Author's Note: I seriously apologize for my month long disappearance. I had almost finished the entire story and was going to post about three chapters when my flash-drive crashed. Needless to say, i was upset and discouraged, and didn't even want to finished this story. But, I got more ideas on how the story could go and decided to continue writing. I'm not very encouraged right now, so it would be nice if you could help me out. Sorry the chapter's so short. They'll be wayyyyyy longer in the near future!

Previously:

"Ready. Set." I said, at the same time I realized that this will be a very interesting shopping trip.

"Go!"

Now:

(EPOV)

Isabella sped out of the garage, with a determined look on her face. I flew back into my seat as she floored the gas pedal. We were in front of Rosalie but behind Jane. Her phone rang a few minutes after the race began. She answered it on the third ring.

"Jane." She said simply. I leaned over slightly and eavesdropped on their conversation, even though I could've heard it from a mile away.

"Isabella. How about we make this race a bit more interesting? Loser has to perform at least three songs when we get to the mall and at least two songs at the ball. Winner gets the satisfaction of watching them embarrass themselves." Jane proposed. I saw Isabella frown slightly.

"Jane, you know how much I hate unnecessary attention but you need it to survive. This deal is unfair. Declined." She shook her head as she spoke.

"Okay, fine. Let's just say that by some miracle, I lose. Then, I will go into full make out session with a human."

"Sounds like a deal to me." Isabella said with a smile.

"Perfect." Jane said from the other line before she ended the conversation. Isabella put her phone back in her purse, not even bothering to keep her hands on the steering wheel, nor her eyes on the road, though we were going at least 250 mph.

"I don't get it. What's so wrong with making out with a human?" I asked, hoping she wouldn't just ignore me like she always does. Her head snapped towards my direction in surprise. She looked as if she had forgotten that I was even here.

"Oh. Ummm…Jane has an aversion to humans. She respects them and all, except for the feeding part, but she hates them." She explained, turning her head back to the windshield in front of her.

"Why?" I tried to keep the conversation going. I don't care if we talked about fish and rapists, I'd do anything to hear her voice.

"Did you hear the story of Jane's past, as a human?" she looked at me for a split second before turning her head back to the road.

"No." She sighed at my response.

"The Volturi had their eyes on Jane and Alec as potential vampires when they were still human, but were waiting until they were older to change them. When frightened humans started to burn the twins at the stake because of suspected witchcraft, Aro stepped in, slaughtering the whole village."

"Is that where she got her power from?" I inquired, though I'd never witnessed the extinct of Jane's power firsthand.

"Yep." She said, as she pulled up to the left of Jane. She rolled down my window and leaned over the armrest to speak to Jane.

"How's it going, Bellsie Boo?" Jane addressed her playfully.

"Perfectly well, Plain Jane." Jane's face scrunched in annoyance.

"We'll see how plain I am when I win this race." Jane challenged Isabella.

"Trust me. You'll look exactly the same for your performance in the mall." Isabella responded with a smile.

"I can't say that I agree." At this moment, Jane looked directly into my eyes and I crouched over in excruciating pain. I clutched my head and screamed at the fire blazing through my body. I couldn't hear, nor could I see. All senses were lost, except the sense of touch because I felt every bit of pain that the flames cause. Time was insignificantly lost as I begged whatever God there was to pull me out of the fiery pits of hell. I mean, I know that my soul was lost in my transformation but even as a human, I hadn't done anything to deserve this. Couldn't I have gone into purgatory before this?

While I was sorting through all the sins that I committed as a human, the pain just…stopped. Just as quickly as it had come. I slowly opened my eyes, expecting to see an angel pulling me out of my own agony. Instead my angel was looking into my eyes, speaking but I couldn't hear, let alone respond to what she was saying. I was captivated by her beauty. Mesmerized by her golden eyes as she stared into mine. Her multicolored hair flowed around her face as silk sheets framed a bed. Her full pink lips made me part my own in desire for them to touch. Her eyelashes were endlessly long and curved into her eyebrows. I felt human again. Heat coursed through my body. Not from the hell that I had been through minutes ago, but from the pleasure of seeing the stunning creature before me. My hearing slowly returned as I heard her beautiful voice calling out my name. Edward. It started off as a whisper but progressed into a frantic scream. I immediately knew that I had to respond.

"Yes, Angel?" I whispered. She smiled slightly and sighed as her smile disappeared. It was then that I remembered why we were here and what happened to me. I got off of the ground of the parking lot and looked at my family, as well as the members of the Guard surrounding me.

"What happened?" I asked no one in particular. Isabella frowned and turned towards Jane, who looked very nervous.

"Jane!" she screamed.

"Yes?" Jane responded, timidly.

"Why would you do that? Aro would have my head if anything happened to any of the Cullens. What if he would've died?" Isabella screamed in obvious aggravation.

"I didn't mean to hurt him that badly. It's just that when I started, I got to thinking of all of the pain that he has put you through. All of them. They should at least feel a fraction of what you have had to live with for the last 60 years! You, of all people, should understand that!" she responded, still maintaining respect for Isabella.

"Jane." she sighed.

"I know. And I'm sorry for not being sorry for hurting him. He deserved that and a whole lot more." She said, looking directly at me.

"You always were stubborn." She said as a smile crept onto her face. "But you can't just go around burning anyone that bothers me."

"Wanna bet?" she mumbled.

"I'm serious, Jane. What about when I first came to the Volturi? You hated me and you hadn't even known me yet. That hurt!" Jane winced as Isabella reminded her of how she treated her.

"But that was different!" she said after a moment of stuttering. It was like we weren't here anymore and they were in their own little world.

"How?" Isabella asked calmly.

"Well…" she exhaled loudly. "Oh, fine! You're right. I shouldn't have done that."

"Exactly. Now you will apologize to Edward for nearly killing him." Isabella requested. Jane's eyes went wide and she looked at Isabella, then me, then back to Isabella.

"Like HELL I will! When hell freezes over, I'll be the first person to apologize to him. But as for now, HELL no! Just because I shouldn't have done it, doesn't mean I'm sorry for it. I don't even like him!" Jane crossed her arms over her chest and stomped her foot with a look of pure determination. Isabella sighed and walked over to Jane.

"I guessed that's good enough for today." Jane smiled and hugged Isabella with as much strength as she could muster. We laughed at Isabella and Jane's childishness.

"I feel so left out." Heidi whined from beside me.

"Oh, come on. You know I love both of my sisters. Even if one is more mentally challenged then the other." She laughed while Jane playfully pouted. Heidi walked up to the both of them for a group hug. They then linked arms with Isabella in the middle, Heidi to the left of her and Jane on the right. They skipped to the entrance of the mall but before entering, turned around to face the rest of us.

"Are you guys coming or not?" Isabella asked, addressing all of us who were standing there with our mouths wide open. I looked over and Demetri and Alec looked completely normal, as if this happened every day.

"Sure." We all responded and walked towards the entrance of the mall.

Author's Note: This chapter was original A LOT less dramatic than it was when I first wrote it. At first, they just yelled a word or two and then just walked into the mall. Now...they argued and Jane expressed herself. YAYYYY! Anyways, review and let me know if I'm going in the right direction here! Love you all!
