Chapter 10 – JanePOV

I kept a close eye on Isabella as we sat waiting for the others to return with the Cullens. I was beyond furious that the Denalis had gone behind our backs and brought the Cullens into the ix but then again they didn't know who Isabella was or what the Cullens had done.

I could see Isabella's anger in her eyes, it was practically screaming out. But I also saw her fear. 'What is scaring my mate?' I thought to myself, the question was burning through my mind like our venom as I searched for an answer. Protective instincts over my mate were swarming to the surface of my control and without consciously telling my body to move I began making my way to Isabella. Before I snapped out of my gravitational pull towards her I was stood by her side and she sent me a warm whispered "thank you" that soothed my beast's desire to cause pain.

In minutes I heard the sound of dozens of feet hitting the ground in a steady rhythm from a distance. They were pounding and slamming against the snow, causing crunching sounds to resonate in my ears. They were getting ever closer to us. The closer they got to the house the more my anger and need for revenge n my mate's behalf increased. But I knew now was not the time or the place, I was here to do a job as ordered by Aro and they would not recognise Isabella. Silently I began vowing to only hurt them if they hurt my love first. Mentally I chuckled to myself knowing I would probably wind up breaking that promise.

Isabella seemed increasingly troubled as they approached, she was now stood, her eyes fixed on the door, blankly staring at the empty frame, her feet were minutely shifting every few moments.

"Isabella, are you ready for this?" I whispered softly into her ear and out of my peripheral vision I saw the others watching us with confused expressions showing plainly on their faces.

"I'll be fine Janie. Just, will you stay near me?" She whispered back and I noted the loving tone in her words, hearing that filled me with a warmth I had never known existed until I found her.

"Always Isabella" I murmured. The footsteps now had stopped and I heard the sound of the front door opening. A split moment after the door had opened the footsteps began, until finally the door was shut and I saw Eleazar, Carmen, Irina and Laurent all enter the room with looks upon their faces as the Cullens trailed in behind them. When they had all entered the room I relaxed my face into a bored, disinterested façade.

I swiftly took in each of them in turn. Scanning my eyes from left to right. Carlisle was stood nearest to the door, he was the last to enter the room. He obviously looked no different from the last time we had met. He still had the same blonde hair and golden eyes. He was the same height and build. The only thing that had changed were his clothes. He was stood before me in a pair of smart, dark jeans with a light blue button shirt and simple black shoes on his feet. His mate, Esme if I remembered correctly, was stood, tucked into his side by the arm around her shoulder. She had thick, auburn hair that fell past her shoulders, framing her heart-shaped face. Her features were incredibly soft looking telling me she was probably the oldest physically and had most likely had a child while human. She was quite small in height, not tiny but not tall either. Her legs were adorned by tight jeans and a beige, button top was tucked into the waistband of them.

The next member of the coven I took note of was a huge, burly vampire with curly dark brown hair, Emmett I surmised, wore a massive grin that humans probably found intimidating. He was still nothing in comparison to Demetri. He was dressed in very casual clothing, jeans again but he wore old trainers and a baggy, black and white striped sweater. A tall, blonde moved to stand in his arms. Admittedly she was gorgeous looking, like Heidi. She could have been a model. 'Still not as beautiful as my Isabella' I thought to myself smugly. She wore tall heeled shoes, adding additional inches to her already tall stature. She was wearing a tight fitting, baby blue tank top that revealed her cleavage and a black skirt that stopped a couple of inches above her knees. She would have looked perfect if it wasn't for the unmoving scowl she wore on her face. Definitely Rosalie.

Next was a tall, lean man with scars littered across his neck that screamed dangerous to me. Shaggy blonde hair covered his head. He wore a green, long sleeved shirt and a black waist coat. He wore black, baggy trousers and big military style boots. I noticed that he was standing with his feet shoulder width apart, feet facing straight forward. His back was ruler straight even though he seemed relaxed. Both hands were by his sides, except one was holding the hand of the woman next to him. It seemed he had positioned is left side to be just in front of her. Everything about him screamed military background. I took a guess that this was Jasper, Aro had told me about the gifted members of the Olympic Coven, and he mentioned one was from the civil war and the southern wars who's gift was empathy. That meant that the one next to him was the psychic of the family and his mate. The woman behind him was tiny, about my height. She had inky black hair in a pixie cut and her features matched. She was, like the rest, dressed to suit her personality. She was wearing black leggings and a long, grey and white striped shirt that stopped mid-thighs. Greyish boots on her feet added about two inches to her height. She seemed troubled, then again so did her mate for some reason.

And lastly was, I assumed, my least favourite Cullen. I assumed this was Edward from Aro's many descriptions and he was the only unmated in the bunch. His bronze coloured bed hair, that was poorly styled as I remember Isabella had told me about also told me who he was. He stood away from the others, he wore dark clothing as though he was expecting to attend a funeral and as I looked he was glaring towards me though I wasn't intimidated in any way. His deep voice soon answered my questions.

"Carlisle I cannot read their minds!" he hissed, thoroughly angered over his gift being rendered useless.

"Wow Eddie, first you cant read Bella's mind and now you can't read the Volturi people's minds, I think your gift is breaking" Emmett Boomed out with his extremely deep and extremely loud voice.

"Emmett, be nice to your brother!" Esme chastised the large vampire.

"Sorry Esme" He apologised instantly. 'Eurgh what kind of vampires are these people' I thought, sickened by their whole we're a family thing.

"Actually Emmett it isn't just Edward's gift that isn't working, ours aren't either, isn't that right darlin'" Jasper spoke and looked to the pixie stood by him.

