Aro looked at the clock on the wall, then back at the door. He and the rest of the Volturi were seated at a large horseshoe table, with Aro rightfully sat at the top end. All the seats were occupied, except for one. His smile was far to happy considering that Jane was late. The meeting was supposed to start at 11pm, and it was now 11:16pm. The rest of the Volturi sat in silence; they were forbidden to speak unless spoken to by Aro.

Footsteps echoed from the hallway. Aro's smile grew wider, showing off his teeth.

"Ah, how lovely of you to join us, Jane." Aro said as Jane entered the room, folding his hands together in his lap.

Jane gracefully walked to her seat with her head held high and a completely bored expression on her beautiful face, her eyes practically shining a vivid red.

"My apologies for being late, you always did say that I liked to play with my food before I ate it," Jane said as she sat down. Aro beamed at her.

"Oh, Jane! I should have known." Aro laughed. "Well, now that everyone is here, shall we begin?"

-

"This is absolutely ridiculous."

"You don't have to like the plan Jane, but that's what's going to happen."

To say Jane was outraged would have been an understatement. They weren't seriously suggesting that she should just "forget about it"?

"The thought that the Cullen boy would actually turn her is ludacris." Jane snapped her head towards Marcus. "You saw it. You saw how much he cares for her, how far he would go to protect her. Do you really think that he would turn her into one of us?"

Marcus considered this. He had indeed seen the intensity of the love that the two shared, his little gift had seen to that. It hadn't exactly confused him that much, he himself had once felt that with Didyme. Marcus would've never let anything bad happen to her, especially not death. His thoughts must of shown on his face, because Jane took this moment to carry on with her argument.

"See? Sickening, isn't it?" Jane said with a grimace. Of all her years on this Earth Jane could never fathom the concept of how vampires could love. They were dead, for crying out loud.

"Alice has a vision, she showed it to Ar-"

"She saw a possibility of what may happen. She saw the Cullen boy debate on whether or not to do it, and as a result of that she got that vision, which she showed Aro. There's no concrete proof that what she saw will happen," Jane said dismissively, cutting off Felix.

Jane looked at Aro. His face was looked deep in concentration, then he burst out laughing.

"It would seem that our Jane is once again correct! My my, how lost we would be without you dear." Aro raised his hand to his right eye and wiped away a non existent tear. "But it would be such a shame to waste such a golden opportunity. Aren't you curious as to what could happen if she became one of us?"

"If by curious you mean absolutely disgusted at the idea that she have the honor to become one of us, then yes, I'm very curious." Jane stared at Aro, as if she could take him down without breaking a sweat. Which she could, if she wanted.

The air in the room seemed to get thicker, no one had ever talked like that to Aro. The rest of the Volturi was to stunned to say anything.

Aro laughed. Again. It was really starting to piss Jane off now. Aro laughed at Jane, as if she was a little girl who had said a naughty word but made it sound cute.

The rest of the Volturi started to get restless out of anticipation. Aro wouldn't let that go, oh he would laugh like he thought Jane was charming, but she would eventually pay for her rudeness. Demetri remembered a guard who had said one to many sarcastic comments regarding Aro's leadership methods. Aro had seen to it that he had his teeth ripped out, letting him slowly starve to death.

Jane gripped the edge of the table, desperately trying to control her anger. She hated it when people laughed at her. Her teeth clenched together. She wanted - oh how she wanted - to just release the anger upon whomever was closest, even if that happened to be her twin, Alec.

Aro's laughter died down. "My dear Jane, you do amuse me greatly! Now, seen as though you feel so strongly about Be-" Jane shot him a look so full of hatred that Aro nearly got a taste of what Jane's power felt like. "Oh, well... Seen as though you feel so strongly about this subject, would you care to tell us your plan?"

Jane looked taken aback. She hadn't exactly got a plan, she just thought that she would slowly torture and kill her, possibly whilst making the Cullen boy watch.

"Oh, so you don't have a plan?" Aro said, raising an eyebrow.

"Not as such-"

"Well then, our plan will go ahead, Bella will be turned into one of us tomorrow evening due to the fact that she knows to much about our kind," Aro said ending the discussion. Jane wasn't happy about it, but she new that it would be hopeless to try to change Aro's mind now. She and the rest of the Volturi got up to leave.

"Oh and Jane dear," Jane stopped, closed her eyes, counted to three, then turned round. "Your actions earlier will not go unpunished."

"What actions? Me simply saying I was disgusted?"

"I was thinking of you eating that little boy when you knew his mother was in close range, she could have seen you, Jane. I don't care for sloppiness, you know that. But since you brought up your tone form before, I could punish you for that too, if you'd like."

Jane looked like she was ready to slaughter an entire village. Did Aro just say she was sloppy? Jane nearly lost it, but she reminded herself to keep calm. This was Aro, your maker, he gave you all of this.

"And what exactly will my punishment be? Isn't having that being brought into our world enough?"

"You'll find out soon enough. Run along now, we've got a big run for tomorrow night!" Aro's tone returned to it's normal happy one.

-

The Volturi marched further into Forks disguised in human clothes. Jane and Alec wore jeans and t-shirts, whilst the other members dressed more appropriately due to how old they looked. Aro tugged at his jacket as if amused greatly at the idea of humans actually wearing these things.

"There." Jane nodded towards the Swan residence. "Was it really necessary for me to come, or to bring this many?" She asked.

"Come on Jane, there's only a few extras, and that's purely because of those pesky wolfs that have been snooping around," Aro said.

"Sure."

"Jane, seen as though were nearly there, I think now would be a good time to tell you that it will be you doing the honor of bringing Bella into our world," Aro said, a smug smile spread across his ancient face.

Jane stopped walking.

"What?"

"You heard." Aro stopped in front of the door, with Jane still standing out on the road. "Now, do you think we should knock or just enter? I don't want to seem rude..."

Jane's world seem to tilt on it's axis, she felt dizzy, faint even. Which was ridiculous considering she was dead and incapable of such things. Did Aro just say that she would be the one? No. No no no no no no. She wouldn't, not in a million years on this Earth would she do such a thing.

Before they'd set off to Forks, Jane told herself that she should just enjoy watching Bella scream in pain at the transformation, she told herself to imagine that it was her causing Bella to feel this way. But not now, no. She wouldn't.

Aro turned and looked at Jane.

"Come along Jane, you are the key to this master plan after all."

"No."

"Now now, Jane, I did say you would get punished, and I'm afraid this is it. Be a good girl now and do as you're told. That is if you want to be a member of the Volturi anymore. Oh, and if you still want your head attached to your neck."

Jane ripped off the gate to the house in anger and threw it at a rusty old truck that looked like it had seen better days. She started shaking.

"You can't make me-"

"Oh but I can." Aro turned his head back towards the house. "Well, it would seem that Edward has woken her and sneaked her out the back door. Lovely! I always love a good hunt." His eyes shot towards Jane. "You will find her and turn her over, then bring her back to the Cullen's home where we will be waiting for you." Jane looked like she was about to protest when Aro spoke again, "If you fail, then believe me when I tell you that this will be the last time you will ever see the stars."

Jane was still shaking as Aro and the other few members brushed passed her and left her standing there. Alec was the only one who stopped.

"They went East," he said, trying to be helpful to his twin.

Jane stared at Alec as if she was seeing him for the first time. Alec smiled nervously.

"Come on, sis, you know you gotta do it. Just suck it up and get on with it," Alec said. "Geddit? Suck it up...?"

Jane couldn't help but smile at her brother. She didn't find it funny in the slightest, but at least he was trying. Alec hugged her and left her alone to go hunt for Bella.
