Chapter 17: Calling for Help. Part One: Egypt
(Demetri's POV)
I swam with the lower guard member, Chloe, to Athens Greece. It was nice to be back to where I was born, but I do have a mission so I can't enjoy my time back home.
"Chloe," I said as we walked towards her coven's home, "I'm not trying to be rude, but are you sure these people are trustworthy?"
She nodded clearly happy to be home, "Yes sir. Damien and Anthea are like parents to me. They also greatly support the Volturi and their beliefs."
I thought for a moment, "if you're so close to them then why did you join us?"
Chloe sighed, "I was becoming very bored living here and not finding a mate over the years wasn't helping." She paused. "Last year Damien told me to join the Volturi for a while because they would teach me all sorts of things about the vampire world."
"And was it worth it?" I asked curious.
Chloe looked slightly embarrassed, "yes. I've made so many friends and even have a crush."
"Oh," I raised my eyebrows at her, "do tell."
"It's nothing r-really," she stuttered quickly waving her hand, "oh look it's my home." She quickly ran off to a large house by the ocean. I watched her confused. Why was it so hard to tell who she had a crush on?
"Chloe!" A short blonde vampire looking around twenty years old came running towards us.
"Hello Anthea!" Chloe said happily hugging her creator, "It's nice to see you again."
"Like wise honey," Anthea looked towards me, "and this is?"
"Demetri," I said smiling.
"Oh," She looked towards Chloe with raised eyebrows. I noticed Chloe shook her head. I must be missing something...
"It was so nice to meet you but I need to head to Egypt now," I nodded towards Anthea, "Chloe have fun but remember why your here. I'll see you in a couple days."
Without a second glance I disappeared in the direction of Egypt and jumped into the Ocean.
It took me a day and a half to swim to Egypt. Thankfully when I reached Alexandria it was night time. It took me another hour to reach Amun's house right outside Cairo.
"Hello Demetri," Kebi, Amun's mate, said giving me a hug. Throughout my time here I was very close to her and thought of her as a sister.
"It's been too long Kebi," I said giving her a kiss on the cheek, "Amun." I said nodding towards my maker. He smiled and shook my hand welcoming me. When I first joined the Volturi he was furious with me and wouldn't even allow me to enter Egypt without permission. After a few hundred years though we made up. We're not as close as we used to be, but we are still friends.
