"Got an A," Heather smiled as she looked at my English paper, I read it as well, something about it seemed to excite me as the red written comments, knowing I had something to be proud of that had nothing to do with what was given. That's good", I got a B plus, I hope its enough."
"Enough for what?" I asked with curiosity.
"Collage," Heather answered. "Have you thought about that?"
"No," I answered, honestly I never thought of furthering my education.
"Well, it's all I think about, I want to boost myself up in this world." Heather sighed as I heard tiny laugh from the group up front. I truly hated the others in my class, I didn't have to be Edward to realize they found it amusing Heather was trying to make a better life for herself. The vampire world was clearly simpler than the human world, and the fact that humans clamed everyone was equal but that was a clear lie. I noticed other humans looked down on Heather, as if they were below her. That was something I had a hard time understanding, what rules set humans like Brittney Snow or Daniel Taylor above Heather, was there a law or something that stated so. Humans had much more laws, many unwritten just went by word of mouth. Some of their laws weren't even set up by any kind of government, like the kind that says Brittney and Daniel were more important than Heather. Truly the vampire world was much more simpler, if the Volturi didn't make it a law than be their guest end of story.
"I am actually filling out scholarship form, I need three teacher recommendations, I already asked Mr. Tolteo, I am going to ask Mrs. Collar after class, and I think I am going to ask your mom if you don't mind?" Heather said looking at me.
"No, not at all," I answered as the bell rang. I put my paper in the folder to keep track of it, I was truly proud I wrote it, it felt like I had place in the human world as confusing as it was for me.
Heather walked up to Mrs. Collar, I notice the bump on her stomach was getting even larger and her hand was bracing it a lot more, and I also started to detect two heart beats like she had another person inside that bump. I notice the teachers and even the students were treating her different constantly carrying her things for her , letting her eat in class, and sometimes when she pressed her hand against her abdomen and slowly sat in the hallway nearby teachers, students and basicly whoever was around would gather around her like she was a time bomb in till she felt comfortable again.
"Mrs. Coller," Heather started holding the form.
"Yes," She looked over to her as she took a drink of water.
"May, I please ask you a huge favor?" Heather asked nervously. "Do ya mine fillin' this out?" She than handed over the paper.
"Sure," Mrs. Coller looked at it. "No problem, Heather, you work hard, you deserve it."
"Thankyou so much," Heather smiled as Mrs. Coller smiled back.
"I'll have it back to you sometime next week," Mrs. Coller said. "See you tomorrow, Felix, good luck at football."
"Thanks," I answered.
"Have a nice day," Mrs. Coller smiled, giving our cue to leave. Heather nodded and wished the same as we left heading to Esme's room who sat in detention with Amber once again as well as at least seventeen others. Esme seemed rather quiet since I came home last night, almost as if she couldn't deiced on something. I wondered if she figured out Anthenodora was her new phone buddy or not.
"Mrs. Cullen, may I ask a huge favor form you," Heather came in nervously.
"Yes," Esme started.
"Can you write by any chance write a scholarship recommendation?" Heather asked trying to sound confident.
"Sure, no problem, Heather." Esme smiled taking it.
"Thankyou," Heather said happily as Esme took the form.
"Well, good luck with band practice, and Felix good luck at football." Esme smiled as she continued correcting papers. "I am going to be here for awhile, Felix, if Dora calls, keep her entertained till I get home. "
"Sure," I answered wondering if she knew, and if she did what made her figure it out.
"You are in the band?" I asked.
"Well sort of, I'm on the flag team, the only problem is we have Tiffany Newton as team captain, she is trying to find which one of us should be the baton twirler and I swear in less you can bend like an Romanian Olympic Gymnast you won't meet her standers." Heather sighed as she went to her locker, I waited for her. "Natalie is on the team this year too, Sue Clearwater paid for her sports fee, which sort of made me upset, because I can do it. I than found out someone paid for mine, which is strange? Leah also volunteered to watch Nevaeh, which means that Collin kid will be around playing with her. You know, I really am starting to like him, he seems to care about her."
"He does," I said just listening to her.
"Well, at least he's better than Mother, she's not home much anyway. She yelled at Kelly the other day, almost broke into a fight," Heather sighed.
"About what?" I asked.
