Chapter 2: Who do you think you are?
Jane stormed down the corridor. Helpless bystanders swore they could hear movie battle music when she threw others against the walls. Those were the lucky ones. If they tried to run she would stare at them unleashing her mental pain on them. Just before Jane could throw another low-level vampire, Adede with her springy curls appeared in front of her.
"Jane what are you doing?"
"Go away grasshopper it's none of your damn business." Jane placed her hand on Adede's forehead and pushed the little girl down into the stone floor. She didn't know why she did that. Yes Adede annoyed her but it was a bit harsh. She shook her head trying to empty her guilty conscious. Jane volturi NEVER felt guilt. She would not let some guy whose smile reminded her of the Cheshire cat and kissed her change her personality. Who did he think he was? How could he just talk to her like that and kiss her? That man there was a womanizing playboy. He was rude and he talked to her like they were familiar. Jane kicked down the large wooden doors of the library and began pushing over tables and carts of books.
"Gosh this just de ja vu again isn't it. First I storm from Marcus telling me to stop pushing guys away and get with someone. Now I have this rude and arrogant guy kiss me. And I'm back again fuming." She said to herself. lazily she flopped herself on one of the tables grabbing some magazines. She began ripping little tiny tears slowly. She imagined kartik being slowly ripped apart like a piece of paper. If anything could make her better it was imagining painful ways to kill others. Even if it was just in her head it gave her some satisfaction. Once all the magazines were ripped into such small pieces that they slipped through her hand like fine sand was she interrupted. A weak servant stood meekly in the doorway.
"A-Aro w-wants t-t-o s-see y-you." He stammered out softly. He had obviously seen and heard Jane's warpath of destruction.
"whatever." Jane waved him away deciding he was too weak to even bother with. She hopped off the table brushing her pants and shirt of the magazine dust. Whatever Aro wanted she didn't really have patience for. If he was drunk again she would be pushed to the edge for the third time this day. Jane took her sweet time to the throne room. When she entered it was obvious Aro was done dealing with Jane for the next few days.
"Jane my pet, I do not think it takes you that long to walk from library to here?"
"Dear master, I don't think it would kill you to wait one dang second." Everyone in the room was taken aback. From his throne, Caius with hoarse voice complained "Oh dear so much for a quiet afternoon." He face palmed himself. Aro's pale face began turning red from his building anger.
"JANE YOU WILL NOT MAKE ME WAIT! I HOPE YOU DO REALIZE JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE ONE OF MY FAVORITES DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT! YOU CAN BE DISPOSED OF AND YOU WILL IF YOU CONTINUE LIKE THIS! THE DAMGE YOU DID TO CASTLE I WANT YOU TO APOLIGIZE AND YOU ARE NOT TO BE DISRESPECTFUL TO ANYONE. I WILL PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE IF I NEED TO!" Jane was silent looking to the ground. It had been like he had slapped her. "do you understand" He whispered still filled with anger. His hands shook trembling he came up to her when she didn't answer. Jane looked up into Aro's cold red eyes. "do you understand?" he hissed. Not giving her time to answer he grabbed her neck slamming her down to the cold marble floor. Her breath rushed out . Still with his hand around her neck he whispered in her ear.
"you are disposable. I can get rid of you just like that. Never forget your place. You are nothing" Aro walked away back into the hallway that lead to the tower. Jane continued to lie on the floor. Her eyes were shocked. When she got up she was in a daze. Entering the shared living room of the guard wing she found everyone sitting there. They all looked up unsure what to do.
"what are you looking at?" Jane yelled distressed. Alec jumped up from his spot between Afton and Santiago to help his sister. He looked concerned at her neck. They still shared their pain. Jane tried to walk away but alec grabbed her shoulder and hugged her. Only her brother truly knew her pain. They both walked together back to Jane's room. Jane sat on her bed waiting as alec grabbed her brush and took out her pony tail. She remained silent as alec carefully brushed her Blonde hair.
"Jane what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong."
"I know you're much smarter than the Jane a few minutes ago. What happened." what was a question seemed more like a demand.
"Marcus asked me if I felt jealous that you had found someone you loved. He told me I should try finding someone or at least not kill, maim, or seriously injure any guy that talks to me."
"that might not be a bad thing." Jane glared at her brother.
"you killed a guy who asked you if you have any gum. If you didn't want to give him gum you could've said you didn't have any. But Nooooo you had to go cray cray up on his butt and kill him." Alec said imitating Heidi and the weird terms she used. He even copied her irritating diva hand snap. Jane tried to stop the laugh building up in her by thinking of kartik. Her happiness was immediately stopped by the thought of the kiss. She readjusted herself so her legs hung off the side of the bed.
"And after Marcus talked to me this rude and arrogant guy talks to me like he knows me. It's just raining douche bags today." Jane slumped her head down onto the covers. Alec stopped brushing her hair and got up. Turning her head she saw Alec walk out and come back with a bucket. In an instant Jane was clinging to the curtains far out of reach of any flying water.
"Jane come down. You're not an effin' cat plus there's no water in here. I just wanted to get you up and stop your moping." Jane slipped down the curtain. Tossing the bucket back, Alec held both of Jane's shoulders. "Hey whatever happened, just be yourself Jane…" he paused thinking back on his words "Actually just be a little open minded Jane." With a tussle of hair Alec was gone. Jane picked up the fallen brush and began brushing her hair again. Muttering to herself she'd declared "everyone is really out to get me today." She looked at her reflection in the mirror across the room. How long ago had it been since she last really looked at her reflection? Her sharp eyes stared back at her answering her question. It had been at the river a few days before she died. Jane closed her eyes trying to remember how the water rushed over her hand and how Alec held her hand as they walked the grassy fields back home. Slumping back down on to the bed Jane sat with the brush in her lap searching it for answers. Her blonde hair hung frizzy from the horrible brushing. Legs crossed at ankle and down casted eyes, for the first time in her undead life Jane let herself become vulnerable.
