Plot
A man in a black robe observes a pair of twins playing in the garden of their house. Jane, the older twin, seemingly immobilizes a butterfly trapped in a small cage. He then introduces himself to their mother and makes his acquaintance with the twins, and acknowledges their special gifts. Jane finds him particularly intriguing. The man disappears without a trace right after, to the horror of their mother.
Years later, the twins have reached adolescence, but the villagers have grown fearful and hostile towards them because of their gifts. One day, while Jane and Alec are walking home after playing in the field, Jane wanders off alone to pick flowers for their mother, before she is brutalized by three local boys, causing her to lose control of her power and consciousness. When she comes to, the boys are nowhere to be seen and she is covered in blood, with no recollection of what has happened.
The villagers accuse the twins of murdering the missing boys and decide that they must rid the village of their wickedness. That night, Jane and Alec are being burned at the stake while their mother is murdered, trying to save them. As the villagers cheer at their execution, Jane, consumed by hatred, begins to slip out of consciousness due to the burning pain while Alec continues to scream in agony. An unexpected sound of horrified screams snaps Jane awake, and she and Alec see all the villagers suddenly massacred before them, and Aro, the man in black who visited them years before, appears before them. Jane grins at his appearance.
The scene ends with Aro rushing at Jane and biting her. Her eyes, fiery blue before, turn red as her conversion to vampirism begins.
