Hello, hello, everyone. I have been working on this story for a bit and I wasn't sure if it was going anywhere, so I held off on posting it. This is also my first fanfic. I have a few chapters done already and if I get some good reviews and you want to see more of it, I will keep on with it.

(Disclaimer: I own Penelope, that's all).

Enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE

I was on the plane to Volterra. I had changed fifty years ago and I had finally buckled down, deciding now was the time to make a home. I heard they only wanted people with special abilities and that I sure had. The woman next to me had since ceased asking me questions having placed the headphones on to watch the in flight movie. We landed a few hours later and I stood in front of the carousel waiting for my luggage to come around.

I had decided early on in my decision to come to Volterra that I would go to the castle on my first night and if I was not welcome I would leave immediately. My bag came around; I grabbed it and left at human speed. As I waited to cross a busy street, I looked down at what I was wearing. Ripped up jeans, black canvass slip on shoes and a grey t-shirt, not exactly what to wear to an important meeting with very important people.

I found a hotel, not five star, but acceptable. There was one queen sized bed, amenities and a bathroom. I showered; I could smell humans on me. I ripped out the green coloured contacts I had been wearing and put them back in their case. My eyes were blackening, I should feed, but I had business first and I have learned over the years to not lose control. Wrapped in a towel, I looked through my suitcase. A black cocktail dress, vintage. It was not vintage to me; it was one of the pieces of clothing I kept from the 50s. Black mary jane heels were perfect with it. I found a black ribbon and pulled my hair into a pony tail, followed by make up.

As I took the walk to the castle, I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. I stood staring up the castle, the structure itself was intimidating. I took an unnecessary breath and yanked the heavy door open, slipped in and closed the door behind me. I followed the lanterns down the corridor, no longer using my slower human speed. I came to an intersection and stopped. I heard voices and I continued straight. Again, I stopped. This time there was a man hole like area and that's where the voices originated.

If they were like me, they were either expecting me or waiting to tear me apart when I get there. Truly, there were so many possibilities and I could not even count them.

'Bloody good time to dress up, Penelope,'I grumbled as I shifted the cap.

I slipped down in and moved the cap back over my head. Carefully, I followed the light to the main room and all eyes were on me, one of my least favourite things.

'You are Penelope,'one with long black hair and a black cloak bellowed.

I nodded,'Yes, yes, Penelope Harlow O'Hara. I'm a telekinetic. I thought I could be of service to your family and I have no family.' Through my whole bit I cautiously walked forward.

'We know,'he responded and he pointed to another member,'Demetri said he sensed you near a few hours ago. It was not completely certain whether you were touring or if you were planning on being here, but clearly it became more evident the closer you became. Show me your ability.'

I was not being introduced to anyone, probably would not be until my acceptance, so I had to do my best to dazzle them. I noticed that there were a total of three men on three heavy chairs. They were being guarded by others, but my power would not involve me coming anywhere near them. The blonde one was smirking at me, doubt. That was it. Soon enough the three chairs were directly in front of me, horizontal line, and then I shifted them to be vertical, single file. The curtains then flew open. I sent the men and their chairs back.

He clapped,'Very well then. You are quite talented. How old are you, my dear.'

I thought a moment,'Sixty-six.'

'Why you are just a baby. Come closer and meet my family.'

I did and he began the introductions,'I am so rude, I am Aro. My brothers, Caius and Marcus. Our tracker, Demetri. The twins, Jane and Alec. Felix, Santiago, Renata, Chelsea and Heidi. Heidi finds our food and by the looks of you you have not eaten in awhile.'

I shook my head,'No, I haven't.'

'We will change that tomorrow, darling Penelope. We will send someone to help you retrieve your things tomorrow,'Aro told me.

'I only have a suitcase,'I informed and then gave my location.

I was escorted from the castle by Jane and Alec. Jane seemed a bit more doom and gloom than Alec, but both had a dark element to them. That bit I believed was just the reputation of the Volturi. We exchanged short good byes and Alec closed the door behind me. I nearly skipped back to the hotel at vampire speed. I began jumping lightly on my bed out of excitement. I felt like I had gotten the best date to the Sadie Hawkins dance.

I had not had a family since my human one and even that I did not want to think about too much. I only thought of my family enough to remember them; it was mostly my mother that I had a problem with. She sold us down river anyway for her new husband.

I looked at the clock, 10:00 PM. This would all change tomorrow. I turned on the television and I was lucky that Italian was one of the languages I took up. I would need something to take up my time.
