*I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS, HONESTLY AT THIS POINT I DON'T. So in the last chapter, Jane and Alec were burning alive. When Jane saw the Volturi hovering she flipped. We finally discovered what happened to Demetri.

Chapter Ten: Awake…forever

Jane felt the burning finally began to disperse from her body, her throat ached from dehydration and screaming. She opened her eyes slowly. Taking in the room she was laying in. Was this what death looked like? Everything was so vivid, she'd never seen anything so clear. She looked at her arms. Not a single burn blemished them. Hmm. She thought. Maybe I really am a witch.

She licked her dry lips and attempted to sit up. She sat up so fast she should have been dizzy. She didn't really focus on it though, her throat was really killing her. If only someone would just bring her something to drink, she felt like she….

"Alec?" she whispered. She quickly got to her feet and ran towards her brother. She felt like she was going to cry as she stroked his face. How could death be so cruel? To keep Alec but let her live. "Oh, Alec," she murmured.

Alec's eyelids fluttered gently. Jane couldn't move. He was alive? His eyes snapped open. Jane gasped what was wrong with her brother? Why we Alec's eyes bright red?

"Jane," he whispered. "Your eyes are red."

Jane grinned weakly. "So are yours, big brother."

Alec sat up, his legs swinging off the edge of the table. Jane jumped up on the table beside him.

Alec looked around the room, "Where are we?"

Jane shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. But I'm super thirsty. I'm just waiting for someone to come in here."

Jane leaned her head against her brother's shoulder. Alec sighed. "Yea me too. Do you think it was the fire?"

Jane looked up at him with quizzical eyes.

Alec laughed quietly, "Our eyes, Jane. Do you think it was the fire?"

Jane shrugged. "Maybe someone will bring us a drink and some answers at the same time."

Alec laughed. Both of them sat straight up as the door opened.

A man drifted in. A black robe covering his body. He was extremely pale and had black hair. A slow grin spread across his face as he took in Alec and Jane's guarded expressions.

"Hello, children. My name is Aro. I'm guessing you might want an explanation."

Jane's eyes turned down into a glare, Alec was the one who finally spoke up. "Please, sir. My sister and I are thirsty."

Aro's grin spread across his face. "Of course, dear ones. I figured you would be."

Aro snapped his fingers. Two more guys walked in. A few scared people in their grasp. Jane and Alec threw a startled expression at Aro.

Aro simply gestured to the humans and whispered, "Enjoy." Then he and the other two left the room.

Alec and Jane exchanged a look.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

A little while later, Aro came back to check on Alec and Jane.

Alec stared at the floor. Jane stood by the door glaring. Two limp bodies lay at their feet. Blood all over their clothes.

Aro took it all in silently. "I see you haven't tried to leave. But I must say you've made a bit of a mess in here, darlings."

Jane turned her glare to his face, "Do you mind explaining what you've done to us now?"

Aro smiled, "Of course, dear child. You see, you were dying."

Jane sighed impatiently, "We know that part!" Alec's cool eyes glanced at his sister. Silently pleading for her to calm down.

Aro nodded, "Sorry, young one. We couldn't let you die. You both are too special, too powerful."

Jane and Alec exchanged confused glances.

"Right. You are now vampires. Welcome to the Volturi, children."

Alec shook his head. "What did you mean when you said we are too powerful?"

Aro sighed. "Did anything ever happen that you couldn't explain?"

Alec nodded.

Aro smiled. "For something like this to show up while your still human, it must be powerful. We are not sure what you can do."

Once again two vampires came in behind Aro. "These are a couple of my guard. They want to help you discover what you can do."

One of the vampires stepped forward his arms outstretched toward Alec, ready to grab him.

Jane hissed at the vampire. Her eyes slanting into the lowest glare she could manage. Her teeth glinting in the light.

The guard fell to the ground writhing in pain. Jane stood tall, her eyes never leaving the guard. She could even feel a sadistic smile spread across her face. Aro touched Jane's shoulder lightly. Jane broke her glare and turned toward him.

"You turned us into vampires. You forced blood on us without explanation. Now you want to split us up?"

Aro grinned. "Sorry, young Jane. How about I take you both to meet my brothers?"

Jane looked at her brother. Alec shrugged. What had they gotten into?

*Yea…..me and vampires do not mix. I was trying to figure out how to explain them drinking blood for the first time. And I just can't.
