A/N: Wow after like a million years of not writing I'm back and with the always lovely Twilight as my story of choice! I did not think I would ever come up with a solid Twilight fanfiction idea. (Well I dunno how solid this will turn out to be but you know) Anyways, please tell me what you think, reviews are always appreciated as they make me feel loved.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or Jasper sadly. Stephenie Meyer does, that brilliant writer that she is.

Jane's POV

I whistled through the woods that were now becoming very familiar to me. The usual guard was drifting silently behind. Sadly, we were not in for the kill tonight. I would very much have loved to sink my teeth into that annoying human girl, let her feel the pain her mind so handily blocked, but alas we had a far more delicate mission planned.

Aro had been denied something he wanted for a very long time and Aro hated not getting his way. I was happy to please him of course, especially on the more violent missions where pity was not necessary. Pity was not a daily part of my vocabulary, I would much rather watch my victim thrash at my feet than see their eyes fill with that disgusting gratitude. Aro granted too much pity. This mission would be even more fun than the usual search and destroy though. We would be leaving searing emotional scars in our wake. Sometimes mental torment was more fun than physical anyways. I was more apt to it with my gift.

"Jane darling, we're getting close. Let me deal with the mind reader and fortune teller." Alec had suddenly appeared at my shoulder, halting me with a single hand on my arm. The guard stopped instantly behind us, Felix muttering under his breath. He wanted to simply run in and destroy them all, idiot. That would have very negative repercussions for all of us, even if Aro wanted something he was very insistent that we cause as little damage to his dear friend Carlisle as possible. Aro's wrath was very painful. Not that I faced it often, normally I was the wrath. Nothing was more effective than the pain I caused.

I watched as the gray mist slithered silently across the grass towards the imposing house, slipping in under the cracks, its victims unaware. We waited in silence for a sign that it had been effective.

"Alice?... Alice are you okay?" The low tones of her mate wafted across the lawn towards us. Alec nodded and we started forwards again. I turned to our ranks, three of them breaking off and melting into the forest, to prevent escape and interruption. Demetri and Felix closed in close behind Alec and I, making sure we wouldn't be hit by surprise attacks; we never knew what this coven could bring. I felt my anticipation grow as we reached the front door, it creaked open silently.

"Carlisle? Are you back? Alice isn't well, I don't know what to do." Her mate sounded worried beyond reason, I could guess that Alice was lying senseless somewhere in the house. I smirked as we headed towards the sound of his voice. We wouldn't sound any different than his family returning home, there were four of us and four of them were missing. He was probably too worried to notice the differences.

I watched the grey smoke drift lazily back towards Alec, we would know when it was time to invade. I heard the faint shifting of fabric as the little one came to.

"Uhhh…"

"Alice! Are y-"

A high gasp issued from her. "Jasper! Jasper look out!"

"What? Alice, I don't understand."

"They're here."

We rushed into the room then. Then blond had caged Alice in his arms in a corner, she clung to him tightly with her face buried into his chest. She was obviously looking for some way out of our foolproof plan. I wondered what she saw in her future and quickly scorned myself for taking interest in her. Edward had thrown himself down the stairs in an effort to keep Bella out of this. He stood at the foot of them like a guard.

"Don't you even think of touching her. I will tear you apart."

I laughed mockingly, looks like he hadn't bothered to delve into out thoughts once he realized we were actually here. "We're not interested in the girl Edward… At least not tonight."

He stiffened, confusion replacing the malice in his features. When he had finished reading into why we were here his eyes narrowed. "I don't think we're going to want that either. Alice and I would rather stay here."

The blond one clutched tighter at Alice, her features were crumpled in defeat. She knew there was no way for escape. With only three vampires, though all were gifted, and one useless human they could never take down our larger number of seven. The rest of their coven wouldn't be back for another twelve hours at the least and we would be long gone by then. She reached up a hand to his face, and they stared intently at each other.

"Well Aro always gives a choice Edward… at least in your case, and I think his offer is going to be quite hard to…"

"Refuse." Alec finished my sentence smoothly. "Whatever is the human girl doing Edward? She hasn't made a peep."

