Chapter 21:i

*2 weeks later.*

Marcus' POV:

I stood flipping threw an older book. The contents of our current situation. The legends of immortal children. Yet I seemed bored with its contents. Mostly disturbed with the very detailes drawings of burning immortal children while we watched. It was the children and creator that reminded me so much of my girls. I could almost see the children morph into Aliyah and Neavah. And the woman holding them reflected my wife Angela. The burning passion was definitely something she would show.

I slammed the book shut and placed it down. I walked a little forward and stopped. my hair was oddly pulled back. It seemed I had let the mess of hair drape into my face like a monster. I closed my eyee now and sighed. Three more days until we drew our forces. We had spent our time wisely, now we spent it dotting through the legends and law books.

"No!"

A femmine scream filled the room. I turned slowly glancing over my shoulder. In Demetri's and Felix's grip was a small woman. Her black hair was a mess and she looked like she had been in the wild for centuries. When her red orbs met mine I recognized the woman. Makenna, a nomad from France.

"Release her," I drawled with a flick of my wrist.

Aro nodded his agreement. Makenna was released. She hissed as her perfect skin healed itself from the near fractures. I turned fully now my attention on her. So was Aro's.

"Makenna, my nomad friend." He smiled to the woman. Though his real intentions shined in his crimson eyes.

"Aro," She nodded giving a cursty. "I came to help with the trouble."  

This got Caius' attention. His eyes snapped up and he shut his book. "What troubles? The Volturi never has troubles only inconviences."

Makenna bowed hed head out of respect to him. She then looked up sheepishly. "I am sorry Caius, of course the Volturi is never in trouble. But I bring warning for you. The talk of the immortal child created by the Cullens has spread. As so, we have found they are collecting witnesses."

Her report did not go under noted. "It seems Carlisle is certain in distroying us." Caius drawled with a growl.

Makenna shuddered in fear as she should. "It is good we have our own then. I do thank you Makenna for the warning." Aro took her hand and placed a kiss upon it. "You are a worthy woman. I do hope you and Charles stay long enough to be a witness for us?"

Makenna nodded and looked over us all. "You are allowing me to leave the city?" She asked but had no hope behind it. Aro nodded.

"We shall meet you in florence my dear, do stay there with the others." Aro dismissed the woman. She fled as quickly as she could.

"This gives us a new angle..." I murmured knowing perfectly well they heard me. Both nodded.

"It seemw we shall be leaving sooner than planned. Demetri prepare the pilots and plains. Felix prepare the guard and people. Make sure they are packed by dawn. We shall be arriving in Washington on december 26th as planned. not on the 28th, they must be dealt with tomorrow." Aro disappeared with that.

I knew the majority of the guard had left. Leaving me and Caius alone. I looked to my elder brother and nodded. He stood stiffly and came over to me gracefully.

"I know I do not do heart felt things. But, are you alright Marcus brother?" Caius spoke curtly.

"I am brother, I know we must. But to think of it, I do sort of worry for my girls. I know our duty as the kings we in force laws. To think though the Cullens are the second biggest coven. They stand so strong, I worry one of them might not come home if they attack back." I murmured.
