Please review. This is the first fanfic that I've ever posted. I REALLY hope you review. While I hope you give me good reviews, flames accepted too.

This is the story of a girl born before her time, going through changes of a vampire. But this is no ordinary girl, nor is she an ordinary vampire.

Chapter 1

September 21, 1609

Andrew's Point of View

"AHHHHHH!AHHHHHHHHH! THE FIRE! PLEASE, SOMEONE PUT OUT THE FIRE!"

That was HER. Something is wrong, for she has been screaming for four days now. When a few members of the Volturi, me included, went out following the screams, we found her already bit and the vampire who bit and partially drained her running off. While Thomas and Eric ran off after him, John and I went to see if we could stop her transformation to become a vampire. She looked like she was only 13 years old. Sadly, we were too late, but when I used my ability to see if she would be "special", so as to know whether or not to kill her like the others the man turned into a vampire and abandoned, I was knocked backwards.

"Andrew! What happened?!" John had asked me, helping me up.

"She is going to have a very strong and very interesting ability!" I had said to him, my eyes wide open. So once the job of killing her sire (creator) was done we brought her back home with us. Once we arrived, John and I left her with Thomas and Eric to tell Aro what had happened. Once we told him about the girl we found, he asked to see her. After he saw her, he said that once the transformation was finished, he would offer her a position in the Volturi. Jane was annoyed though. Wait a minute! The screaming stopped! I am going to go check on her.

~one minute later~

There she is. Ah. She is opening her eyes now. What the- Her eyes are sky blue!

Ella's Point of View

The pain has stopped! Wait, where am I?! OH! Someone is here with me! I looked over to my left. There was one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen, even more than that strange man in the alley. I flinched. Wait, were is that man, and, where am I? Maybe I should ask the man in front of me. "Um, where am I?" Huh that is not my voice! It sounds different! It sounds almost musical!

"You are at the Volturi's castle in Voltera. Might I ask what your name is?" the beautiful man asked me.

"My name is Ella...What is yours?" I asked him.

"My name is Andrew...Are you feeling okay?" Andrew, what a nice name.

"Yes, I feel fine, why? Oh. And why am I in this castle?"

"It will be explained in a moment, but right now you need to follow me so you can meet up with Aro." Andrew told me.

"Aro?" That is a weird name. "Why do I need to meet him? Whoa!" I had gotten up so fast that I almost fell down out of surprise. Luckily, Andrew caught me.

"You need to be more careful, you'll notice that you are faster than normal. Can you walk, or can you run?" Huh? Why would I run?

"Um...why would I run? I'm a terrible runner." I asked him. He smiled. Oh he has a beautiful smile. Oh wow! I'm in love, and I'm only 15! Actually, now that I think about it, most girls are married by the age of 19, so I guess I should not be surprised. I wonder why my cheeks don't feel warm. Oh well, I'll think about it later. We started to go out the room.

"You need to run because Aro is on the other side of the castle. Also, running should be easy for you now. In fact, it should be second nature for you. Now hold my hand and hold it tight, because I don't want you to get lost, and I want you to try to keep up with me okay?" Oh my god! I'm actually holding his hand! Wait, all of a sudden we're both running really fast! It's only been 4 seconds, but I already can't see the room we were just in. And why don't I have to think about running like I normally do. I'll try to ask Andrew. "Um… Andrew?"

"Yes?" Wow, I was able to hear him clearly.

"Why is it I don't have to think about running?"
"I told you. Running is a second nature now."

"How do you know all this?"

"It is the same for me and everyone else here. It has been for many years. Even for some people outside the Volturi."

"Uh…how old are you?"

"Well, how old do I look?"

"Uh…18?" I guessed.

"Well, your close. My physical age is 18, but I'm actually older than that. I'll tell my real age after you meet Aro. He'll explain everything. Ah. Here we are."

We went inside a room where I gasped at what I saw. There were what looked like two people whose skin looked like it was made out of crinkled paper, bodyguards, and a girl who was a similar similar age to me. For some reason she glared at me. Then Andrew spoke to them.

"Everyone, this is Ella." They all turned to look at me. I hid behind Andrew. The girl smiled angelically at me. Then I felt a pain like as if I was being hit. I winced. Andrew and one of the wrinkled skin people frowned.

"Jane, are you using your ability on poor Ella? You shouldn't." the wrinkled skin man said to the girl.

"Yes Aro." Jane said. Ah. So that wrinkled skin man is Aro.

"Um...wha...what's going on here? Why am I in this castle? What exactly is the Volturi?" Then I winced internally. I was sure I'd get reprimanded, for women aren't supposed to speak unless spoken to. Let alone ask as many questions as I normally do. But Aro answered in a kind voice.

"Yes. You must have a lot of questions. Let's all sit down and I'll explain everything." Everyone found a place to sit and we all looked at Aro. "Now, what has Andrew told you so far?"

