Sleeping Sun
Chapter 1
The Sun is sleeping quietly once upon a century.
"Pity…you missed one".
At Jane's words, all eyes were turned on Bree. She had tried to remain unnoticed and as quiet as possible, but when standing in the face of fear itself, it was kind of hard not to be noticed. Bree knew all about Jane and her comrades, how they had wanted the Army to succeed in destroying the Cullen Coven. Jasper stepped up next to her and appeared as if he were willing to defend her.
"We offered her asylum in exchange for her surrender" Carlisle told Jane.
She didn't appear amused. "That wasn't yours to offer".
Her red eyes fell on Bree who looked back at Jane and then at Jasper again. She wasn't trying to look afraid, but it was hard. Never before had Bree been so afraid of anyone or anything.
"Why did you come?" Jane demanded.
Bree kept her mouth shut, determined not to say anything. Jane smiled a little and pain like no other shot through Bree's body. She screamed in pain and terror. This wasn't good at all.
"Who created you?" Jane asked.
Bree was in too much pain to answer. She was on the ground, screaming in agony. Behind Jane, Felix flinched lightly. He knew what that was like, to be subjected to Jane's power. It made him both hate and respect the girl. Jane had used her ability on him recently, when he had wanted to tell Aro about all of this mess. He hadn't hated her so much before then. He hated her guts now, whatever guts were left in her. At least she had a good reason to do it to him. But this…this was just torture. He was about to step in, but Esme beat him to it.
"You don't need to do that. She'll tell you anything you want to know" she said.
Jane stopped and looked at Esme coldly. "I know".
Felix had to work hard to suppress a growl. The girl was still on the ground writhing. But she managed to fight through the pain enough to answer.
"I don't know! Riley wouldn't tell us. He said our thoughts weren't safe".
"Her name was Victoria" Edward told Jane, "Perhaps you knew her".
"Edward…if the Volturi had knowledge of Victoria they would've stopped her. Isn't that right, Jane?"
Jane stared for a moment before answering. "Of course".
A lie…Felix growled softly. And to think he had to go along with that. He looked at the girl on the ground before them and she looked back up at him, a little pleading in her eyes. She was pleading with him for her life. It was a shame that he would have to end her. He made a promise to himself that he'd make it as quick and painless as he could for her. She had endured enough because of Jane.
"Felix" speak of the devil she addressed him. He stepped up to do his job.
"She didn't know what she was doing" Esme proclaimed, "We'll take full responsibility for her".
"Give her a chance" Carlisle said.
"The Volturi don't give second chances. Keep that in mind. Caius will be interested to know that she's still human" Jane replied.
"The date is set" Bella replied, looking a little scared herself.
All the while Felix stared down at the girl. She was so small, but she had a strength that he admired. She was trying to get up and she succeeded with little effort. Jane looked surprised.
"Well now, look at this. The Young One manages to stand after all that. I'm shocked. No one has ever been able to stand up so quickly after what I just did to you. Impressive…but not enough. Felix, take care of that. I'd like to go home".
He stepped up, and she began to get even more scared. He saw the fear in her eyes and then…it was like he was pushed away from her. Bree looked confused. How did that happen? Did she do that? How did she manage to move him away from her? The Volturi even looked confused.
"How did you do that?" Jane demanded.
"Jane stop asking all those damn questions! God, I'm shocked you haven't caught on yet!" Felix got up and stood next to Jane.
"Caught on to what exactly?"
"The girl…she has a power…Telekinesis…she moved me with just her mind".
"You're not serious?" Jane growled.
"I'll prove it" Felix looked at Bree, "Don't be scared. I'm not gonna hurt you, just gonna prove a point. Relax".
Bree calmed herself as Felix made his way toward her. Unlike the first time he tried to approach her, he wasn't repelled from her. When he was next to her, he looked at Jane.
"See? Aro might want this".
"Telekinesis…have you ever been able to do this before?" Jane asked.
"No…that was my first time".
"She needs to be trained. Who else better to train her than us?" Carlisle took a chance.
"No…not this time. It appears you're going to have a whole house soon. I wouldn't want you to be over crowded Carlisle. Give the girl to us. We'll see what we can do with her" Jane took her own chance against him.
Carlisle looked at Bree and then Felix. The huge vampire nodded at him, ensuring her safety in his mind. He'd keep her safe as long as he could. Carlisle looked back at Jane.
"Very well. I'm depending on either Aro himself or Felix here to tell me what happens".
"We'll make sure to tell you" Jane looked at Bree, "Come…now…unless you want another dose of pain".
Bree took a step forward and then looked at Felix. He nodded reassuringly at her. She sighed heavily and followed after Jane, Alec, and Demetri. Felix stayed by her side. He wasn't going to let her escape or let the others hurt her or even leave her behind. He'd look after her, as promised.
Bree closed her eyes tightly. "Please…please help me through this" she begged in her mind.
She couldn't help but wonder what she had gotten herself into now.
