Chapter 7: Kill me

Bella's POV

If I was to die right now, I'd be happy.

I was sitting in Jane's arms, taken over by her smell, and her cold soft body.

I'd rejected Edward, it was true. But I just didn't want him anymore, I didn't love him. I don't know how Jane did it, but she stole my heart, and she holds onto so no one else will ever have it.

We were in her room, hidden away in the dark shadows, alone. She held me, and every now and then she would kiss me very lightly and quickly. She was starting to care about me, and show it. I finally felt safe around her, no longer fearing she would hurt me. I trusted her, I was with her, so nothing else mattered.

It was all to perfect, so of course something went wrong. I never get a break, there's always a vampire trying to kill me. This time, it was Felix.

He burst in on us, and Jane was on her feet in a second.

"What do you want, Felix?"

"Aro's given me orders, Jane. Step aside."

"No!" Jane hissed. She hunched over, a fight was sure to break out. I wasn't sure who would win. "You won't touch her."

"Jane, move!" Felix barked.

"No!" she hissed again. "Tell me what Aro wants with her."

"He wants her dead!"

I flinched. "What?" I muttered. "Why?"

Felix leaned and looked at me with a smirk. "How should I know? I just follow orders." He turned back at Jane. "As Jane should be doing!"

Jane glared at him with her deadly glare. Suddenly, he was flipped, on the ground, groaning in pain. She kept staring, she was hurting him, killing him with pain inside. I hated to see this, but he wanted to kill me. But I knew she wouldn't stop, not until he surrendered, and that would never happen. The Volturi were hopeless.

"Jane, stop." I muttered, touching her arm. I flinched and stopped in a second, turning to look at me.

"Little brat!" I heard Felix grumbled. He was on his feet, and stomping towards Jane. In a flash, he had her in a headlock. He was ready to kill her, he didn't care at this point. Aro would kill him for it, but I had to do something, fast.

"No! Felix!" I screamed. "Don't kill her…" I muttered. Suddenly, the scene with Edward and the Volturi flashed in my mind. "Kill me, not her." I breathed. I pictured Edward's horrified face, I saw Aro coming towards me looking amazed. A flash of everything hit me, but I stayed strong. I pictured Jane, and everything I'd done with her, and all our time together. I sighed and looked Felix straight in the eye. Jane, I thought, it ended to soon… I love you.

Aro's POV

"Oh when is Felix going to return!" I huffed. I sat in my chair, my legs and arms spread out, I faced Cauis, who was of course scowling. "I'm so bored." I muttered on.

"Did you hear a scream a few minutes ago?" Marcus asked from behind me. I twirled around in my seat and faced Marcus instead. His old face was frowning at me.

"Yes." I sighed. "I do hope Felix his finished his job."

"I don't understand why you want her dead." Marcus grumbled.

"She's in the way, Marcus." I sighed and turned to face the whole room. It was empty aside form Demetri who stood in the corner, staring blankly. "Jane's can't have distractions, and Edward will only join us with her gone." I sighed again. "It's the only way."

"I don't enjoy the killing of her." Marcus grumbled on to himself.

"Quiet Marcus, Felix is here."

Felix entered and stood before me. His face was blank, impossible to read. I'd have touch him. He kept his distance, as if afraid.

"Yes, Felix?" I said.

"It is done, master. Bella Swan is dead." I heard Marcus grumbled again, and I glared his way.

I stood up and walked over to Felix. I took his hand and quickly read the truth.

"Thank you very much, Felix. Please leave. And, take Demetri with you, please." I turned and walked back and sat down while Felix and Demetri left. I looked at Marcus.

"He was obviously lying." Marcus muttered.

"Why did he let him go?" Cauis asked.

I sighed and looked back at the empty room. I rubbed my hands together and smiled. "More action, for I fear Jane is no longer in the building."

"What do you mean?" Cauis asked.

"I read Felix's mind." I said. "The reason he didn't kill Bella is because her and Jane got away."

"What are you going to do?" Marcus asked, sounding less then interested.

"I don't know." I sighed. "Silly, silly girl."

Jane's POV

Aro was sure to kill me, but I didn't care. It was her I wanted. We were running away together. I wasn't sure where I was running her. All I knew was she was with me, on my back, trusting me, and I was going to keep her safe. We were leaving, not caring, forgetting our problems and just letting go.

All that mattered was each other, and nothing else.
