Chapter 5 – Under the Grip of Jane.

I spun around the room loving the way the cloak floated. Heidi just laughed endlessly at me. I glared at her then sort of cowered away remembering she is a vampire. Although I wasn't that scared around Heidi, she seemed like a normal person but just, you know... had albino like eyes, well no not albino, her eyes where a crimson and her skin too pale to be human. The only eyes that really threatened me were the ruby red ones, that belonged to Alec. I shuddered yet again at the mere thought of his name, which was enough to make me panic. Heidi noticed and looked at me knowingly.

"He isn't going to hurt you, Ashley" she whispered.

I shuddered knowing who she was referring to and not believing a word she said.

"I can't help but be scared, I-I thought he was going to kill me last night" I whispered back to which she frowned.

"He wouldn't Aro made his commands, I'm sorry I didn't try stop him from scaring you"

"You couldn't of known, Heidi" I consoled her, to why I was consoling a vampire, I have no clue.

She looked up guiltily "But I did know, everyone did, but no one would dare anger Alec, Aro may have ordered him not to touch you but Alec would have Jane torture anyone of us who stood up to him, or he'd strip us of our senses and do it himself."

I looked away, I didn't want her to be ashamed but I was mad. Mad because a almost Indestructible creature, and many of them, wouldn't stand up to him for me. I sighed then turned back to her, she looked so ashamed she could cry. Crying probably isn't possible for a vampire since I presume their bodies stop growing. That instantly got me curious; do they look the same forever? Do they even live forever?

"Heidi, What age are you?"

She laughed "What age you want to know, vampire or human?"

I smiled "Both"

"Well, I am twenty six in human years, and let's just say I was born eight-four years before Jesus"

My jaw dropped and my eyes widened. Eight-four years before Jesus, that isn't possible. Damn Ashley anything is possible now that you live with vampires. "Did-did you meet him?"

She laughed. "No, never, I don't even know if he was actually real. I lived in Scotland. Nothing like it is now, it was like a deselect slum when I was last there, It used to be beautiful, winding valleys and curved lochs and high mountains, there used to be wolves and bears but they were hunted to extinction, some places the beauty remains there up north but..." she cut of sadly.

I felt in a way sorry for her, she surely hadn't asked for this life. It was probably forced upon her. She was probably made to agree to this, like me?

"What happened to you, Heidi?" I asked wearily not to upset her.

She sighed.

"It all started on my twenty-six birthday, I had felt somewhat proud because I still looked like a teenager. I had paraded my beauty to the clan and many women were outrageously jealous. I sought for any woman who could compare to my beauty and found all but one, she was tall and had red hair, her eyes were a topaz and her skin as white as snow, she was stunning, outrageously beautiful, almost unreal. I was jealous of her insane beauty that I demanded to know her secret, she just chuckled darkly and said I can't show you, but I can make you beautiful. I being foolish, outrageously accepted her proposition, She changed me and I lay for days burning, when I awoke, she cared for me and mothered me. One day we were attacked by a clan of newborns, Agathiana...The vampire who changed me, managed to let me escape... you see Agathiana could make someone invisible but It only worked on one at a time, and being selfless and loving she spared me enough time to escape. I spent years, living off the diet, Agathiana had until I sauntered into the city of Volterra, I had killed a woman in a desperate feast but Aro forgave me for thirsting on a citizen and took me in, and now my diet only consists on human blood"

I felt tears try to escape, I'd be damned If I let myself cry now.

I subconsciously grabbed Heidi into a hug, to which she stiffened. A moment later she relaxed and lightly squeezed me back. She pulled away smiling "You know, It's been almost a hundred years since someone hugged me"

I smiled weakly at her, all that contained her face was pain, she had never wanted this lifestyle. She had never known this is what would become of her, but how would she have known.

"Oh deary my! I have to go – um I have to make arrangements for next month's 'fishing' trip" she sounded awkward before scurrying out the door.

Fishing trip. I actually don't think I can be here when that happens, I think I'll end up running in there trying to save people and getting myself killed.

I sighed to myself and stepped out of my room and walked slowly along a long marble corridor, the paintings were beautiful and exquisite but then I came across a small picture of ebony paper. It was of a stick man, with disgusting features, It was tall and had brown hair. I burst into laughter as I saw an arrow pointing to the picture of the stick man underneath it read; I am Felix, I'm smelly.

I laughed, what was wrong with Demitri and Felix? I had only met them once yesterday and they gave of the impression if two five year olds.

"Hey! What are you laughing at?" a voice sounded behind me: Felix.

I tried my best to block the drawing with my body, In fear of an angry vampire. He slowly nudged me out of the way and gasped. I had to laugh but I stopped instantly from the red-eyed glare I received from Felix. Felix pulled out a pen.

I looked at him in astonishment, yes those two really were five year olds I'm sure. He scored out his name replacing it with: Demitri. I laughed as he wrote some snide comment about Demitri's height. He raised his eyebrows at me, waving the pen in my face. I laughed and wrote a speech bubble next to it, in it I deciphered a stupid nickname: I'm Shortie! Felix began laughing so hard, he was unable to control himself.

"Felix?" I asked cautiously in the presence of a very large vampire.

"Yes?" he asked in almost the same tone.

