CHAPTER – 9

Aro, Marcus and Caius were sitting in the throne room after just having fed. They were all discussing about the two members of the Romanian coven who had somehow defied them and escaped during the battle in Forks. Just as they were talking, Felix entered the throne room and said "Master, Jane is here"

Aro was confused, why would Jane willingly disobey his orders, he wasn't sure and beside him Caius said "You shouldn't have sent her to them Aro, what were you thinking?"

Aro knew how protective Caius was over both Alec and Jane, they were after all his great great great grandchildren. It was how they got to know of the powers of Jane and Alec after all. Aro was also worried about Jane, eventhough he hadn't been attached to them in the beginning, Jane and Alec had grown on him as well and he had a fatherly affection towards them.

He was brought out of his musings by a door opening to reveal Jane and she sauntered forward into the throne room and looked at the three brothers.

Jane was a little nervous about this meeting and eventhough she was sure Aro wouldn't punish her, she felt stupid for running and coming here for some reason. However, one coven of vampires she could manage but two and especially Kate, she did not want to go to Denali or be with the Cullen's anymore. She was going to be firm and tell Aro exactly how she felt.

Aro and Caius got out of their comfortable high chairs, sensing Jane's distress and staying a few feet away from her. They both knew how her temper tantrums could be and when she was distressed, it just wasn't good to provoke her. Although, she had never dared to torture them.

"What is wrong, my child?" Aro asked as he dared to get a little closer to her, followed by Caius who was visibly worried.

"The Cullen's decided to go to the Denali's in Alaska, I can't be with them Aro, they are absolutely infuriating……..such……" Jane took a deep breath and said "they provoke me too much and I cannot go back there, Kate, you know she is out to get me………" she looked up and Aro came closer his deep red cloak billowing around him. He took Jane's hand and saw what had happened when she was with the Cullen's.

He chuckled quietly as he let go, his deep crimson eyes filled with amusement as he noticed Edward in Jane's mind and almost immediately understood what it meant. However, he wasn't sure what to do now, he had never anticipated a connection between Edward and Jane, actually he had thought that after Bella's death, Edward would probably just end his existence. Their relationship had an astonishing intensity after all. He knew Jane didn't know of anything and didn't suspect anything now but he couldn't let her leave alone to Denali, that much he knew.


"Why don't you go in and have a talk with Alec while I decide what to do?" Aro suggested as he gently lead Jane out of the throne room as she nodded her head absent mindedly. He closed the door to the throne room and saw that there were still guards present around them. He knew he had to talk to his brothers alone and said "Marcus, Caius, why don't we go to the gardens for a while?"

Caius and Marcus got up and so did their guards but Aro said "There will be no need for guards" and this surprised his two brothers and they knew that Aro if Aro wanted to talk with them alone, it must be something important. "It is not like we are frail old humans needing to be taken care of all the time" Aro continued good naturedly as the guards relaxed and went back to talking among themselves.

Aro, Marcus and Caius all wearing deep, crimson red robes walked towards the gardens swiftly and gracefully. There were three Victorian style armchairs in placed in the porch as they all sat down and kept silence for a while before Caius got impatient and said "Well, what did you want to talk to us about?"

"I have seen in Jane's mind that there is a connection between Edward and our dear Jane" Aro said quietly and calmly observing his brothers for a reaction. Caius didn't seem to fully understand and Marcus looked uninterested like always.

"What kind of connection?" Caius asked not one to like drawn out sessions of chatting.

Aro took a deep breath before slowly answering "A connection between mates"

He looked into Caius's outraged eyes and Marcus's surprised ones. "But it can't be……they were too much close…." Marcus said seemingly in disbelief.

Caius screeched "Impossible Aro, our Jane cannot be that stupid mind reader's mate, impossible" he was shaking in anger as he thought how his brother could sit so calmly while insinuating that their Jane, who hated Cullen's was one of the Cullens' mate.

"I do not know how to explain it either, I thought Bella and Edward were meant to be, the astonishing amount of control he had with her was just unnatural yet I see it so clearly that Edward does have a connection with Jane……..it is interesting.." Aro stroked his chin as he contemplated the seemingly unexplainable thing.

Caius burst out again clearly agitated that his brother was so calm, "That is it, Jane will not be going anywhere near the Cullen's again"

Aro looked up and sighed, Marcus had resumed looking uninterested and Caius looked furious. Aro didn't like it much either but it wasn't about them, it was about Jane. "Do you not think that it is high time Jane had a mate as well Caius?"

Caius looked completely outraged before saying "Jane is a child, a wonder child to be protected and cared for well as the Princess of Volturi, she doesn't need a mate"

Aro chuckled which made Caius look even more outraged and said "She is far from a child and she has taken a liking to him too……."

Before Caius could argue Aro held up his hand and Caius stopped and Aro continued "While it is true that we should and would protect and care for her in this castle and I am not happy about this ………developments much either, I would like you to consider Jane here, if she does like him, we might as well allow her the freedom……who knows, maybe in the long run he will join us….."

Caius snorted at the word developments and said "The Cullen's hate us Aro and the mind reader especially hates us more, even if Jane has to find a mate, she could choose someone else and it is not like she wants to go back to them either, why don't you just let her stay?"

Aro looked anxious before moving forward with a grave expression in his crimson eyes before imploring his brother to understand what he was saying "She has been trapped in this castle for four centuries, she knows no other comfort than Alec…."

