Disclaimer: SM owns Twilight. I only own Jade. And the plot.

I'm sorry about the wait! I promise you I didn't forget it but I spent the past few weeks being lazy, then finding a beta, then not being able to come up with much.

Thank you any reviewers to my last chapter!

And also a great thanks to LittleNessie12! You are such a great beta and you've really helped.

Enough chit chat! Enjoy!

It's amazing how you can be so doubtful of something one moment and the next thing you know you're head over heals for what you didn't believe in. So here I find myself walking to Aro's office along side Alec to discuss something we were both aware of. Alec was so sure that Marcus would be there which only made me ten times more nervous. Alec looked completely at ease beside me. I glanced at him and he gave me a smug grin. Knowing he could hear my heart thumping along was bad enough, now I could hear it too. I grabbed his hand quickly so I wouldn't lose balance; I feared I was going to faint. When we were ten yards away from Aro's study, I grasped his snow white handed tighter. Of course, he noticed my feeling of unease.

"Are you okay?"

"Sure." I sighed, although anyone could clearly tell that I wasn't. He didn't say anything because we were right at the door. He wrapped on it three times lightly, then came a "Come in." from the other side. We walked in to all marble and stone and the smell of wine.I was much like the throne room.

Aro was sitting at his desk, where Marcus was sitting a few feet away and a very sullen looking Caius on the opposite side of Aro. Marcus was his usual unanimated lookign self- but hey, three milenia, no sleep- I don't blame him.

Aro , in contrast to others, was ecstatic ," My young friends! Sit please!"

Caius greeted us with a roll of his eyes when he caught sight of me and Alec holding hands. Or Aro's loud greeting. I couldn't tell.

We walked towards the two chairs in front of Aro's desk. Alec held the chair out for me and I sat down gently in it, trying to be on my best manners. Being mere human, that was probably the most I can do to please three thousand year old vampires.

Oh yeah, that's another thing- I'm not aloud to say things like that about myself in front of Alec, he would just deny it. God love him; he's a sweetheart.

Aro started in a serious tone, " So it seems you two are a couple..." He paused, as if waiting for an answer. I refrained from saying "Naw shit, Sherlock." (because clearly, I was being polite) and was thankful when Alec gave the more appropriate response:" Yes, Master."

Aro's voice piped up a bit "And it seems, you're inseperable." He looked at our intertwined hands, at Marcus, with anxious eyes, waiting for an answer, then back at our hands. Marcus offered his hand which Aro covered with both of his. He held it for a minute, then released it for minute before he continued, " And you are not," He cleared his throat," Doing the deed, yet?- You know what I mean."

I blushed deep scarlet and looked down. How could he ask that question? It wasn't his business. It's not like we ask if he's ' Doing the deed' then again, we really have no reason to. Alec took the question again and answered with a firm "No."

"Quit looking down child, there's nothing to look at on the floor." Caius scoffed. He really does creep me out sometimes but he wasn't permitted to hurt me and I don't think he would. There was something with the elders that you could trust, I guess it's because they set the rules. Or more like, Aro sets the rules and Caius and Marcus have to go along. And I sure may not know a hell of a lot about Caius but I do know he is a skilled fighter and it seems like he would have pulled Aro's head off a long time ago but I guess it's smart of him not to... because, after all, Aro does have Jane on his side.

I looked back up, though I couldn't hide the embarassment in my eyes. I avoided any eye contact and let my eyes trail around the room. They eventually settled on the papers.

Aro continued," But you are watching her sleep?" Okay, now he's making it sound like Alec sound like a creep.
"Yes sir."

"Well, Marcus here says your relationship with young Jade here is quite close. And despite the audience you had in the room yesterday, it didn't stop you two from kissing." Aro paused. "...So I have an offer."

"What is it, Master?" Alec asked. I wouldn't call Aro Master; it would make me feel like a dog. Aro is not really a bad man, he's been good to me. Fuck, he was about to kill me and here I am to tell you all this. And he's been kind of fatherly to me too but like any other person who hasn't seen their dad in three months, that's kind of hard to think about. Aro just gets kind of annoying sometimes. Even Sulpicia agrees. It might be the fact that one moment he's cheery, but the next, it's like he's Mr. Supreme Ruler of All, ready to smite you with a snap of his fingers.

"How would Miss Jade here like to live next door to you?"

They all looked at me as if waiting for an answer, and I spoke up for the first time, " Um, sure sir. I would like that."

Aro clapped his hands together,making the sound echo around the room." Well, it is settled. We shall move you tomorrow." Aro switched gears all of a sudden. "Now, as guardian of Jade, I would like it if you don't go to far with the relationship, just as long as she is human. It's good to stay on the safe side...you could kill her."

I didn't really know when Aro himself thought himself as my 'guardian' but if thats how he thought himself over me, okay. Hell, I'd only been here for three months and I still wasn't used to having my mom tell me to do the laundry or have my dad constantly remind me to do things that I had already done. Annoying things, yes, but I miss having my parents on my ass or my siblings surrounding me asking me to play with them. I knew I was on the verge of tears so I cleared my mind of those thoughts. I was staying in Volterra, or I'd die.

Alec answered ' Yes sir' or ' No sir' to the rest of the pointless question while I sat back deep in my thoughts, leaving only a portion of my mind to whatever Aro had to say. You could tell Marcus and Caius were doing the same.

