Sorry about the lateness of this... Too much stuff happening here =/ Second last year of school and exams just don't mix! Also I just so happen to be on holidays so I had assumed I was going to update more... That is no longer true. A few days before the holidays I got set the biggest and hardest assignment that I have ever had... A week of holidays have gone by and I have yet to start it. It's due the I go back to school, so I now have a week to finish the biggest assignment I have ever recieved... Thanks for listening to my mini rant about Australian schools ( :


Felicity's POV

I learned about the 'family business' this morning and I have to say, I am scared stiff. I accidentally walked in on Dad, Grandpa, Pop, Mom and Alec engaging in the family 'business'. The scene replayed in my head over and over again and I shivered in fear.

I skipped down the hall joyfully, happy that a few days ago I was given a name. A real name! Felicity Lydia Laurence, I said in my head over and over again. Dad and Pop call me Faye and Alec calls me Filly. Mom sticks to Lydia, while Grandpa goes with Felicity. I love my name.

I decided to walk, or rather skip, to the throne room—or as I refer to it, my play room—because of my grand mood. I didn't want to teleport; I wanted to take in all of the exquisite details of the stone walls that were my home.

As I reached the door way to the throne room I grinned, knowing that I was going to see everyone in here. It had been 10 hours since I had seen any of them. What can I say? I love my sleep.

I opened the door, not knocking. I never knocked but I was starting to wish that I did. No one noticed me as I stood, confused on the marble floor.

"Jane." Ordered Grandpa in a cruel and cold voice. Mom smirked viciously at a man that was being made to kneel in front of the marble stairs that lead to the thrones. Felix and Demetri held the man down as he struggled to get away, as if he knew something bad was going to happen. It seemed that he was scared of Mom. How could anyone be scared of my Mom? She's harmless!

That thought and hope was shattered as my Mother began to glare as the man and he started screaming. I didn't understand what was happening. Mom was staring at him but it didn't seem like anything was hurting him… Then I got it. It's Mom's power. Who could possess something so horrible, let alone use it?

"Momma?" I whispered. She heard me and whipped her head my way. Our eyes connected and I screamed in pain. It was pure agony and I fell to the ground screaming and crying. I couldn't take my eyes off of hers, try as I might. The pain was worse than anything in the world. It felt like there was an infinite amount of swords repeatedly being shoved into my body and twisting in the same movement. These swords would have been covered in flames and acid and all things horrible and torturous.

"JANE!" Screamed Dad. Alec leapt at Mom and tackled her to the ground, breaking our eye contact. It had only been about 3 seconds since Mom had looked at me, but it felt like a million years. The pain still emanated from my body in such an excruciating way.

Mom hurried over to me, ignoring the man for now. I looked at her wide eyed and scurried away from her, on my back so I could watch her, doing a crab walk of sorts. I hit the wall with a thump, not noticing seeing as I was scared out of my wits.

"Baby, I'm so sorry!" Mom's voice cracked and she looked like she would cry is she could. My two Grandfathers came rushing over along with my Dad and Alec. I couldn't bear to see or talk to any of them. They had just stood there watching that man get tortured like it was nothing. In fact a few of them looked quite amused!

As they came closer I teleported to my room, running and locking all the doors. I also barricaded them just in case they could through the locks. I ran to my bed and shoved my face in the pillows, just laying there crying.

All five of them tried getting into my room. Pounding on the doors, trying to break the locks, trying to sooth me and get me to talk. None of it worked. After a day or so they decided I either wasn't in here and I had teleported somewhere else or that I would come out when I was ready. Even some of the guard tried to get me to come out and so did Dad's wife, Athenodora and Grandpa's wife, Sulpicia. Pop's wife, Didyme, died a while ago. She was Grandpa's sister too. I wish she hadn't died. She sounded brilliant; I wish I could have met her. She had the power bring joy to anyone close to her. Kind of like Jasper's power, but limited to the emotion of joy.

I finally decided to go and talk to my family, after getting over the shock I decided they should have a chance to explain. I teleported outside my room and slowly dragged my feet to the throne room, not knowing what to expect. When I arrived I knocked on the door which was a first for me. I never knock on doors. Ever. But I think I have learned my lesson. Sometimes there is just stuff that you do not want to see.

Chelsea opened the door. She's part of the guard.

She gasped upon seeing me. "FELICITY!" She picked me up in a hug and spun me around. Chelsea was fond of me; the only guard so far that wasn't very fond of me was Renata. Renata was Grandpa's personal guard against physical attacks. Unless with me she rarely left his side or at least the room he was in.

"Felicity? Felicity, I'm so sorry, baby! I didn't mean to hurt you!" Mom gushed. I stretched my arms out to her and she took me off of Chelsea. I dug my face into the crook of her neck, some small tears falling out of regret for not talking to them in so long.

I was passed from person to person, the guard included, until I had been given a hug by everyone except Renata.

"Felicity, we've got to explain about what happened the other day." Grandpa said. Dad sent all the guard except Demetri and Felix out of the room.

"You see, we're the Volturi." Said Pop.

"The Vol-whatty?" I asked tilting my head to the side and scrunching my face up in confusion.

"We're the law of the vampire world basically." Said Daddy.

"We protect our secret from humans and punish anyone who threatens to expose our secret." Mom said.

"That's why we had the guy." Felix cut in.

