Aro's Pov.
What a scent! Heidi has chosen someone with delicious blood. This human's blood smells sweet and mouthwatering. But I can tell this human has power. Its blood tells all.
The doors opened and I smiled at what Heidi has brought us. "Welcome to Volterre Tower!" I said to them.
Two of the guards quickly closed the doors and locked them. That's when the screaming started and the smell of blood growing stronger. I scanned the feeding looking for the human with that powerful blood. Looks like Alec found her before I did.
But he could not touch her. The girl stared at him and then looked around. Everyone was confused on why no one could touch her. Then the girl looked right at me.
She took a piece of very old paper out of her pocket and looked at me than at the paper.
I looked at her and said to the others "Leave her be for the moment."
When everyone got out of her way I got up and walked to her.
She looked at me and whispered, "Lord Volturi?" How she knows my old name from my human life, I have no clue.
I smiled at her and said, "Please. Call me Aro. And how, may I ask, do you know me?"
I tried to grab her hand but it was like a wall was between us. Only know did I pay attention to her appearance. She couldn't be a vampire. She had human blood. But maybe her soon to be power has started to work for her in her human form.
I felt the wall drop and she handed me the old piece of paper to me. It was a drawing of me from a time when I was human.
"I know you because of that drawing and a letter from my great great grandmother from who knows how many centuries ago." She said in a hushed voice.
I looked at her confused and a big surprise came from her lips.
"I guess you can't remember much from your human life. But Aro . . . I might just be your great great granddaughter." She said.
I grabbed her hand and all her thoughts came to me. Another species! One that even vampires didn't know exists. A very powerful race and yet they let the humans have the world. I wanted to know more but then her hand just passed right through my hand.
I looked up at Echo in amazement. She was in her shadow form. She looked like you could touch her but if you tried you would pass right through her.
Echo's skin was a dark gray and blackness outlined her body and her hair was a black wisp. Her black eyes covered all the white and you would think she was dead.
"How wonderful!" I said. "A powerful clan species and one is my great great granddaughter!"
I remember only the last bit of my human life. My last few weeks with the love of my life. I had made her pregnant and promised to marry her before anyone found out. But then a vampire attacked me and turned me.
I ran from my home. Scared that my love would reject me and/or fear me.
Echo must be my great great granddaughter.
"So you do remember my grandmother? You remember your human life?" Echo said.
I grinned at her and nodded. "I will never forget her. I just regret leaving her. I thought she would hate a vampire. But she was immortal too wasn't she?" I said.
Echo nodded with a smile. "Yes. But I don't know how long she lived or if she's even alive today." She said.
"Father, what is she? And why are you the only one who can touch her?" My dear Jane said.
I turned to her. "Echo is a Shadow Girl. A citizen of the Shadow People of the Dark Lands. They have so much power. They might just be more powerful then us." I said and saw Echo smirk. She knew that she and her kind were more powerful.
"You couldn't touch me because I didn't want you to. And you can stop trying to hurt me . . . I said stop! Stop or I'll turn it back on you!" Echo yelled at Jane.
"Jane, I would advise you to stop. You don't know what power she has." I said smiling.
Jane looked away from Echo. They looked cross with each other and I was so hoping that they would get along.
Jane's Pov.
I'm so annoyed! How many people in this world am I not allowed to hurt? This is not fair!
But I didn't withdraw my power because Aro told me to. I withdrew my power because I knew she could turn my power on me. I could just feel a sliver of pain and she was letting it grow, not stopping until I stopped.
I wanted to try again but then I saw the shadows moving from the corner of my eye. I looked at them and they were moving like they were alive.
I saw Echo smile, "Looks like Fate and Mica wanted to meet you too." She said.
That's when the shadows started to form into a human. They turned into human girls, but in one second they turned to whatever form Echo was in.
The only way I could tell them apart was their facial expressions. The smallest one had a snarl. The one close to Echo's height had eyes that were distant. And Echo had readable facial expressions.
"Grandfather, you should know already about Fate and Mica. And their powers." Echo said.
Aro nodded and smiled. "My I?" He said to them holding both his hands out to them.
The snarling girl looked at Echo in confusion but the distant one instantly grabbed Aro's hand. I saw Aro flinch. I've never seen him flinch. What did he see?
"I'm sorry if you saw something you didn't want to see. But my visions have a mind of their own. You must have se-" The distant girl stopped and fell to the floor.
The girl turned into her human form and was shuddering in pain. Everyone looked at me.
"Hey I didn't do it." I said. Aro shook his head. "No you didn't." He said.
Echo turned into her human form and kneeled on the floor. She put the shuddering girl's head on her lap and rubbed her arm.
"I'm sorry but we have no control for Fate's visions. They come when they want. I'm just glad that it isn't one of the fire visions she's been having lately." Echo said.
Fate's shuddering had become more violent and the other Shadow Girl (I think her name's Mica.) went to her human form so she can keep Fate from trying to knock out Echo.
"I'm sorry Grandfather but we'll have to catch up later. This vision of Fate's is a terrible one." Echo said shuddering. I know she just read Fate's mind. She had a look of knowing.
"That's all right Granddaughter. We'll talk later when your friend is well." Aro said. And with that the girls turned into their shadow forms and slid into the shadows back to wherever they came from.
