"Come on Aro, please, it won't be for long" Chris and I were all but on our knees begging Aro to let us take one of the Volturi cars out for a few months. He was fine with it before we said the word 'months'
"No, I promised your mother I would hold myself responsible for both of you, I can't do that when you're travelling on your own" Chris and I pulled a pout, we needed to get out into western Europe soon if we had any chance of finding whoever it is that Father wants us to find.
"We need to go Aro, please we won't get hurt, we'll take the phones and we promise to call every single day" I listed off on my fingers. Aro sat deeper into his throne and thought for a moment.
"Why do you want to go?" Aro's eyes flicked back to us, the question lingering and holding more meaning than it should. Aro suspected it had something to do with our letters since we had been acting strange since then; snooping around and such. I turned to Chris slightly and he had the same look I did, we had to tell Aro some portion of the truth.
"It's something Father asked us to do, someone he told us to find" Chris chose his words carefully, not giving away more than he had to, but still giving away quite a lot. Aro leaned forward in his throne and pressed a button under the armrest.
"I've sealed off all the entrances and soundproofed the room, there's no one else in here. Don't ask me how it works I got some human labourer to do it for me" Aro waved his hand to move off the point. I am assuming that labourer isn't around to give us the manual though. "You can trust me boys, I've known your father for a long time and your mother for, well, less but still a long time. Tell me what's going on" Aro softened his face and opened up more to get his point across properly.
"In father's letter he told us to find a map in his favourite book in his secret room" I sat on Caius' throne and Chris took a place on Marcus'.
"I know the one; I was the one who had it built." Aro smiled and put his hands in his lap, listening.
"We found it, in a copy of Dracula none the less, and a note as well" Chris put in. Aro laughed a little at the thought of father hiding something so important in such a joke of a book.
"What was on the map and in the note?" Aro had a ghost of a smile on his lips still but his features were being overwhelmed by curiosity and a little bit of worry.
"The map had a few points all over Italy and Western Europe and father said we had to find a man from when he was human that he turned so that we could get father back, for us, for you and for mother" I finished, not really looking at either Chris or Aro, just thinking about the task my brother and I have ahead of us.
"Don't tell me he's a Western Europe nomad, you'll never find him" Aro groaned.
"Well you were with father his whole vamperic life; don't you know the guy's name?" I assumed Aro was with him the whole time anyway, we never actually got told anything about father's early days.
"I wasn't with Alec the whole time. There was about half a year after he turned that Alec ran away. This was pre-Dimitri days so we had no means of tracking him properly, we scoured the whole of Europe and didn't find him until he turned up on the castle doorstep" Aro was reminiscing from the looks of him. "Your father knows the way of the western Europeans, that's how he hid from us and that's how he knows exactly how to find them; hence the points on the map. If you try I'm sure you'll work it out." Aro stood from his throne and presses the button in the process, un-sound proofing the room. "So next time you two have an argument over socks, go to Felix" Aro winked, telling us he was providing a cover for any prying ears. Chris and I smiled before pulling on a shameful face to walk out with, just in case.
"I'll be in your father's special room later if you want to meet me there, give it about three hours" Aro whispered ever so low in my ear. I have a tiny nod in response. Chris and I marched back to our rooms via the stairs. Chris found an old ball under my bed and I grabbed some shoes to hit it with. I don't know how we entertained ourselves with shoe tennis for three hours but we broke quite a few things in the rooms, namely three lamps, a bed post, two mirrors, a wardrobe door and a really expensive leather jacket that Chelsea will not be happy about. Chris and I act like such children when we want to, it's quite fun really. After three hours we found ourselves in the room behind the wall of guards where Aro was waiting for us in the armchair.
"So what are we doing here Aro?" Chris asked, sitting on the couch across from him.
"Well, I may have handed over the plans to the builders for this room but I didn't get to look at them so." Aro smirked ever so slightly "We're looking for your father's diary vault"
Me: I have locked Fang in multiple layers of chains, stuffed him in a sack and put him in the closet. i also tied the doors shut.
Fang: Let me out! Its just a little bit!
Me: You aren't good with alcohol, you know that
Fang: but its like sugar
Me: exactly
Fang: But vamp im claustrophobic
Me: you are also not harming anyone, shall we keep it that way
Fang: *grumbles*
Me: have a good new year and ill see you again in 2013! I will give it a shot to keep it up with at least an update a week but i have no idea when the week starts and ends in the holidays so... lets just try this. That and i just ordered more Doctor Who DVD's that i want to watch so ill be dead to the world for a few days. I am getting annoying now so im going to go make sure Fang is alive back there, bye!
R&R :)
