Okay. So I figured for those not really familiar with the Volturi, I'd clear things up.
While I was reading, I did a LOT of research. I stumbled across a few things that helped me lead into the story, and they helped me very very much, indeed. Here are a few sites I went to, just in case you would want to do some "research", too.

So as of the characters, here they are:
Jane- can create an illusion of pain in the mind. You don't actually feel pain, she only makes you think you can feel it. It is often desribed as the burning feeling. It is said that she got this "burning gift" because of the many burns she had when she was still human.
Alec- can make you not feel anything. He cuts of all your senses. (I got my idea of his being completely oblivious to his emotions through his power)
Helga- their aunt who hates them. She doesn't care for them at all. She was the only remaining family left since the villagers burned their parents. (She is my character, and so she only exists in my story, not SM's.)
Aro- leader of the Volturi. Supposedly (According to my story), he's met Jane and Alec when they were still babies or toddlers while (volturi guard who can examine and know what your powers are, if you have) was still with him.
other characters will be mentioned in the upcoming chapters.
This is the part where I got my main ideas for the story:
(it's actually in the Twilight Wiki website)
The Volturi had their eyes on Jane and her brother Alec as potential vampires when they were still human, but were waiting until they were older to change them. When frightened humans started to burn the twins at the stake because of suspected witchcraft,Aro stepped in, slaughtering the whole village. Because of all she went through (several burns), Jane gained the power to voluntarily inflict a mental illusion of agonizing pain on others (burning illusion). Jane has since become one of the prize members of the Volturi Guard. It is unknown whether or not Jane's human name was 'Jane' as well, but the chances are high that it was. Her and Alec's surname remains unknown.
Nowhere in theTwilight Sagais it stated when Alec and Jane lived as humans, other than that it was in a period where burning criminals at the stake was a common execution method. Though already used by the Romans (the notorioustunica molesta), it saw its widest use from the late 12th century, almost at the beginning of the Renaissance, to the 18th century, well into the Illuminism, which may be an indication of when Alec and Jane lived as humans. The mention of them meeting Carlisle may put an earliest date around the 1650-1700s.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy my story. Thank you and please review :)
