Jane paced her chamber like a trapped animal. The comforter was shrewd in the bed and the ground. The rage had awakened the monster that asleep inside. The darkness that came with it wanted her to rip someone's throat. Anyone's as long it died under her hands.
The commended to let the monster out almost drowned her. She halt on her tracks shut her eyes and tried her best to calm the darkness that almost swallowed her up. The monster within almost roared with dissatisfaction as she calm down.
Minutes ago Aro had called her for a meeting. Caius and Marcus had been there too, but they rarely talk in those conferences. She was been chose to spent a few months with the Cullen's to check on their hybrid child.
"Jane," he had greeted her once she strode inside the room.
Caius and Marcus seat beside him, a glass of cold blood on glass set before them. She marveled why they had them, they never slurped from them. Their red eyes were empty and their smooth flawless faces blank of reaction. She didn't know why Aro had called her from her duties; she was inspecting a coven of rumored vampires, whom were killing humans. The human police was involve in the cases now.
"Sire," she bowed at him. "Why did you seek to see me?"
"Dear," he honeyed her. "There's a matter a bit of importance. We want to see how that hybrid child of the Cullen's is doing so far."
"How I could help?" She inquired him with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, I know you can take care of yourself and I trust you with this so I'm directing you to do this task."
Aro's words stunned her to say the least. She thought he wanted help with choosing someone for this sort of task. There few guards who were good at their jobs. Was he choosing her for her power?
Alec gift was superior to her gift and he was fit to finish such task. No, her brother was ruthless with the slightness threat he would kill anyone. It didn't matter if those people were human or vampires.
Even if he trusted her with such task he knew of her dislike of the coven Cullen. The demon within her stirred and the instinct of killing someone took over. Though she stayed calm and the demon nudged at her to attack.
She exhaled and her demon almost roared with discontent as she calm down. "How many months are we speaking, sire?"
"I'm not sure. But you'll need to stay a few months just to check the child."
"So I'm going to follow her around?" He bobbed at her words. Great, now I'm going to a babysitter for the hybrid, she thought. "When would I be leaving?"
"You'll be leaving in three weeks, child."
Her hands clenched, her fingernails bit her palms, but she didn't feel any discomfort. "I'll be ready, sire."
"Good then, I'll make sure everything will be ready."
She bowled her head and left the room. She ignored the glanced from the guards at the doors when she growled and made her way to her charmers. She breathed out and sank into the chair close to the window.
She gazed out the window, her eyes on the twinkling skyline of Volterra. Now that her mind was clearer, leaving Volterra could be good for her. It had been many years since she stepped out the castle and seen the world. There was a knocked on the door and she called in her brother inside.
His gaze moved about, his eyebrows furrowed with confusion. "I would speak with, Aro."
"No." She spoke with intent. "He won't listen to whatever you have to say."
"Still I would try for you, Soror." He strode to her and dropped to his knees. His hands cupped hers fondly.
"I'll be fine," she smirked. "OK?"
"Fine."
Shortly minutes later Jane followed Alec to the training grounds. She would use a little time to train with Demetri and Felix to keep her mind busy for the time being. She wasn't going to waste her time getting angry for her upcoming assignment.
The doors pounded on the wall surprising Edward. He glanced at his daughter whom had fallen asleep on the sofa while he read her a favorite book of hers. He knew something was wrong when he peered at Alice and Jasper as they return from their hunting trip.
And the fact that Alice wasn't letting him read her mind alerted him. "Alice what's wrong?" He queried her standing up.
"Where's Carlisle?!" She inquired him frightened. Jasper clamped his hand over his wife shoulder. That seemed to calm her bit, but she was frightened. "Edward?"
"He's at the hospital. He called Esme minutes ago he has work over shift tonight." He explained evenly. "Alice what's wrong?"
Dread engraved her face. "I just had a vision."
"Love," Jasper whispered to his wife.
"Alice," Edward stated in a low voice. Fearing the worse of this vision. "Tell me."
"I foresee––" she steal a look at her niece, "that that Volturi is sending Jane to check on Ness."

Edward stiffened, he growled at the mere thought of the Volturi coming to their home. Somehow they were at peace, watching his daughter grow, his family happy and his wife going to college to get a degree.
Though the fear of the Volturi was always in his mind, he wasn't surprised that about their decision. It had haunted him since the near battle they had one year ago. Why they wait a year though? He sunk to the sofa, he caresses Ness cheek.
"There's nothing we could do now," Edward spoke sadly. "We can't run or hide from them. And this is something I fear would happen soon or later." He peeked at his siblings.
Jasper was doing a good job at keeping his wife relaxed. Though their fear thoughts of Ness and what would become of the family spin in his head as if they were his own. He too feared for his daughter, but they had little in their hands to do something about it. And he wouldn't want his family in danger again.
"I'll wait for Carlisle and the others." He voice not gazing away from his daughter.
The hours that he waited for Carlisle to arrive home were the longest that Edward face. Alice and Jasper were seated on the other sofa; their hands linked glazing at his daughter sleeping. He was calm and he had to thank Jasper for helping him with his worry emotions.
As soon as Rosalie and Emmett arrived home, Edward had asked them to take Ness a bit upstairs and let her watch her favorite movie. Rosalie was happy about it, though he read her thoughts and she knew something wasn't right but she hadn't say anything about it. When he told Esme though she voiced her worried and fear for her grandchild. Jasper had been there to calm her a bit.
"Carlisle," Edward overheard Esme greeted him on the threshold. "How was work, love?"
"As usual a bit busy," he answered her lovely. "Though I have a wild and weird story to share."
"I would love to hear it, love." They strode to the living with their hands linked and grinning each other.
Carlisle glanced at him; Edward had seen that worried face when he told his family he was leaving when Bella had arrived to school. His father had been worried about him and had told him to leave to clear his head if he needed it.
His mind poured his worried thoughts. "What's wrong?" He asked his family. "Is my grandchild alright?"
"Carlisle," Alice spoke in a low voice.
He peeked at her worriedly. "Alice?"
"The Volturi has decided to send Jane to check on Ness." Edward spoke to his father.
Carlisle collapsed on the arm of the sofa, Esme stood behind him her hands clamped on his shoulders. Their worried thoughts drive him to the edge as his worried thoughts weren't enough. Sluggishly, he felt his emotions slowing down.
He peeked at Jasper, though his gaze was out the window he was soothing the emotions of the family. Alice grasped his hand and he gazed at her with blank eyes.
"I feared it was coming, though I wondered why they wait a year." Carlisle stated to his family. "We can't put this family in danger again. We got away with almost a near battle with the Volturi and we can't possibly do that again."
"I agreed," Jasper mention and glanced around. "We can't run so we just let's hope this don't end in bloodbath."
Edward nodded at his family. They had fair points and mostly he didn't want to put his family in danger again. He just hoped that his wife had the same thoughts as his family.
