Okay so she has, 365 days. I'm going to do a day or a few every chapter. I ain't saying there are going to be 365 chapters :O No! But I do like the sound of it :)

This is going to be the night Alec went ape and when she wakes in the morning and that day 'Kay!

Chapter 4 – 365 Days.

I ran through the hallway, feeling fear lunge at me. I was scared, paranoid but I had those rights due to the situation. Alec was by far the most ghastly monster, part of me wished he would have just killed me, but no, I'm seventeen, I deserve life. Not that being change into one of them was life, it was merely a longer death sentence.

Knowing in precisely 365 days I'd become a monster, a vicious blood-sucking beast. I'd kill innocents just like I witnessed them do. I'd be cold and mysterious. As the saying went: curiosity killed the cat although it should be more like: Curiosity got Ashley messed up with leeches and will now become one of them or the situation will result in death.

Death? Either way I'd be dead, dead as in no life at all, I'd be gone or dead as no beating heart, no soul, feeling no love, feeling nothing but the lust for human blood but I'd still move, speak and do most things I can now.

I ran into my room, crying. I slammed the door and leaned the large ornate chair against it, I knew that it wouldn't stop one of them, but it made me feel safer. I walked to the bathroom and washed the make-up of my face.

All I wanted right now was to run home to mum and dad. All I wanted was to escape from here. Yet there is no possible way of getting out as a human. I could try run, I will try. I just cannot let Aro touch me till then but this is Aro and by what I've learned, he enjoys skin to skin contact, he sucks the thoughts from others minds.

Living here I shall have no; privacy, family, company that is human and I shall never feel the sun's warmth suppress me. They wouldn't risk letting me outside and when I was turned, I would surely burn in the sun.

I would live but, living like that is depressing. I don't know what my problem is, I hate the sun, I hate day, yet being stolen from me I want nothing other than what I can't have. I glanced at myself again before turning and walking to the bed.

There was white silk laid on the bed and white ebony paper, I looked at the expensive paper and on it was an old English scrawl.

Ashley,

I heard you cry, sweet darling. Do not threat, Alec shall not hurt you. Sleep well my child.

Love Sulpicia.

I smiled at the note, Sulpicia did not seem like a vampire but a kind-hearted woman. I felt at ease with this kind stranger and she was the only one I will dare talk to, unless spoken to.

I looked at the white silk it was a cloak, like Sulpicia's but was made of silk. She must have thought silk would be more soothing to a human. I lifted it to see under it was a royal blue nightgown. It was long and had spaghetti straps. All the clothes they gave me were elegant. They were beautiful and old fashioned, but I liked old fashioned, I have never understood what happen to fashion. All the horrendous outfits which consist of leggings, heels, belly tops and hoop earrings, I shuddered at the thought. I pulled of the red silk to be replaced with the royal blue, I hung the white cloak from a ornate oak hat stand. I glanced at the door and realised the chair was gone so I walked over to the desk and trailed it back to the door, It's new rightful place.

I lay down on the ice blue sheets, not bothering to cover myself. What was the point, maybe I'd get hypothermia and they'd take me to a hospital where I could make my daring escape, Oh, why the hell think about it, it would never happen. I curled into a ball, the silk was cold against my skin, and I like the cold so it fit well. I sighed and tried helplessly to fall asleep.

1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 sheep, 4 sheep, 5 sheep, 6 - oh who the hell am I kidding, I'll never get to sleep counting stupid assed sheep!

I grunted and stepped of the bed and began pacing in the room, until I lay back down on the bed. Unable to close my eyes in fear of seeing the memory of all those people being massacred.

* * * * *

I lay awake the whole night unable to sleep, who can blame me for not being able to sleep in a hidden palace inhabited by leeches. I looked around for a clock but alas there was none, well why would the need a clock when they have no need for time. I kept thinking about mum and dad. If only I could talk to them once, say goodbye, even just a phone call or-

MY PHONE! My Mobiley.

