CHAPTER 1

I wondered the dark streets of Volterra. How did I get here? I couldn't clearly remember how, my hurry to run away from home was too great.

Suddenly I saw a great figure standing in front of me, his scent made it clear he was one of us. A vampire.

Even in the dark I could see him grinning. 'Come with me.'

I jumped slightly when I realized it was Felix, one of the Volturi's guards. He turned around, 'Do not waste time, Aro wishes to speak with you.'

I follow Felix back and he makes me sit and wait in the lobby by their newest human, while they finished dinner. I can smell it, the temptation so strong. But I hold myself together. Felix comes back to get me, leading me to the room where Aro, Marcus, Caius, sit and Jane, Alec, and Demetri stand to guard.I stand there in the center of a giant room with the leaders of the Volturi and their Guard. The scent of their previous meal still in the air. I hold my breath so my eyes don't fade to onyx; damn the taste is so tempting. Aro stands and walks down the steps closer to me.

He seems so calm and nice, though I know how. Thin that mask is and the powerful anger that lies beneath. He takes my hand and closes his eyes looking at everything in my past, as he does he shakes his head and says. 'I don't know how you do it Sasha.'

He pauses and looks up at me; he seems surprised 'You have a gift? Like Jane.' He turns to look at her, she's looking at me in anger, her teeth bared and I can feel she is fighting back a hiss. I answer him in a clear whisper, though everyone can hear me. 'Yes.' Aro walks to position himself between Jane and I, he looked deep in thought. Marcus said. 'Just do it Aro, you know you will regret it if you don't.'

Aro turns to him and nods 'Yes.' He turns back to Jane and I. 'Jane, Sasha Lets see whose power is stronger, shall we?' He took a few steps back and looked at Demetri. 'Get the human.'

Demetri nodded and quickly retrieved the human from the lobby, then placed her in front of us. Aro looked at Jane. 'Go ahead my dear.'

Jane smirked and looked at the human whispering 'pain' suddenly the human screamed, tears rolling down her cheeks. I wanted it to stop. I didn't want to do it. Finally Aro stopped Jane. He looked at me giving the human a few moments to breathe 'Go ahead Sasha, no need to be afraid.'

Aro grinned and I looked at the human and mouthed. 'I'm sorry' not needing to whisper like Jane suddenly the human screamed louder in pain, dropping to her knees. Aro looking at me in amazement then stopping me with a wave of his hand, I was happy to stop.

He turned to Demetri and nodded. Demetri grabbed the human and took her away. Aro then turned to me 'Well Sasha I must say, that was very intriguing. Would you mind staying with us for a while?'

Jane looked at Aro upset I looked at him with no emotions registering on my face. If I would say yes, I would be a member of what most vampires fear. If I say no they might not let me leave. I took an unnecessary breath and looked at Aro. 'I'm sorry I can't. I only came to Volterra to get away from...' I paused and Aro raised his eyebrow.

'From?'

I couldn't respond. My mind filling with the visions of what I was running away from. Aro moved to take my hand to read what I was thinking. I stood perfectly still and let him grab my hand. He stood there looking at me. I looked down and closed my eyes holding back the dry cry I wished to let out. Aro looked at me, my head down looking at the design on the floor

'Sasha, are you sure that is your only power?'

I looked up at him confused. 'What do you mean?'

He looked at me. 'You feel so much, just as a human would. It's like you would have the power to feel the emotions a human would.'

I looked at him and shook my head slightly. 'No I do not have another power Aro. I have spent the past few years living amongst humans.'

He interrupted me. 'Mutts are not humans Sasha.'

I bit my tongue. 'I wasn't talking about them and even though they are not human they are my friends. Friends I have left because of my emotions. I cannot sit in a town and be hurt by people I love Aro.'

He held his hand up 'Then why live there Sasha? When you can live here, with us.'I could feel all the heads in the room turn to look at me I stood there thinking, knowing he was right.I looked at Aro, his red eyes piercing me. 'I am sorry Aro I cannot live here with you.'The smile on his face slowly fading away.

'It's not that I don't feel honored but I have a family to get back to.'He put his hand up for me to pause 'Then why did you come to Volterra Sasha, there must be a reason.'

I looked at him, biting my tongue. I knew he knew why I ran from home, so why was he trying to make me say it. 'Aro you know why I didn't want to be home.'

He gave me a look I couldn't quiet place 'Yes, but the others here don't Sasha. It is not fair to keep secrets you know.'

I could hear Jane give a smirk Felix stood near by; I guess he feared I would run out. And Demetri stood there watching intently, I looked at Demetri, his eyes met mine. He quickly looked away as Aro said my name to get my attention.

'Sasha, if you don't wish to share. Then please just stay with us, you and your powers would be a great addition to the family. 'Aro smiled at me hopefully. 'How about this, Stay the week and decide then.' He nodded once and smiled at me. I guess this was going to be the only way I could leave.

'Okay, one week.'

He laughed and clapped 'Wonderful Sasha!' I smiled at Aro and he looked at Demetri and nodded once. 'Show her to her room Demetri.'

He looked at Felix. 'Keep a close eye on this one.'

He looked back at me and smiled. I narrowed my eyes a little and ignored the fact he may have just said I was one to run off and not keep my promise.

Demetri looked at me 'Come.'

He said and started walking I followed him out of the room as Aro spoke and Felix staid behind.

'We will see you soon Sasha. And please feel free to wear something more suitable for our home.'

I rolled my eyes knowing he had a smirk on his face. I followed Demetri and could tell he didn't feel comfortable walking with me.

'Are you okay? I asked as he looked at me from the corner of his eye.

'I'm fine.' He kept walking and I moved in front of him.

'Do I scare you?' I tried not to smile.

'No' looked me dead in the eyes.

'Are you sure?' I raised an eyebrow
