Chapter 1: Volterra

A Vampire stood in the Palazze dei Priori, his sky blue eyes averted to the bright moon in the sky, which illuminated the whole Plaza around him. He closed his eyes and concentrated on the memories of when he had last been there, so many hundreds of years ago. Images of medieval armor came to his mind—there had been a war, but between who was unclear. Men carried swords and crossbows and their shields held a gothic cross upon it. His memories were shattered, torn, and piecing them together had grown difficult in his vast years of immortality. Only one thing was clear to him, this very Plaza, Palazze dei Priori, was the memory farthest back that he could remember. His life before eternal damnation was forgotten.

Any hopes of remembrance lay within these cities walls.

Jane stood atop the tallest tower and extended her head back, allowing the full moon to illuminate her pale skin. She closed her eyes and reminisced on memories of her previous started to fill her but she fought it, there was no point in arousing emotions—she couldn't change her past. She opened her bright crimson eyes and looked up at the moon. It was absolutely beautiful.

Suddenly, she sensed an unusual presence within the Palazze dei Priori. She couldn't put her finger on it but she knew that something was in the city. She draped her cape over her shoulders, placed the large hood over her hair and departed from the tower. She moved with grace and swiftness through the cities walkways, careful not to draw any attention to herself from the human guards. Not that it was possible, but she was always extra careful—always for Aro, because he always asked it of her.

"Be careful, my child." He had asked of her earlier. Jane half smiled, it always pleased her to know that Aro cared deeply for her well-being, enough to remind her every time she left the coven.

As she approached the clock tower, she felt the presence growing stronger. She had never known a presence like this one and her curiosity was overwhelming her. She wondered who it was; or more so, what it was.

She needn't gone far for suddenly, she saw a man standing there within the center of the Palazze dei Priori, standing ever so still. But it wasn't a man, she was now sure of it for he had no pulse. It wasn't a werewolf either, she was sure of that, too; werewolves carried pulses, as they are half human.

Before she could take any step closer, the man turned around and looked at her. He had bright sky blue eyes and they were far too perfect to be human. He cocked his head and eyed her up and down and Jane did not like, not one bit. It made her feel defensive and she didn't feel any reason to be. She was, after all, able to put him in his place simply with one thought. Her overconfidence allowed her to stand tall and arch her eyebrows.

"What brings you to Volterra?" Jane asked. She was instructed to always bring visiting vampires straight to Aro. She assumed this was why he was here, but it was odd—he was unlike any vampire she had ever encountered. Then again, what did she know? She had been living with the Volturri in Volterra ever since she had become a Vampire, so her experience with those who lived outside was slim.

"Answers." He said. His voice was harsh. As he stepped towards her, she was able to get a better look at him. He was wearing a long black cloak and had dark silver hair, which complimented his light blue eyes. Jane couldn't take her eyes off of his; she didn't want to seem rude but she had never seen a vampire with blue eyes. She desperately wanted to ask but she wouldn't know what to say, besides she was way out of line to question a guest and she would simply ask Aro later.

"Come with me." She said and guided him towards the coven. Dawn was coming soon and she felt an urgency to get the both of them to the Coven before the sun rose over the horizon.

They walked swiftly through the stone corridors and it didn't take long before they found themselves in the large room, which acted as a reception area. Instead of the usual assistant, Gianna, behind the desk sat Jane's twin brother, Alec.

"You're back early." Alec said, he clearly hadn't glanced at the guest that Jane had brought with her.

"Can you notify Aro of our guest," Jane said, appalled that her brother did not acknowledge the man she stood next to, "it is a matter of urgency."

Alec looked up at the man and Jane could see the surprise in his face. Alec had clearly stared in to the strangers' eyes and seen the unusual color. Jane watched as he quickly went to the back and through the large doors. Though she loved her brother, she couldn't deny that he lacked a level of class that she prided in having, herself.