"Well, mom came home drunk and puked on Kelly's only sweater." Heather said sadly. "She than called Kelly an ungrateful brat because Kelly was making a big deal of it, Kelly yelled and said she can't be ungrateful for nothing. Which if you think about it, that's what she mainly had given us. She then grabbed Kelly by the arm and pushed her out into the rain and told her if she was so upset about that sweater set outside and see what's it like without one. She than forbid Natalie and I from letting her in, something kept her warm those. Grandma than came home and let her in, grandma has more authority than Mom."
"That's good," I answered wishing something could be done, with out breaking the treaty it made me feel rather useless I couldn't protect Heather all the time.
"Speaking of which, do you mind doing me a favor on Saturday?" Heather asked kindly. "Casey called again, apparently she is doing well in rehab and wants to see Nevaeh."
"Why?" I asked.
"I don't know, she just wants to see her," Heather shrugged, Rosalie is going to hate this idea. "Anyway, its not in a very good neighborhood so I was wondering if you could come with me, to keep me safe."
"Sure," I answered without a second thought.
"Good," Heather smiled as we came out to the bleachers I was already dressed for practice. "Can I take your picture?"
"Yes, of course," I answered as Heather pulled out a camera to give me a snap shot.
"Thank you," Heather smiled. "See you after practice."
I walked out onto the football field, the first thing I notice was Emmett, and Rosalie sitting on the bleachers holding a camera to record me. That made me nervous, the couch came out and blew his whistle it was time to begin. 'I am not going to hurt anybody, I am not going to hurt anybody' those were the only thoughts in my mind as they made the first pass. I was the linebacker my job was to tackle my opponent before they tackle my team member who has the ball…..without killing them. I watched as they set up for the first play. I went to get the kid, and I tried to tackle him down but his blood got to me so I was force to let him go, making him reach my teammate costing us a point. 'Its just practice' as I heard a soft sigh of frustration coming from Emmett as Rosalie tried to comfort him, the coach than gave me a lecture how I need to pin him before he gets to the running back. I nodded, Emmett and Jacob told me that at least a thousand times. I had to get ready for the next play, and than I got scared I would break one of his bones so I loosen my grips and he got away and it happen again. The couch than screamed at me as I tried again and again, every time it was the same thing. I wished the couch new the true reason why this was so hard. He went to the side and watched as Rosalie came down and stood next to him. I notice they were arguing and finally Rosalie yelled "Felix, I need to talk to you get over here." She said it in a tone of voice that made even me, who was three times her size scared not to obey.
"What's going on?" She asked in a low enough voice so only the two of us could hear.
"I am trying not to hurt them," I whispered.
"I see," Rosalie nodded agreeing it was first priority.. "You also have to worry about the others getting hurt too."
"Do explain?" I started confused.
"Remember that night when that nomadic woman was going after Rensemee," Rosalie started. "Jacob was trying to runaway with her, what did you do?"
"Stopped her," I answered obviously.
"Exactly," Rosalie nodded. "Now, imagine if you will, Renesmee is the ball, Jacob is the running back, the defensive end is the nomad on the other team, and the goal posts is our house. You need to stop the nomad before she reaches Rensemee. Also remember the nomad has a mate that has a power that can easily kill you. You don't want to get in trouble with her but you want to stop the nomad so Jacob can reach the house. Do you understand?"
"Sort of," I answered starting to understand a little bit.
"Right, you want Jacob to get Rensemee to the house without the nomad catching them and make sure you don't get in trouble with their mate." Rosalie smiled. "Agreed."
"Yes," I answered. "I just have one question what about Edward and Bella?" wouldn't they want to defend their daughter.
"They can be the passers," Rosalie shrugged.
"What about Alice and Jasper?" I asked this was really confusing.
"Their the kickers," Rosalie shrugged again. "If if makes you better Carlisle, Esme, Emmett and I are all blockers and Tanya's family can be the cheerleaders if you want a position for them, heck, the Volturi can be the band for all I care. The point is are you going to make sure Jacob gets Rensemee to the house unharmed?"
"Yes," I answered.
"Good, because our coven is counting on you, don't let us down." Rosalie smiled and left as she walked across the field confidently while my other teammates whistled at her. Thinking of that little play didn't make it hard at all, I didn't want to kill the nomad or his mate would kill me…..I did want to make sure Jacob got to the house unharmed. I couldn't help but notice Rosalie's and Emmett's smiles as the couch got happier and happier as if the accomplished something.
