"They're here!" Alice announced softly. Groaning inwardly, Kitty flopped down on the couch as Carlisle held open the door for the visitors. Aro took the seat across from Kitty, while both Carlisle and Jane stood at the edge of the room. Aro held out his hands and Kitty knew he wanted to see her mind. She hesitated, reviewing what Carlisle had said to her, "Don't try to block his powers, Kitty, the more of the truth he knows, the better. Kitty closed her eyes and placed her right hand in Aro's outstretched palms.
Aro smirked. "Afraid my dear?" shaking her head, Kitty opened her eyes.
Jane smiled at her. "Well, you should be," she murmured pleasantly.
Kitty ignored her and looked into Aro's scarlet eyes. "I don't deny killing those girls."
"No?"
"No. I'm not proud of what I did. I'm not proud that I left the bodies for some janitor to find, but what's done is done. I can't change that."
Aro smiled "I can see that you're a very interesting girl and your powers are quite well developed for a newborn. It would be a pity to waste such talent."
Jane cocked her head. "Oh well."
Kitty screamed, she felt as if her bones were all breaking, her skin was on fire/ The pain was too much. "STOP!STOP!" she yelled at the top her lungs.
"Yes," a soft voice broke through the veil of agony. "Do stop, Jane." the pain stopped instantly and Kitty scrambled to her feet, glaring at the Volturi female, who smiled back at her.
"Katrina" Aro turned Kitty's head towards him with his left hand. "It's only too obvious that those humans weren't killed by either animals or their own kind. They will turn to us. Do you understand?"
"Yes," Kitty hissed through clenched teeth.
"So, Aro said, leaning forwards. "What are we going to do about it?"
Kitty tilted her head saucily. Ignoring Carlisle's look of warning, she took a step forwards fro the sofa. "What are my options?"
Jane chuckled and moved towards her. "Well, one, you hunt more conspicuously. Tow, you hunt only animals. Three-" she ran her finger over her neck in a cutthroat motion.
Kitty started for a moment and then choked out "I see."
"Which do you choose?" Aro asked.
"Not three." she replied distantly and got an appreciative chuckle from everyone but Jane.
"Two," Kitty muttered, stealing a glance at Carlisle.
"No worries," Carlisle said as he escorted the Volturi to the door. "We'll keep our eyes on her."
"I should hope so." breathed Aro before shutting the door.
