Summary: Gianna lives under the roof of her very successful parents. After she gets accepted into a college in the city of Volterra, Gianna and her best friend, Elena, pack and leave. Once there Gianna and Elena start noticing strange things, weird disappearances, a horde of red eyes, and of course, the high population of beautiful people. What happens when Gianna and Elena get in a little too much over their heads? What happens when they discover a secret that should have stayed buried?

A/N: I thought people would enjoy a breath of fresh air away from the Edward and Bella story. Oh who am I kidding? I love reading about Edward and Bella…everyone loves reading about Edward and Bella. But I was reading NEW MOON for the thousandth time and I saw a great story opportunity and went with it. This is a story about Gianna, the secretary that worked for the Volturi from NEW MOON. Weeee. Here we go. I'm so excited. Please remember to review!!

Prologue:

MY BARE FEET POUNDED HARD AGAINST THE STONE STREET OF THE LONG AND DARK ALLEYWAY, disrupting the silence with the steady sound of slap, slap, slap. I was running, running as fast as my long legs would carry me, pushing myself farther when my quadriceps screamed in pain and resentment. I broke free of the shady street and sprinted for the bright and overcrowded town square.

I continued to pump my legs towards my unknown destination, not chancing a backwards glance as I wove skillfully through the mob of staring, curious humans, popping out of nowhere right and left. I didn't know where I was going and I didn't care. Just as long I was as far away from this…city as possible.

I ducked below an obvious male tourist's extended arm as he offered his screaming child a half melted ice cream cone. The camera around his neck swung wildly as he rolled to the side, successfully avoiding contact with me and dropping his ice cream in the process.

Human.

The word itself rolled of my tongue bizarrely, like I was puking it up instead of verbalizing it. It seemed a funny to say since I was a human myself, but how I longed to be so much more, a longing that would never be assuaged. I never thought I would be running away from the one thing I wanted most, but when it comes to life or death, I guess your priorities change. I'd rather accept my existence as a meager human than be stuck rotting in a narrow box six feet under.



A/N: So how did you like it? Review and I will love you forever.
