Chapter Two: Marcus
It has been centuries since Didyme died and my heart aches from my lonesomeness all this time. I stare at the old portrait of Didyme and smile a little as I remember the happy moments we had. Her beautiful black hair that made her look like she had a halo in the sunlight to go with her beautiful skin. A knock at my door interrupts me from my daydream and I look up to see Heidi at the door with Sulpicia behind her. Sulpicia's hair was left down to form beautiful brown waves to frame her beautiful face.
"Thank you, Heidi," I say and dismiss Heidi. Sulpicia closes the door to my room and locks it before walking over to me by my fireplace. I smile a little and hold out my hand to the woman that is my brother's wife, but the one thing that has been keeping happy all these years. "Aro still has not returned from his... little adventure?"
"You know your brother as well as I do when it comes to him and his little adventures," Sulpicia says with a smile. I cup her face and lean down to kiss her lips softly. "I always thought you were much more handsome than Aro. But, yet you never picked me when I was to married to your brother."
"I do regret not picking you before he had laid his hands on you," I purr. Sulpicia undoes the buttons on my shirt and she pushes away from my chest. I pick her up and carry her to my bed to lay her down and love her like her husband, my brother, has not done in many years.
Felix and I walk to Aro's office and I see that he is angry at something. Caius is looking over a report that has been recently brought to us. I raise a brow when Jane and Alec walk into the room with angry looks on their faces.
"This nomad has to be caught before they kill off another hundred humans!" Aro roars and slams his hand onto his desk.
"What is going on exactly?" I ask to be caught up in everything. Caius hands me the report and I scan it over quickly. "A nomad has killed this many humans within we are just now getting to this. How is it no one has been able to catch this nomad as of yet?"
"The nomad is somehow able to mask their scent and we are unable to track them," Jane says. I look at her and see that she is seething from being a disappointment to Aro.
"This nomad has not been a vampire very long but is able to mask their scent?" I ask in shock.
"Not even Demetri can track this nomad," Caius says. He has a smile on his face, as if he is proud of this nomad. "If caught, I think this vampire could be of use to us."
"No, we will not have a lawbreaker in the guard," Aro says and points at our brother in anger. "Do not ever make that comment again about this nomad or any like this one. I will not allow us to be that lenient on someone that breaks the law, no matter how much they can aid us in the guard."
"Aro," I say. "What are you planning on doing to catch this nomad?"
"We will keep sending people in search of this nomad and stop them before they yet another human soul. I want you to search all the areas near the latest attack area and leave no stone unturned for a thousand miles," Aro orders. The guards leave us and I look between my two brothers in shock. A nomad that is able to mask their scent at this age is someone we need in our guard and need to keep a close eye on in case they begin to form a rebellion.
