Chapter 2: Brotherly Banter.
Italy, Volturi Castle

Caius was furious with his brother approaching his wife about that particular topic knowing she'd have to agree and go along with his plans whether she wanted to or not.

It made him laugh when she threatened his brother in return of agreeing to his plans, even Marcus had laughed. Aro's face was priceless.

It only showed not a sign that she was not just beauty but had the brains as well, unlike his brother's wives. His, on the other hand, was not stupid.

"Something amusing, Caius?" Marcus voice broke his silent musing.

"Perhaps," was all he said.

"Oh? Do share?" Aro asked.

He turned to smirk at his brother, whose head he almost bit off a few days ago for what he suggested of his wife, when he first approached him with his plans.

"Oh, it's nothing, really. I was just musing over the fact that my wife was smart enough not to just fall into your web of plans but gain something out of it for herself," he smirked.

Marcus chuckled. Aro scowled knowing what he would have to do for a decade and wasn't looking forwards to it!

"You certainly dug your self a nice little hole there, Aro, never in a million years would I have ever imagined it. You must of wanted the Cullens badly to agree to that." Marcus said amused.

"Humph," Aro's only response.

Caius laughed, a real laugh.

"Oh. Aro and who would of thought it would be a woman to run you into the ground at that," Marcus chuckled

"Princess Isabella Volturi certainly has a brain as well as beauty. Looks like with your La Tua Cantante brother, you got lucky," Marcus voice was filled with amusement.

Caius chuckled.

"She certainly got her way on this one. I'm not happy that you went behind my back Aro when I specifically said that I will not have my wife involved in your plans, but she got something out of it in return. Not only did she agree to doing what you asked even though she wouldn't have a choice any way, she got something out of it in return," he smirked.

"Now that's something you don't see every day," Marcus snickered.

"Shut up!" Aro barked.

"Aw. What's up, dear brother? Afraid of what my darling wife has in store for you upon her return to Italy?" Caius taunted smugly.

"And I believe it's a win/win situation so even if she fails you'll still have to go by what she decides!" Marcus smirked.

"SHUT UP!" Aro yelled placing his hands over his ears trying to block their laughter out and took too scowling at the far wall.


A/N: Sorry for the shortness guy's. But I just couldn't get this friendly brotherly banter out of my head, before we join Bella in Forks.

What did you all think?

Plus a huge thank you for all the feedback I've gotten so far.

I would like to clear one thing up.

I am not having Bella go with Edward instead of Caius or this would have been a Bella - Edward story, TEAM CAIUS all the way.
