"Nessie, why would you do that to me ? I love you, and you go to some losers arms." Jake's eyes were sad, less sarcastic, less amusing than ever. I shrugged.

"I felt lonely Jake, I searched for you, but you know I will never leave you." I told him sincerely, which he knew because my eyes were golden. The party had finished and Jake and I were out in the forest talking. He grabbed my face carefully, I wasn't as fragile as he had thought, but it was better than being held there against your will. "I'm sorry, Jakey."

He kissed me and we felt each other relax. He stroked my face lightly after a moment of kissing. I could see in his eyes that he would never leave me either.

"I have to go , Ness, I love you." he kissed me one last time before running off and transforming to a huge russet wolf in the dark. I walked back to the main house after quenching my thirst with the blood of a wild cat. I was really tired and bored now, without Jake, I felt like a zombie.

Jane sat next to me on the couch. I looked at her quietly, afraid of her, still.

"I'm sorry." she said firmly, earnestly. "I'm sorry for what I have done to you and your family over the years. I have realized Aro was wrong about you. You're not a threat to mortals, the Volturi is." I nodded, understandingly. I still wanted to know why she was here.

"If you don't mind my asking, but why did you leave Alec, because if they're coming here..." I trailed off when I realized she understood what I was about to say. She nodded calmly then answered.

"Well, he wanted to come, but I don't want Aro to hurt him, to kill him, and if Alec left too, then he'd know we'd be together. Plus, we're twins, so we can communicate easily over distances." I nodded.

"Like 'Twin Telepathy'?" she nodded. "You know, the wolves are telepathic too, and I've always been interested."

"Your father is also telepathic, though no one else can read his mind, besides Aro and other mind-readers. Oh, that reminds me..." she trailed off. "Can I tell you something?" She smiled lightly.

"Sure, sure." I said, wondering what it was, maybe a way to defeat the Volturi but leave her brother alive? What she said was not what I had been expecting, especially from any full-blooded vampire.

"I think I'm in love with Seth, the little werewolf boy."

I was shocked. I think Seth had imprinted. Yes, definitely. I was so excited for him, but how would she get passed what all full vampires smelt. Maybe she didn't smell that and neither did Seth. I would have to talk to him. Hug him, be happy for my best friend! In a way I was sad, because now he'd be spending more time with Jane than me, and ebb from my life.

"I am so happy for you, Jane. I hope it works out." she smiled and hugged me, tightly.

"Thanks, sister." I was confused a moment but realized she was family now.

"You're welcome."