"Do you have a library here?" I asked. His face was full of confusion; most likely he didn't know what a library was. I sighed. I can make my own way. I turned but not before he grabbed me and slung me over his back, I screamed as he ran so fast, It was unbearable. My face was opposite the floor as I looked down on it, Felix was holding my feet in the air so my knees barely rested on his shoulders. I kept screaming until he set me down, standing straight.

I walked through large oak doors, gasping. The room was gold and marble, there were rectangles and an archway that cut into the walls that were fitted with shelves, the shelves were lined in books. There were millions upon millions of books. At the side of the room was a large globe, rimmed with white, everything was gold and white except the books and the emerald green armchairs and emerald green curtains that framed windows, unfortunately they weren't windows to the main Volturi city but just a large garden. The garden was domed and I would not escape, I had guessed that only some of the castle was above ground but wasn't near the Volterra but instead a deselect area. The chairs looked like the ones you got in public libraries, there were spiralling staircases that led to a balcony to reach books. The room looked like the library out of the Disney film The Beauty and The Beast. (A/N Pictures on profile of everything)

"Oh, wow!" It was stunning, absolutely beautiful. I love reading, libraries were basically my second home.

I walked across nearly the whole length of one shelf, it was around twenty meters wide and there were five of them and they were evenly spaced, the room must be really long. I noticed the books were characteristic, I grinned walking to a collection of old classics.

I had always been a into romance novels, not that love is a real emotion. I had read the classics from Romeo and Juliet, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Persuasion, Wuthering heights, Rebecca and North and South. Yes I had read many romance novels and fell deeply in love with every one of them. I walked across the section named 'Romance', watching the expensive book covers, they weren't like the basic printed books you saw in public libraries but the expensive, old special editions kind. I smiled running my fingers of the rims of a few books. I heard a chuckle behind me and I turned to a see Felix rolling his eyes.

"How unsurprising, of course the human would read romance" he scoffed.

I glared at him and laughed when he smiled smugly. "Want to fight, Kitty?" I dared jokingly.

"Kitty?" he laughed.

I started giggling "Your name reminds me of the cat food adverts when the woman puts the tray down for her cat, Felix"

His eyes bugged and he began laughing. "Niiiice, you want to know what your name reminds me of?"

I nodded pulling out an old edition of Romeo and Juliet of the shelf, I had read this book many a times and loved it enough to re-read.

"It reminds me of a tree" he tried to sound smart.

I laughed at him, deciding not to tell him that is where my name came from; the ash tree. For a vampire he is insanely stupid.

I walked over to an emerald chair and slumped into it, opening the cover of the book. This play meant everything to me.

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean

"So what you reading?" Felix interrupted me.

I mumbled a reply, he kept trying to make conversation but only received mumbles and grunts, I was so involved in the play, I hadn't heard a word he said. He finally gave up and left, seeing as talking to me when I was reading was a hopeless case.

I smiled as I read half of Act I, I marked the spot with a Kirby grip I had in my hair and put the book back on the shelf.

I walked out of the beautiful library, already missing it. I made my way down the hall. I was alone, now. I thought about running. I wandered carelessly around the corridors for ages, surprisingly not drawing any attention.

I looked up and met the cold stare of the steel doors, I had came near the entrance. Fear and relief ran through me. I walked fast down the corridor, the first one I'd been in. The receptionist didn't seem to notice me, I think her name is Gianna, Felix kept talking about her earlier. But she did pick up the phone and whisper down the receiver. My instincts told me to run so that is what I did. The hallway was thinning and I saw the door to the sewer. I looked at it, now feeling a cold and malicious atmosphere behind me, I lurched myself forward only to be pulled back. I crashed against something that felt like a rock. I screamed. I looked down and saw that is was arms holding me to the rock, I felt like I couldn't breathe. The oxygen was caught in my throat.

I started pulling at the arms, screaming and yelling.

"You aren't going anywhere" the voice growled, it was Alec. I started shaking uncontrollably.

"Let go!" I shouted breathlessly.

"Do not agitate me" he hissed as I punched and pulled at his arms.

"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.

"You are NOT supposed to leave!!!"

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

I heard footsteps and a cloaked figure walked around the corner. The movement was eerie but Alec let me go so I was standing, I couldn't move, I was petrified.

"Jane" Alec nodded in the figures direction, the figure looked up and locked their eyes with mine. The crimson was extreme, the burned at me.

I screamed and collapsed onto the floor

The pain was unbearable, It felt as if I was being stabbed, burned, shot, hit, I felt every possible pain. I screamed and my body lurched and shuddered on the floor, my body flopping relentlessly. I felt my lungs corrupt with froth. My eyes rolling back.

"Jane stop. She's human it has a different affect o vampires, you'll kill her" the velvety rough voice whispered.

I heard a malicious chuckle "Why? It's fun dear brother"

The voice growled "Jane, Aro shall not be amused, dear sister. Your actions are unwise"

The pain stopped at the sound of a sigh. My body stopped shaking and everything went black.

Dun, Dun, Dun! ;) Hahaha! :P

Okay I want to try something, I want you to write a piece of dialogue, anything i.e "Cow's are pretty" anything can be random and I will have to include it in my next chapter, the most inventive, cool one will be used! Please try, It'll be fun and of course the chapter will be dedicated to the person who's dialogue I choose! :D

I'll update real soon!
