Aro POV
My brothers and I had been discussing those pesky Cullens when Alistair had strolled in.
"Aro, I have a complaint about the Cullens," he said.
"Step here," I asked, my hand already out. He touched my palm. I saw his memories of visiting the Cullens, and saw the strange human they called Stephenie.
I smiled as I finished seeing their conversation. Perfect. Last year, we had not been prepared for the Cullens. But now we were. We would go there and finish them, once and for all.
"Aro, what has happened?" asked my brother Caius.
"The Cullens have some mischief going on. They have told a human about our kind."
Alistair cut in. "But, Aro, the human arrived with knowledge of our kind."
"Regardless," I said. "She is indeed a strange human. Since the Cullens have decided to take responsibility for her, it is clear that they should be the ones to pay."
