Jacob smiled at me as I begged with tears in my eyes for him not to leave me to hunt for Victoria. "Bells, honey, I won't okay? Let's go back to my house." I saw that he wanted to hunt Victoria, but he was safe with me which was all that mattered. I wiped off my eyes and we walked holding hands from the beach to his house.
He dropped my hand to open the door and I gasped in horror at who was standing there. Most certainly she was a vampire, her vivid, scarlet eyes and alluring beauty proved it. Her height and figure reminded me very much of Alice. I shuddered it still hurt to think her name. Beyond this I saw that she had a very child like quality to her. She smiled and flashed perfect, sharp teeth. Edward's voice popped into my head and said, "Bella, run! Now! Quickly!"
Shut up! I screamed in my thoughts. For once his voice was not a comfort and surprisingly he did shut up. I shook my head and looked into the vampire's face, which was now frowning. Before any of us could speak she darted forward and grabbed me and ran until she was at the airport. I was too shocked to say anything or scream. She walked in pulling me by the hand until before I knew it we were on a plane to New York. I finally found my voice and asked, "Who are you? What's going ON?"
She smiled and said, "I'm Jane and well for the second question, the Volturi will have to answer." I gasped without thinking and she seemed very surprised that I recognized the name, Volturi. "Well, well it seems Edward really has told you quite a lot." I shuddered at the casual usage of his name and didn't say anything until we landed. Once we landed I asked if we were flying to Italy and Jane said yes seeming again astonished at how much I knew. All the way to Italy my thoughts ran as to why I was being taken to the Volturi and what was going on. Then before I realized it we had landed.
She held my hand as we walked into the light of Italy. For the first time I noticed she was wearing a floor length black dress. I knew I was in some kind of trouble. But what did I do? Or was this something they did? Or because I know about vampire, but how would this child-like angel know?
We were soon walking to a parking lot that seemed to be devoted to expensive cars. She led me to a red car with tinted windows and for a split second I actually wished Rosalie was here to tell me the make of it. It was pretty and loud, her kind of car. She smirked and led me to the passenger door and as soon as I was in, sitting, and had had my seat belt buckled I looked over to where she already had the key in the ignition. She slammed her foot on the gas peddle and sped away, swerving in between cars faster than I had once thought possible.
I looked out the window to distract myself from Jane's face. Through the window I saw castles and the Tuscan Country Side. I tried to block my mind from thoughts of the Cullens, but I failed miserably. I saw their smiling faces staring at me. I clutched my hands to my chest as my heart began to throb and tear. I had never felt this much pain in my heart before except for when he left me.
Sooner than I expected Jane stopped in front of a castle. I quickly glanced outside and realized it was well past twilight. I took a deep breath, unbuckled my seat belt, and climbed out. She was at my side before I could blink. She once again grabbed my hand and led my inside. Jane dance-like walked through the halls pulling me along with her.
She soon came to a long hall ending with beautiful double door, but she turned off to a plain door and walked in. Once we were both in she smiled and pulled the door shut. I had no idea why she was smiling until I looked at the far end of the room at a boy who could have been her twin. He danced forward, kissed Jane on each cheek, and smiled. "While sister I see you've accomplished your mission. I've missed you."
