Jane and Alec had been hunting for the girl the three brothers wanted dead but hadn't found her yet. They had searched the whole east coast and had not found her or anyone similar. They had just left Florida.

"Alec." Jane called.

Alec was by her side in a single moment. "What do you need me to do?" Alec asked.

"I want you to block out the towns we have visited already on the map so we don't have to see them again." Jane said tossing him a map and black marker.

"Is that all?" he asked.

"For now. I am looking at the social networking sites the girls these days live their lives on checking out some of our potential targets in the next few towns and cities. Now hurry with the map please I'll need it back to mark out our route."

"Can I go hunting first I know you don't like us going alone?" Alec said smoothing the map our over a table.

"I can take a break. Most of these girls seem to be talking about some musical event put on Justin Timberlake whoever he is last night." Jane said.

"Why are you going on to the sites if the girls bug you that much?" Alec asked.

"Because I am looking at all their pictures for the birth mark that was mentioned but most if not all of the pictures are pointless or so blurry I can't tell what's on their arm."

"Come let's get out of here for a while. A good hunt always clears your mind." Alec said opening the hotel room door.

"Fine but if I bag the biggest one you have to pay for gas all day tomorrow." Jane said shutting down her computer.

Alec walked out the door with Jane following him. He paused only to make sure the door was locked. The found their meals in two men who had attacked a girl on her way home. They tossed the bodies into a half full dumpster and torched it just to be sure there wouldn't be any newborn vamps roaming around in three days.

"What are we going to do when we get to the area where the southern wars are or were happening?" Alec asked when they got back to the room.

"We will have to do them and if we don't feel safe going into the area Aro told me to call in Demetri or Felix possibly both if it is bad enough." Jane told him.

"Do you know who our biggest threat down there is?"

"Either a vampire that is known as the 'God of War' or a vampire by the name Maria. There are others but I do not know their names. Now get to work on that map I will be ready for it in an hour." Jane said.

"The 'God of War' I thought we found out who that was?"

"We didn't the vampire claiming to be him didn't have the scars to reflect that of one who has served in war." Jane said. "Now get back to the map. I don't want to have to tell you again."

"I surrender." Alec said knowing that Jane meant that she would inflict excruciating pain on him he had been on the wrong side of her power one too many times before and he would prefer not to be on the wrong end anytime soon.

Alec and Jane were being watched as they moved around their hotel room. The vampire watching them only watched from the shadows dressed in all black attire and a deep blood read cloak. The moonlight glinting of their ruby red eyes as they plotted revenge. It may not be who they wanted revenge on but it would be close enough for now.

They would have to make sure that they would get whatever the Volturi was searching for before they could even get close enough.

It wasn't long before another vampire joined the first, dressed exactly the same way except they wore a deep navy blue cloak. The second vampires stood rigidly behind the first waiting for the correct moment to speak knowing what could happen if he chose the wrong time to speak.

"Your report Rodriguez?" the first vampire asked.

"They only left to hunt. They made no detours the next time they leave I say we break into the room and see what they have." Rodriguez said.

"It will be me that decides what we do next. I will take your idea into consideration. I will also have to speak to the others. It will be their decision not ours because if it had been we would strike tonight but that is not the case."

"Come on Willow. It is time for us to return. The others will not be pleased that we have taken so long." Rodriguez said.

"Where are we to meet them?" Willow asked.

"At the high school off of Third Street the last I heard."

"Then we will have to Third Street and wait for them." Willow said. "They would get angry if we are not there when they arrive."

"Do you know why they have chosen the high school to meet?" Rodriguez asked.

"No I am the one that asked you where we are to meet them but my guess would be that it's closed this time of night therefore giving us ample privacy." Willow said.

The two vampires walked into the gymnasium where all the others of their coven waited in cloaks of deep red and blue also. They stood in a circle with a woman in the only deep emerald green cloak stood in the center of the circle with her arms out wide and her head facing the rafters.

Willow slipped into her spot with the other red cloaks and Rodriguez slipped into his spot with the blue cloaks. Once willow and Rodriguez were both in their spots the woman in the center stood up straight and put her arm down to her side turning to look out at her coven members that were more like followers.

"Willow, Rodriguez you are late." The woman said.

"We are sorry mistress. The targets only left once and that was just before this meeting." Willow said. "You wanted us to watch them so we watched them while the drained to men and went straight back to their hotel room to do have no clue what."

"You must discover what they are up to. The Volturi are never in the states for long unless they are up to something." The woman said in her thick accent.

"Yes Mistress Maria." Willow said.

"We already planned on finding out what they are up to." Rodriguez said.

Both of the vampires bowed to Maria before being dismissed.
