Chapter Two – Please?

JPOV

We ran to the local airport and booked tickets for Seattle, Washington. I didn't speak on the plane. I was scared that they wouldn't let us into their family; that they wouldn't want us after what we'd done. I would understand that.

I was also scared that I wouldn't be able to do it; live off of animal blood after hundred's of years of human blood. I'd gotten so used to using my power whenever I got too angry that it was almost a reflex now. Could I restrain that?

"Ladies and Gentlemen," The flight attendant spoke clearly through the intercom. "We will be landing in Seattle in three minutes. Please stay seated, thank you." I sighed.

"Are you sure about this sister?" Alec asked me. I took my blond hair out of its bun and shook it.

"What do we have to loose?" I whispered. He smiled. The plane touched down and we rented a car to drive. It wasn't very fast and it killed me, running was so much easier. Finally we entered the small town of Forks. The Cullen's house came into view. Today was a school day for them, so at least Bella wouldn't be here immediately.

I walked up and knocked on the door. Alec held my hand.

"Hello…um, Jane, Alec" Esme greeted us nervously. "How may we help you?"

"Esme, I promise you we are not here to hurt you or your family, including Bella." Alec said. She relaxed a little.

"I wondered if…you would allow us to join your coven…or family?" I didn't beat around the bush. "I know this has to be hard to believe or accept, but we're tired of the Volturi's strict rules and cruel actions and I refuse to be apart of that any longer."

"J…Jane…um, I'll call Carlisle." She stumbled over words. "Um, come on in."

"Thank you Esme. I understand if you don't want us after all we've done to your family." I smiled. She nodded and disappeared for a minute. She re-appeared.

"Carlisle feels that it's only fair to let the children know and vote on this matter as well. They'll be here at about three o' clock. You are free to stay here until then." She smiled. "You should probably go hunting too." She frowned.

"Um, 'vegetarian' style, right?" Alec asked.

"Yes. If you stay, you'll have to get used to it. It's not so bad." She sighed.

"Okay, are you coming?" I asked. She nodded.

"Bella will be here and I could use it anyway."

"Oh, yes, let's go." I rushed. If Bella was going to be here, I wanted to get completely full before she came. We found a pack of elk, three bears, a mountain lion and some deer. The blood was disgusting for the most part, but not too bad. It filled me up. When all three of us were full, we ran back to the house. Everyone was there.

When we entered, everyone gasped. They all protected Bella immediately.

"I promise, we're not here to hurt any of you." I explained. "I could see that Aro's rule over me was too strong so I decided to leave the Volturi. He was sending me out to do all of the bad things to innocent people to darken my good side. Seeing your terror as we left yesterday melted me and I refused to follow his orders any longer.

"Please consider allowing us to join your family, at least for a little while." I said. Edward stared at me reading my mind for any hidden plans. Alice was checking the future for any disaster following accepting us.

"I apologize for hurting your family so many times. If I could take that back…." I shook my head in guilt. "I'm so sorry."

"I don't see anything bad in the future, but if you stay, and if there is, I will alert the family immediately and you will be banished." Alice said.

"Same here," Edward nodded. "But if you touch Bella…." His face finished the sentence.

"I promise, that won't be a problem." Alec said. I nodded.

"I don't have anything against it." Rosalie said. "…Besides what everyone else said." The rest agreed.

"Thank you so much, especially Bella. I know that it must be hard to say we can be apart of the family when all you know from me is terrible and torture."

"You're welcome." She whispered. We got rooms on the third floor. They were wonderful. Once we were settled in I went and found Rosalie.

"Come in, Jane." She sighed.

"Um, since I'm really going to do this, could you help me with the acting human thing?"

"Sure, but first, you need to know a few rules for me."

"Okay." I was willing to follow any rules.

"First, you have to know my story."

"You're story?"

"Of how I became a vampire."
