Felix's POV

I wrapped my brand new weapon from Abhash. It was beautiful, it was the perfect tool of destruction, even better than I thought it'd be. Abhash had etched 'Ultim Somnus' across the edge in perfect script. I sighed looking at the craft of perfect death. Abhash really was as good as he said he was. I gently wrapped the glaive end in silk being careful not to cut the thin fabric. I wrapped it around the end with care until it lost some of its shape. I then put the cover on the sharp opposite end of the staff end. I threw it across my back and tied it on preparing for my journey back to Volterra.

I had been traveling for a couple hours when I first noticed the signs of being tailed. At this speed it was pretty obvious when someone was trying to tail me through the country side. I finally stopped tired of this charade and turned to face my follower.

My follower turned out to be six vampires. I watched their movements precisely then I saw one face I recognized and knew immediately something wasn't right. It was Carlisle, but the vampires he was with weren't the Cullens, they all had bright red eyes… Newborns… fun. I examined Carlisle closely. His smile… it didn't seem right. It was a look he never gave me… it was dark…

"Hello Felix…" he smiled darkly.

"Hello…" I said wondering what the hell was wrong with Carlisle. He signaled and the newborns circled around me. I pulled out 'Ultim Somnus' and pulled the soft covers off the sharp ends.

"I guess I was going to need to break in this weapon sooner or later, but this is much sooner than I thought." I spun it between my hands back and forth, it was perfect, the weight felt made for me, it wasn't too light as most weapons I used were.

"Well come on, I don't have all day I have appointments to keep, if you want to die, can we do this quickly?"

"You talk pretty big for someone who is outnumbered six to one." Carlisle said smiling.

"Yeah, well get six more of you and then we'll have a fair fight." The first charged in with a tackle. I jumped in a barrel rolling flip, mid flip spiking him with the sword tipped end of my glaive driving him down by his spine in to the ground. the spear was perpendicular to the ground and I was parallel to the ground hanging off it, at the same time holding his body on the ground. another charged at me and I threw my legs out in a kick throwing him backwards.

The momentum put me holding on to the spear with one hand and waving with the other as now I was too perpendicular to the ground balancing myself above the sharp point of the opposite end of my glaive.

"Come on I can play like this all day." I let my weight fall and used the momentum to lift the upper half of the vampire in the ground and fling it at two of the vampires. From his ribcage up flew through the air while his hips and spine down started to move on the ground. The two vampires that were not being held down but the upper half of their comrade looked at me in fear. The first charged I took a step away and spun my body, then grabbed my weapon by its small end and spun it in one hand as far as it could reach. It sliced right through the neck of the charging vampire like butter, even though he was over eight feet away. The rest of his body fell to the ground at me with the momentum of him running.

I smiled and charged the other one in front of me I dodged the obvious tackling attempt at me. He stumbled past me and tried to catch himself. I speared my glaive through his Calf muscle down through his shin and in to the ground holding him in place. He tried to escape and Pain ruptured through his leg, and through the expressions on his face. The realization swept over his face, then fear. I causally wrapped my arm around his head then clasped his chin and twisted it off effortlessly. His body fell to the ground with a thud and went limp.

I turned back around and assessed the two full vampires I had left to deal with. I smirked at the two halves of the third vampire… of the two the one charging in first was just another new born. The one hanging back a bit didn't have the same mindless aggression. I turned my attention to Carlisle. I charged at the newborn then has he went for the tackle I jumped lightly then used his back to launch myself past the other vampire and to Carlisle. I swung my hand out at him trying to get a hold of him then I realized something was wrong… That's not the smell I remember… at that moment felt a hand on my sleeve then a ripping feeling. I turned quickly and pulled the vampire to me as hard as I could. I dropped my Glaive to the ground then dropped to a knee and drove my palm in to his chest now coming over head and launched him past me.

I grabbed my glaive and turned my attention to the once again charging newborn. I felt grips on my feet. I looked down and saw the upper body of the first Vampire holding me in place. I slid the Glaive up until my hand was right under the sword shaped end. I couldn't escape. He opened his arms with a beastly smile on his face. His arms wrapped around me and I stabbed my blade in to his stomach. Regardless his grip tightened I felt my ribs compressing. I reached down with my head and bit deep in to the side of his neck and ripped detaching his head. I pried myself out of his death grip and pushed his body off mine. I stared down at the upper torso of the Vampire holding my ankles. I scowled and he turned to try and pull himself away. Lifting my glaive in to the air I speared him through the head and body effectively stopping his movement completely. I turned to where Carlisle previously was standing. Whoever he was he escaped.

