"i do not need to read your mind to see that you wont do this, but be careful whos side you pick in the end, it could be the last decision you make". this less than suttle threat almost made my rage peak, but Hiedi was in my arms and i did not want to move from this spot. Im sure though that my face showed just how unpleased i was with the threat. "aro, i hate to tell you this, actually, i love to tell you this, but there is no decision to be made, i stand were she stands", i glanced down at her as i said this. "And she is not one for fighting with those who do not deserve destruction, if you go after my brothers family again, for no reason, not only will we both not stand with you, we will fight against you, and you know my brothers family has certain friends that would put your little group of warriors, in danger of not living passed the fight, ill make sure myself that Felix does not".
the face that crossed Aro's face then was absolutly ferious, he tried to stare me down, i stared him down with great verocity. i moved Hiedi behind me and stared down at the pitiful vampire that would soon feel the rage i could not hold back anymore. As i was about to throw him accross the room, hiedi jumped in front of me and pulled my face down to look at her. "You do not want to do this, calm down, you need to calm down". she stared at me and her face becoming really soft. my rage was instantly widdled down to nothing, her eyes were filled with fear, fear that i wouldnt listen. i didn't like her fearing for me. i turned my face from a death stare, to a smile. She smiled back, and so i moved her behind me again. Not so i could attack aro, but so i could glare at him without the distraction of her gleaming smile.
He to was still glaring, but i could see something else in his eyes. Fear, he had sent his best fighters away to south america, and the other vampires around here could not stop me even if they were brave enough to stand in front of me. He knew this, and he started to back down, and out of nowhere he smiled, this didn't help my controll. "I see Elliott that you are full of potential, that if you would only work more to control it, you could be unstoppable, but instead you sit around and waste it, just like your brother, and his other two siblings". "i dont want to be some superweapon Aro, espeacially one that would be pointed at family, no matter how unknown that family is". i started to lose my temper again and hiedi could tell so she gripped my hand harder to let me know to calm down. "You would protect something you know nothing about". i couldn't hold back a hiss, "My brother is there, my brother when we were human, and brother now, no matter what. besides i would know about it if i wasn't stuck here all the time". "You should be greatful for being here".i pulled hiedi behind me and got right in aro's face,"why should i be greatful for being locked up like your prisoner, i ve been here for 100 years, and have not left but once, when my brother showed up last year, that time you wouldnt let me stay, and i still didnt even get to leave the city." i was kept back by Felix and Demitri, in a small building the volturi use to keep jewels, and other things that they've collected over the years. "you know aro, the more you speak, the more i want to leave, so if i were you, i would shut your mouth". i was on the edge now, if Aro didnt shut his lips now, heidi in between us or not, he was going to lose a limb or two. "i will not, you need to learn to respect me". He too must be at the cracking point, if he thought i was going to respect him. "You must be crazy Aro", hiedi said as she turned around to face him. "he wouldn't respect you, even if you weren't the one that keeps him locked up here". as she said this, i started thinking about the situation a little more. There were only a few guard members left, and besides Afton, non of them would be sad to see me go, non the less try to stop me. Apparently Hiedi didnt have too much of a problem leaving, there was no way she was staying here if i was leaving. i wouldn't take that chance with Aro in a rage.
Even if Aro were to send the others after us when they got back, they wouldnt get me back here without tearing me to pieces and then reasemble me when they got back. I turned my back to Aro, hoping he would attack me, so i would have a reason to tear him apart. i grabbed Hiedi's hand and we ran out the door. we both could hear them, not their voices, but their silence. the erie silence that filled the hall as we ran out the door.
