Disclaimer Deuce: I'm writing the outline for the next chapter already hope you enjoy this one.

Embry's POV

"So... you and Themba huh?" I groaned.

"Not you too Mike?" Mike shrugged next to me.

"It can't be helped this is the only real interaction I have with anyone I'm not trying to beat to a pulp."

"You dislike it?" I asked curiously.

"Of course not, I love fighting, it feels like my body needs it just to keep myself sane, but I wish I could play video games like I used to, nothing like beating the Lakers by fifty with the Timberwolves to calm me down. I used to do things for fun, not because I had to. My days were structured by school sure, but I still had six or seven hours to call my own."

"It would appear freedom is behind us." I said honestly. I did understand what Mike was going through. I didn't like feeling on edge all day long.

"What do you have today?" I was hoping mercifully

"fight class with whoever is replacing Abhash while he's gone." He said wistfully.

"See you later then." He nodded and waved before walking away.

Demetri's POV

"Mike is too caring, too impressionable, too naïve." I said to her. She smiled back at me. She had been my fling here and there over the long years.

"Why are you telling me this... Training him is your and Felix's duty, besides neither of you would trust anyone else."

"He's too valuable to let him learn of the dangers of a nice rack and a smile in the field." I explained to her.

"Yet not important enough to tell the truth?" She argued with me. I laughed.

"He's just a stupid naïve boy. He's Aro's current fascination but with that fades he'll just be another Volturi member."

"You don't think he'll be a great asset?"

"He could be... but he still doesn't know how to control his powers, he had newborn blood in him when he was still so impressive. I think he won't amount to anything, but regardless we can't having get killed next time he fights someone attractive."

"He's just a kid." I laughed.

"Heidi the heart breaker, when did you go soft?" I snickered at her.

"I haven't... I just think he's not ready for this."

"It doesn't matter whether he's ready or not, he needs it."

"You're cruel." I laughed shortly.

"Cruel? I am apparently the only one who cares about him enough to stop him from killing himself. Will you do what he requires?" Heidi didn't look pleased but reluctantly nodded.

"Yes."

Arthur's POV

"What? You think you've found it?"

"Yes, all the preliminary test show results in the 98th percentile. The effect of the serum surpasses all of our initial expectations."

"Good, when will we have it?"

"It should be to you today, it was sent yesterday."

"Good, we'll begin tests." I hung up the phone. I turned around to see Lancelot leaning against the door.

"Don't sneak up on me." I said angrily.

"Then pay closer attention." he responded.

"What is this miracle serum?"

"It's supposed to suppress our bloodlust..."

"Supposed to?" Lancelot picked up on my worry.

"Give it to Bors to try out, he's still a newborn, if it kills him... well we will not have lost much... not one of us." Lancelot said.

"Good... Do it."

Mike's POV

Abhash is away for mercenary work. Who will they have me train weapons with? The door opened and I didn't recognize the form under the robe. The robe came off and my throat tightened. Heidi... damn it why did I have to get Heidi? She was wearing a very revealing red tank top with tight jeans. She wore a disarming smile across her bright red lips which only enhanced the view of her nearly alabaster skin. Her eyes met mine and I felt an unnatural tug to her. As if learning I belonged here with her.

She spoke no words but glided soundlessly across the room towards me with her bright seductive smile. I felt my legs going weak, and my body not moving to my command. It wasn't a completely unfamiliar feeling yet it was the first time since I'd turned. Paralysis. She moved without haste or hurry, yet not slowly, if possible her very glide was meant to seduce me. I realized belatedly that I'd stopped breathing. I started breathing again. She slowed and came closer, I didn't resist, I didn't anything. I opened my arms and in a flash of movement I realized my folly. A blade hidden in her hand was at my throat.

"You truly are naïve boy." She remarked annoyed.

"I am no boy. I have killed vampires, and held the entire Volturi Guard hostage." I said rather proudly.

