Aro frowned deeply looking to the messenger.

"Go right ahead Felix" said Aro.

Felix moved for the messenger and removed his head.

"What seems to be alarming you, Aro" asked Marcus.

"Sulpicia has been found dead in the tower" said Aro tossing the letter into the fireplace in the room.

"You need another Aro" questioned Caius.

"I can not be leader without out a mate" said Aro then looking over to Alec.

"Alec, do have Heidi bring in the next group...if there is any worthy of living, we may find them there" said Aro.

Alec turned, and walked out of the room through a hall.

"An interesting proposal Aro...finding another mate, outside of the Volturi" said Caius, drawing Aro's attention.

"Know your place Caius, there is no law against finding another mortal mate" said Marcus.

"Of course, forgive me Aro" said Caius, and Aro gave a slight lower of the head; as though nodding, to forgive Caius.

Down the hall a group following behind Heidi entered the room, and two in particular peeked Aro's interest once the feeding had began.

Two teenagers, one a boy and the other a girl; the boy seemed to be fighting against Felix, while also protecting the girl. Aro looked over the girl; she was thin, but still had curves to her body, light brown skinned, and from a distance her hair obviously silky looked dark. Though it was very hard to see her eye color, Aro found himself very attracted to the girl.

"Those two" said Aro.

"Which two" said Caius.

"The mortal who is fighting Felix, and the one he is guarding" said Aro.

"Alec, make sure no harm comes to either of them" said Marcus to Alec standing beside his chair.

Alec walked down through the chaos of the other Volturi attacking some of the mortals in the group, where once he reached Felix; Alec grabbed a hold of his arm.

"Aro wishes the two to live" said Alec.

Felix pulled away his arm from Alec, who'd been planning to strike the fighting mortal. Only a few minutes later, the Volturi had finished their thirst for the blood of the mortals. Which they then removed the remaining bodies of the group out of the room, and the fighting mortal was struggling against Felix still; however, the girl seemed to be unwilling to put up a fight.

"You are an interesting pair, aren't you" asked Aro.

"What do you want? We've already seen what you are, why not kill us" questioned the fighting mortal.

"You've got a lot of spirit...don't you" said Aro.

"What are your names" asked Marcus.

"Well I'm fuck, and she's off" said the fighting mortal, who then received harsh hit upside the head; from Felix.

"Nice to meet you Arcus" said Aro patting the boy on the shoulder, who looked at Aro in disbelief.

"And from what I can tell inside young Arcus' mind, you're Ella" said Aro moving to the girl, whom Alec didn't really have to hold.

She did not look him in the eyes, however, when Aro gently tilted her head with the tips of his fingers underneath her chin; she looked up into his eyes. Her eyes were a brown color, Aro liked them; He thought only of the brilliant auburn color they could become.

"You have beautiful eyes" said Aro placing her hair behind her ear, yet he was surprised to find he could not tell her thoughts as he touched her.

The girl did not reply, but Aro did a small smile at her. He was intrigued by her beauty, and found that it would be interesting to hear her voice when the time would come for it.

"I am giving you a simple offer, to join us...the Volturi, over rulers of the vamprire covens" said Aro.

"What about my sister" said Arcus.

Caius also seemed rather interested in the matter, for he sat up slightly to learn Aro's reply to the boy.

"I'm sure you're aware of the parchment in the glass frame before you entered" said Marcus to Arcus.

"Yes, it had rules...and a little quote of something about all high ranked vampires must have mates" said Arcus pausing, and trying to tell if Aro was serious and then looking to Marcus; who nodded.

"If you just wanted Ella, why bring me along" asked Arcus, looking back to Aro.

"Who better to stay with her as a companion, then her own brother" stated Caius.

"What's in it for me" asked Arcus.

Marcus smirked slightly at Arcus.

"You may receive certain, abilities" said Marcus.

"I'm in" said Arcus without further hesitation, and with that Felix bit Arcus and he cringed in pain.

Arcus' pain caused Ella's attention to her brother.

"Do you accept my proposal, as my mate" asked Aro.

Caius' eyes were looking directly into Ella's own, from the distance apart.

"I do" said Ella looking to Aro.

"Try to keep your eyes open when I do this, it causes less pain" said Aro.

Aro went to the side of her head where he had earlier pushed her hair behind her ear. He lowered his mouth to her neck, and then bit Ella. Ella did not scream, but merely seemed to shake as he bit into her neck. Caius continued to focus his eyes on Ella's own, attempting to get her to think of something other then what Aro was doing.

When Aro's fangs had buried so deeply into her neck, the sweet taste of her blood came to his tongue; which overwhelmed all of his senses, and made him want to continue in drinking the deliciously flavored blood. However, to do so would cost him his new mate.
