Fear of the Unknown.
Chapter 10 - The Volturi's Hideout.
The Volturi finally arrived back at the huge romanised building, where Aro, Marcus and Caius led the way into the main hall room. Demetri, Felix, Alec and Jane also followed, as the three leaders began to discuss what their next plan of action was going to be.
"What should we do with our two hostages?" Marcus asked, as he looked at Aro and Caius for an answer.
"Isn't is obvious? We kill them." Caius said, with no emotion what-so-ever in his tone of voice.
At the back of the room stood Alec and Jane, both silent as they watched the three leaders have their discussion. Demetri and Felix were stood near the door, both holding Bree and Samantha D hostage until their fate was decided.
Time seemed to stand still for Bree and Samantha, who were both getting more nervous by the minute, unsure about what their fate was going to be. Both of the girls hoped that they would be allowed to leave, but in their minds, they knew that probably wouldn't happen.
Samantha turned her head slightly to face Jane and Alec, the two now muttering to each other about the day's events. Jane however, caught sight of Samantha looking at the two of them, and Samantha quickly looked away. Alec, who had his back to Bree and Samantha turned to face the two girls, just as Aro, Marcus and Caius stood up and addressed the people in the room.
"We have come to a decision." Aro confirmed. Both Bree and Samantha looked on nervously at the three leaders.
The two girls could tell what the answer was straight away, from the evil smirk on Caius's face. Bree shuddered a little, as Samantha D tried to escape. However, Felix dragged her back with little strength.
"Aro, might I say something?" Alec said, as he took a step forward.
"You may." Aro said.
Alec bowed his head in politeness, before continuing. "Don't you think that it might be a better idea to keep them both alive? I mean, they could both come in handy for information about the rest of them."
"Yes, but brother, we have Demetri to track the others down." Jane confirmed.
Demetri smiled a little after being mentioned by Jane, however, Aro held up his hand, and the room was once again silent. "Jane, your brother has a point. That was one way we didn't think of to deal with the current situation."
Jane simply stared straight ahead. Samantha thought that Jane seemed to be annoyed over something, but she couldn't be sure. "What should we do with them, Aro?" Demetri asked, as all eyes turned to Aro once more.
Before Aro spoke, both Samantha and Bree looked at Caius, who was glaring at them both in frustration. It was clear to them that Caius wasn't a huge fan of the current change in decision.
"I may need time to think about the matter. For now, place them both in the dungeons." Aro ordered. Both Felix and Demetri bowed their heads in politeness before leaving the room, with the two girls still held in their grasps. On the way, neither Felix nor Demetri spoke, as they led the two girls down a very long corridor. On the way, the four of them passed Heidi who was leading a group of tourists through the building. Demetri and Felix simply smiled at her as they walked by.
At last, the four reached the staircase leading down to the dungeons, and as Samantha and Bree led the way down the stairs, Felix pushed them both from behind, almost causing the two girls to lose their balance. However, they managed to keep upright, as the two walked into the cold and dark prison cell. Demetri and Felix closed the cell and locked the gate, as the two made their way back upstairs.
No matter what happened to her, all Samantha now thought about was her other coven members, and their safety. Little did she knew however, that soon, everything was about to change.
