Ello, I promised to upload this one right after the last one and I'm sorry about the wait. It was the whole unlucky thirteen thing giving me the fritz. I didnt want to screw it up. This one is in Jenna's POV and I hope you like it. She's roughly about sixteen years old in looks so fairly young even for a vampire.

BTW, Max and Jenna, as i might have mentioned before, are trackers. They kinda just know where people are. Not who or why they are there but just that they are. It makes them notice things too like body language or little signs that show them details about the people.

Tress.

P.s Might add any questions from reviews down the bottom for the next chapter. Please take my poll. Pweeeeeease?

Chapter 15. The Love of your life.

Jenna's POV

"Jen?" I turned around to see Max in my doorway, looking slightly concerned. It was weird to first see his face after our transformation. It was like, while his face had grown less angular and more boyish , mine had grown more girly. I didn't like it. I never did. But with our hair the exact same shade, like a peeled banana and our skin pale white it was easier to see the similarities.

"What's wrong Max?" I asked, worried. Max wasn't known for his control. His concern made me think he'd done something bad. He seemed to guess my thoughts because he chuckled and sat next to me on my couch.

"Nothing Jenna. Chill." He laughed and I rolled my eyes. The pun about our unnaturally cold skin was hardly funny anymore. "But really. I wanted ask you about this afternoon." He said, confusedly. I nodded for him to continue. "Well, it's just…I wanted your opinion about that earthquake. You know, in the cafeteria." He clarified and for the first time since school, I wondered too about that strange shaking. What with the Cullens showing up and all, I hadn't really gotten a chance to mull it over. I was puzzled over it though. Forks wasn't anywhere near a fault line, it made no sense.

Unless it wasn't natural…hmm, that was an interesting theory. "Jen?" I looked at Max with a thoughtful expression.

"Well, I'm not sure but I think maybe-" I began but Max cut me off.

"Oh no the blonde is thinking!" he made a face of mock-horror. "Somebody get a camera this is a monumental event!" He barely dodged the lamp I threw at his head. I growled.

"Cut it out Max! You wanted my thoughts remember?" I pointed out and Max huffed.

"Party pooper."

"Brat."

"Snob"
"Baby."

"I'm not a baby!" Max whined and I smirked.

"Of course not. Now open wide for the Choo-choo train." I said in a baby voice, pretending to spoon food into his mouth. When my hand neared his mouth, Max bit it and I recoiled, the venom stinging my hand slightly. "You are such a loser Max! That's it GET OUT!" I yelled and kicked him off my bed. I wondered how we were related let alone twins.

Max put his hands up in defence and sat back down on my bed. "Okay, okay. I'll stop now. Really, what d'you reckon?"

I put a finger on my chin. "Well. I have a few theories. One, it was a natural earthquake, nothing abnormal."

Max snorted. "Unlikely."

I kicked him in the shin. "Be quiet! Two, it could be the result of an underground spring or something completely natural as well."

"Max snorted again. "Incredibly unlikely."

I kicked him in the stomach this time. "Shut up! Or three, it was a vampire power." Max opened his mouth to say something and I pointed to the area between his legs. "Keep a lid on it, there's only one more place I can kick!" When he'd closed his mouth I continued. "Y'know how Bella can reject powers?" he nodded. "Well, what if she could reject people too? Did you see how the Cullens' table moved today? Like someone was pushing it away? What if thinking about them, seeing them, made her powers flare and you know…pushed them away?" I rambled, my theory getting more and more detailed as it went on. It made sense.

Max looked doubtful though. "Well, yeah but wouldn't we have noticed before?"

"Haven't we? Think Max. Remember the times when someone gave her food? And it slid away a little when she looked at it? We blamed it on the table being wonky but what if she was rejecting objects? Wouldn't that mean she could reject people too?" I asked, getting excited. Which brought my thoughts back to the Cullens. Bella had told us about them, about how they simply left like she was nothing. I thought it was horribly unfair and although I hadn't said anything, I was with Max completely.

