~Hey, lady starlet here, I've been really busy with college and other personal issues that have come up in the last part of this year. But, I'm updating with four more new chapters till winter break comes around so that you will have a decent amount of reading to look forward to. As always, please review guys when you are done, I'm really missing your feedbacks on how the story is so far processing with each new chapter that is added. I'm looking forward to your feedback. Thank you!
Chapter 36
"Alec, we need to talk." Caius announced as he walked into the living room. Alec looked up from the TV show he had been watching. "Yes, master?"
Caius sat down next to him and crossed his arms over his chest. "Can you contact the werewolf tribe that you had mentioned last week?" He asked as Alec turned off the television.
"Yeah, I can do that. How soon do you want me to do it?" He replied. "I think that they would be more than willing to help since me and sis remembers them from long ago with mother." He leaned back against the couch with one arm dangling from the back of the head rest. "If Aro is willing to wait until sis gets back from Greece, I'll be able to go and talk with their leader."
Aro raised an eyebrow. "That won't be until two days from now, Alec. We need to get this done and over with as soon as possible with very little attention drawn to us."
"I know, just give me some time and I''ll see what I can do about it, Master." Alec said in a relaxed tone.
Caius smiled wanlly as he got up. "Well, me and Rina are going out for a bit today. I'll call you if i hear anything new while we are out."
Rita and Corrin flickered into the room. "Are we going with you, master?" Corrina asked while getting her leather jacket from the coat closet.
"Yes, I think she may want to do some shopping today, so it will be good for you two to see what you can get for the twins birthday."
~Greece~
The mother priestess stared down at her reflection pool with a vacant look on her face. The mirror was showing her images that were disturbing and unsettling.
Blood, fire everywhere, screaming of dying soldiers and citizen alike drew her mind in all directions as the priestess pulled her mind toward a burning temple.
"Mother priestess?" Whispered one of her fellow sisters nearby.
"What is it, Cleo?
Cleo got up from a nearby chair and came over to where the mother priestess sat. She gazed into the clear water silently for several minutes before looking away to the vacant face next to her.
"I think we need more time to think about your offer to help the Volturi coven. What if they, in the end, decide to turn on us after the battle is over? You don't really know much more about this woman and what she is truly capable of doing to others." Cleo said softly. "Perhaps we should test her first." She added with a side glance at the water.
The mother slowly sighed. It was true that they didn't really know the full extent of the story, but what she knew at the moment, was enough for now. "We are all going to France to help the Volturi. I'm not going to dishonor my promise of aid. But, you maybe right about testing the woman first. I will personaly handle the test myself while you go and prepare the sisters for what is to come."
Cleo bowed her head in respect and departed from the meditation room. There was much to take care of and prepare and they needed all the help that they would be able to find elsewhere.
