Chapter Five: Help

Alec's P.O.V

I was tense as I listened to the ringing on the other end of the phone. I needed Carlisle to pick up, I didn't know what I was going to do. Just when I was about to hang up and try again, there was a click, "Hello?"

"Carlisle?"

"Yes, who is this?"

I took an unneeded breath, "It's Alec."

"Alec?"

"From the Volturi."

There was a pause on the other end. "Why are you calling me?"

"Has Edward told you that I am in town?"

"He did."

"Did he tell you why I was here?"

"No, but I have the feeling that you are going to tell me why."

Another breath, "Aro sent Jane and I to the states to find people to add to the Volturi. We split up to that we could find more people. She's found twin brothers while I have found one girl. She turned the two that she found but I haven't told the girl what I am yet.

"Jane told me that she was going to come visit me before we go home but I didn't think that it would be for a few more days." I paused, "She showed up tonight while my girlfriend was sleeping upstairs. My girlfriend is the girl that I found for Aro. Jane knows that I have fallen for her and she knows that I am struggling with turning her."

"Okay, but I still do not understand why you called me."

"I want out."

"Out? Out of the Volturi?"

"Yeah, I don't want to change Skye. She isn't like me, she wouldn't fit in. and I know that if I leave her without changing her, then Jane will hunt her down and change her."

"Are you sure you want to get out of the Volturi? It won't be easy."

"I'm sure."

There was silence on the Carlisle's end. He was most likely thinking about the things that I had just told him. "We can help you, but we need to meet to talk about some things first."

"Understandable, when do you want to meet?"

"How about tomorrow morning. Meet us after you drop Skye off after school?"

"I don't know. I don't want Jane or her two boys getting to Skye. She'd be unprotected at school."

"Jasper, Emmett, Alice and Rosalie will be at school and Esme will be watching from nearby."

"So I'm only going to be meeting with you and Edward?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll meet you guys after I drop Skye off tomorrow morning."

"Will we do our best to help you get out but the only way we can do that is if you tell Skye what you are. That way, when the time comes, she can stay with us to get away from Jane."

"Where do you want me to meet you guys?"

"In the woods outside of town. There is a pull-off about fifteen miles down the highway. We will be waiting there but then will walk farther into the woods once you get there."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Bye."

I hung up and put my phone down on the table. The quicker I got out and away from the Volturi, the better things would be for Skye. Even though she didn't know about us yet, Skye's life would be hectic the next few weeks. Jane already knew about her which meant she isn't that far away.

I silently groaned, nothing ever went well where I was concerned.

Heading upstairs, I walked into the guest room where Skye was still sleeping peacefully. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, I watched her sleep. I wouldn't be leaving the room until the sun started to come up. I didn't want there to be a chance that Jane could come back and take her away from me. As long as I watched her, she would be safe.

*~Twilight~*

"How come you are just dropping me off? Aren't you coming to school today?" Skye asked me as I stopped the car in front of the school.

"I have a meeting I have to go to. I forgot about it until this morning, sorry."

She sighed, "It's okay. I'll see you on Monday though, right?"

"Yeah." I pulled her in for a quick kiss before letting her go. "If you don't go now, then you're going to be late."

"Fine, but text me, okay?"

"I will, see you Monday."

Skye got out of the car and closed the door behind her. I watched as she joined the rest of the kids walking into the school. It was only after I saw her walk through the front doors that I pulled away and started on my way out of town. In no time at all, I was on the highway heading to the pull-off that Carlisle had told me about.

I parked and got out of my car, looking around. There was one other car there but I didn't see Carlisle or Edward anywhere. "Carlisle, Edward?"

"Alec."

I turned around and saw the other two vampires standing at the edge of the woods. They motioned for me to walk their way and we started heading into the woods. I followed them into the woods quietly, knowing that they would stop when they wanted to talk. Nearly an hour later, they stopped in a clearing like the one I had shown Skye, except there was no cave or drop off.

"Talk." Edward said as he and Carlisle turned to look at me.

"About what? I've already told you why I was sent here and why I wanted to talk to you guys."

"Can you just tell me everything again? I want to make sure that none of us are missing any important pictures." Carlisle said.

I nodded, "Okay, but this might take awhile."

"We have all day."

I took a deep breath, "One night Aro came up with the idea to add to the Volturi's numbers. It took a few days to decide who was going to be sent to find people and where they were going to be looking. In the end, it was Jane and I that were sent to the states to find people.

"Aro told us to find anyone that we thought could make it as a vampire. He really wanted us to find some people like Edward and Alice but if we didn't, then it was fine. We thought it would be better if we split up once we were in the states, so we could find more people to change and bring back. We were given a year to bring people back. That year ends next week. Jane has found and changed two guys already. The only person I've found that would make a good vampire, is Skye. She isn't affected by any powers, including mine. And her moods affect things."

