^^ But TeamTaycobSoDealWithIt...The Cullen's DO follow the Volturi rules. They follow them faithfully. The Cullen's also strive to hang low so that they're not noticed by the Volturi. Until Edward went to the Volturi in NEW MOON, Carlisle, nor any of his family/coven, had ever met them or had anything to do with the Volturi. Sure, Bella knew about vampires...but she was planning on becoming one...and it wasn't the Cullen's who ever told her...Jacob told her. Anyway, the Cullen's pretty much followed the rules tha the Volturi imposed.
