on a roll now how will the visit with Aro go remember this is SM world all hail the queen

Chapter 12

We ran for two days stopping once for everyone to feed before we got to Volturi. A name Aro had given his coven. He had been busy since I had last seen him Zeus told me his coven's numbers equaled his own.

As we wait for the others to return Zeus looks at me. "I hear that he has found a lot of talented immortals for his coven. They all seem to defer to him and his brothers Marcus and Cassias."

"We have an understanding, Aro and I we traveled together he understands not to fuck with me."

"That may have been true but since he found the witch twins no coven let alone an individual has been able to stand against him." Zeus stares straight in to my eyes as he says this.

"He will try to get a look into my memories first or that of Kat's he will be in for a rude awakening. Then he will look at me through your eyes it should be enlightening."

"Do you wish me to take his hand the thief has already stolen my life twenty years ago when he visited my coven if I had known I would never had shaken his hand. The only thing of note is our relationship." He crooks a smile.

We had gotten off on a rocky footing but Zeus and I had a remarkable similar sense of humor. Mostly he was just waiting to see who I was going to kill next I was good theater. The rest of the group had shown up I looked at them all. "Fuck it let him see if you wish or not either way I will back your right to refuse. Kat make sure that your shield stays up the whole time we are there. You I want him to try to read I wish to see if your shield has some teeth."

We ran for his city and were met on the outskirts before we saw anyone. A massive immortal one to match Poseidon blocked our path. A young one only a few hundred years with the cocky attitude demands to know who we are and what we want.

I step forward; "I have come with these others to see my old friend Aro."

"Are you sick what is wrong with your eyes?"

I shake my head, now I have to deal with this child? "Look son just move out of the way before you get hurt."

He sizes me up and doesn't think much of me. "I am the best fighter in my coven little man, you have some big words there are you going to back them up?"

I point back with my thumb at Kat. "My daughter is looking for a little enjoyment. Kat no burning, but feel free to make him easier to transport."

He looked at Kat a 15 year old girl; he was five times the size if you took in with, height, thickness. Right away he thinks TALENTED. "She is gifted?"

I smile, "we all are."

He rethinks his position his gift is fighting but with eight immortals all gifted he would be dog meat in a matter of seconds. "I will escort you I cannot guaranty he will see you, might I ask your names."

Zhou laughs, "oh young one that should have been the first words out of your mouth. If you had addressed me in such a way you would have been ashes on the ground right now."

I give Zhou a nod and he settles into the group. "I am Mac and as you heard that is Kat. Master Zhou, Toa, Zeus, Hermes, Apollo, Minerva, Torrin, and his mate Serris." His face went a little paler with every name he still was unsure of me and Kat but the others had rung all his bells.

He bows to Zhou as if he must be the leader. "I will see you are brought to the castle."

"Don't look at me boy he tells him with a smile. Lord Death, or Thanatos, or Hades or to his friends Mac is in charge of this little get to gather."

With each name he shrinks a little more.

Kat looks on with a frown, "now you have scared him he was going to fight me." She stamps her foot and gives Zhou a dark look.

He smiles at her, "little tiger I wish to get cleaned up before watching you rip him to pieces."

"He needs to learn manners he has yet to give father his name. Might I not teach him the errors of his ways?"

Trying to right a sinking boat he bows to me. "My name is Felix lord Death. Please follow me." Decisive action was called for here.

As we walk through the gate three more of his coven mates join him and he starts to feel a little more secure. All of them pinging off my gift telling me they are all gifted. A young man all of 17 with blonde hair almost white storms out the castle.

"What is this? Felix who are these immortals?" Behind him a small girl no more than 13 stands with a smirk. "Jane, take them."

"Yes master," as long as you were within her sight she could drop you in the pain like what we felt during our change. Zhou, Toa, Zeus, Hermes, Apollo, Menerva, Torrin, and Serris dropped to the ground.

I looked over at the smirking blonde vampire. "Oh you really should not have done that." He was still sure that his six immortals would have no problem taking Kat and I. As I finished saying that Kat and I moved we both used Hermes's speed, they moved in front of Jane making her our last target. That was fine with me. I used the second power of my shield to bounce back Jane's gift at her at twice the power. Kat grabbed Felix dropping him to the ground Jane's gift putting him out of the fight. Now it's four to two. The others in our group are starting to move, every part of their bodies screaming at them. We rip heads off not trying for stile or form we let the true vampires out to play with all of our gifts and knowledge of fighting. I have the blonde's head in my hand and Kat almost has a fire going as Aro comes running out begging me to wait.