"Kids?" a soft voice asked and we both turned to see Vee in the doorway. Although we called her mom most times since she was the closest thing we could have had. "Kids, we need to leave now. Bella's gone to the airport to get us tickets but your dad, Chen and I think that we should try to see if we can sort this out without leaving." She explained, softly.

"Well, I still think we should just leave but whatever." Chen's voice carried down the hall and I looked at Max.

"If I'm about to rip someone's head off, stop me?" I said, through gritted teeth. The anger I felt was foreign to me. It was ugly.

Max nodded. "Unless I'm helping you." Vee rolled her eyes.

"Come on, downstairs, we're running." She said and when we got the door, Chen gave our parents a dirty look before taking off into the forests that surrounded our house. Running was amazing for me. I'd always been athletic as a human but this was simply stunning.

The way vampires could run was almost like watching a ballet dance. Graceful and quick and beautiful. I watched as we run, careful as always for any stray humans, although anyone out tonight wasn't in danger. From us at least. The smell of human blood was mouth-watering. Max and I had tasted it once before, when we were still young and it tasted like everything good in the world. Maybe because, it was essentially the very compounds of life, we were drinking. Something so amazing as life must taste amazing too right? At least that's what I thought.

My opinions kept my mind off where we were going but as soon as we came across their scents, the hackles on my neck rose and we slowed to a halt outside a huge, white mansion.

Vee put a hand on my back as we went to the front door. Max scoffed. "What do we do, knock?" he asked rhetorically and a tad bitterly. I grabbed his hand too.

"No need for that, we have good hearing around here," a voice said, pleasantly. A man of maybe thirty hovered in the open doorway, looking apprehensive and pleased at the same time. My power, my brother's power was to know where people were. I could just feel where they were. Not pictures just knowledge. There were seven of them, the blonde haired vampire man here with us and six more of them in the living room. My mouth twisted into a snarl as we were ushered lightly into the living room. Mom and Dad acted as if they were perfectly at home but they were a little too sense to pull it off. I felt a sudden sense of ease spread over me, like I wanted to be alert but I couldn't muster enough suspicion or doubt for it.

I spotted the blond haired one from lunch giving us subtle looks with the same type of eye that military personnel have. I bared my teeth slightly, out of instinct and the ease spread over me stronger. That was going to be annoying…when I was able to feel annoyed again. "I'm sorry for being so direct, but might I ask what you are doing here?" the blonde haired man asked, politely. He ushered to the couch and I nudged Max. We sat down, carefully.

Vee and Andrew stood behind us and Chen simply stood near the door, not trying to hide his unwillingness to be here. Mom stepped forward. "We are sorry for the short notice of our visit. We wanted to work out a truce of sorts. B…Our leader, has decided that it might be best for us to move away to avoid suspicion." She said, lightly. "But we wanted to know if it could be resolved without either party leaving." Her voice was strong and confident but worried.

I studied them as they looked at Vee. There were seven definitely. Four males, three females. The leader appeared to be the blonde man who had welcomed us earlier and one of the women, the curly haired one, stood beside him like a wife, slightly older than the rest of them. There were three pairs, from their body language at least. The big one with curly dark hair and muscles like a wrestler was with the outstandingly beautiful woman with blonde hair, from their position on the love seat, his arms around her shoulders. The smaller one with black spiky hair was clutching the blonde one from lunch, his hand tight in hers. And then there was him.

I could see why Bella fell for him. He had bronze hair and a sculpted face, his eyes lighter and troubled. He was handsome, even for a vampire. Max saw me sizing them up and nodded slightly.

Being a tracker was a strange feeling that we both shared. We noticed little things, like body language or positions, that we hadn't noticed before in anyone besides each other. But we could tell now. And I saw Max's face curl up at the prospect of having to speak with these people who were so obviously troubled. As if he'd said the words to my face, he thought that Bella would forgive these vampires who had wronged her so much. She was just like that.