The man, all the while said nothing. He seemed absolutely calm and when she looked up at him, he smiled—revealing large canines. Jane's brows furrowed in curiosity. She had never met a vampire with such large canines. What….was he?

At that moment, Aro appeared. His hands were extended out as he bellowed a welcome through the door. Jane saw Aro bear a happy and curious expression on his face, like he always did at the news of a vampire visiting the coven. It was always enjoyable for Aro to host guests in Volterra and enjoy their company. Jane couldn't blame him; she herself liked visitors too.

Aro's facial expressions suddenly changed as he approached the stranger. Jane had never seen Aro bear a frown and she wasn't sure what this meant, but she was on the defensive now incase Aro needed her to take action. It was, after all, her greatest honor and pride to protect her Coven.

"You must be the leader of the Coven," he said.

"I am," Aro said and he looked at Jane from the corner of his eyes, glaring with a very serious expression. It was unlike Aro to look at her like that and anger was building within her at the stranger, for causing such turmoil with her Coven.

The stranger growled a laugh and took a few steps forward. "I've never known a Coven to be in Volterra. Then again, I haven't returned in….years." At the last word, the man smiled and Aro couldn't help but glance at his large canines.

Half fascinated, Aro couldn't help but ask: "What are you?"

"What am I?" the stranger laughed at the question and the large canines were exposed between the growled laughs.

Jane did not like the stranger. Aro could feel Jane's hostility and gave her a look as in to calm down before she used her powers against the stranger. Jane would have had him writhing in pain for daring to laugh at Aro. She shot a look at her brother who was near the back door, protecting the Coven. Her expression was clear and Alec knew exactly what her twin was asking of her, even without words—she was saying to grab the rest of the Coven, in case anything went down.

"Surely you are jesting," the stranger said. He thought the question seemed absurd but then again, perhaps the intent was to ask which Coven he belonged to. In that case, there was no question to that, he had been part of the original Coven, all the way back from the time where all three of the elders were awake. He smiled and decided to make a joke of it, "My dear boy, I was damned before you had been born into humanity."

Jane had enough of the stranger and concentrated with all her might to bring about the most excruciating pain ever—to her dismay, the stranger did not move. She was absolutely confused and concentrated harder, but alas, no avail. Aro could see her efforts and he glanced back and fourth between the smiling stranger and his dear Jane, whose face was contorted in such effort.

Just then, Macus and Caius walk through the doors followed by Alec. Aro looked at the stranger and saw that he was no longer smiling, but rather his expression turned very serious—as if he was thinking far too hard.

The blue-eyed vampire looked at the oldest looking vampire coming towards them, there was something so familiar about him—but what was it? Then, it struck him, out of nowhere, and all of the memories flooded his mind—as if this vampire had been the key to unlocking his deep subconscious.

He had been the one, the exterminator.

Suddenly, the stranger leaped in to the air and landed gracefully, taking Marcus' neck in to his large arms. He could hear the blonde haired one scream "Jane!" but whatever that should do, nothing came of it. Marcus tried with all his might to shake off the strangers grasp, but he was too strong and his grip too hard. It was clear to Marcus that this vampire was far stronger than he.

"You killed my family," the stranger whispered in to Marcus' ear. All of the Volturi heard what the stranger had said, due to their acute sense of hearing, but his statement had no meaning to them—this stranger was going to die by their hands.

The room became illuminated as the sunlight began pouring in through the large windows above. The sudden light caused his bright blue eyes to glow. Before the Volturi leaped out to the stranger, he threw Marcus high in to the air and he landed in the range of the sunlight.

The Volturi leaped out and grabbed the stranger who stood in complete shock as he watched Marcus' skin glitter from the sunlight.

"What are you?" the stranger asked the sparkling Marcus. "You are not my kind."

"Bring him to me," Marcus addressed Caius and Alec, who held him between their grips.

As they stepped forward, bringing him in to the light of day where Marcus stood—the stranger screamed out in agony as his face began to burn under the sun's rays.