When I got home I notice Edward and Esme having a short conversion, and became instantly silent as soon as I walked in the door. I wanted to wonder what they were talking about, but instead I went up to do my homework and went hunting so I can check on Heather safely. I remained in the trees as Kelly came home in an orange t-shirt, ripped jeans and a noise ring with her hair cut short like a boy. She walked out to the back porch with Nevaeh rocking her, trying to plug her ears as she wondered into the woods and hide behind a large tree.
I than heard a loud noise coming from the window, I looked into it and heard a wild laugh coming from the mother who was with a group of rather large men wearing a mini skirt and a tang top. She was a strange human being, she always ran around in short skirts and tang tops with dirty greasy brown hair, tan skin that seemed so raged, not like an old lady's those but like a wash cloth that's been in water for way too long. She had blackened teeth and a hard face that had a scar going down her cheek. She had a rather loud laughter that rung through the woods, I notice Heather coming home next.
I felt everything inside me jumped as one of her mother's male friends started glaring at her through the window, the way he watched her come around to the other end of the trailer made me sick, sicker than sick. I didn't need to be Edward to figure out what he was thinking my basic instincts told me, and it made my angry, ferrous beyond ferrous as everything inside me wanted to clobber him.
I watched him as Heather went over to talk to Kelly, who was crying and gave her a hug, she than took Neveah. They went back to their car and drove off, I watched the man's every move and listen to his every words. He waited for Heather to come back, alone this time I wondered where she took Kelly and Neveah, somewhere safe I hope, which seemed to be rare in the human world. I watched as the man started talking to her, I could tell Heather knew he was dangerous because she walked backwards towards the door and went into the trailer. I than saw her heading into her sisters' bedroom to change, her mother was with a group of them doing something in the grandmothers room. I noticed the man come behind the trailer watched her changed from a small dirt cluttered window. He smiled, reminding himself on the times when her grandmother was working, and notice her mother in an absolute strange state. The men were leaving, she was now sitting on the couch again staring into space as a needle was sitting beside her.
I watch the man smile at her as Heather remained in her sisters' room, doing her homework peacefully, he was about to head in….and I stopped him. She looked out upon hearing the man's scream, but didn't see me and continued. I wondered if I should of killed him or if that would break the treaty with the wolves. I didn't care about the treaty with the shape-shifters, I wanted gone and away from Heather for good. I looked around, and saw a small gray wolf watching…I was worried on who it was, I didn't drink his blood so I could say it wasn't for hunting purposes. I tried to think of an excuse in till Seth Clearwater phased into his human formed. He witnessed the entire thing, I debated on were to go if the Cullens send me away, I don't think I can handle Voltarra at this point not with Heather living such a vulnerable lifestyle.
"Why did you do that?" He asked nervously.
"He was going to attack Heather," I answered as he gave him a disgusted look.
"This is the man who attacked Casey," Seth explained. "Natalie told me about it….thats why she left."
"Does Heather know?" I asked curiously.
"I don't know, Natalie was there after it happened, Casey refused to go to the hospital…this man deserved it," He said angrily.
"Are you going to tell…" I asked.
"I'll try not to think about it," Seth answered. "As a matter of fact, take the body and throw it off the cliff, don't drink his blood. You do know, you broke treaty, you have to make sure no one but us knows."
"I will," I answered slightly worried this is what will cause me to be thrown out of the Cullens. I could try being a nomad for awhile, except taking humans and thinking of who I would be taking them from would be a problem for me now.
"Here, I will help," Seth said as I grabbed the body. He led me past the field that I had confronted the Cullens twice being the enemy, so strange seven months later I was now trying hard to stay with them. Seth led me to the edge of his land were we stood over the gigantic cliff.
"Wait here," Seth ordered as I waited nervously, worried Alice would see and tell them all I had killed someone, I didn't feel guilty for killing him but I did not want to go back to Volturi. It wasn't because of Aro's orders I was worried this man's friend will attack Heather out of vengeance, or her mother would end her. I didn't want to leave Heather unprotected, I was sure she would survived but I didn't want to take my chances. I felt my reason for this diet and for the Cullens lifestyle changing, and it was because of this human who didn't have two cents to her name. A human who could easily be a vampire's prey considering no one would report her missing, or the police would most likely not search for her as easly. She was a human I cared about, for some reason I had cared for her deeply and I had a feeling I would probably still care for her when she was old and gray. As soon as Seth and I set up the little accident scene we agreed it would be a good time to separate. I headed back home as Carlisle sat with Jacob who seemed to be filling out a form.
