don't own any of S.M. peps just my little twist

Chapter 13

They gave us a wing of their castle. Signs of occupants hastily relocations in every room; Looking around Kat has a frown on her face.

"That was a mistake dad. Mark my words this will come back to bite us in the ass."

I look at her, "we need someone in charge I am optimistic Aro will see the advantage to my proposal. God knows we don't want the job."

That brings a smile to her face. "Ya the last thing we need is to run this circus. We would end up killing everyone. Well almost everyone Zhou and Toa are just too polite to kill."

"Yes they put a high priority on servility." I looked a little thoughtful, "you know that was the first time I ever let the vampire fully out."

She had my memories, "I also lost it back there. You have to know we are no longer human dad we are at the top of the predators. We may not eat them, and as much as we wish to interact with them you must never forget the hunter simmers just under the surface. We are other, time will pass we will still be here humans will be gone in the blink of an eye. I hope I am wrong about your friend Aro. But I can tell by your body language you don't believe Aro is blameless."

I sighed "can you let me have my little fantasy here? I have to pretend to believe him so the others can pretend too. None of them wish to have the job can you blame them. I am amazed Aro would wants to herd this group it's like trying to herd cats', good luck. We will probably have to step in and help on a regular basis. Good thing you like a good scuffle and are impossible to rip apart."

"Ya that's me," "are you Sara Connors?" She looks at me, "should I tell Aro "I'll be back"?"

I smile at my perfect little killer; "no it would just go over his head." Terminator was my all-time fav movie. "You might be smarter than sky-net sweetie."

We sat for a day visiting with our new friends that came with us but after the talk Kat and I had, I had a shift in my thoughts. I will treat them as I am treated, but only family has my unconditional trust. It was a small group Kat. It made me think of the Cullen's a group of seven living with each other. Maybe someday Kat and I will add to our family. Thoughts like that chased around in my head as we talked about Aro's coven.

Zeus looked at our four coven leaders meeting. "I ran into Markus in the hall today it would seem Cassias is having a hard time adjusting to his new reality. He was feeling me out on maybe letting him have his leg back."

I pinch my nose, "please don't Kat was not kidding about killing them. I know you have your reservations about my idea but please wait to after the meetings before stirring up shit. If we come to an agreement someone has to inforce it and I don't wish to do it, do you?"

"Please I have my hands full now, do you have any idea how petty some of us can be. I think it's because we are bored. Persephone has caused more fights and deaths than I care to admit. She has the attention span of butterfly. She flits from one lover to another. I wish she would mate then I would have twice as much free time."

Zhou laughed and then with a sad smile, "you say that now my friend. I still miss Seitar he looks at me and smiles."

Her face comes before my eyes, dam our perfect memories. At least we parted on good terms I am not someone to have casual flings. Given time we might have made it more permeant she just needed some time we would have moved back together at some point. Thinking about it I wish I could have killed Anubis again.

Zhou put his hand on mine; "she would like you to remember her and your happy time together let the others things fall away. We call ourselves immortals but nothing is forever Mac. Someday we will leave this earth our stay is just longer than our human brothers."

Torrin just sat taking it all in I was sure others were looking on through his eyes.

"Alright let's get the show on the road." I looked at my peers, "we are agreed to try working with the Volturi?" I get four nods no one wishes this job. I have worn them down, and they agree that if, and I do mean if this sickness is coming we need to do something. Two little letters with big connotations. I was just about to suggest we force a meeting when there is a knock on the door. It was all for show our other travelers were in the other room listening, vamp ears, no secrets.

Zhou had gotten up, Toa was at the door. "Excuse my interruption we have a messenger from Aro he is right outside."

He looks at his vassal. "Show him in." he takes his seat this might prove illuminating.

A tall dark vampire walks in of course he is talented my gift tells me he is a tracker. I shake my head, Aro I think, will you ever not look for an advantage?

He bows "my name is Demetri my master asks if you could meet in three marks."

I look over at the candle burning in the corner. Than back at the messenger; "that would be fine."

We follow our guide to what can only be described as a thrown room. With three chairs up on a raised platform; our host is sitting with Cassias looking death glares at our group but keeping his mouth shut. I go into the reason for my visit; two listen with growing concern, one only sneering at us.

Aro looks at our group; "do you all think this is going to happen?"

Zeus looks at him; "I am willing to discuss it why would Mac bring this up unless he had some form of pre-knowledge. This will not affect his food source."

That started the long debate months turned into years, years turned into decades. Kat had trained with most of the new coven she had found a few she actually liked. Some had tried our diet once, but never twice. Some only doing it as a result of a bet on their fights in the practice ring. She spent time with the humans letting Aro's coven know not to eat the ones she befriended. She made it clear they drink her humans she ends them, after a few fights in the ring no one doubted her. Aro had a few rules of his own, no eating children or mothers. It was not because he cared it was preservation of his herd.

They all told her, her little human, the one taking care of the orphans was safe because of Aro's rule. We all knew that was not what was stopping them they slipped all the time. It was what she would do to them after the slip that gave them pause. She met her almost twenty years ago a young girl with a deformed leg walking with a server limp her leg dragging behind her. Kat saw other youths cruelly beating her down both mentally and physically. It was the one time Kat came close to killing humans. I met the girl a few times as she got older she worked with orphans her way to have children, no man would have anything to do with her. As she aged their roles changed, Lillian could grow change. Kat like all of us was unchanging. She went from peer and confident a friend, too someone Kat looked to for advice like a sudo-mother.

We were sitting in another meeting where nothing was being accomplished that was when Kat came bursting in.

"Dad I need you now!" She looks at me with venom in her eyes. "Please dad now!"

I blur over to her using my fastest speed. "What's wrong sweetie?"

She pulls on my hand, "you have to come." We leave at top speed the others following wondering what has upset her so. She drags me to a burning building with small children milling around her friend propped up on stone coughing burned over more than half of her body.

"Help her please!"

"Kat she is dying I have no gift that can save her."

Zhou put his hand on Kat's shoulder; "let me put her out of her misery tiger."

She pulls away, "NO!"

"Kat what do you want?"

"Change her dad, please, PLEASE!"

what is this a new coven member or will Mac refuse and let her go?
