Grant Charles had lived a tough life.
That hadn't changed once he had become a vampire. As a human, he had fallen in with the wrong crowd. He considered himself lucky though as that wrong crowd meant that he was turned into a vampire. However, just like his human life, he had once again fallen in with the wrong vampire crowd. He had met a pair of mates and they enjoyed the life of being the apex predator.
The coven leader, Antonio, was a vampire who had been turned during the Spanish Revolution. Antonio's wild ways led him to his mate Liliana, whom he turned to shortly after the meeting. They had spent decades feeding off humans and left a trail of destruction in their wake. That's how Grant had come across the two vampires. He had been engaging in less than stellar activities as a human and it piqued the interest of the two. Antonio later turned Grant and the trio started their reign of terror. Feeding and terrorizing humans as they pleased without a care in the world. Unfortunately, they had drawn the attention of the Volturi. Antonio had told them many horror stories about the Volturi and what would happen to them if they were ever caught. As strange as it was, it was this fear that made Antonio often injure himself...almost as if Antonio knew the Volturi would catch up to them one day. Antonio was mentally and physically preparing himself for the torture he would experience. Grant and Liliana had dismissed Antonio's strange self-harm ways and chalked it up to Antonio being overly paranoid. After all, one doesn't survive a revolution without a healthy dose of paranoia. Besides, what would Volturi care about the three of them?
As it would turn out, the Volturi had been monitoring the trio for a while and after their latest terrorisation of a rural human community, the trio's luck had run out. Now, Grant, Antonio, and Liliana were being dragged through the hallways of the infamous Volturi coven to the dreaded throne room. Grant watched in horror as the doors were slammed open and he and his coven members were dragged by the Volturi guards into the foyer of the throne room. Terror consumed him as his gaze fell upon the three infamous vampire kings. Aro, the mind reader sat in the middle throne. Caius, the ruthless blonde leader to Aro's right. Marcus, the half-dead leader (who strangely no longer looked half-dead Grant noted) sat to Aro's left. Antonio and Liliana were thrown to the ground by the red hooded guards and Grant followed closely behind. The guards made sure to keep the trio trapped within their grasp.
"Ahhh," Aro said as he stood up and approached the three restrained vampires, "The not-so-subtle hunters. I'm assuming you don't need me to explain why you're here?". Grant chose wisely to remain silent.
"Who are you to decide where we can and can't eat? We made everything look like an animal attack!" Antonio hissed angrily. Liliana shrieked in agreement with her mate.
"Tsk tsk tsk," Aro hummed as he placed his hand on Antonio's head. Grant watched in both horror and fascination as Aro read Antonio's thoughts.
"How naughty indeed," Aro pulled his hand away and walked back towards his throne, "Jane?". Dreaded instantly consumed, Grant.
'That's the crazy vampire Antonio always feared. This is bad! This is so bad!' Grant thought to himself.
A red hooded vampire appeared in front of them and Antonio suddenly hunched over, his body shaking slightly. Grant and Liliana weren't so lucky, however. They both started screaming as their pain receptors lit up and it felt like their bodies were on fire.
Antonio, despite his shaking, slowly lifted his head and stared at the hooded vampire in front of them, "I know all about your powers bitch. I ain't gonna give you the pleasure of my screams!". The pain suddenly stopped. Grant managed to lift his head up to see why. From the rumors he had heard about Jane, merciful was not a term that applied to her. It was only then that he saw a beautiful, brunette-haired vampire standing next to the red-hooded vampire that was Jane. She was dressed in a dark purple gown that had a deep plunging neckline with silver heels. She appeared to be wearing several pieces of expensive jewelry that matched her glowing bright red eyes.
