Vampire Hunter (A Twilight Story) - Season 2 - Episode 7

Amun nods and answers in a cold voice and I get the distinct impression that he does not wish to be here more than most. “Yes, I observed the child in question and it was clear almost immediately that she was no immortal child…” before he can continue, however, Aro cuts him off.
“Perhaps we should redefine our terminology. By immortal child you mean a human child bitten and turned into a vampire correct?” I roll my eyes. Anybody who has been paying attention would already know this but I resist the urge to shout DUH like some five year-old. Aro just can’t resist dragging these things out and giving a theatrical performance.

“Yes that is correct.” He says unfazed by the ancient’s interruption.
“And what else did you witness about the child.” He says, his voice sounding generally interested.

“That the child is biologically theirs. That she grows. That she learns.” He says simply, confused to his inquiry as am I. He’s seen the truth in Edward’s thoughts and the thoughts he has heard, so I can’t see the point in this. I used to be incredibly good at deduction, at seeing the truth behind a situation but with Aro I was constantly confused, in the dark until it was too late and I found this extremely frustrating.
“Yes but what specifically did you see?” He said impatiently. Amun looked at him, his confusion becoming more pronounced confusion. I couldn’t see where he was going with the line of questioning. Amun seemed to think for a minute, clearly trying to decipher Aro’s words, but eventually spoke.
“That she grows…quickly.”
A small smile appeared on Aro’s lips and I had a feeling this is the information he was wanting to here. “And do you think she should be aloud to live?” he asks lightly, as if it was some mundane everyday topic. A harmony of hisses rose from their numbers and even some from the witnesses behind me yet Bella’s was the most ferocious. Aro does not respond or show any recognition of the protests and waits for Amun’s reply.
He looks around nervously before replying, clearly choosing his words carefully. “I see no danger in the child. She learns more swiftly than she grows.” Aro surveys him for a moment in silence before slowly making his way down the line, Demetri and Renata close enough to be his shadow. “Aro?” Amun continues.

Aro turns around swiftly and looks curiously at him. “Yes, friend?”
“I gave my witness and have no more business here. My mate and I would like to take our leave now.” He says stiffly but he’s so on edge I’m surprised he wasn’t jolting into the tree’s right this second.
Aro smiles warmly, “Of course. I’m sure we’ll see each other again soon.” It is clear in Amun’s eyes that he did not miss that threat but nods respectfully. Suddenly he and his mate turn in unison bolting into the trees and I can feel them disappear in seconds. I see Demetri looking intently in the direction of their departure for a minute and I pray that they’re fast. Aro continues his pace and soon stops in front of a large and powerful woman looking with beautiful red hair. “Dear Siobhan you are as lovely as ever.” He says kindly.

She inclines her head but says nothing, her eyes are wary as she looks down at the man before her, well if you can call him a man. Monster seems more appropriate.
“Would you answer my questions the same way Amun has?” he asks gently.
“I would but I would perhaps add a bit more.” She says forcefully but her voice is respectful though he has done nothing to deserve it. “Renesmee understands the limitations. She is no danger to humans and blends in better than we do. She poses no threat of exposure.” She concludes.
Aro’s face is grave as he asks “Can you think of none?” Caius face suddenly flickers with recognition as he see’s the path that Aro is going down. My frustration at being in the dark is enough to make me uproot a few trees.

Siobhan looks on with the same confusion and uncertainty. “I don’t think I follow you.” She says quietly and I echo her statement. Aro has one of the most calculating, conniving, disciplined and confusing minds I have ever seen. He slowly moves away from her, each step taking him closer to us, so subtle that it would take a few minutes for any human eyes to see his path.

Aro’s voice is low but clear. “There is no broken law. However does that follow that there is no danger? No.” he answers his own question, knowing how many would side against him. “She is unique, impossibly unique. Such a waste it would be to destroy something so lovely.” He sighs, as if it hurts him to go on. “But there is danger and this cannot be ignored.” He seems to be only talking to himself now, like a man walking alone in the woods pondering his existence but we all know he is intimately aware of his audience. “”How ironic it is that as the humans advance, as their faith in science grows and controls their world, the more free we are from discovery. Yet, as we become ever more uninhibited by their disbelief in the supernatural, they become strong enough in their technologies that, if they wished, they could actually pose a threat to us.”
“Wait, do you mean to say you wish to punish the child for a threat she may or may not pose?” I say in disbelief and anger.
