Angela's POV
"Saint Petersburg, Russia?"
"Yes. Saint Petersburg, Russia."
"But it's the middle if December. Do you know how cold it gets in Russia in winter?"
"I know Jake but what do you want me to do? This is the only opportunity I can find. My visions show the plan will work, but only if it is done now."
"Have you told Demitri yet?"
"No I wanted to tell you first. I will go tell him now."
I got up from the sofa where I had been curled up with Jake and made my way to the stairs leading to the second floor. Slowly I began my ascent not wanting to complete my short journey to the room at the end of the hall. Several weeks ago the mounting stress and tension finally erupted in a cataclysmic explosion. The effects of which are still evident in my backyard and the forest beyond. Demitri and Paul had finally come to blows and neither was willing to back down. The fight was only stopped by Jake issuing a command for Paul to back down while the entire pack held back Demitri. No one really knows what started the fight but I suspect it had something to do with Jane. She had yet to wake up. Despite all our efforts she still would not awaken. I slowed my walk even further as I passed the guest room in which Jane was currently being kept. I peaked in the door and gave a small wave to Paul. He refused to leave her side since the fight. He was lying on the bed with Jane. His body wrapped around hers from behind. He was whispering in her ear and placing soft kisses in her hair. I could not tell what was being said but then again it was between them. Paul looked up at me and gave small smile. It did not reach his eyes. Pain and agony where written all over his face. Closing the door softly I continued my trek down the hall. When I reached the door at the end of the hall I paused. Taking a deep breath I softly knocked on the wooden door.
"You may enter Angela."
Turned the knob I gently opened the door just wide enough for me to slip in. Closing it softly I turned to face Demitri.
"How did you know it was me?"
"Well considering you and Jacob are the only ones who visit me I had a 50/50 chance. That and you walk much lighter then Jacob does."
"Oh."
"Is there something you need Angela."
The fight had affected Demitri just as bad as Paul but in a much different way. Paul's fierce protective nature over Jane and wiliness to give anything to have her back made Demitri feel that he was failing Bella. She was off being tortured and raped daily by monsters while he sat safe half way around the planet. He had abandoned her in his view. I tried to reason with him but he would only burry himself further and further into his self doubt.
"The plan is ready. I have seen its success in my visions."
"What are the details?"
"Heidi will be traveling to Saint Petersburg, Russia in several days time on a mission for the Volturi. During which time she will stumble upon a homeless black cat who she will take pity on. She will take the cat with her in hopes of giving it to Bella for companionship for when she and Felix are away. The plan will work Demitri. I need to know what you want to do. I need someone to travel to Russia with me to watch my back. I would take Jake but he would stick out like a sore thumb. You are the only one who can go with me Demitri. This is entirely up to you. Do you want to seize this opportunity or do you want to wait and hope something else will come along?"
"This decision is entirely upon me then."
"Everything hinges on your choice."
"If I were to say yes when would we leave?"
"There is a flight leaving in five hours. If we leave now we can make it."
"You are sure this will work?"
"Yes."
Demitri stood suddenly and bolted for the door. I chased after him to find him just down the hallway in Jane's room.
"Paul I know we have had our differences but there is something I must ask of you."
"What is it Demitri?"
"Will you watch over Jane?"
"I would die for her."
"That is all I needed. Ang lets go."
Together we headed down to the kitchen were we found Jake and Sam tapping away on a laptop.
"Alrighty I have the two of you booked on the 11:10 flight out of SeaTac. You will change plans in Washington DC then again in Moscow. You will arrive in Saint Petersburg at 5:50pm tomorrow. It is a 31hour flight but it is the best I can do on short notice."
"Thank you Sam it will have to do. Demitri, do you need to hunt before we fly?"
"No I will be fine. Why are we talking commercial flights? What of the private jet Jane and I arrived in?"
"The Volturi believe you and Jane are dead. They sent someone to retrieve the plane months ago. I thought you knew this?"
"It must have slipped my mind. Sam, thank you, we will make the flights work."
"You welcome Demitri. It is the least I can do to help."
"Demitri."
"Yes Jacob."
"Bring my girls home."
"I promise."
