I do not own Twilight. I only own Diana.

Story Start

Walking into the throne room was more nerve wracking than I ever thought it would be, but I did feel a little comforted that Alec and Jane were right there with me. Jane gave my hand an encouraging squeeze before she released my hand so Alec and I could walk closer to the three thrones. I tried not to be nervous but I would be lying if I said I was completely calm.

"My dear, you look absolutely perfect," Aro said as he stood from his chair and walked towards Alec and me. He gave a little smirk to Alec before smiling at me. "I see your change went well. How do you feel?" he asked me.

Steeling my nerves, I looked up at Aro and said, "I feel different but in a good way, slightly hungry too." I made sure that my tone was polite since this man was now one of my leaders in this coven. I didn't know much about Alec or Jane, but I didn't want to be separated from them especially now that I was a vampire. There would be nowhere else I could really go, and if Alec was my mate then I at least wanted to give both of us a chance to get to know each other.

"Slightly hungry, cute," Aro said softly before laughing in excitement. "Well then let's get you something to eat and then I would love to see what your power is. I know it must be something wonderful if Alec is your mate," he continued and he motioned for me to go stand at the wall with Alec and Jane.

I bowed my head before walking over to go stand between Alec and Jane, who seemed to relax a bit when I stood between them. Alec gently grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze before leaning over to tell me that I should just let my instincts take over after the leaders gave the signal. My body was shaking with excitement as my hunger grew and I could smell something amazing heading towards the throne room.

My heart dropped when I saw a group of humans being led into the room by another vampire. My bad feeling slowly disappeared as my hunger took over all thought. Aro stood from his throne to welcome all of the humans, and then he gave all of us a smirk before shouting that we could begin. Everything went so fast after that. I didn't even realize I was draining the blood from a terrified man until I had almost drank all of his blood. I dropped the dead man on the ground and looked around at all of the carnage around me. It was strangely beautiful.

I watched transfixed as Alec killed a teenager before he noticed me looking at him. He sent me a smirk as he walked straight for me, ignoring everything as he approached me. My heart would have been beating out of my chest if it still was able to beat. The look in his eyes froze me in place until I felt his hand gently touch my cheek.

"Beautiful," he whispered before gently kissing my lips and then turning to look at all of the carnage in the room. "You did well," he told me as he led me out of the room and to a nearby washroom. He let me go into the bathroom by myself.

I was frozen in front of the mirror when I saw how much blood was on my face and neck. I looked down at my hands and they were covered in blood too.

"You'll get used to it," Jane's voice filled the bathroom and I saw her reflection in the mirror. She was standing behind me with only a hint of blood on her lips, which she quickly licked off. "You did well, but you'll be neater with time. Clean up and then the masters would like to see your powers," she said and I saw a hint of encouragement in her eyes before she left the bathroom and I heard her greet her brother.

"Ok Diana, clean up and just keep going with the changes," I told myself before cleaning off my face, hands, and neck. I took a deep breath to calm myself down even though I didn't need to breathe at all.

Alec and Jane were both waiting for me at the bathroom door, and Alec held my hand as we walked back to the throne room, which was now entirely clean of blood and dead bodies. For some reason, I wasn't as tense as I first was when I entered the room. I looked up to see Caius and Aro looking at me, while Marcus was looking off into the distance.

"Now then my dear, let's see what your power is. Felix is going to try to attack you and I want you to use whatever power you have to stop him," Aro explained as calmly as he could, but I could hear the giddiness in his voice.

Alec and Jane backed away from me after giving me another encouraging look or smile, and then I was facing the most muscular looking vampire in the room, who I guessed to be Felix.

"Hey newbie, ready?" Felix asked with a smirk and he charged towards me.

Everything slowed down when I watched him head towards me. All I could think of was stopping him and making him drop to his hands and knees and not move. My vision had to be lying to me when I watched Felix immediately freeze in the air and drop down onto his hands and knees. He started growling with me as he tried to move, but he could not move out of his place.

"Extraordinary," I heard Aro mutter as he left his throne and walked over to touch my hand. "You're completely controlling all of his movements," he said after he released my hand. "Think of Felix doing something else," he ordered me.

I looked down at Felix and a smile crossed my face. I imagined him standing up, walking over to one of the other vampires in the room, and hugging them. A giggle escaped me when I watched him do just that. A yelp escaped me next when Aro picked me up and hugged me, which broke my concentration on Felix, who immediately stopped hugging the vampire.

"My dear, you have a beautiful and powerful gift," Aro cheered before setting me down and letting me go. "Such a beautiful gift," he said softly before smiling at the rest of his coven. "Everyone please welcome our new member, Diana, Alec's mate," he said and a cheer rang throughout the room as Alec came to stand by me.
