Au: Sorry for the small chapter, I'm currently very busy and I just felt like I had to update at least a little something =) Next Chapter will have some JanexAro intimacy, I promise.
Part of Humanity
III
Alec smiled meaningfully at her but somehow this didn't made Jane feel at ease. The screams of the male who stood in the middle of the room made her ears ring.
She smiled an awkward smile back at her twin. He looked at the victim again. This time it was Caius who stood a few feet in front of his throne and looked at the small amount of vampires gathered there. Their victim burning in their midst.
"Let this be over with quick." The albino vampire stated as Renata appeared behind him carrying a letter. The look on her face indicated that she was worried. Caius took the letter and paced back to his throne where he sat down upon and started reading.
All the vampires remained silent as they watched the remaining pieces of their victim burn.
Jane couldn't understand why she felt this awkward feeling inside of her. This was the second infected vampire that she had seen to be put to death and somehow it felt wrong to see him burn. Just like it had when the woman had been put to death. She licked her dry lips and glanced at the clock. Normally this was the time that they were being fed with some tourists but Marcus had ordered to cancel their trip as soon as it had been announced that there was another victim of the human disease.
"It is starting to get a little dangerous now. This was number five in Italy alone."
Jane quickly turned her head to hear Athenodora whisper to Demitri who didn't reply to her and kept his eyes fixed on the remains of their subject.
Jane frowned and wondered about the seriousness of it all. Her eyes drifted back to the throne where Caius was now frowning as he was reading the letter. Then he placed the letter aside and seemed to think hard of something. All the while he was stroking his own chin. Jane's eyes drifted to Marcus, who was gesturing for the assembled vampires to leave, before they settled upon Aro.
The leader of the Volturi was staring back at her with his red eyes.
If Jane had still be a human she would have swallowed and taken a step backwards at the intense stare she received from the male but since she was a confident vampire she pretended that the look in his eyes didn't affect her.
"Jane?" Alec suddenly stood next to her and pulled at her sleeve to catch her attention.
"Hmm?" The stare was broken and Jane looked at her brother instead.
"What do you think?"
Jane frowned. "I think Caius is worried."
Alec nodded. "I think so as well. The look in his eyes betrays it all. I wonder what would have been written in that letter." A mischievous spark in his eyes told Jane everything she needed to know and she grinned back at him.
"Deal." The twins didn't need words to show their intentions towards each other. "He'll be busy with Athenodora around twelve. Marcus and Aro will be out."
Jane nodded. "Yes." She complied.
The twins looked meaningful at each other for another few seconds before they both smirked.
"Who wipes up the remains?" Jane finally said to break the silence.
"You?" Alec grinned.
But another vampire was already swiping the floor. Jane looked over at him.
"Gino." She grinned now as well.
The vampire known as Gino looked up at her with darkened eyes and Jane gave him a warning look. She knew he could overhear all conversations at the same time and that he must have heard her discussion with Alec. He smiled wearily before returning to his task.
Jane smiled at Alec again and he nodded.
"See you later." He dashed off.
Jane licked her lips again and wondered when they were going to eat.
