It was about midnight in Volterra and as vampires, we don't sleep. Alec and Maria are training the newborns in Alec's arena. Aro and the other leaders are discussing something. They're planning something for tomorrow, I guess. Chelsea and Afton with Santiago and Corin are preparing themselves for tomorrow. It's a war. Tomorrow is a war.
I was with Demetri and Verena in my room. Demetri was watching the telly, instead of preparing himself for tomorrow. I sat next to Verena. She was drawing something and her eyes. Her eyes turned white. She was drawing something, but not looking at the paper with her eyes. What was she doing ? I have no idea.
I was staring at her. Demetri was so serious with the show that he's watching. Uh, I don't even care. Suddenly, Verena's eyes went back to normal.
"What are you staring at ?" She asked me with this 'stop staring at me or I'm gonna kill you' look.
I shook my head "Nothing, your eyes. They were, like white"
Verena chuckled "Yeah, it happens. When I touch a paper and a pencil and focus myself to draw something, my eyes changes color. I don't really know why it changes. Witches are weird, I must say"
I smiled as she confessed that her kind is weird.
"Jane, I wanna tell you a story. Do you mind ?" Verena smiled and asked.
I nodded "No. Not at all. I would love to hear some about witches" I answered.
She smiled again at me and began explaining "I actually regret for killing my parents. I had to kill them. I was forced" She paused and looked down to the floor and started talking again "Quentin forced me to kill them. He said they were lying. They were hiding everything. I loved my parents, I didn't want to kill them. I was going to cry when I killed my mother. She was amazing. I loved her so much. Quentin thought me this spell. And with just one finger snap, she's dead. I just can't forget the night when I killed my mother. It was the biggest mistake that I've ever made. I love Quentin, he was trying to make me feel like a witch, trying to grow the evil side of me. I had to do everything that he asked me to or he'll kill me. That's what he said. But everything changed, after Athena gone missing. Quentin is not that evil. He felt guilty about his sister. He thought that he failed. He thought that he can't protect her"
I frowned "Verena, I'm sorry. You seem really nice. You smiled a lot at me. And I'm such an evil girl, you don't even know how evil I am" I said.
"I don't care, Jane. I really like you. You seem nice, to me. Very nice. Do you mind if I continue ?" Verena asked.
"Sure. I would love to hear more" I said.
"Do you know that we're not just human with powers or abilities ?" Verena asked.
I didn't answer her question because I know she was going to explain more. Her story is really interesting.
"We're immortal too like your kind, Jane. Bullets and knives won't hurt us, just so you know. Witches are deadly fearless cold-blooded creatures. Don't underestimate us. You have to rip our head off first. But, there are some witches that are able to bring other witches back to life. Those spells are really hard to learn. I've been trying to study from Quentin, but I failed" Verena explained.
Demetri cleared his throat "Interesting story you got there, ladies" He said.
"You were listening to us ?" I asked him.
"I was" Demetri stood up and walked towards me and sat next to me on my bed "Thank goodness, my girl is not a witch"
"Good for you, Demetri. Witches are very powerful, even more than vampires, I guess. I'm not trying to show off or something, though" She yawned "Anyway, I need some sleep. I still have this human part of me. Mind if I sleep here ?" She asked me.
I shook my head "No, definitely not. Sleep well, I'm just gonna…" I wasn't finished, yet but Demetri cut me and said "She could sleep in my room, it'll be more romantic, yes love ?"
I rolled my eyes "We don't sleep, duh. I need to feed, Demetri. I'm going to the chamber. Good night, Verena" I said and gave her a smile.
I closed my room and walking towards to the torture chamber. After I feed, I went to Demetri's room and stayed there for a night. The next morning, we all gathered in the throne room and then after Aro gave us some instruction, we all went to the private jet and went to Singapore together. Caius and Marcus stayed in Volterra with some of the guards.
I wonder what that shield girl doing with those witches in Singapore. Poor Renata. She did that to save my ass. When we arrived in Singapore, we went straight to the witches' residence. I knocked the door and Michael opened it.
"Ah my favorite girl is here" Michael chuckled "Come in, Janie"
Verena gave Michael a smile and they hugged. Quentin smirked when he saw me.
"Good to know you're back. I guess, we can trust you and your coven now, little Jane" Quentin said and letting Renata go.
I gave him a quick smile and introducing some of the Volturi that came with me.
"Quentin, this is my leader. This is Aro" I introduced Aro to them "This is Corin and Santiago, and we have some other vampires outside. They're the newborns"
Quentin nodded "I'm impressed. Your coven seems like a really big coven, eh ?"
"Kind of" I said.
"Well" Aro held his hand as usual "Shall we go now ? We don't wanna waste our time,aren't we ?"
Quentin looked at Michael and Lilith then Verena, they all nodded in agreement "We shall, Master Aro" Quentin said and laughed softly.
The witches said that their residence is not that far away from their place. They were planning to use their vehicle but Aro said that it's not safe, so we decided to run. We brought the witches with us. It was really weird. Some of us were holding hand with the witches, to help them run. Lilith of course doesn't need our help, because she's a vampire.
We arrived in their castle.
"Now listen, we're gonna sneak in. Alec, you bring some of the newborns and go rescue the wives. Jane you come with Alec. You witches, do whatever you want. Just don't leave your scent and be sneaky. Corin and Santiago, you go kill some of their guards. Rip their head off" He paused "Alec and Jane, meet me at their throne room after you rescue the wives. Renata, I want you to follow the witches. Watch their back. Don't let any of those vampires touch them. Demetri, you come with me and Chelsea, you should come with Alec and Jane, after they rescue the wives, you bring them back to the witches' residence. Do not wait for me !" Aro ordered.
