As time had passed, Marcus had come to find that his feelings for Talia had grown into something he never expected. The reason he had yet to admit or even admit it was due to the fact he didn't want to forget his beloved Didyme. But having the ability of identifying relationships meant that he could see what their relationship had become and he wanted more in his heart. The days he was away from her he wished to be by her side and the castle seemed so dull without her.
Today was the day that he planned on telling her. Marcus couldn't take it anymore and so he had left a message for her to meet him in the gazebo where they'd spent some time awhile. Looking out away from the entrance, Marcus locked his hands behind his back. Waiting was quite possibly the worse part and he needed to be patient but patience was not easy for a vampire that had waited a very long time to find love once more. The biggest thing that he was worried about by being in love with Talia is that she was a human. Unfortunately, Marcus fed from humans so being close to Talia wasn't easy but he had long since found that he didn't want her blood. He only wanted her heart and to get it she needed to be alive.
A rare smile crossed his lips as he thought about how he had watched the young blonde grow and become the woman he knew she would be. But it also made him remember that when he first met her he had wanted her blood. He'd never found a 'singer' until he met her and it had been over 3000 years. Marcus had wanted to drink her blood but he didn't and he never knew why but now it was obvious. He hadn't loved her then but as she had grown and become the beautiful young woman he had grown to love and care about. Marcus raised a brow as he scented of the very woman he was thinking about.

Ever since her parents died Talia had been on her own most of the time. There had been a few people along the way that she’d been able to count on but in the end they had all left her too and she had come to the conclusion that perhaps that was just the way her life was supposed to be. Now, however, she was starting to look at things differently and that was all thanks to Marcus. He had always been there looking out for her, sometimes without her even truly realising that it was him, and after he came clean with her about what he was it had become clear that he wasn’t going anywhere. The two of them had been spending more and more time together lately and if she was honest the thought of being able to spend time with him was the one thing she looked forward to the most. She cared about Marcus, more than she wanted to even admit to herself, and even though she knew that they were two very different people not just because of what they were but also in terms of what they had been through, she still couldn’t bring herself to stay away. He had been there for her when no one else had and she knew better than to push away the one person she could count on, especially when she was pretty sure that she was starting to fall for him. Even the thought sounded crazy to Talia but as she made her way to meet him she could feel in her heart that it was true. Still, the two of them had been spending time together lately but they had been doing so strictly as friends so she knew that she needed to keep that to herself. Marcus’ request to meet had come out of the blue so she wasn’t too sure what was going on but there was only one way to find out and she hadn’t had to think twice about deciding to go. Marcus was a vampire, that much was true, but he was also the same guy who had saved her life more times than she probably even knew before he had truly known who she was. He was a good guy and she trusted him completely. Making her way to the spot he had asked her to meet him at, Talia couldn’t stop a smile from touching her lips as she approached. “Hey,” she said as she reached him. “I got your message, what’s up?”MARCUS VOLTURI

As she grew close he opted to not turn around and instead wait until she had fully arrived and stopped. Taking a breath he felt his unbeating heart warm as he began to realize that what he was about to do was the best thing to ever happen to him. When she stopped behind him, Marcus turned and what he saw before him made the man stop for a moment and just look at her. She was so very beautiful and he couldn't get enough of her.
Clearing his throat of the lump that wasn't really there he greeted her as he always did. "Hello, Miss Dawson. I do hope I didn't distress you with my request." That was one thing that probably would never change about Marcus. He was a proper gentlemen that would always speak as if he was from another time. Mostly because he was from a different time. Marcus smiled at her. "Did you have an enjoyable day?"he asked trying make conversation to help calm his nerves.
Marcus couldn't remember the last time nerves had filled him but it was actually quite nice. "I am sure you are very curious about why I asked to meet you." Marcus stood there eyeing her for a moment waiting to see how she would react to his request. How could he go about telling her how he really felt for her? This should be an interesting interaction.

