"She's marvelous isn't she?" Aro commented as he watched his mate destroy one of Volturi's many training rooms. It had been several centuries since a newborn resided in the coven and the shredded equipment all but confirmed that. While some of the equipment had been reinforced to try and handle some of a vampire's power, it was useless against a newborn's power.
Marcus hummed in agreement, "Brave of Caius to play with her". The blonde leader was currently engaged in a game of cat and mouse with a very pissed-off newborn. Aro and Marcus watched on silently as Caius only managed to dodge another of Charlotte's fists.
"Sloppy form," Caius taunted. Charlotte screamed in rage and lunged at him again.
Aro smiled in amusement, "I fear we may lose a brother".
"What will you do about Sulpicia and Athenodora?" Marcus asked, making sure to keep his voice quiet enough that their mate could not hear.
"They both knew the agreement. If our mate should ever come, they either join the guards or be dealt with," Aro replied in a monotone voice.
Marcus turned his attention away from the brawling vampires and looked at Aro, "You don't fool me, brother, I can see the connection you have with Sulpicia. Such a bond is not easy to destroy".
"I value the pull I feel towards our little swan more. I would do anything to make her happy. I can't imagine Sulpicia's constant presence would make her very happy," Aro reasoned, his gaze never leaving Caius or Charlotte.
Marcus didn't reply for several moments, "Ask I kardiá mou (my heart). Her response may surprise you".
"Greek brother?" Aro looked at Marcus with a teasing expression, "My it's been a while since I've last heard you speak that. What made you settle on i kardiá mou (my heart)?".
"After Didyme, the knowledge that she would eventually come kept me going," Marcus smiled slightly.
"Is that a smile brother? Should I be worried about the end of times?" Aro furthered teased.
Marcus ignored his brother's jab, "It would be best we address the issue of wives sooner rather than later".
I wanted to scream in frustration. Caius had once again avoided another one of my attacks.
"Little swan! Brother! Why don't we have a rest? There is still much to discuss," Aro called out as Caius evaded another one of my kicks. I snarled in anger at the smug look on Caius' face and crouched down ready to attack once more.
"Wonderful suggestion brother," Caius replied, his gaze never leaving. Almost as if he could sense that I would attack him if he turned his back on me.
Marcus watched us in amusement, "I imagine this is quite overwhelming for you I kardiá mou (my heart). Let us return to the library to discuss in private".
"We should vasílissa mou (my queen). Best leave some of the training room undamaged," Caius teased. It was only then that I surveyed the room and if I could, I would have blushed in embarrassment. Holes, craters, and broken pieces of equipment lay scattered across the ground.
I was mortified, "Sorry!".
"Don't worry little swan, all can be fixed. As a newborn, your emotions can be quite...intense...and difficult to manage. Rest assured though, over time you will gain control over your impulses," Aro assured me before he and Marcus left.
"Shall we?" Caius held his hand out to me. I eyed him wearily because the last time he offered his hand, I was promptly thrown into the nearby wall.
'You must be ready for anything!' Caius had tried to justify to me.
