Story is on Ao3 under Fire is Everywhere

Caius POV

I leaned back while I stared at my mobile phone. Aro sent me the contact data from this little brat called Isabella Marie Swan. My arrival was as I thought. It rained and no one had a smile on his or her face. Angrily I stared down on the phone before I winked at Jane to come to me. She followed my order and bowed in front of me.

"Jane, go get this human," I growled and gave her my phone so she saw the address of her. She nodded and bowed again in front of me. I sighed before I said "Take Demetri with you."

Aro would have killed me if he knew that Jane got hurt while she was away from me but under my order. Even though it was sometimes very boring here I liked my existence to much to let me get killed. Besides the vampires all over the world would lose the respect for my brethren.

Demetri and Jane left the suite we had rented for our stay in Forks. Well, we were in Seattle but the way was not that long that we needed to sorrow about the distance.

I switched on the TV and waited for Jane's and Demetri's arrival here. Like always I couldn't understand why humans watched this with their free will. There was a movie about aliens which intruded the earth and were killing everyone they saw. Of course the great and flawless humans fought against them. I snorted at that and earned a questioning look from Felix.

He seemed to enjoy the movie. Well he wasn't clever enough to question what he saw. That wasn't the reason why we took him in our guard. Sometimes he was very entertaining. And he was a great fighter. We saw him in World War II. He fought on the side of the Allies while we watched how the war went on. Felix was a low-ranked human soldier but to his companions he was a hero. He survived every battle even though he was stationed on the worst front. But one day his luck was over. He caught a bullet in his chest, not through his heart but too complicated to be removed. Aro and I discussed long about it but after one day we had the same opinion: He deserved a second chance so we changed him. Now he was the best fighter our guard had together with Demetri. Our tracker had a lot of experience in fighting.

Suddenly the door opened and three vampires marched in. I raised an eyebrow. This was definitely not Isabelle Marie Swan. It may be that she changed her gender and was changed after that but I doubted that.

"Jane?" I asked reproachful. The little vampire shivered under my look.

"Well, uhm, we found him in her room. But … she wasn't there. I don't know where she is," she gave me an explanation.

All my hopes died suddenly. Why did I just hope that this was a short travel in the USA, grab that brat and travel back to Volterra?

"Where is she?" I asked the vampire in front of me. He had short blonde hair, crimson eyes and a smirk on his face. Physically he was seventeen, maybe eighteen but not much older than this. He didn't seem to know who I was. But this was all the response I got.

I raised and a loud growl cut the silence in the room. "Where is that girl?"

Jane looked at me with curiosity.

"Do you know who I am?" I asked with a fake smile. I could be a competitor to Aro with this smile. Jane seemed to think the same because she grimaced behind the back of this vampire.

"Should I?" was the first thing I heard from him. My still raised eyebrow raised a bit higher.

"Who is your master?" I asked. He shivered in fear but didn't say a thing.

I lost my patience. "Jane, if you don't mind." I gestured towards the vampire.

He fell to the ground screaming in agony. If there wouldn't be this little problem I would just lean back and enjoy the screams. So I lifted him in the air as Jane stopped to torture him.

"Where is the girl and who are you? Who is your master?"

He whimpered and it was heard all around the room. Felix and Demetri giggled like two schoolgirls but even I cracked a smile. It was funny to hear a strong vampire whine.

"Victoria," he spat out. Again I raised an eyebrow. As he saw that he fast added "She is my mistress. My name is Riley."

"And where is the girl?" I asked without hiding my anger.

"There..." he gasped for air. I hadn't realized that my grip had tightened but I saw first cracks in his skin. I lessened my grip without letting him to much space for any possibility of making trouble.

"There is a cave near by Port Angeles. My mistress has something to deal with that girl."

"Where exactly is this cave?" I asked with deadly calm voice. Maybe the travel wasn't that bad. I would enjoy killing that Victoria and Riley with her.

"There is a lake near. On this are a lot of tourist ships. If you are near enough you can smell them. This girl smells so good." He grinned at me as if he told me a secret for which I would let him live. I snorted and pushed him to the ground.

"I think we have to travel there. My brother is going to kill me if I come home without her," I said to no one in particular.

Felix, Demetri and Jane stood up and straightened their backs. Riley stared at us with fear in his eyes.

"Who are you?" he asked while crouching back.

"Your mistress seems to have missed the chance of telling you from us. We are the Volturi. Call us the judges of the vampire world. Well, we are just more like the executive authority, the judiciary and the legislative authority. Call me one of three kings of you and all the others vampires in the world." I widely grinned at his face. I enjoyed how the fear deepened with every sentence of mine. When I came to an end he would have fainted if he still was human. So he just sat there silently without moving one muscle.

"And you are coming with us now," I told him. Jane sighed and grimaced at the vampire. One person more who would enjoy killing him. I grinned. Riley stood up as if there were strings attached to his arms and legs which pulled him up now.

We left the hotel through the main exit and made our way to Port Angeles.