"Well, I like the mint chocolate, and I know dad likes the Do-si-dos, Rachel being a former troop herself likes the Trefoils…Bella what does Charlie like?" Jacob asked looking over.
"Samoas," Bella answered as Jacob checked it off.
"What about the pack?" Carlisle asked.
"You want to buy my whole pack girl-scot cookies?"Jacob asked, wondering if he was serious
"Yes, I am in a bind." Carlisle explained. "After my new boss had her daughter come in dressed in her uniform saying in front of the whole hospital I have a big family so I am a shoe in to buy these stupid things I really have no choice." He sounded frustrated.
"Well, , Leah and Seth will buy from Leah's old troop, Quil will wait and order from Clair's troop but…" Jacob paused as Carlisle gave him a hard look. "Collin might buy Neveah the Thanks-a-Lot, Seth won't mind splitting a box of Lemon Chalet Creams with Natalie, Embry will eat the Daisy Go Rounds, despite the lables, and if I am getting the whole tro…I mean pack Quil will eat a whole box of Dulce De Lench with out thinking, Collin sounds like the kind of guy who eats the Lemonades and Leah will not be happy if I didn't get the Thank u Berry Much." Jacob said as Carlisle filled out the paper.
"What about the suger free Chocolate boxes?" Carlisle laughed which was followed out by a laugh from Jacob with a little snicker from Bella in the backround.
"What?" Carlisle asked.
"You obviously haven't been human for awhile." Jacob smiled. "I can say this no one will get the sugar free, it will most likely be a gift for Sam's pack."
"Hey," Bella yelled noticing I was standing there. "Esme needs to speak to you."
"About what?" I asked.
"I don't know, she went hunting, but sometime after homework she says." Bella pointed out as I shrugged and nodded.
"Speaking of Sam's pack," Carlisle started. "What will they like?"
"They are saving their money, they won't order anything." Jacob explained as the rest of the family looked at him.
"For what?" Edward asked.
"I don't know, its very strange, I heard Sam is not to happy with Paul right now. He sent him and Rachel to Europe, I don't know which country, and I don't know why it was necessary to send Rachel along. Anyway they didn't bring back whatever they were sent for, which got the whole pack, manly the unimprinted ones upset with him. So they are saving up to send Sam and Emily to go get it." Jacob shrugged. "I don't know what their large number of wolves who haven't imprinted has to do with this trip to Europe, but I really don't care."
"He was here the other day," Rosalie started. "Asking how long does it take a new non-vegetarian vampire to adjust. I told him I don't know because its different for each one, Jasper for example had to be isolated for at least two years, but Felix here seemed to have it control. Of course his former coven is mainly about control. Also from what I hear, Garrett was able to go into Juno after a couple months, he needed Eleazar and Kate to go with him but he handled it."
'And I met Heather to keep me in control' I thought to myself.
"Why was he asking?" I asked.
"Who knows?" Emmett shrugged. "Alice can't see anything with them, so whatever they are up to they are going to get away with it."
'That means she didn't see me kill the man' I thought to myself relived as I slowly made my way to my room. I got an email from Santiago, which surprised me…he figured out how to use a computer.. It had been awhile since I checked my email, and I almost didn't care in till I got one from him. Santiago was not the smartest vampire to be created, but he was good to have around. Next to Heidi, Santiago had the easiest time of getting along with non-Volturi members. He was the head body guards, in charge of placing them and decideding who was protecting who, I was the head executioner which made us pretty equal when ranking on guard duty. He was created by Caius for some unknown reason. I truly think Caius was in a good mood and decided to change some random person (with Caius that is believable) but my creation with Aro was also random, it was something that just happened.
I knew the wives found Santiago useful, mainly because he wasn't good at keeping secrets. Like when Sulipica came home with Jane after the whole Seattle thing. He was the one who told her Aro never sends both the twins on a mission, he keeps one around to talk to her on the phone and make up excuses for the others abstance. I think he was trying to help when Sulpicia asked Aro what if something happened to them and she came home to find both her children gone. Another time when we came to Seattle and the Japanese coven came with a bunch of Asian nomad friends all ready for the Grand Caynon, he told them we have to make a stop at the Cullens first. I don't think he means to get Caius and Aro in trouble, but they manipulate him into telling the truth so easily.
From what I heard he took over as executioner, which is most likely the reason Alec went alone, because Aro knew if Anthenodora offered to do his laundry, it will come out eventually and she would tell Sulpicia. The letter was very honest.
