Jane Pov

I'm walking on the walls of Volterra, and thought I might have found myself an easy snack. I saw a young teen walking the outskirts with nothing but a skateboard and a backpack. Young ones are always so tender. I watched and observed. I circled the area watching the boy like a shark circling its prey. When I noticed a difference in his movements. He steps were as if he was gliding on air. The objects he carried seemed to bring no burden, despite the obvious bulk. His scent was that of neither a child of the moon, nor that of a vampire. He was definitely not one of those wretched wolves because they would never leave their precious reserve.

I appproached, cautious to what he might be, although I was sure he was no real threat. I came up next to him as if I was a fellow travelor, journeying to Volterra for some unknown reason. He seemed to acknowledge me with a short nod, and continued his way towards the city. I licked my teeth, prepared to strike, and found myself against the outer wall. He was holding me with a single hand, quite strong at that, and stared at me as if I had been a long lost ally.

"Thirsty aren't you?" He asked calmly. I was stunned. How could a simple human know of my impending assault. I looked at his eyes to find them of different shades each. His left eye was a deep emerald green, shining in the moonlight. The other, a deep gold, akin to the shade of the Cullens' eyes. He had middle length white hair. Not old granpa weak and thin white/grey hair. It was thick, strong shining white almost silver, almost as if it was made of pure silk.

He moved away, leaving me holding my throat, breathing heavily. He seemed to be searching for something in his bag when I tried to cause him pain. He seemed to giggle slightly, and pulled out a can of tomato juice. He threw the bright red canister to me, with strength I hadn't expected.

"Here. This helps with my cravings. It's not the same, but the texture should be enough to tide you over for a few hours at least." He said as he brought another bright red can of the juice, and drank it down fairly quickly. "By the way, don't try that trick with the stare again 'cause it won't work."

I was stunned. He had known I had tried to use my gift on him, yet he went unaffected and still felt it. Such power was very interesting. He was similar the Bella, yet he seemed to eminate a different power. Almost like he knew exactly what I had tried to do, not just that I had tried to do something.

"What are you?" I asked as I opened the can.

"I would say vampire, but I guess that title is reserved for you crystal creatures." He answered, and continued on his way to the city. I followed after him, amuzing him by drinking the substance, and found it to have an interesting texture that did in fact sooth my burning throat, if only slightly. "Besides, I'm stronger than you guys, and I don't have to drink blood on a daily basis without the burning. It only comes after a couple of monthes of absolutely nothing. That had sucked. Still, tomato juice, and wild deer works great to get rid of it. Oh I almost forgot, what's your name?"

I would have blushed if I could. He had known I had tried to eat him, pinned me to a wall, and knew of my kind, and yet he had given me something of his to help it, and had no other question other than to my name. This child was very confusing to say the least. I thought about it, and figured the truth was the best since he would be dead soon anyway.

"Jane of Volturi. I must ask, are you not afraid of my kind?" I asked. I was already trying to figure out what he was, but I needed to know if he feared me at all. Fear was my greatest thing. Next to pain of course.

"No need to be, since you aren't any real threat individually. I have fought vampires before, but never more than one or two, and they had tried to feed. It would be a shame to end a beauty like you was just thirsty. Besides, even if I did break you, as long as you don't get burned, you'll be fine." He answered. Was he really so strong. I breathed in my nose to try and get his scent again. It was one of nothing like I had ever sensed before. Vampires had very sweet smell. Children of the moon had a dank, rotting smell as did the wolves. Human's smell like blood with slight differences that separate them.

This child, on the other hand, smelled like an odd mix of tomato juice, blood, and roses. Not one scent remained to shine above the others, as if he was made up of each equally. Never before had such a smell ever touched my nose, nor had any smell proven so alluring. It was enough to make me feel a strange mix of lust and desire, one of which I had nevver experianceed before. I have felt bloodlust, but never actual lust. Desitre sure, fore blood, pain and fear. Never for another creature as anything other than food.

This child however, with his smell alone, was making me experience feeling I was not yet akin to experiencing. It felt nice though, to feel this way.

