AN: This is the first chapter of the alternate ending of my Fanfic, "Nothing Left to Lose" :) This chapter begins where chapter five of NLTL finishes. Okay, so I'm going to need at least 2 reviews on this chapter to let me know if you want me to continue it :D

Aro continued walking down the hallway, away from the throne room. "This isn't good…" He said out lout; luckily, no one was around to hear him. "If they decided to leave, to join another clan…" He laughed; a laugh filled with pure madness. "My, then the consequences would be rather…unfortunate…" He stopped walking abruptly, and leaned against the cold, stone wall. "Caius…let's face it; I doubt anyone would miss him…" He chuckled darkly to himself. "Athenodora, however, is such a joy to have around…" He raised his hand and began to rub his forehead, as though deep in thought. "Hmm…Well, it seems that I must prepare plans immediately…" With that, he straightened up, and drifted down the ancient hallway.
Marcus was sitting in the dungeon, thinking; something he seemed to be doing a lot of lately. The dark, old dungeon was the only place in the entire Volturi castle that he could be alone; just to think, with no one nagging him or whatnot. He rested his head in his hands as memories of Didyme flooded his mind: Her long, raven black hair, sparkling red eyes…Until he noticed a slight change in Caius' and Aro's relationship. His head shot up as he saw exactly what had changed; Caius still wasn't very fond of Aro, But Aro's relationship with Caius just went from slight dislike to something far worse. Murderous. "No." He said out loud in disbelief; this is the first time in about 1,000 years that their relationship has changed this abruptly. He shot up the staircase, without a second thought. Unfortunately, he failed to realize that Aro's relationship with someone else had changed dramatically, as well.
Aro sat at the old Mahogany desk in his office, his head in his hand, thinking. "Should I just get rid of them both…? No, that would be too suspicious; Caius wouldn't give up without a fight, especially when Athenodora is involved…" He thought to himself, weighing his options carefully, just like he always does, to wrinkle out any problematic obstacles. He sat there for a few more moments, tapping his free hand on the desk. Suddenly, he chuckled darkly to himself. "…Yes…that should do quite nicely…"

PS: You get a cookie if you guess whose relationship has also changed with Aro :D
