A/N: I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter and I hope you enjoy this one too. Remember to review!
Marcus' POV
Finally they arrived in Volterra. Marcus made his way to the castle and found Aro and Caius. He entered the throne room.
"Ah, Marcus, what are you doing here?" Aro greeted.
"I've come to give you a warning Aro, and you too Caius," said Marcus.
"Well, let's hear it," Aro responded.
"You have one more chance to let Serefina's family go, or else there will be war," Marcus warned.
"When and where would this battle take place?" Aro asked.
"Tomorrow night, in the woods," Marcus answered.
Before leaving Marcus ran up to Aro, punched him in the jaw and then he did the same thing to Caius. After that he left.
Aro's POV
"Aro, tell me that you got some sort of information when he hit you," Caius hissed.
"No, he was wearing a glove," Aro said.
"We're not letting them go, are we?" Caius asked.
"No, we're not, but I hate that it has to come to this," Aro answered.
Serefina's POV
Marcus soon arrived back at the clearing.
"Well?" Serefina inquired.
"I gave them the warning, but knowing them, they're not going to let your family go, so there will be war," Marcus replied.
"I hate that it hast to come to this," said Carlisle.
"Me too," Esme responded.
The next night Aro, Caius, Sulpicia, Athenodora, Jane, Alec, Felix, Renata, Corin, and eleven newborns arrived in the clearing.
When Aro spotted Serefina he was quite surprised. "Serefina, my dear, immortality fits you, I believe you rival Rosalie and Heidi in beauty."
"I'm not flattered," said Serefina.
"Aro, I'm sorry it has to come to this," Carlisle admitted.
"Me too old friend," Aro replied.
"Can't we make this much easier and let Serefina's family go?" Carlisle asked.
"No, I can't do that," Aro answered. He turned to Caius. "I believe you would like to be the one to give this command."
Caius turned to the newborns. There was an eerie silence that filled the clearing. Caius was the one to break it with two words: "Kill them."