"Not much." I told him.

"Well, how much do you know about vampires?"

"Vampires? Why?" I asked. And then, Aro told me everything. From the very beginning. He told me of the beginning of the Volturi, he told me of the first explorers that went to the new world. He told me of the man who had been turning people into vampires and abandoning them.

"So then, that man I saw in the alley who was acting strange was a vampire...and he...bit...me?" I asked in a scared voice.

"Sadly, yes. But he was taken care of, for he was a threat to the people here. Andrew was one of the people in the group that found you and brought you back. He told me that you will have a powerful and unique ability. Have you figured out what it is yet?"

"No, I-" Suddenly my eyes glowed an even brighter blue. "There is a vampire walking around the castle on the right side. He has killed all the guards and is jumping in through the window. He is trying to be inconspicuous, and he wants to get into this room. He'll be here in a minute." I blinked and my eyes turned back to how they were before. Everyone was staring at me. "Um, I have no idea why I just said that." They continued to stare. Then I heard a sound, like as if someone was running down a hall toward us. I turned and looked at the door. "I think I hear someone coming."

"I don't hear any-"then Andrew stopped what he was saying and looked at the door. "Now I hear it. I think you might have another ability." Everyone else was looking at the door too. Then a man burst in, breaking the door in the process.

All of a sudden my eyes glowed bright blue again, and suddenly the man was slightly glowing blue. As soon as he turned slightly blue he froze. He started swearing.

Everyone looked from him to me and back again. Suddenly John spoke up.

"What. The. Hell?! WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!" Everyone looked at me again.

"Don't look at me." I said. "I have no idea what's going on. But why don't we ask him why he," I pointed to the stranger "is trying to break in here?" Then Aro addressed the man.

"What ARE you doing here?" he asked.

"Let me go and you'll find out!" spat the man. He started swearing again. He looked like he was trying to struggle, but he couldn't move. Aro walked over to the man with two body guards next to him. Aro reached out and put his hand on the man's arm while closing his eyes. Confused, I looked at Andrew. He whispered "Aro can read people's minds, but only when he is touching them." Then Aro spoke.

"Andrew, why don't you show Ella around the castle for awhile, while we take care of this...problem." The body guards grabbed the man. "You can let go of him now Ella."

"Um...I still don't know how to..." I said feeling embarrassed.

Then Andrew spoke up. "Why don't you concentrate on him not being frozen in place anymore." I closed my eyes and focused on that. When I opened my eyes again, I saw the man was struggling with the bodyguards.

"Oh, and Andrew," Aro said. "You should tell Ella about THAT legend. And can you bring Ella back in 10 minutes? There is something I want to talk to her about."

"Yes Aro. Come on Ella." Then Andrew led me out of the room.

As we walked out I heard the man say "So, you're recruiting people who can't even control their own abilities now? Man, you must be getting desperate for new members." Next I heard some growling sounds and then a terrible metallic screeching sound. I winced again. Andrew noticed.

"You heard, didn't you." He asked me sadly. I nodded.

"What was it that I heard?" He just shook his head sadly. Realization hit me.

"That...that was him being...killed...wasn't it?"

"Technically, we are already physically dead, for our hearts have stopped. But, yes." He looked very sad as he said this.

I decided to change the subject since neither of us was enjoying this conversation. But even sad, he looked beautiful. "So, what was that legend Aro had asked you to tell me about?"

"AH, yes." He smiled at me, and then he frowned.

"What is it?" I asked, stopping. He stopped too. Then he told me the legend about special vampires who, when turned, had several abilities and had bright blue eyes instead of red eyes like we normally do.

"Just like you." He said to me, turning me towards a mirror behind me. I gasped. He was right; my eyes were bright blue, when everyone else's was red.

"You mean, my eyes were supposed to be red? I wonder why they're blue." I said. All of a sudden I felt thirsty, very thirsty. I watch in the mirror as my eyes turned so black I was surprised I could see. Andrew noticed how my eyes looked in the mirror and smiled. Then I noticed a crack it the wall where water was leaking through, creating a puddle.

"So, you finally got thirsty huh? I thought it would never happen. Let's finish the tour and get you fed. Okay? Now, over there is-what the..." My eyes had started glowing again. All of a sudden the puddle glowed as well. Slowly, the puddle turned red. The smell that came off it was making me have to fight to resist crouching down and drink it up. This is what I'm craving. Andrew stiffened, and someone poked their head out of a door.

The person said "I smell blood."

"Go back in your room Emrys, It's nothing." Then, once Emrys closed his door, Andrew knelt down and stuck a finger in the liquid. He lifted the finger to his mouth and tasted it. I heard him gasp, but it sounded slightly far away. I suddenly felt very tired and all my energy was gone. Then everything started to get black around the edges. The floor started to get closer to my face. I heard a gasp, but realized it came from me. Then everything went black.