"And yet, I walked up to you and pulled a knife on you... I killed you so easily."

"That doesn't count." I tried to defend.

"I used to be the assassin of the Volturi before we employed Abhash."

"Apparently you weren't that good at it since you got replaced." I sneered at her. I expected her to shoot back with a remark but she didn't.

"I applied my craft of seduction to get close." I forced myself to be on guard even though my body screamed to relax.

"And I killed." I blocked her arm with her blade.

"Don't move." she commanded. She put her arm on my shoulder so she could reach me but not much more.

"Your goal is to protect yourself without attacking me or moving your legs." My eyes drifted down her face to her rather pronounced cleavage.

"Could you please put on a shirt?" I asked hopefully. She smiled a far to seductive smile.

"Nope, these are the rules." I forced myself to look at her face. I felt movement and the cold blade on me again.

"Well my face doesn't have the weapon, you'll have to look lower." she said as if daring my to check her out.

"I... umm... well... can't we... you... umm... cover up... maybe... take... a... step...back...umm... ugh... please?" I said nervously.

"No... I won't, and can't... you are weak, you are susceptible. The first girl who flashes her tits will kill you, and it doesn't matter if you can turn a house to dust you're still going to get you ass kicked by little miss nobody with a rack." If I could have been sweating I would have been drenched.

"Umm... the... well... way... ugh... you... well... you know... talk... about..."

"What? Boobs? Does that make you uncomfortable?"

"Well... ah... Yeah." I answered honestly.

"Well I'll let you in on a little secret... half of the worlds population has these babies strapped to their chest so you might want to get comfortable knowing they have them." She said before swinging at me. I met her elbow with mine, her arm extended and wrist flicked and the blade was at my throat again. It was right under my Adam's apple. She leaned in closer. I felt her hair on the side of my face as she whispered softly in to my ear.

"Do you want to know a secret? Everyone is selfish."

"I don't believe it." I said forcing myself to speak calmly

"Don't you? Everyone has an agenda, truthfully I'm only helping you because I expect you to make my job easier here if you survive." she said stepping back and talking to me. I wasn't looking in her eyes, I was looking anywhere but at her.

"I don't think the world is like that."

"Oh really? Look at me." she commanded.

"No... I... don't think I will." I said. She grabbed the side of my face and forced it to look at her. My eyes turned away.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, are you so fucked up in the head that you can't even look at me?" My body started to shake in anger. I heard a rumbling I didn't recognize in my throat. Before I knew what I was doing my body was flying through the air at her. I collided and then grabbed her by the throat and threw her up against the wall growling next to her. My hands released her throat pinned her up against the wall by her waist. I attacked her neck with my teeth and my mouth found hers, What the hell am I doing? She growled back at me and attacking my lips with hers. Then her legs propped up against the wall. She pushed off the wall forcing me back then crouched on the ground before leaping back at me. I caught her arm and threw her on the ground my other hand on the side of her head. Her head slammed on to the ground. I climbed on top of her and she pulled me down on her lips kissing me ferally. I jumped back off her shaking my head.

"What the... heck was that?" I asked. She got up grinning at me.

"That was fun... I haven't done that in months..." I wiped her lipstick off of me.

"Did you know that looking someone in the eye is considered disrespectful in Native American culture?"

"Yeah... so? You're German." I stopped mid thought.

"How the hell do you know that?" I said.

"I can tell. I am too."

"I'm also Irish." I explained. Why the hell am I telling her that?

"Yeah, stopped caring."

"Anyway... I've just never been comfortable looking people in the eye."

"Well learn, it shows weakness around here." She made her way towards the door.

"Wait... what the hell was all that... what... where do we go from here?" I asked shook up.

"We?" she laughed.

"There is no we, there will never be a we, there never was a we. You might be useful to the Volturi, but not so much that I'm to fake some relationship." she laughed walking away.