"That is quite a remarkable weapon you have there." The Vampire regarded me standing. I smirked in response.

"Any weapon can be good in the right hands."

"I believe it gave you an unfair advantage." I smiled at the irony of the statement and held out my weapon with one arm.

"If you don't believe me, here… take it, we'll see how you fare." I said extending my arm to him. He nodded taking it. He swung it a couple times and I could see it was heavier then suited him. he stopped moving and took his stance with glaive pointed at me.

"At your ready." I said confidently. He charged almost immediately and I easily dodged a vertical slice. The back end came around trying to catch me off guard with a quick horizontal swing aimed for my stomach I slipped away narrowly feigning difficulty. He followed through bringing the bladed edge around. I caught the bow area and grabbed with both hands, one between his and one closer to the sword edge. I pulled it down slightly so he naturally pulled back up and I pushed with him and cut his arm with the sharp point of the small side and got it between his body and his arm. Then I flipped him on to the ground and stepped on his shoulder and twisted the weapon out of his grip and set it down behind me with a sigh still with one leg on his shoulder.

Flipping out my cell I dialed Demetri.

"Felix, so good to hear from you… you never call anymore."

"I need you to track someone for me."

"Cutting straight to the chase I see." I turned away stepping off his shoulder.

"Yes, I need you to find someone for me, now!"

"No need to be hasty." He said joking with me. I heard the scuffle of ground and turned to see the vampire trying to escape.

"Who is it?" He asked.

"One moment…" I said moving my cell to my left hand and pulling dagger out of my boot. He was running now. I stopped him by flinging the weapon at him. A blood curling scream escaped his mouth.

"Let me guess, runner?" I smirked, he did have an ear for these things.

"Yep."

"Came with a gang, thought they could take you and couldn't?"

"Yep." I said trying not to smile.

"Four?"

"Five, actually."

"Went for the hamstring?"

"Nope, right through the knee." Demetri winced through the phone. I'd missed this kind of camaraderie we had.

"You know how I feel about the kneecaps."

"Yeah yeah…" I said trying not to smile, I was still angry with the guy.

"Hamstring works just as well and much easier to hit, you and being artistic with your torture."

"Whatever, I need you to find someone."

"Hey speaking of torture how did you think you were going with this guy? I mean were you thinking ripping off fingernails or ripping out teeth? I personally-"

"One second." I said cutting him off I dropped the phone and spun in place throwing my left arm up to catch the vampire at the wrist trying to stab me with and over hand strike. I was obviously stronger than him. My free hand grasped his throat. His free arm was trying to pull the arm off my throat. A smile crept across my face as I squeezed his right wrist shattering it under my grip. The dagger fell to the ground with another scream. I clutched his throat again taking his voice away before pulling him down to my knee level launching a knee to his chest. I dropped my hips below him and used my coiled body to lift send him seven feet in to the air and pull him back down by the throat slamming him throat first in to the ground.

"Stay" I said before throttling his head in to the ground again. Turning around I grabbed my cellphone.

"Sorry about that."

"It's okay, some people are slow learners, but like I was saying, Fingernails are better for torture because it's harder to talk with blood in your mouth."

"Well vampire's don't bleed nearly as much as humans, besides you need someone holding your victim down and tools for fingernails."

"I suppose you're right." He answered, I was starting to get frustrated as he was evading my original purpose.

"Carlisle Cullen, locate him!"

"Let's see…. He is in… Forks, Washington, United States of America." I was immediately relieved.

"Why?" He asked

"Nothing." I replied coldly.

"Come on!"

"Bye."

"Oh don't forget to break his bones!" I clicked my phone off and put it away trying not to smile. I turned my attention to the vampire who was now trying to limp away pathetically on one leg.

"I'm going to ask you once, what do you know about the vampire that ran from, why I was chosen to attack, and who you work for… this is your one chance… I will not ask again, but you will tell me."

