Seeds of a Rose (The Rose and The Thorn Sequel)

Chapter 7 - Justice

Just to quickly say that I mean no offence to anyone, in Twilight it was said that it was the South American and African vampires who are known for creating armies.

Also there is a slightly violent part part way through which I have marked with an * at the beginning and end.

Aro's POV

Caius and I were sat in first class on the plane to Brazil discussing how we were going to deal with the newborn vampire army when I confronted him about his rigid appearance. He had spent the journey with his hands in fists, knuckles practically bursting through the skin, burning holes with his eyes into the carpeted floor and it was beginning to frustrate me.

"Brother tell me what is frustrating you?"

"What if something happens to Sophia whilst I'm not there? I should be protecting her and instead I've left her with those traitors while I go to Brazil."

"Carlisle is an old friend of ours, no matter what happened last winter, and we will be home within a few days, hence why we flew instead of running there. I'm sure Sophia will be fine and she really is in the best hands."

Caius didn't look too convinced with me so I left him to stress over nothing and looked forward to relishing in our power.

The members of the guard who had accompanied us to Rio were finishing the army off whilst Caius and I watched the impressive show. There was truly nothing better than seeing unworthy vampires being destroyed and the message of how powerful we were being confirmed, even Caius was smiling.

The creators of the army were brought to their knees in front of us, a sibling pair determined to take over the nearby clans. I shook my head at the immaturity shown by the South American and African vampires who craved to be as powerful as us.

[C] "Do you realise what you have done? You have bought shame on vampires, almost revealed us to the mortals, but most importantly you have disobeyed the basic laws laid down on all vampires and you shall pay the price."

Caius took a step forward and gripped the young girl's arms, yanking at them before placing his hands either side of her head and twisting it off. He then turned to her brother and dragged him to his feet by his hair, jumping in the air and kicking him in the stomach, leaving his torso separate from his pelvis and legs. He then placed his hands in the vampire's mouth and tore his skull into two pieces.

Leaving the guard to set the pieces on fire he turned to walk off.

[C] "Brother that felt so good, we haven't punished anyone in so long."

[A] "Except that you didn't just punish them, you tortured them. Caius are you okay, I know your hatred and determination for justice but I haven't seen you that violent in many centuries."

[C] "I'm fine, but we really should clean up this mess and return home, my wife will be missing me."

[A] "I never thought I'd see the day when we would both have partners again, free to rule without any messy emotions getting involved."

The guard finished burning the remaining pieces and we began to return to the airport when Felix showed up with an important message.