"You kill her? If there's any left I want some." Felix flexed stupidly behind me.

A feral growl ripped from Edward. "She's sleeping!"

"And we wouldn't want to wake her would we?" Alec cut in smoothly.

Edward finally seemed to see reason; his shoulder slumped though his defensive stance remained. "True. What exactly is Aro's offer for me?" He spoke sarcastically, as if he believed no offer would ever tear him away from his precious Bella.

I stepped forward, still keeping a fair distance from him. Demetri fell into step behind me. "Aro proposes that you join our ranks in the Volturi as a high ranking official. As one of his advisors, as he calls it. It would be a totally new position filled by you-" I looked pointedly at Alice. Her mate growled as he noticed my gaze had shifted, I wonder how he knew, he hadn't stopped looking at her since we came in. "And one other who he thinks would be useful to him."

"I don't accept." He spat the words at me, I returned his gaze unflinchingly.

"You didn't let me finish."

He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, probably some stupid human habit for dealing with stress. "Continue."

I nodded. "If you join us Aro will be willing to drop suspicions against your little pet."

He watched me seriously. "Meaning…?"

"Meaning that she would be considered trustworthy. As such we would never be required to check up on her. Which means…"

"She could stay human." Edward looked thoughtful now; the chance to leave his little human what she was was a very tempting offer for him.

"You know that isn't what Bella wants Edward." All eyes shifted to Alice, who had spoken for the first time. She didn't look very hopeful and I could see her mate growing increasingly agitated. Just looking at him was making me feel useless and antsy.

"Sometimes Bella doesn't know what's best for her." He watched me closely. "What if I said I would rather make her immortal at a later date and decline the offer?"

I grinned widely. "If you are willing to make her immortal you're going to have to do so now. If you aren't going to join us then Aro told us to treat this as a checkup."

He grimaced. "I thought as much. I know what I want but…" He sighed resignedly. "I don't think there's any other choice."

"Edward don't be stupid!" Alice glared across the room at him. Her mate watched her, confused at her sudden anger in the midst of her defeat.

"Do you think I want to Alice? I can't do that to Bella, it wouldn't be right."

"It's exactly what she wants!" She was whispering now, the anger still present in her voice and I thought I heard the faint rustle of sheets from upstairs.

"Think of Charlie, think of her friends. I know she wants it but this isn't how it should happen, totally unprepared like this. What would the town think if she came to a sleepover here and never came home? Vanished off the face of the earth? That would kill Charlie and her mother too. I know Bella thinks she wants this but I also think she would want me to consider her family and our reputation if she actually thought it through. I'm going to have to do what's best for her… she never does it for herself." What a soppy speech, Aro knew he would choose what's morally right. 'It's in his makeup to be noble.' He had told us before we left. Disgusting.

Edward solemnly made his way towards me. "Can I trust the Volturi's word?"

I smiled sweetly. "Why don't you check for yourself?"

His eyes narrowed in concentration as he sifted through all our minds, looking for some sort of loophole in what Aro had told us. He sighed again. "Aro was very clear she will be safe, I guess I have no choice."

Alec stepped forwards with his hand extended. "Welcome to the Volturi." Edward gazed at his hand for a moment before smacking it out of the way and stalking back to the doorway, leaning against the frame like a moody teenager.

"Manners Edward, Aro always demands that we treat others as we would like to be treated." I giggled softly, knowing how much my next words would annoy him. "After all, we're family now."

He growled incoherently. I turned to Alice next. "Well I'm quite sure you know who the second Advisor would be." I hated how much Aro wanted her; I was supposed to be his crowning gem… well me and Alec.

She turned away from her mate for the second time tonight to fix me with a pointed glare. "Just because he accepted doesn't mean I'm going to. I will personally turn Bella into a vampire tonight if you give me that offer."

I was tempted to smile angelically and use my power on her but Aro had specifically said not to harm Edward, her or the human girl unless Edward didn't agree with our offer. I was so tempted; it might be worth Aro's wrath. No one ever looks at me like that and gets away with it. "Alice your case is very different from Edward's, in your case there is no choice. Aro wants you far too much to give you a choice."