Talia wasn’t used to having people in her life that she could count on but the truth was that having Marcus in her life wasn’t something that she wanted to take for granted so she was making the most of it while it lasted. Everyone she had ever loved had left her in the end and she would be lying if she said that she wasn’t worried that one day he would too but she knew that she just had to hope that he would choose to stay. He had been looking out for her ever since the day her parents died and she hadn’t understood why he had chosen to save her back then when she had been a complete stranger to him but the two of them had been growing closer since then and that was something that she had been enjoying. She knew that a part of her should probably be scared by the fact that he was a vampire or intimidated by the fact that he was over three thousand years old. If she was honest she still wasn’t entirely sure why he had taken an interest in her when her life always seemed so insignificant but she was still grateful that he had. Why he had wanted to meet her that day was a complete mystery, they had been spending quite a bit of time together lately but something about this felt different and she couldn’t quite put her finger on why that was but she knew that she needed to find out. She hadn’t hesitated in making her way to the spot where Marcus had asked her to meet him and as he spoke she felt a smile touch her lips. “Marcus, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Talia, not Miss Dawson?” she teased. She knew that things would have been very different while Marcus was growing up but as far as she was concerned there really wasn’t any need for him to be so formal around her, not after everything that they had been through together. “I did. I had work earlier but now I have a couple of days off so I’m hoping I might be able to spend at least some of that time with you,” she admitted. There were very few people in her life that she liked to spend her free time with but Marcus was definitely one of those people so she hoped that he would have at least some free time for her. As he spoke again she couldn’t help but feel nervous. A part of her expected him to tell her that he was putting a stop to the time that they had been spending together but she didn’t want to jump to conclusions so instead she nodded. “I am,” she admitted as she took a half step towards him. “What’s going on Marcus?”MARCUS VOLTURI

With a grin, Marcus nodded at her response to him calling her by her last name. "My apologies, Miss Da...I mean Talia. I will try to do better."he said before looking up at her once again. He couldn't help but watch her for a moment. The beautiful woman standing infront of him always made him pleased. As he listened to her speak about work and about being off work and he nodded hoping for the same. "I believe that would be quite enjoyable. Just inform me when and I shall be there."Marcus was more then willing to spend as much time as he could with Talia. Afterall, she was a human and her days were numbered where as his were not. Being a vampire had its advantages but it also meant that any human, like Talia, he met would live a short time compared to him. The thought saddened him but he decided against letting it get to him so he just stood thinking and hesitating on telling her. As she asked for the reason that he had requested to see her, Marcus raised his gaze toward hers and just looked at her. Talia had become so much to him and he just couldn't imagine not having her in his life. "As you have always been curious as to why I saved you continuously as well as why I wish to be with you as much as possible I believe it is time I tell you the turth, Talia." With a step forward Marcus hesitated only a moment though she probably wouldn't notice. "I have come to realize that I can no longer exsist if you are not apart of my life. Talia, I find myself in a place I never thought I would reach since losing my Didyme. But now I know the reason I have survived for so long was so I could meet you." Marcus gave the blonde a true grin, one that he hadn't given anyone since his Didyme. The love he had for her filled him so much that he just wasn't sure how to hold it in anymore. "I have come to find that I love you, Miss Dawson." There it was. Out in the open for her to know and him to worry that she didnt feel the same. TALIA ELIZABETH DAWSON

It had become obvious to Talia pretty quickly that she and Marcus were two very different people. Looking at it objectively they really shouldn’t have much in common and yet she often found herself thinking about him when they weren’t together and she always felt happiest when he was with her. For far too long she had been on her own and she had honestly been starting to think that that was never going to change but Marcus had changed everything not just now but in the past for her as well. He had been there for her over and over again when she had needed him the most and she knew that she was never going to be able to thank him enough for that. She had never understood why he had decided to help her when he could have easily turned his back on her the way that everyone else had but he hadn’t done that, instead he had gone out of his way to help her and now that he was a part of her life properly she finally felt like things were starting to fall into place at last. Naturally the formalities were something that she would quite happily do without but she knew that she just needed to remember that Marcus was from a very different time so she knew that it would take a while to break old habits and it was for that reason that she offered him a smile when he slipped. “It’s ok,” she said, her smile gentle as she looked over at him. Asking him to spend her day off together felt like a big step in a way but Talia knew that there wasn’t any way she would rather spend her day. She and Marcus had been spending more and more time together since she’d learned the truth about him and during that time he had come to mean a lot to her. She had always felt something for him, right from the first time he had saved her, but each time he had disappeared leaving her to wonder if perhaps she had been imagining things after all so she knew that she wanted to make the most of whatever time they were able to spend together before he disappeared from her life once more. “Great,” she said, her smile widening as he agreed to them spending the day together. “How about you meet me at my place around ten?” she suggested, knowing that that would give them plenty of time to figure out what they were going to do that day. Even though he seemed as eager to spend time together as she was, Talia could tell that there was something odd about the way that Marcus was acting and she couldn’t help but wonder if he was perhaps about to pull away from her again but as he said that he couldn’t exist if she wasn’t a part of his life, her eyes widened in surprise. At a loss for words as he said that he loved her, Talia let a hand rest lightly against his cheek as her eyes locked onto his, searching for any sign that he wasn’t being genuine with her but finding none. “It still doesn’t make any sense to me why you did everything you have done for me but I’m glad you did,” she said at last. As far as she was concerned she was just another insignificant human in a population of billions, she knew that there wasn’t anything special about her but she got the feeling that Marcus didn’t share that sentiment. “I’m also glad that we’ve been spending all of this time together because the truth is that I love you too and I think a part of me always has,” she admitted. From the first time he’d saved her she had felt like she wasn’t alone in the world after all and each time after that whatever feelings she’d had for him had started to grow. MARCUS VOLTURI

