AN: I really liked this chapter and I hope you like it too. IF you're fans of my other stories hopefully I'll get out a chapter in the next two days. I might have not got Alice quite right of Edward in this chapter, but I tried my best.
"What? How am I suppose to know that a human girl has a vampire as a body guard, hmm?" I muttered, studying the vampire that just refused to relax. Still the golden eyes held my attention. "Odd vampire at that."
"Hush, Ari." Jesse hissed. He moved in position to attack. Something wasn't right about that vampire—it was like he knew things. I had a feeling if Jesse fought he would lose immediately.
"Wait a minuet Jess." I murmured placing my hand on Jesse's shoulder and stepping in front of him. The vampire's odd eyes followed me, and he straightened slightly.
"I apologize for hunting your human." I said lamely. "We won't harm the girl. We were just passing through this town and decided to get a meal. "
"What are you doing?" Jesse muttered under his breath.
"Saving your butt," I whispered back.
"It would be better if you leave this place." The vampire said casually. I glanced over at him. He had straightened to his full height, but his body was right in front of the girl.
"Absolutely," I agreed, but I didn't move, the vampire didn't move either. "My name is Ariel and this is Jesse."
"Edward." The vampire said solemnly.
"Bella," A voice chirped behind Edward. I watched amused, as the girl stepped out beside Edward.
"Hello Bella," I said welcomingly. She smelled very appetizing, a soft lavender smell. It mad my mouth water, but the sharp growl from Edward made my thoughts rearrange themselves.
"Sorry, I just let my thoughts…" I let my words die. That was it! He could read minds!
"Yes, and I would appreciate it if you keep your thoughts in check." Edward said pleasantly but I heard the real threat in his voice.
Lydia was suddenly standing beside me. Her eyes were a dark red, but they looked hungrily at Bella. Edward snarled, and I instantly wrapped my arms around Lydia's waist.
"You already fed. Keep yourself in check or you're going to get us all killed." I muttered in her ear. Edward was only one vampire, but he looked like he could take us all on and end it without a scratch.
Confused Lydia nodded sharply. I released her and pushed her back, where Jesse took a hold of her. I looked up at Edward and smiled.
"Like I said we won't touch Bella," I assured, and I muttered to Jesse and Lydia "Let's go."
We ran out of Port Angeles and moved up north again. We stopped just outside a small town called Forks. Just long enough for me to get yelled at.
"What was that all about?" Jesse yelled in my face. Lydia sat curled up against a tree—she hated fights.
"He was powerful Jesse, and I'd rather not be killed." I said sharply. He flashed about ten feet away from me, and back into my face.
"How do you know? We could have gotten rid of him and you could have fed. Now we have to stop here to get you a meal." Jesse growled, at least he was a bit calmer.
"It isn't' like I need to be fed." I snapped, glowering.
"Let me just ask you something. If Xavier finds us and your not at your full strength—tell me Ariel—what will happen?" Jesse said sarcastically.
I looked down at the ground. My fight power suddenly diminished.
"Edward would have killed you." I whispered. "He has the power to read minds. No matter how great you can fight. He would have destroyed you like that." I snapped my fingers to emphasize my point.
"I didn't know." Jesse muttered. I looked up into his eyes the fight had disappeared from them. "That is why he said something about your thoughts."
"Yes," I whispered.
"I suppose we'll have to let you feed here." Jesse said, gesturing with his hand at the small town ahead of us.
"I guess." I murmured, but my mind came up with something different. "Is there anything new about Xavier?"
"He is tracking our trail, but he got a little sidetracked. He is going a different direction now." Jesse muttered. I didn't know exactly how Jesse's gift worked, but he could somehow see people who were tracking him. It was even hard for him to explain, he just saw it in his mind.
"How long will it take him to catch up with us?" I asked.
"The way he's going, I would say two weeks." Jesse said solemnly.
"All right," I said lightly nodding. "I'll go hunt, and don't get in any trouble."
"It's you, I worry about." Jesse countered with a small smile. I smiled back at him and glanced over Lydia. She smiled at me warmly and nodded—I didn't know if she was agreeing with him, or acknowledging that she heard me say I was going hunting.
I was running—probably the best thing about being a vampire—through a forest. I followed a small road that would lead into the town. That is when I spotted a car on the side of the road. A human male was squatted next to the front tire, trying his best to get the tire off and the spare on. I noticed it wasn't just a regular car. It looked like one of them police cars.
His smell was mouthwatering. Stronger than I thought any scent could be. I walked toward him, taking his scent in with deep breaths—delicious. He noticed my approach when I was only a few feet away.
"Can I help you miss?" He asked, scrambling to his feet.
"Charlie!" The man spun around and was suddenly knocked out by a vampire. She had cropped short, midnight black hair and bright yellow eyes. The vampire caught the man before he fell to the ground. Then suddenly a blond vampire was at her side—with the same golden eyes—helping her stuff him in the back seat of the police car.
"Now, who are you?" The black haired female snapped at me. The blond hair vampire gracefully removed the flat tire and put the spare in a matter of three seconds.
"Ariel," I said briskly, annoyed that my meal had slipped away from me again—and it was another one of them yellow eyed vampires. Yellowed eyed vampires: 2, Ariel: 0.
"You seem lost." The black haired vampire said lightly. "By the way, I'm Alice and that's Jasper."
I shook my head, did every yellow eyed vampire have a human.
"You're part of the trio that was at Port Angeles." She stated. "Edward thought you were coming up here. He called you three: youngsters wandering around like they didn't know where they were going."
"You know Edward?" I asked, slightly surprised.
"He's my brother." She said with wide smile.
"Emmet and Rosalie went to retrieve your two partners. If you come with me we'll meet them at our home." Alice said quickly.
"Home?" I asked quizzically.
"Yes, home." Alice assured.
I had a feeling the yellowed eyed vampires had won another one. We were caught--again.
