I've Changed

Chapter Two: Time is Almost Up

Okay, here is the next chapter. Thank you to all of those that reviewed and favorite-ed my story. So, here is the next part of the story. This is going to be set up a little different than the last chapter because this is going to be in three different people's P.O.V. but I hope you still like it.

"Are you sure that it was Alec that you saw?" Carlisle asked us as we all sat around in the living room.

I nodded, "I am pretty sure, and at lunch I heard his name mentioned."

"And he is in my chemistry class." Alice said.

We all looked at her. "So he was in class with you today?"

She shook her head, "No, he wasn't at school today so I was partnered up with his lab partner."

"Who was his lab partner? Maybe I could get into his head and see how long his been here." I asked.

"Her name is Skye. She's the one that I waved to at lunch."

I groaned, "Are you serious? I can't get a read on her; everything is just blank, like she doesn't think about anything."

"What do you mean?" Emmett asked from where he was standing next to the window.

"It's like there's nothing there, no static or anything."

"Same with me, if I try to see her future, it's blank. Almost like there isn't a future for her."

"If you point her out to me on Monday, I can see if I have any effect on her." Jasper said.

Carlisle nodded, "Keep an eye on anyone that seems to be too close to him. I'll see if I can talk to Aro about why Alec is here. Have any of you seen Jane around?"

Everyone shook their heads. We had all seen Alec this morning but there hadn't been any sign of Jane being there.

"Why don't some of you go ahead and hunt tonight, the rest of us will go tomorrow." Esme said, changing the subject.

"How about the girls go tonight and the boys can go tomorrow," Carlisle said, standing up. "I have to work tonight anyways."

We all nodded and the girls headed out the door and into the night. None of us guys had any homework to do so we just sat around waiting for the girls to get back. Carlisle left a little while later for work. With the good review that he had gotten from the last hospital he had worked at, it hadn't taken long for Carlisle to get a job.

"What do you think the Volturi want with this town?" I asked Jasper and Emmett after a few minutes.

They both shrugged, "Maybe they're trying to find kids that would make good vampires." Jasper stated.

"Just like how they want you, Alice and Bella to join them." Emmett replied.

I looked at him, "I hope, for every student's sake at that school, that that is not what he is here for."

*~Twilight~*

"Where are we going?" I asked Alec as he led me down a trail in the woods.

"You'll see," he replied, not stopping.

Sighing, I let him pull me along the trail. After walked for about fifteen minutes, we came to a clearing that had a creek running through it. We finally stopped.

"This is what you wanted to show me? A clearing that and a creek?" I put my hands on my hips and faced Alec.

He shook his head and laughed, "No, what I want to show you is down the trail that is across the creek."

Looking across the creek, I couldn't find the trail that he was talking about. "I still don't see a trail."

"Don't worry, it's there. Trust me; I was just there earlier while you were at school."

Alec smiled and pulled me along behind him. I sighed again and allowed him to pull me towards the creek. There was a path made out of different sized stones that went across the creek. To me it didn't look very stable. Alec started across it and pulled on my arm. There was no way that I was going to cross that. I would probably end up in the water one way or another. Alec pulled on my arm again but I shook my head and tried to step back. Alec sighed, "I'm not going to let you fall in the water."

"How do I know that?"

"Your brother would probably try to kill me if I did."

I smiled, that was probably true. "Fine, I'll cross. As long as you make sure that I don't end up in the water."

Alec smiled again and helped me across the rocks. I slipped once but Alec caught me, just like he said he would. Once we were across the creek, Alec pulled me towards a small oath that I hadn't seen from across the creek. It looked like very few people knew about it because it wasn't as wide or as used as the other path had been. The path was so tight that Alec had to keep his arm behind his back as he led me forward. We were silent for the next five minutes as we walked. Soon we came to another clearing. To the left of this clearing was a cliff and to the right was a steep hill that was covered in boulders and a few trees.

Alec pointed up the hill with his free hand, "That is where we are going."

I looked up but couldn't find anywhere up there that we could possibly be going to, "I just see rocks."

"There is a flat spot up there that has a cave, trust me. You will see it when we start climbing up."

I sighed, "Okay, I'll thrust you."

Smiling, Alec once again pulled me along behind him. Climbing was slow because the hill was so step and neither of us wanted to go tumbling down. There were a few times we slipped but we were able to catch ourselves before we fell. "Are we almost there?" I asked, climbing from one level of boulders to the nest.

"Yeah, I think we only have one more level of boulders to climb until we get there."

"Finally, I'm beginning to get tired of all this climbing and walked we've done."

Alec laughed, "Are you serious? I've done this twice already today and I'm just fine."

