A/N: Seems it's been over a year, sorry for the delay... But anyways, time to go on to the next chapter! Also, thanks to kaat12 for reminding me this story exists.

Chapter 2

Bella stood near the back of the room taking in the stunning architecture, it was obvious a lot of time had been placed into the construction of the massive room she was now stood in. Everything from the intricate designs on the doors to the tiny curved flick on the ends of the windowsills had been painstakingly crafted from the finest materials known to man.

Once Bella had finished taking in the architecture, she turned to the actors at the front of the room while only paying half attention to the man who was currently speaking. Taking in the features of each actor, she noted that every one of them had blood red eyes like the ones that had been haunting her. Noticing this, Bella started to scan the eyes of the actors who were stood at the front of the room. Eventually Bella found what she was looking for and spent a good few minutes staring in shock at the very eyes that had been haunting her since she arrived in Italy. Bella noticed that the eyes held a level of hate that would make even the most hardened of criminals cringe, and decided that only someone who was pure evil would have eyes that cold.

Taking in the person behind the eyes, Bella noticed that they belong to a blonde female who looked to be around 14 or 15 and had a childlike innocence that defied the amount of evil held in her eyes. Suddenly realising that the girl is looking at her, Bella averted her gaze and tried to hide her blush. She was so distracted that she didn't notice the childlike boy stalking towards her, or the bloodshed that had painted the marble white floor red.

Jane POV

I couldn't help but look at the brunette that had wandered in with their meal, she was just so, captivating. Everything from the way she looked in awe at the age old architecture to the way she bit her lip intrigued me. Shaking my head I went back to listening to Aro.

"Oh Caius, it appears there is someone else interested in our dear Jane." Aro said.

"At least it isn't another 40 year old pervert." Caius laughed back.

"That was particularly messy." Aro frowned.

I shook my head and looked over to Marcus who appeared to be interested in something for the first time in almost 60 years. Ignoring it for now but deciding to find out later, I turned my attention back to the brunette and start to study her but Alec chooses that moment to interrupt my thoughts.

"I fancy taking a bite out of the brunette at the back." Alec said.

I found myself suppressing a growl at his words which surprised me, since when did I want to growl at Alec? And over a stupid human at that! I found myself suppressing another growl at my thoughts. Why did I care if Alec drained her drier than the skeletons buried below the lower levels? During my musings, I looked up and noticed Alec stalking towards the brunette and I was hit with a sense of dread that made the dread I felt during my final night in the village pale in comparrison. I had to do something, and fast!

Faster than I could think, I was in front of the brunette and Alec was in a heap on the other side of the room. It wasn't long before Alec had gotten back up and was stalking towards us both growling the entire time. I felt the girl behind me shuffle almost imperceptibly closer to me in fear which caused me to growl at Alec, he had no right to scare the girl like that. Readying myself for an attack we were interrupted by Aro.

"Enough of this stupidity!" Aro shouted, whilst walking towards me. He got a little too close for my comfort so with a push I sent him flying back towards his throne. It was with an almost sick fascination I watched Aron crash into his throne before I realized that he would be pissed when he got up. I quickly dispatched of both Felix and Dimitri when Aro motioned for them to attack me, before turning my attention back to Aro. He took a step towards me with an angry scowl on his face, but was stopped before his second step by Marcus who put his hand on the side of Aro's neck. It was a sure sign he had thoughts to share with Aro.

I watched carefully as Aro's eyes went from angry to... Understanding? What was there to understand? I was confused, but didn't have time to ponder it as Aro spoke.

"Congratulations Jane." Aro spoke in a low volume.

"Congratulations for what?" I asked at the same volume.

"Surely you've figured it out by now, no?" Aro laughed. I pondered what he could mean and then pondered her actions since the meal, or more specifically, the brunette, had been brought in. After a few seconds, a silly grin spread across my face as the meaning behind Aro's words revealed themselves to me.

"Finally!" Exclaimed Aro. "Now, you'd better take her somewhere to explain all this. I'll be in my office when you are done." I nodded before picking Bella up and running at full speed through the castle to my private chambers. I ignored the myriad of electronical items that were scattered around making a few noises as I placed the brunette on the bed before walking over and closing the door.

Next Time: Bella finds out more about who Jane is, but before she can really ask questions disaster strikes.

A/N: Well, this chapter took me nearly 16 hours of on again off again writing. Anyway, the next chapter is coming, I don't know when (especially when you take into account how wrong my last estimate was) but I do know it's coming. And for those of you following Experiment Possible as well, all I will say is soon.
