Chapter Twelve
When we were finished and "good to go" we had a half hour before leaving behind everything, everyone and the protection we were giving people here. I returned, more joyfully, home not remembering the chances of death to find that Jacob was very sorrowful and didn't want to even look at me before I left because he couldn't think of a good enough reason to come along. I told him that I'd only be gone for three months at most. It seemed to make him feel worse, probably because I didn't remember my odds of living, but he tried to mask over his pain and hurt enough to kiss me and hold me before I had to leave. I packed nothing knowing I wouldn't need anything and if I did I could easily recover it from anywhere I wanted.
I did feel sad leaving but a bit angered to see Jane again. I didn't realize that she'd even still ask why I was coming instead of Edward.
"What do you mean? You sent your little spy to find out what was going on. He didn't tell you miss mighty?" I asked her feeling very angered.
"No, he told me. But the deal was that Edward, Alice and Kat would come. Like you said, what need of a werewolf do the Volturi have?" she asked.
I couldn't say how much that angered me but I answered coolly, "Then why did you have such a calling for me when you'd first found out that I'd changed? Why did you have such an interest in me before I'd changed when you knew I was going to?" I hissed back.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." She said. "Well, I guess if you had to serve time with us anyway we can work a bit harder on Edward. Aro will be a bit pleased but not as much as if Edward had come."
Now it was Alice's time to cut in. "Well, if you don't want her coming along then I'd be happy to watch you all die when you bite into some human with blood that will change eventually. She's got the ability to find them so you don't die and it's her changing that started the revolution in all Indian tribes."
Jane was not pleased with this but she played it as cool as possible. "Well in that case I guess we could use you better than Edward. Fine. The plane is waiting for three extra passengers anyway." She grumbled and walked away leaving us and her spy to follow.
