Chapter 1

My life use to be completely normal. Well, except for the fact that I could hypnotize people by just saying something to them. But I had never really seen that as abnormal, it was just… me. To other people, it just looked like I was a really persuasive person. I was the only one who knew any different.

But then, about a week ago, I was approached by a very attractive, terrifying man, or at least I thought he was a man, in an alley outside of my home. He was accompanied by two others. They were all wearing long grey cloaks. He told me that he knew what I could do and that if I didn't come with him, he would expose me. I know what you're thinking. Why didn't I just use my hypnotizing power to get away from him? Believe me, I tried. It didn't seem to work on him, or his friends.

I tried to run but, when I got to the end of the alley they were already there, waiting for me. I was very afraid. I didn't know who they were or what they wanted. They dragged me away, down another alley and into a storm drain. They ran with the quickest speed. It was impossible. I thought I was hallucinating.

We arrived in a large circular room. There were all these people with red eyes and pale skin. I saw them bring in another person, a young girl no older than 16. They put her in front of what seemed to be their leader. He had the palest skin of all and his hair was snow white. Then he bent over her neck. She thrashed and screamed but there was nothing she could do. He was too strong for her. Then it was over. Her body hung limp in his arms.

Finally, I put together the pieces. I was going to be another snack. I tried to run again. That was stupid and pointless. The biggest one caught me and I tried to get away but, again, it was pointless. Then, something happened that I did not expect at all. Their leader introduced his self to me. He said that his name was Aro. He explained to me what I had just witnessed. He said that the easiest way to tell me would be to show me. Then, he explained to me what they all were doing here.

Apparently, they were part of a group of vampires called the Volturi. They saw what I could do and wanted to offer me a place with them. I was still marveling over the fact that vampires were real so it surprised me when I understood just what he was asking me to do. I immediately said, "No." I refused to be a part of that. I didn't want to kill people, I didn't want immortality, I didn't want any of it. That was stupid of me.

Then I heard Aro say one word. The worst word I have ever heard, the one that I never want to hear again. Aro said, "Jane?"
