I. Jane Anne Walcott
1) Murder has always been a part of Jane's life, right from the very beginning. In fact, one of her earliest remaining memories was from when she was three, when she accidentally waddled into a confrontation between her mother and Goody Dorcas Smith. Later on she discovered that the widow had walked on her mother in the midst of a sultry affair with the hamlet's blacksmith and threatened to tell Jane's father.
Time has made the details foggy, but she remembers being ushered out of the room by her frantic mother.
"Mummy, Goody Smif is tuwning blue!"
2) All it took was one little word. One little syllable not only changed her life forever, it ended it.

3) The night before they were to be executed, Jane and her twin brother promised each other that they would be strong; that no matter how intense the pain became, they would show no outward signs of fear. Alec showed his defiance by openly glaring at his accusers, his head held high with pride and cheekiness. And Jane?
She simply smiled.
4) She can still remember it, the pain that was so intense that it easily rivaled the flames that had previously licked her skin. It was something that no one, not even the lowliest of human beings, deserved to go through.
She was only twelve years old.
5) They say that that childhood innocence is a malady that gets cured a little bit each and everyday.
The thing is, Jane can't remember a time where she was ever truly innocent.
6) Upon awakening as a vampire, Jane remembers thinking the Cauis was undoubtedly the most enchanting man she's ever seen.
Even now, with his skin more closely resembling withered felt rather that the milky elegance it once held, she still hasn't changed her mind.
7) One does not need Marcus's abilities to sense the intense love between Edward and the mortal.
This both disgusts and intrigues her.
8) Jane's smile may inflict unthinkable pain, but her laugh is just the opposite. It's soft and carefree, like the warm summer breeze.
But Jane hadn't laughed in nearly four hundred years.
9) She still can't look at the flicker of a candle without flinching.
10) She isn't normal, even for a vampire, this she has discovered and accepted long ago. She is aware of her lack of morality and humanity, as well as the crazed look that has almost completely corrupted her cold burgundy eyes. She knows what she is capable of, the pain she can inflict on anyone with just a single thought, and takes great pleasure in her ability.
The world has made her who she is, a callous monster without the slightest hint of a conscience, and she insists on paying it back in full.
A/N: Alright, this is a new project I'm trying, and I would really appreciate some feedback as to how I'm doing so far. Also, special thanks to my beta thesunshinekid, for without her, this would probably read as something a fifth grader wrote. And special special thanks to ooosk, as her story "10 Things You Never Knew About the HP Characters" was the idea and inspiration behind this. If you have any interest at all in Harry Potter, I suggest you get off you butt and go read her story, you won't be disappointed.
