A/N - It's revenge on Jane time! YAAAAY!

LebaneseBella08TJ: Too much info? Just a little... but it made me laugh anyway. (my mother is now a little worried about what the heck I am writing about!) Ah. Well... about the vegetarian thing... AHHHH! Please don't shoot me when you read this!

Unigirl150: Oops, Felix is sooo gonna get his vampire butt kicked, huh? Well, shall we see?


23 – Revelation

"They're what? " I asked in shock. My brain was refusing to process this huge piece of information I had just received. What was a vegetarian vampire?

"They call themselves vegetarian," Felix sneered the word in disgust, "because they drink animal blood, not human blood. Their leader is a doctor. It's sick, isn't it?" His eyes narrowed in disgust.

I stood frozen in shock, hatred, indignation and a thousand other emotions that were just too much for my mind to take. Beside me Diana looked outraged, and turned to face the brawny vampire that had just described the way we wanted to live our lives and then dismissed it as disgusting, twisted, sick.

"No, they are not sick, no way. You are!" She spat the word 'you' at him, her voice filled with venomous hatred. "How can you think that saving lives is sick? That wanting protect people is wrong? That helping humans is stupid?" Her voice was near hysterical, I was sure that, if it were possible, then both her and me would be crying. I put my arm around her slender shoulders in comfort.

"They are unnatural. Freaks," He laughed as I flinched when he called them that. "Actually, Diana, I'm sure you'd fit in well with them." He laughed again and Diana started to sob. I took one look at his smug, horrible face and felt the anger bubble up inside me.

In under a second Felix was flying through the air and crashing – rather painfully and ungracefully – back to the floor, landing on a small, pointy rock. I growled at him, inviting him to attack me. A hiss echoed from behind me. I whirled around, throwing Felix backwards again.

Jane was glaring, hunched into a crouch and tensed to attack, her mouth curved into a malicious smile. In a reaction so quick I didn't know how I managed it, I sent her flying through the air and into an oak tree. The impact snapped the strong, thick trunk clean in half and made a loud crunching sound. I turned and grinned at Diana who was grinning at the sight of a floundering Jane.

I realised that she must have deadened all of Jane's senses, no feeling, no sight, no sense of smell and no hearing, not to mention other minor senses. She lay underneath the tree attempting to hiss and stand up, Diana's power had affected her sense of balance, too.

Felix had sprung back up and was tensing to spring, I immediately threw him backwards and he landed sprawled on the floor. I shot around to cover Diana's back as she turned to protect mine, we both grinned at each other.


"ENOUGH!"

Demetri's voice rang loud and clear through the silent woodland meadow we had stopped in. Every syllable echoed with authority, I glared at Jane, who was fumbling on the floor with a livid, seething expression.

"All of you. I mean it now," He looked at Diana and me, in that order. I allowed Felix and Jane to get up and Diana reluctantly gave Jane back her senses. I glared at the witch as she jumped up, hissing at Diana and me.

"Jane." Demetri warned her. She fell into silence, still giving Diana and me evil if-looks-could-kill eyes. "Lets just do our job and go home, okay? We will forget about the Cullens and their… alternative hunting style. Felix is right - it is unnatural and it is most certainly not the Volturi way," He said in a tone that ended our argument. " lets just forget about that coven."

I felt numb, but somehow I forced my lips to move.

"No." My voice was barely audible; I cleared my throat and tried again. This time the words came out clear and confident.

"No."

"Natalie?" Demetri was looking at me quizzically.

"You… lied to me," every word stung me as I choked out the sentence. My dead heart felt torn, I was battling with what was right morally and what my heart ached to do, the morals won. I wanted so much to forgive him.

"You told me so many times that killing humans was the only way. You knew how much I hated it and you never even told me there was another option! You lied to me." I swallowed in an attempt to clear the lump in my throat. Demetri opened his mouth to speak and I cut him off. "No. Please, don't try to make it right, it's not right. I can't do this; I don't want innocent people to die because of me!"

He ran to me and held me close to his chest. I shook my head but made no other move.

"Please, Natalie. Please, don't leave," He sounded on the verge of starting to sob, " I can't live without you… please?"

I pulled away, shaking my head.

"I'm so, so sorry. I love you, I always will," I told him, for the last time.

I kissed him once on the lips and ran away into the deepening night, with my broken, silent heart longing for the only person I would ever and could never love.


If you hurt me I won't update... I know it's a nasty, evil plot twist AND there is a bit of a cliff hanger thrown into the mix, but please review and DON'T SHOOT ME!
