"That will teach you!" said Feliciana against the vampire, she had kicked into the throne room. Feliciana turned around and smiled again, one of the vampires looked at her: "Attack them!" Feliciana loved her gift, therefore she made good use of it. The Volturi guards did not give up. "Grab them!" screamed a shrill voice, Feliciana recognized him as Caius. The entire guard came into action. In less than a second, they were surrounded. Feliciana looked around the circle. All vampires were ready to attack. Just Jane and Alec weren't in the circle, but they were ready to use their ability. One of them fell upon: her brother. She recognized him vaguely from her human memories. He was big, no huge! And his muscles were impressive. He walked towards her with another vampire, which she recognized as Demetri. Demetri Volturi. The famous tracker of the Volturi. Both vampires each took one arm and dragged her to the 3 leaders. Felix took her left arm and Demetri her right. They forced her to her knees. She didn't even struggled. Feliciana closed her eyes, this was the closest she had ever been to her brother in 990 years. Unlike Miranda, who tried to tear herself loose without success. "Keep your filthy hands off me, you bastard!" Miranda hadn't given up her fight and she used some not so feminine words. She kicked one of the vampires who was holding her - or at least tried - in a place where he surely would have felt it. Miranda resisted fiercely, until she suddenly started screaming in pain. She squirmed in the arms of the two vampires who were holding her. Miranda tried desperately to use her gift on Jane, but the terrible pain she felt prevented that. A few seconds ago she was still okay and now she experienced an unbearable pain. Feliciana knew why. She turned her head to the right and her suspicions were confirmed. Jane Volturi. The young girl that was one of the most powerful weapons of the Volturi and had the gift to let someone feel an excruciating pain. Half of the witch twins. Anger flared in her. "Stop it, blond witch!" Feliciana screamed, her voice full of anger. Nobody had the right to hurt her best friend, anyone who tried it would end up in ashes. Miranda and Feliciana had a band. They protected each other. But Feliciana could not kill Jane or she would end up in ashes. Jane hated her already, nobody but nobody scolded her. The word 'witch' brought painful memories up. She would torture the girl to madness! Jane looked away from Miranda ready to use her gift on the other girl. The smallest eye contact that Jane had made with Feliciana had big consequences. Feliciana smiled, knowing that her gift would work. Jane had no control anymore. Jane Volturi would pay because she had hurt Miranda. "Why don't you rip your own hand off, Jane?" spat Feliciana hateful. Alec smiled, the girl was crazy. Jane nodded, she clasped her hand around her other and pulled. A cry of pain escaped from her mouth. "Jane, no!" screamed Alec, his burgundy eyes full of horror. His sister had just ripped her own hand off. The feeling that Alec had, attraction, the feeling that she was special was completely gone! It was replaced with hatred. A burning hatred. "Stop! What does this mean?" Aro said, his voice compelling and furious. "I am very sorry Aro, all this commotion, the fighting, the torturing ...! Miranda and I just wanted to talk to you and you brothers." Feliciana said as politely as possible. "Talking! You break into the Volturi, you fight with the guard and let Jane rip her own hand off! You have brought your own death over yourself!" shouted Caius. He was furious. Feliciana clenched her jaw, to prevent that she would start screaming. "Talking, about what? What is so important that you break into the Volturi and attack us?" Aro was still furious. The 2 girls had guts, but they would pay for that! "Firstly, Aro, we have indeed broken into the Volturi, but if your guards had not attacked us, there was no problem. We tried to tell them that we only wanted to talk to you and your brothers, but they didn't listen. And second, there is an important reason that we took the risk to break in!" Aro listened to the explanation of the girl. Jane awoke from her hypnosis. She remembered everything again, how she had lost control over herself and how she had ripped her own hand off! Alec had her hand already attached back on her arm, the poison attached the wound together. Jane screamed and flew forward, she would murder the girl! Her brother grabbed her arm and pulled her against him. Aro had not given the order to murder the two vampires, but Alec wanted it. Nobody was allowed to hurt his sister. "And what would that major reason be?" Aro said, and curiosity welled up in him. Feliciana took a deep breath, even though she didn't need it and began to speak: "My name is Feliciana and my brother is a member of the Volturi." Aro frowned, he didn't recognized the girl. You could almost feel the curiosity that hung in the throne room. "And who might your brother be, Feliciana?" Aro was surprised, a girl claimed that her brother was a member of the Volturi. "Felix Volturi" she replied almost inaudibly. She felt the grip on her left arm tighten until it was almost painful. Her brother held her left arm. She heard him growl. Aro laughed. "Felix, Demetri let her go." said Aro, and he turned his attention back to Feliciana: "May I have your hand, my dear Feliciana." Feliciana had heard of Aro's gift: with a single