My father, mother, brother and I were in Volterra, Italy on vacation, with today being the last day in the beautiful city before we flew out tomorrow. My parents wanted to take a tour of an old Volterra building. They had gotten the idea while we were out eating in a local restaurant the previous night. We had been approached by a beautiful woman named Heidi, who had been dressed to thrill.

She had been dressed in a short black mini with black stockings, which showcased her legs beautifully. The black high heels she wore completed the picture. Her scarlet long sleeved top clung to her every curve and her long mahogany hair had been arranged artfully around her face. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She had struck up a conversation with us and suggested we might like to see where she worked. I tried to ignore the fact that her strange violet eyes appeared to stare at my family as if they were her next meal. My older brother, Tad, of course, drooled over her.

It had been while my parents had been talking with her that I noticed a male staring at me. He was quite simply the most breathtaking male I had ever seen. He was built like a linebacker and the grey suit he was wearing showed off his attributes quite nicely. He had black short cropped hair and although his skin tone was olive, it was also strangely pale. Chills had run up and down my spine as I noticed the sunglasses he wore, despite the fact that it was night. He had licked his lips and I had eerie sense that he was imagining me as his next meal. It had been the woman, Heidi, who had frowned at him warningly. That they knew each other was obvious.

When my parents had spoken about it this morning I had tried to talk them out of the visit to the Volturi building, but with no luck. I had been born with this strange sense of knowing and that sense had been screaming at me ever since my mom and dad had told me about the trip to Italy. I had tried to talk mom into letting me stay at Emma's, my best friend's place, with no luck. She hadn't wanted me celebrating my seventeenth birthday without family around me. I had a strange feeling in pit of my stomach that told me that after tonight I would never see my family alive again. I didn't even know if I would live.

As we walked towards the Volturi building, I felt myself getting more and more tense until I started to drag my feet. My mom stopped, glared at me and told me to hurry up. I shrugged uneasily as we walked up the stairs and pushed the door open. My mouth dropped open when I walk through the doors and noticed the luxurious surroundings. It was very beautiful with soft music coming from the carefully concealed speakers and a woman smiled at us from the polished counter she was seated behind.

"Hi, we're here to see Heidi," said my father, his voice trailing off when he realized he didn't remember her last name.

The receptionist smiled and nodded. "Please take a seat and I'll see if she's available."

As if Heidi had been waiting for that cue, she appeared. My heart jumped in terror as I realized she had appeared as if from nowhere. My parents hadn't noticed anything, but I had. This was one place I definitely didn't want to be. I reached up and put my lips to my mother's ear.

"Mom," I whispered, my bright green eyes widening, "I think we should leave. There's something not quite right about this place."

I felt as Heidi's eyes reached mine. I drew in a quick breath. She had heard me. I knew she had. My mom patted my hand, before whispering back,

"Don't be silly. This is the last chance we'll have to see some very old Italian architecture."

Heidi's smiled slightly and nodded towards me. She walked up to my parents and held out her hands.

"Mr and Mrs Fleming, it is so nice to see you. I see you brought your lovely daughter, Sienna and your son, Theodore," said Heidi softly. "Aro, my boss, is just in raptures to meet you."

My parents willingly took one of Heidi's offered hands and Tad bounded up to her like a playful puppy. I was the only one who stayed back, not trusting the woman one inch. Slowly walking backward, I inched myself toward the door which lead outside. I had to stop when I collided into something, or should I say someone. I looked back and stared helplessly into the face of the man I had seen last night.

"You're heading in the wrong direction. Your family is moving toward the lifts," he murmured, before herding me in the direction Heidi had taken my family.

"Ah, Felix, I see you have our straggler," said Heidi smugly. "See she doesn't wander off somewhere she shouldn't."

The man named Felix smiled at her. "It will be my pleasure, Heidi, we're right behind you."

It was as I was in the lift with the others that I boldly whispered to Felix. "You're not fooling me, you know. I know there's something wrong here and that we, my family, are in terrible danger. I know you're not human. I just don't know what you are."

Felix arched his eyebrow with surprise and then his eyes narrowed. "Isn't it a shame you'll find out too late."

I stood closer to him. "Maybe," I whispered back boldly.

Heidi and my family were in deep conversation. I could hear her going on about the marvel to be found in the basement and how that would be the first step on our tour. My stomach churned and I looked at Felix and Heidi in horror. I finally knew. I finally knew I had figured out the missing piece. I tried to press the emergency button on the lift, but quicker than lightning Felix held me by the wrist. His hand was icy cold. The doors of the lift opened.

