Felix's POV

I watched as Adrian's transformation came to an end. He blinked a couple times lifted his hand and looked at it, front and back as if seeing it for the first time. He moved it quickly back and forth, vampiric speed. He sat up quickly. He moved his fingers individually then took not of his skin running his fingers across it. He turned his head to me. His nose flared up at me and his eyes burned with newborn anger. I bent my knees getting ready for his attack. In an instant I didn't understand.

I felt a ramming feeling low on my body pushing up and then I was flying through the wall behind me, then the next wall then the next I gripped my stomach in pain as I continued to fly through wall and wall. I felt my speed decreasing with every new wall I smashed through. I stopped faster than I expected, my body fell on something hard and metal my head bounced back against it. My vision was blurred if only for a moment.

Evelyn's POV

I looked over my notes on Ivan again. He was a ticking time bomb, always a moment from explosion. My question was why he never exploded. He had his temperamental outbursts to be sure but not to the point of making him a sociopath. There must be something grounding him. I thought as I leaned backwards tapping my finger to my temple gently. It was the only thing I couldn't place with Ivan. I turned to my notes about Ulrich looking for similarities. The werewolf they killed that must be the connec- my thought was interrupted a thud, then another, and another. Each thud was getting louder and closer.

"What the hell is going on?" The room shook from the sound then a loud crack and a body came flying through the wall landing on my desk. He lay still sprawled out across my desk his legs still hanging out of the hole in the wall. I looked up to his face. Felix? What the hell happened to you?

"Felix?" I asked. He started dusting of his clothes as if nothing had happened. He hadn't started getting up yet.

"Yes?" he asked as if this was an everyday occurance.

"You just came flying through the wall…" I said waiting for an explination.

"Ahuh…" Felix said as if it was not a big deal.

"Through three other walls too…"

"Six actually I kept track."

"And you smashed the top of my desk." I continued.

"Yeah… sorry about that." He said looking up at me from his laying position with a grin. Damn that grin!

"Do you want to explain why you're here?"

"I don't know I thought I'd drop in."

"How clever, Adrian woke up?"

"Adrian woke up." He said nodding.

"He kicked your ass pretty far." I commented.

"Actually I think he 'trucked' me." He said.

"What? What does 'trucked' mean?"

"It's an American football term when someone runs straight in to you usually with their shoulder."

"I see… he was a football player?" I asked as he still continued to look back up at me in to my eyes.

"Yes… a very very good one." Felix started to get up but I palmed his forehead and smashed it back down against the desk with a thud. He blinked

"What the-" Felix was interrupted by me kissing him. I pressed my body still sitting in my desk chair against his until I finally pulled back.

"I'm sorry… I've wanted to do that for a while now." I started getting up to leave but Felix reached for my hip and the back of my neck and lifted me up and on top of him pulling me back down to him.

Demetri's POV

I walked across the hallway and noticed rubble on the ground I looked left and noticed a large hole. I looked past the hole and saw three more matching it on the walls. Did something come flying through here? I closer examined the hole on my left I picked up a small piece of red cloth. A Volturi robe? I looked up and to my right and stared through the hole and saw who it was. I made my way over to see Evelyn on top of Felix on her desk making out, both their feet hanging out of the wall. I walked through the holes left in the wall until I was behind him. I coughed politely.

"Well hello there Felix, I barely saw you under her." Evelyn's arm slid off Felix's face and turned to face me then gave me the finger.

"Giving me the finger? I'm not an American Evelyn that doesn't hold any meaning to me." She raised a second finger holding her index and middle finger up together.

"Oh, that's just not nice. I'm slightly offended…" I coughed a couple times as they continued to make out and ignore me. I had figured out exactly what had gone on especially since the cell door was wide open.

"Felix, Felix! The palace is on fire." No reaction. Maybe a different approach.

"Felix, Felix! Aro needs a backrub!" I got the same two fingered insult from Felix. I laughed.

"Oh I got one, Felix, Felix! Our newest pupil just kicked the shit out of you and is on the loose in the palace!" I heard a grumble escape his lips between kissing Evelyn and he tried to get up.

"Oh, you remember Adrian now?" Felix was forced back down.

"He's your find, your responsibility." Felix said giving up with Evelyn.

"Yeah… he would be… if I didn't remember you saying "Don't worry about this, I got it." to me… come on we gotta grab him before someone kills him." I laughed Felix finally forced his way up and out from under Evelyn.

"I'll be back." He said freeing himself from her. He was grinning like a stupid schoolboy.

"Oh come on let's get our work done already."

