For three years, the magnitude of the twins' abilities have been the whispers lingering the Volturi palace halls. Many of those that roamed the palace had yet to see the marvel that surrounded the youngest additions to the coven.
Lord Aro insisted that the lords and ladies of the palace maintained the secrecy of the twins' gifts until a precise time presented itself. Thus, the twins' gifts have remained a mystery to all but a select few.
Jane and Alec were no strangers to whispers and glances when they would enter a room since they had been subjected to it ever since their early years. It was a scenario that no longer plagued the twins following their transformation, as they embraced the prestige that came with being two of Lord Aro's most prized possessions.
However, not everyone in the palace believed the whispers of Jane and Alec's force. Others questioned the might of their gifts, especially since the twins were quite young. Despite it all, Jane did not feel the need to display her strength. She knew that her time would come.
Elizabeth, one of the guards that had been serving the Volturi for close to 5 years then, grew resentful of the twins. She had the ability to weaken others when her palm comes in contact with them, so she was rendered useless when Lord Aro discovered the twins.
Jane paid no mind to her, knowing she was superior to the brunette. However, Elizabeth chose to play with fire when she began to spread rumors in the palace that the twins' abilities were exaggerated and that they were being "protected" from the frontlines rather than being preserved as they were made to believe.

Jane and Alec were a few feet away from Elizabeth and her flock when she overheard the brunette belittling her in the main halls.
"𝘐 𝘴𝘢𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴' 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘐 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦." the brunette said with a tone filled with distaste as she rolled her eyes.
Jane's crimson red orbs darkened into a dark scarlet, her hands curling into a fist as she eavesdropped on the comments made by Elizabeth.
"𝘚𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳." Alec whispered as he placed his hand over her small shoulder, attempting to comfort his twin as he knew her restraint was thinning.
"𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘈𝘳𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯." Elizabeth expressed with a mocking tone as she laughed.
The petite blonde swiftly shoved Elizabeth away from her flock, hissing at her. In an attempt to weaken Jane, Elizabeth raised her hand to grab her. Jane promptly caught Elizabeth by the wrist, her lips curving into a smirk as she looked into the brunette's eyes.
"𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘯." she uttered, as she induced excruciating pain at Elizabeth. And without delay, Elizabeth's eyes rolled back as she was physically falling onto her knees, screaming in pain.
The room fell silent as many of the guards gazed at the two while the event was unfolding.
"𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯." she sneered as she grabbed Elizabeth by the neck – digging her nails into the brunette's neck as it slowly began to visibly crack.
You could hear from Elizabeth's escalated screams that the young blonde intensified the pain that she was inducing, as the echo of it became louder.
Low, choking sounds were audible as Jane dug her nails deeper into Elizabeth's cracking neck. Her eyes reflected a sense of self-satisfaction as she watched Elizabeth shrieking in pain.
"𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘦."
The blonde's eyes shifted its gaze as she turned to her creator, standing a foot away with a fixed look on his face.
Her smirk transitioned itself into a blank expression as she addressed him with an almost innocent tone. "𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳?"
"𝘌𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺." he spoke firmly as he looked at her.
In an instant, Jane released the hold that she had of the brunette's neck and ceased inducing pain.
The brunette fell onto the ground, almost lifeless, as the cracking on her neck began to heal itself.
"𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦." He stated as he briefly glanced at Alec before shifting his eyes back to her. Both Jane and Alec followed behind as Lord Aro began to walk.
"𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵." he declared, commanding the rest of the guards in the hall, as the three strolled away from the main hall.