Dear Felix,
Everyone is acting very strange, Marcus seems to be happier than usual, while Aro seems to be a bit miserable. Corin left for awhile, I don't know where Marcus sent her. All I know is, she got a letter in the mail, but wouldn't say who it is from. It angered her those, she got very angry at Aro, Rendell stopped her form attacking. The next day she packed up, Marcus said she went to visit the French coven and will be back eventually.
Aro is acting very strange, I don't know what is going on but the other night while Anthenodora forced Caius to go shopping so she can get a new purse from the after Easter sales. Demetri, Heidi and I were alone on the floor, Heidi was reading this book called 'Harlequin Romance' it's a series she's been into for the last couple decades. Anyway that reminded me of this one night stand I had with a nomad in North America. It was on our way back from Razor Way's trial, I wondered away and ran into this lonely nomad that found my uniform appealing and while…you know. So I started to tell Demetri about it, and he told me it was a lie, and I said it wasn't and he said simply 'you did not' and I said 'Did too' and he said 'did not' and I said 'did to' and he said 'did not'.
The pattern continued on for about ten minutes in till a voice came from behind us 'what are you to arguing about?' and I looked over to see Aro was standing right there. The two of us stood instantly as Heidi continued reading, ignoring him.
The first thing I said was 'Nothing, can I get you anything master'
And he said 'no, continue with what you are doing, I am just here to visit.'
'Master' Demetri started 'May I ask why?'
'No' Aro started. "I just wanted to see how you were doing, this is just a casual evening, you can call me Aro for tonight.'
'Alright' Demeter than slowly made out the words 'Aaarrrrooo, would…you….like….to….sit….down."
"Sure' Aro answered as he sat down in our bright living room, I than heard him scrunching as if he was moving around. Heidi didn't even look up, she just continued reading but than turned her head turned towards Aro, and she asked, "Would you like a pillow to sit on?"
"No, I'm fine Heidi, but may I ask why am I sitting on plastic." Aro then looked all over and realized the couch was covered with it.
"Anthenodora doesn't want the couch to get dusty so she puts plastic over it." Heidi explained than continued reading as Demetri and I stared at him, it was so strange the way he was talking to us, it was like he was trying to be equal or something. We than heard a sniff in the air as Aro looked around searching for something.
"What are you looking for Mas…I mean Aro." I started quickly.
"Just curios, why does your floor smell like lemon?" Aro asked.
"What?" Demetri asked confused.
"Your floor, why does it have that lemony fragrance." Aro asked again, I never notice that before.
"It smells like lemon?" Demetri asked. "It always smelled like that since pine sol was invented."
"Oh" Aro started as he sat down and looked towards Heidi who seemed to ignore him. "So what are reading?"
"Are you talking to me?" Heidi asked realizing it.
"Yes, I am taking an interest, what classic novel are you reading lately?" Aro asked with a wide smile. "You know me, I like having intelligent conversions on litature."
"Well it's called 'A Secret of Infatuation'" Heidi answered. "Oh, it's part of the Harlequin Romance series"
"Oh, I'm not acquainted with that, what is it about?" Aro asked curiously.
"Mainly…."Heidi started. "People getting together and making love."
"Oh," Aro said I don't think he knew what he was getting into. "Interesting, so you read those a lot."
"Well more than just read," Heidi started.
"Alright, which one is your favorite?" Aro said cutting her off.
"Well, I have a couple, one is about this man falling for this woman who has had such a hard life, I like it because he was raised to look down on her. Another is about this widower helping this widow and they fall for each other despite their grief. Another is about this bratty girl visiting extended family members on the beach and falling in love with her relative's best friend. The other is about this confused hit man hired to kill this girl instead he falls in love with her and they go to a foreign land to spend their lives together. Another is about this wondering guy who was visiting his friends, and is hired to kill this boy but falls for his cousin.. Another is about these childhood friends who ended up being separated and well the leading very different lives, the girl ends up hating the boy, but later after the boy's life falls apart he goes after the girl and they fall in love with each other."
"Oh, well, always love discussing litature," Aro said, it was strange it seemed as if he was trying to get out of this conversion.
"However, my absolute favorite is this woman who gave up her rich life to run in the woods with this dashing handsome man who has a nerd personality, and even those most find him repulsive she just finds it sexy and they live together. And I have to say, the girl is a lot like me." Heidi smiled as Aro gave her uncomfortable glances. "Do you see what I mean?"
