Intro: Life in Death
Hey first Twilight Fanfic!!!
As a human I took simple things like life for granted. Now since my death my eyes have opened to see life as a candle, and with the slightest breath of wind or the tiniest of nudges, it will topple it into the darkness. But that is only if you are one of the lucky ones…
I am not; my parents even nicknamed me Jinx after my bad luck. But what I lacked in luck I made for up in charisma and manipulation. Back in 1962 my name was Claudia.
As a child simple 'normal' things bored me, I found I could manipulate people to do my every whim at a very young age. No matter how absurd my request, I always got my way. Straight 'A's in school, of course, and most popular, but I was never truly happy.
I grew cocky, I viewed myself queen of their lives. I was the puppeteer; naturally getting every thing I wanted got boring. So I decided I would make my most expensive demand of my parents and go to Italy. That was what I wanted so that was what I got.
That year, on exactly my eighteenth day of birth, I died…
I had snuck away to wander to streets of Italy, confident that my ability to manipulate humans would keep me safe. Fortunately or unfortunately, I was wrong.
As I walked I heard footsteps that followed mine. Those were joined by more until I knew I needed to stop and confront them… but who ever they were, they were too much. Even for me.
They, for one reason or another did not kill me. They left me in agony.
As I writhed, I dragged myself along the street until I fell, deep into the heart of Italy's putrid underbelly. There he found me. There he bit me, his fangs sinking deep into my frail skin. There I ascended… after he bit me he carried me to the Volturi's doorstep.
Later he told me why he did it. According to him I emitted such an aura he could not 'live' with him self if he let such potential pass. He knew Aro would never forgive him.
After my ascension, Claudia was the name of the old dead me. In a sort of way to honor my parents I adopted the name Jinx.
I soon became Aro's favorite of the guard. Just like when I was human, I got my way. But in the Volturi I was no queen. I had too much respect for Aro to take over his coven. The Volturi taught me about my gift and the gifts some vampires possessed, and this gift was what attracted Eleazar to tracking and finding me.
They told me I could manipulate, like I did in my human years only amplified. According to him any aspect of a human and some in vampires I could control. So before I ate I would experiment and find how deep into insanity I could push them until I got to hungry.
I could erase their mind and reduce them to nothing, unplug their brain so to speak. Eventually I learned that I could heal by controlling their cells.
But, humanity was twenty-five years ago…
