Hey everyone here is other story for ya'll! I know, I know, I should finish the one's I've already started but I can't help it- I love to write.

So this story is an Alec/OC story and the reason I started writing it is because I've been reading a lot of Alec/OC stories and I just couldn't find one, finished, that I really, really loved. Anyway- here is Hidden Lives...


Prologue

"Keep up girl" A woman with dark brown hair called down the ancient corridor.

"Yes Mama." The girl with short, white hair answered, her voice timid, not wanting to anger her mother.

"Honestly child, it's days like today I wonder why we haven't killed you already." The childs mother said with a straight face, proving she was not joking.

They were on a free tour around Volterra with the childs three older siblings and their father. She should have been happy that she was on holiday, away from the town, for however long, that called her names and threw rocks, but she wasn't- she was still trapped, still locked away.

She wasn't listening to the tour guide as she lead the family, and a few others, through the darkened hallway of Volterra castle, she knew something bad was about to happen, she could sense it.

She also knew that, even if her family would believe her, it was too late. The tour group were lead into a large, round room and the girl knew this was it.

The doors closing behind the young girl was an onimous sign, it was too late- the screaming had already started.

She stood, motionless, her back to the door, watching with joy in her eyes as the family who had always hated her died before her very eyes.

She didn't care. They never cared about her, no one did, so why should she pretend she loved them? That she wasn't happy they were gone.

The killing lasted only a few minutes, but no one seemed to have seen the girl.

She didn't care if she died, she had nothing to live for, but they hadn't seen her, they couldn't, why?

"Thank you Heidi, delectable as always." A man with silky, black hair said, wiping a little leftover blood of his mouth with his fingertip.

"Thank you Master." The woman who had brought the girl and her family to this slaughter said, bowing slightly.

The girl thought this was as good a time as any to make herself known, knowing they would find her eventutally.

She stepped away from the door and all heads snapped in her direction.

"Well well well." The man Heidi had called Master said, "What do we have here?"

"How did we not detect her sooner?" A man with greasy, white hair asked, a sneer in his voice.

"I do not know brother." The first man said before he turned to the girl. "Hello dear, I'm Aro. These are my brothers, Marcus and Caius." He pointed first to a bored looking brown haired man on his right and then to the white haired man, who was on his left.

"Who are you? And how did you get in here? How did we not see you before?" Aro inquired.

"I was in the tour group, I knew something bad would happen, I could feel it. I stayed by the door." She said, ignoring his first question for now. She looked at her mother, now a deathly, pale white. "They're dead, aren't they."

"Yes my dear." Aro said in a solemnly, I doubt any of them where expecting the wide grin that emerged on the young child's face.

"Good." She said, moving forword with surprising grace to kneel down next to the woman she once called 'mother' as her family's killers looked on with rapit interest.

"Look Mama, you were wrong." She said, her hand going to behind her mothers neck to retreve something she had long since been denied.

She carefully uncliped the necklace that would help her control her curse, placing it around her own neck before she whispered in her mothers ear. "I didn't die first."

There was a silent gasp throughout the room as everyone wondered just what this child of barely ten had been through to make her so cold.

She stood up and looked straight at Aro and said two words that would change what would happen to her. "Thank you."

"What for my dear?" Aro asked, intrigued by this little child who acted so much older then she was.

"For freeing me." She said simply.

Aro wanted to know what had happened to the girl so he extended his hand to the girl but when she hesitantly took it he saw nothing.

He barely kept the surprise from his voice as he said, "Interesting" before letting her hand go.

"You will stay here and work for us." Aro decided, planning on observing her and turning her when she matured, knowing her gift would be very useful to him.

"Ok." She said. She had no where else to go and could see herself one day being happy here, even if it took awhile to get there.

Everyone seemed shocked by not only Aro's decision but also of the girls quick acceptence, thinking she would have put up some kind of resistance.

"What's your name?" Marcus asked in a bored tone that had only the tiniest hint of wonder and interest.

"Keya." The girl answered, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