"He was killing humans in a way that was threatening to expose us and we couldn't have that. We'd all get hunted down. No vampire would be safe." Alec murmured, just loud enough to be heard by my sensitive hearing (no where near as good as a vampire's though).

"I didn't mean to hurt you, sweetie. I was punishing that man and when you called me I got distracted and looked at you while I was still using my power."

We all talked for a while longer, the concepts of the Volturi being explained to me in a way that I could understand. The way it was being explained made everything they do seem okay. Even though they kill other vampires and torture them, when you think about it, it's nothing compared to what would happen if they didn't kill the vampire and our secret got out. What's one vampire's life to thousands of them? And I'm sure the humans and other creatures wouldn't be too kind if they captured us.

I was kind of happy to know about the 'family business' now. It seemed… cool. Like the mafia of the vampire world, but the good mafia. No killing in vain, just to protect our species. Mom and Dad promised that when I got older, probably with the body of about a four or five year old, I would be able to join them. For now I would watch them, see how everything is done and then we would find a very helpful use for my teleportation! I was excited about joining them, I can't wait!

Dad told me that he found something out. He had said it with such a big smile on his face that I almost starting jumping and squealing to get him to tell me faster. What Dad told me was that I will stop aging when I'm seven. I'll look to be seventeen years old. That comes to about growing two and a bit years old each actual year I'm alive! So that means that next year I can be a part of the Volturi! After Daddy had told me this, I couldn't stop grinning.

Jane's POV

I still haven't forgiven myself for hurting my baby girl. She has and everyone else has, I don't know if I can.

We found a use for Felicity's teleportation power. It turns out she can teleport groups of people anywhere we ask. We found this out a few days ago when Alec and Felicity were playing together, Alec had picked her and wouldn't put her down, teasing her that he wasn't going to let her go because he didn't feel like it. Felicity couldn't get out of Alec's playful but vice like grip and decided that her only method of escape was teleportation.

She tried to teleport and if worked. As I was watching them I expected Felicity to teleport. What I didn't expect was for them both to disappear. I was bewildered on what had happened, but when they both teleported back, Alec looked just as confused, but insanely impressed. We all were. Caius, Marcus, Aro and I. Even the guard was.

We've tested out her group teleporting skills a few times, all times worked successfully, but what I found funny was that Aro got very dizzy after each teleportation and nearly fell over himself each time we reached our destination, his feet not finding the ground to his liking as he claims. We all joke that his feet may not like the ground, but it would seem that his butt does. Aro found it amusing though, but only because it made Felicity laugh like a maniac.

I was playing with Felicity in the throne room where we usually liked to play. Marcus, Caius and Aro were here too and we were playing tag. We didn't find it fair that she had teleportation.

"Lydia! Would you stop teleporting? It's not fair!" I pouted, laughing at my own silliness.

"Nope! You guys have super dooooooper speed and I don't, so I can use my gift!" She grinned at me giggling, knowing for a fact that she won the argument.

"Why you little rascal!" I chuckled running after her rapidly teleporting body.

Felicity's POV

I was giggling and running away from Mom… Well teleporting is probably the more accurate word for what I'm doing.

I decided to give Mom a chance at catching me so I stopped where I was and waited for her to turn around and see me. She finally saw me after scoping the whole room looking confused, as if I had teleported into another part of our home.

She grinned when she saw me, her face lighting up and she ran towards me her blonde hair swaying, her red eyes twinkling thinking she could actually catch me.

Her eyes met mine properly as she was running towards me from across the room and time slowed down. I was surrounded by different scenarios. They were like little movies playing all around me. Some were good and happy, others were… horrific to say the least. I looked at one of the horrific ones. It involved Mom being restrained while some people, I think it may have been the Cullen's or even the wolf pack, were torturing me. Blood dripped from my body and Mom and I were both screaming in agony.

I looked at one of the happier ones. Mom and I were running through a lush green field dotted with beautiful flowers. The sun was shining down on us heavily, Mom sparkling like thousands of diamonds made us her skin, whilst my skin only had a slight shimmer to it. The rest of the Volturi was there and we looked like a true family, just out on a family day out.

The one that caught my attention the most was a horrific one. It may not have been as gruesome as the other one, but it was the most painful. We, the Volturi, were in a clearing. I recognized it to be the clearing out the back of the Cullen's house. The Cullen's were there too and so were the wolves. Felix and Demetri were holding back Mom whilst Caius and Marcus were holding back Alec. Aro was giving the Cullen's something. That something just so happened to be me. I was being given back to the Cullen's. Oh, God no.

I decided to look closer at it to see what was happening. I was about 8 years old and was being given back to the Cullen's and wolves. Mom and Alec were trying to get to me but they were being held back. They were both screaming for me and it was heart wrenching. Edward took me into his arms smiling sweetly when suddenly his sweet smile turned malicious and he threw me to the ground, kicking me repeatedly. Aro just smiled kindly at Edward and watched me get hurt. The wolves disappeared and then the Cullen's, Edward and I were the only ones left. The Volturi slowly walked into the fog, Mom and Alec screaming and kicking trying to get to me the whole time. They disappeared into the fog too. Aro was last to go and he smiled, saluting Edward and then he disappeared too.

Edward looked at me, malevolence glinting in his eyes. I screamed a blood curdling scream.

This one… I thought and before I could even finish the thought time went back to normal. Mom wasn't chasing me though, instead she was on the ground, screaming in terror. I realized what I just witnessed. Those scenes that I just saw…

They were my Mom's biggest fears and happiest dreams…
