When I finished reading the Twilight series about six months back, I had an interest in Jane and Alec. For some reason, I was curious about their powers and backgrounds. So, after reading a bit more about them, I came up with this story. I'm just not getting the chance to write it… I hope it's ok!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything.

Prologue:

I raced through the forest, my curly black hair blowing in the wind behind me. I knew they were following me closely. They were always there, always watching my every move. I knew it. I could sense it. My tracking abilities weren't completely useless, even if they seemed like it at times. Mostly, I was the one being hunted. And it was all because of Jane. Jane, who couldn't keep her anger to herself. You would think that after two or three millennia a girl would stop holding a grudge, but no. I was still on her list, and I would forever be.

I shook my head as if to tell myself to concentrate and search the land about me for any foes. I reach my mind out, looking for any sign of someone following me, when all of a familiar scent filled my nose. My senses were more keen than the normal vampire's for that was the main cause of my tracking ability. It took me less than a second to recognize the scent. Alec.

My glowing red eyes glanced around in alarm, but I couldn't see him. He was hiding, but I knew he was there. After knowing him for so long, it was hard not to be aware of when he was near.

"You really got on her bad side," his voice spoke, making me flinch slightly. I could tell he was now right behind me. I slowly turned around to face him, brushing my black wiry face out of my pale face.

"I know," I replied, my voice almost a whisper. "But it wasn't my fault. I was human. I couldn't control what my heart wanted."

Alec cocked his head to the side slightly, observing me. It was hard to believe that I was finally seeing him again. He had been my childhood friend, and now he and all the other Volturi were suppose to kill me. It was a little hard for me to grasp that my former allies wanted to kill me.

"You know what I have to do, right?" he asked, his red eyes showing no emotion. If I still had a beating heart, I know it would have stopped. Alec and Jane had always been my friends, and I had been loyal to them. The thought of them killing me was unbearable. I nodded my head, straightening my posture.

He took a step closer to me, but I didn't move. This was probably going to be it. He was probably going to kill me like the other Volturi would. I knew I could physically beat him, but I didn't think my heart could take seeing him hurt.

My heart. It almost seemed like a dream now. It had been so long since I last felt it beating in my chest, and yet I still had emotions. Especially for Alec. Why did I have to be so weak? I was strong when he wasn't around, and probably more stubborn than I care to admit, but when he was near my mind didn't seem to work right. I hated it. I hated him. I wanted it to be over.

Alec paused, not coming any closer. I watched him carefully, my eyes never leaving his. He let out a sigh, which was unusual for him. He usually didn't breath because he didn't have to. There was a slight breeze, but it didn't mess up his dark brown hair as he broke the silence. "I can't do it."

I blinked in confusion at his statement. I hadn't been expecting that at all.

"Why not?" I asked dryly, trying not to show the emotions I felt inside. They weren't that hard to hide. Alec gave me a slightly pained looked before turning away.

"Be careful, Genevieve. Jane hasn't forgiven you," he warned before disappearing into the woods. His last words hadn't been much of a shocker to me. Jane wasn't one to forgive so easily. Not that what I did was a big deal. Plus, she has held the same grudge for many, many years.

I stared over to where Alec had stood, slightly wishing he would return. "Stop it," I softly whispered to myself. I shouldn't focus my thoughts on him for too long. Then I turned around, looking at the forest ahead of me, and I ran. I ran because I could, and because with my terrible luck they would probably next send Demetri after me.

I finally stopped when I could sense the presence of other vampires within 100 yards of me, and since they seemed to be heading closer to me they had apparently spotted me. I just stood there, waiting for something to happen next, when three vampires came into view. They were all male gold eyes, and by the looks on their faces, they weren't pleased to see another vampire. Perfect. I had just run into territorial vegetarians.

The first one was tall, and looked strong, with very short hair that looked black. The next was had auburn colored hair, and didn't seem as strong as the other. The last one made me stare in disbelief.

"Carlisle?" I asked, a hopeful tone in my voice. The blonde vampire looked at me curiously and nodded his head. Thank god. I had met Carlisle within the time he was apart of the Volturi, and I was well aware that he quit, but I didn't know what had become of him. I couldn't believe my luck at the moment.

"Genevieve?" Carlisle asked in response, and I gave him a small nod. The dark-haired one looked of at Carlisle in confusion, but the auburn haired one watched me, as if he understood.

"How do you know Alec and Jane?" He asked curiously. I narrowed my bright crimson eyes. How did he know that I was acquainted with Alec and Jane. He just grinned a crooked smile. "Telepath."

"Well, that's just great. Too bad I don't care. Get out of my head!" I hissed, baling my fist. The taller vampire took a step forward as if to try to stop me from hurting anyone, but Carlisle stopped him.

"Don't, Emmett. Genevieve knows how to handle herself, whether she acts like it or not," he said calmly. I snorted, trying to resist the urge to roll my eyes. Of course I could control myself! I was over ten times older than Carlisle! Even if I did look like I was thirteen. Carlisle's voice is what ended up bringing me out of my thoughts. "Why are you here?"

I quickly glanced over at the blonde vampire, observing him. I took a deep breath, not that I needed it, before replying. "Jane has for some reason made me her focus at the moment. She sent Alec after me right before I ran into you…" Carlisle raised his eyebrow as if asking what happened. "He left me alone," I added quietly. Carlisle nodded, but the other two vampires didn't let the information sink in so easily.

"Why would Alec let you go?" Emmett asked, his voice almost an annoyed grunt. My gaze flickered over to him and I growled slightly. "Because we have a history," I responded simply. Emmett glanced over at the auburn haired vampire, but he seemed to understand. Probably because he was reading my mind.

Trying to ignore the fact that my mind was being infiltrated, I turned back over to Carlisle. He seemed very calm about all of this, which I found strange. I expect him to be worried about the fact that the Volturi were so close.

"I need a place to stay," I spoke softly, hoping that I seemed innocent. Carlisle might not have a problem with helping me, but the other two probably think I am a threat. I might as well try to start to change their minds. "I heard about what happened with the Cullens and the fake 'immortal child'. I know that you somehow talked the Volturi out of hurting you. I need help, Carlisle. Jane won't stop until I'm burned on a stake."

Carlisle seemed to consider this for a moment, but he nodded. The auburn haired vampire seemed unsettled about this, for he had a worried look on his face. On the other hand, Emmett seemed greatly against the idea.

"Are you kidding me?! She just tried to attack us! The kid acts like a newborn!" Emmett protested.

That does it, I thought as I shot Emmett a glare. Then I let out a small snarl before growling, "Listen here, dirt bag. I'm older than all of you three combind, and I've dealt with Jane hunting me down for millennia. Don't call me a newborn!"

"Genevieve!" Carlisle scowled before sighing. "Let's not do this now. And in Emmett's defense, you are acting like a two-year old human. Come," he said before turning around and racing off. The auburn haired vampire glanced at me before running after him. Emmett glared at me, but soon followed the other two.

I sighed deeply and closed my eyes. They said they would help me. In a way, at least. What did that mean? Could I find a way back into the Volturi? Could I get Jane to like me again? Could I somehow figure out a way to be with Alec? I sure hoped so. If not, I'm screwed.

My eyes flickered open before I darted off after the three vampires, using my tracking skills to follow them.

So there's the prologue! I promise that future chapters will be longer. I hope you liked it! Please review and tell me what you thought about it… Comments and critic would both be appreciated!
