Hi, new story for me! I saw New Moon and was inspired to write this. I know Jane and Alec are brother and sister in the books but in this story they are NOT REALATED!! Just a note because if I don't acknowledge it I will properly get flamed, so no flames please. And please review for me. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Open Wounds, Closed Hearts.

The moon held itself brighter then usual in the sky tonight. Its shimmer echoed through the wave of airy fog that circled the Italian sky. It's swirled slowly, as if it's choice to be lazy, staying above the city, keeping the buildings and people clear but the dark sky smoggy.

Jane stood silently staring out of her room's window. The dark grey stone set in an arch of her window, framing her. She was a stunningly beautiful girl; blonde hair, dark clothes, full red lips that accompanied her blood red iris. She looked no older then fourteen, she had a face of an angel, her figure light and petite. Perfection is what she held.

She watched the quiet world of the dark evening below with its pitiful humans running about their evening business. She liked it best during the evenings, it looked beautiful with its evening glow, the moon especially tonight was full and ripe. There were also fewer humans around during the night and that was always a plus in Jane's book.

The soft summer air pushed the front of her hair back and it rippled behind her shoulders softly. Jane's red eyes averted to her left and her head moved a fraction of an inch in that direction too. She already smelt him.

Sweet Vanilla.

Alec.

The corner of Jane's mouth moved half an inch upwards as she turned her eyes back onto the city they controlled. The Volturi. They ruled this city, but their power stretched far beyond these walls too. The fear was their power.

Fear. Jane smiled more widely. She liked the word.

"Why do I have this feeling that you're scheming little sister?" Alec's voice broke the silence.

"Oh no brother," Jane whispered, "I am only thinking."

She turned her back on the city and it's humans to Alec who stood leaning against the doorframe on the other side of the room. He gave her a smirk and she smiled at him, her beautiful face making her look like something from heaven.

Alec had his red cloak around him, his black attire barely hidden underneath. His chestnut hair fell just above his eyes, identical to hers; blood red with a quiet hunger raging behind them. Jane liked that about Alec. He was kind, patient at times. Everything she was not. But many did not see Alec as the danger he should be given credit for.

He was a few inches taller, her body broader yet still slim but he was just as beautiful as her. In fact she thought Alec was the most beautiful of all the male vampires in the Volturi. His angelically youthful features brought many female vampires weak at their knees.

"Did you enjoy yourself?" Jane couldn't help the bitterness seep into her voice.

Alec suddenly laughed and watched as the fury began in Jane's eyes and moved to her face, "Have you not missed me Jane?"

Jane stubbornly didn't answer, her glare only deepened.

"You are not still disappointed you could not go?" his smirk widened. He enjoyed teasing Jane when they were alone. She would never use her gift on him even if he pushed her too hard, she loved him too much. Alec couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in that fact. She loved him more dearly then she did Aro.

But he would remind himself quickly afterwards, just not in the way he wished she would. He knew Aro had that privilege. Jane, Aro's little child mistress. It was one of the worst kept secrets in the Volturi coven. But then again they were the Volturi; there were no secrets.

Except maybe his.

"I'm just as talented as you," Jane hissed, "Aro should have sent me too!"

Alec's smirk dropped and he moved gracefully towards her, like a wisp of red smoke with a beautiful face. He stopped right in front of her. They stared at each other, Jane having to tilt her head a little to keep looking him in the eye.

Alec took Jane's small hands and brought them to his lips and kissed them softly, never letting his eyes leave hers. He watched as the bitterness in Jane's eyes faltered.

"Not for the world would I let you come with me on such a mission. You are too precious to me Jane."

He then realized her hands and turned away from her widened eyes. He rarely saw Jane in shock but he did not stop to savor such a moment. As he walked towards the door he called over his shoulder, "Aro wants to see us all."

Somewhere in Italy, 1783.

Alec sat stunned by his older brother's revelation. No. It was a lie. It wasn't true! Lie! Lie! Lie!

Antonio gave his brother's shoulder a small squeeze, "Mother thought it would be best to pass Jane off as you're twin. It was easier that way. Nobody need know she came from the east."

"You're lying," Alec's face paled further, his voice rising, "You're just like them! You hate us too! Jane is our sister. She is my sister. My…"

His voice faded, his throat closing around windpipe. He shook his head. He stood, ready to run, ready to fight. It didn't matter. He just needed to stop this from happening.

"Listen brother!" Antonio gripped Alec's shoulders tightly, his dark brown hair falling into his eyes, "You. Must. Listen! Why is she the only one with such pale hair and reflection? She does not come from any man or woman in our family Alec! Why do people who make her angry feel pain in their bellies? I tell you its evil! She is not our sister! She was dumped on the stone steps of this very house, I watched mother bring her in Alec! I watched her with my own eyes! She is from the east! She is a witch!"

Antonio spat the last word out like it was a vile word against God. Alec felt a feeling like no other rise up within him. It snaked like a fire burning him open. Without warning he drew his fist back and punched Antonio in the mouth. Blood sprayed from his brother's mouth but Alec didn't wait to see his reaction. He ran. He ran up the old wooden stairs and screamed Jane's name.

Her bedroom was empty. A most icy acid settled in his stomach.

"Mother!" Alec called out.

No answer.

