Chapter 1
Jane Volturi was bored, and when Jane was bored bad things tended to happen. Her twin brother Alec, perhaps the only living being in the world she cared about, was away on a mission with Chelsea and Afton. Her lips pulled back into a snarl, Chelsea like most of the other Guard members hated her with a passion but unlike the others Chelsea could hurt her by taking Alec away from her. The bitch could change relationships; strengthen or weaken them, she could turn best friends into hated enemies and Jane had heard that the only reason Afton was her mate was because she had used her power on him. Chelsea was the reason why the Guard was so loyal to the three masters: Aro, Marcus and Caius.
Jane clenched her fist if that insignificant little whelp did anything to her brother she would experience pain so great it would make the vampire conversion look like a spa holiday. Chelsea was so terrified of her, hell they all were, that she wouldn't dare try anything while Jane was there but she wasn't and she worried for her brother. Alec was the only one she trusted in the whole world. He had been there from the start; when she was born, their short childhood, they had been tied together to a wooden pole as the flames licked higher and higher and he had been the first one she had seen upon waking up as a vampire.
They were twins and their bond was incredibly strong even if they were completely different. Alec was polite, friendly and was like by most of the Guard. She was hated. Even Caius glared at her occasionally. Aro didn't hate her but nor did he like her. He saw her as a weapon, which she was, but that was all. He didn't like her as a person more of an object that belonged to him. The truth was she only stayed for Alec. Alec saw the Volturi as a family, his family and wanted desperately to stay so she tolerated it. They had never had a family, she still didn't but she had her twin, she didn't need anyone else. Ever. Chelsea never had to re-tie their loyalty lines to the masters like the others; Alec was incredibly loyal and she wouldn't leave him on his own.
A rat scurried across the floor and she glared at it focusing her power on the tiny body. The rodent stopped and started to convulse as waves of pain pulsated through its small body. Of course it wasn't real pain but Jane could trick the brain into thinking it was. Her eyes caught sight of the large oval mirror on the wall and her concentration went allowing the rat to scurry away.
The glass reflected a young girl who looked about 12 years old. Her black hair hung down in soft waves over a child like face, she was tiny and thin, turned before puberty her 400 year old mind was forever trapped in the 12 year old body she had been burned in. The only difference were her eyes; once an emerald green they now burned a crimson red and her skin which had turned ice cold and stronger than diamonds. She hated her body, more than she hated Chelsea because if it she never got any respect, people assumed she had a child's mind and treated her like one. She had tried to stop it but as the years dragged on she got used to it and even pretended to like it, pretended to like Aro and his sick mind games but inside she was screaming. Her life had never begun.
She dangled her feet over her bed, the rat had escaped and she was bored again. She turned her eyes back to the mirror. Pain was a huge part of her life. The pain that she felt when her mother had beat her for being a loud child, the pain from the villagers throwing stones at her the "witch child", the pain of the fire licking at her skin and the pain of a vampire transformation. It was that pain which she punished other with. She made them feel every beat and punch she had ever endured. She both loved and hated her gift; hated it because it alienated from everyone, even Alec at times, and it reminded her of her human life, loved it because finally, finally after years of being helpless she could strike back, she had lived with this pain so should they.
Though there was a tiny part of her that rebelled against it, a small part, the voice in the back of her mind that told her it was wrong. Each time she pushed it back but it stayed there and recently it seemed to be getting bigger and louder. The girl in the mirror, what was she: monster, victim, child, woman, justice or revenge? Jane just didn't know. She hopped of her bed. Alec would be returning soon and she wanted to be the first to greet him.
She pushed open her door and looked up and down the hallway, no-one was there. Good. She liked being alone. Her small feet thudded out a rhythm as she walked towards the entrance. Her brother was gifted as well; he could block a persons senses so that they didn't see, hear, smell, taste or feel anything. His gift was more powerful and dangerous then hers yet he was welcomed here with open arms. Maybe she was a little jealous of him but she never showed it. Alec would be hurt and she couldn't stand it if that happened. Whatever she was here first and foremost she was his sister.
The rat from before scurried out in front of her and she glared at it, didn't the stupid thing realize what she could do to it? It squeaked once at her before scrabbling off into the darkness. A wry grin spread across her face; even the rats feared her. There was perhaps only one person who didn't fear her. Well two if you counted Alec. Bella Swan. A human that had been turned a year ago. Her lips snarled again. The pathetic human had been immune to her gift, she had felt no pain and had actually smirked at her from across that field. Her mutant brat had been allowed to escape unscathed.
She loathed Bella and deep deep inside her, in the place she never looked, she knew why. Bella scared her. She couldn't harm Bella but Bella could hurt her. In a physical fight Jane was useless. Sure she may have strength and speed but she didn't know how to fight, she had always relied on her gift. What made it worse Bella had expanded her shield and she couldn't hurt any of them. She had been reduced to that helpless child again. She had heard one of the female vampires, Kate Denali, hiss "Jane's mine. She needs a taste of her own medicine." and she had been terrified.
Sighing, she approached the entrance maybe Aro would have some "guests" he wanted interrogating. That would keep her busy enough.
"Jane has got to go!" the shrill voice pierced her ears and she froze on the spot. The cry had been nasally and high pitched and she knew instantaneously that it was Sulpicia, Aros annoying mate. Neither of the "queens" liked her and the feelings were mutual. She back stepped and looked through a small gap in the door. Athenodora was there to.
Aro and Caius were sat on a luxurious couch and the two females were standing with determined and angry looks on their faces. Both incredibly beautiful and both very cunning. Sulpicia was glaring at her mate.
"I don't care if you want her precious gift. That insane brat has got to go!" Athenodora nodded.
" Her power may be valuable but she is the reason so many covens hate us. If we get rid of her that hatred will disappear. After that humiliating defeat to those wretched Cullens other groups will rebel." Caius and Aro shared a glance and Janes stomach shrivelled. Sulpicia carried on.
"We don't need her anyway, her power isn't that great anyway. Any one of our other members can cause pain. Besides if her gift is negated she is useless and a risk to us." Athenodora smiled and Jane felt dread cover her.
"Who knows, with Jane gone the Cullens might feel less threatened and come here more often. My lord Aro you would have more chances to convert the future seer." Jane knew then that Athenodora had won. There was nothing Aro wanted more then Alice Cullen. Her ability was rare and would be a huge asset to his plans, whatever they were. She also knew that the only way you left the Volturi was dead. She had to get away.

Sneak Peak
Jane collapsed on the floor her energy gone and her will had vanished. She didn't want to fight any more. Her mind slipped into blackness as a figure stepped over her.
