Flashback about 1020 AD Thebes, Greece:

Andy ran faster than the men pursuing her. She knew what she was doing was wrong but she wanted fun and adventure in her life. Her hood was secure so they wouldn't recognise her as she scaled the stone walls.

They couldn't catch her, they could never catch her.

She always gave away what food she stole from the people she was supposed to associate herself with because of her standing in society. She didn't see the point of keeping it if she could get anything she wanted.

"Lady Andromeda, you'll get caught," a hushed voice whispered to her from around a stone wall.

"Don't worry about it Thaddeus. What will they do, lock me up?" She shrugged the bag of food off her shoulder and placed it in his hands. He was a scrawny boy about fifteen years old with big brown doe eyes that matched his hair. Grime was smeared on his cheeks that blushed red as the woman spoke to him.

"The Lady Andromeda of Thebes, they wouldn't dare." Another male voice mocked and bright blue eyes spun to face Thaddeus's older brother Basilius. He held the same features but was more filled out and projected an air of confidence. "No need to worry about her little brother, be worried about getting caught with that." He pointed to the bag she had placed in his hands. "Go share it with the others."

Thaddeus grinned widely and slipped into another hidden alleyway away from the older thieves.

"Have you heard?" Andy asked Basil as she watched the younger boy slip away.

"I heard, your cousin told me."

"Great," she groaned sarcastically. "We travel to Athens tomorrow, I'm to be wed two days after."

"It can't be that bad." He said assessing her features. "Oh no I know that look. Andy no, you can't."

"I wasn't planning anything." She said but her face gave away her true intentions.

"Andy even if you run away where will you go? You've got the most recognisable face in the country."

"That's an over exaggeration, but I see your point. I was thinking of hopping on a ship."

"Then what?"

"I'm a thief, I think I'll manage." She gave him a tight smile.

Athens, Greece:

"Where are you going now cousin?" Sabina spoke up eyeing Andromeda as she slid into a cloak that obscured her features.

"Out." Andy replied with a smirk.

"You're getting married in two days." Her cousin scolded.

"Then all the more reason to go out now." Andy replied with a shrug.

"Andromeda I know you don't want to go through with this wedding but it's for the best."

"One night." She told the brunette pleadingly. "I'm asking for just one night where I don't have to think about the monster I'm marrying. Just one more night of freedom."

"Fine."

Andy grinned and danced her way happily dancing across the rooftops looking for her next target.

She spotted an old wealthy man riddled with jewels and her eyes glowed happily in excitement. Skilfully she raised her hood and followed her target through the dim lit streets. Her hands itched as she approached and fell into step right behind the man.

Her gaze darted to the side slightly widening in surprise as she spotted another hooded figure doing the exact same thing as her. Claiming the man as her prey, her steps never faltered and the other thief hung back slinking into the shadows as her fingertips slid over the folds of his tunic with the upmost precision and skill.

Once she had finished collecting her loot she turned down another path and climbed onto the nearest roof with a grin of success. She dug into her pockets and counted the coin and jewels she'd collected.

"You shouldn't count while on the job." The cloaked figure from before reappeared.

"I normally don't." She replied eyeing the newcomer curiously.

"You're not from around here are you?" She could hear the humour in his voice as he spoke.

"Just passing through love." She replied bagging her goods. She chucks the bag in his direction which he caught with ease. "Sorry I stole your mark."

"You don't want this?" He asked a little confused.

"I have no need for it."

"Then why do you-"

"Because it's fun," she cuts him off looking at the horizon. "They call me Blink."

"I've heard of you, very fast, could outrun anyone. You're from Thebes, or so they say. What are you doing here?"

"Like I said, just passing through."

"I'm the Hunter," he comments, "if you need to find anything, look me up." She could just make out the smile under his hood as he disappeared into the shadows.

Andy had informed her newborns of the threat the Cult posed and gave them the option to leave silently preying they would and therefore stay out of danger. Unfortunately they clung to her side like young children to their mother.

