Chapter 5: Have Patience
(Aro POV)
My usual act of immense happiness was becoming more difficult to put on. Ever since our meeting with the Cullen's, It's been harder so be my optimistic self. Alice's Vision was clear. If we would have fought, We would have perished for sure, The Volturi would have been no more. I was humiliated. But I made a promise to myself and my brothers that we would return and destroy the Cullen's. However we can't just show up and try to kill them without cause. We need a reason. We had a reason when they were suspected of creating an immortal child. However, Another opportunity may not fall in our lap so easily like the last did. We would have to keep an eye on them. Any slip up of any kind, the smallest slip up, We will be there. Caius insists on badgering me about them consorting with werewolves. But no matter what I say he won't listen. He doesn't understand that those were not werewolves, but Shape shifters. It's not very common but Native American tribes do tend to have members who can shape shift into the animals they feel fit to destroy vampires.
I sighed thinking about it as I sat on my throne. I knew My decisions were still being watched. After reading Alice's thoughts that day in Forks, I found out that she would forever watch my decisions that referred to the Cullen's. I Decided too soon and we took our time to confront them. We will not make that mistake this time. We will not give them time to assemble another Battalion. But for now I will send someone to keep a watchful eye on them. A small group of my guards. However I can't be the one to choose the group. I would need someone to make my decisions for me once again. I can't very well have Jane do it for me again, for she is surely being watched now also. It's so unfortunate since Jane is one of my most trusted guards. Now I will have to rely on someone else. It will have to be a guard that Alice has never met. Someone who stayed here while we were in Forks. I also need someone to appoint this guard for me. This was all so very frustrating… Ive got it!
I stood from my throne and made my way out of the empty throne room, running as fast as I could to my chambers. Once I arrived I gently and slowly opened the doors to see my precious wife Sulpicia sitting on an old antique red couch reading a very old book. She looked up at me and gave me the sweetest smile. "Mio caro angelo." I would address her. "How are you feeling, Mio amore?" Her beautiful soft smile would grow slightly as she closed her book. "I am well Mio caro marito. What brings you here so early in the day?" I smiled softly at her. This beautiful woman made me so happy. I would reply in a soft voice as I moved to sit beside her on the couch. "Well My sweet, I would like to send a small group of our Guards to check up on the Cullen's but..-" I was suddenly cut off by my wife by her soft chuckling. "I can already see where this is going Aro. I understand your decisions are being watched. I will take care of it Mio amore." My dear Sulpicia knew me like the back of her hand. She knew what I was asking. She knew I wanted her to be the one to decide who will be the guard to make the decisions for me while they were watching the Cullen's. I loved this woman with all my might. Such an Intelligent, beautiful, strong woman. I would lean in to give her a gentle kiss on her lips then I would stand from the couch to stand in front of her. I looked down to her beautiful face, grazing her soft cold cheek with my fingers. "Choose wisely my dear." I spoke to her. She continued to smile softly at me, turning her head slightly to kiss my fingers. I stood there for a few more seconds gazing at her, then I would turned away from her and make my exit, closing the doors quietly and gently.
As I turned away from the doors I would run back to the throne room, reaching it in seconds. I would return to my throne, folding my hands in my lap. "Jane." I would say in a normal calm tone. Within Seconds Jane would open the throne room doors and made her way to stand a meter in front of me. "Master." She would address me. "I would like you to find your brother, and the both of you go to my chambers to escort my wife to the guards Chambers. She has some business to tend too." Sulpicia wasn't allowed to roam castle alone. She was always guarded wherever she went. Her safety was the most important thing to me. "As you wish Master." Jane would state in a very professional like way. She would turn to make her way out of the throne room and as she did, Caius would enter the room as she exited. Caius seemed irritated, but When was the man not irritated? The man's normal face was a slight scowl. Caius made his way to my left to sit in the throne beside me. I continued to stare forward, but I could feel Caius' eyes on me. I closed my eyes and sighed quietly through my nose. "What is on your mind brother?" I asked knowing I was about to get a bundle full of a rotten attitude.
Caius spoke calmly but you could still hear slight irritation in his voice. "I am still simply wondering what it is the Cullen girl showed you that obviously changed your mind of our plans fairly quickly." I sighed again. He was referring to the vision. "Brother, I have told you multiple times.. It was nothing you need concern yourself with." I would state in a firm tone. Both Caius and Marcus wanted to know what it was I saw. However I could never tell them. Caius would lose his mind and go on a rampage. Marcus would-... Well actually as I saw it in the vision, Marcus' prayers had been answered when he was killed by the Romanians. Speaking of which, Stefan and Vladimir are another coven that has avoided us for much too long. We've been trying to destroy the last of the old Romanian rule for centuries. We stopped our search for them long ago because we couldn't find them, even with our Best tracker Demetri. The Romanians just kept moving, making it impossible to catch up to them. But when I stopped the search I was convinced they were not a threat to us. After seeing the vision, it is clear that I was wrong. They need to be dealt with, and they will be. As soon as The Cullen's are no more, The Romanians will be next.
It was silent for a few moments before Caius would speak out again. "So what are we going to do about the Cullen's?" I remained silent for a few seconds as I thought about what I was going to say. I couldn't tell him of my plan, for it was better if he knew nothing at all for the time being. "Fear not brother. We will be meeting again with the Cullen's soon enough. Have patience my dear brother." Caius having patience, That would be the day. I could hear Caius sigh in irritation to my statement. "Well then.. Should this suggest you have gotten over your need for the psychic Cullen?" Caius would ask. Even though my resentment continued to grow for the Cullen's, I still wanted and needed Alice. I have never had a vampire with a gift like hers. She will join the Volturi, weather it is against her will or not. I did not answer Caius' question. I just continued to stare forward, thinking.
