Finally dug up this story from the scary depths of my mom's computer, so I shall post it now!! 3 chapters pretty much for this story, but I hope you like it! Sequel to Diary of Jane, so read that first please!

Seth walked quickly through the woods. He enjoyed being outside because it was peaceful, but now he wanted to get home. Jane had gone to see Alec, and Seth hadn't seen his imprintee for a week.

Seth had wanted to come along, but Leah had not-so-kindly pointed out he wouldn't be welcome. So, Seth was stuck in America while Jane was in Italy with a bunch of evil vampires assholes.

He'd tried to get Jane to stay of course, the Volturi couldn't be trusted, but learned the hard way (through a broken wrist) Jane had a mind of her own. It was hard dating a vampire.

With a slight bounce in his step he passed the Cullen's (and his he corrected himself) living room windows. A flicker of white caught his attention. With a tilt of his head he walked towards the closed window and saw a piece of paper caught in it.

He pulled it out and tried to uncrumple it. It was useless though, considered how beat up the paper was. Then, he recognized Jane's small, neat handwriting. Intrigued, he read it.

April 15, 1547

It has finally become warmer. Alec and I are now in charge of the farm since Papa died, so this will prove to be a difficult time. Mama has tried to help out, but mostly she can do nothing more than cry and silently hate us. Mostly me. I have also been sad, but Alec has helped me. He is a blessing and I do not believe I deserve him. After all, most of our heartache was my fault, and even after birth I hate Papa because of Tessa's death and that is a sin. I know this. Mama has tried to correct my sinning by pounding the faith back into me between crying spells. It isn't working. She says I need to prey but how can I when I do not believe in a God? After all, if he did exist, how could he put this curse on my family? Still, I will at least pretend to believe, if only for the sake of staying alive.

Seth raised his eyebrows and read it again. This was confusing. Jane hadn't opened up about her past, and now he kind of understood why. Curse, hardships, death? Very bad stuff. He'd have to ask her about it.

***

Jane laughed softly at a joke Jacob cracked about the Volturi. Everyone was surprised at how quickly she'd changed. Gone was the evil psycho, and in her place was a sarcastic, fun-loving new vampire. She was a whole new person.

"Jane!" Seth called as he entered the house, diary entry forgotten and a giant grin on his face. Jane's smile grew ten times larger as her boyfriend enveloped her in a gentle hug.

"How'd it go?" He murmured in her ear.

"Great. Alec is happy, and Aro seemed to have forgiven."

Seth frowned and looked at his scowling sister. "Unlikely." They said in unison.

Jane rolled her eyes and as she did she saw a crumpled up piece of paper in Seth's hand. "What's this?" She asked, taking it from him.

"I was hoping you could tell me."

Jane's smile turned into a frown as she read the entry. "I haven't read this since I rewrote my journal a few years ago." She read it again. "Where'd you find it? I thought that…"

"I did too. Apparently it blew out and got caught in the window.

Jane nodded and handed the paper back. "Guess you're curious now, huh?"

"You could say that."

Jane sighed and sat down on the couch. Seth joined her. "What do you want to know first?" She asked him.

"Who is Tessa?"

"Our sister. She died when Alec and I were eight."

"How?"

So, Jane told the story.

October 15, 1544

Tessa rolled over on the bed so she was facing the sleeping Jane. Jane's dark brown hair covered her small face, and Tessa had to laugh. While her hair was blonde and stringy and almost certainly resembled a pile of dirty hay, Jane's was completely straight and neat.

Tessa shook her sister awake, causing the younger girl to groan loudly and swat the hand away.

"Jane, we're going to the river."

Jane's dazzling blue eyes shot open. "But-"

"Papa and Mama are in town."

Jane grinned and hugged Tessa. "You are the best sister ever!"

Tessa smiled back. "It's not every day my siblings turn eight."

Jane released her hold on Tessa and jumped out of bed, rushing to the tiny dresser at the other side of the room in record time. She was bouncing around so much it took twice as long for her to button her dress up.

Tessa noticed how the old, dirty and stained gray dress looked a lot better on Jane than it had on her when it was new. Usually when wearing that dress, even though it was old it was Jane's favorite, she tied a blue bow around the middle to add a splash of color. Today though, it was forgotten. It was just get lost in the current.

Tessa was slower getting out of bed. She knew that there was no hurry, as the twins would celebrate for a long time before they were ready. She watched as Jane skidded from the dresser over to the corner of the room where Alec's bed was. That boy was usually hard to awaken, but not today because of one thing: Jane.

Jane took a running leap and landed on his bed on her stomach. "Alec!" She said excitely, right in his ear. Alec turned over and mumbled something. Jane stood up and started to jump around. Any other time Tessa would yell at her for it, considering the mattress of straw was not very durable, but it was fun to watch their antics.

"River river river!" Jane chanted annoyingly. Alec's head popped up. "Get up!" Jane urged. Alec soon obeyed, every bit as excited as Jane was.

It took twenty minutes for Jane and Alec to stop celebrating and actually want to leave. When that time came though, they wanted to leave right away. At this point Tessa was downstairs cutting bread for them to eat quickly.

Jane zipped down the ladder that led from the loft to downstairs, snatching a piece of bread from Tessa once she got to the bottom. Alec was hot on her heels, but he tripped up as he reached for a piece of bread.

"Haha!" Jane taunted.

Alec quickly shook it off and went after her at full speed. Jane's eyes widened as she dodged to avoid her brother. Tessa followed with a slight smile lighting up her face.