And before he could continue Caius smirked and said "Alec, Oh, he isn't going to take this well"

"We aren't telling him or Jane" Aro said firmly and continued "I am sick of not letting them to live, of planning every move of their existence Caius…….I am sending Jane back" at Caius's murderous look Aro again out his hands up and said "With Alec as well, he is more than capable of watching her and if she is ever hurt mentally or physically, know that I will know brother and I will be the first to avenge them for her pain" Aro finished firmly and Caius sensing that there was no way to convince his brother otherwise scowled and let him be, after all Alec would have all of their throats if they ever tried anything but he still didn't like to let go of both of them.


In the high tower of Jane's room, she was breaking anything and everything in sight as her brother stood calmly by the door watching. She muttered a lot of incoherent words which would have been plain gibberish for a human but not for vampires. In her rage she didn't even notice her brothers lingering scent of raspberries and oak as she continued her assault.

"First, I have to put up with his bratty attitude……..then his idiotic, I'm so beautiful, everybody fall in my feet stupid of a sister………and having him hear my every thought…………not being afraid of torture, of me! .........Ahhh, then he ruins my plans with a supposed mate………..and I still can't get the image of him half –naked out of my mind……."

Alec stiffened at this and looked furiously at his sister willing her to look at him. He should not have left his baby sister out of his sight. As if hit by paranoia Jane suddenly recognized her brother's scent and prayed that it was not him, she turned around only to stand face to face with her brother, just perfect. She knew Alec was only really angry when he was protecting his sister. She remembered how once they were on a mission to kill newborns and the coven's leader had expressed his interest in her a tad too much and Alec had personally fought with him, without his power and ripped him apart agonizingly slowly and thrown him into the fire himself. They usually let Felix do all the dirty work but that day Alec was so demented, even she had been scared.

"Alec, how have you been my brother?" Jane asked shakily, anything to make him break his stare.

"Quit the nonsense Jane, what is it about this supposed mate and the half –naked man?" Alec's crimson eyes burned with rage and he was barely in control of himself as his voice came out eerily calm. But before either of them could speak Aro came in and seemed to realize the tension in the room.

However he ignored it and said "Ah. Good that your both here, I am sending you both to the Cullen's"

"WHAT?" they both asked outraged as they looked at Aro as if he had gone mad. Didn't he know, he was putting them in grave peril.

Aro held up his hand indicating that there was no room for arguments and said "Cheer up Alec, you'll be meeting Rennesme again"

And Alec completely forgot about his initial fury with his sister and had a hard time controlling his lips from breaking out into a wide grin. Jane noticed this too and was glad that her brother was preoccupied for she didn't know what she would do if he were to question her but she wasn't too happy to be going back to the Denali's, just the thought of Tanya and Kate made her want to rip them apart.

"I hope you will be packed and ready before midnight Alec and that is about one hour away, go on, you don't want to be late for your plane" Aro ushered Alec out of the door and Jane couldn't have been more happy.

Jane expected Aro to go out as well but he stayed and said "Don't let Alec's over protectiveness bother you, you are not a child Jane, he needs to know he cannot treat you so……."

Aro left leaving her wondering about his statement and she had to agree he was right, she didn't need to be afraid of her brother, he was the one who had to grow up but she knew why Alec was so very protective of her and only that made her keep her patience with him for so long but she could only take so much. She began to walk around the room opening her closet and finding a pair of tan capris and white top and a blue denim jacket to wear to the airport. She found a pair of sneakers and put them on. This was the second time in a month she had to travel in a flight surrounded by stinky humans, she was not happy.


Aro had informed Carlisle over the phone that Alec and Jane were coming which caused the whole family who were huddled in the living room to groan. The only one who seemed to be happy about Alec's arrival was Rennesme who was quite ecstatic and jumping around much like Alice when she had just finished a major shopping spree. To say Edward was disturbed was an understatement. He was glaring at his daughter who never payed him any mind as she continued to jump on the couch. Well, it was atleast better than being sentenced to death.

'Aro, I'll never understand why he sends the two most powerful vampires in his guard to us, surely it couldn't be because of Rennesme…….' Carlisle thoughts entered his mind, he shook his head slightly, his father was ever the curious man. That was something he and Aro shared, curiosity.

'If that little shit ever tried to hurt Rosie again, I will blow her brains out and…..' Emmett, of course always trying to earn darling Rosalie's approval, Edward snorted a bit and wondered if Emmett even knew how little a chance he had against Jane, probably not and why was he suddenly defending Jane, no, no, he wasn't, it was merely a fact.

'Oh, how I wish my children would be left in peace, especially Edward……I'm so worried for him..' Esme, the kindest women on the planet.

'I wonder if they like shopping….maybe I can have a vision, get to know them better, they're like the most formidable vampires to exist, I can't help being curious….' Alice, never the one to understand the word 'dangerous and serious'

'Alec's coming……weeeeeeeee, Oh it's going to be so much fun to make him eat human food again….hahaha'

Edward couldn't help but laugh out aloud at his daughters thought and everyone turned to him. That was the first time Edward had laughed since Bella's death and everyone looked on in wonder and curiosity. He looked up and explained what Rennesme had thought and everyone started laughing as well.

Rosalie picked her up from her couch and asked "Well, you're an evil little midget, aren't you? Tell me what else you made them do……."

Everyone was surprised when Rennesme shook her head and glared at Edward who was shocked to see his little girl angry at him. His little girl was never angry at him, he swallowed and looked away as Rennesme patted Rosalie's cheek asking her to take her to bed.
