Sorry this took so long, school is a bitch, that's my excuse, I know it's not good enough but to make it up to ya this one is soooo long: D just to make sure everyone knows, this chap will take place 2 weeks after the last chapter ended. I'm cutting back on the action a bit simply to focus on Seth and Jacob's, to put it lightly, complicated relationship. Anywho, here we go! Also I usually don't use OC's in my story but I am making an exception, just one new character promise. A important one, and a needed one.

Anywho, enjoy!

Chapter 11: Come away little lamb

(2 weeks)

"You could try to have fun." Jacob said, adjusting his goggles.

"I've never done this before." I said angrily.

"I told you what I'm doing is easier." He said, rubbing my back.

"Well I don't have experience with either so shush." I said, nearly losing my balance.

"Ah it's a gorgeous day." He chuckled, staring up at the sun.

"Ahhh Jake!" he had let me go and I was starting to slide down. He grabbed the back of the overly large jacket and yanked me back.

"You're supposed to cross the skis so you don't move."

"Maybe I should have got a snowboard." I grumbled. He laughed and kissed my red cheek, red from embarrassment, I didn't gag when he kissed me that was some kind of improvement.

To explain, about a week ago, the Cullens sent Jake, Bella, Edward, and I to a place called the Cortina Ski resort in Italy. Why? So me and Jacob can lay low until things calm down in town…apparently a couple of the pack members want my head on a silver platter after killing Paul and Jared, especially someone in the council named Sam. Edward and Bella came to keep an eye on us…plus Edward has been here before and can show us the best places.

"Ok let's try this again." I said, pulling my goggles back over my eyes.

? POV

"Ready, set, go." I ran down the hill, my skirt flew behind me, my earrings jingled as I ran at incredible speeds down the hill.

"Slow down!" a voice laughed behind me. I turned and smiled.

"Not my fault you can't keep up!"

"Aww can it Shepherd!" he laughed.

"Ya ya…" I reached the end of the hill and slowed myself until I finally stopped. He caught up and sighed.

"I don't get it, why are you so fast? And so…I mean you aren't even out of breath Benedetta." He immediately shut up.

"Sorry…I forget you hate that name Dot."

"It's fine Cole." I said with a smile.

"Beautiful day." He chuckled. I grabbed his shirt and kissed him on the lips, he stared surprised.

"Um...why do you do that?"

"Kiss you?" I said curiously.

"What else."

"No clue." I said with a shrug.

"Life's too short to worry I guess."

"I…ya." He said, shrugging it off. It was why I liked him, he could tolerate me and my mood swings.

"We're almost there by the way…the super cool thing I wanted to show you."

"Oh?"

"Ya…"

"Good, then let's head out." Cole said with that dazzling smile of his. We walked through the small forest on the edge of town for about 5 minutes before arriving.

"Dot…it's a cave."

"A BEAR cave." I grinned proudly. The cave was about 8 feet tall and 7 feet wide. It was mostly covered in thick moss and leaves…but the ground was disturbed, like something (Bear, totally bear), was staying.

"How do you know it's a bear cave?" I pointed to the tracks, luckily it had rained the night before and the tracks were fresh in the mud.

"Oh…wow those are bear tracks, but a bear so close to town!" he said surprised.

"My thoughts exactly…I want to go check out the cave." I said. He gave me a shocked look.

"What if there IS a bear in there right now? You seriously think two 16 year olds can take on a fully grown bear, least of all outrun one?"

"Well, no but…"

"I mean ya I'm big for my age, but you're short, and skinnier than a twig, and even if you were bigger a bear…"

"SHUT UP!" I snapped. He stopped.

"First, 5.7 is NOT that short!" I snapped.

"Second, we have nothing to fear, its dead!"

"What?"

"I found the cave yesterday, I was checking around those bushes over there when I saw a bear limping to the cave, like it had been really badly hurt. Patches of fur were missing and it was soaked with blood. I know that thing has bleed out by now, I just want to check the cave, if it IS still alive, we leave immediately, it can't chase us, its badly hurt. Now any questions or you done pissing yourself?" He frowned.

"I'm good." I pulled out my trusty mini flashlight and clicked it on.

"Then let's get exploring." He laughed at me.

"You know we get you a Spanish accent Dot and you would practically be Dora the Explorer." I laughed back.

"And you could be Boots, you certainly look like him." I went first into the cave, mostly because he was still scared and probably figured if I was wrong, he could out run me and it would get me first…but the joke was on him, I was still faster than him and could easily outrun him.

Love you Cole!

The cave was much bigger than it looked on the outside. The inside widened as you walked through, it was covered in random rocks and the walls were about 95% covered in damp moss. It smelled like moss and forest floor.

"I hope we don't catch something." Cole mumbled through his shirt, he was holding it over his mouth.

"So paranoid." I grumbled, sweeping the flash light over the place. That was when I caught it with my flashlight.

"There!" I said loudly, making Cole jump. The bear was lying on its side in a pool of dried blood, its black fur looked sticky, and its body was marred with large claw marks.

"Jesus." Cole said, making a cross sign on himself. I just sighed.

"Cole…"

"Sorry, not religious, forgot." He said shyly. He got closer and I grabbed him.

"What are you doing? Can't you see its chest moving? It's still alive!" He gave me a confused look.

"What? What are you talking about…its half decayed?" I frowned.

"No it's…" My eyes glazed over in confusion. The bear looked different than it had just a few seconds ago. Half of its body was rotted flesh, the patches of fur that had been missing looked infected or something, maggots were falling out of the bear's mouth, the jaw was all but gone.

