Author's Note
I do not own Twilight.
Clearly they needed a change of plan.
No one here in the Volturi was going to adopt them, which meant they were going to have to go further afield.
They each made careful lists, compared them, merged them, argued over it, and then burned everything and scattered the ashes in the river.
They each took out large quantities of money from their accounts and packed up a small bag of a few belongings, which they hid under their cloaks.
"We're going on a hunt outside the city," Jane told Demetri as they passed him. "We haven't stretched our legs in so long. Want to come?"
Alec frowned. That wasn't part of the plan.
Demetri smiled. "Sure. Sounds like more fun than this place at the moment."
Jane linked her arm through his. "Great!"
It took Alec no time at all to realise and understand what Jane was planning. The three of them headed out to a patch of woodland a long way from Volterra. Demetri sniffed, peering about them. "A few humans over that way," he grunted, jerking a thumb. "Drunk."
Jane smiled, showing her fangs. "Oh, that's not a problem. I already know what we're hunting. Alec?"
Demetri looked between them, quizzically, almost comically.
Alec smiled back. "Run Demetri. It's no fun if they don't run."

He doubled over, screaming, and Alec ripped his head off.
The two of them lit a bonfire and burned the remains.
Alec stared at it. "No going back."
Jane rolled her eyes. "You think? We're the pinnacle of the guard; they won't let us go that easily."
Alec licked his lips. "Are you hungry?"
Jane smiled back. "Let's go find those drunks."