Her mate growled viciously at this. "And what exactly are you planning to do about this? The Volturi always give a choice, it's law." I could feel the despair emanating from him in steady waves, his former view of our fairness and nobility was being shattered before his eyes.

"Jasper…" Alice stroked her fingers along his jawbone gently. He buried his face in her little shoulder, breathing deeply.

"As I said, Aro wants your Alice very much-" I paused for a moment, trying to remember the name Aro had given us. It came to me after a moment; I never bothered to learn names. If I wasn't ever going to see them again why should it matter? "Jasper." I was getting impatient, the lack of action was boring me.

"But she doesn't want to join you." He hissed the words through his teeth. Such disrespect. I clenched my fists angrily.

"Her opinion doesn't matter. And yours for that matter." I hissed back. Alec silently glided over and took one of my clenched hands, it relaxed automatically into his and he turned to Jasper.

"What Jane is trying to say is that Alice is very important to Aro and of course he has considered her happiness but she is too useful to be left to her own devices. He has to put the needs of the vampire society into consideration over the wants of the individual. Alice could help prevent a lot of problems. If you think of it that way then we must have her in the Volturi."

Edward snorted from his position against the door frame. I glared at him. "No one asked for your opinion."

He smirked. "Manners Jane."

I growled in response, turning my back on him. How I wished that Aro didn't want this insolent vampire for his ranks, he was practically human.

The blond was seething with rage. "Bullshit."

Alec looked surprised. "What was that?" I expected it much more; this coven was barely refined compared to us.

"I said bullshit. Aro wants her for himself. This is one trophy he can't have." He looked down at Alice with wondering eyes, like she actually was some sort of priceless trophy he had been lucky enough to win. What a stupid sap, there isn't anything special about her aside from the fact Aro wanted her. She isn't even that pretty, really. He set her down gently and stood defensively in front of her.

I turned and faced him head on, smiling angelically at him. He stiffened and then was thrashing on the ground at his mate's feet, his long frame contorting in agony, the pain clearly written on his features.

Alice screeched as she threw herself down beside him. "Stop it!"

I heard a mild scuffle and turned to see Felix restraining Edward who was trying with all his might to storm me. I'm sure he thought my use of torture was unfair. Jasper gave a low moan of suffering.

I almost didn't catch the black blur as she launched herself at me but she was swiftly trapped in Demetri's grip inches from my face. I crinkled my nose in disgust as she continued to thrash desperately. Demetri dragged her further away from me.

"Stop hurting him! You don't want him!" My gaze remained unblinkingly on her suffering mate and her shrill screams quickly turned to sobs as she realized she couldn't break free. She watched her mate's tortured expression for a moment before turning to look at me. "Please… please stop hurting him. I'll do anything."

"Anything?" I questioned her. I quite enjoyed the way his suffering caused her to suffer as well.

She nodded weakly. "Anything."

"Let her go Demetri. She knows what we want."

He set her gently on her feet, too gently in my opinion. She drifted like a lost puppy to Jasper, kneeling at his side, brushing some golden hair from his face. "I will join you… if you'll never hurt Jasper again. I'll be hurting him enough by leaving."

"We accept your request. Welcome to the Volturi Alice." Alec's voice masked his excitement very well. He had been as eager as Aro for Alice to join us. I didn't understand either of their views.

She nodded gently, cradling Jasper's head in her lap. "Could you stop now?" She didn't bother looking up at me.

"Jane." Alec looked at me with a stern expression. After another moment longer I looked away from Jasper and he slumped weakly on the ground. I heard Felix place Edward back on his feet, Edward growling in response to his grunt.

Alice stroked his face with a tenderness that repulsed me. "Jasper… Jasper…"

His eyes fluttered open at the sound of her voice. "Alice." He shifted into a sitting position, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her into his side. She sighed with relief.

"You're okay."

He nodded. "Of course… Alice what's wrong?" She had started to dry sob into his chest. "I'm okay now, we'll be okay. Shhh… tell me what's wrong." Almost as if he was oblivious to all the onlookers he slipped a hand under her chin and turned her head to face him.

