Author's Note: Really sorry I'm wasting time putting this in, but it has some good-ish information. Okay, this is a little story I came up with, for Jane and Demetri. I figured, there aren't enough Jane romance fics in this world, why not go ahead and write one. Oh, and I know this chapter is very, VERY long. It has, like, over two thousand words alone in just this chapter. So yeah. I'll stop writing now, so you actually have time to read the story. Stephenie Meyer owns all. I own nothing (except for the OC that will come in later). Please review! Keep writing (and reading)! Peace!

I Know No Hatred

I was walking back from the airport. I was alone, but what was wrong with that? As a vampire, I was perfectly capable of self-defense. No human was a danger, that was for sure. And vampires would be risking their existence just by speaking to me. I was perfectly fine. Or so I thought.

I had only barely noticed the red eyes that were walking all to close behind me through the dark. I decided it better to take a secret way to the palace, instead of the front. So I walked down the nearest alleyway to where I saw the grate, which lead to one of the underground tunnels. Just as I was a few feet from it, one of the pairs of eyes swept in front of me.

"And where do you think you're going, girl?" he said. Then he stepped away from the shadows, and into a thin sliver of moonlight, directly in front of me. I pulled my grey cloak tighter around my small body, and brought my gaze up to him from under my hood. He just laughed, when the attack did no damage.

"We have a shield, child. Now come with us," he said, as he gripped my thin arm. I was actually quite weak, even for a vampire. I always relied solely on my powers to protect me. He jerked me down the alleyway, and back out onto the street. We were just barely passing the castle entrance, when someone stepped in front of the men. Demetri. I smiled in response to his intervention. He growled at the three, I had now counted three, perpetrators. I was only slightly discouraged when they laughed in response. About five seconds more, and Demetri was at his throat, the one who was holding me. The vampire released my wrist, but pushed me, very hard, in doing so. I was thrown to the edge of the street, and landed flat on my back. One of the others brought their gaze on me, and instantly my vision was blackened, until I was sure I was unconscious. He had a power like Alec's. But I could faintly hear my surroundings, still. I think some of the rest of the Guard had come out, and were bringing the three vampires into the castle to be destroyed. Trying to kidnap the Guard's most prized weapon was one way to provoke Aro. Then I felt strong arms wrap around me, and realized Demetri was probably carrying me back to the castle.

I awoke in my room, laid on my bed. Nobody ever really used beds, well, except Felix and Heidi, but I preferred not to think of what they used it for. We used them mainly for the act, just in case, by some off chance, a human were to find the rooms. I leaned up on my elbow, and looked around. No one seemed to be in the room. Then I noticed Demetri, laying right next to me. How did I not notice that the moment I woke up? Hmm. I flipped over to face him.

"Demetri, what exactly is it that you want?" I asked.

"I was just making sure you were okay," he assured me, actually sounding concerned. I nodded, and let myself fall back against the mattress. I closed my eyes, but noticed he'd begun stroking my face. Oddly enough, I found it comforting. No, no, NO! I was Jane Volturi, not some softy vampire who falls in love. I am just the opposite. I house nothing but hatred in my dead body. Was that why I was enjoying the moment? I kept my eyelids closed, but I longed to open them and see his face. I swear he moved closer, and then I felt his cold breath on my face. I knew what was coming. Waiting for it. I just wanted to scream at him, and kick him out of my room, when he did. His cool breath was right above my mouth then, and then he closed the space. The first thing I was planning on doing was pushing him away, calling him a pervert, and kicking him out of my room. But somehow, I couldn't. I tried to bring myself to it, but my body refused to move. So, instead of refusing the one act that completely went against my reputation, I lay on the bed, doing nothing, responding with no act whatsoever. Alec would be calling the mental hospital if he caught me acting like this, vampire or not. Demetri, finally, pulled away from my lips, only to align our faces.

"What was that for?" It was supposed to come out rather rude, but somehow, my voice made it come out sounding utterly innocent and confused. Stupid senses can't even tell when to push someone away. Maybe vampires don't get clearer senses.

"Must you ask?" I probably should have to, but sadly, I didn't. I knew full and well that Demetri liked me. The worst part, possibly the most embarrassing fact of my existence, was that I returned the favor. I loved Demetri. I tried to push that, and the incident from five seconds ago to the back of my mind, and regain knowledge of what was going on.

"Wait, what happened?" I asked, stopping him from trying to kiss me again.

"These bastards stalked you on your way back from the airport, and kidnapped you. You couldn't do anything, because they had a shield with them. So they got a little bit past the castle when we stopped them. Um, I think one of them had some power, so he immobilized you. That was three days ago. We all thought you might've died. Well, not really died, but whatever the equivalent is for vampires. They kept the shield, and the one that attacked you. Aro thinks that they're ' too valuable to waste'. And now you're here, but we should probably take you to Aro," he explained. I nodded, and began to get up. He beat me to it, and I was soon standing on the ground, him watching me carefully. I felt amazingly weak. I had never felt so tired before. I was about to just collapse, when Demetri caught me.

"Maybe that guy's power is more valuable that I thought…" he trailed off, helping me walk out of the room. We went down the hall at normal, human speed, and stopped at Aro's study. Demetri knocked on the door, and I faintly heard Aro tell us to come in. Demetri lead me in, and had me sit on one of the chairs in front of Aro's desk. They began talking about something, but I couldn't quite hear. I felt too weak, completely drained of energy. I just wanted to go back to my room and rest. Demetri was carrying me back soon enough, I was just too drained to walk. He laid me on my bed, and then laid down beside me. He stroked my hair, and kissed me again, me being too weak to give any reaction back. I was lying with my eyes closed, him about to kiss me again, when someone knocked at the door. Demetri ran up, and pulled it open, only to reveal Alec. He looked completely panicked, and ran over to the side of the bed.