"Well….No," Aro answered. "Don't want to get overwhelmed with too much intellectual thought." Demetri and I just stared at him not knowing what to say, it was so strange and uncomfortable. I think he wanted to talk to us like he was trying to get to know us or something, I don't know if he was trying to have a regular conversion or what. He looked towards us and asked "So what were you two discussing?" So I told him the story which led back to Demetri's 'did not,' and mine 'did too' for about an hour which was eventually broken by two loud voices 'This is why I can never take you shopping?' making Aro relived, but I don't know why he was thanking the gods.
'Well, you life was in danger,' that was when Heidi stood up and exited at vampire speed, than came back with a book on car mechanics. Soon Anthenodora came up with Caius caring her bags. The first thing they notice was Aro sitting in our living room, they didn't say much those, just looked at him with awkward smiles.
Anthenodora ignored him and took some of the bags Caius was caring, handed one to Demetri. "I got you a new sweater."
"Oh, you didn't have to-" Demetri started as he pulled the sweater of the bag, it was this brown and orange checkered sweater that had rather bright colors. Demetri smiled when he looked at it, "You really didn't, but thank you."
"Welcome." Anthenodora smiled. "Now, I am going to take these bags into the room and when I come back we are going to sit down and enjoy each other like family, that means you Caius." She than walked pasted Heidi and smiled, "I am glad you're taking some reasonability thing and studying car repairs." Heidi smiled back as Aro just stared at the two of them and left. It was back to that strange awkward silence again.
"So what was that about?" Aro started.
"The store was trying to kill us, they were putting matches next to the fireworks." Caius explained.
"And that was worth leaving the store?" Aro asked.
"Yes," Caius pointed out. "Very much so, so what brings you here?"
"Oh, just looking for some company." Aro said as Anthenodora came through.
"A little lonely there." She committed towards him.
"Yes, Anthenodora, now that my wife took my most two valued members." Aro said rather sarcastically.
"Don't talk to her like that," Caius said almost wanting to break his head off.
"I was being sarcastic," Aro pointed out, it sounded like he was getting annoyed with Caius.
"Well, why don't you just make it up with her," Anthenodora started. "But I must say, I am surprised they haven't been writing. Why is that?"
"Well…." Aro started as we all stared at him. "It's hard to say but…."
"Sarango take off your pants," Anthenodora started. "Caius get me the ironing board."
"What?" I asked.
"They are wrinkled and the hem is lose, now give them to me." Anthenodora ordered as I obeyed and went on to get a pair of jeans. When I came back out she was searching furiously through the room. 'Where is it, where is it, its time, its time I don't want to be late and think I don't care." She was searching for something, while Aro just started at her like she had two heads or something. Demetri finally got up, went to get her purse and pulled out her cell phone.
"Thank you, my favort tractor' She smiled as she kissed him on the cheek. She than dialed a number and started talking. "Esme, my friend, how are you?' Anthenodora started as she continued her search while Demetri went to get a cushion ball full of needles. Anthenodora smiled again and continued her conversion. "Right now I am sewing my son's pants and then I plan on ironing them.' She continued to search as Demetri went to a small cupboard and pulled out a spindle of black thread, while Caius came back and tried to set up an ironing board.
"Get away from that you don't know what you are doing?" Anthendora said quickly as Caius nodded and sat back down. "I know, it's called multitasking, Opra was talking about it, of course before electricity that was basically something you did in almost every task….I know, humans are so spoiled today, like today I was talking to this sales woman who said I had to wait for the scanner to ribose to make my parches, I was like couldn't we just give you the money ,my husband will freak if you don't get us out of here….yes, I know'."
"You know what your problem is Aro?" Caius started.
"What?" Aro asked sarcastically.
"Your jealous of me," Caius answered.
"Why…..on earth…..would I be jealous of you?" Aro said confused.
"Because I am friends with Carlisle Cullen now, and you're not." Caius answered.
"What?" Aro asked.
"When the wives are friends, the husbands our friends its only natural." Caius stated. "Right, dear."
"Yes, of course, dear," Anthenodora stated kindly and continued.
"See," Caius started. "As a matter of fact, I think that's who she's talking to right now."
"What?" Aro started.
"Esme Cullen," Caius said. "She's been talking to her for months, and the two have started a good friendship."
"Anthenodora, who are you talking to?" Aro asked as she ignored him and continued. "Anthenodora, who are you talking to."
