About Time (Demetri/OC){UNDER EDITING}

Chapter 5

I stumbled along the pathway to the house. My key, I'd forgotten my god damn key! The window wasn't locked, upstairs, round the back of the house. Who was I kidding? I was human, I couldn't climb that.

I sat on the step, it was 3:00am and I was sitting on my doorstep cold and shivering, leaning against a door I couldn't open. Great.

My head hit the wooden floor of the cottage. Someone had opened the door. Who?

I looked up to see a pair of red eyes surrounded by blond hair. What? I quickly scrambled up. "W-what are you doing in my house?"

"I'm here to apologise and find out what's happening." What was Jane doing?

"Apologise for what?" I asked.

"I hurt you."

I stumbled past her, a little lightheaded.

"Are you okay?" She asked, a hand on my shoulder.

I nodded. "This way." I needed a drink.

Jane sat down while I poured out some water before going to sit down next to her on the sofa.

"Your wrist," she pointed.

I looked to my right wrist to see a bite mark scar a crimson red against my skin. "Oh."

"What happened?" She asked. "Demetri wasn't himself when he came back."

I looked down guiltily. "I was attacked, he saved me."

"He said something about Edward Cullen."

I looked at Jane. "Who's he?"

"A vampire that fell in love with a human," Jane sighed. "He refused to change her, something about her soul."

I bit my lip remembering his words at the tower: "I am not an angel, an angel would have a soul." I took a sip of my drink, he had a soul, he'd saved me.

"She was his la tua cantante. Edward made love to the human and they had a halfbreed child." Jane laughed, a single nervous sound. "The whole Volturi went to kill them but the Cullens proved that the child was harmless."

"What does this have to do with me?" I asked, my head now spinning.

"Demetri's scared."

"What?" I set the glass down with a bang on the coffee table.

"He's found his mate," Jane took my hand, which had now begun to shake. "And she's a human."

I sat silent unable to produce a single sound.

Jane laughed at my expression. "You are a strange human."

"I prefer eccentric," I muttered.

Jane smiled, something I'd never seen before. Besides where was her twin? "I respect you human, you were able to withstand my pain. However Demetri refuses to speak to me now."

I looked at her confused. "I still don't-"

"It's you, you're his mate!" She laughed.

I let my mouth hang open as I lightly traced my new scar. No, that was impossible. "But I broke..." I trailed off unable to admit what I had done.

"I listened in to what he told Felix, he was trying to scare you away, to save you. To make you never come back," Jane lightly squeezed my hand. "He didn't expect you to bite back."

I sighed. "I was angry, I didn't mean it."

"He was angry too," Jane glanced to the window then looked back at me. "He was angry that you had to be his mate, he believes he doesn't deserve anyone."