He ran back down the stairs feeling the panic beginning to rise within him. He went straight back to Antonito who was now struggled onto his feet. He glared at his younger brother, ready to fight. But Alec was too panicked and angry to think properly. He grabbed Antonio's loose white shirt and spun him until he slammed him down onto their kitchen table.

"Where is she!?"

"Alec please-"

"Where is she?!" Alec spotted a kitchen knife his mother used for cutting bread lying on the table. He snatched the abandoned knife in his sweaty hand. Antonio saw this and began to speak fast and frantic, his eyes on the knife.

"You don't understand Alec! Jane, she's evil brother-"

"I swear as God as my witness, you so much as call me brother again I will cut you open! Now where is Jane!?" Alec roared pushing the knife into Antonio's throat as it broke the skin a little, a tickle of blood coming.

"Alright! Alright! Please!"

Antonio gasped for breath before continuing, "They've taken her down to the village center. I-I told the priest of my suspicious of Jane. He followed my lead and it's true. She's from the east; a village where the people are devil worshipers and practice witchcraft. The priest with a mob came by earlier when you were with mother collecting supplies."

Alec stood perfectly still, shock flooding him. He took a step back, knife still gripping tightly. Antonio straightened.

"Don't you see Alec?" Antonio whispered, "She would be the death of us all. You have to see what I did was for good, for the good of our name Alec, she is a witch child. She is not our sister. Mother took her in because she is such a good Christian, but when Jane started to make people hurt, when she called Moses' parting of the sea a hoax and at God in human flesh she laughed Alec. She laughed at God's words. She called it nonsense!"

Alec turned his eyes back to Antonio, "What will they do to her?"

Antonio's voice lowered even further, "You know what they will do."

Without another word Alec turned his back and ran for the door but Antonio was faster. He grabbed Alec's arm and pulled him back, "No! You cannot save her! Nobody can save that witch!"

It was so fast that Alec didn't even realize what he'd done until Antonio screamed out. It came from within him, as if on pure instinct. He swung around and plunged the knife deep into Antonio's neck.

What happened next felt like a blur for Alec when he remembered it now. He'd run to the village center and there was Jane, tied, bloody, bruised and crying to a stake, the hay swirled around her. Their village priest called from the front to the roaring crowd, "We have lived with this filth for too long! We have let the devil take his place here by this human!" He pointed a finger accusingly at Jane who struggled against her binds.

Alec had tried to called out but the roar of the village mob drowned his voice. He pushed his way hard to the front as the priest cried, "We shall be rid of you devil spawn! You witch! You shall never haunt our streets and homes again!"

"No stop!" screamed Alec as he jumped onto the platform. He saw Jane's eyes widen at him. A murmur ran through the crowd.

"She's my sister!" he cried, "She's not a witch!"

"Silence boy!" cried the priest, "See how this devil child controls us people! She has young Alec in her grasp! Come Alec! See the light! Hear God's voice! Do not let this witch have you-"

Alec's roar of anger stopped the priest, "She's not a witch! She not! Let her go!"

He ran to Jane who was staring at him and crying. He climbed onto her hay and began to pull at the ropes.

"Alec," Jane whispered.

"Oh Jane I'm so sorry!" cried Alec, "I should have protected you."

The crowd began uproar at Alec's actions but the priest got to Alec first. He seized Alec and as the boy attempted to throw him off he growled in Alec's ear, "They will kill you Alec, leave the girl!"

"She's my sister!" Alec snarled so dangerously that the priest looked dazed for a moment before he took a step back and muttered under his breath, "So be it!"

"The boy claims to be the witch's brother, her twin!" cried the priest to the crowd as Alec tried desperately to release Jane. Suddenly someone grabbed him from behind and he cried out thrashing and kicking, "The same blood flows in their veins! The same evil!"

"Burn him too!" the villages cried as Alec stopped his furious struggle from horror at the words, "Burn them both!"

"No!" screamed Jane suddenly, "Please! Not Alec!"

The crowd cried, "Witches! Burn the witches!"

"No Alec!" screamed Jane as she watched them tie her struggling brother to her stack.

"Jane!" cried Alec in reply.

"God see you're work before you!" the priest cried as touches were carried towards them, the fire danced in Jane and Alec's terrified eyes, "Bring peace to our village! Rid us of these witches! Cleanse our souls from their impurities, burn the devil from them back to the fire cages of hell!"

Alec was pulled back from his most vivid human memories as Jane pushed open the door to the main hall of the Volturi castle.

He sometimes remembered Antonio's words and when Jane's gift was confirmed he could help but wonder. He didn't want to believe it but maybe Jane was not his sister. Of course he had never told her what became of Antonio or his story.

But sometimes he wished he had. He watched as Jane approached Aro who took her little hands in his own and gently kissed her perfect lips as a sign of greeting. But Alec knew it meant more. He knew Jane's eyes would light up at her master's greeting. Alec had heard the moans coming from Jane's room when the moon was at its highest.

How many times did he wish it were him instead? To hear his name come from her lips that way. How many? He'd lost count.

Jane would never love him more then a brother, because she believed him to be her brother. Nothing more. But she was happy with Aro and it killed Alec to let her be.

Alec felt his chest tighten as Aro called, "Ah, my dear Alec! You have returned! At least! Our little Jane has been missing you so! Come let us hear what you have found."

I hope you all liked it! Please review for me! :)
