Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight Saga, it's belong to Stephenie Meyer and her great mind for creating such a wonderful piece like Twilight Saga (Although, I wish I can own Edward and Alec ...TT^TT). Also, I don't own the cover pic which I use for this story's cover. The one who had made that wonderful cover is LanWu. I merely downloaded it from her. So, if you want to see the real size, just visit her at lanwu .deviantart .com (just erase the space). The art was titled Guilty. It was and still is one of my favorites from all her piece of art (^w^)

Warnings: It contains OC. This story takes time on the Twilight Saga: New Moon with minor changes to the storyline. Unbeta, so please bear with the poor tenses and some mistakes I made.

Pairings: AlecxOC, SethxOC

Genre: Romance, Angst, Drama, Hurt/Comfort

-The Strange Girl-

-Alec-


Burgundy hued orbs stared absentmindedly at the crowd around him. Aro had personally asked him to watch over a particular member from Cullen's coven alongside with Felix after the man's sudden appearance and his strange request for them to personally kill him. Apparently, the man was quite desperate to die if the look in his eyes were any indications of it. But Aro is never one to kill mercilessly, especially when the said person was someone who he deemed valuable enough to live. In short, the Volturi had refused to kill the man, no matter how desperate that man was to die.

That doesn't mean the desperate vampire will give up though. After all, it doesn't take a genius to know that the man will try anything to make them kill him. He was pretty desperate like that. Nonetheless, Aro had asked him to watch over the man along with Felix while Jane was busy to run another errand for their master. So long, the desperate vampire hadn't tried anything except to sit near the clock tower at the center of the main square where the ongoing festivities was. Alec could only hope the vampire stay that way and not try anything funny because it was really troublesome to fix the damage the man will make if he even try to do something funny.

"You have to try and relax sometimes," The muscular vampire beside him said lowly, while his red eyes continued to look at their surroundings in boredom. There's nothing much they could do except watching those humans mingled with one and another after all.

"Relaxing isn't an option at the moment, Felix. You know what we have to do," was the short quiet reply he gave at his fellow guard.

A weary sigh was heard coming from the vampire beside him before a low chuckle emitted from the bulky guard. "I forgot how uptight you are, Alec. Maybe I should convince Demetri and Heidi to loose you up. We all know you need to loosen up every once in a while,"

The young looking vampire said nothing to his fellow guard's statement, burgundy eyes merely glanced around their surrounding apathetically. Alec didn't like festivities. It was too crowded, with lots and lots of humans around. Someone would say after living in Italy for long, he would have gotten used to with it. But Alec just couldn't get used to with it. It was too noisy, more noisy than the usual. Cars and humans everywhere… Alec tried to remain in the shadows of the busy town. Even when he was with Felix, he felt uncomfortable with the amount of humans around them.

Alec sighed, feeling quite annoyed as he watched over the member of Cullen's coven. His thought had long drifted back once again towards his beloved sister. Even though he was confident his dear sister could handle herself just fine, that didn't stop him from thinking over her. Jane can be quite childish when she was bored after all. And whenever his dear sister felt bored, she would just torture some unfortunate people just for the fun of it. Although Aro was all fine and okay with it, Alec knows their master won't be pleased if Jane's habits of torturing people gained them some unwanted attentions.

He really has to think of a way to occupy her sister's mind long enough for her to not feel bored while he was away from her. Burgundy eyes checked on the Cullen's vampire once again to make sure the man was still there before he turned his gaze towards the crowd. Even when he had stood in the shadows, his angelic appearance still gained some unwanted attraction from the humans. Alec frowned a bit at this little fact as he tried to wrap his black Volturi cloak around him more, in attempts to appear less noticeable. He never likes it when humans stare at him far too long than necessary. It always reminds him of his childhood past.

"Do you think he is going to move from there?" The gruff voice of his fellow guard snapped him out of his thoughts as Alec focused his attention on the vampire from the Cullen's coven again. Judging from the man's expression, Alec didn't think he was going to move anytime soon but there is nothing wrong on taking some precautions.

"No. But it's better to not let our guard down on him,"


Alec was still watching over the vampire from the Cullen's coven when he noticed her for the first time. The human girl was no older than sixteen, from the sounds of her voice. He didn't know why but the the girl's voice sounds pleasant in his ears regardless the fact his dislikes over humans' noisy voices. And no matter how hard he had tried to ignore the girl's voice, her voice simply echoed within his head. Disturbing him with her meaningless chatter and questions over her companion.

Feeling quite curious and agitated over this strange human girl, Alec focused his senses on her after making sure the Cullen vampire hadn't moved from his spot. Burgundy eyes looked around the crowds until he finally spotted her. She has a long brown hair with slightly wavy edges. There's nothing special about the girl except for a little fact that the girl was blind. For a moment Alec couldn't stop but wondering just what it is about the girl that had attracted his attention. Is it because she was blind? Or because of her voice which somehow he could hear far clearly amidst others' noise?

He wasn't sure which one it is, the only thing he could do for now was watching over her to find out more about this strange human girl. "Where is father's new work place, mom?" The young brunette with misty turquoise eyes asked lowly though Alec could perfectly heard her voice even from afar. It seemed like the girl was new in here if her question towards the older woman beside her was any indications of it.

"Your father works at Palazzo Minucci-Solaini," The older woman answered. Interesting. So the girl's father basically works around them, eh? That was something Alec never expected to hear. Nonetheless, it only makes everything easier for them if they need to get the girl. After all, if the girl's father really works around them; then that means Gianna knows about him. After all, the secretary was quite knowledgeable on knowing other humans who works around the Volturi while being completely clueless about their true natures.

Nevertheless, their clueless nature over the Volturi's true identity always help them to pry on those humans. Since, they practically think the Volturi as one of the eldest families who had been living in the famous palace for decades, it wasn't really difficult for them to lure all those tourists into their home. Although, Alec still has to make sure about the reason why the human girl felt so different than the rest of humans for him before he even tell about her to their master. It won't be good to make his master get all so excited over nothing after all.


Authoress' Notes: I decided to make Alec's and Seth's POV from 3rd point of view. Even though I realized I have given each one of them the 1st point of view in the prologue; I want to write the story from their point of view in third person. That's why, aside from the prologue, both Seth and Alec's POV will be taken from third person point of view. While my OC's POV will remain in first person POV. Also, I'm not so sure where the exact location the Volturi lives at Volterra so I made them live in Palazzo Minucci-Solaini at Volterra. That was merely my imagination though. Feel free to tell me their exact living place if you know about it.

What do you think of this chapter? Is it good? Or bad? Please tell me what do you think of it through your review. Thank you so much for reading this story. Your review will make me really happy and help to motivate me to update faster. Lastly, I'm sorry for all the mistakes I have made but do remember that I'm still an amateur, so I need a long way to go. Have a nice day~