"Yeah but I bet you do this all the time."

He shrugged but didn't say anything. Shaking my head, I climbed up next to him on the boulder that he was standing on. After a quick rest, we started climbing again. A few boulders later, we came to a flat spot that had a cave at the back of it. Looking around the clearing and cave, I didn't see what was so important about it that made Alec drag me here. I turned towards Alec, "And we are here for what exactly?"

Alec turned around, "Because of the view."

Raising an eyebrow, I turned around and gasped. The view looked over a lake that was surrounded by woods. The trees were almost bare because of the lateness in the fall but the view was still picture perfect with all the red and golden leaves. I looked at Alec who was smiling. "How'd you find this?"

He shrugged, "I like to take a lot of walks when I'm thinking about things."

I nodded and looked back at the lake. There were small islands in the middle of the lake.

"Hey, I have a question that I want to ask you," Alec said from behind me.

"What is it?" I asked, not turning around.

"Uh… Well, you don't have a boyfriend, do you?"

I turned around, "No, I don't have one, why?"

"I was just wondering if you would want to go out with me some night, like to the movies or something."

"This isn't a date, right now?"

Alec smiled and shook his head, "I meant a real date, not just some hike in the woods to a look-out spot."

I smiled, "Yes."

"Yes?"

"Yes, I would like to go to the movies or something with you sometime."

"Sweet, how about Monday after school?"

I thought for a moment, "Sure, I don't think that I have anything going on."

Alec smiled again and walked towards me. He put his hands on both sides of my face and tilted it towards himself. Angling his head, Alec leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine. For a second, I didn't do anything, but then I started kissing him back. It seemed like it was just the two of us in the world. But that all changed quickly.

"Dun, Dun, Dun. Dunnnnnnnnn. Dun, Dun, Dun, Dunnnnnnnnnn."

I groaned and buried my head in Alec's chest, "Did my dad really have to call right now?"

Alec chuckled and I felt it vibrate through his chest. He took a step back, "Answer it, it might be important."

I sighed, "Okay." Alec kissed my forehead before watching me was towards the cave. I took my ringing phone out of my pocket and answered it, "Hello?"

"Hey honey, sorry to be calling you but I just wanted to let you know that I won't be home till tomorrow evening. I have something that I have to work on and I wont be down till late so instead of driving all the way home, I'm just going to stay here tonight." My dad explained.

"So you're staying at the office?'

"No, no, there's a hotel just down the block. I'll be fine."

"Okay, have you told Jason already or do you want me to tell him?"

"I've already called and told him. Will you two be fine tonight?"

I laughed, "We'll be fine dad. Can we have Megan and Caine over tonight?"

"As long as you don't have a massive party while I'm gone."

"Thanks dad, I'll see you tomorrow night."

"Bye."

Hanging up, I walked back over to Alec. "Everything okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, my dad just wanted to tell me that he wasn't going to be coming home till tomorrow night."

He nodded, "We should probably be heading back now."

I nodded, "Yeah."

We headed back down the hill and down the path that would take us to the creek and then to the car.

*~Twilight~*

"Are you sure that you're going to be okay?" I asked, grabbing Skye's hand as she reached for the door handle.

She laughed, "Jason, Caine, and Megan will be here in like ten minutes, I'll be fine. You can stay and hang out with us if you want."

I shook my head, "It's okay, I don't want to ruin the close friendship that you have with them."

"Okay, I'll see you on Monday them."

I kissed her hand before letting go, "See ya." I waited until Skye was inside before backing out of her driveway. Once I was on the road, I headed out of town towards the house that I was staying in. The only reason that I was here was because Aro wanted to add to the Volturi's numbers. He wanted me to find at least two kids that would have a positive impact, but Skye was the only person that I had found that fit what we were looking for. And now I was growing close to her, too close. What I said to her earlier, about changing from how I was when I last saw the Cullens, was true, or, I wanted it to be anyways. But I know that Aro wouldn't let me leave, so maybe I could get Skye to join us.

But I don't want her to join, I thought, she isn't like the rest of us.

"Warning, sister calling. Don't answer; it's your sister calling. Warning-"

I cut off my ring tone, "What do you want Jane?"

"Just to remind you that time is almost up. Have you decided who you're going to choose?"

"No, not yet. But there are a few very good possibilities."

"Good, don't forget why you are there Alec. You're looking for good possibilities to add to our numbers. Don't get involved anymore than necessary."

"I know sis, I won't let that happen," I lied, thinking of Skye.

"Good."

Jane hung up and I threw my phone in the passenger seat. Some things were hard to keep from Jane; hopefully this wasn't one of them.

Hope you liked it.