A shudder wracked her frame. "I-I have to leave Jasper. Please take care of Bella and the family. Can you do that for me… please?"

He stiffened, his arm becoming a restraint around her rather than a comfort. "You. Are. Not. Leaving. Me."

She sighed, taking the hand under her chin into her own. "I have to Jasper… I don't want to." Her hands stroked his gently as she gazed at him. I wondered how much longer this was going to go on. Maybe if I used my power on him again, Demetri could throw her under his arm and we could be off before he could catch us. It would take a moment for him to get up on his feet again. "I don't want them to hurt you anymore, I can't stand it Jasper."

He must have felt her determination, seen the sickening love welling in her eyes as she said his name. Something in him cracked and he was the one sobbing. Alice pulled him close to her and planted a lingering kiss on his forehead. "Alice." He moaned her name as if he was in immense pain. As if I was torturing him again. She tilted his head up towards her and placed her lips gently against his, he responded hungrily and soon they were both wrapped up together, kissing and crying. It was the most confusing thing I had ever seen. How can you love through such sadness? This coven is the most backward thing in vampire society. Even those other weirdoes in Denali wouldn't react in that way, I was sure.

She must have decided it was enough because she broke the kiss. "I love you, always remember that. Wherever I am whatever I do, if I never see you again know that I love you more than my life. There will never be anyone I could ever love as much as I love you Jasper Whitlock." She placed another lingering kiss on his forehead before stepping back. Their expressions crumbled at the same moment and he clutched at her weakly as she drifted solemnly to our side of the room, beside Edward.

He wrapped an arm around her as she cried. "I'll take care of her for you Jasper… Please, please make sure Bella is safe." How much longer could this go on! How could they form such attachments with each other! Edward turned to me. "May I say goodbye to her?"

I sighed exasperatedly. "If you have to." He flashed up the stairs, making Alice look very small by herself. He was back in less than two minutes, a look of quiet resolution on his face.

"We should probably go now, she'll be waking soon."

Alec nodded. "Alright, round up the rest of the guard Demetri."

"Of course." He was out the door in a flash. I looked over my shoulder one last time at Jasper, he was heaped on the floor where we left him. He looked up and met my gaze with one of such hatred it could have belonged on my face.

"Why? WHY!?" He threw himself towards me in an attempt to rip me apart I was sure. Felix was ready and had him in a tight grip before he was even half way across the room. This caused Alice to break into fresh sobs. I started towards him but Alec was there before I took more than two steps.

"There's some rules you're going to have to follow Jasper."

Demetri came to the door then, Edward dragged Alice out beside him. "They're not going to hurt him Alice."

Jasper glared at Alec, though he had stopped trying to fight Felix. "Why should I listen to you?"

"If you don't follow them there could be very bad repercussions for Alice."

He shuddered. "What then?"

"We don't want the others to get suspicious of your little friends' actions. You're going to have to tell them they went of their own free will. They'll be calling later on, once they're settled in to confirm your story and Aro will want to talk to Carlisle. If he feels Carlisle is too suspicious, if he thinks you might have told him the truth… it won't bode well for Alice."

He nodded in defeat. "I'll the others what you want as long as Alice is safe."

"I thought so." He stepped closer to Jasper. "Goodnight, I'm sure it will feel good to have something close to sleep." The gray mist took effect before Jasper could ask what he meant. Felix put him down on the living room floor and we ran into the night, our two new unwilling charges were waiting outside, surrounded by the guard.

"We're ready to be off now." Alec addressed the guard evenly. "Everything has been taken care of." They all nodded, looking relatively pleased. Alec and I made our way to the front, ahead of Felix and Demetri in case our Advisors felt the need to vent their anger on us.

Alec nodded at me and we were whistling through the familiar woods once again.

A/N: So there it is! Chapter one is Bodysnatchers by Radiohead, it's a good song so you should check it out. I managed to get a line from The Host in there, gold stars for anyone who can figure it out! (It's really not that hard if you read the book anyways, I love that book with a passion.) I really hope this chapter was okay, next one should get into the plot a little more, this was just the base for the story. Please review if you think this is worth continuing, reviews make me smile.
