"Next order of business." Jane called as we sat around in a circle in a room full of soft cushy couches a few days later. "Naming the kitten."
"What are you guys up to?" A vampires hopped over the back of Marina and I's couch and plopped down next to us.
"Hey, Corin." Hedi greeted, smiling at her. "Not with the wives today."
"Nah, I got bored." She said, rolling her eyes. "Plus I heard you went shopping without me! I'm hurt!"
"I'll ask Aro if we can go again soon. They might grow out of their clothes." Hedi laughed, eyeing us.
"Doubt it." I muttered under my breath.
"What?" Jane asked curiously, her eyes flashing to mine. "What did you say?"
"Um. Nothing." I said, looking away from her scary red eyes.
"You said 'Doubt it.'" She confirmed, smiling widely. "You don't age, do you?"
"Um. Well..." I trailed off uncomfortably, making Jane's smile widen.
"Yes! One step closer to figuring out what you are!" She exclaimed.
"Its really frustrating you, huh?" Hedi observed, rolling her eyes.
"Its driving me insane." Jane moaned, rubbing her temples. "Are you guys witches?"
"I wish." Marina snorted, while I let out a long laugh. "No way."
"Genie?"
"Nope."
"Werewolf?"
"We'd be able to tell that." Corin pointed out, making Jane groan.
"Whatever. Back to the kitten. It needs a name." She sighed, holding up the light brown cat. It looked at us with wide baby blue eyes, making us all coo.
"How about Fluffy?" Marina suggested.
"Nah, sounds like an ironic dog name." I said, shaking my head.
"How about Bob." Corin said, making us all laugh. "Joking!"
"Angelo?" I asked, looking up at them.
"Maybe." Hedi said, pondering the name. "Italian for 'angel', not bad."
"I like it." Corin put in.
"Agreed." Marina said, nodding.
"Sounds nice." Jane said, smiling at the kitten in her arms. "Angelo."
"Angelo it is then." Hedi laughed, beaming. "But we still have to get the 'Dark Side' to agree to keep it."
"Man I love their name." I sighed, making them all laugh. Another vampire then ran in with a confused and worried look on her face.
"Guys, Aro needs to see us in the Throne Room." She informed us, her eyes darting around.
"Thanks Chelsea." Jane said, standing up.
"I have to get back to the wives." Corin sighed, frowning slightly.
"Here, take the kitten." Jane insisted, shoving the kitten into her arms. She nodded before disappearing down the hall. We walked down the hallway, chatting about how to take the guys down, then got silent when we reached the double doors. I smoothed my simple, red sun dress, and Marina picked at her silky black dress.
"Don't talk unless spoken to." Chelsea whispered to us as Jane opened the doors and we calmly filed in. Well. Marina and I were calm until we saw who was standing in the middle, talking to Aro. Roman.
"Shit." Marina hissed in my ear. We went and stood in between Demetri and Alec while Jane and Chelsea took their outsides. Roman's eyes flashed to us in a taunting sort of matter.
"I'm sorry Roman, but these girls are working for us now." Aro said in an airy way.
"But they are my property." He argued calmly, smirking at Alec and Demetri's soft growls.
"Peace, young ones." Aro said to them before turning back to Roman. "This matter cannot be negotiated."
"Then you have just made an enemy that you don't want." Roman said, shrugging. He started walking away, but Aro nodded at Felix and Demetri who grabbed him by both arms and made him kneel in front of Aro, Caius, and Marcus.
"The Volturi don't take to threats very kindly." Aro said, his eyes flashing dangerously.
"Don't test me." Roman growled, glaring at Aro. Roman looked over at us and winked. "I'll be back to take what is mine."
"Enough!" Caius roared in anger. "Kill him!"
"Daddy says hi, Syrena." Roman laughed, flicking a familiar pendant over to me. before disappearing into thin air. Flashes of memories passed before my eyes, as I caught it, and my knees buckled underneath me. Alec's cold arms caught me before I hit the ground, and I heard Marina yelling my name.
"How?" I moaned, clutching my the golden pendant. "How did he get it?"
"What is it, Siri?" Marina asked, trying to unclench my hand. I slowly opened it to reveal a golden circle with a sea horse carved in the center. The symbol of our clan. They symbol of royalty. My old necklace. The one I left at the castle. In my room.
"Oh." Marina said softly.
"What is it?" Alec demanded, picking me up bridal style.
"Our secrets." I whispered, looking up into his eyes. "Put me down."
"Can you walk?" He asked cautiously.
"Yes, I'm fine." I said as he set me on his feet. I shook my head to clear it and looked at Jane. "I believe we have a meeting to continue."
"Of course." She agreed, her face melting into smugness.
"Are you sure your feeling okay?" Alec asked, looking at me up and down.
"I'm fine." I assured him quietly. I then turned to Aro. "Thank you for handling him for us."
"I only hope to gain your trust." Aro said, bowing his head slightly. Marina and I nodded hesitantly before turning away to the doors. Once we were joined by Jane, and Hedi, we left the throne room.
"That's the Phantom?" Jane questioned. We nodded wordlessly and continued down the hall, unwilling to dredge up anymore memories. As we sat back down in the couches, I clipped my old pendent on.
"Back to our previous business." Hedi said, crossing her legs and sitting at Jane's feet. "How do we take down the guys? AKA the 'Dark Side'."
"I say we challenge them to a fight." Jane said, smirking. "I'll take Alec, Hedi takes Felix, and Siri and Mari take Demetri."
"Sounds good, but we'll need training." Marina pointed out.
"The three cores." I suddenly breathed, filling with inspiration. "Marina, when you went to school, did you learn about the Triple Cores?"
"Duh. It was one of the main courses." She retorted, rolling her eyes.
"Ah ha!" Jane yelled suddenly, making us jump. "School! You were in civilization! One step closer!"
"Good job." Marina muttered sarcastically. "Anyway, continue with your statement."
"We both have one of the Cores!" I exclaimed, clapping my hands. "Hydro-kinesis, Hyrdo-Cryokinesis, or Hyrdro-Thermokinesis!"
"Yeah, but those don't develop until we are older." Marina laughed, shaking her head. "We have a few more years."
"You guys can control water?" Hedi asked curiously.
"It depends what 'kinesis' you develop." Marina informed her. I wondered how they hadn't figured out what we were yet.
"We just have to use what we have now, I guess." I sighed, shaking my head.
"Way to get our hopes up." Jane sighed with me.
"Sad face." Hedi agreed, frowning slightly. "But we need to have faith. For Angelo."
"For Angelo." We all chorused together. Maybe living here won't be as bad as I thought it would be. Then I touched my pendent. But that doesn't mean I still miss what I used to have.
