JASPER POV
CNN: Hello, Eva O'Connor reporting from Seattle, WA; at the scene where fifteen year old Kylie Madison reportedly went missing three days ago. We're here with a source close to Kylie who spoke to her just hours before her disappearance:
SOURCE: She called me uh, Friday afternoon. She was pretty upset about something; she was crying. She kept telling me she was stressing out, um, and then she decided to go for a hike near the Peninsula. She asked me to call her the next morning to make sure she was awake in time for the show fashion show. I said goodbye, and that's the last I heard from her. Called her the next morning and no one picked up; I never really thought twice about it.
REPORTER O'CONNOR: Kylie was not reported missing until Saturday night, when she never showed for the runway show she was modeling for-
"So sad…" Esme's eyes were glued to the flickering T.V. screen which now flashed a picture of a beautiful young girl, a hotline number printed on the bottom of the screen.
Kylie's parents refused to comment on the situation. She lived with roommates in a downtown Seattle apartme-
Emmett's booming laugh carried in from the kitchen followed by the airy giggle of Renesmee,
Police are still investigating the disappearance; evidence is leading to suicide or abduction. The body has yet to be found.
Esme clicked the television off, and flitted into the kitchen.
Bella sat smiling on the floor; Renesmee was perched on her lap, giggling as Emmett tickled her. Edward grinned as he stood leaning against the counter.
I was drawn to the room from the waves of happiness emanating from my family members. Alice was holed up in our room, currently indulging her shopping fetish by rush-ordering every designer piece she saw. She left me with little to do, waving me away with a flick of her little wrist.
"Jasper," Bella smiled up at me, "Would you mind helping Emmett baby sit Nessie, we were going hunting up North…" she trailed off to gesture to Edward, Esme and Carlise.
"Edward," Emmett paused to give him a childish glare, "didn't trust me alone with her, something about being a 'bad influence'"
Edward cracked a smile, and I was hit by another wave of emotion.
"Sure," I replied. "I'll help out." It'd be good to have the house to myself, well sort of… Me and Alice needed the alone time.
Edward grinned at my thought, "Alice is coming with us."
"Great." I replied sarcastically, Alice and I hadn't done the deed, so to say, since the whole welcoming Bella and child to the family. She was always too distracted by Nessie, or shopping, or the new hobby she picked up; cooking for Charlie. Never does she have time for me; doesn't she care about my needs? Okay, so maybe I'm being a bit dramatic…
Edward thought so too, I looked up to see him smirking.
So that night, after tucking Renesmee into bed, the six of them embarked on their four day hunting "journey". And I was left with Emmett… this should be good.
Emmett talked his usual nonsense and tried to persuade me into telling him how Alice was in bed- not that I would know it's been too damn long. I wouldn't budge and eventually Emmett calmed down thanks to me. Ha!
I settled onto the couch next to Emmett, we were stuck in Edward and Bella's cottage for the night. Bella wanted Nessie to sleep in her own bed.
The news was on- more about that missing girl. I looked at the image plastered on the screen. She was a pretty girl, maybe a bit too thin but she had a striking face; big grey-blue eyes and high cheekbones, full lips and a brilliant smile. Of course she was a model.
The image dissolved as Emmett flipped through the channels; sports, some soap opera, infomercial, something about U.F.O.s, finally Emmett settled on a show about a bunch of blondes. Girls Next Door, of course Emmett.
"Edward wouldn't approve…" I joked.
Emmett laughed loudly, and soon I could hear the soft footfalls of Renesmee leaving her room. I turned to stare at Emmett disapprovingly.
Nessie appeared in the doorway, I felt a small wave of apprehension wash off her as she saw me. I felt a twinge of guilt; I knew I wasn't exactly as involved in her upbringing as the rest of my family.
"Come here Ness," Emmett patted the couch in between us.
Nessie smiled and walked over to us, she placed her small warm palm against my cheek and images of her dreams and Emmett's laughter flooded my mind.
You woke me up.
"Sorry Nessie." Emmett grinned.
She dozed off quickly, and I was amazed at how warm her body was where it touched my skin, Renesmee was truly special.
The rest of the time passed quickly. I would say it flew by, but we vampires don't have the best sense of time.