I followed him into Volterra as he placed his skateboard on the ground. It was a simple board, designed to hold only about 180 lbs. Its grip and graphic were both well worn, but still viable and visible. The graphic was similar to his clothing, a mix of gothic fashion and skater attitude. The very picture of rebellion. He wore a red t-shirt covered by a black open butten shirt, with black cargo pants and untied sneakers. Each had either a skull motif, or a black rose motif all over them. It was very odd to find such a style in Volterra, considering such attire would find itself more welcome in North America than Italy.

"Wow. So this is the home of the Volturi? Nice place. Although, I thought Volterra was the safest placce from vampire attacks. Yet not five hundred feet from the city walls, a member of them tried to feed on me. Quite interesting." He said as he hoped on his board and proceeded to glide down the streets on the old, battered board. I followed after, hoping to bring him to Aro to see if he could be of any use. He seemed to pick up on that I wanted him to go somewhere, and allowed me to lead.

I brought him to the entrance underneath the clocktower, showed him the entrance and proceeded to show him the way.

"Let me guess, you wanna show me to the boss man right? Don't blame you." He said as we approached the main hall. As we entered the main hall, we were quickly greeted with that oaf of a servant Felix and Demetre. I left the child with them, giving a clear warning not to touch him. I walked up to Aro and placed my hand on his.

"Very interesting. Tell me, what do you plan to do about that lust?" Aro whispered silently enough for only me to hear. I had forgotten he would hear that, but shrugged it off. "So tell me child, who are you, what are you, and what business do you have with us?" He asked the child after my silence. I took my place next to Alec at the front of the room.

"I merely wished to see why the Volturi are considered so powerful. I guess I got my answer. So many gifts, and so many with them, it's really cool." The child answered.

"You can tell our gifts?" Aro asked, seeming even more intrigued.

"Yup, and so much more." He answered. Aro rushed towards him, grabbed his shoulder and remained silent.

"Another who can resist us? You are all appearing like flies now aren't you?" Aro asked jokingly and with a hearty laugh.

"Thanks, now I know everything I need to about the Volturi." the child responded.

"What do you mean child?" Aro asked.

"I have a few gifts of my own. One I think you might have heard of. Temporary power adaptation." He answered. I had no honest idea what that meant, but it left Aro completely silent as well as Caius and Marcus stunned. When Aro finally spoke, he seemed to be cautious in what he said.

"You can not only sense others gifts, but also learn them for a short time?" he asked.

"Yes, as well as make them slightly stronger. May I demonstrate with the gorgeous beauty over there's gift?" he asked motioning to me.

"By all means." Aro answered. The child breathed deeply, stared at Felix and made him crumble to the floor in pain. It seemed to affect Demetre and Santiago as well, just not to the same effect.

"You see, ones like her I can create a rippling effect, allowing it to affect more than one person, it just weakens with each person." the child answered.

"Unbelievable. I must say I would very much like a child such as yourself to join us. Would you like to join the Volturi?" Aro asked suddenly.

"I thought it was a vampire only club?" the child asked. "I am by no means the same definition of 'pyre as you guys. I don't need blood constantly, just pnce in a while, and I am not made of crystal, but flesh and blood."

"Even so, wwith such a gift, you would be a marvelous addition to our family. Chelsea, why don't you show him your talent." He motioned to Chelsea to come forward. The child smiled wickedly at that, but as I was about to warn Aro of the child's possible intentions, I felt a sudden detachment from him. My long since createed bond of master and servant suddenly snapped, leaving me with not a care for the existance, or end there of, of my former master. I turned to the child, knowing he must have done it, and felt a pang of thankfulness. I mouthed Thank you to him, and he smiled harder.

Suddenly the entire room began to surge with chaos as the child, as I guess he began to do at least, snapped the strong ties placed on all our members, creating a surge of chaos and disorder amongst us. I turned to Felix, and, now free of my loyalty to Aro, made him writhe in pain yet again. I was about to turn and do the same to Santiago, but was suddenly carried away by an unknown force, and was in mere moments down the hall of the Volturi stronghold with only the child near me.

"Well that went way better than I thought it would. Man, to think I actually cnsidered joining them." He said. I was stunned. In mere seconds, he had learned everything about the volturi from Aro, shattered the bonds that kept us so closely held, and rushed out of there with me. I stared at him in disbelief. He was amazing. "Okay next stop the Cullens. You wanna come along?" He asked. I could only nod. Why hadn't he created a bond with me with Chelsea's power, but just destroy the bonds of the Volturi.

"Okay let's go."
