"It's been longer than 15 minutes and she's not responded," Caius paced the library, "Something's happened. We were foolish to let her go alone". Marcus and Aro chose wisely not to respond. Their brother had been highly strung ever since their mate had travelled to Forks and every hour she was away from the safety of the coven, Caius had grown more and more restless. His already short temper was fast-wearing thin. Marcus and Aro watched as Caius dialed their mate's number once again.
No answer.
Caius roared in frustration and threw the phone against the wall. The mobile exploded into several pieces when it made contact with the wall.
"FELIX!" Caius bellowed. Felix suddenly appeared in the room and quickly placed another mobile on the table before he scattered from sight. Marcus, foreseeing that Caius' short temper could be an issue, had alerted their trusted guard Felix to have a stack of mobiles on standby. While Felix was honored by this level of trust, a small part of him also feared this responsibility. Caius was temperamental at the best of times and with the absence of his mate, no one was safe from his anger. Something Felix was very determined not to be on the receiving end of. Whenever his name was called, he would enter and leave as fast as possible to avoid any of Caius' anger falling onto him.
Caius dialed her number again.
No answer.
"Fuck!" Caius swore and crushed the phone in his hand, "What the fuck is she doing?". The shattered phone pieces fell to the ground.
"FELIX!" Caius bellowed once more.
'For the love of blood! Please bloody answer Charlotte,' Felix thought to himself as he quickly entered, placed a new phone down, and bolted from the library. This process continued several more times with Caius calling or texting their mate but still no reply. Marcus' mobile suddenly pinged. Caius' attention whipped towards his brother. Marcus calmly pulled his mobile out and read the text message.
"Lottie apologises for the lack of communication but the mission was a success. She's on her way home," Marcus said.
"How wonderful!" Aro beamed, "See Caius? There was no need to worry at all. You must have more faith brother".
Caius scoffed at Marcus and quickly texted Lottie about the talk they were going to have when she returned, "Of course, she would text you. She knew you would let her off easily".
"Or she knew that whatever she said to you would be met by fury," Marcus replied swiftly.
Caius sneered at Marcus but didn't deny his accusation.

I smiled softly at Aro and swirled my glass of blood, "What was your favorite decade?".
Aro hummed as he thought of the answer to my question, "Not so much a decade but the Renaissance period was a favourite of mine. The years 1500 to 1530 particularly as it was during this time where the works of Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael were crafted. I have never seen such a period of creation and growth for humanity and I have yet to see it again".
"Did you ever meet them?" I asked in curiosity.
"I believe it's my turn," Aro teased, "What did you want to do after you graduated high school?".
I took a sip of the blood in the wine glass, "I wanted to be a pastry chef. I had dreams of working in the world's best dessert restaurants before returning to America and opening my own bakery. Before I became a vampire, I found out that I had been accepted into America's most elite culinary school".
