I was done thinking about that. So I simply smiled and pretended nothing was wrong as I continued down the hallway to Master Aro's chambers.

Alec stepped in first, me following two steps behind. "Hello, Master Aro." He smiled angelically and nodded once.

I walked in and nodded. "Greetings." I smiled as well.

"Jane! Alec! How lovely to see you all! Are you in need of anything on this fine day?"

"No, we simply came to see if there were any new assignments we could go on…… Together."

"Hm, I don't believe there ar- ah! There is one, but I'm not sure how willing you would be to accept it……."

I leaned around Alec. "Well we might, so you could tell us anyways, if you would."

He smiled and sighed. "Well, you would have to go back to your old village…….."

I froze, and spoke softly. "Are there any other assignments?"

"I'm sorry, not right now. But, I could easily get Felix and Demetri to take care of it….."

"No, that's……. okay……. If it is okay with you, Brother."

"Yes, it is," he spoke through gritted teeth.

"Very well, children." Master Aro nodded. "We think there may possibly be some new born vampires around, so you need to……… take care of it."

We nodded and headed off to the village where we had been created.

Alec and I turned down the road that lead to the village, and I thought I saw movement through my peripheral vision.

"Alec, I think I saw someone over there." I pointed down an alley and walked over, only to find a new born vampire feeding on a human.

Her ravenous eyes looked up to mine, and she stood immediately. "Who are you?"

My brother then stepped in front of me, for protection, although he would never admit it. "We are members of the Volturi Guard…. And who are you?"

"I'm Elizabeth…… Why do you need to know?"

"Because we have orders to attend to…… Who created you?"

"I…… I don't know….. They just left me here and headed south……" Her voice was trembling, but I don't know if it was because of my brother's assertive tone, or fear of her creator. "I don't really remember where I'm from, or how I got here, or anything….. I just remember my name. That's all."

I stepped back by Alec's side, and I could hear a low snarl in his chest. "Are there any more of you? I mean, did your creator make any more of you?"

"No. Just me." She sighed and flicked her eyes quickly to the unfinished human.

"We will let you finish your feed, and then you will come with us," I said assertively.

She merely nodded and turned back to the ground as I walked away, my brother standing still, his back against the wall of the alley way where Elizabeth was. I looked to see if I recognized anything from the village that used to be my brother's and my own……. I honestly didn't. I didn't really expect to remember anything, after the thousand or so years. That's when I saw three crosses, tinted black from what I assumed was burning, and I turned away, wondering if they had left those same crosses there all those years, or if they were just crosses. I quickly turned away muttering about how stupid I was for accepting this assignment here.

Alec nodded as I walked back, and turned around to Elizabeth, who had just finished feeding. Alec motioned her to walk ahead of me, as he lead the way, me in the back, wondering about those crosses.