"Yeah I can't see them. It isn't like with the wolves were we disappear by being around them, it is just them that I can't see. I see our decisions but it's like they aren't even here according to my visions. It's beyond frustrating" She complained and I just let out a sadistic laugh, thrilled that Isabella was able to piss them off already and without them knowing who she was. The "children" didn't like my laughing at them however.

"What's so funny to you?" Rosalie bitched at me and I raised my eyebrow at her in response.

"Rosalie calm down" Carlisle spoke softly and then turned to face me.
"Hello Jane, it has been a while has it not? I haven't seen you since I left Italy all those years ago. How is your brother? I must admit it is certainly a surprise to see you here and not have Alec stood by your side. In fact in all the time I was with the Volturi I never saw you two apart"

"Carlisle" I nodded my head as a sign of acknowledgement before I continued speaking. "Indeed it has been centuries since we last met. Alec is well, he even found his mate after all this time though I'm afraid I cannot reveal her to you without his consent. Alec and I have had many missions without one another, particularly since Isabella joined us this year Aro has me responsible for her you see" I spoke with forced politeness that was beyond obvious to everyone in the room. I regretfully knew that I had to show respect towards Carlisle, just like I did towards Eleazar or any friend of Aro's actually unless Aro told me otherwise.

"He found his mate after over 1000 years, how wonderful for him. Did you say Isabella?" He seemed troubled by the name and I had to stop my lips from twitching upwards.

"I did, she has been a member of the Volturi for over a year now. Marvellous isn't she? She seems to stop any gift from working on herself and others if she so chooses, that is why your family's gifts are not working when directed at us" I spoke and I couldn't help the slip of pride that was in my voice when I spoke of Isabella.

"Why the mask? And why shield your minds purposefully, do you have something to hide?" Edward ground out through his teeth. I just wanted to see him burning to ashes before me.

"My mask is my concern and there are a lot of things in our minds you have no business in seeing. Besides some people enjoy their privacy Cullen!" Isabella barked out and I couldn't help the smirk that was spreading even if I wanted too.

Tanya seemed to once again have to play peacemaker and jumped in.

"Okay why don't we all calm down. I would appreciate it if we could focus on why you are all here instead of opinions we have of each other" For the millionth time since I got here I wished I could just slaughter these pathetic vampires. Who the fuck did she think she was giving me orders?! I answer to the kings and Isabella, no one else.

A few hours later and we had a plan formed. Regular patrols would be run and in changing pairs. That way any scouts couldn't say who would be with who and try to work around that. Tonight's patrol would be Isabella and Rosalie. Neither seemed thrilled at the idea. I would have to make it up to Isabella because I nominated her hoping to be paired with her. Sadly the others don't seem to want us alone together unless we were hunting, which now we have to have someone else with us because we were gone so long last night. Probably thought we were forming some plan to kill them all when they weren't looking. Although I certainly wasn't opposed to the idea, especially now I had no way of having alone time with my mate.

After forming as much of a plan as we could at this moment in time I looked to the clock on the far right wall and noticed it was now 21:30. I stood from my seat and the others all glanced up at me from their own seats.

"I believe it is time for the first patrol to start. Now I am going to go to my room for the rest of the evening and I do not wish for any disturbances unless there is an attack. Goodnight" I then turned and gracefully I glided my way to the third floor where I had picked out a spare bedroom to be my own while I was here.

I so wished that I could have tortured each and every one of the Cullens! They hurt my Isabella! They just decided it would be okay to abandon her after making her feel like she was part of their family! And Edward used her like a play thing, as an object he could pick up, use and throw away. But I cant just go and torture them without revealing that Isabella is my mate and revealing who she is. Stupid fucking Cullens, I can't wait until they do know who she is and then they start begging for their lives like the pathetic vampires they are.

I hear Isabella and Rosalie leave the house for their patrol and I feel a pang of longing deep inside my chest. I should be beside my Isabella not the blonde Cullen. I lie like I am on the bed for the night. It wasn't until a few hours later that I hear a commotion downstairs.

"Oh my God! We have to get to Rose now!" The small pixie Cullen screeched. Part of me hoped Isabella was beating her but the deep, unsettling feeling inside me told me otherwise.

"Why Alice what's happening?" Jasper questioned her but he seemed to be remaining calm.

"They've been ambushed! There are four newborns and one of them has Rosalie pinned to the ground, the newborn was twisting her arms!" When the word ambushed registered in my brain I ran downstairs as fast as I could and grabbed the the smallest Cullen by her arm, spinning her to face me.

"What did you see about Isabella?" I growled at her and she just shook her head.

"Well she was-" she went silent as her glazed over after a few brief moments before she blinked her eyes then continued speaking.

"She's gonna fight a newborn and then I saw him cracking her neck and I came out of the vision!" Panic, rage and worry overcame me and I let out a snarl that cause Alice to back away from me.

"Alice, Emmett, Jane and I will go help them" Jasper spoke authoritatively and Edward just had to complain.

"I should go I can read their minds in a fight" What a child!

"No you will stay here. We need jasper for his experience, Alice for her visions, Emmett for his strength and that Rosalie is his mate and I am going because I deal with them regularly. You on the other hand have no experience fighting newborns and your gift only works so far in a fight" I commanded and before he could protest Tanya stepped between us.

"Edward will stay" And then after looking at the others we took off to find Isabella and Rosalie.

AN: Well I hope you all are enjoying this and don't worry it won't be long until the Cullens find out who Isabella is and oh my God we are halfway through the story all ready!
Review please :D