"I know you can't bring me to Aro… I know things about you…" He winced in pain."

"yeah… sure you do."

'Yes I do… Felix Herrmann." I tried to hide my surprise but he saw it.

"Yes… I know who you are, son of Manfred. I know more about you than you do… That's why you won't bring me to Aro… because I know where your family is now… You don't know that do you? Well I do. If Aro found that out they would undoubtedly be killed." I didn't believe as he tried not to wince. I didn't want to believe what he was saying but being warned twice three days wasn't something I could shake off, no he couldn't go to Aro.

"Tell me everything…"

"I'll never tell-" I coiled then punched him in the gut. I gripped the back of his neck and pulled it down to my knee and kneed him in the face a couple times then jumped in to his face as hard as I could with my knee throwing him back to the ground. Grasping his jacket I lifted his body up to eye level. His nose was shattered and the rest of his face was deformed. If he wouldn't tell me about who I was the best thing I could do is protect my secrets, even if it was from myself.

"What are you doing? We both know you won't kill me." He said trying to smile even though his face was contorted.

"If I can't protect them physically, then keeping their secret is the best I can do. If you die or not means very little to me it's your call." The truth is I did care but I'd kill him before putting my kin in danger. Horror struck through his face but he didn't say a word. I watched him as he put all of his weight on his left leg, the healthy one. I targeted it and kicked it with a strong side kick. There was a loud snapping sound then he was on the ground screaming again. I twisted his arm and lifted him by it locked in place. I looked him in the eye before dislocating the right arm and dropping him back down to the ground.

"F-f-f-f-uck y-y-y-o-o-o-u" He tried to say getting up on his good arm I punted his head and he went back down.

I grabbed his hair and pulled him up to face level staring him down. My weight dropped then propelled myself back up under his chin shattering his jaw in the process. I gripped my hand around his Adam's apple.

"I shattered your jaw so you couldn't bite down on my hand when I'm ripping out your teeth. I reached in and ripped out a molar. He screamed in pain again. I was getting frustrated he wasn't going to talk. I dropped his weight and spun connecting with his falling body with a round kick to his temple. I grabbed my dagger off the ground and cut through his neck, putting him out of his misery. I dialed a number in my Cell phone, it rang once and was picked up.

"Hello Felix."

"Abhash, I've got some bones for you to harvest, come to my location, I'm heading back to Volterra."

Evelyn's POV

Felix was supposed to be back hours ago. It wasn't like him to be late. Everything he did he did with the utmost care and professionalism when it came to work. Right now he was an hour late. Everyone else laughed it off, besides myself and Demetri, but he seemed very distracted. Everyone else assumed Felix was invincible, I'd seen a different side of him, and he wasn't invincible at all. The main doors opened, it was midday though, who the hell would barge in here midday? A large hooded figure I almost immediately recognized at Felix stalked in. he lowered his hood and he had a very angry and determined look in his eye. I noticed his robe was ripped on his right arm. Felix would never wear a tarnished Volturi robe, and Aro wouldn't let him if he wanted to.

"What happened?" He turned his attention to me, his anger wasn't aimed at me but it sure felt like it.

"Nothing that is of your concern." I looked closer and his robe looked scuffed up pretty badly.

"You were attacked weren't you." He stopped finally realizing I wouldn't drop it.

"Yes…"

"Three vampires?" I asked honestly, I didn't know any single vampire who even hurt him much less did the damage I could see to him.

"Five, actually, four newborns, one other." His attention turned to Demetri.

"Still in Washington?"

"Yes he is."

"Good." He said before walking uninvited in to the audience chamber, it was his prerogative as the captain of the Volturi guard but generally frowned upon, though no one would say anything to him right now.

Felix's POV

"With your permission I would like to confront Carlisle Cullen, the scent I smelt on Carlisle wasn't the one I remember, with your permission I would like to leave immediately and see him. Aro and Marcus exchanged looks and Caius spoke. They looked surprised at my request. They quickly composed themselves.

"For such an undertaking you cannot go alone."

"Of course not, I was going to bring Ulrich with me." I responded.

"We believe it would be best if you took Demetri with you, he can track Carlisle, and if things don't go according to plan." Aro explained. Emotionally I didn't want him there, truth be told I was still pissed at him for his involvement with Evelyn. Logically speaking there wasn't one other person I'd rather have there. No one I worked with better.

