THAT FUNNY FEELING

SETTLING BACK IN VOLTERRA AFTER HAVING HER BRAIN OVERLOADED WITH REINSTATED MEMORIES WAS DIFFERENT.

It was a nice kind of different, because despite being back in Forks for only less than a day, she desperately needed a break.

The twins were happy to indulge in her, showering her with promises of board games that they readily fulfilled. Billie had finally gotten to show Alec what Operation was about, only to discover that it was the one board game he absolutely sucked at.

"I have such a steady hand, he says," Billie teased, lowering her voice in a way that was meant to mimic Alec's.

Jane laughed freely alongside her. "How hard could this stupid little game be, he says," she added, all while the two blondes sat across from the boy they were relentlessly teasing. They watched as his hand moved ever so slightly, the loud buzzing noise signalling that he lost once again.

"This is beyond foolish," he complained, tossing the little tweezers that came with the game into the wooden table. He crossed his arms over his chest, a sneer on his pale face. "Mock me all you want; but at least I excel at games that have more depth."

"What kind of depth do board games possess, brother?" Jane asked with an eye roll.

Alec narrowed his eyes at her. "Monopoly requires a mastered skill in manipulation and work ethic," he explained, and the seriousness in his tone only made Billie's laughter ramp up. He took offence to this, clearly. "I don't know why you're laughing, seeing as you never win."

Billie gasped, pointing a finger in his direction. "I've won once! That's once more than Jane has ever won!"

Jane's head swivelled in her direction, ever so slowly. "If tearing your legs off your body wouldn't result in my immediate execution, I would've done so by now."

"Oh, I'm so telling Aro you said that."

All three turned towards the newest presence in the doorway of Caius' study. Jane scoffed in Demetri's direction. "You wouldn't dare."

"I wouldn't," he conceded, approaching the trio of vampires and taking a seat on top of the wooden table, "but seeing you fret about it was worth it."

Jane growled. "I do not fret."

"All you do is fret," Alec told her, the corners of his lips quirking upward as he tried not to laugh at the angered look on his sister's face.

"You fret the most over our dear Billie," Demetri noted, inwardly thinking back on a multitude of occasions where he caught Jane in the act of caring for the girl. "It's endearing; seeing you care for someone other than yourself."

Billie pressed a hand against her chest. "You care about me?" she cooed, slumping a little in her chair with a smile. "Likewise, Janey."

Jane sputtered out a string of unintelligible syllables, ending with a couple Italian words that Billie had an inkling were actually cusses. She finished her agitated rant by rising, addressing the others in the room.
