Thanks to Nastia Cullen for bugging me non-stop.

Disclaimer: If you think I own Twilight, then you are sorely mistaken

I AM SOOOO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING SO LONG!!!!!! My computer got a virus, and my dad blamed me, so I had to bug him until he let me on the laptop.

The Witch Children

Jane POV

Vampires.

Is he joking?

I don't think he is.

So, according to Mr. Red-Eyes-You-Are-A-Vampire-Guy, I am a vampire, and I will live forever.

Hmm.... is there any bad news?

Because now I am a vampire, and I get to live forever, and all I had to do was go through a lot of pain.

Oh, and I have to kill humans, but I'm not a human anymore, so I can.

Who cares about the people who wanted me to ruin my life?

Who cares about the people who wanted to kill me?

Not me.

And I can say truthfully, that I am looking forward to drinking blood.

Especially the part when I get to kill them.

And I can also say truthfully that I don't think it's a bad trade.

But first, I need to trust this guy.

And I don't know if I can...

Alec POV

Vampires?

Really?

Hmmm....

If I am a vampire, and I can live forever, that means that I do not have to fear the wrath of God.

Wonderful.

No church,

No praying,

and I can commit all the sins I want to.

I feel like sloth.

But one question still bugged me.

Who was that guy???

Aro POV

Hmmm... I can tell they like that they are vampires.

Not very religious are they?

I called Chelsea over, she would bind them to me.

And I would have two more slaves...

Jane POV

There was silence.

Then, I asked the question that was no doubt on Alec's mind.

"Who ARE you??????"

The man chuckled.

"My dear, I am Aro. One of the leaders of the Volturi."

He let me wonder for a second and then continued.

"We of the Volturi strive to protect our secret from the humans. We are the protecters, enforcers of laws, and above all, we are the leaders of the vampires. I have watched you, and I believe you might be a very priceless addition to our ranks. Will you join us?"

Suddenly, I felt a sudden need to be with them.

To stand with them and belong to them.

To become on of them.

To be one of the Volturi.

Alec POV

Hmmm.....

Interesting.

I wondered for a second, letting it all sink in.

So, I could be part of the leaders.

But why was he interested in me and Jane?

I voiced my thoughts.

"But why were you watching us?"

Aro chuckled.

It was a light, free sound.

"Because, I always keep an eye out for interesting people that could someday be an addition to our ranks."

He didn't answer my question.

"But why us??" I asked exasperatedly.

"Because, you two possessed certain qualities which I thought could turn into talents when you were changed." Aro paused. "Have you felt any different than from when you were human? As if suddenly a quality is overpowering?"

Now that he mentioned it, I did feel a bit more calm.

As if I knew for certain that I would be calm no matter what, and I could make everyone else feel the same way.

Jane POV

Hmmm.....

Well, I do feel as if I can make a person be tortured horribly, does that count for anything?

"Ummm.... Well..." I said.

"About that...." Alec said....

"Umm..." I said.

"Uhhh..." Alec said.

Then we both waited a second and then burst out at the exact same time:

Me: "I feel like I can torture people."

Alec: "I feel all calm... too calm..."

Wow... I have never felt more dumb....

Alec POV

Wait, did I just say that?

Too calm?

I have never felt more dumb....

Aro was staring at us oddly.

Then, he reached out and took our hands into his.

He looked as if he was reading something..

Something mildly interesting...

Like our thoughts...

Aro POV

Hmmm....

Interesting..

She feels like torturing, and Alec feels calm.

Hmmm...

Jane POV

Aro straightened up and then spoke "Jane, I want you to focus your energy at that vampire," He pointed to a big, hooded figure. "imagine him being tortured, release that energy."

I did as he said, and suddenly, the vampire was on the floor writhing in pain.

And for the first time in a while, a smile touched my lips.

Aro smiled too.

"Excellent," He murmured, "Excellent..."

Alec POV

Aro turned to me.

"Alec, I want you to make that vampire," He pointed to the same figure, still on the floor,"calm. Focus all of your energy. Imagine an ocean, imagine the sound, the calm, calm sound."

I did as I was told.

I cold tell the poor vampire lost all sight, sound, smell, and all senses.

He was just sort of turning his head incredulously, as if expecting it to go away in a few seconds.

To my left, I saw Jane torturing a different vampire.

Then, she turned her attention to a human.

After about a minute, the human died.

Nobody moved to pick her up.

"Who did I kill?" asked Jane.

"That was Jacqueline, one of our human receptionists." Aro answered, not at all showing any pity for the human.

"Anyhow, I want you to go to training. You wil develop your gifts, but do not expect any special treatment for being young. You will be trained, and it will be painful. The arena is a few hallways down, Heidi will show you." He beckoned to another vampire, and she led us to a door.

"Good luck." She whispered. "You shall need it."
