Chapter 50

"Jane and Alec!" Cried Aro with open arms. "We were just talking about you two."

"Indeed, master." Jane growled as she sent a scathing expression toward Felix. Crossing her arms, she said, "Why did you allow my brother leave for the forest without any protection? Don't you even realize that what could have happened to him? He could have died, you total lope sided idiot!"

Felix non-too gently pushed Demteri forward. "Well, you tell her what Alec told you." The Italian shot him his own death glare as everyone began to feel the sudden rise of tension between the three as Alec tried to intervene.

"Guys, your getting this all out of proportion. I went on my own accord and told them to just watch for my return when it was the second day."

"You allowed him to go into a place full of black magic!" Jane yelled as she slapped Felix across the face. Demetri tried to get between the two before it turned really ugly. "That was totally uncalled for, young lady." Demetri said as he dodged her fist at his own face.

"Caius." Aro simply nodded toward the trio before them. "Get them apart before we lose Jane to her temper." Turning around as if remembering that the priestess were right behind them, observing the scene before them; he bowed his head and offered his arm to the mother priestess. "lets going inside and have a talk about what has happened since you took Rina here, shall we?"

Nadia accepted the offered gesture. "Of course. Right this way, please."

Caius watched them leave. He turned his attention back to his personal bodyguards as they continued to bicker back and forth with Jane and her brother on what had happened to to him.

"If I wasn't part of Aro's personal guard and you two looking over Rina and the twins, I would have ripped your heads off and thrown it to the dogs."

"Oh yeah? Well maybe its just as well that you and your brother isn't really welcomed among certain clans since your human pasts is nothing but filled with sorcery."

"Don't you dare bring me into this, you asshole!"

Demetri smirked mirthlessly. "And what exactly are you going to do about it, Alec?" He goaded the younger vampire. "Use your ability on me? Go ahead and see what happens to you afterwards when the masters hear of this." He pushed a finger into Alec's chest. "If I didn't look out for you when you needed it the most years ago, young one," He said in a very controlled voice. "You and your sister would have not been alive if it wasn't for me and Felix."

"And what exactly do you mean by that, Demetri?" Caius said as he choose the perfect moment to speak up suddenly.

Demteri quickly stepped away from Alec as he mummbled something like an apology. "Er, it was nothing, master." He replied.

Alec rubbed his neck nervously. "Yeah, it was nothing."

Caius crossed his arms over his chest and raised a single eyebrow at everyone. His queen laid an warning hand over his shoulder as she continued to watch cautiously from behind him.

"I think you owe us an explanation by what you had just said, Demteri." She said softly. "What do you mean by saving his and Jane's life?"

Felix opened his mouth to say something in defence for his friend, but Caius raised his hand in the air for silance. "I've heard enough from you Felix. Go get my children and bring them to me later. I have something to discuss with your friend here." He ordered sharply. "Jane, go with him."

"But M-" She protested loudly.

"I said GO!" Caius roared at her. Jane bowed and ran after Felix, but not before casting a linger concern look towards her brother as he stood there in his spot with a frown on his face.

Once the two were gone, Caius sighed deeply for control of his already rapidly deteriorating patience. He walked back and forth slowly in silance. Demteri was venemtly wishing he was dead on the spot for opening his mouth. If things were not already bad enough with Rina not even being here when Caius arriving from Italy with the entire coven. Now he had to deal with this?

"Um, master?" He started.

"Shut up already, Demetri." Caius growled. Turning on him, he slapped the bodyguard across the face."Every fucken time, Demteri." He yelled at him, his crimson eyes turning jet black as he stared at him right in the eyes. "Every time, there is always have to be something going wrong when I'm not around. Why is that? Hmm?"

Demteri couldn't help but flinch under his master's infuriated eyes. "I-its really hard f-f-for us to be able to do our own jobs without having to run i-i-into issues along the way." He replied fearfully.

"And what about Aikiterina and letting the damn woman lead you, Felix, Jane and her brother here? Huh? I have given you two so many chances in all of this, I have often wondered even why i'm even allowing you to live." Caius said scathingly.

"Master, if this is about us secretly leaving, then it would be mostly our fault." Alec said, spreading his hands wide. "I had told Aro that I knew someone here who might be willing to help us out along while under the protection of the mother priestess and her holy sisters."

Caius tried not to punch the other vampire in the face for his comment. "Oh really? And I suppose you are going to say next that Rina had even been willing to pay you for your "protection" after not even thinking about what I would have said." He shot back.

Alec cleared his throat and swore in his head, if his face could turn bright red right now, it would have some human look puny. "Well...Aro had mention that it would be best that we didn't even tell you because of what happened last time..." He trailed off as he caught the look of anger working its way into his master 's face.

Caius walked in front of him and said, "If I ever hear one more fucken excuse from either one of you two, or even Felix for that matter." He leaned forward till he was nose to nose with him. "I will not hold back my full wrath until all of you are rightfully punished. There is more then just one ruler who sits before you back in Volturia. Understood?"

"Yes, master."

"Leave us then." Caius said without looking back while walking away. Demetri bowed respectfuly before departing his master. Theo sighed, thinking just how bad things were going to progess as time when on without the human girl.

"At least we have the children, my husband." She said, staring after Demetri's back. "You really need to curb your impulsive emotions. Its not good for you to lose it in front of those whom we don't really know."

Caius shot her an annoyed look."And what do you want me to do about it. Atheonora?" He replied. "Shrug the stupide actions of two bodyguards that were given simple instructions to keep a close eyes at all times on the girl? How can I just go about my normal business while worrying about wheather or not she's alright or if she is even alive?"

Theo pretended to inspceting her nails. "Well, first of all, I', quite sure the mother priestess would not just let "anyone" take Rina away without some good reason of why." She added skepticly. "With the kind of abilities that human girl possess, there has to be a very good reason why she isn't here in the first place."

"Well, its even more important that she has someone she knows, with her at all times." Caius snapped as he headed for the temple." I have just enouggh fucken shit to deal with as it is, woman."

~The shadow watched the two depart. Brief flashes of red and sliver lite the darkness from which the person was hidden in. If one was to happen come upon the individual, they would have felt the hidden powers within before being forced to forget what they had seen.~
