Edwards P.O.V
"Demetri"
Alice was by my side in an instant. She had this blank stare on her face and I knew she was trying to "see" something.
I immediately started running into the trees following the scent of Demetri when Alice got my attention.
"Wait!" She yelled at me. "We need to talk to the others first." She added. "Edward you can't go after her alone."
"You go get the others!" I growled at her. For a second I thought that she might of had a vision of something useful to me. It's out of line for me to talk to Alice this way, I reminded myself. This isn't her fault. It was Demetri. And with that I flew into the trees with all the speed my body would allow me.
The mixed aroma of all the newborn's scents along with Demetri's was very confusing. I tried to follow only Demetri's scent, but I soon realized I was beginning to go in a circle. Then it suddenly came to my attention that Demetri was the tracker. This is what he does best. I wasn't much of a tracker; I tried that last spring when I left Bella. I couldn't even successfully track another vampire, much less one that was known for his tracking abilities, Then I heard the huffing coming from behind me, and his thoughts entered my head.
"Filthy little Bloodsucker! I'm going to rip his throat out!" He thought. And I could hear him catching up with me.
Jacob.
"No. Demetri is mine." I growled.
I had stopped to concentrate on Demetri's scent and which direction I should start looking in when the huge red, brown wolf studded to a stop at my side.
"Who the Hell is Demetri?" He thought with a disgusted voice.
"The Vampire who took her, he is with the Volturi" I explained. "Now enough talking, did you take in the scent of the vampire where Bella was last seen?"
"Yes." He thought grimly. He was concentrating now on finding the right path.
"Good, maybe you can follow it better than I can." I added. "Demetri is the best tracker that the Volturi has, and he has done a good job of covering up his trail."
"This way," Jacob thought confidently As he started running north, deeper into the forest.
I Stayed along by his side, But I was really letting him lead the way. A Wolf is made to hunt vampires, so his sense of smell is a little stronger when it comes to hunting them. An hour Past and we were Still Just wondering deeper and deeper into the forest.
My poor Bella. I told her nothing would happen to her. She must be terrified right now. I WILL find her, and I'll rip Demetri apart for this.
Why would he take her? I was suddenly taken over by more rage than I thought was possible considering how angry I am right this moment. I recalled Aro saying something about coming to check up on Bella, to see how she was doing, But really it was to see if she was still human. One of two things was going to happen to Bella if I didn't get to her in time.
She would be killed or changed into a vampire.
Jacob then realized that he, too, was starting to go in a circle. We both stopped in Frustration.
"Shit!" Jacob thought in furry.
"Let's turn back, we need to talk to the others." I decided. "I know where he is taking her."
"Then let's go now!" Jacob answered me eagerly in his thoughts.
"Volterra is in Italy Jacob" I spat at him. "I'm going to have to take a plane, now let's go tell the others."
And with that I whirled around and started heading to my house. I knew everyone must be there by now and maybe they already have a plan.
"you're going to take a plane?" He questioned me. "What about me? I'm going with you!"
"No." I muttered. "I'm going alone."
I think it will be best if I go alone. Aro isn't as likely to let a group of angry vampires inside the castle, as he would be to let one angry vampire in. After all, I would be out numbered, so no harm could come of it. Well no harm to them anyway. They might decide to kill me; but if I can't save Bella then I welcome death with open arms.
We were half way to my house when I finally paid attention to what Jacob was thinking.
I swear, the day Bella finally admits she is in love with me, she is taken away by some leech! He thought to himself.
"What did you just say mutt!" I questioned him, then he let the memory of him and Bella kissing at the campsite enter his mind, also entering my mind.
He let the memory play in his mind over and over. They, clinging to one another, kissing each other so forcefully and passionately, the way I could never kiss Bella. I was instantly so jealous of him that I could kill him with pure pleasure.
I was about to fling him into a tree when he interrupted me in mid-thought.
"she gave me permission!" He let his thoughts explain, followed by the memory of her telling him to kiss her. I assume he knew what I was planning to do to him and I couldn't argue him. I had agreed that if Bella gave him permission to kiss her, I wouldn't touch him. And if it was what Bella wanted, then I wouldn't touch him.
So does this mean that she chose Jacob after all? He is a much healthier choice for her, but I was the one that got her into this mess and I'm going to save her. I just hope that she still wants me over Jacob, I know it's selfish of me, but I don't care. I've waited for Bella my whole existence; there was no way I was going to let this mutt win her over.