"Fred," she spotted the blonde hidden in the corner of the room his head buried in a large book.

"Yep," he spoke up. He was quiet but had been slowly opening up to the other vampires he lived with. He liked them, they didn't judge him, and they just accepted everything about him.

"Have you seen Bree and Diego?"

"Bree went hunting, Diego tagged along." Fred replied.

"Are you not thirsty?" She questioned him and he pointed to the fridge where he had stocked blood bags. He hated animal blood and didn't want to be around other people to feed on them. "Ah, I don't know how you can drink those things so easily."

"I do heat-" he stopped mid-sentence as he watched the older vampire stiffen her pupil's dilating furiously. Her eyes darted to the window sensing something moving through the forest in the direction of their house. She brought her finger to her lips indicating to him to be silent and he nodded his head moving into the corner waiting.

The vampire shattered the door on entry. He was large, about as large as Emmett with pitch black eyes and matching raven hair. He wore a tailored suit and expensive jewellery but the thing that vexed her the most was the black rose crest hanging around his neck.

Andy teleported quickly out of his sight as he looked around the room. His eyes fell on Fred as he glared deeply. "Where is she," he snarled his nose twitching like a hound. "Her scent is fresh, where is she?!"

"I don't know what you're talking about." He lied lowering the power of his gift to keep the vampire's attention on him.

"Don't play with me newborn." The stranger sneered causing Fred to release a small chuckle.

"Oh, I won't be the one playing with you." He gave his own smirk. "Not me."

"I have a thing for games." Andy's voice sang and echoed around the room. "But I don't think you want to play with me."

The intruder suddenly felt sick and disgusted at the sight of the newborn not noticing the lithe female stalking him like prey. She grinned widely as she pounced her nails digging into his marble skin as Fred lunged forward and removed the head.

"Pity." Andy said holding the head up to get a better look at his face. "He's quite handsome." She tossed the head to the side as Fred pulled his lighter. "No." She stopped him and pulled the body to the middle of the room as a sadistic smirk crossed her lips, "grab the chains out of the shed."

"What happened here?" Diego asked stepping on the shattered glass as he entered before Bree looking around cautiously for any sources of danger.

"We have an uninvited guest children." Andy informed looking to each.

"Is he alone?" Diego asked moving closer.

"He is." Fred replied for Andy who was fiddling with the heavy duty chains happily.

"Today's lesson," Andy informed, "is the art of torture." She placed he head back on the body and watched as it slowly stitched back together.

Bree frowned slightly but took a seat on the sofa to watch anyway. "Is he one of those Cult guys?"

"Indeed." Andy lifted the crest for Bree to see the rose.

"We should have a crest." Bree said with a grin to the males, "we could be a coven."

All eyes turned to the older vampire who gazed at their hopeful looks. She sighed and raised her hands to the chain around her neck lifting it out from behind her shirt. It remained there against her skin for centuries as a reminder of her family. She'd never been the nesting type but she had an overwhelming desire to protect the little trio of vampires.

She held it out to Bree who chucked the rose to the side with little care.

"What is it?" she indicated to the strange symbol on the end of the silver chain.

"It's called the Wheel of Hecate." She informed. "We used it a thousand years ago."

"Would you mind if we-" she indicated to the others and Andy shook her head slightly.

"It was a thousand years ago, I think I would be glad to see it on those I trust once again." Andy placed the necklace in Bree's hands. She took it gently and headed for her sketchpad she'd left on the table to get started.

A gasp broke Andy from her thoughts her pleasant expression falling to a Cheshire grin, with maniacal sparks in her eyes. "Let's get started then."

"Some paperwork from one of your businesses got delivered." Felix said approaching his friend.

"Just put it in my room." Demetri told Felix waving his hand focusing on the voice on the other end of the call.

"You'll like his room Andy, best room in the castle, lots of action goes on in there." Felix spoke up so the vampire on the other end of the phone could hear only to get a swift kick to the gut from the tracker.

