Strongest

One Shot by Lauren Jackson

Did he realize how strong he could be?

The power he holds?

Does he know he can crush a tiny little human's head with his pinky finger?

What about love?

Do you think the strongest of strong could love someone?

Even with a tiny heart and huge muscles, that big lump of vampire, could and does – love.

You ask who would love him.

Well maybe someone who is as strong as him. Someone who loves a man who can fight.

What if the Master did not approve?

He would take her into a dark corner. Even though she was his mate, she distracted him from his work.

Aro did not approve of Felix's love for Emma.

He would take her to that dark corner and a dark room – all alone.

He would crush and kill her. Turn her into vampire dust.

Crush her head. Break off her helpless arms. Crack her tiny little lady legs off. Burn her to ashes. Burn her until that sweet smell would fill the halls of the castle.

Felix was not happy of what Aro did in that dark corner in that dark room.

He ran out of the castle in rage. He was so angry he fed that night like he never fed before. Drinking blood to calm him – which did not work a bit.

Rampage ran through Volterra. Mast murders were popping up all over the city.

Families in fear. Quaking in their boots. When they can't even afford a crumb of bread, they have to watch out for their families.

He did not know what he was doing. Feeding, planning – Feeding on poor souls and planning against Aro, wanting to take him down. Wanting to kill him. Do what he did to her. Burn him. Crush and kill him.

But Aro did not approve of all Felix's killings, but he did not let the others know.

He called Felix back to the castle. No one was there. They went to clean up stupid Felix's mistakes.

He is no longer the strongest. No longer the most threatening to all life.

Maybe because death, real death, brought him troubles.

Aro was once proud of his guard. But then he found love and became careless.

So he simply took him into the dark empty castle.

He was not expecting what Aro was going to do.

In that instant of complete silence, in that instant when He didn't know what Aro was going to do, all Felix heard was, "You were strong – so sad you had to disobey."

And he heard a crack.

His body fell to the ground. His body burned up in the flames and for a second time, the sweet smell filled the Volturi Castle.

But you think it ends there?

More and more. More, more and more killings appeared.

The Guard still has not returned.

Aro grew angry.

The Guard turned against him. Leaving him to burn up in anger. Swelling with rage, Aro killed himself.

And the world burns to a crisp from vampire rage in 3043.
