Author's Note
I do not own Twilight.
They met up with him again deep in a thick stretch of woodland. He owned a cabin out there, a tiny, two roomed thing. They gathered awkwardly around the sofas, none of them choosing to sit.
"You can stay here a few weeks if you need time to work something out. Just don't break anything."
Jane gave him a thin smile. "Thank you."
Jasper managed to smile back. "You're welcome."
He had a computer, and they spent two days researching places in Alaska. There were several islands that looked promising.
"We could always move between them," Jane said.
"We'll need to be careful on hunts."
Jane shrugged. "It's doable."
Once they were done, they wiped the computer history.
A week later Jasper returned, this time with the little psychic Aro wanted so much. The two of them were laid head to head on the floor, their new games in their hands. Jane growled. "I can't believe you beat me again!"
Alec laughed. "You've got no sense of strategy."
"I will kill you."
"No you won't."
The door rattled open.
"I can't believe you brought them here!" the psychic was complaining. Jane selected new pokemon to challenge Alec with.
"What were you thinking?"
"They don't have anywhere else to go."
"We're going to Florida," Alec said.
"This isn't Florida!" snapped the psychic.
"Nope," Jane agreed, popping the 'p.'
"He said we could stay."
"What are you doing?" asked Jasper.
"Beating Jane at Pokemon."
Jane growled.
"Aro never lets us play."
"And why are you on the floor?"
"We broke your sofa," replied Jane.
"You broke the sofa," said Alec.
"You hit it!"
"You threw me into it!"
Jane reached back and smacked him on the head. The psychic folded her arms over her chest. "Look, as great as I think it is that you've left the Volturi, you can't stay here. They're going to come looking."
"Have you seen it?" Jane asked.
There was an uncomfortable silence between them that said all they needed to know. Aro wouldn't be happy with losing his weapons. Along with a good chunk of the better guards.
"We're not staying here," Alec said.
"We're going to Florida."
Jasper looked at her. "See?"
The psychic jumped up to sit on the table and stare at them. "Why did you leave the Volturi?"
"We were bored. They were bastards."
"We'd get outvoted if we took them home. I didn't know what else to do," Jasper said.
Alec shifted and gazed at the psychic for a long moment. "We don't want to join your coven Cullen. They'll come for you again."
"We dealt with them once," replied the psychic.
Jane drummed her fingers against her DS. "Can you see hybrids?"
"No," she replied, a flicker of sudden alarm and panic flashing over her face.
Jane smiled. "Then you've got a flaw in your defences."
Alec snapped his DS closed. Jane was a moment behind him.
"We don't mean to impose on you. We've… sorted our affairs."
Jasper ran his hands through his hair. "Will you two be alright on your own?"
Jane raised an eyebrow. "We're stuck like this, but we're four times your age. We can take care of ourselves."
"You got your ass kicked by the Romanians."
Jane growled. "Don't remind me."
"Good luck."
Jane paused, gave him a long look. "You too."
