"You want me to what?" Amun spoke up.

"Contact the Cult for us, we know you have before."

"That could take months, years, before they even look."

"I don't care Amun." Demetri told him.

"It's the least you can do for them." Kebi said to her mate.

"I agree." Benjamin spoke again.

"Who are you?" Demetri asked tilting his head to the side slightly in confusion.

"That's Benji," Andy said happily teleporting to the Egyptian's side. She hugged the younger vampire happily ignoring her mate's growls. "And this is his mate Tia." She put emphasis on the word mate for Demetri's sake as the tracker approached pulling Andy back to him.

"So you're the older brother I've heard so much about." Benjamin's red eyes sparkled in amusement.

"It would appear so." Demetri replied shaking Benjamin's outstretched hand. "I see that Amun likes to keep you hidden."

"It is true, but I like it here with Tia. My abilities-" Demetri cut him off,

"It's probably better if I don't know." The tracker informed causing Benjamin to smile.

Demetri moved to hug Kebi and returned to Andy's side but stopped when his phone rang. "I'll meet you outside."

"You know I enjoy visiting this place." Andy grinned bending down to run her fingertips through the pool's water. "Let us hope the next time we see each other it is on better terms." She directed to the Egyptians. She rose and headed for Kebi hugging the gentle woman. She then returned to Benjamin and Tia hugging both of them.

"Andromeda before you leave there is something you should have." Amun spoke up leaving the room. He reappeared with a leather bound book with animal skin pages. It looked incredibly fragile and old. "It was Mathias's, don't ask how it came to be in my possession because I won't tell you."

"Might make for an interesting read." Andy shrugged nodding to the coven before leaving.

Demetri stepped out of the building and headed to a private alley where he could answer his device without prying ears.

"Felix." He said into the mouthpiece as a loud scream echoed through from the other end. He winced pulling the phone away from his ear waiting for the noise to die down.

"Sorry, Caius is in a bad mood, he's having Jane torture Mathias." His friend's voice spoke over the screams.

"Do I have orders?"

"What have you found out?"

"We followed the trail to Cairo. Amun has had contact with them."

"Amun?"

"Indeed, he must have a death wish." Demetri growled. "He's been supplying them information on Andromeda so they don't target his coven."

"Aro wishes to speak with her."

"You and I both know she won't."

"May I?" He felt her appear at his side her hand gesturing to the phone in his. He sighed and placed the phone in her hand. "Hello Felix darling," she spoke into the mouthpiece with a smile and playful wink at her mate.

"Ah, Andy someone here wants to speak with you."

"I'm sure, put him on would you?"

"Well if it isn't my trackers mate." The voice was overly cheery and made her cringe looking to her mate who just shrugged.

"Well if it isn't my mate's master." She replied in the same tone of voice. "Now that the pleasantries are out of the way we have a problem."

"I am aware, they sent us a letter."

"What?" Demetri hissed.

"This letter, what did it say?" Andy inquired raising a brow.

"If they can't have you they will take Athenodora. Sorry my dear, but the Volturi will not risk the life of one of the wives."

"I don't intend for you to do that." She replied ignoring the snarling male beside her, "it's not me who will disagree with your decision, you'll have to call him back if you want this to work. I will be the bait, I want them dead as much as you do, but they won't come for me if he is near."

"This is true."

"Did they say why they wanted Athenodora?"

"They are under the belief you wouldn't want anything to happen to her."

"Well it is true, I wouldn't wish that on her."

"Demetri you are to return to Volterra."

"No." Her mate snarled.

"We'll talk about it." Andy told the ancient vampire hanging up the phone. She crossed her arms and turned to the incredibly pissed off vampire.

"I'm not going back."

"Yes. You. Are." She accentuated each word with a grin and sped out onto the street grabbing the nearest human that screamed in surprise. With a grin she let her teeth sink into the sweet flesh of the man she'd taken. The tracker watched her actions in slight confusion as she hid the body and rushed back to his side.

She placed her blood stained lips on his her hands tightly clinging to his neck pulling him closer. He couldn't resist responding to her vaguely feeling the empty pull that drew them from place to place.

Andy smirked into the kiss scoffing to herself. Men were rather easy to distract. She released her grip on him and stepped back grinning at the glazed look in his eyes. "Sorry love, but you know I am more than capable of taking care of myself." She gave him another soft kiss and pulled away looking into his deep red eyes, "you can feel me, you will be fine." With one last look she was gone.

Demetri sighed to himself taking in his surroundings. He stood in the shade of one of the trees surrounding Volterra. Resigning to his fate he lowered his head and raised his hood before moving through the shadows of the city.

He was stuck on guard duty. He hated guard duty, always has, always will.

He could feel Andy's tenor, she'd finally stopped moving and was now settled in North America with the two newborns. He could feel them as well but had no desire to go after them. It was a waste of time anyway.

For some reason he was guarding the tower that housed the wives and Corin. He hated it because he knew his mate was out there being reckless while a dangerous group of extremists were after her.

"I'm sorry, I know how much you hate guard duty." A cool feminine voice spoke up from behind him as she held open the door to her tower. "Come inside Demetri, I would like a word."

The tracker frowned slightly and followed after the silver haired woman.

She offered him a seat in the lavishly furnished tower which he took still looking at the woman in confusion.

