A Push in the Right Direction

I own nothing of the Twilight series, all is copyright to Stephanie Meyer.

"Isabella. He said in a whisper. I looked up, my fiery red eyes glowing. I was kneeling next to him in an instant, my gray cloak falling slowly by my ankles; it was my only give away that I had moved.
"Yes Caius?" I whispered in his ear, though it wasn't necessary, no other vampire was within ear shot.

"I have a special task for you my dear." He mumbled, his eyes never looking at me.

I nodded. "Anything..."

"You've heard of the Cullen's correct?"

"Only whispers from the others sir, they say they're vegetarians. Is that right?"

"Very," he mumbled. "Now there is a certain special Cullen we've had our eye on for sometime, but he's been causing trouble lately and we're afraid he's going to expose us, all of us."

"He's a fool then to think we wouldn't stop him," I growled.

"He's no fool Isabella!" Caius scolded, looking at me for the first time with his deep burgundy eyes. I flinched back from their intensity. He held me there for a minute, locked in his gaze, for I couldn't turn away. Then he flickered his eyes back to their normal position.

"He wants us after him; you see we have something he wants."

"What? What could we have taken that makes him so desperate?" I asked, planning to use it against the poor beast.

"It's nothing my Isabella... All I need you to do is get rid of him! If at all possible get him back here alive, but if their is no chance of that don't bother."

"Am I to take anyone with me?"

"No... Only you my dear."

I blinked in surprise, no one went out on mission by themselves except on very weak opponents, yet how Caius described this one he sounded stronger than average.

"Hurry now; we don't want him to cause us anymore trouble." I nodded and turned toward the door,

"Wait sir, what's his name?"

"Edward... Edward Cullen."
