her safe and happy, he could never love another the way he loved Didyme.

The relief that flooded Bella massive. After almost being violated one night after the Cullen's left she had absolutely no interest in anyone touching her. Besides, she just turned eighteen and he was obviously an old man. She ached to not be alone, to be connected to others without any pressure of intimacy.

Aro left out that he saw them about a century later building upon their physical intimacy. There was love between them and it only grew stronger.

"See no one wants to fuck you. If you beg me, maybe I'll take you back." Edward sneered.

Bella all but crawled inside of herself, hurt by his words and utterly embarrassed. There was a blur of movements and it took her a few moments to understand what was happening.

Edward was on the floor in pain, Caius was in front of Bella, "You do not talk to a king's mate in such a manner." Marus stood over Edward, holding his head back ready to rip it off. Alice was begging them to stop as Alec held her back.

"That's enough Jane." Aro said and shook his head. We wanted to be kind to your creator, but you have crossed a line. You shall get what you originally wanted. Death."

Marcus looked at his mate, Bella, as Demetri handed him a lit torch. "Would you like to assist me Bella?"

"No, Bella. Please don't." Alice moaned. Bella couldn't believe how much the Cullens have betrayed and hurt her. She sneered at the pathetic woman and walked in front of Edward and held onto the torch with Marcus. Edward began to beg for his life, but Felix put one hand in his mouth and pulled back his head, leaving the lower set of teeth attached to his neck. Marcus helped Bella light him on fire and pulled her back quickly. The smile on her face as he burned to ash was brighter than it has ever been.

"You bitch." Alice screamed.

"Send her to the dungeon until we decide what to do with her." Caius ordered and two other men walked in and dragged her off, while she screamed the whole way.

"You are quite brave, Bella." Marcus said in awe, hoping that helped her feel she got a bit of revenge.

"Thank you. Marcus" She only knew his same because the other king had said it aloud.

"Welcome to Volturi" Aro tilted his head, walked over and held out his hand. Bella put hers in his once again.. This time he gently kissed the back of her hand. "I'm Aro. I know Sulpicia will want to meet you as soon as possible."

"Yes, welcome. That was quite brave of you to burn him. I know Athenodora will want to hear every detail."

"That is Caius", Marcus added. Bella nodded at both kings then looked at the others in the throne room.

"These are our trusted top guards." He pointed to each one and they nodded at Bella. "Felix has great strength and is quite amazing to see in battle. Demetri is the best tracker, there is nothing he can't find. Jane and Alec are twins, she has the power of illusion of pain and he can take away all five of your senses."

Each of the guards studied Bella, she was not at all who they thought Marcus would ever find for a mate. She was young, not educated in any worldly knowledge, and clearly had no self esteem. The future that Aro had seen from the dead Cullen meant that they would be good for each other. They shall wait and see. While they would protect her at all costs now, their true allegiance was still to Marcus first over her.

"Let's take a walk, I'll show you to our quarters and answer all questions you have." Bella nodded and walked alongside Marcus. "Oh, Demetri please find Heidi and bring her to me. Bella will provide her with a list of needed items, food, and clothes." Demetri nodded and rushed off to fulfil his master's request.

"Marcus stopped to look at Bella. After I give you my history you will understand why I want to change you immediately. Aro and Caius wives' are heavily guarded, even though they can protect themselves. It will give me great relief to know you are not in danger"

Bella nodded getting the feeling Marcus had a tragic story. "I should have died that first day of school in Forks. I was supposed to be crushed by two cars, but Edward saved me. I never felt normal or that I belonged. I always feel that I shouldn't have lived and was out of place."

Marcus cointjued walking with Bella telling the tale of his long second life and the loneliness.

In this story, Didyme was killed during a battle, Aro was just as heartbroken as Marcus, but had to be strong for him. He made sure their wives were always protected after that, extra guards, though they could easily take care of themselves. Afterall they also trained for battle as well.

Eventually Bella and Marcus will develop into a romance, but right now he needs time to heal and deal with the guilt of betraying Didyme. Bella needs time to figure out who she really is, what her gift is, and how to trust again.
