The vampire found her voice just as the rest of the humans were herded into the club. The crowd moved as one now. Her voice sped up a little, becoming more aggressive as the beat did. The horde of people followed suit, bending to her will as she weaved her music into their thoughts. Controlling them, manipulating them. She smirked down at them as they danced, oblivious to the danger approaching them from deeper within the shadows of the club.

More of her kind began entering the room, feeling the change in their prey as Mary worked her gift to their advantage. It was a game for them. Lure the humans into the club then Mary would work them into a complacent dream-like state. Then they would feed. No one would try to escape or even acknowledge what was going on. They're minds were no longer their own.

Soon her fun was over however, as she noticed a young blonde vampire enter the room. She wore the traditional darkly themed robes of the Volturi guard, and her emotionless eyes were red as she peered up at Mary from across the room.

"It's time." The blonde said, then turned to leave.

"Nice to see you too Jane." She replied as she hopped off the stage. She could hear the results of her mind control being released as she made her way through the throngs of vampires and humans. No longer were they…complacent. She chuckled once she was finally outside. Oh well. She thought sadistically, still listening absent-mindedly to the muffled screams coming through the galvanized doors. Jane stood a little ways away, watching her with an annoyed expression. Probably for 'wasting her time further' as Jane would no doubt say.

"So, it's been 2 weeks already? Time just flies these days…" Jane only glared at her and replied simply with a "yes." Then turned her back to Mary again and headed down the alley to the Volturi's sewer entrance. Mary followed close behind her. Jane was always in a mood but she seemed even more so tonight. The fact that she wasn't berating her verbally told her as much. "Jane, did something happen during Alecs shift?" Jane was silent for a moment. "She managed to break through his Illusion for a moment. Aro actually seems pleased that his little 'pet' is becoming more powerful." She spat the words out like they were trash. "It is a good thing though, right?" Mary fell into step beside Jane now. Things were getting interesting it seemed.

Jane looked at her as if she grew an extra head upon saying those words. "Oh yes, it's a great thing. Until we can no longer restrain her and she rips the Volturi a new asshole. Other than that, its great." She said sarcastically then turned her attention ahead of them. Mary burst out laughing at that. She couldn't help it. She knew Jane was right, but Aro seemed to think he would be able to train the girl, so she would trust in Aros judgment, as always. They were in the hall leading down to the dungeons now. "I'm glad you find this all so very amusing Mary." Mary smiled "Me too, otherwise I'd probably be scared." She laughed again, but stopped when they stepped into the room and saw Alec. He was rigid in his seat in front of the darkened cell. His eyes were black as night, and his entire frame strained to keep control over his charge. As she walked closer she could make out the silhouette of the girl in the cell. She appeared to be sleeping peacefully, the result of Alecs gift. Suddenly she didn't look quite so peaceful and Mary knew immediately that Jane was also using her gift, along with Alec. He seemed to relax a little.

"Mary, I'll be joining you for your shift. Aro doesn't think you'll be able to handle her much longer." Jane smirked a little but didn't take her eyes off the girl. Mary only scowled and sat beside Jane. Alec released his control over the girl and her eyes snapped open, managing to startle Mary. She had never really seen how the newborn reacted to Jane's power alone. It wasn't what she had expected. She knew about the girls abilities, or as much about them as anyone else did, but she'd never seen them in action but once. Right now the girl looked like she was trying to use them through the pain Jane was inflicting on her. Her eyes gave her away. They would glow fluorescent silver every few seconds then fade back to red just as quickly. She couldn't grasp onto her powers long enough to actually use them it seemed. Not being able to move also seemed to be a problem for her. Mary remembered vaguely the day she was brought in. The girl was still human for the most part.

Mary had found her blood exceptionally hard to resist as she watched the girl from the shadows of a building. The human thought no one was watching as she lifted her hand into the air, cradling a small leaf that she had picked up off the ground. A faint glow surrounded the leaf before it began to shudder and then shift into something else. Seconds later, she was no longer holding a leaf, and instead she held in her hand a small white lotus flower in full bloom. Mary decided that whatever her power was, Aro would surely be pleased with her for bringing her back. So she did. The girl was two days into her transformation when her pale blue eyes began to change into that strange silvery color. Aro was ecstatic, of course. Such an anomaly amongst vampires was unheard of even to him. He had mentioned the oh so famous Cullen 'family' as he stared into her eerily glowing eyes, saying that their eyes were gold, but only because of their diet which consisted only of animal blood. Ridiculous. That's when her powers began to show themselves. It caught everyone off guard, especially Aro…

"Fascinating isn't she?" Aro asked to no one in particular as he gazed into her unseeing silver eyes. Those eyes that were not as unseeing as everyone thought. Moments later they glowed brighter and a growl erupted from the girl on the marble 'bed' they had placed her on for her transformation. Silver eyes never left Aro as her pale slender arm shot out to him, sending him flying into the wall opposite her, without so much as touching him. Her hands glowed with that strange essence that Mary had seen her use as a human. No longer was she on the table. Felix was on her immediately, trying to actually get a hold on her as she weaved in and out of his grasp with the speed of a newborn vampire. He growled in frustration as she continued to evade him. She turned suddenly, eye's connecting with Mary's, who was watching the scene unfold next to the now standing Aro. He was grinning as he looked on. Mary simply stood caught in her gaze. The girl's eyes were red as they should have been, but once Felix was right behind her they glowed silver once again. And time seemed to slow around them. Her eyes were still on Mary as her body began to glow and shudder in and out of clarity. Then she was gone. No, she was behind Felix. One hand pressed to his back and he froze. Then fire. Felix was engulfed in flames. And then he was gone, not even ashes on the ground to show he ever existed. Then she was fading again, she was directly in front of Mary, her head tilted in a curious manner. "Who am I?" she spoke in a soft voice. After a seconds hesitation, Mary spoke what she knew too be true above all else. "You're dead." She had said just before Alec entered with Jane and upon Aro's command she was unconscious.

"Why is she conscious? Shouldn't she at least be doubled over in pain?" Mary asked, still not projecting her mind onto the newborn in the cell. Jane scowled again, apparently catching her subtle insinuation that her powers weren't working as well on her either. "Why are you just standing there watching, hm?" Jane asked harshly, "Shouldn't you be turning her into a puppet or whatever it is you do?" Mary sighed and began to focus the 'tendrils' of her mind out towards the immobile vampire. As she touched the others mind she began to create the illusion of time freezing for the newborn. The girls eyes dimmed back to red as Mary continued to manipulate her thoughts into thinking and feeling what she wanted her to. Normally she would project her entire mind into the other vampire, leaving her body behind her in order to completely control the other. This would require she feel what the girl was feeling however and she had no desire to endure Jane's 'gift'.

"I prefer the term marionette. See it fits since my name is Mary. Kind of like how 'Pain' rhymes with 'Jane'." Jane scoffed at that. " That's just coincidence. It's not the same." She replied, not amused. "It is kind of catchy though, don't you think Jane?" Mary grinned, " Jane's Pain…Mary and the Marionettes." She chuckled a little.

Jane grimaced. " You annoy me." She deadpanned. This caused Mary to laugh loudly, momentarily breaking her connection with the newborn. Jane cringed visibly as the newborns eyes lit up once again. They didn't flicker this time. Jane began to shake under the pressure of restraining her alone. The girl spoke suddenly causing both of her keepers to gasp audibly. Mary hissed, trying to grasp onto the girls mind again, but her own words being echoed from the newborns mouth had her panicking slightly, unable to concentrate as it repeated in her mind…

"You're dead."
