A/N: This is my very first fan fiction that I've uploaded. I've already written a few but have been absolutely terrified at how mean some people can be with the reviews so go easy on me. I hope you enjoy and constructive criticism is always welcome!

Chapter 1

Bella's POV

I've been walking through the streets of Volterra for a few hours. Okay, fine I'm lost. My parents are fighting again and I don't want to be stuck in the middle of it again. I'm eleven years old and I can take care of myself. I didn't realize I was so lost in my thoughts until I saw a dark figure walking up the street and coming right for me.

"What are you doing here?" the person asked in a low, feminine voice. I choked up a bit but managed to respond.

"Walking. What are you doing?" I shot back, trying to seem casual. I felt like my throat was closing and it was getting hard to breathe. That always happened when I get scared.

"You shouldn't be out here alone. What's your name?" the person questioned again and lifted her hand to remove her hood. The hood fell around a gorgeous blond with red eyes. She looked like a Greek Goddess. I looked into the crimson eyes and I instantly felt safe and protected. I knew I could trust this person.

"Isa-Isabella but I prefer Bella" I stumble and felt my face go red. I saw the girl smile and nod her head like she was thinking about something. "I'm Jane. Where are your parents, Bella?" She asked with slight concern like any person would.

"At home," I said and looked at my feet, "I ran away"

"That's a shame. It's also a shame you meant me here" She said and grinned, reaching for my shoulder. I know I should pull back and run. The logical side of me was screaming at me to run, that she was dangerous but I couldn't run for some reason. I let her touch my shoulder and felt something like electricity race through me. I knew she felt it too because she jumped back with a very confused face.

"Why don't you come with me? I won't hurt you. I would like to show you my home" Jane said softly "I live in a castle" she whispered the last part and that definitely got my attention. She took my hand and lead me to what I assume was the way to the castle she lived in.

Jane's POV

I was pissed off and slightly hungry so I went hunting. I searched the streets for someone to drink that didn't smell half bad and I picked up a pretty good scent but for some reason it didn't increase the burning in my throat like it should. Curiosity got the best of me and I followed the scent. I found who it belonged to and she looked like she was alone. That bothered me for some reason. Why would she walk alone at this time of night? She couldn't be older than twelve. What if someone hurt her or worse? I felt myself slip into a weird protective state when I thought about what could happen to the young girl.

I dropped down to the streets from the rooftops and started walking. I made sure the human girl couldn't see me when I dropped from the rooftops so I didn't scare her. Why am I acting like this? I am Jane Volturi! I am the most dangerous vampire next to the kings! I should not be acting like this!

I was shouting at myself to stop acting this way and investigate. I wanted to see what was up with the girl.

I got closer and almost stopped when I saw her. She was so beautiful and smelled so good but the burn didn't increase...it decreased when I took a deep breath of her scent. What is this girl doing to me?

"What are you doing here?" I asked in a threatening tone. The girl had to be scared by me. No one wasn't, vampire or not.

I saw the girl struggle with words and smiled internally. Good, she should be scared. I tried to shake the weird feeling off again and was brought back to reality by her voice. "Walking. What are you doing here?" she said. I could tell she was trying very hard to act confident and casual. She was being so stupid! Couldn't she see I'm a threat!

I decided to ignore her question because the answer would probably be something likes 'about to kill you' or 'deciding how to kill you' but I didn't want to scare her off too early. Instead I asked another question and removed my hood while I did it. "You shouldn't be here alone. What's your name?" I asked and studied her reaction to my face, more specifically my eyes. I saw her stumble and stare in awe. She, again, stumbled with her words and gave me her name.

"I'm Jane. Where are your parents?" I asked with certain softness

"At home" She said and looked down. I wanted to lift her head up to have her meet my eyes. What is happening to me? This stupid girl is doing things to me! I should kill her!

I tried to make myself to sink my teeth into her or say something threatening but once I said something threatening I felt the overwhelming urge to protect her at all costs. I reached out a touched her, feeling electricity bolt through my arm

"Why don't you come with me? I won't hurt you. I would like to show you my home" I said with a tone I wasn't familiar with. "I live in a castle" I whispered and saw that that bit of information caught her attention. I started walking to the castle with the human girl, Isabella following.

Bella's POV

I walked with Jane until we reached a set of very heavy looking doors but Jane pushed them open with ease. Through the doors was a beautiful circular room with three thrones and three old men sitting in them. They all looked confused. I glanced around the room and saw five other people standing in the small alcoves along the room, they also looked very confused.

"Jane?" The man in the center throne asked, his eyes flicking between me and Jane.

"Master, I-" She began but stopped and looked at me then around the room at the other people until she sighed and settled on one. "Felix will you take Bella to my room and make sure she stays there until I come and get her" Jane commanded more than asked. I saw a big man who looked about twenty moves from the edge of the room to the center and stood in front of me with his hand held out for me to take. Jane let out a hiss and narrowed her eyes at Felix.

