Vampire Hunter (A Twilight Story) - Season 2 - Episode 10

It suddenly occurs to me that the Volturi are outnumbered and judging my Aro’s face he realizes this. He turns back to his guard so he’s infront of him and I have a horrible feeling I know what is coming. Jane’s face becomes one of glee as the others wait for an order. At the thought of what is to come I find myself drawing away from the Volturi, slowly but surely. I look up at Felix’s face as he watches Aro but it isn’t with the same respect and adoration it once was. His stare is significantly colder and distant. I haven’t failed to notice that we are slightly separate from the guard now both in proximity and mind.

Aro’s voice is soft, almost loving when he speaks. “We are outnumbered, dearest ones. We can expect no outside help. Should we leave this question undecided to save ourselves?” he asks as he looks into each of their faces.

“No, master.” They whisper in unison. Felix and I hold our tongue’s though it is a struggle for the both of us. The bond, while weaker, is still there. I hold onto his hand a bit tighter and lean into his side as he sq££zes back. He is no longer blind to the Volturi’s true colours.

“Is the protection of our world worth perhaps the loss of some of our number?” He asks.

“Yes. We are not afraid.” They say truthfully.

“Protection, there is no threat from the girl.” I say strongly. “This will just be a useless and senseless massacre Aro. Stop this!” While I may not like most of them I know many are being used and manipulated and I hope, in vain, that some may heed my words. Walk away from this fight but one glance at their faces tells me that it is useless. They will die for Aro when he would never do the same. Aro looks at me for a moment, amused and confident. He almost seems to say Nice try. He beams at his guard like a father does his children before speaking, ignoring my statement.

“Brothers, there is much to consider.” He says, his tone low and serious now.
Caius walks forward eagerly, his eyes swimming with the desire to kill. “Let us counsel.” He sneers as he glances ruthlessly at the others.

“Let us counsel.” Marcus repeats in an apathetic voice, his eyes still hazy and uncaring.
They gathered together quickly and immediately touch hands, speaking so no one will hear them. Felix looks down at me and nods almost imperceptibly telling me that if and when this came to a fight he was behind me…and I was behind the Cullen’s. I was still bound but I had a feeling the instant the attack insued I could break it, I just needed that last nudge. My response to Kate was enough evidence. I knew the attack would commence any second and the two of us waited silently, preparing. I touched the spot where I could feel the sleek silver necklace on my chest knowing we were in this together till the end.
