JANE of the VOLTURI.

[ofvolturi-blog]

A L E C.

      The amount of disdain and contempt Alec held for the state of Alaska was rather uncanny. It was nothing more than a mountainous wasteland, blanketed in snow, sustaining a poor population of some of the worst blood he’d tasted in well over a century. However much he disliked the current arena and dreamt of his home in Italy, he was going to be here for the foreseeable future and wanted to familiarize himself with the area. Much as he had expected, there was nothing of note in Denali or the surrounding wilderness. The remoteness, however, did have its benefits. The boy was running full speed across empty stretches of snow and patches of enormous trees until he came closer to the outskirts of the city. He slowed down there, keeping his pace a slow as the average human as he took in the, what some would call, sites. Much to his surprise, he caught a whiff of a familiar scent and smirked gently to himself. It wasn’t like Jane to stray out in the daytime, or ever really, without some kind of malicious intention. He followed her trail until he came upon the park. Watched from a distance, the sight of the children one he recognized far too well. He stifled a laugh, watching his sister throw the ball across the park with a flick of her wrist. Assuring no eyes were on him, Alec moved across the street and park to stop the ball with his foot. “ Is this yours? “ He asked the boy, a devious smirk striping his features. The boy nodded to him and Alec shot a quick glance to his sister before crushing the ball under his foot with a satisfying pop on his way to greet her. “ Play nice. “ He offered the child the tip as he passed and made his way to sit next to the blonde. “ Remember the days when we brought down Dacian empires? Now look at us. “ He teased with a laugh, his hands finding the pockets of his jacket. “ I didn’t expect to find you out here. “

     at his scent she grinned, eyes immediately going to him. any interest she had in the girl and her bullies immediately gone as her brother appeared. --- alec made everything better, even when it wasn’t going bad, he made it better.  her laugh ( like sweet bells ) left her lips at her brother’s actions. the laugh continued on in joy as the little boy cried and ran from the ‘scary teen’. her eyes went to the sky for a moment, the sun was still securely hidden by a thick layer of grey clouds. her smile became playful as he spoke. “ i remember; watching the citizens scramble like ants as we took to the streets. i think some of them may have already believed they were dead when they saw us. i think a little girl called us angels before being crushed by that house, ” her voice was light, as if her mind were in some far off place. at his next words she tilted her head, her eyes meeting his. “ i was bored. you weren’t there and heidi was droning on about the lack of attractive men. she did enjoy her italian food. i thought it might be good to get a look at the....awful, ugly town we’re now in. alaska is truly hideous. ” she missed the sand colored buildings of volterra. missed sticking her hand out the window of her chambers and letting her mind wander as she lost her mind in the diamond like appearance of her skin.

And the flicker was gone, replaced by the strange state of emotionless anger that only Jane could pull off. While his smile dissipated somewhat it still remained, though now only for its formal politeness. He nodded along with her words, acknowledging them. While Aro and Carlisle had never come directly to blows, he was fairly certain their covens had come close more then once. Still, when the most powerful man called you a friend you didn’t argue. “I’m surprised he has not forgotten me.” He chuckled a little, though that wasn’t exactly true. Carlisle had been such an oddity in the vampire world that he was difficult to forget. His demeanor immediately shifted when Jane began talking once more, this time of fights and assets. He hated how his family was viewed by the Voltui as nothing more then gifts to be collected and how Aro’s respect of Carlisle didn’t extend to them. There was no way he would allow them to be used. “That would be unfortunate, though with the Volturi’s considerable strength I’m sure you could prevail on your own.” That was his not so subtle way of expressing his reluctance. “You know I respect your work, Jane, and the order it brings. But before I can offer my assistance I will need to speak with my family.”

    she would not let him see her emotions, the only one who saw who she was...who she really might be, was alec. he was the only person in her life she trusted with 100% of her being. “ he could never forget you, he can barely let us forget you, ” her words were filled with disdain. everytime her leader mentioned the oldest cullen she had to hold bad the desire to bring incomprehensible pain to those around her. admittedly though, she had often wondered what carlisle would be like if he lived the way they did -- if he fed they way they were meant to feed. “ yes, but it would be easier with your assistance --- especially with that of dear alice. aro would be so VERY grateful, as would i, ” she replied coolly. “ of course. talk with your family, let them know the assistance they might give would be greatly appreciated.”