touch he could read all the thoughts you've ever had. This was her chance, he would know that she was telling the truth. Her brother and Demetri let go of her arms. She stood back straight, and walked with slow steps to Aro. The entire guard was tense, and stood ready to attack if necessary. She stretched out her hand and put it into Aro's hand. Her memories flashed through Aro's head. A vague human memory attracted his attention: the girl and Felix, both in human form. A 27-year-old Felix hugged the 11-year-old girl. "Goodbye, sister." Then she didn't knew that it would be the last hug that she would ever get of her brother. Aro let go of Feliciana's hand and laughed excited. Feliciana thought it sounded weird. "It's true! Everything is true, brothers. They only came to talk to us, the guard attacked them first and she is Felix's sister. Felix I can introduce you: your sister Feliciana." Feliciana smiled. The truth finally came up! Whisper went round in the throne room. Demetri chuckled: "Who would have thought that Felix's sister would be beautiful. I thought she would be rather thick and would have warts!" Feliciana turned brute around and squeezed her eyes: "Do I look like I'm fat and have warts!" She growled at Demetri. He looked at her well: she was surely a pleasant appearance, just like her redheaded friend. Demetri stuck his hands in the air as a sign of defense. He nudged Felix in the ribs with his elbow and said with a grin: "Your sister has guts!" She hated it when someone talked about her appearance in a bad way. "Afton, Santiago, you can let Miranda go!" Aro said, and he pointed to the red-haired vampire. Afton and Santiago let Miranda loose, who immediately came right back. "About time!" She hissed. She kicked Afton against his shin-bone and hit Santiago in his face. They both growled. Miranda raised her chin haughtily in the air and came to stand beside Feliciana. Felix stared at Feliciana. Was she his sister? Her skin was the same olive undertone as his, and her hair was the same color black. "Dear Feliciana, why don't you explain to everyone what your gift is?" Asked Aro amused. He had seen evidence of her gift, and know what she could do, and how powerful her gift wasn't. Miranda was also talented. The plan to make them both members of the Volturi was already formed. They both would be a good addition. Feliciana smiled, on her guard. She didn't know where this was going. She began to speak: "My gift is that when I smile at someone, that person would do anything for me. My smile is a kind of magical. Call it hypnosis. I can also hypnotize someone without smiling, by just looking at the person but then my hypnosis is weaker." "How long can you hypnotize someone?" Aro was very curious. " If I smile: 10 seconds, but if I just look at the person without smiling 5 seconds. If I look at the person without smiling it is also easier to fight it. But if I hypnotize someone with smiling it is impossible to resist. " Aro smiled happy like a little child. "Hypnosis, what a special gift! Would you like to give a little demonstration, dear Feliciana." Feliciana turned around and smiled at Demetri. "Bark like a dog, Demetri." Demetri began to bark, or something that would resemble barking. Feliciana and Miranda giggled. Their giggles sounded like music. After 10 seconds, Demetri had the control over himself completely back. Laughter echoed in the throne room. Even Felix's mouth corners went up, and formed a smile. Demetri looked like he wanted to rip Feliciana's head from her body. "What a humiliation, Demetri!" giggled Feliciana. A 16 year old girl had humiliated him. She let him bark like a dog. He hated her gift: hypnosis. Aro clapped his hands: "Wonderful, what a great gift! And you Miranda? From Feliciana's thoughts, I understand that you are quite talented too!" Aro already knew what her gift was, but he just liked to show his future members. " I have the ability to implant a sensation of fear into others. My gift is mentally and it doesn't matter how big or how tough the person in question is." Miranda looked at Felix. Feliciana's brother was big and had something menacing about himself. Yet there was also something special about him, found Miranda. Something attractive. She looked at him defiantly, a look he answered. The girl - Miranda - was beautiful. She was tall and her legs were accentuated by her high heels and her short black dress. She had long straight hair that was as red as fire that hung on her back and had a ponytail. Her face was round and ofcourse pale. Her lips had a natural red tint. She had large dark red eyes, which stared at Felix. He winked at her, and her lips formed a smile. "Would you like to join the Volturi?" Aro's question came unexpected. Jane hissed furiously, a sign that they could better answer 'no' or else they would be killed. "That's a great honor, Aro! But must we decide immediately?" Feliciana's voice was as polite as possible, she was careful not to offend Aro. "Oh no, my darlings. Why don't you stay here for a few days, the honor is ours. We insist on it!" "What Aro! They broke into the Volturi, they must die!" Ofcourse it was Caius. "No no brother, they clearly expressed regret. Isn't it my dears?" Feliciana and Miranda both nodded. " That's settled then. Afton why don't you show our guests their room?" "Yes master." " Follow me please miss Feliciana, miss Miranda." Afton started to walk, Feliciana and Miranda followed quickly.