"Like the lights at school the other day?" Edward asked.

I nodded, "Yeah, her moods mess with the energy in the air or something. Changing her into a vampire would just make whatever that is, stronger. But I can't change her. I didn't mean to, but I fell for her. She isn't like me, she couldn't be a killer.

"And then last night while Skye was at my house, Jane and her two newborns showed up. They saw Skye, and I think Jane knows that I've fallen for Skye. Jane will probably be watching both Skye and I to make sure that I tell her what I am and change her in time to go back to Italy. I don't want to change her and I don't want to go back to the Volturi. I really want to get out of this, Carlisle. I don't want to be a killer anymore."

Carlisle nodded, taking everything in. "Is it okay if Edward and I talk about this?" he asked, motioning to the woods behind them.

I nodded, "I'll wait right here."

They walked off into the woods and I stood there, waiting. I had a feeling that what they were talking about was going to take awhile so I decided to sit down and relax. My phone went off after a few minutes of waiting. Taking it out of my pocket, I looked at the main screen. I had a new text from Skye.

Skye: Aaaaaallllleeeeeeeeccccccc

I smiled and quickly replied.

Alec: Bored?

Skye: Yup. Wat r u up 2?

Alec: Nm, just waiting.

Skye: That sounds fun.

I smirked and shook my head.

Alec: Not all

Skye: R u doing anything this weekend?

Alec: I don't have anything planned yet, but that might change in a little bit.
It just depends on how this meeting goes. Y?

Skye: Jw

Alec: Did u want 2 hang out?

Skye: Yea

I sighed, I really wanted to hang out with Skye so that I could protect her, but I couldn't. not yet. I needed to get out of the Volturi soon, before Jane got to Skye. Why did this have to be so hard? Groaning at my thought, I flopped back so that I was lying flat on my back on the grass. I quickly typed back a reply.

Alec: I'll pik u up 2morrow

But we havta meet some old friends of mine. That ok?

Skye: Yea, no prob.

I heard a fake cough and I looked up to see Carlisle and Edward standing at the edge of the woods. Edward probably knew who I was texting.

Alec: Hey, I hav 2 go. I'll talk 2 u later.

Skye: Ok, bye

I stood up and put my phone in my pocket. "Have you been waiting long?"

They both looked at each other before shaking their heads. "Not really. That was Skye?"

I nodded.

"What did you two talk about?"

"She was bored and asked what I was up to. She wants to hang out tomorrow and at first I told her that we probably couldn't hang but then I changed my mind. I told her that we cold probably hang but that we would have to talk to some old friends of mine."

"Meaning us?" Carlisle asked.

Another nod. "I want to tell her about me. Who I really am. I want to make sure she knows what's going on so that she doesn't freak if Jane shows up out of nowhere. I want her to choose if she wants to stay with me or leave me because I'm a freak."

"You're not a freak, Alec."

"Then what am I? I don't age, I have to drink blood to live. I have the power to take away people's senses. And most of all, I kill people!" I screamed. Clenching my fists, I took some deep breaths. "I could kill her," I whispered.

"You wouldn't do that," Edward said, taking a few steps towards me.

"And how would you know that?"

"Because you love her."

I looked up at him, eyes slightly wide. "I don't -"

"You do. You may not have told her that out loud yet, but you do. Your face showed love when you were texting her just now. You wouldn't want to save her, to get out of the Volturi, if you didn't love her," Edward explained. "You don't change your life for just anyone."

"What am I supposed to do? I want to tell her what I am, but I don't want to scare her away. I don't think I could handle it if she left me." I whispered, looking down at me feet.

There was a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Carlisle looking down at me with concern. "We will do everything we can to get you out of the Volturi. But that means that you will have to live like us. No more feeding off of humans, no more using your powers against innocent people. You have to try to act like a human."

"I want to do it."

Carlisle nodded and let go of my shoulder. "You said that you wanted to tell Skye about what you are, what we are, right?"

"Yeah, I thought we could do it tomorrow, if that's okay with you."

"That's fine with us, Alec. We can tell the rest of the family when they get home tonight."

I nodded, "What time should I pick Skye up and head to your house?"

"Is noon okay?"

"That should be fine. Where do you live?"

"About half an hour from here. You'd get back on the highway, heading away from town, and go about five more exits down. Once you get off the highway, take a left. Go about twenty or so miles down until you come to a driveway on your right. There will be a sign that says 'Eternal Way,' that's our driveway."

"Thank you."

They both nodded, "We'll make sure that everything turns out all right."

So how was it? Good? Bad? Please tell me so that I can improve!