What was that? A flicker of real emotion? It seemed to be hidden behind Jane’s words, which caused an even greater smile to pull on Carlisle’s lips. He knew what it was like to be ripped from the place you called home, though it was always of his own choosing. “If there is anything I can do to ease your transition, please let me know.” His words were genuine, to an extent. He felt sorry for the vampire and pity too that such a young girl had been thrust into a life of violence thousands of years ago. But Carlisle also understood the importance of the Volturi. He didn’t know how this conflict would end but it was best to be polite to both sides. “I’m glad to hear our … friendship hasn’t dissipated over the years.” He knew Aro enjoyed being in control and their friendship was reliant on Carlisle’s compliance. “It’s lucky I came then.” The smile on his face becomes more strained as the conversation begins showing the tension between the two. “Do you know why he was so eager for me to join your coven in Denali?” He finally asks the question that had been burning in his mind ever since Alice had given him the news. Allies is what the Volturi needed but if Aro expected him to get involved there was going to be a problem

    bottle your emotions, jane --- she thought to herself, immediately locking her feelings away. well, everything but the feeling of wanting to slap carlisle repeatedly for the stupid grin(s) on his face. “ thank you, carlisle, ” she said with flat politeness. “ yes, aro relies greatly on your friendship especially in times like these.” while jane never fully understood why aro took such a liking to the doctor - she remember when they first met and aro’s immediate interest, it had angered her even then - she knew that a part of her sire probably kept the man close because of his...gifted family. smile still in place as to not make the people around them think anything was truly wrong. “ not fully, no --- but i believe aro thinks that this thing with the bellangers may result in a fight. and your family would be great assets if that were to happen. though you may not always like our methods, carlisle, the volturi have kept our people's secret safe for centuries. we bring order, we keep peace. something the bellangers cannot and will not do.” her words were intent, silently letting the man know it would not be wise to defy aro if this were the case in the future.

Everyone had something that relaxed them and for Joey it was chopping wood in her new front yard. Sure it was freezing outside but it felt good to do something normal (normal for her a least),a simple task that took her mind off things. Halfway through a third log and her playlist,Joey saw someone coming down the path and gave a friendly wave. “It’s so beautiful here isn’t it?” She asked and put the ax down.

     she had just been on her way back ‘home’ from dinner. her pale, beautiful face hid her true nature well --- no one who didn’t know what the eternal girl was could ever guess that she had just slaughtered three men a few counties over. the hood of her chic cloak was pulled over her long silver-blonde locks. she paused at the voice, contemplating whether to ignore it or answer. she chose the latter. “ no, it’s actually a rather ugly and bare place. ”

Bella watched the girl from a distance, hate welling up inside of her. She had never really liked Jane, but for some reason she was actually thinking about approaching the vampire. The moment she saw the ball tossed away from the kid she made her move to approach the blonde. “Why did you do that?” she asked as she looked down at her. She could tell that she was wearing contacts to hide the red of her eyes, though she was honestly surprised that the girl had not just came out in to the open with her red eyes. After all it would probably scare the children that she had been staring at. Bella supposed that was something Jane would like doing, scaring little kids. “They did nothing to you.” She found her gaze shifting to look out at the children as they ran after the ball. She thought about retrieving in for them, but then decided against it.

    the sent hit her nose instantly --- it was different now, more like her’s, but it was definitely from the same girl she met decades ago in voltera. the one immune to her gift. she clenched her teeth, if bile could rise in her throat it would have. bella swan....cullen, irked her beyond reproach. maybe it was because she couldn’t hurt the other like she could everyone else, or maybe it had been aro’s interest in her. either way she plastered a fake smile on her face. “ isabella --- why does it matter? i’m not hurting them, ” yet. children were cruel, they hated anything different and their parents were too idiotic to teach them otherwise.

