a.n.: Read, enjoy and review.

KPOV (Kathrine's point of view)

"So Kat, you want to go shopping?" Alice wondered five minutes after Alex left. I rolled my eyes. That was the third time she'd asked me that.

"Alice how many times does she have to say no before you stop asking her?" Eddie asked, finally looking away from me and to his sister.

"Until she says yes." Not going to happen Pixie!

"Not going to happen, Pix--er--Alice. Sorry." How did he know I was going to say that?

"Edward, don't you think it's time you let our guest in on your little gift?" Bella suggested. Little gift?

Eddie didn't seem to like that idea. "Maybe later love..."

I took a seat in the arm chair across from Eddie. "No, now." I insisted.

Eddie shook his head. "You're not going to like it."

"Try me."

He sighed. "I'm a mind reader."

That wasn't good. Not good at all. I acted as if it didn't bother me. "Oh." As of now I wanted to throw the chair I was sitting in at him. First I find out he's a vampire and not dead like I thought from age five. Now he lets me know he's a mind reader.

"My head is the only place I'm truthful. My head holds more secrets and torture then you could ever image. I'm safe in my head. So stay out of it." I said slowly though my teeth.

I then stood and walked outside. I had to get control of myself. Just act like I wasn't about to go crazy. When I agreed to this mission I had no idea it would be like this. I had to be with Alex, these animal bloodsuckers and someone who I now hated.

Eddie had always been there for me when we were little. I thought of him as an older brother. He was my rock when Mom disappeared. Hell, he was even there when she tired to attack me. Now...I hated him just like I hated everyone else. There was no one in this world that I loved. Eddie use to be someone I loved until now. He was apart of this cruel and hateful world, meaning he was cruel and hateful too.

"Whoa!" I turned my head to see Jasper coming out of the house. He took a step back from me.

"What?" I asked irritated. Couldn't they just leave me alone for five minutes?!

He shook his head. "To be so young you've got a lot of anger inside you."

"What's it to you?" I turned my back to him again.

"I control emotions. So all that anger you hold is going to pass over to me. Therefore putting me in a bad mood." Jasper said matter-of-factly. Did he think telling me this would cause me to change my mood and the way I felt about the world? Sorry buddy, not going to happen. "I could always change your mood for you..."

"Do it and see how long I let you live." I growled. "I wouldn't even get in trouble for it because I'm part of the Volturi. I can kill who I think needs killing." That wasn't entirely true but he didn't know that.

"You don't have it in you to kill someone."

"I do too!" I jerked my body around to face him. When you're a Volturi member and someone tells you something like that, it's not a compliment. "I could kill you right now if I wanted!"

"Then do it."

TWO WEEKS LATER

One month and two weeks left, then it was back to Italy. I couldn't wait. This place was like my own personal torture zone. Between having to put up with Alexander's remarks—and not being able to attack him—Eddie staring at me—probably in my head 24/7—and Alice always wanting to take me shopping—which I always said no to—I was going to die! But none was as bad as Jasper. Even since that first day, he had been at me. Telling me I was too angry, that I should relax. Since I didn't kill him the first day I was here, he didn't fear me. But he would before the two months was up. He had to be. He just had to be.

I had gotten so use to having everyone scared of me—with the exception of Alexander. I didn't like it when someone wasn't scared of me. I liked the fact that everyone I knew was scared of me. It made me feel better about myself. Made me believe I was actually worth being apart of the Volturi.

"So when are you guys leaving?" Alice asked the second I sat down next to her on the couch. That wasn't something she normally asked.

I gave her a sideways look. "One month, and two weeks. Why?"

She shrugged like her question was an everyday question. Like her shopping request was. "Just wondering." She wasn't a good liar.

"Alice...the truth would be nice."

"So would a shopping trip but I don't see that in the near future." I rolled my eyes at her comment. She shrugged again. "I really was just wondering."

"Sure you were, and I'm attracted to Jacob Black." I said sarcastically.

Sadly for me Alex just happened to walk in and hear my comment. "I always knew you'd be the one to fall for the wolf. Nessie isn't going to like you much though."

"Sarcasm. I was being sarcastic." I knew I didn't have to make that clear but I couldn't think of a come back. I was thinking too much about Alice wanting us to leave to be worried about Alexander. "Now back to why you want us to leave." I said returning the conversation to Alice.

She sighed. "Look, believe what you want." With that she stood and strolled out of the room, in to the kitchen.

"What was that about?" Alexander wondered.

"Alice asked when we were leaving. She says she was just wondering but I don't buy that. She's hiding something..."

"You've been spending too much time with Aro. He's making you believe everyone is hiding something. Look, the Cullen's are pretty normal. They just drink from animals. There not nearly as bad as Aro makes them out to be." My God did he just say they were normal?

"Oh don't we feel loved." Emmett commented from upstairs. Another thing I didn't like about being a vampire; nothing was private. Anything said within a couple miles, we could hear. I could have sighed right then and every vampire in the house could have heard it. Stupid special vampire hearing...!

MPOV (Marissa's point of view)

"I'm going to visit the Cullen's. Are you coming?" I asked Dean when he came in from hunting. It had been two weeks, surely any Volturi activity that had been there was gone now.

"Think it's safe?" Dean answered my question with a question. He did that often these days.

"I wouldn't be asking if you wanted to go if I didn't."

Dean seemed to think for a minute then he sighed. "Alright, let's go."