"As I said," purred Felix softly. "Too late."

Heidi exited the lift first with my parents following closely behind them. My eyes grew wide with terror. They had realized there was anything wrong.

"You're vampires," I gasped out. "I know you are."

I slowly watched as my family walked along the long corridor heading towards a room with large wide doors.

"Mom, Dad, Tad, run, they're vampires," I screamed at them.

I tried to pull away from Felix with no success. I watched hopelessly as my mother stared back at me with an angry look on her face.

"Don't be silly, Sienna, there's no such thing. Now come on, you're being extremely rude."

Heidi smirked at me and Felix chuckled. My family and I were about to die and it would be because I hadn't warned them in time. Tears welled up in my eyes. I blinked them away. If I was going to die then it would be with pride. I would not flinch away in terror when the time came. I straightened my shoulders, walked forward and entered the room my family had just gone through, knowing Felix was close to my heels.

The room we walked into was like that from a medieval castle. It was like we had walked into a tower. The only lighting came from the narrow rectangular windows that were about two stories up the tower walls. There were only several chairs in the room and were those similar to the thrones medieval kings would have sat on. I couldn't help shivering, the atmosphere was icy cold and I couldn't believe it when I saw the pale, extremely beautiful, forms of ladies in summer dresses.

My parents were staring about the room with extreme interest and my brother was now staring at the other females in the room. It seemed they barely noticed the change in temperature. I watched as a male approached me and Felix. He smiled at me dangerously. I felt as Felix's hand tightened on my wrist.

"Dibs, Demetri," said Felix, in almost a bored tone. "This one is mine."

I stared at the man known as Demetri, taking in his beautiful features and the black hair that fell to his shoulders. This man scared me more than Felix did. I moved back until I collided with Felix.

"You're a tracker." I gasped out.

Demetri stared at me with surprise. He looked at Felix and raised his brow.

"Yes, she has the gift of knowing. Too bad she's about to die soon, isn't it. She tried to warn her family we were vampires when we were in the lift. They didn't believe her."

"You know Aro is going to want to know about this, don't you?"

Felix snarled, "He'll want to keep her and I'll miss out again. I've already missed out on Bella Swan, no, make that Bella Cullen and I don't mean to miss out again. You know what a mistake it was to let Bella Swan go. Look at the way her power overrode all of ours. The Cullen's made us out to be fools at that little town called Forks in the United States."

I watched the stern look Demetri gave Felix. "You don't need to worry about the Cullens. That happened years ago and Aro will decide when they will be punished. This girl however needs to be brought to his attention. He needs to know and whatever happens next will be his decision, Felix. You must stand by it. He would not want one with a gift disposed of so quickly, not when he hunts for them so arduously."

My heart started pounding as hope started to fill it.

Felix sighed. "I guess you're right. I can leave her a little longer, however we have three humans here who we don't have to leave. I'll leave you and the others to feed."

Demetri grinned and turned his attention to my brother. I knew what he was going to do and although I was insane to do it I buried my face into Felix's chest, preferring that alternative to seeing my family being slaughtered. I felt a gust of wind and then heard the terrible screams that came from my brother and parents when they realized what was happening. I felt tears stream down my face as I cried silently. I had tried to warn them and they wouldn't listen and now they were gone from me forever.

I waited until I knew the feeding frenzy was over before turning to look at where my parents had last stood. The bodies of my family had already been removed and there wasn't a drop of their blood to be seen. Grief threatened to overpower me when I noticed Demetri coming towards us with bright red eyes and a smile of pleasure on his face. I couldn't help what I did next. When Demetri stood next to us, I drew back my arm and punched him in the jaw using all the strength I had. To my frustration, his face barely turned. It hadn't made the slightest impression.

Demetri threw back his head and laughed. He glanced at Felix. "You have a wildcat on your hands, Felix. That will be good for you. Her blood will be more delicious because of it."

Felix lowered his head and pressed his mouth against the jugular vein on my throat, scrapping his teeth against it in almost a parody of a kiss. "I am indeed fortunate."

Someone behind him laughed. "Why are you fortunate, Felix?"

Felix looked up and stared at the person in front of him. He bowed. "Master, I am fortunate because I am about to dine on the one before you."

I raised my eyes warily and stared in to the blacked haired, almost translucent pale face of the ancient vampire in front of me and gasped before reaching my hand out to touch his face.

"I know you," I whispered softly, before my head started to spin and I lost consciousness.