"Demetri darling," Andy sang into the phone, "you're getting a new room."

"You'll have to get a new, well everything." Demetri replied raising a brow.

"Touché," he could hear her smirk. "Felix make sure he gets a new room."

"Will do." The giant smirked in amusement.

"That's not fair, I can't just come and check-up on you." He heard her sigh and could swear she was rolling her eyes.

"Hi, my name is Bree, the one you tried to kill. Yeah, Andy wanted me to tell you she brought a new house and wardrobe."

"See, I'm behaving." His mate's voice could now be heard.

"Oh love you never behave, case in point, I'm talking to you over the phone while you do Gods knows what."

"I'm interrogating a suspect." He heard a scream and huffed. "He's fine, and he's not missing limbs or anything... Yet. No, no Diego you're doing it wrong you're supposed to bend it the other way."

"Who's Diego?"

"My mate." Bree spoke up.

"Am I sensing jealousy darling?" Demetri huffed as he continued his path to his post. "Anyway do you think I can borrow Jane or will I have to come up with new and interesting ways to maim?"

"Sorry but I think it's the second."

"Fine," She groaned as Demetri spotted Athenodora waiting for him her hand outstretched for the device in his hand.

"I've got to go but first someone wants to speak to you."

"That's fine, oh and Demetri?"

"Yes love."

"If Felix tells me Heidi makes moves towards you again, I'll tear her pretty little head off and dance on her ashes. Understood?" She threatened but he could hear the smile in her voice.

"Am I sensing jealousy darling?"

"Yes. Understood?" She said simply and repeated herself.

"Understood love," he smirked while chuckling and handed the phone to Athenodora stepping back and covering his ears knowing what's to come.

"ANDROMEDA OF CRETE HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME FOR EIGHT CENTURIES I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!!!" She shouted into the mouthpiece.

"Dora, please I can explain."

"Oh, I'd like to see you try." The silver haired vampire growled.

"I..." Andy sighed, "Yeah I got nothing."

"I know. I've been squeezing Demetri for information."

"Oh Gods what's he been telling you."

"Better yet, you should be asking what I've been telling him."

"Dora!"

"Nope, you owe me for letting me think you were dead. Which reminds me, once you've gotten over your rebellious phase, come and visit."

"It's not a rebellious phase." She protested. "I'm always this amazing." Demetri grinned at that and Dora burst into fond laughter.

*****

"Who are you talking to?" Caius asked as he entered the tower that housed the wives, his own wife holding a phone that clearly wasn't hers speaking to someone on the other end in between laughter.

She jumped in surprise spinning to face her husband with an innocent smile. "A friend." Athenodora replied handing the phone to the tracker who was standing guard in the shadows by the wall.

"You don't have any friend's outside of the Volturi my love." He pointed out tensely.

"This one's different."

"I'm not hearing you elaborate."

"I was just having a catch up chat with the tracker's mate."

"You mean the fugitive our coven is looking for." Caius frowned. "Demetri you're dismissed." The tracker bowed his head to his master and slipped from the room. Dora watched him leave with her hands on her hips she turned back to her husband.

"Now what did you do that for?"

"I don't like you keeping secrets dear." His usual sneer present on his face as he spoke.

"She was in my coven."

"Right. That explains her hatred of Mathias. What I don't understand is your sudden interest in her."

"She's family!" Dora shouted at her husband not liking his attitude towards her little teleporter.

"You once called the Romanian's family and yet you turned your back on them!" He snapped, his incredibly thin tolerance gone at this point.

"For you." She pointed out. "This one's different."

"I don't get why you care about her so much, she's a fugitive! Why!?" He shouted in annoyance and slight jealousy that another vampire was taking his wife's attention from him.

"Because I sired her!" She shouted back.

"..."

Yeah I'm mean but you'll have to wait until next update for Caius's reaction.
