Fandom: Twilight Series
Rating: R ( M )
Warning: Explicit content, do not read when under 18. Also some character's death and mentioning of abuse. But I suppose that's why it's angst and rated mature =/
Pairing: Aro / Jane
Genre: Angst/Hurt/Comfort/ Romance

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Well, I do own blood. I believe it attracts vampires? =)

Summary: When Jane gets infected by the Human Disease (a virus that has spread and for which many vampires have been killed already) she decides to elope. But the virus brings more trouble than coping with humanity as hidden secrets surface and friends become hunted.

Au: This is my first try for twilight fanfiction. Why I chose the pairing I did? Because there's too little written about them. That must also be the reason I started to write this fic. Figures, doesn't it? xD

The girl kept on screaming and Jane rolled her eyes.

Seriously, how could she be this dull? As if screaming the lungs out of her life would help her anywhere into safety. Jane watched the spectacle in front of her continue with a pensive stare. Both Marcus and Felix were drinking hungrily from the girl's blood before she stopped struggling and grew limp in their hold.

She was dead.

Jane was convinced that their food would be much more exciting to eat if they wouldn't all react the same way to their lot. They were going to die, yes. Anything wrong with it?

She had forgotten how much the venom or a bite of a vampire could sting and hurt when one was a frail human being. She had in fact forgotten she had been one herself. There was only one man who could remind her of that.

Her eyes glided down the room until they came to rest upon the frame of Sulpicia. The tall lady was staring in front of her with a content smile on her lips that could easily be mistaken for a smirk. Jane kept watching her for a while before her eyes drifted back to where her brother was seated. He looked up at her with an evident smirk on his face.

"Enjoying it, my dear sister?"

Jane shrugged. She was bored out of her skin.

"No, not at all." She grumpily replied. Somehow she was feeling uneasy and it got her irritated. "It was like usual."

Alec raised a brow at her. "I thought you liked usual." He asked her with a confused tone.

"Normally I do, but not today."

Athenodora moved over to them until she was standing right in between the twins. They both glared at her. "Your conversation bores me." She rasped with a husky voice. "Go talk elsewhere."

Jane glowered at her before turning around. "Fine." She held up her hand in a waving gesture before she started walking to the door. Alec lifted himself up and out of his seat when the doors opened with a loud bang and they all froze their movements.

"Step aside."

Aro gestured for them to move and they did. He walked up to the thrones and took his place. Behind him the others showed up and Caius sat down next to him.

Jane looked at the crowd curiously.

There was a whole bunch of them and judging by their eyes and smell they were all vampires.

"Yes, I know." She could hear Marcus say to Athenodora a few feet away from her. "It's another one of these."

Athenodora bend forward to him. "She'll die?"

Jane immediately turned her head and scanned the crowd that now occupied the throne room. Alec had sat down again and was watching her with a prey like gaze. When she locked eyes with him she knew he had no idea what was going on just like her.

Helplessly her eyes drifted towards Renata who was talking to one of the strange vampires. She was holding a good distance between herself and the other vampires and this surprised Jane who knew how easily Renata got close to others. She wasn't afraid to enter someone's personal bubble.

"Quiet." Caius snarled and all conversations ceased.

Jane looked with huge eyes as the Volturi leaders started to discuss something with another before Aro stood up and pointed at a girl who was standing huddled between the crowd. Jane noticed how she was covered in what seemed to be plastic bags and she had to suppress a chuckle at the ridiculous sight of it. To punish someone this way was going to be a bit far in her opinion.

Were the Volturi masters trying to make a fool of themselves?

She should watch the calendar more carefully. It wasn't the first of April now, was it?

The other vampires stood a good amount of feet away from the girl who seemed to be crying.

'Wait?' Jane's eyes widened.

'Crying?'

Why would they bring in a prey with so many? It didn't make sense to her.

"There's only one sensible thing that we can do." Caius cried out and broke her rambling thoughts.

"Kill her!" Aro screeched and immediately the other vampires started chopping the girl into pieces and used candles and flames to set her afire. All the while none of them seemed to touch her and she cried out loudly as they killed her violently. Parts of her body seemed to regenerate as they had just been cut off but the flames were putting an end to that.

Jane covered her mouth with her hand.

This was the most gruesome sight she had witnessed. The distance the other vampires kept to their victim was making it seem so unrealistic to her. This girl wasn't a prey, she was a vampire.

And why they stood so many feet away and avoided to touch her while she pleaded for mercy and for her life was beyond Jane.

But it made her feel slightly sick.

She quickly turned away from the sight and left the room.