But what would happen then? Would she forgive him? Would she leave us? That troubled Max the most. Our silent inspection was only a second long. The blonde haired man smiled again revealing perfect white teeth. Very human. "Of course, we'd like nothing better-" he began but the blonde woman cut him off under her breath.

"Speak for yourself." She hissed, so faint that I barely caught it. But I did and in a second, both Max and I were crouched and snarling. How could she say that? She wants us to move? After what they did to Bella they want US to pay for it?! Our positions got her hissing and she had her boyfriend growling as well. It got a little tense to say the least.

"Jenna, Max, control yourselves." Andrew hissed and we reluctantly straightened up. Vee gave us disappointed looks and the blonde man frowned at the woman.

"I apologize for Rosalie. It was uncalled for." He said, gravely. Rosalie. Hm. Figures.

The bronze haired one cracked a smile as Andrew began to speak. "We apologize for Max and Jenna as well. They are still quite young." He replied, formally. I rolled my eyes. "My name is Andrew, this is my wife Vee. These are our, well, our children, Max and Jenna. And this is Chen." He introduced pointing to all of us.

The leader nodded. "I am Carlisle, my wife Esme and my children, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper and Edward." We all hissed at the last name, Vee and Andrew included.

"You're him aren't you?" Chen spat. I couldn't blame him. He loved Bella. We all did and this complete tool hurt her. Chen was shaking with rage and I could see my parents were close to it. The ease was back but it barely helped. Edward looked unsurprised and a little…angry? What did he have to be angry about? He had Bella and then he screwed her up! Andrew put a hand on Chen's back and pushed him to the door. We could hear him chewing Chen out for being so stupid.

"You are aren't you?" I barked and his eyes narrowed to slits. What was that Bella had said about this family? Something about mind reading, she was always a little reluctant to talk about anyone of the Cullens. I smiled in my head grimly and thought of every swear word I knew…which happened to be quite a few. Inconsiderate worthless piece of trash for leaving her like that! Like she was completely pathetic and unworthy of your time! Edward stood up in anger and I smiled in satisfaction, before standing up myself. I thought about how sad he made Bella, hoping to guilt him into pain. I thought about every time she sobbed when she thought we weren't looking, how broken she looked, the haunted look in her eyes…

There were loud snarls but I couldn't tell who it was from. Probably both sides. "Don't." he growled and I smirked.

"What? Don't tell the truth?" Carlisle stepped between us, his hands out in a very human gesture.

"Enough. Edward. Jenna." He said, firmly. Max trembled with rage. He hated being told what to do. Absolutely hated it. It was worse when someone told me what to do. I growled but stood back with my parents, half dragging Max with me. I was more level headed than he was. The ease came back, this time I felt like I was flying, elatedly peaceful... "Thankyou Jasper, but you might be over doing it a little. Is that all in your coven? Who is your leader?"

Like they didn't already know. Andrew and Chen had reappeared inside and their faces twisted up in a grimace. Vee cleared her throat. "Her name is Isabella Sparrow. Swan, when she was human but we've changed it for the sake of exposure. There was a small…complication with our arrival. I'm sure you've heard of this ridiculous Swan Mystery Hunt by now?" Bella had told us about it. I felt so sad for her that day. Edward left the room at a human pace, out the front door.

"You can give it out but you can't take it can you?" I hissed as he passed me and I felt the glare he forced on me. Max smiled at me in approval.

"Excuse my son. You may already know that he had some…ties with your leader-" Carlisle apologised again. He was so good at it I wondered why he had so much practise. How many times did he have to do it?

"TIES?!" Chen exploded but before he could do a thing Rosalie was up and glaring at him.

"Ties that ended badly! We told him it was a waste of time! It would only end badly! We had to leave because of her!" she screeched, her nails turning to claws.

"Oh cry me a river! You had to move! How awful for you! You only have to do it every five years or so anyway!" Max barked, sarcastically.