I lunged up and ran franticly to the drawer were my clothes were. There sat my jean shorts I had worn, In my mind were a chorus of 'Hallelujah' 's that sung, I was half expecting a spot of light to shine down upon them. I lifted them up smiling. I dug my hand into them, feeling nothing, I frowned.

"The pockets must be deep" I whispered reassuringly to myself as I dug into them again.

Someone chuckled behind me.

"You don't think we are that stupid do you?" a tall man who was muscly and had dark hair asked.

(A/N I'm having the Volturi's physical description on the movie not the book, hence the blonde Jane ect.)

I sighed and watched him finger my mobile. He was spinning it on the tip of his finger like the basketball players do.

"Who are you?" I asked, I remembered him taking away the little girl to the orphanage but I don't remember his name.

Instead of answering he faked gasped "I am hurt, you don't remember my name"

"Oh shut the hell up, Felix! Who would want to remember you" A smaller male vampire came into the room, smiling at me. He smacked Felix on the head and I couldn't help but laugh.

Felix laughed too but then glared at him "Don't embarrass me in front of the human, Demitri"

"You seem to be doing that yourself, Felix" Demitri said.

This made me giggle harder as I flopped on the bed amused with them. I watched them silently argue with each other until they turned to me, realising I was sat cross legged and rested my head in my hands, smiling.

"Oh" Demitri said, noticing my presence after their argument.

I laughed "Hello" I added timidly.

"Hi" they both said.

"Soooooooooooooooooooo" I said dragging the word, awkwardly.

"Yeah, so" Felix said crumbling my mobile in his fist.

"Nooooooooo! Not Mobiley!" I screamed.

They both laughed "Mobiley?" Demitri chuckled.

I sighed, who thought it was possible to make a complete and utter fool of yourself in the presence of vampires.

My poor Mobiley was destroyed, even though I sometimes didn't see the point in modern equipment, I always come attached to inanimate objects once I name the, yes I am strange.

I sighed louder realising losing my phone was nothing compared to the situation I'm in now.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

Demitri cleared his throat "To inform you that Hei- Oh! Here she is"

I glanced up to see a pretty pissed looking Heidi. "Out!" she ordered.

The men slumped out.

Heidi exhaled happily "Boys" she muttered.

She walked over to me grinning. "Okay, what is your favourite colours, Ashley? Pick several"

I thought about it "Grey, blue, red and green"

She frowned "What no pink? Purple?"

I shook my head lazily, which made her frown deepen. "Weird girl" she muttered then smiled to herself. "I will be right back" then she disappeared

She came back holding Grey/teal dress that would stop just above my knees, it had garnet coloured stones at the top and a ruffled skirt, It was easily an expensive vintage item and I loved it.

She got me dressed quickly and curled my hair, applied light natural make-up and layered on the cloak.

She looked approvingly at me "You know, you're really pretty. I'm surprised Felix, Demitri, Santiago and Alec aren't bowing at your feet"

I laughed "Ha,

"As if anyone would find me attractive"

She frowned "Trust me, I bet you, that someone will pay attention 'in that way' to you, while you are still human"

I frowned "Bet what?" I said uneasy.

She looked thoughtful "Hmmmm... How about If I win you have to be the fisher for twenty years?"

I thought about it, could I really be able to lure humans to their death? No, but I would win the bet anyway. "Deal, but If I win, I... You have to be my slave for a hundred years" haha!

She smiled back "I like a bet, I can't lose"

I rolled my eyes at her comment.

Preview for next chapter...

"You hurting me!" I yelled.

"I told you to not agitate me, child!"

I was beyond scared, I now felt somewhat at ease with all the vampires well, all except him.

"I-I'm Sorry, please let go!!!"

I heard footsteps and a cloaked figure walked around the corner.

"Jane" Alec nodded in the figures direction, the figure looked up and locked their eyes with mine.

I screamed and collapsed onto the floor

HAHAH! Wait for next time! =P