"I remember the first time I met you." She smiled softly, "you saved my life and I will be forever indebted to you for that."

"Run, run Dora!" Aegeus shouted to the silver haired vampire. She looked to her sire in shock as he's tackled by a large werewolf, the disfigured monster sinking its teeth into his skin.

Terror ran through her veins as she ran as fast as she could towards Italy. If anyone could help right now, it was Caius. Her craving for blood increased as she depleted all the energy left in her system, pushing harder and harder her royal blue cloak flying out behind her like a cape as her darkening eyes searched desperately for danger.

The hot breath on the back of her neck sent a shiver up her spine. She was too terrified to look back at the creature that was chasing her under the light of the full moon. She focused her sight forward in desperation seeking the outer boundary of the Volturi territory where the lower guards were patrolling.

She released an ear splitting scream as she felt razor fangs slice through her marble flesh like soft butter. She didn't stand a chance, but fought for her life nonetheless.

~~~~~

Demetri hated guard duty. He was two centuries old this was newborns work, he would much rather be useful and track something. A hiss left his lips as they curled at the disgusting scent of wet dog. The vampire in him wanted to turn tail and run, the hunter in him turned and tracked the scent closer to the city.

His crimson eyes shot up at the piercing shrill that filled the air and broke the once calm silence of the night. He felt his muscles tense in anticipation at the sound and rushed towards the source alerting a couple of guards in the process.

The hunter broke through the forest at pace his darkened gaze searching for the creature. He lifted his head tasting the scent of female vampire on the air. Someone had been injured or killed, he needed to get there and fast.

His gaze narrowed on the creature standing over a crippled form with vampire venom oozing from its mouth. Demetri had come across a werewolf before, he knew what he was looking at as soon as his gaze saw the form. It was monstrous. Something between a wolf and a man. Claws protruded from its nail beds and matted black hair covered the majority of its form. Thick pointed teeth and elongated canines gleamed against the moonlight as its yellowed eyes met his ruby ones.

He reacted before the creature his instincts driving him actions as he lunged for the werewolf's jugular only to be met with a hand shaped paw to his chest.

The werewolf used the momentum of Demetri's attack to fling him, uprooting a tree in the process. The tracker twisted back onto his feet and rushed to the female's side crouching over her form protectively as the wolf went to strike again. He didn't hesitate as he lunged for its chest tearing at the fur covered flesh. He stood as the creature fell to the ground in a heap a still beating muscle in his hand as back up arrived.

Demetri had a deep hatred for werewolves from that moment onwards. "I was just doing my job."

"I know." She replied, "The others don't realise that even though we live in this tower, we know more about what's going on out there than everyone else. No matter how hard Caius tries, he cannot hide things from me."

"I don't know-" She cut him off raising her hand.

"I requested you be posted here, I thought you might want to hear some stories."

"About what?"

"About whom is more accurate." Athenodora smirked to herself. "How about I tell you about trying to teach my little teleporter how to carry others with her. She was rather talented going by herself, but carrying others proved to be a bit of an issue for her."

"You know Andy?"

"Of course I do, I changed her."

Flashback about 1032 Crete, Greece:

"But I've never tried to take someone with me before." Andy spoke looking at Athenodora who patiently waited for Andy cooperate.

"You're making excuses, I know you can do it." She said, "You'll only get better with practise."

"How do you get around the mind reader's ability, father said they do not know of me."

"You're different Andromeda, you're a free spirit, and many don't understand that. The Volturi won't understand that. That is why he keeps you out of their sights. I have had practise hiding my thoughts my dear." She informed. "Now back to the task. You can already take your clothes and small objects with you. I want you to try a person."

"But,"

"No buts, focus Andromeda." She said and indicated to the live humans whimpering in the corner.

Sighing Andy forced a human to their feet. It was a young female that would become her meal after this little experiment. Her hands tightened on the upper arms of the human as she clenched her teeth and focused on the other side of the room.

She reappeared with the human and held it upright. "It's dead." She said simply pouting as she looked to her sire.

"But you still succeeded." Athenodora said looking over the human. "Her heart stopped."

"Well I can't eat her now," Andy scrunched her nose dropping the human to the floor.

"I saw her drink from a blood bag." Demetri told Athenodora who laughed.

"Oh she must've been desperate then. She likes her prey alive and screaming just like every other hunter." She managed between chuckles. "I'm glad she has you, even if it took a thousand years for you both to find each other."

"Do you know who she was, when she was human?" He asked, "She's been getting memories from her human life and can't make sense of them."

"I found her on the beach, she'd hit her head on the rocks." Athenodora informed. "I don't know why I changed her, but I'm glad I did."

"I'm glad you did too. Does Aro know?"

"Of course not." The Volturi queen smiled. "My loyalty is first and foremost to the Greek coven, or what remains of it. Yes, I love Caius, but Andromeda is family and I knew she wouldn't want to live like this." She rose and approached a small chest she kept on the mantle and opened it. With a smile she lifted a heavy silver chain an amulet hung at the bottom. It was the wheel of Hecate with two crescent moons on it, the symbol of the Greek coven. She walked over to the tracker and placed it over his head. It fell to the same position as his Volturi crest. "It suits you." She smiled. "Keep it, I think Aegeus would've liked you."

He smiled in response tucking the chain into his shirt.
