I took a chance, I took a shot,

You may think I'm bulletproof

But I'm not.

Tell Me Why – Taylor Swift

Chapter Three.

"Hey!" She said excitedly, opening the door to the backseat. She squeezed into the backseat, shoving Jasper aside and closing the door behind her.

We stared at her through the awkward silence.

She looked between us.

"Did I interrupt anything?" She asked. She was trying to hide the smile from her lips as she said this.

Another awkward silence followed. Finally, Edward let out a deep sigh.

"What are you doing here, Jane?" He asked her, in a pained voice.

A smile grew on her face, the one she was trying to hide.

"I was hoping you'd help me pick my room. Remember? I'm moving in! I'm joining you! Oh it will be so fun. Alice we can go shopping non stop, Bella we can… do whatever you do." She said, grinning.

We looked at her with wide eyes.

"I can meet the rest of your family, I've only met Carlisle and you four, but I heard there was more! We can go on family hunting trips, it will be great!" She said with great excitement.

Once again, there was an awkward silence.

To my surprise, Edward turned around and started the car back up. It continued to drive along the driveway.

"What are you doing?" I asked out loud, not caring that Jane was in the car.

He didn't look at me.

"I need to speak to Carlisle." He said. His grip on the steering wheel looked unbreakable, and I knew if he didn't stop driving soon that it would break into tiny pieces.

We got to the house, parking right outside the door. Edward got out as soon as he turned the car off and was in the house before I could even blink. Alice unbuckled her seat belt slowly, with a shaky hand, and opened her door. She looked far away; like she was concentrating as she walked up the steps to the house. Jasper was by her side, looking at her with concern.

I got out of the car, following them.

"It's a nice house." I heard Jane say behind me, causing me to jump. She was following us in.

I turned to her, not meeting her eyes as she tried to go around me.

"Um, I think you better wait out here." I said in a small voice, looking down. She didn't say anything, but she didn't go any further.

Before I had to say anything else, I was inside. I softly shut the door behind me, but it was no good because it was glass. She was looking right at me. I wondered if she was trying to use her powers on me.

I shivered, then turned away and walked quickly into the meeting room.

Carlisle and Esme were already there. They looked at me as I walked in, worry covering there normally happy smiles.

"Where is she?" Esme asked, looking around me to see if she was trailing behind me.

"She's at the door." I said in a quiet voice, looking down.

"What do we do?" Jasper asked, looking towards Carlisle. Carlisle was quiet for a moment.

"I'll talk to her." He finally said, pulling his arm from around Esme's waist. He was looking at Edward, and I guessed they were having a silent conversation.

Rosalie and Emmett came into the room.

"Ick. I smell bad vampire. Jasper, did you lose control?" Rosalie asked. Jasper flinched, hurt by her accusation.

Carlisle walked out the room then, looking back at Edward once before he was out of sight.

"Jane's come." Edward said, turning to Rosalie. He, to, seemed annoyed at her accusation. Rosalie looked surprised.

"Here? In Forks?" She said, looking at Alice and I. Edward nodded.

"Sorry Jasper, about before." Rosalie said, and I knew she meant it. Jasper nodded quickly.

Rosalie turned back to Edward.

"Why is she here?" She whispered.

"She wants to join the family." Edward said, looking in the direction where Carlisle went. I guessed he was listening to the conversation. We all turned in that direction, trying to listen.

"Your Kidding, aren't ya?" Emmett's loud voice boomed, causing us to all turn and around and shush him.

He laughed at our reactions, but stayed quiet.

"I understand you have left the Volturi, but your lifestyle does not fit with our family. Unfortunately, we do not wish for you to stay with us." Carlisle said.

There was a short silence.

"So because I drink human blood, like a normal vampire, I can't join you." Jane said in an unrecognizable tone. It sounded a little surprised.

"That is correct." Was all Carlisle said.

There was a long silence that followed, and something told me Jane was thinking.

"So if you don't mind, it would be greatly appreciated if you leave our small town and find a new coven; one that does fit your lifestyle." Carlisle said in an awkward tone.