***

Jane twirled around Tessa, her dress floating around her. "How come Papa let us go?"

Tessa blushed and hid her face. Alec scowled. "We're not supposed to be going are we?"

Tessa pointed her dull brown eyes at her siblings. "Oh come on, it's your birthday! We need to celebrate!"

A grin spread across Alec's face. Jane clapped and danced around. She loved the river. It was beautiful, and fun. Papa never let Jane of Tessa go down there because it was unladylike. It they can work on the farm though, why couldn't they play in the mud? The logic wasn't very logical.

The three soon got into a game of chase to pass the time during the long walk there. Tessa ran the fastest because her legs were longer. Alec was clumsy, so he didn't do very well, but Jane was easily distracted and that didn't help her.

Still, despite the disadvantages the twins had they arrived at the river quickly. Tessa had been sensible enough to bring shoes, but Jane and Alec didn't, so they jumped right into the shallow area, already in a splash war.

"Be careful to-"

"Stay in the shallow water!" Jane and Alec finished in unison.

Tessa rolled her eyes as she took off her left shoe. Alec aimed a splash at his big sister and it soaked Tessa completely. He snickered as Tessa glared at him. Then, it turned to a look of alarm as Tessa jumped in the water.

"Jane, help!" Alec cried as Tessa bombarded him with water.

"I can't choose sides!" Jane yelled as she made her way towards the shore. She liked it better this way anyway, watching her siblings have fun.

Finally, Tessa and Alec declared a truce and joined Jane on the shore.

"I won!" Alec declared proudly.

"I won!" Tessa insisted.

"No, I did!"

"Jane, who won?"

Jane shook her head. "It was a tie."

They talked for a long time about anything and everything: dreams, chores, and you-know-what, although Tessa tried to keep them off of that grim subject. Her siblings didn't really enjoy their gifts.

The three were having a great time until they heard a twig break. It seemed innocent enough, but no animals would come near them when they were being this loud.

Snap. Snap. Snap.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Jane shrunk back into Alec, who hugged her tightly.

"We were celebrating their birthday." Tessa told their father calmly.

It was amazing how calm she kept as she looked at the big man who looked ready to explode.

Papa's eyes took in their still-wet hair and mud covered clothes. "I told you not to come down here!"

"Sorry Papa." Jane and Alec said together, almost automatically.

Tessa just avoided his eyes. Papa took a step towards her and slapped her hard across the face. Tessa cried out in pain and put a hand over her stinging cheek.

Jane wiggled away from Alec, feeling like she needed to defend her sister. "Stop!"

Papa looked at her, eyes blazing. "Excuse me?"

"She didn't-" Jane started as she got to her feet.

"Did I ask you?" Papa asked furiously.

Jane found a new interest in her bare feet and studied them, trying to avoid her father's eyes. Her temper really needed to be controlled. Tessa was going to help with that.

"No!" Papa answered for her. He roughly grabbed her by the hair, causing Jane to let out a yelp in protest. As he dragged her towards the river she realized what was happening.

Tessa did too, and she stood up in shock. Jane struggled desperately but her father's grip held.

"I'm sorry!" Jane whimpered.

"You must be punished. The devil has corrupted you, I will cleanse you of your demons."

He knelt down near the deepest area and dragged her down with him. Jane's blue eyes closed in fear as he, her father, thrust her head under the water. Jane couldn't focus her power through the fear coursing through her body, and she felt helpless.

Alec could however, and he stood back and concentrated while Tessa tried to get their father away from Jane.

It was complete chaos after that.

Jane was splashing water, Papa was yelling, Alec was trying to concentrate, and Tessa was fighting.

Then, Papa screamed and let go of Jane to flail wildly and claw at his eyes. Jane scrambled back to shore so she wouldn't fall in the water, gasping for breath. She could have sworn that half of the river flooded out of her mouth.

Papa swung his arm back and it slammed into Tessa. Tessa's swung her arms frantically, but to no avail. Her balance failed and she fell backwards. With a deafening plop she was swept away by the rushing current.

Alec's concentration was broken and Papa regained his sight. Jane ran over to the edge of the river, but Tessa was long gone.

Jane placed a soaking wet hand to her face while she sobbed. With an eerie calm Papa stood and walked back to the house.

"You-" Alec started.

Papa swung around and stared at him. "God has shown me what was meant to happen. Tessa was the one corrupted, and she influenced you. He struck me blind to prevent me from killing Jane and instead made me to kill Tessa."

"But I-" Alec wanted to explain that he'd been the one to temporarily blind his father, but was cut off.

"Do not question him!" He yelled before storming off to the house.

The twins then held each other close for hours, crying endlessly.

Present,

Seth stared at Jane in shock. "That…really happened?"

Jane nodded. "I can only remember the important things. Important things my ass. They're more like the worst things."

Seth wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. "I'm sorry."

Jane shrugged and stared at the wall.

"Jane, Jane!"

Jane turned towards the door and found Renesmee running towards her. The little girl had gotten more used to actual talking because, sadly, it was easier. Renesmee shoved another piece of paper into Jane's hand.

"I found it!" She said proudly.

It was slightly burnt but mostly there. Jane smiled at her but handed the paper to Seth instantly. "Thanks Nessie." She ground out, trying not to make Renesmee sad.

Renesmee looked at her oddly before running back out of the room. Jacob owed her a trip to the beach.

Seth reluctantly looked at the diary entry.

I know the formatting in screwed up. Sorry! If you liked it or even hated it please review! PLEASE!

Oh, and I wrote this months ago so please don't hold that against me lol