Bella's P.O.V
As I climbed that last step onto the jet I was amazed. The inside was beautiful. It looked completely new, or never used. It had six leather seats, making two rows. Each seat against the wall was placed beside a round window that showed the outside, you could see the wings through the windows beside the two seats in the middle.
Down the aisle, behind the seats was a tan leather couch, with two golden decorative pillows. Across from the couch there was a flat screen TV that was half the size of the couch. In the very back, there was a door I guessed to be the bathroom.
To my left, at front of the jet, was a small counter and fridge, along with a microwave. You could seriously live in this thing. Through the kitchen, on the back wall was what looked to be like a sliding door. I guess that's where the pilot would be and that thought calmed a little. At least I wasn't going to be the only human here.
Jane and Felix walked past me and sat in the first two seats.
"Go ahead and make yourself comfortable Bella." Demetri encouraged me.
Yea. As if I could make myself comfortable in this situation, then he slipped past me and entered the pilot area and I watched him put on the headset and start pressing buttons.
Are you serious? I thought to myself. I was hoping I wasn't going to be the only human on here, I would have felt better knowing I wasn't the only one in danger. I know that's wrong, but it would have brought me a little comfort.
I walked to the back of the jet to sit on the couch, my knees wobbling the whole way there. I sat down and tried to sort through my thoughts.
Okay, so I'm here because Aro has requested to see me. But what does that mean? Maybe he truly just wants to see me. No, that can't be true. Something is wrong here, very wrong. Like I knew it would, sorting through my thoughts irritated the hole in my chest.
Edward could be alive or dead. Anyone I love that fought in the clearing could be dead.
I laid across the couch and let the constant tears run down my cheeks. And Jacob. I know I gave him the wrong idea. Well actually I am in love with him, that much he already knew, but it couldn't change things between me and Edward. I still loved Edward in a way that wasn't possible for loving someone else. If Edward is alive, he should know about me and Jacob by now. Would he forgive me?
I slowly drifted off into sleep without meaning to. It was amazing how I could relax enough to fall asleep in this situation, but my eyelids where aching to shut so I gave in.
~~*~~
I woke up screaming, and at the same time falling off the couch.
"What the hell?" Jane's shocked voice spat at me. She and Felix were turned around in their chairs staring at me.
It had been a while since I had a nightmare, with Edward being around again, but it was the same one that used to haunt me. It only had one small change. It was the nothingness again, but this time there was someone lurking in the shadows and I could see them approaching me from the corner of my eye. I was trying to find a way through the forest, but my legs couldn't move fast enough and he was gaining on me. The screaming started right before he grabbed me. I knew who the man in my dream was. It was Demetri.
I looked up to see Jane and Felix still staring at me, as if they were waiting on me to say something.
"Um, nightmare" I murmured, then I got up and walked into the little bathroom. I did need to go, but I mainly just wanted to escape their piercing eyes.
I looked in the mirror and my hair was a mess, just like it was earlier this morning, but this time I didn't bother trying to fix it. After a few moments I walked back into the main part of the jet. I sat back down on the couch and stared at the blank TV screen in a daze, then my stomach growled loudly.
Jane let out a sigh, then went to the kitchen area and got something out of the oven. She pulled down the little folding table beside the couch and slid the plate my way.
"Eat." She muttered. I could tell she didn't like having to take care of me, but also that she must have been told to because there's no way she is doing this by choice.
I took the rounded lid off the plate and saw a steak and baked potato. It looked good, but I just stared at it.
Jane let out a "ugh" and got up again, this time returning to me with some silverware and a bottle of water.
"There," She spat. "Eat." She reminded me.
I did as she said, and started eating the food without tasting it. How long have we been on the jet? I guess I'll find out soon enough. I tried to push past the thoughts of Edward, or Jacob, and focus on what was coming.
After I was finished eating, I got up to go put my plate in the sink. On my way back to the couch I fell, catching myself on the arm rest of one of the leather seats.
"Sit down and buckle up Bella," I heard Demetri call over his shoulder. "We're landing."
I did as he said, sitting in the window seat and buckled up. I looked out of the window to find the beautiful view I saw just last year, but from a different angle. I knew this place all too well.
Volterra.
Thanks for reading my third chapter!! Please Please leave reviews!!!
Also: Jacob doesn't get injured in this story like he did in Eclipse. While everyone is fighting the newborns in the clearing, Jacobs notices that Alice is missing before he helps Leah. Don't worry Sam Helps Leah, and he is the one that gets hurt. Leah is quite satisfied by that. So Jacob follows Alice into the campsite and she tells him what is going on, then he goes to help Edward search.