Olivia saw the man reaching out to touch her again when suddenly they all fell to the ground. She hadn’t seen anything that would hurt the men, but yet they were all on the ground in pain. Olivia gasped and jumped back, her eyes searching for the answer. Had she missed something since she couldn’t hear? Olivia’s eyes saw the blonde in front of her and made out the words. “What did you do?” She asked looking at the men and then the blonde.

     jane didn’t answer the girl right away, instead she crouched down and gave the withering man closest to her a poke.  she smiled as he cried out. the blonde stood, turning toward the human with supernatural grace. “ nothing, i was walking past when i heard you call out --- next thing i knew these men were screaming like newborn babies, ” the lies slipped from her tongue effortlessly, centuries of covering up their ways making her words automatic.

It was Olivia’s own fault for getting lost. She was new to town and didn’t know where she was going. Instead of asking for directions and trying to read lips of the people she had attempted to find the store by herself. However she ended up lost and without knowing it a few men had come up behind her, whistling and calling out to her, but Olivia could not hear them. It wasn’t until she were around her that she finally realized they were there. “Didn’t you hear me call you baby?” The one said and Olivia only caught the last word he said as he reached out to touch her. “Don’t touch me!” Olivia said slapping the hand away. 

     she wasn’t normally one to help random humans, but when she heard the girl call out something possessed her to stop. there was something in the girl’s voice, in the way she spoke ---ijane stayed on the other end of the alley, watching the men with a cruel smile. PAIN. her smile grew as the men crumpled to the ground, voices silenced by the feeling of their bodies being burned from the inside out. she ended it sooner than she would’ve liked. footsteps echoed through the alley as she approached the girl, the men shaking and crying on the cold cement. before speaking she made sure she was in the girl’s eyesight. “ you’re ok. ”

               eyes burn behind contacts // he fed before town, so his hunger is under control but he cannot change the red eyes that mark his c o n d i t i o n. perhaps he can fit in here. his longs for the home he has been attached to for so many years, but even he cannot say that he’s not excited about a new adventure after so many years.

        ‘   can you point out the nearest shop?   i need some things for the flat.  ’

    she had been looking at flowers, even jane was not immune to the beauty of nature. the vampire could feel the store keep’s eyes on as she plucked a lily from it’s group. she turned to him, giving him the smile that dazzled many humans. he smiled back in a goofy way as she walked out of the store, uncaring that the angelic girl had basically stolen from him. exiting the store, she heard the young man’s voice....she could smell what he was before laying eyes on him.  JANE gently touched a petal of her flower. “ there’s one a few blocks from here, ”

‘ ANIMAL ATTACK ! ’ read the front page of denali’s daily news, causing xavier’s brow to furrow in vexation. perhaps it was a little morbid, but young sergeant often yearned for a more exciting headline. he’d assisted in more bear hunts than arrests in his four years serving, making him wonder if they should just change the police headquarters into a taxidermy shop. sighing, he turned over the page & leaned in towards the person on the stool beside him. ‘ you’d think people wouldn’t be idiotic enough to play around with grizzly’s … but here we are. ’

     she resisted the urge to sneer at the headline. gods, her kind could be so stupid. hunting so close to the city, THEIR city now, was a terrible decision. at least heidi was smart enough to bring their meals from farther out. legs crossed, long blonde hair stopping at her waist like a pale, golden waterfall --- jane was doing her best to appear human, she was rather good at it ( after all she’d had over a millennia to practice ) but usually people didn’t speak to her, whether from the described angelic beauty about her or slight dangerous aura about her she didn’t know. nor, really, did she care. but none the less, contacted green eyes turned to the young man as she spoke. she laughed, a bell like sound, and put on a sweet smile. “ unfortunately they are though. it’s sad though, such a horrific way to die. ” it wasn’t sad to jane in the slightest, a bear attack was probably a day on the beach compared to being a vampire’s meal.

Despite the girl’s polite response Carlisle knew hostility was always just below the surface. Every word was deliberate and careful around Jane, aimed at keeping the precarious peace between his coven and hers. He saw no reason to test how long it took for tension to turn to violence. His warm smile never faulted, and his body remained mainly relaxed as the small vampire turned her head towards him. “I’m glad.” He replied simply, the words being entirely truthful. “It’s unfortunate you had to move from Volterra. I’m sure you miss it.” Carlisle didn’t miss the flicker of movement in Jane’s unnatural green eyes, his own golden ones following them to a girl. It elicited a greater smile from the Doctor to see the usually emotionless vampire display some interest in another. “My family is well. We, of course, came to assist when we heard the news.” A solemn nod of acknowledgment followed his words, watching carefully as the blonde approached. “How is Aro?” He finally asked about the leader, not only wanting to know such a powerful vampire’s mood but also of his ‘friend’.