"But…I just…"

"Well well, what do we have here? A lost little lamb and her lost little sidekick." We both jumped and quickly turned, the flashlight revealed nothing. It was pitch black in the cave, without the flashlight we would be blind.

"Who's there?" I yelled, trying to not show how scared I was.

"Better question, what am I? I wonder sometimes…" Cole suddenly screamed and fell on the ground, the voice had come from behind us. I quickly twisted to the bear, and that was when I first saw her. She was wearing a black cloak; her eyes were a ruby red and her skin as pale as white marble. She was gorgeous…and absolutely terrifying. She was leaning against the dead bear carcass like she didn't even notice it. Cole suddenly screamed again, doubled over in pain.

"Stop! What are you doing to him?"

"Filling his head with fire." She chuckled.

"You are Benedetta Shepherd correct?"

"I go by Dot." I said defiantly. She laughed.

"Dot…just a Dot in the world correct?"

"I like it to remind myself I'm just a Dot in the universe ya." I said.

"How sad…but little girl you are much more than a Dot, you are so much more…and I can show you what you CAN be."

"I…please stop hurting him." I growled. She scoffed.

"Fine." Cole stopped yelling but was oddly quiet.

"Cole?"
"He just fainted, he'll be fine…Dot…Hahaha…I like that…such irony though."

"Who are you?" I said angrily. She smiled.

"Better question, who are you."

"I don't…what do you want?"

"I want you…my master has a great interest in you, in fact, he needs you greatly."

"Why?" I said.

"You have a gift, two gifts actually, and we simply want to…amplify those gifts."

"What gifts?"

"You don't understand why this stupid bear was alive one minute, but half rotted the next do you? This isn't the first time something like this has happened is it?"

"I…no." I said, shivering at the memory, but that's a story for another time.

"You can see the dead can't you?"

"Y-ya…I can see them, but I can't control it…I thought the bear yesterday was alive but…I just saw its last moments."

"Indeed, I killed this bear about a month ago." The girl said.

"We can help you control it, we can help you control all of your gifts."

"I don't understand, what its my other gift?" I didn't understand, I didn't think I had any other gifts.

"Well for one, I just tried to torture your mind about 5 minutes ago yet it didn't work…so likely something with your mind, we can help you control that as well."

"I…I don't…"

"You can either come willingly or none willingly, either way, I'm bringing you to my master, he wants to meet you himself."

"I…" I've always had good instincts…and this girl…she could make me do it, if she could cause Cole to faint without even touching him, causing him that much pain…who knows what else she can do?

"I…is that how you can control your…psycho pain thing?" I asked. She nodded.

"My master helped me…I know this sounds rushed but we don't have much time. We need you if we are to bring justice to…them."

"Them?"

"You get on the internet don't you?"

"Ya…"

"So no doubt you've seen the video of the giant killer dog." The images flashed in my mind.

"Ya I saw that video…wait you want me to fight that thing? I can't do…" she was suddenly in front of me.

"When you have gifts like mine you can do anything."

"H-how…" She moved so fast I hadn't even seen her!

"A gift." The girl said.

"Among others, I can do many things now, being a vampire has its perks."

"Y-you're a ..."

"Yes." The girl said.

"And if you come with me, I can make you one too, utilize your gift, become strong, immortality…you want that don't you? Especially considering you don't have much longer to live." My blood went cold.

"H-how…"

"Do I know about the tumor? Smell, I can smell the dying cells, it's a slow process but I can smell it, you have…what, a year at the most? Come with me and you won't die, you can live forever…"

"But…you drink blood don't you?"

"Yes…"

"I don't want to kill anyone." I said with a frown. She smiled.

"We don't kill those who don't volunteer. We have many who come to us wanting to die…"

"I…"

"I have a plane waiting to take us to Italy, where my master is, so you need to decide now, willingly or not willingly, either way we are leaving now…and I would prefer if I didn't have to bother with tying you up." I nodded.

"Ok then…I'll go."

"Good…then follow me, my plane is close by." She grabbed my hand and helped me out of the cave until we arrive outside, a piece of sun hit her skin and it sparkled like diamonds.

"Woah…"

"Another perk." She said amused. I was mesmerized before my mind took over.

"But wait…" she stopped and stared.

"What?"

"What about Cole?"

"You dropped the flashlight and he should be awake soon, he'll be fine." She started walking again but I resisted.

"Wait…one more question." She stared at me.

"Who are you?" She smiled.

"Call me Jane."

3rd Person

"Jasper…" Alice said quietly, staring at the wall of their bedroom. Jasper put down the book he was reading and stared at the frightened looking girl.

"What did you see?"

"I…the Volturi, they…they've made their move."

"When are they coming?"

"I…that's just it, they aren't coming, instead Jane…Jane just took a girl."

"What why?"

"They…need her, she can see the dead, but can't control it, if amplified by vampire powers she could…show people the dead."

"So? It's not like she can resurrect people."

"I know…it's the other gift that is freaking me out."

"Another gift?"

"She…she can manipulate people's memories."

"What?" he said shocked.

"She…they are going to use her to…change memories...with that the Volturi could control anyone, make them think that they are loyal servants…"

"What would they…" she just stared at him.

"It's not obvious?"

"Ya…I just…was hoping it wouldn't come to that."

"They have to be warned…everyone does, we have to destroy her before…they find Jake and them."

"They can't be here…we have to hide them." Jasper said with a shake of his head.

"Somewhere remote…somewhere right under their noses, they won't expect it."

"Italy…that ski resort Edward was thinking of taking Bella to."

"Cortina."

"Perfect…we need to inform the family…" Alice said. She sighed.

"This isn't going to end well."

Please review…again sorry for the long wait, I'm already working on the next one so I'll be quick to finish it. Love you all!
