"Not likely" Chris scowled and sunk back a little. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Jillian.
"We were hoping you could help us." I spoke warily, not wanting to ignite a war between the Germans and my brother. Chris was still scowling behind me, and I don't blame him, their past aside, Jillian looked terrifying.
"Why would you little snobs need help from us 'lower class' vampires?" Jillian spat in her half German, half American accent. She had a point; we never spoke to them unless they came to the castle for some event or other.
"We're looking for a nomad who supposedly hangs around here a lot" I pulled out the picture of Mavric and handed it to Jillian. I started biting my lip when she took one glance at the painting and threw it to the ground.
"Wait here" The next thing I knew the door was slammed in my face and Jillian was gone. I could hear whispered voices inside and I turned back to Chris, indicating for him to spread his anti-shield for me. Chris got the message and cloaked us in his bubble so my fog would affect both of us. I specified the fog on hearing and fanned it out around our ankles. The voices inside grew louder until I could hear them properly.
"You said no one alive knew you" I heard Jillian snarl.
"I didn't think there was, I thought everyone else had died." I didn't recognise the voice or the accent but it sounded like a mix of many accents.
"Well there are two at the door asking for you so you obviously screwed up in covering your tracks." I heard a thump which I assumed to be Jillian hitting whoever it was on the head. There was a little yelp and a snarl before the dialogue resumed.
"What do they look like?" The other man inquired, his voice lowering a touch.
"Dark brown hair, hazel eyes, olive skin, typical spoilt Italians from Aro's castle." Jillian obviously didn't think all that highly of our coven.
"Nothing stands out, I don't think they'll cause too much trouble" The man moved towards the door, but Jill must have stuck an arm out and he hit it hard.
"They're Volturi, what do you mean 'won't cause trouble'!" Jillian pulled the man back to where he was. "You know their history better than me.
"They've softened, I'll be fine." The footsteps came to the door and nothing stopped them. I tapped Chris to make him retract his shield and pulled my fog back too. The door opened just as the last of my fog was pulled back. I saw his face and my jaw dropped.
"Mavric?" Chris asked from behind me and I gawked again. Mavric's eyes widened as he took in our faces.
"Alec?" Mavric wore the same shocked expression my brother and I wore. I shook off the shock of the fact that we had just found the very man we had been looking for.
"No. No, no uh, we're his sons. He," I stopped for a moment and thought about how much we had to fill him in on and reconsidered. "You know it's a really long story." Jillian scowled and invited us in.
Isabella's POV
"Oh come on Izzy, is it really that bad being stuck out here with me?" Dimitri laughed. I looked up at him and resisted the urge to smile. Dimitri and I have been closer since Alec was taken, they were best friends and we were married so we found comfort in each other. In other words he is my stand in rock and I am his.
"No, it's not all bad, I just don't see why the nomads still need supervising, they were warned and they're abiding by the law. I just miss my boys" I slumped a little at the thought of my sons back home.
"We have to stay because if we don't then they won't get that we are always watching them and they'll go back to how they were as soon as we leave. If one more scientist dies out here then we have trouble." Dimitri spotted a huddle of penguins and ran over to them. Sometimes I may as well claim I have three children. I walked over to the penguins to let Dimitri have some fun while he could; we were here on business, not pleasure. By the time I got to Dimitri he had made a snowman, though its face was just markings he made with his finger. I laughed and jumped on it.
"Having fun?" I was sitting on the little mountain of snow left over from the snowman I crushed with a smile on my face.
"You and me both sister." Dimitri laughed and produced a snowball from behind his back and threw it at me. I don't know how he managed to collect so much snow considering it wasn't snow season here and it was pretty much just solid ice. I brushed off the snow and we got off the ground to get back on our path; going to see a nomad named Annalisa. She was the only nomad down here that was still rebelling against the orders of the Volturi.
"You'd think there would be no vampires down here considering there are barely any humans." I kicked at some snow on the ground and uncovered a fish frozen in the ice below.
"Vegetarians are everywhere these days." Dimitri tsked jokingly and I laughed a little. Dimitri gave me a light shoulder barge and laughed along with me. We dawdled along the trail for another fifteen minutes before we reached Annalisa's little lean-to, which she is not in. "Hunting?" I turned to Dimitri for his opinion. Dimitri zoned out for a second before he came back to reality and shrugged.
"I'll track her down, see if she's still on the continent" Dimitri ran off leaving the sound of laughter echoing along behind him. I took up a seat on the floor and waited for Dimitri to come back. Dimitri took about ten minutes to track her down before he came back.
"So where is she?" I noted his lack of company.
"Well I think she went to South America." Dimitri let out a breath and pressed his lips together. I groaned; now we have to chase her down.
Me: hope you liked it
Fang: see you on the weekend kiddies
Me: we have to go before we get busted on FF :\
Fang: then we'll be in shit