"Wait, wait, wait. So say if I, I don't know, changed from drinking human blood to animal blood… I could join your family." Jane asked.

There was an awkward silence, and we all looked at each other, waiting for Carlisle's answer.

"I'm.. Afraid not." He finally said, stuttering.

"Why not?" She asked quickly.

"Because we do not wish for you to join us, Jane. You have caused enough trouble for this family once before. Now, please, leave. Go back to your brothers, it's where you belong." Carlisle said in a stern voice.

There was a long, deep silence. I thought Jane must have listened to Carlisle and left, until Edward became tense by my side.

"No!" He said loudly, breaking the silence that had lasted the whole conversation, making me jump.

"She's. Attacking. Carlisle." Edward said in a horrified voice. He left my side quickly, followed by the rest of us. Esme's face made my heart sink; it was full of worry.

We walked into the room to see Carlisle on the ground, frozen. His eyes were closed tightly, and he was shaking in fits of pain.

"JANE." Edward and Esme yelled at the same time, using the same anger.

Jane looked up from Carlisle, startled.

Her face turned evil as she looked between us. Her eyes lightened a bit when she saw Esme, Rosalie and Emmett; the three she had never met.

"I think you should leave." Esme said in a stern voice, something that she had never done before.
Jane turned back to Esme. Her face tilted in interest.

"Jane. Now." Edward growled, standing with Esme.

Jane bit her lip, looked at us all once more, and then turned away.

She mumbled something to herself, but no one listened. Emmett helped Carlisle off the ground. He looked a little embarrassed.

"Are you okay?" Esme asked; concern in her voice.

"I'm fine, now. Thank you, for telling her to leave. I forgot about her power for a split second, and I snapped." Carlisle said in an apologetic tone.

"Don't worry. I don't think she will be coming back now. I think she got the message." Rosalie said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Okay, now we have a problem. If she doesn't leave town, which I don't think she will just yet; we need to watch her. We need to know why she's here." Carlisle said, taking control again.

"Why did she leave the Volturi is my question." Jasper added. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Why Edward can't read her mind, and why I can't see her future." Alice added, speaking for the first time. Carlisle's, Esme's, Rosalie and Emmett's face's all pulled up in surprise.

"I think Aro must have taught them how to block people out, he must have learnt from Victoria. I thought it was a gift, but apparently not. But Alice can't see her future." Edward said, gesturing to Alice.

"So, we're completely blind, is what you're saying?" Rosalie said. Jasper frowned.

"Not exactly, Rose. Jasper has a gift aswell. He can feel her emotions." Edward replied, a little annoyed at her.

She turned to Jasper.

"What she feeling?" Rosalie asked.

Jasper looked a little embarrassed.

"Not much." He admitted. "But she's up to something. She was feeling upset when she was here, but when we were at school, I don't know, I couldn't pick the emotion."

"So, we're still blind?" Rosalie said, turning to us. We nodded, giving in. We really didn't have anything.

Carlisle sighed.

"I guess we're just going to have to watch her. If she leaves town, then we don't have to worry. But if she doesn't; and that's the more likely; then we're going to need to watch her very carefully."

"I think she's up to something." I blurted out. Everyone looked towards me.

And there was a silence. Everyone was deep in thought.

"That's not such a bad idea, Jasper." Edward said, breaking the silence. Everyone looked between them, wondering what was going on.

"Jasper was thinking, what if Bella became friends… of some sort, then she could find out what she's up to." Edward looked down at me. I looked at him with wide eyes.

"She'd never fall for it. She knows I'm afraid of her." I said, looking away.

"It doesn't have to be Bella." Jasper added quickly. I looked up, to see him slowly turn to Rosalie.

We all then looked at Rosalie.

"She doesn't know Rose, she only knows that she's part of this probably wouldn't expect it." Jasper said.

Rosalie groaned. "Does that mean I have to go back to school?" She whined. Esme chuckled.

"Only for a little while. Until we find out what Jane's up to." Edward said. Rosalie groaned again, but agreed. I was glad Rosalie could, I didn't think I could even pretend to be her friend.

"So it's a plan?" Esme said, looking between us all.

"It's a plan." We all agreed.
