Heidi ran in between Felix and Demitri as they scanned the areas that they passed, careful to get every detail that could possibly pose as clues for the mission. As of yet, there was none.
Suddenly all three vampires came to an abrupt halt at the same time. A tempting smell was wafting towards them, causing their throats to burn deeply and feel like something was trying to claw it's way out. It was a familiar feeling that vampires knew very well, it was hunger. The smell of freshly spilled blood was everywhere, Heidi wouldn't have been surprised if a human could smell its sweet strench.
From the smell of it, there had been a blood bath and that only confirmed that it was the workings of newborns. Older vampires knew to hide their prey or to not feast in very large portions unless you were of higher rank, such as the Volturi, and were able to explain the disappearance. No, this was too bloody and not private enough for a more mature vampire. This was definitely the workings of newborns.
Felix glanced at Heidi before nodding, the huntress also turned to Demitri who copied the same movement as Felix. It would seem that they would attack straight out, first question them and then deal with them immediately. They needed to know the number of vampires that we involved in this so that they could report back to Aro and make sure that no more killings this obvious would happen in the area.
The two boys walked closely to Heidi on either side of her, the male guards of the Volturi were very protective of all the girls in the Volturi because of their smaller numbers. There weren't very many female guards and the males did their best to make sure that they never lost any. Felix and Demitri closed in around the beauty, much to her chargrin, she really didn't like the fact that they thought she needed protection, she could handle herself just fine.
They could smell the number of dead bodies as they walked into the clearing before they even saw them. It made all three of them cringe, not at the fact that there were dead bodies torn and thrown around, but over the fact that they would indeed have to clean up the mess later. And to add to that fact, they were to fight with the tempting smell of blood floating around the area. That always made matters a little harder, especially when they were very hungry.
A quick assessment with their eyes told them the number of dead humans were around a hundred to a hundred and twenty, which wasn't good. The number of missing humans would stirr a panic even after the Volturi had dealt with the newborns.
These newborns had done this country very severe damage that would take a couple decades to heal.