     she constantly felt the desire to inflict pain on others --- it was, as some would say, her greatest default. a shrink would probably say it was brought on by her horrific childhood, she endured constant beating from the village children who were scared of jane and her brother. a shrink would say that, and it was true. but when you’re with the volturi....you begin to enjoy it, enjoy the power you have, enjoy the forced respect shown to you. “ volterra was the only home i ever knew, i do miss it, ” it was a truthful confession. her eyes left the child, she saw the smile on the male’s face and she wanted to smack it off, but aro would not have that -- no harm was to come to carlisle cullen or his family without permission. it made her clench her fists. “ aro is well, and he will be pleased that you’ve come. he considers you a friend. if you hadn’t come....well, he wouldn’t exactly be happy about that. ” jane stopped before the doctor. anyone looking at them would not think jane was dangerous in the slightest, the other probably, but not jane. how wrong they would be.

     “ do you normally ask strangers to get in your car and drive off ? --- or is this a one time only thing ? “ she raised a fair, perfect brow: contacted eyes blinking in attempted human-ness.

He had missed the freedom of walking in broad daylight, being unafraid of sunlight hitting his crystalline skin and revealing his nature. In South America the climate was warm, which didn’t bother Carlisle, but the sun kept him a slave to the indoors. Here, in Denali, he felt a lot more… human. A stroll through the streets of the city cemented that feeling, though when golden eyes spotting a familiar blonde vampire his carefree demeanor vanished. Carlisle had heard of the Volturi making a temporary home here, in the town of his extended family, but seeing the arguably most dangerous and intimating member sitting casually on a park bench still unnerved him. Ever the diplomat, however, the vampire push his anxiety beneath the surface and placed a welcoming smile upon his lips. “Jane.” He breathed out from across the park, hands crossed over his chest. His voice was quiet but easy for vampire ears to hear. “I’m glad to see you seem comfortable here.” Golden eyes flickered from the ancient girl to the child running into the trees, unable to hide a slight skepticism. Still, he continued his polite words. “How are you and your coven adjusting?”

     she could smell the man before hearing his voice, and if her eye could twitch it would. carlisle cullen. of course he would be here, lord knows aro probably knew by now and would be dying ( figuratively ) to have his ‘ bestie ’ come by their estate for a visit which meant she’d have to hear her sire fawn over the blond...again, like she had so many times. JANE put on a kind-ish smile, inclining her head toward the younger vampire. “ carlisle -- yes, we’re adjusting quite well thank you for asking. ” temporary green eyes flitted over the children, stopping for a moment on the girl from earlier. she was playing with some flowers, jane could see the girl’s tears fall on the flower’s petals. the droplets sticking like morning dew. “ and you? how is your...family doing? ” the angelic blonde stood, beginning to make her way toward the cullen leader. heads turned as she walked past but she paid them no mind as her focus was on aro’s D E A R friend.

      J A N E wasn’t as heartless as people believed her to be, she did....feel? if that was the word for it. feel emotions, like; anger, devastation, and sometimes longing. for more. for something, she wasn’t quite sure. then, at that moment, she felt...malice. malice toward a group of children playing in the park. yes, she had decided to enjoy the dull, grey afternoon with a walk in the park. she left the robe at home, instead only wearing a ( what could be considered ) wednesday addams-esque dress. alec was...well, he was off doing his own thing and she didn’t feel like being cooped up in her room. look, another feeling. the aforementioned children were picking on a young girl, who reminded the vampire of her younger self. she resisted the urge to cause them pain --- instead she sat on a bench, residing to watch them with narrowed eyes. the venom in her eyes hadn’t yet dissolved the green contacts she was forced to wear to keep from startling the humans. as she sat a ball bounced toward her and she bent to grab it, giving a sickeningly sweet smile to the kid ( one who had been picking on the girl )who came to get it. he was, of course, slightly dazzled by the girl’s angelic appearance. in a second her smile disappeared, and she threw the ball ( with restrained strength ) into the trees out-skirting the park. “ fetch ! ” she dead-panned, coldly watching to kid scamper off.
