Chapter 11

"Aro, don't you think it is time to go get Jane and Alec back? It was Caius who told them to destroy Sulpicia anyway," Marcus tried to explain, his usual monotone taking on a concerned tone. He failed to add that they did not completely destroy Sulpicia, only rip her apart. He wanted peace and quiet as much as Caius did and he wasn't above keeping her locked away for a few years.

Aro continued to pace and then sighed, "Not yet. No, not yet. We cannot be hasty. They will think we actually want them back..."

"But we do."

"I know that! I just want them to think they are coming back to us, not us going to get them back," Aro explained but it just made Marcus confused.

Marcus sighed, "I wonder..."

"If you ask yourself 'I wonder what Styx is doing right now' one more time, I am going to beat you over the head with your own arms," Aro exclaimed loudly and pointed an accusing finger at Marcus. "You are head over heels for that girl. Why not go see her?"

Marcus shrugged, "She has her family. I do not want to intrude."

"If we formally invite ourselves in, it will not be intruding," Aro said smartly and stopped pacing for a moment, "Huh... it has been a while since I've seen Styx. I think we should go visit... just for a day or two, hmm? Then we shall return and set out to find Alec and Jane."

"It has come to my attention," Marcus said softly, "that it is possible they may join another coven."

Aro scoffed, "What? That is impossible. They are loyal only to the Volturi..."

"They are no longer part of the Volturi, Aro," Caius mused. "You have pushed them away. They are only children. They will seek a home... and family. I suggest we write to all the major covens, to ask their whereabouts, and then we go fetch them after we are done with our visit to the Romanians."

Aro began pacing again, his fingertips together as he thought, "Alright... it is settled. It is time we gave our friend Styx a visit."

Short chapter but it gives the Volturi and the Romanians a reason to meet up. Let's hope it ends better than we think it will. Also, apparently Marcus talks and thinks about Styx a lot. Ohh... thing's be heating up. Till next time.
