Chapter 2

I stand in the fighting chamber watching the two newest members of the Guardesess spar. Valina and Addison were to close of a match when fighting with fists, and both were tiring.

"STOP, STOP, STOP…. If we are to protect and serve the 3 then we must able to find each others weaknesses and use it against each other. Do NOT give pause to kill because you know the person you are fighting with. It could be the vampire that made you and you must still kill them, it doesn't matter. Anyone who wishes the 3 harm must, and will die!"

As I look into the faces of my girls and get nods of understandment, the door to the chamber and the air seems to get thicker. I know who is at the door without having to turn around, or having them speak. It's my love.

"Love, Aro wants to see us in the Council room." Felix says as he walks up behind me puts his arms around my waist and kisses the top of my head. I sigh, he always knows how to calm me down.

"Alright. Valina, your left punch is weak, work on that. Addison, you never advance on your opponent, you just defend, that makes you look wary of your opponent.

"Don't let it happen again," I bark at them. We are all close, like sisters, but no one here wants to die, so I train them. They bow their heads as I pass hand in hand with Felix.

"Yes, mistress." they all say in unison. As soon as the door shuts Felix starts to chuckle.

"I love that they call you mistress." he grins.

"But we both know that I'm your slave for eternity." I say as I wrap my arms around his waist and lean into his chest. He pushes me back against the stone wall."

"I know and I love it." he smirks. But then his lips touch mine and I don't care that he was teasing me. I feel that all to familiar buzz run through my body as I put my arms on his shoulders and put my legs around his waist.

"Y..you…sai…said that…..ummm right that Aro wanted to see us." I stutter as her places warm kisses down my neck.

"Yeah, he put up with our disappearances from the Council meetings often enough. We shouldn't anger him." with a sigh he pulls away and me back on the ground.

I knock on the door and enter the Council room. Aro smiles slightly as he sees our intertwined fingers.

"Ahhhhh Marie and Felix." Aro prefers to call me by my middle name. Something about how it is from his time, God only knows how long ago that was, could people even talk back then, and that it is more appropriate for my looks.

"Yes master Aro." we say as we bow low to the ground.

"Marie, ready the Guardesess. We go to Spain on the morrow. Some good friends are flying in and you are to escort them here to the castle, rooms will be ready. We don't want them to be harmed all of the Guardesess and their mates will be going."

"Are we expecting trouble milord?" I ask, there are only 15 of us, but we have the highest of powers and are pretty bad ass.

"Not at all, but I think that these particular guests will be most interesting to you." he slides his to Felix and back "And of course to Felix as well. It's my belief that you haven't seen them in quiet a while, we shall rectify that."

Oh, God.

I had gone rigid as soon as he said interesting.

God help me.

It couldn't be them.

Could it?
