Hanna shot out of bed, sweat clinging to her limbs. She reached out as though she knew someone was there. Of course, no one was. Hanna curled into a ball and quiet sobs ripped themselves from her chest.

She had lived for over 700 years, and had met so many people, and yet so many things had happened to ruin her, to crumble every last ounce of life she had left.

What was the point of living like this? Why would you go through years and years of this pain? Why wouldn't you want to live just one cycle and be done with it?

Hanna was sucked into another memory, only longer then the others.

-

Her feet slapped against the cold, cement floor, her legs carrying her hurriedly towards the large doors in front of her. The doors were slammed open by an invisible force. Aro stood before Hanna, the gleeful grin on his face vanishing once he saw Hanna's face.

"Hanna dear, whats wrong?" He asked.

"How could you?" Hanna yelled, anger and grief staining her words.

"How could I what?" He asked innocently. He knew exactly what he had done.

Hanna hadn't stopped her walking, and now stood just an inch away from Aro. The same force that had slammed open the doors threw Aro back. The other vampires in the room lunged for Hanna. With one look, anyone who got too close went up in flames.

"You know what you did! How could you kill Theo? He was my brother." Hanna now whispered, her voice shaking with tears. Somehow, this was scarier then her yelling and screaming.

"He was interrupting with our plans for you, Hanna. He believed that all we did was evil and that The Volturi had to be killed off. We keep the peace in the human world we share. Hanna, you must understand this much at least."

"No, I don't understand. I don't understand why you had to kill my brother! What were your plans with me, Aro? Did you really believe that I would help any of you with anything at this point? After you killed my brother?" Hanna's voice cracked several times.

"Very well. You will have to be kept-" Aro began innocently.

"No. I will not be locked up anywhere. I'm leaving tonight, and you wont expect to see me for a while. If you send anyone after me Aro, I'll kill them." Hanna turned on her heel and swept herself from the room, ashes being kicked up as she went.

Vampire venom is very flammable, so all you have to do is set a fire up in their chest and let it burn. Then all was left were soft ashes that would go with the wind.

Hanna had powers that no one had heard of. She could create fire from nothing, she could transport herself, switch bodies with the living, and use the force of her will against other, thus the invisible force that had pushed things away.

Hanna transported herself to Egypt, sitting on the very top of the Sphinx.

-

Hanna sighed a sigh of relief when the memory was over, but jumped when she noticed the shadow move across the room. There was nothing there.

Relief again swam through Hanna, though if there was nothing there, then there was nothing to make a shadow move in the first place.

Hanna pulled her knees up to her chest and tried to control her emotions, tears running marathons down her cheeks.

Hanna was surprised when she woke again, Tanya and Alex were hovering worriedly.

"Whats wrong guys?" Hanna asked.

"Well, other then the fact that you've been asleep for 3 days straight, we smell vampire in your room." Tanya said, a smile gracing her lips.

"I've been asleep for 3 days?" Hanna processed slowly, her brain still foggy from sleep.

"And a vampire has been in your room." Alex explained patiently.

"Is it normal for me to sleep this long?" Hanna got up and stretched, her joints and muscles screaming with the pleasure of moving.

"Yeah, but usually you sleep for just a day." Alex explained.

"Ah. So, what about a vampire being in my room?" Hanna asked, still sleepy.

"Just that. There has been a vampire that visits every night. We haven't been able to catch them though." Tanya said. It was sort of creepy how Tanya and Alex knew what to say at the right moment.

"Oh. Well, it's no big deal right? I mean, if they meant me harm, they would've already caused it. If they wanted me dead, I wouldn't be talking to you guys. So, why fuss over it?" Hanna asked.

"Hanna, did you get all your memories?" Tanya asked, changing the subject easily.

"Yeah. My life has pretty much sucked," Hanna commented. "Though, there have been some good things that have happened."

"I'm glad you see it like that. If you'd like, you can go out. You wont black out, since you've received your memories." Alex chuckled as Hanna jumped out of bed and scuttled over to her closet, her dead feet stomping on the floor.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?" Tanya laughed.

"School. I actually miss it." Hanna grinned as she finished getting ready.

"Okay, just make sure you're home by 2 in the morning, okay?" Tanya suggested. So, they did notice when Hanna came home at the slim hours of the morning.

"Yeah, sure. Love you guys," Hanna envisioned herself at the school, and without closing her eyes, was there.
