Jane and her twin, Alec, are borderline immortal children. The reason they're only 11 or 12 is because their village tried to burn them at the stake for being witches. Aro knew about them and was waiting until they became adult to change them. However, since the village was burning them, Aro killed the entire village, and had to quickly turn the twins to immortals before they died. They are the youngest surviving vampires known to exist. So, you'd have to ask Myer to "up" Alec's age if you are sincere about her writing a book about him. I'm not sure a book about a 12 year old vampire would do all that well.