Heidi's POV

Maybe that was too much. I started to feel a rumbling of the floor. What the hell is that? The shaking became more pronounced. A loud thud ripped through the room where Mike was, then a blast and another, and another. One after another I lost count. I ran to the sound and found a six foot hole that was too easy to walk through. I looked in and saw Mike. He was shaking both hands in fists pulled back ready to fire again, but hands glowing. He was growling in rage and I saw it in his eyes, that same look he had when he was in Minnesota the first time I saw him, the feral monster he could be. He opened both his arms and pushed them together to make a large ball of energy, snarling all the while. I looked past him and he'd burned through at least six walls of concrete on the other side of him and I looked back behind me seeing he'd done the same there.

"This all just a game to you Heidi?" He roared at me. I couldn't answer every word just caught in my throat. The rest of the guard were gathering around me.

"Now now Mike... let's calm down." Alec said appearing next to me.

"Shut up BOY" he snarled more at me than at Alec. Felix appeared behind Mike.

"Felix! Stop him." I pleaded. Mike spun before the words were out of my mouth and his free hand produced another ball of energy pointed directly at Felix. Mike's eyes closed.

"Mike's eyes are closed take him while he's not paying attention!"

"Shut up you dumb bitch!" Felix roared at me. I was taken back.

"One of his many skills he's acquired is sensing energy... he knows exactly where everyone is right now... no one can sneak up on him." I heard Mike let loose a dark laugh.

"Mike... please calm down... I'll fix whatever happened." Felix said calmly. He shook his head eyes still closed. I slowly moved silently from where his energy ball was pointed.

"You can't... that... …monster." He said pointing at me even though I'd moved.

"She... she played with my emotions, just a game to her... Just a game..." He said. Felix looked at me.

"I will deal with her... but you must calm down." Felix said trying to relax Mike. Mike rolled back his shoulders and cracked his neck only then had I noticed how pronounced his muscles were through his shirt. He breathed in slowly and opened his eyes. The energy disappeared from his hands as his body glowed, then even his body stopped glowing and he was left glaring at me. He took was final calming breath through his nose and turned and walked away. Felix glided towards Demetri and I stopping and glaring at us both.

"If either of you think it wise to fuck with Iverson again I swear I won't stop him again." He said mostly aimed at Demetri.

"He needed to learn about the danger of women and their seduction... it would only be a matter of time before someone tried to use it against it"

"Right, well if either of you fuck ups would have read his file you'd know he has trust issues, it's WHY he's here... damn it he needs to trust us because he doesn't trust any vampires right now... so you two better grin and be nice from now on because if your interference is why he leaves us you can be sure Aro will not be pleased."

Bors' POV

I don't approve of this but I suppose they can't all can't have my beliefs and principles. I watched as the three tested the limits of their new miracle drink. The undying thirst was gone... completely. To tell the truth I didn't blame them, and I was slightly envious. I wish I was as morally ambiguous and I could just sleep with anyone I wanted to. Curse you morals. I thought with a smile forcing down the alcoholic drink in my hand. Truth was a barely drank when I was human, and now if possible the alcohol tasted even more like shit. I watched the bar doing nothing, and even giving the cold shoulder to anyone who came up to me. My job was making sure nothing happened. Lancelot was talking up a beauty with brunette hair, he gently placed his hand on her back leading out of the bar. I glided across the bar, carefully dodging a waitress.

"Lance..." I said calling him by his name, trying not to draw attention.

"Oh hey Bors, This is Gwen." He introduced, as she shook my hand he glared at me.

"Lance, we've got an early morning tomorrow with our deployment... are you sure this is a good idea?"

"It's a great idea." he grinned at me before leaving. I tried to stop him but felt a strong hand restraining me.

"Let him go Bors..." Gawain told me. He was the largest of the other three knights.

"This is a mistake... no good can come from this." I heard Arthur laugh.

"People have one night stands all the time, nothing will happen." Arthur assured me.

"Everyone isn't us."