"Esme dear, can you hold on for a minute, my brother is being terribly rude." Anthendora than paused. "The annoying one that made us travel half way across the world for no apparent reason,….yes like that Ren..es..mee…I got it right….good…..yes, and you have first hand account to that." She than put the phone to her shoulder. "ARO WHAT DO YOU WANT!" She boomed loudly.
"Who are you talking to?" Aro asked.
"My new friend, Esme Cullen, why do you care?" She asked.
"Is Carlisle there?" Aro asked, "I need to make up with him."
"Than you call him and make up on your own time, not my time with my friend." Anthenodora than continued her conversion with Esme as Aro tried to grabbed the phone from Anthenodora in till she shouted. "Caius, get Aro away from the phone."
"Let her talk to her friend," Caius said grabbing Aro.
"Oh, ask that again," Anthenodora said. "Aro tried grabbing the phone, but don't worry Caius stopped it…..yes, I thought you knew, please don't have any sympathy for me I am the only one who could put up with him….well, Aro heard about our friendship and tired to grabbed the phone but I said no because our friendship is really important, I am so glad we became friends most people aren't very understanding of Caius and well, I told you…..yes, and I am glad you could look past that too, some have stop being my friends when they witnessed his breaking points and you looked past that and became my friend I am really glad to get to know you….alright, well call you next week then." Anthenodora hung up the phone. "Great, happy now, she didn't want her husband talking to you so she 'had to go', Aro and its all your fault."
"Are you sure it was that?" Aro asked.
"What else could it be, its not like she didn't want to talk to her?" Caius started.
"Well, I would of liked to talk to Carlisle," Aro started as Anthenodora gave him a rather disappointed look. "What?"
"You know, your creation is there too," Anthenodora started.
"Felix," Aro said looking down at his feet as if he forgotten or something. (That was one thing I notice when he talked about my creation, he never looked directly at me.)
"Isn't strange your more worried about your friendship with Carlisle than the friendship with your own wife?" Anthenodora asked.
"Do you know how to mind your own business?" Aro started which caused a hiss from Caius causing Aro to roll his eyes.
"At least we're honest with each other," Anthenodora started.
"You shout at each other all the time," Aro said as if he was getting frustrated.
"Hey, that's part of our honesty, when I think she's being an annoying nag I say so and when it's really bad I say 'keep the mouth trap for a minute will you'." Caius said looking towards her.
"And when I think he's being an insensitive jerk I say so, and I have no problem saying 'Hey, leave me alone for a miniature' and of course he doesn't," Anthenodora said as they smiled towards each other. "Deity, I lost a button can you..." that was when Demetri got up and grabbed a button from under the couch. "Oh, thank you, I think I am going to make a sweater for my new friend, Esme, do you think she'll like that?"
"She better," Caius answered as Aro watched Demetri closely.
"I'll get started on it as soon as I find my kni-" Anthenodora than smiled as soon as Demetri came out from their room with a basket of yarn and two large needles.
"Thankyou, I am so glad we have the best tracker in the world." She smiled as she pinched his cheek, Demetri nodded without saying anything.
"Yes, he is," Aro said as if he came to some kind of realization. "Demetri, do you mind coming with me for a minute, I need to talk to you about something."
I don't know what Aro asked Demetri to do, but whatever it was got him stared up because he came back very upset almost angry. "What is it Demetri?" Anthenodora asked worried.
"I'm sending Demetri on a mission," Aro explained. "He needs to fine someone for me."
"Shouldn't he go to Greece and get Alec or Jane first?" Caius asked. "So he can't be harm."
"Should I go to Greece and get Jane for this particular mission?" Demetri asked looking at Aro, I think it was Alec's turn this time.
"No, but afterwards you can go there if you wish." Aro answered as they nodded. "We will have to find other guard members who can protect you those."
"Can I come," I asked getting excited.
"Sure," Demetri started. "We need to get some organizing done too, Renata could come, Rendell too, since he is living here he should make himself useful."
So that's it, I am going on a mission, we are still figuring out who to take, Demetri is not telling me were we are going but he insure us it's a rescue mission and I am looking forward to it. Tell you more as it gets organized. All I know is, he is in charge and we are figuring it out as we go along.
See you around,
Sarango.
They were going to get Alec, the strange thing about it, I didn't care anymore. I was starting to become less and less loyal to the Voltari. I was however glad someone went to make sure Alec was safe.