"If anything happens to her I will have your head, understood?" She asked and glared at the man whose eyes widened and he nodded quickly and I took his hand. I followed the big man out of the room. After a few minutes of walking I looked up at him and he looked down at me with a small smile.

"Will you be my big brother?" I asked innocently. I've always wanted a big brother and he just seemed like the right guy. I felt like I could trust him, like he would protect me like Jane.

"If you want" He said and smiled a bit more before looking up and opening a door for me. I stepped into a beautiful room. It had a huge bed pushed to the center of the back room and the whole room had a theme of black and red. There was a desk to the side of the bed that had a laptop and a whole bunch of books on it. It also had a big flat screen and a very comfy couch and a few arm chairs. There were a few wall decorations scattered through the room.

I went to the couch and sat down, taking in Jane's room. Felix sat in a chair with his elbows on his knees and his hands clasped, looking rather anxious.

"What's wrong?" I ask and tilted my head.

"Nothing's wrong Isabella" Felix replied without a lot of conviction.

"Is this about Jane hurting you? I won't let her. You're my brother!" I said and got up from the couch to give him a hug but felt arms around me. I looked back to see Jane holding me to herself and glaring at Felix

"Brother?" Jane said with a very icy, fierce tone. Before Felix could answer he was dropped to the ground and was screaming in agony.

"She's mine!" Jane roared and glared even more intensely which made Felix scream louder. I was very confused.

"Jane stop!" I shouted and turned to bury my face in her shoulder. Felix's screams stopped immediately and I looked at him. He was standing and breathing heavily.

"Bella we need to talk about something" Jane stated and then looked at Felix. "You have a role in this so you will stay while we talk" Felix nodded and sat back down in the chair. Jane put her arms around me and put me back into her chest. She took a deep breath and began.

"Isabella, I'm a vampire and so is Felix. Almost everyone in this castle is a vampire. We do drink human blood which makes our eyes red. We have super speed and strength. Some of us have gifts or powers. Felix is very strong, the strongest vampire in the world. I have a power which makes vampires feel like they're burning from the inside out" She paused and out her nose to my hair, breathing deeply, that's when it hit me.

"Are you going to kill me?" I asked quietly and heard two hisses. One from Felix and one from Jane.

"I was getting to that. No we aren't going to kill or hurt you. No one will ever hurt you from now on if we have anything to do with it." Jane said with the last part as a whisper. "Vampires have a few bonds that might affect us. There's the parent bond which is when two mated vampires have a bond with a human or another vampire that makes them feel like the child is theirs. They protect and teach the child everything and anything. There's the sibling bond, you have one with Felix, which makes either two vampires or a vampire and a human feel like they're sibling. Then there's the mating bond. Each person has someone who is made for them. When someone becomes a vampire, their main life goal is to find their mate. Being mated with someone gives the vampire or vampires meaning in life and being rejected by their mate or rejecting any bond will hurt the vampire or vampires forever. They will protect their mate no matter what. They can't leave each other and they will do anything and everything for their mate. You are my mate."

That's a lot of information to give an eleven year old. I sighed and sank into Jane's chest. I looked up at Felix who had a very concerned look on his face.

"Okay, so, you're my brother and a vampire?" I ask him skeptically. He nodded his head. "That's cool. I've always wanted a big brother." I slide off of Jane's lap which caused her to growl. I froze and looked back at her. Last time she growled, my brother ended up screaming in pain.

"Sorry" Jane mumbled and dropped her head. I shrugged my shoulders and leaped into Felix's lap. I felt protected and loved when he wrapped his arms around me but not the same love I felt when Jane did the same thing. My thoughts got caught up when I felt Felix vibrating from beneath me. I think he's purring like a kitty cat. I laughed and got up from his lap.

"Felix, I need to speak with Bella alone. I believe you are needed in the throne room" Jane said. Felix got up, kissed my forehead and was out the door in second. Jane groaned, covered her eyes then got up and lay down on the bed. She sighed and uncovered her eyes. I walked over to the bed and climbed on. I sat on the end with my legs crossed.

"What's wrong?" I ask. Jane pulled me into her lap then lay back down again. She started purring just like Felix.

"There are a million things wrong but nothing wrong in this moment." Jane whispered and tightened her arms around me.

"Will you tell me more about vampires?" I asked and snuggled into her side.

"Of course. We sparkle when we're in direct sunlight. We don't burn like the stereotype. We have laws, which I will teach you later. We have three kings. Aro, Marcus and Caius which you will meet soon and we live forever" Jane trailed off and seemed to be lost in thought.

"Will you make me a vampire someday?" I asked curiously.

"Not right now but someday. You need to be a lot older" Jane said and moved to lie on her side so she was facing me, "Isabella, you are my mate. I need you to accept that. There's this pull I feel towards you that you can't imagine. You will begin to feel it when you're in your late teens but it's nothing compared to what I'm feeling now" She said softly and reach her hand up, gently caressing my face, "Now go to sleep. We'll meet everyone we need to meet tomorrow. Felix is very eager to get to know you, so am I" Jane said softly and stroked my hair. I could get used to this.