"Oh my god, Jane, are you alright?" he asked quickly. I nodded. He just looked at me with pity in his eyes. Then, realizing that Demetri was the only other one here, he got up and confronted him.

"And why are you here, with my sister?" he demanded. Demetri smirked.

"I am here, because she loves me," he said. Alec looked appalled. He turned to me, and asked if it was true. I nodded, very weakly. He narrowed his eyes back at Demetri, and pulled him out to talk in the hall. I could just barely make out their voices.

"Listen to me, Demetri. I don't want to hurt you, you've always been a friend, but you can expect your life to end, very abruptly, if you hurt my sister. Understand?" Alec.

"I would never hurt Jane. And you should've known this would happen. Signs have been around for at least the last decade. Don't act surprised."

"I know. I've actually been waiting for you guys to just get it over with. Oh, and another thing. Don't move too fast with her. She seems strong, but she doesn't like change. Take your time." I think that was the end of the conversation. Was Alec really being that overprotective? And wait…have I really been showing signs I liked Demetri for the last decade? Demetri walked back in the room, shutting the door behind him, and I heard Alec walk away. He smiled slightly, and walked to my side. I looked over at him, and he frowned.

"Jane, you're thirsty," he said, and left before I could protest. I never realized the burning in the back of my throat, I guess I was too tired to notice much at all. Demetri came back into the room, with a clear glass of blood. Downed it quickly, and laid in his arms. I could really stay this way forever. Once again, I questioned my own sanity. Me, Jane Volturi, falling in love. Not natural. He began kissing me again, and I could now put my own effort in as well. His mouth moved seemingly perfect along mine. He began slightly chewing on my lower lip, and I split my lips without hesitation. It pretty much went on like that for a while, until Alec barged in. He looked surprised, and somehow disappointed. Then he left the room silently. Demetri would probably get it later, especially after the whole "take it slowly" part of the deal. That is, if he even saw Alec later. I kind of felt sorry for my brother. But I didn't really know why. After a bit more kissing, I fell limply onto the mattress. My energy was drained, once again. Demetri noticed, and left the room. Alec came in a moment later, and sat beside me on the bed.

"Jane, you really need to get some rest. I'm sorry about this," he said. A dark fog encased me slowly, and the next thing I knew, I couldn't see, feel, hear, much less smell anything. He had used his power on me. How dare he! Oh, he was getting in from me when I wake up, believe me. But for then, I just had to wait until the power wore off. It wouldn't do any good to fight it, just make me weaker.

I woke up, feeling only slightly stronger. Still probably not enough to walk on my own, by Demetri's standards. But then again, he'd rather carry me, regardless. I looked around, and was surprised to be alone. I was also craving blood. The burning was becoming unbearable now, it felt as though I'd been bitten. I carefully pulled myself into sitting position, and noticed a fresh glass of blood on my desk. I walked over, and downed it quickly. The burning stopped. I walked back over to my bed and laid down again. Being a vampire can be so boring. I expected Demetri to be here soon. He usually didn't leave me at all anymore. Someone knocked on the door, and I quickly called for them to come in. It was Aro.

"Good morning, Jane," he greeted me. I smiled, and nodded in response. I couldn't imagine what he might want. He came over and sat at the foot of the bed.

"Jane…Demetri, he, well…he cares for you more than you think. He isn't using you. But if he ever hurts you, dear one, he will not live long enough to apologize," he said. I had always thought of Aro as kind of a father to Alec and I, but he was really acting like it now. Wow. Apparently we're public now. This would probably turn into disaster. I nodded. Aro smiled, and left. I laid back, and actually pondered the situation for a moment. What if he is lying? What if he doesn't love me, like he apparently says he does? I tried to keep those facts at the back of my mind. I closed my eyes, and pretended to sleep. I heard the door creak open and closed, and slightly heard footsteps coming towards me. I knew who it was though, especially when he leaned in and pulled me into a kiss. I put a little effort into it, but not much. I was just basking in the moment. Demetri pulled back, and hopped- literally, the bed bounced so high I could've hit the ceiling -into bed next to me. I moved closer and nestled into his chest. He rubbed my back with one hand. The other was gently stroking my hair. He slowly toyed with the hem of my shirt, until he slipped his hand up my shirt. I arched my back away from the touch, surprised. He looked amused by this, but also slightly concerned.

"What's wrong?" he asked. I shook my head, not wanting to answer. He narrowed his eyes, and asked again.

"Nothing, it's just…just…Demetri, I don't think I'm ready yet…" I trailed off. How was I supposed to say it without sounding completely stupid? He smirked, and let his hand travel farther up my back, until he came around the strap of my bra. He fingered it for a moment, and then looked like he was continuing. I punched his chest, and he just pulled his arm out and laughed.

"I'm just kidding, Jane," he said, still laughing. I rolled my eyes, and scooted to the other end of the bed, frowning.

"Oh, come on Jane! Whatever happened to little miss fearless, or the Volturi super weapon? You'll be fine!" he tried. She left as soon as you came, I thought. I didn't say anything, but just moved farther away, until I was almost slipping off. He should know by now, you don't kid around with Jane Volturi.