Aro eventually dismissed us and relieved me of my boredness. As planned, the next day I was being moved into the room next door to Alec. That room had been vacant for a long time. Alec said it belonged to one of the guard who had broken a rule two centuries ago.

Felix and Demetri moved the furniture and me and Alec gathered my personal belongings in boxes and carry them down. The superstrength and speed became very handy in this particular situation. We had it done in about half an hour. After that Felix and Demetri challenged us to a game of hide and go seek. We all go throught that time as a kid where we used ' Eeny meenie mighty mo' as a way to make desicions but in this case Demetri was always 'It'. Of course, Demetri found us everytime. Anytime we play this game, we each hide seperately on the last round. Alec went towards the kitchen and Felix ran down stairs. Its not really fair that I'm human, giving me disadvantages. I try to think of the smartest places I can to hide. I've hidden with the wives, in th cabinets and in the tunnel before each time being found with Demetri's amazing tracking skills. This time I thought of something different: the elevator.

I went to the elevator, where I do my best thinking. Anytime it would go to a floor, I would press a random button and go to another one. I did that about four times. I was going to the first floor, not really knowing whether or not Felix and Alec have been found yet when the doors opened. Right there waiting for me was Demetri with a wide grin.

"Oh crap..." I ran out, knowing it wouldn't do me any good. When I was least expecting it, I slipped on a liquid. I ackwardly fell down and hit my head on the floor. Demetri had been running, slowly for a vampire, and apparently hadn't picked up on it. He ran right over my right arm that was splayed out on the floor. All I heard was a crack and then a huge jolt of pain. I felt a few tears leak out from beneath my eyes. Demetri realized what he had done and ran back in my direction. He knelt done beside arm. I felt paralyzed but I sat the rest of my body up. It didn't take but a glance at my arm to see that it was snapped in half. I had never broken a single bone before but my first reaction to this was nausea. I gasped, looked up at Demetri, glanced back at my arm, then started hyperventilating.

Demetri picked it up to examine it as if trying to play doctor. Please excuse all the pervertedness in that last sentence. My tears were right on the surface.

"I'm sorry, Jade. I didn't mean too."

Gianna who had just gotten off the phone saw what had happened and walked over. "Oh my..." She practically whispered.

"It's my fault." Demetri said with a look of guilt in his eyes. I looked back up at Gianna.

"Is there anything I could do?" She offered.

"Felix is in the throne room, Alec is in the kitchen. Go get them."

Gianna nodded and was off. Demetri slid his hand up to the center of my back as if I couldn't support myself.

"I would pick you up, but Alec is much gentler. And it might get his mind off killing me."

Before I could respond, I heard an all to familiar voice coated with a foriegn tone. Anger. "You better pray I don't get my sister at you. If I weren't worried, I would." Alec stepped out of the shadows with a scared looking Gianna. She turned into the throne room.

Alec laid his eyes on me and dashed forward. He knelt down and gently grabbed my arm. He looked at it for a tenth of a second then back up at Demetri. "Explain." He ordered.

Gianna walked out of the throne room with Felix and Aro at her side. We ignored them as Demetri sighed.

Demetri explained what happened nervously. When he finished I quickly said "But is was an accident. Really it was my fault."

Demetri shook his head at me "No, I should have been more careful."

Okay, dumass I was trying to take up for you. I thought, suddenly annoyed. Be chivarous if you want- but you might just end up in a pile of ashes.

Alec still looked angry at Demetri but picked me up. He ignored mine and Gianna's gasps and turned towards Aro. "What should we do Aro?"

Aro had a blank expression." It seems we will have to do what all mortals do when they are hurt. She must go to a hospital."

Gianna piped up " But master are you sure you can handle that?" Was she referring to his control? When was the last time they had all fed?

"Gianna, you drive Jade to the hospital. We run and find a kill on the way." Aro said calmly.

"But Master-" Alec was cut off.

"There will be no more accidents today. It's safer for Jade if we are well fed before we go to a place where there is enough blood to last us a decade." Aro said in a final tone.

"Can I carry her out to Gianna's car?" Alec asked; I don't know why, he would do it anyway. He was a stubborn fellow.

"That seems appropriate."

So from there on I was being guided to Gianna's camaro. I knew the Volturi had too pay her pretty well but damn. I was set down in the back seat and as soon as the door was shut Alec ran off in the direction of the others.

And then I was being driven to the hospital trying not to look down at my arm.

"Are you okay back there?"

Well I'm just dandy I thought to myself. Instead I answered with "Uh huh."

We pulled into the hospital and I was guided with Gianna's arms around my shoulders as I cradled my arm. We walked into a lobby with an elderly couple, a teenage boy with blood staining his jeans, two small children with runny noses and one red headed little boy who was about to puke. To late. I never have been a sympathy puker but the puke that I had been holding back for a while now spilled right in front of us onto the floor.

I knew it would be a while till I get to see a doctor and I had puke all over my shirt. Alec was giong to come and see me like this. Great, this was going to be fun.

Okay, I know it's kind of cheesy and cuts off in a weird place but I will think of something better for the next chapter. Love ya, all my wonderful readers!

If you would just do me a favor and go to my profile, there is a poll on there: What should the name of my Renesmee/ Jacob fic be? Please vote!

P.S. If you review this, that just makes you ten times more awesome!
