I always thought the the Volturi had to have other humans under their wings, to take care of business relations with the outside human world such as bankers, politicians, and maybe a businessman or such. So I decided to make a story about them.

The bright mid noon sun shown high in the sky as they pasted the castle of Volterra, its large turrets and towers casted shadows among the city and the funeral procession like a hand of death trying to take the souls of those in mourning. Lorenzo Mortezo itself looked up and stared at the vast castle that surrounded the city and let out a sigh and then closed his eyes. Many knew of him, he was a very powerful businessman and whose family linage was as ancient as the city of Volterra itself and right now heartache and hatred was burning through his veins, and he knew that when the twilight came in that castle is where he would go to get the much needed vengeance, but right now he just followed behind the horse drawn hearse of his beloved wife. Feeling a slight squeeze in his hand he looked down and gave a slight smile to his tiny daughter as she held onto him for dear life. She was no more than 5 yrs of age, still an age of innocence, an innocents that had left after that faithful night three days prior, when his wife was brutally murdered in their home and his own daughter was the soul witness. His little Inara the only witness to her mother's death, had not said a word since that night, he remembered how he and his guards found her huddled in the corner of the master bedroom covered in her mother's blood staring at the window as if it the horrible monster that came and took her mother would come to take away its only witness, she never let out a scream in terror. The light in his Inara's eyes went out the day her mother was taken from her and just like the bloodlust came to life in his. He made a pact that the monster who took his beloved from him would pay greatly and he knew that going to the castle would be just what he needed to get it. His family made a pact with the devil many centuries ago and that pact was still withstanding to this day, the reason why his family is still as powerful and fortunate as it has been. Now he would go see the devil to cash in on the work his family has brought to him, but the devil would meet the one thing he didn't want them to know about his daughter, but she was the key to getting the vengeance that was required.

Twilight………

Looking up as the castle doors open to let them in, Lorenzo made his guards stay in the car as he picked up his precious Inara out of the backseat, she just let out a sigh and looked up at the building with keen interest, but not the way she would have if was only three days prior, before that day she would have asked several questions, but she would never step foot in this castle if those events didn't take place, his daughter was an angel and she was about to meet the devil. His footsteps echoed on the stone floors as he entered the building and met by two individuals who haven't changed since the day he met them no more than twenty years before.

"Demetri…Felix" nodding his head to each as he looked at both acknowledging their presents "You know why I'm here."

"Yes we do Lorenzo…Aro has told us to come and bring you to the meeting room…so please" stated Demetri in his slight British accent and sway of his hand over to the elevator "follow us" only glancing briefly at the child in the Lorenzo's arms, who was squeezing her father in a vice grip and hiding her face in his jacket. The entire trip to the meeting room was quiet except for the quiet footfalls of Lorenzo and the slight breathing of Inara. The giant doors opened and there he was the devil himself and his 2 other minions sitting on top of their thrones like royalty. In a matter of speaking they were to their own kind. Surrounded by his guards and others of his kind all looking at Lorenzo with a look of distaste and boredom.

"AHHHHH Lorenzo how nice to see you again of course not on the best of circumstances, I'm sorry to hear about dear Sophia such a beautiful woman even for her….status" stated the man whose hair so dark it looked like black writing ink, stood up from his throne "But I see that your dear Inara is safe and is quiet beautiful herself I must add" giving a quick glance of the child that Lorenzo now squeezed out of a fatherly protection.

"You know why I'm here Aro….I want vengeance for my wife and you know as well as I that my family has been working for your…cause for centuries and never have asked for anything in return." His voice shaken as he spoke to the man "now I ask for you to find the person who did this and rid of him, we both know it wasn't a human who did this to my Sophie and I want him taken care of under your laws" the word laws echoed through the meeting chamber.

"Of course Lorenzo your family has been assisting us for so long it is time we return the favor, but how do you suppose we find out the culprit of this murder of your wife and how do we know it was one of our kind to have done it?" a smile coming upon his face as he took a step closer to Lorenzo and Inara.

"Red eyes" was a whisper that was barely audible to human ears "red eyes papa" as the tiny voice of Inara quietly spoke as she looked up into her father's face, the first words she had spoken since that faithful night.

"Ah I see your daughter is the witness, well now that might help out greatly" as Aro took the final step in front of Lorenzo. "Well then let's find out what this little angel knows and then we will take care of it." With a smirk he looked at the tiny girl in Lorenzo's arms and looked at her with keen interest, she definitely took after her mother in looks, pale skin that contained dark green eyes that probably held a light of innocents in them that has been since extinguish due to what she has witness surrounded by slight blondish brown hair that had a light baby like curl to it. Taking in what he saw a slight smile held on his lips as he spoke "Little angel I know you have seen something that must be shown and someone to take the monster away that hurt your mommy?" looking at the girl as she shivered under his stare causing her father to hold her tighter "now I can help you find the monster who did this thing, but I need to you to let me have your hand..I promise it won't hurt a bit"

Inara looked at the man with dark red eyes out of fear and all those who surrounded him, he reminded her of the monster who took her mommy from her, but she knew that her daddy trusted this man so she only nodded out of fear and held her trembling hand out to him. As the man in black touched her skin she let out of shiver of the fact it felt like ice, like when the cook would take meat out of the freezer before it was cooked, his hand felt like that. Then suddenly as fast as his hand was in hers it was gone.

"Well well very interesting…it seems we have a little bit of a newborn problem in our mists I guess this needs to be fixed" giving Lorenzo a nod and addressing the rest in the room "It looks like we will be having a little visit to Naples very soon to take care of it and Lorenzo don't worry your wife's murderer will be given his justice and if you want I can throw in a little torture from our dear Jane if you want?" giving an evil smirk, making Lorenzo nod. "Well then I will send you a message when the deed is done and you will continue to do your job."

"Yes sir" was all Lorenzo could say as he started to turn to leave the den of the Devil before Aro's voice echoed through the chamber.

"Oh and Lorenzo I hope you bring your daughter by when she is older, there is something very….special about her that might be very useful to our family." Before Aro turned on his heal and started to talk to his guard "Alec Jane Felix and Demetri make sure all the guard is ready by Twilight tomorrow I have a feeling we are going to be having some fun!"

All Lorenzo could do was squeeze his daughter when he heard those words echo out though the room and wondered why did he let this happen why did he let vengeance and bloodlust bring his daughter to Aro's attention. He would not ever let Inara near this place as long as there was breathe in his body, but he knew as he final left the castle and was in the safety of his limo that he wouldn't have a choice even if he wanted to. Looking down at his Inara he prayed that whatever was special about her that sparked the Devil's interest would never surface, but he knew that God deserted him the day he was born into this family. After all when you make a deal with the Devil your soul is his forever.
