This story has been in my mind for a while. I really am proud of the idea because it is different then most Twilight fanfictions out there. It came from a dream, but the dream had absolutely nothing to do with Twilight. I really hope you enjoy this and please give me any feedback because I love to hear what you guys think!

Prologue: The Black Cloaks

My first trip to Europe should have been exciting. But as I took my shoes off at security, all I could feel was terror. Four black cloaks surrounded me, making sure I wouldn't run off. I could barely move at all for fear of what they would do to me if I did.

I tied my shoes after going through security and we were just in time to board the plane to New York City. I had never been on a plane before. I had never even been that far from my home at the La Push Reservation except to go to Forks and occasionally Port Angeles.

I would have considered it lucky if New York was our destination, but it was just a stop on the way. My captors were taking me to Italy. Before this, I had always wanted to go to Italy to taste authentic Italian food and take in the gorgeous landscape, but that was not the case now. The petite girl sat next to me, boxing me in to the window seat. Tears started to trail down my cheeks for it was her crimson eyes I feared most.

"Shh. This will be easier if you don't make a scene, Olivia," she whispered, her voice anything but consoling. We were coasting down the runway now; I was positive that this would be the last time I saw Washington.

They've kidnapped me. The thought kept coming up in my head. I was sobbing at the thought of never seeing my parents, Sam and Emily Uley ever again. What could the cold ones possibly want with me? I was only a thirteen-year-old girl who most likely wouldn't become a wolf.

Less than twelve hours ago everything was normal. I had taken a shortcut through the woods walking home from my friend Jill's house, as was normal on summer nights. Someone said my name and by instinct, I turned to find four black cloaks.

All the legends and stories I had heard didn't prepare me for the fear and pain I would experience after that moment. I tried to run away, but pain like an electric shock scalded every inch of my body and I was on the ground surrounded by them. There was no escape.

"Hello Olivia. I am Jane and this is Alec, Demetri, and Felix." Though the one who spoke was the smallest of the quartet, she seemed to be the one with the most power. It was then that I saw their red eyes and immediately I recognized them. Vampires. The Volturi. By this point I was trebling.

From the stories I had heard so often at pack bonfires, I had learned that the Volturi were like the monarchs of the vampire world. They were the law, and they had a skilled and dangerous guard to protect them and carry out orders. And here four of the guard where surrounding me, one of which had an uncanny ability to inflict pain on others without even making contact with them.

"Look how scared she is, Jane. Let me take it from here. We're not going to kill you Olivia, I promise. We just need you to come with us to Italy," the largest one, Felix, said. It took every ounce of my courage to whisper "no". The pain was excruciating and an icy hand covered my mouth to stifle my screams. The forest floor came up to meet me and I curled in a ball until the pain finally subsided.

"It would be best if you kept quiet and just went along, Olivia. There's more where that came from," Jane said, a cruel smile on her face. "Also, you'll need to give me your cell phone." I unwillingly placed my only link to my parents in her stone hand.

Felix pulled me off the ground and before I could pull myself together, he scooped me up and ran through the forest faster than a jet plane. Our destination was a fancy car, and there they explained where they were going to take me. We were going to Italy, to talk to their master for reasons they would not say.

And now I was trapped on this plane. I could almost hear my mother's sobs. My father could not stand to see her upset and he would come for me. Thinking about that made me feel a little better. If anyone could take on the Volturi, my father Sam Uley and the rest of the pack could. My dad wouldn't easily be able to leave La Push, and getting the whole pack out as would be nearly impossible, but knowing my dad he would do anything to find me.

It's funny how things you're dreading come quickly, or maybe I just fell asleep, but it seemed like it only took us half an hour to get to the New York airport. Jane stood up swiftly and led the way out of the plane and into the actual airport. To my surprise, Alec pulled my passport from the pocket in his cloak. I had never used it before; it was just something my parents got for me just in case.

The passport brought tears back to my eyes, thinking about how much I already missed my parents. Their love was my only hope of going home, but I knew it wouldn't be easy considering how thoroughly they seemed to have planned this. We waited in hard plastic chairs without any luggage to board the flight to Italy. A quiet growling sound came out of nowhere, and I was scared stiff until I realized that it was just my stomach. But I couldn't eat. Not when I was being held captive by vampires.

"She must be hungry, Jane. We should get her some food," Alec whispered. He looked almost identical to Jane except his features were more boyish than hers.

"Olivia, are you hungry?" I shook my head. I felt like I was going to throw up.

"Not to worry, sister. There will be food on the plane," Alec reassured. Even the immortal feared Jane. For the next few minutes, they conversed in tones so hushed that I couldn't hear. I worried that they were planning what to do with me. The conversations stopped when our flight was called. Again I was stuck sitting next to Jane.

As we took off, I tried to brainstorm a plan to get out of this mess. Nothing came to mind.