Ulrich's POV

I sighed as I finished my sparring match. I couldn't shake the feeling in the pit of my stomach. This person who saved my life, this person who was the closest thing to a brother I've had I'm supposed to kill very soon. Truthfully I was just hoping he would get killed in the first round, then I could kill the person who ended him in anger… It's not going to happen, he's got the killer instincts and will to survive. The real question was, did I? If that wasn't enough I still didn't know where I was with Alexis. False. I knew exactly where I was, and it wasn't somewhere I wanted to be. Fix it. I got up and my way to Alexis's room. I knocked. Immediately the door opened. I smiled, I still hadn't gotten used to people actually answering doors quickly.

"Hi Ulrich!" She said with a big smile. It's so beautiful. I sighed heavily.

"What's wrong Ulrich?" Her hand slid along my forearm to comfort me. So smooth.

"Alexis… I don't want you to get any ideas about me not finding you extremely attractive. I mean well truthfully I umm I just think you look amazing it's why I needed to try and protect you, and well yeah I'm really sorry that I did couldn't protect you from becoming a vampire it's just that…" I said as her index finger pressed against my lips. I'm droning on…

"Well… What I'm trying to say is… it's just that… I mean what I'm trying to say is…" I stopped myself and focused on one problem at a time.

"Alexis, I'm in the running to be the leader of the Volturi army… if I don't die first I'll be doing a lot of turning humans in to vampires…" She nodded.

"And I was informed this morning that you wish to see the tournament for the Army commandant." She nodded.

"Yes… I did."

"The worst case scenario I am brutally killed and ripped in to tens of pieces in front of your eyes." She nodded. The prospect obviously wasn't one she was looking forward to.

"Best case scenario you see me brutally kill two other vampires." She nodded again.

"And one could be my best friend." I added. That made her uncomfortable but she nodded again.

"And I want to be with you… more than anything but I don't want you getting hurt by this, or the person you'll see me become to win a fight to the death." I said finally as she nodded again as if we were talking about the weather. I had run out of reasons.

"Is that it?" I blinked a couple times.

"Yes?" I asked. Wasn't that enough?

"Then come over here and kiss me." I blinked again.

"But what about all of that? I mean you know what I have to do and what I must become?" I explained thinking she misheard me. She sighed.

"Must I do everything?" She stood and jumped up on the desk between us then jumped up on to me kissing me. My arms naturally slide under her and around her to hold her up. I took in a deep breath exhaling her sweet smelling red hair. It blew in to my face and massaged my skin lightly. My hands ran up her back and pulled her tightly against my chest. She attacked me with her kiss with a fierceness I hadn't seen in her yet. It became uncomfortable with the lack of air but we didn't care, eventually we parted. I started breathing again regaining my senses. I ran my fingers across her face and gently pushed her hair out of her face.

"You're so… beautiful." I said honestly.

"You're not too shabby yourself…" she said smiling.

"I mean it…" I said

"Aren't you supposed to lead off with 'sleep with me now because soon I may die' line?"

"Does that really ever work?" I asked honestly.

"Couldn't hurt to try it…" she said smiling.

Felix's POV

"It seems his power is 'trucking' people." Demetri said.

"I don't quite get your meaning." I said honestly.

"I mean he can move at extreme speeds for very very short times, running in to people and running them over, but stopping on contact… much like he did in football." Demetri explained.

"How'd you figure that out?"

"I don't know I thought it was the most applicable considering what he did before he became a vampire, he was one of the best running backs in the NCAA."

"NCAA?"

"National Collegiate Athletic Association." I nodded.

"He'll be a good soldier for whoever wins the fight." I nodded. Our pupils weren't something Demetri and I talked about, nor was Evelyn. I could tell he was slightly angry but I had plenty more reasons to be angry at him about it. I felt the anger swelling up inside me but turned it down thinking about today with Evelyn. My body had missed hers, even after a century. Let's party like it's 1895 she said. 1895 was a good year. I sighed. At least one of my students would die soon, possibly both. Don't think about it like that, they'll win. What if they don't? I can't count that out. Demetri is more than a competent teacher. I just had to hope the extra time finding who I thought would be the best student would be the determining factor. I was counting down the days to the day where I could only hope I could get to see my two students, the closest things I've had to my own children, will battle each other to the dead.

That's right, the big battle is coming. Next chapter the tournament will be. Review and I might even write it soon! I know the chapter's short, next week I'll be bringing the pain, (in the way of a large chapter) but it'll probably be on the other chapter. Next chapter will probably be the semi-finals of the tournament to the death. Don't forget about the high fives, knucks, reviews, rolls of twenties, and comments. Catch you on the flip side.