Zeus has a bolt trained on jane if she so much as raises her head he will fry her Zhou has Felix on the ground his arms locked in his back his teeth on his neck hoping he has an excuse.

"Please Mac don't." Of all the immortals we are threatening he looks at the head in my hands.

"You would beg for this one? He started this we came in peace."

"He acted rashly;" Aro was rubbing his hands together.

I knew my old friend; he might have sent them out here to see if Jane's gift would stop me. "What's he to you" I ask shaking the head buy the hair as Kat's fire gets going.

Aro's eyes look over at the flames. "He is Cassias co-ruler of my coven."

Eight more immortals file in behind Aro. A young boy looks at Jane on the ground then at Zeus smoke starts to snake out moving toward our group. "Tell him to stop or so help me I will kill everyone in your coven then burn them to ash." I said it with such cold in my voice you might think the temperature dropped thirty degrees.

Markus puts his hand on his brother's shoulder. Looks at Alex shakes his head and the mist stops.

Kat looks at the group, "smart move. Do we burn them dad?"

At her words Aro's head jerks to look at her his hand out stretched almost reaching for the head in my hand. A woman in the back being held from attacking, it must be her mate I am using as a basketball.

I look at him. "It was not only my coven that was attacked today Aro this fool thought to take out the leaders of the four strongest covens without even finding out who we are. I am only one vote here. Or maybe he knew and didn't care?"

"Fight them now or later dad what's the difference? How will any of us trust them with that one in charge?" She points to the head in my hand.

Zeus cracks a smile. "Kaytln has a point Mac." Deliberately using the name only friends call me.

Zhou and Torrin nod in agreement. The Romans stay quite.

I look at Aro and shrug "doesn't look to good for your boy here. The rest I can make a case for, they were following a coven lords orders. That's the only thing keeping them from becoming ash right now. That and the longtime friendship I have with you." Torrin wished to burn them all right away. Alex growled at that looking the Romanian in the eyes as if to say next time.

Thinking on his feet Aro turns to the only mated pair in the group. How would either of you feel if only one of you was killed in front of the other?

"I would die revenging her" Torrin told him.

"As would I my love" Serris kissed his cheek, "what is your point?"

"Is it right to kill two for the mistake of one?" He looks at me pleading with his eyes.

Zeus snorts "like that would have stopped him he motions with the hand not holding lightning pointing at the swinging head."

Zhou nods his agreement "I cannot stay my hand either."

Torrin having used the group mind looks at the mate crying and screaming. "We would show mercy not death some other form of punishment." The Romans just nod with Torrin's idea.

I look at Aro, "for our longtime friendship I agree with Torrin. What do you think is fair Aro? The loss of a limb? Take his sight? Do we burn the parts or hold them for a determined length of time? We can't lock him up like the humans so you tell us Aro what do you think is fair. What would he have done to us?"

Kat looks pissed; "dad if we were not here there would be eight piles of ash here." Aro's coven looks death glares at Kat. "What, she yells at them. You think you can do better than your coven mates than bring it on."

I shake my head with a smile, that's my little killer she has her back up now. I look at them behind Aro, "make sure you are prepared for the consequences of your actions. We can burn you all just as easy as I ripped up shit head here."

Aro hisses at them and they break eye contact with Kat and I. looking defeated, "which limb and how long?"

Zeus looks at him; "I'll take his leg for five hundred years."

Zhou speaks right after. "I'll take an arm for the same amount of time."

I look at Torrin. "That will suffice for my coven." Again the Romans nod trying to stay out of it.

I look at his body on the ground, fine. Kat makes a noise. I know Kat believes in the one penalty in the tribes rule.

She walks over and rips the two limbs off looking at Aro the whole time. "Dad I swear if he gets these back one second before his time is up I will come back and kill your friend Aro first, then move on to his coven." She hands the limbs to the two coven leaders then walks over grabs the head from me and tosses it to his mate. "Can we get on with this I find myself not liking this place so much?"

Markus steps up, "maybe we could meet after we have seen to our brother? We have some rooms ready for you."

I look at Aro, "I hope we will not have any more misunderstandings. Anyone who breaks the truce will have me to deal with me, and there will be no discussion at that point."

dum dum dum doesn't look like roses for Aro's coven. rr please