"But don't worry, at least she stayed human! Oh wait, THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT EITHER!" I added, my voice rose.

"We didn't want to leave!" the pixie protested, Alice I think her name was and I scoffed. That was her great defence? We didn't want to?

"Of course you didn't! You still did though and you left her broken and alone!" I retorted. Her face screwed up in pain and Jasper glared at me. I scowled as a hand rested on my shoulder, pinning me back subtly. I looked up to see Vee looking at me with a sad expression.

"Jenna, let's go. Maybe Bella is right. We should leave." She said, softly. I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream. I wanted to hit something so hard it shattered into pieces. I didn't want to leave! It wasn't fair!

"NO!" Alice suddenly screamed and she sat up with a wide-eyed expression. "No! You can't! You can't…leave," she choked out as if it physically hurt her to think of it. "Not now! We just found her again! Please!" she begged.

I felt exasperated. They weren't understanding. "Why do you care? You left her too!" I exclaimed, trying to get it through her head. You can't just say I'm sorry over something like that! Alice shook her head sadly.

"Yes, but we thought she could get over it." She said, weakly. I could tell she felt remorse. It was enough to make me almost like her. Almost.

"How do you get over the love of your life?" I asked, rhetorically. Vee pulled us upwards and we complied, Max and I walking to the door. But of course it wouldn't be that easy.

Alice gasped and her face went blank for a moment before her eyes bulged. "Oh." She said, giving no more explanation. Then her eyes darkened. "Oh." She said again, annoyed. "Oh that idiot!" she exclaimed and I looked to Max, both of us thinking the same thing about her mental health. Alice looked doubtfully at us although we hadn't said a word. "Bella didn't…she didn't change you did she? On purpose?" she asked, hesitantly.

Max and I frowned, remembering the vampire who had changed us. A vegetarian. A supposed vegetarian. She hadn't wanted to, we understood that now. It really was an accident that I stabbed myself on a compass and bled in front of her. When she discovered what she was doing, she pulled back in shock.

Miss Penrose. The name made me shudder internally. The pain was unbearable. Afterwards, after the pain receded and we were left, dead and cold, she told us it was so difficult to resist. Because we smelled so lovely and there were two of us, so much blood that it was mouth-watering. She caught me first, Max second so there was a short time between when I woke up, and he did. In that time I'd ripped off her head and shoved a dozen pencils through her chest. Of course, I didn't know how to kill a vampire. Only what I'd heard in movies. And pencils seemed like a perfectly reasonable substitute for a wooden stake. More the better.

We shook our heads though, in response to Alice's question. "We were changed by a vampire in Sydney. Bella found us and offered us a place with them. Vee and Andrew are our parents." My voice was weak and trembling from the memories. Max put an arm around me in comfort. Alice frowned in pity and turned to Chen.

"Vampire in Northern Korea. Wanted some company and found me when I was trying to save my sister. Been here since Bella found me." Chen replied, tightly. He stuck to short sentences that couldn't reveal too much. Finally she turned to Vee and Andrew.

"Yes Bella changed us." He said, flatly. Alice recoiled in shock but I didn't understand it. "We were the first ones to join her." Everyone seemed to react to Andrew's words. They all froze in shock and then pain. What did they think now? I wondered, annoyed. They always got it wrong.

"She…changed…you?" Esme said, her eyes wider than the rest. She seemed stunned.

Vee nodded. "A bear was about to finish us off by a river in Alaska. Bella couldn't save us in time." She explained and the family seemed to breathe again. I noticed it and felt my face twist in outrage. How dare they!

"You thought she changed them for company didn't you?" I whispered, furious. Alice nodded shamefully.

"Yes. Bella never thought of her own changing as a sacrifice and I thought that maybe she…" she trailed off. I shook my head at her.

"Bella would never do something like that." Chen said his voice sure. "And if you are through doubting her, we should leave." Before they could say anything, we were gone.

You know the drill.

R and R folks, R and R
