A/N: I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter. Sorry if it seemed rushed, but I'm going to add more details from now on. I don't know if the blood of a vampire's "caller" smells the same, so I made up my own scent, because I didn't want to borrow the scent of Bella's blood to Edward from Stephanie Meyer.

Demetri quickly fled the scene and headed back to the nearest safe house to join Aro, Marcus, Jane, Alec and Felix. They had come to resolve a small problem, it wasn't big enough to constitute the entire Volturi to leave Volterra and take care of the problem. Demetri was quite confused by the fact that he couldn't bring himself to break the girl's neck and drink her blood. He couldn't stop thinking about her, her long, wavy, black hair, her milk-chocolate brown eyes, her olive-toned skin that was free of any blemish, her high cheekbones, her curly eyelashes, her slender frame, and the smell of her blood. Her blood was intoxicating. It was the sweetest smell his nose had ever come in contact with. Her blood smelled of vanilla and honey. It smelled untainted and pure, she had obviously been taking care of herself if her blood smelled so clean. He could spend eternity breathing in her scent, and he would never get tired of it.

After a while he arrived back at the safe house. He tried to sneak into his room, but Aro saw him.

"Ah, Demetri, good to see that you're back," Aro greeted.

Demetri stopped, turned, faced Aro, and bowed. "Hello Master." Please don't let him read my thoughts.

"How did everything go?" Aro asked.

"Absolutely perfect, I took care of everything and no one saw me," Demetri answered.

Aro held out his hand for Demetri, and this was the last thing he wanted. Demetri groaned internally; he knew Aro would find out about the girl who he had let go, and he knew he was going to be punished for it, and possibly even killed, he had broken the number one rule of the vampire world: don't let humans know of their existence.

"Master, don't you trust me?" Demetri questioned.

"Of course I do, but I just want to make sure," Aro said.

Demetri hesitantly touched Aro's hand, and Aro read his every thought. After a moment, Aro pulled his hand away. Demetri looked away, embarrassed. If he had been human, he would have been blushing a deep red due to his embarrassment.

"Demetri, I can't believe you, off all the guard, couldn't bring yourself to kill her. I can honestly say I'm disappointed." He didn't say anything. "You feel strange and you don't know why. I have to say, she is pretty. You are confused, you don't know why you couldn't bring yourself to kill her." Again, Demetri didn't say anything. He hated showing weakness and he saw confusion as a sign of weakness.

"The silent man prevails."

Demetri couldn't handle being around Aro at the moment, so he ran out the back door of the safe house and into the woods.

Aro's POV

Aro stood there and shook his head. He knew Demetri felt a strong bond with the girl, but he wasn't sure how strong. Perhaps I should consult Marcus, Aro thought. Suddenly the sound of soft footsteps broke Aro's thoughts; the footsteps were so soft that he almost didn't hear them. He turned around and saw Marcus.

"Ah, Marcus, brother, I was just coming to look for you," Aro greeted.

Marcus just stood there and didn't say a word. Why was Aro coming to look for him?

"I'm assuming you hear my conversation with Demetri."

Marcus simply nodded.

"What are your thoughts?"

So that's why Aro had been looking me, Marcus thought. Marcus held out his hand for Aro, and he read Marcus' thoughts.

"Oh my, that's why he didn't kill her."

"I'm going to go talk to him," Marcus whispered softly.

"Be careful brother," Aro said as Marcus left.

Demetri's POV

Demetri was standing alone in the woods, he couldn't stop thinking about the girl. Suddenly he sensed someone coming his way. Moments later Marcus appeared

"Master Marcus," Demetri said as he gave a slight bow.

Marcus waved his hand to indicate that bowing wasn't necessary.

"Is there something I can do for you?" Demetri asked.

Marcus shook his head. "How was your hunt?"

"It was good," Demetri replied. He wondered what Marcus was getting at; he wasn't one to talk much, so why was he trying to have a conversation with him?

"I overheard your conversation with Aro," Marcus responded.

"You did?" Demetri questioned sheepishly.

Marcus nodded.

"I don't understand my feelings for her. I can't stop thinking about her, it's driving me crazy," Demetri said.

"I know why," Marcus responded.

"Why?" Demetri inquired.

"She's your soul mate."

A/N: I know Marcus isn't one for many words, so I tried to keep his talking down to a minimum, and I pictured Demetri being pretty quiet too. Thanks to everyone who has read this so far. Please review, they make my day, and if at any time someone has an idea they would like to see worked into the fic, they can leave their idea in a review or you can just shoot me a PM, I can't promise that I will incorporate the idea into the story, but I will certainly take it into consideration.

Until next time!
