Theft from the Volturi
Part 2
Volterra, Italy
8:15 P.M.
Gianna watched the security monitor stunned, hardly noticing the alarm which still echoed through the halls. Somehow the two intruders had taken down Felix ,whom now lay sprawled on the floor in front of the elevator, the same elevator the intruders were presently in, also the same elevator which opened just across the hall on the other side of her desk. She jumped as Demetri and three guards flew into the room and spread out in front of the elevator doors, waiting too "greet" the new arrivals. There was a soft ringing noise as the elevator reached its destination. Gianna lowered herself so she just saw over her desk, Demetri and the guards stood tense and wary as the doors started to slide open.
As soon as the doors had opened a centimeter thick white smoke poured out of the opening quickly filling the room. Gianna now hid under her desk shaking as she heard sounds of a scuffle and bodies hitting each other, then the floor. If only she could get to the main chamber Aro, Caius, and Marcus would surely protect her. She bolted towards the door, but could not see a thing as the smoke clouded everything. Suddenly an iron grip found her wrist and she screamed as the figure sunk its teeth into her arm. As her attacker pulled her closer she saw it was Demetri, whom immediately let go upon recognition. She screamed as the vampiric venom coursed through her veins, making her arm feel as if it were on fire. Demetri stared at her stunned as she lay writhing on the floor. Then out of the corner of his eye he caught a flash of movement, he spun around desperately trying to see through the smoke and spot the intruders. Gianna's screams echoed through the halls making it hard for him to keep a level head, he strained to hear any sound that might give away the intruders locations, but whoever or whatever they were they did not make the smallest of noises.
Jane stood with Aro, Marcus, and Caius in the main hall along with twenty guards. She wished Alec were here to see this, however he was off on assignment in Bulgaria, she had never witnessed an attack make it this far before. Suddenly loud screams erupted on the other side of the doors, it sounded like Gianna. There was a crackling on the guards' radios and Demetri's voice times twenty echoed in the main hall.
"I-I can't find the intruders! My men are down! They used smoke grenades, I can't see a thi-" ,Demetri's voice suddenly cut out and the only sound that came through the radios was Gianna's frantic screams and high pitched laughter that could only be the intruders. Then the radio abruptly went silent. Tension filled the large room as every one of the vampires gazes shifted to the doors.
