@RoyalEmpathy — vigor I hadn’t previously had. We would find @OGVolturiBrat , I would bring him to heel on whatever side errand he’d enjoyed, and I would send him to South America to destroy this errant newborn and whoever his creators were. And I so hoped it was the Amazonian coven.]

[Aro @MindIfIReadYou]

[I barely concealed my irritation as I headed for the first chamber I came across. If someone else knew about this, and hadn’t shared their knowledge with me, I was going to fly into a fury. I knocked gently on @RoyalEmpathy door, clasping my hands behind my back. Maybe he had —

[Aro @MindIfIReadYou]

@RoyalEmpathy — old friend Carlisle and his merry band of misfits. Not that I wanted his destruction specifically, just the end of the idea that anyone could challenge us and survive. If it took a millennia, I would see their end. I hastily went to my own chambers and greeted my wife with a —

@RoyalEmpathy — If the Amazon’s won’t admit to what they’re doing, and won’t agree to come here for me to see that for myself, it might mean their end. [I did my best to paint my features full of sorrow and regret, but there was no point in it. The first of the allied Covens to fall.]

[Aro @MindIfIReadYou]

@RoyalEmpathy [I thought over the point he made. I was clearly more off my game than I thought, if it took Marcus to point out that if the Amazon’s HAD created the newborn, and perhaps the beginnings of an army, we certainly would be within our rights to destroy them.] That’s settled then. —

[Aro @MindIfIReadYou]

@RoyalEmpathy — sooner rather than later. I’ll give him the night and in the morning, if he still hasn’t arrived, I’ll involve Demetri. Do you think, perhaps, this could be a way to wipe out the Amazon coven? That’s a talented lot.

[Aro @MindIfIReadYou]

@RoyalEmpathy That is precisely why I was sending Alec. I’m more concerned with who might find the newborn before we do. If the creators of this new vampire /are/ on the side of the opposition. On the other hand... may give us reason to strike if they are? All the more reason to find Alec —

[Aro @MindIfIReadYou]

@RoyalEmpathy — on a small contingent of the guard to find him. If it were one of the others, I wouldn’t think twice. Alec and Jane, they’ve never strayed further than their command.

[Aro @MindIfIReadYou]

@RoyalEmpathy — as I’d desired, of course.] I’m slightly concerned this might be some maneuver by the Cullens or one of their witnesses. There /is/ the matter in South America, after all. I didn’t think much of it to begin with, but now, if Alec doesn’t come back /soon/, we may have to call —

[Aro @MindIfIReadYou]

@RoyalEmpathy — hasn’t left for his mission. No one seems to know where he is. Without alerting the guard I won’t ask for Demetri. Any ideas, brother? [I hated to think I was sitting in the answer all along, but I didn’t want to bring in another member if I didn’t need to.]

[Aro @MindIfIReadYou]

@RoyalEmpathy [I slipped past the threshold and into the room, waiting for the door to close. Not that it mattered much, but I held onto the fact that our guard didn’t tend to linger outside our doors.] This wasn’t something I wished to share with anyone, quite yet. It seems as though Alec —

attempt at carrying out my orders. There would not be a third.]

[Aro @MindIfIReadYou]

I don’t enjoy being left in the dark. Perhaps I’ve spoiled myself, this talent I have for knowing things? Perhaps I rely on it too much, and now I’ve grown desensitized to the sensation of wonder. Do you think so? --

[Aro @MindIfIReadYou]

-- I don’t like to be kept waiting, either. [I called after him, knowing full well he could hear my voice as well as I could hear his quickly retreating gait, his red cloak flapping around him, and the curious murmurs of those he passed on his second --
