The pain was excruciating. It felt like her entire body was engulfed in flames. Her dying heart was beating horribly fast. She could feel it pounding throughout her entire body. It almost felt like the flames were having a final battle with her heart and her heart was losing. Finally, it was over.

The pain subsided slowly, eventually fading to her fingertips and then it was gone. They girl slowly opened her eyes. She was in what looked like, a castle. The girl sat up. She was on a cold stone table. Everything was so clear. She could hear everything. Someone was coming, she could here the footsteps long before the man entered the room.

The man who entered was creepy. He gave her an oddly creep smile. "Why, hello there." The man said, walking closer to her. "Who are you?" The girl said, getting up from the table and backing up. "My name is Aro" He said, holding out his hand. The girl placed hers in it cautiously. Aro placed his other hand on top of it and closed his eyes. After a moment he released her hand and opened his eyes. "Willow, such a lovely name!" Aro exclaimed, giving her another strange smile. "How did you know my name? Wait, what's going on." Willow demanded. The stone table slid across the floor. It seemed as though her fury had caused it. "You my friend, are a very gifted vampire." Aro said solemnly. "Vampire?" Willow said in surprise. "Yes, let us take a walk, shall we?" He said, gesturing her to come with him. Willow followed.

After explaining everything to her, Aro decided it was time she met the others. Willow was led into a giant throne room. About 15 vampires were waiting for Aro and herself in there. Willow scanned the room quickly. Her eyes locked on a hostile looking vampire. It was Jane. Her red eyes pierced into Willow's. Willow was looked back at her. "Alright Willow, it's time to show them your gift." Aro said, pushing her out in front of everyone. Willow looked back at him and he gave her a reassuring nod. Willow turned back around. She saw a stone bench and concentrated on it. It flew into the air and crashed against the wall, shattering.

The vampires stared at her wide eyed. They looked impressed all except for one. She stared at Willow with cold, red eyes. "Jane, be nice." A rather large vampire said. Jane softened her glare a little bit, but it was still a glare. Willow suddenly fell to the floor with a cry of agony. Her body was engulfed in flames again. Just as soon as it started, it stopped. Willow got back up. "Jane that was unnecessary." Aro said, giving Jane a disapproving look. "Just checking." Jane said calmly, a small smirk appearing on her face. Willow stared at Jane and made her fly up into the air. Willow held her there. The rest of the vampires were laughing. "Put me down." Jane snarled, struggling against the invisible force. "Alright." Willow said letting her drop. Jane hit the stone floor, sending a series of cracks into it. Jane looked up at her with a look of pure hatred.

Jane sent the strongest level of pain she could muster at Willow. Willow felt the pain for a second but tried to push it out of her mind. The pain bounced back and hit Jane. She cried out, but stopped it. The vampires stared at her, their mouths gaping. "Willow, you are much more powerful than we presumed." Aro said, staring a her in utter amazement.