We all began to do our task that Aro just explained. I have no idea why Aro is being so overprotective to the witches. They all can protect themselves from those filthy vampires. They have those awesome spells, just like what Verena explained to me last night. Even they could bring someone back to life, if they're dead. I began to sense the smell of Sulpicia and Athenodora. I was going to follow their scent, but Alec stopped me.
"Wait sister, one of the guards is here" Alec said.
Suddenly, someone walked out from the cell where the wives are locked.
"Looking for something ?" She asked.
The asian vampire walking towards us and I stopped her with my pain. She groaned and fell to the ground. She was screaming "Make it stop !"
I poked Alec and he decided to rescue the wives. As soon as he found the wives, he brought the wives and lead them to Chelsea. I was still with this asian vampire, waiting for Alec to come back. When he came back, he asked me to stop the pain.
"Now, what should we do with you ?" Alec asked me. I gave him my evil smile and he nodded.
"First thing first, what your name ?" Alec asked the asian vampire.
"Wei Lun" she answered. She looks so pale. She begged Alec "Please just kill me. Don't make her give me the pain again, I can't take it anymore"
Alec chuckled "Look who's begging here" He turned his face to look at me.
"Don't make her see her own death, brother. It's gonna be horrible" I walked to Wei Lun and held her arms tightly as Alec began to use his power on her and blinded her.
She couldn't see anything now. Alec walked to her and smiled, twisting and pulling her head from her shoulders, then pinned it to the daggers in the wall, letting the venom drain. He lifted her body as it flails helplessly, he broke her arms so they do not try to strangle him as he impaled her on the spike. We left her body there and heading to Kerajaan's throne room.
I saw Aro and Demetri waiting in front of their throne room. Some of the guards are dead on Aro's hand.
I could hear Demetri said "They're here, Master"
Aro smirked and walking towards the throne room with me, Demetri and Alec following from behind.
Kerajaan stood up from his throne chair as soon as he saw us walking towards me.
"What do you think you're doing here ?" He asked Aro.
One of his guard tried to protect his Master but I stopped him and pained him. He fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
"Kanati !" Kerajaan yelled "Stop what you're doing to him, little lady"
"She's not gonna stop anything. You come with us, now. Your guards are dead. All of them. Well, not all of them. Alec, finish him" Aro ordered me.
I smirked as Alec stepped forward while Kanati is still screaming and groaning in pain. Alec pinned him under his boot.
I could hear a few bones crack.
His boot made contact with the cold marble floor as Kanati's skull is crushed completely.
"Hah !" Alec said and quickly moved to remove his head.
Aro smiled at me and Alec and turned to look at Kerajaan "Now, you're all alone. You come with me or I'm gonna rip your head off here"
Kerajaan nodded in agreement and we walked out from the castle. We all meet up in front of his castle. Chelsea is already with the wives at the witches' residence, said Renata. The witches seemed very satisfied. I have no idea what they just did.
"What are we gonna do with you, now ?" Aro asked all of us, talking about Kerajaan.
"If you don't mind, we would love to destroy his residence" Quentin said.
Aro nodded "Do it" He said.
Quentin smirked at the other witches and they all were holding hands together, started to say something. Something that I don't even understand. It must be one of their spells.
"Dhahran muk malam fiera, fia hu shi, shi morluan marchoch don dur kion. Ine boruk. Malam fiera Fia hu shiIr morluan marchoch don dur kione. Ki hir tolic. Dhahran muk malam fiera, fia hu shi, she morluan marchoch don dur kionef. Mir tolic, in del boruk !" said the witches.
Suddenly, the castle collapsed and everything destroyed. My jaw dropped when I saw that. The witches are freaking awesome, no kidding. They all smiled at us and there's nothing that Kerajaan can do. Aro is going to kill him soon.
"Great job" Aro smiled at the witches "Now, it's your turn. Jane ?" Aro called my name.
I nodded and gave pain to Kerajaan. And Aro didn't wait for him to feel the pain, he ripped his head off and threw it to the river near his castle.
"We're done here" Aro said "Let's go back to your place and bring the wives back to home"
We all ran back to the witches residence to pick up the wives. As soon as we arrived there, we said goodbyes to the witches and we thanked each other. It was great working with them.
I was about to walk out from the door and I heard Verena called my name
"Jane ?"
I turned around to look at her "Yes ?" I answered.
She walked to me and hugged me tightly. It was really awkward. I bet Alec and Demetri were laughing outside if they saw this. The only thing that I could do was hug her back.
"I will definitely miss you, little Jane" Verena said and then she let me go.
"Come back soon, little princess. I'll miss you" Michael said and then he smiled wide.
I nodded "I'll try to visit you guys, sometimes" I walked out from their door and gave them a quick smile.
"Wait, Jane" Quentin called my name "Here, take this. Thanks for helping us. Thanks for everything. You've been really nice to us. We'll never forget you" He gave me this charm bracelet.
"It was Athena's. I want you to keep it" Quentin said.
I nodded and wore the bracelet that he just gave me "Thanks a lot. I won't lose it"
We all ran back to our private jet and went to Volterra together.
"I saw some sistmance there, love" Demetri whispered to me when we're on our way back to Volterra.
I punched his arms "Shut up. Verena was sweet. They all were really nice to me" I said.
"Seems like everybody loves my Janie" Demetri said and he laughed softly.
I rolled my eyes and rested my head on his shoulder. I will never ever forget those great witches. And I'll keep this bracelet forever.