"Of Course Aro." I said with a bow. I didn't regret his decision, I'm just glad I didn't need to ask Demetri myself.

"Morning Felix." Demetri said with a grin. My muscles tightened in anger.

"Woah big guy, I didn't know this whole Evelyn thing was a big deal for you. Man you never show any emotion, when you did I had to have a little fun didn't I?" I stared him down.

"Damn Lixy you got to loosen up." Demetri was the only one who had the balls to call me that. I took a swing he easily dodged.

"Oh come on man, you know I have your back." I nodded. It was like I thought.

"Let's just go…" I said finally.

We'd made it out of Volterra when Demetri stopped me.

"What's up man?"

"Nothing's up, just pissed at you about Evelyn, the same shit." He shook his head.

"No… I don't buy it, you're not mad at me… well you are but, this is something different. You're unfocused, what's going on you can't hide shit from me, Evelyn might understand your emotions better than anyone else, but I understand you better." I shook my head.

"I'm so tired of your bullshit, you don't know anything about me." I charged with haymaker. Demetri easily ducked under it. I saw a quick blur of movement then felt my legs flying forward in to the air then a hard palm strike to my chest dropping me to the ground.

"Still think it's bullshit?" I sighed as Demetri let me back up.

"I was attacked by someone who looked like Carlisle." Demetri looked me over.

"So what, a shapeshifter… we've dealt with one or two of them before… there's more to it than that." Damn him knowing me so fucking well. The centuries together weren't helping.

"One of them with him knew about me."

"Big deal, everyone knows about you, you're the fucking spearhead of the Volturi."

"No… I mean… Who am I… he knew my last name."

"Okay… yeah so?"

"Only you, Marcus, Aro, and Caius know my last name."

"So that's what threw you off?" he asked curiously.

"No… it was more… He knew my family… he knew where they are now… I don't even know that."

"Wow… Are they safe?" He asked

"I don't know."

"We must tell Aro." Demetri exclaimed.

"No… this doesn't leave us two… I'll figure out the moving parts when I get back.

Ulrich's POV

Felix and Demetri had made the questionable decision of leaving myself, and Ivan in the same room as them. Now I was restraining Ivan, and Evelyn was trying to get us to stop fighting.

"Come on you commie bastard!" Bruno goaded

"Fucking Goombah, I'm gonna kill you" Bruno's partner Primo wasn't holding him back but laughing next to him. Evelyn disappeared for a moment and returned with Alec and Jane.

"Piece of shit Guidos are lucky the tweens are here to save your ass." Alec smirked at Ivan's comment.

"I want Bruno when it comes to the fight." Ivan said quietly to me, I nodded."

"Don't worry, I'll take Primo… see you in the finals." Ivan laughed next to me. Just then out the corner of my eye I saw a small figure with red hair, I turned to see Alexis.

"I'll see you in training later." I said to Ivan, he nodded and left. I made my way over to Alexis.

"You sure have a way of keeping Ivan in control of himself." I shrugged.

"Guess you just need to understand the beast." She tried to move closer to me but I moved away.

"Why? Why do you keep pulling back?"

"It's… not a really simple answer." I said backpedaling

"I'm a smart girl, tell me." She said smiling. Even now I was having trouble refusing her, she attracted me too much for my own good.

"The truth is… Well I could die, I'm in a tournament to the death with my closest friend and two others… if he doesn't die in the first round I'll have to kill the only real comrade I've had since I became a vampire."

"What about Evelyn and Felix?"

"They might be your collages but they haven't even let that slip through, they are my masters, my professors, my mentors… they aren't on level with me."

"Ulrich… do you want to be with me?" she asked honestly.

"Yes… but I can't… not until I kill my closest friend.

Yeah, there is my update. And… I'm back. I actually finished the chapter hours ago then went and took a nap… because naps are epic. Got all my Christmas shopping done, got all my writing done… so what will I do for the next five days? Hmmm… Well that's my "problem" hope you all have a good time reading and Happy Christmas, and Merry New Year. Remember Rolls of twenty dollar bills, high fives, and knucks. Catch you on the flipside.
