Here is my second story, it revolves around Jane and Alec.

Please read, comment, give me feedback!
We had just left the scene of the "almost battle" against the Cullens and the army they had formed. I was with my brother Alec, Aro, Marcus, Caius, Demetri, Felix, Heidi and Chelsea. The rest of the coven had left immediately and swiftly returned to Italy without a look back. We however, were slowly walking through the forest, not bothering to run, not ready to return to Italy just yet. While everyone was disappointed by the outcome of the fight, I felt somewhat relieved but anxious. I was aware of my need to let the energy out of my eyes and hurt someone, but for some reason, I did not want to see the Cullens in pain. I brushed away the thought. The purpose of my existence was to serve Aro, I knew that, and the only coven I should ever have protective feelings for was the Volturi; with Aro, Caius and Marcus at the top of my priority list. Alec squeezed my hand, seeing the look of uncertainty in my eyes. I could tell he was scared of my doubt, my indecision. I squeezed his hand back, forcing my mouth into a reassuring smile when Aro suddenly spoke.
"Well, that didn't go the way I expected it to, but no worries, those vampires will pay us back someday."
I frowned, "But they did nothing wrong, Aro."
Aro then turned to stare at me, confused. "Jane, what has gotten into you? An army of vampires has just thwarted us and you didn't even get to make use of your power once. Aren't you at least a bit angry?"
I looked down, "Well, of course I'm mad at that shield, Bella but they really didn't break any laws. They were just trying to protect their child---"
"---Jane," Caius cut in, "You aren't starting to have motherly feelings are you?"
"And what is wrong with having motherly feelings? I am a girl after all." I said defensively.
"Jane, Jane, Jane," he sneered, "You are not a girl, you are a vampire, a monster. And not just a normal monster, you serve the Volturi. You serve us. As one of our strongest weapons, there is no time for feelings. Just because you are a simple girl---"
But I didn't let him finish his sentence. I was enraged, infuriated and I finally found my target to let out my energy on. I felt the power rush out of my eyes, and the image of him crippling helplessly in front of me was truly satisfying. The pain in his eyes made me smile; I even let out a soft laugh when he started screaming. After about a minute of watching him in pure agony, I finally released him from my gaze and he lay there, face down and breathing wildly.
"There's the Jane I know, I'm glad she's back" Aro chuckled, patting me on the back, then proceeding to help Caius up.
Giving both of them a dirty look, I scanned around me to see how the rest of the group reacted to my outburst. Marcus, leaning against a tree looked as bored as usual, Heidi was smiling at me and smirking at Caius, Chelsea was staring at me, probably trying to recover my relationship with Caius, and Felix and Demetri were engaged in a play fight, unaware of what just happened.
When I looked into Alec's eyes however, the hint of fear was back in his eyes. In his concentrated stare, I could tell that he knew something was definitely wrong with me. I fooled almost everyone with my little outburst, but my twin brother was connected to me in a different way. He knew that something had changed in me, that somehow I was now softer, kinder.
I motioned for him to take a walk with me, and he nodded, following my lead. As soon as we had gotten far enough from the group, and I was sure that no one would hear us, I began to talk.
"Alec, something is wrong with me."
"I know sis," was his simple answer.
We stopped walking and I turned to face him, "I don't know what to do."
His confused face was back, "About what?"
I thought for awhile before I answered, "About everything! Whether we should leave or not, where we would go after we left, who we would join, who would we keep close to us---"
"---Jane!" He interrupted, "We're actually going to leave?"
I looked down, and back up again, anger started to fill my eyes, "Well, I'm not comfortable here anymore. I mean, I love hurting people, but Aro was about to make me torture the baby! That's just inhumane!"
"Jane," Alec's voice was still quiet and calm, he never got worked up, "A week ago, you would be happy to torture a baby, it would be the highlight of your day."
"I know," I said desperately, "But I'm just not feeling it anymore, I don't know." I looked at the sky, "I think... I think Bella and Edward's story touched me."
"Well..." he started slowly, "Well... you aren't acting like yourself, and its scaring me, but if you really want to leave, I'm coming with you. We have to stick together sis."
I smiled at him; he was probably the most kind-hearted, loyal person I had ever met. Thinking of this, I continued, "Bro, we don't belong here anymore. I don't know how it happened, but we've turned into nice, good people."
He smiled, taking my hand. "Well, we're gonna have to tell Aro about this. He won't be happy."
"Tell me what?"
I turned around sharply, hissing while beside me I saw Alec imitating my movement. Aro's eyes were tinted with fury, and I knew he had heard at least the last part of our conversation.
"Give me your hand," he growled.