When Talia gave him a time the old vampire nodded to her. "Ten it is, Miss Talia."he told her. Marcus didn't share much emotion but he was excited and nervous about spending the day with Talia. Especially after he confessed his feelings to the young woman. The ancient vampire was born in a very different time. Back when even courtship was unheard of. Everything was by arranged marriage and the very lucky few were able to marry for love. Marcus was lucky as he had died then married Didyme. Nowadays, people preferred to marry for love. Even if Talia didn't feel the same for him, Marcus wouldn't abandon her. It would hurt but he would stay with her for as long as she wants him to be. As her hand touched his cheek, Marcus looked her in the eyes so he could show her he was being completely honest with her. "One day I will share with you but I can not now."he told the young woman. He knew she didn't think she was worthy but to Marcus she was the world and more. She warmed his dead heart and he could not imagine losing her like he lost Didyme. Listening to her, Marcus was shocked by her admission . Allowing himself to take in a breath, the ancient vampire leader almost couldn't believe that she had just said she loved him as well. The man reached his hand up and laid it over hers and the other wrapped around her waist. How could he believe that he was actually being given the chance to find love again? He couldn't and here he was receiving the chance to be able to fall in love once more. Marcus pulled her close and laid a light kiss on her forehead and just held her close. "Talia, se agapó kai den boreís na fantasteís tin ýparxí mou chorís na tin xechorízeis." The man spoke these words in his native Greek and although he knew she wouldn't understand, he wanted her to know how much she truly meant to him. "Talia, I love you and cannot imagine my existence without you apart of it." Marcus quickly went on to translate the words he had spoken so she knew what he had said. TALIA ELIZABETH DAWSON

Talia’s life had never been perfect, from the day she lost her parents she had found herself going from one awful situation to another but through it all Marcus had been there for her and he had been watching over her. It still astounded her that he had gone to the trouble of doing all of that because as far as she was concerned there really wasn’t anything special about her at all but she knew that she would have died a long time ago without him so she knew better than to take what he had done for her for granted. It had taken a long time for him to show himself and stick around long enough for her to find out that he was more than a figment of her imagination after all but since then they had been spending more and more time together. She hadn’t planned on any of this happening but she had felt a connection to him right from the start and as time went on she had come to realise that it had become something so much more. Now he was one of the few people in her life that she could truly count on and she knew that she wanted to spend as much time with him as she could. “And not a minute late,” Talia said, a teasing smile working its way across her face as she looked over at Marcus. She wasn’t too sure what they would end up doing with their day but she knew that they would figure something out. As Marcus spoke again, Talia found herself nodding. “As much as I want to know I won’t push you. I know you’ll tell me when you’re ready,” she said gently. He had trusted her with the truth about what he was and about his past so she knew that she had to trust him when it came to whatever was on his mind right now as well. As it was she still couldn’t quite believe that he had said that he was in love with her, after all for a long time she hadn’t thought that she was worthy of love but it seemed like that was something that they had in common if what Marcus had said the day they attempted to go and watch a movie was anything to go by. Talia didn’t offer any resistance as Marcus pulled her close and she felt a small smile form on her lips as he kissed her forehead. She knew how fierce he could be when it came to protecting her but in moments like this he was so kind and so gentle and she knew that she was completely safe with him. The next words to leave his lips were ones that she didn’t understand but as he translated them she lifted her gaze to meet his. “You don’t have to worry about that, I’m right here and I’m not going anywhere,” she assured him, unable to deny that she was already starting to think about what the future might look like.
