I could see them now. Two female vampires. One had short bobbed black hair and the other had long hair that looked like quicksilver in the shade and they smelt of pine. I stayed hidden, watching, waiting for their next move. The black haired one tilted her face to the sky and sniffed the air delicately. She was looking for me. I closed my eyes…
'Follow me'
Both their heads snapped round and I felt their eyes on me. I had told them where I was but they couldn't do anything about it. Slowly I began my walk back to the Volturi, taking care to keep to the shadows so the women would too.
Aro was waiting for me when I returned.
'Ah Marcus, you came back, I was afraid you would stay away.'
'It was tempting.'
He laughed as if he enjoyed being spoken to like that. Aro hated disobedience almost as much as I hated him. We stared at each other for a moment, our eyes locked and as usual not understanding the other. I could feel the women glaring at me but unable to move by themselves yet. I was fed up.
'I'm going downstairs.' As if I needed an excuse to leave Aro.
The minute I retracted my power the black haired woman leapt forward and crashed gracelessly into the floor. I turned on her.
'I'm leaving. I don't want to fight you; it would be a waste of my energy. If you want to hit someone that badly hit him.' I gestured vaguely at Aro 'You'd be doing me a favour.'
This was the longest thing I'd said in a very long time. Aro stared at me. I turned my back on them all when the blonde haired woman spoke.
'Then why are you here? It seems pretty pointless don't you think? Do you even think for yourself or is even that beyond you? You're just the Volturi's dog, doing their bidding so the ancients don't get their hands dirty!'
Aro snickered.
Without turning round I replied in my normal flat tone.
'I am Marcus, one of the three Volturi ancients.'
'I'm Didyme and…' she started.
'I don't care.'
With that I walked off back to the peace and quiet of my room…
Authors Note: Wow I've written a second chapter. It's quite a bit shorter than the first but I think it's quite good… Well that's Didyme introduced now lets see what Genko-Bree (my muse) and I can come up with. Hope you're enjoying the story so far ^^
