Thanks for sticking with this story. I know it's starting off a bit slow, but hang on in there please! You'll find out why I made Colette, John Dillinger's sister soon! I promise! Thank you to the people who review, I really appreciate it.

So here is the other chapter. :] Enjoy!

"So, you gonna fill me in on why I haven't seen or heard from you in the last 47 years?"Jasper asked the next day, walking into my room. I turned to him and smiled, putting a book back onto the shelf. "Do you know how worried this family has been?"

"Jasper, please, Bella didn't know who I was and wasn't even alive, Edward and I never see eye to eye-"

"But everyone else cares about you. Don't make excuses." He told me. I watched him sit down on my bed as I leaned against the wall. "Then, we find out Peter knew exactly where you were for all those years. You went to see him and Char but can't make the few extra miles to see me?"

"Jasper you know it's not like that. I made a decision to stay away and all of our countdowns changed, it was for the greater good. You would have died a few years back…for good." I replied, walking towards him and taking my stop next to him on the bed. "I-"

"Don't use your gift as an excuse, Colette. I can feel that you are lying." Jasper mumbled, looking over to the wall. "Did we say or do something that made you stay away?"

"Of course not, you know I love this family. You've done nothing wrong. I just thought it would be better to keep away then to come visit."

"You know we're not letting you leave this time, right?" He asked with a small smile. I couldn't help but stare for a few seconds.

"Knowing you and Emmett, of course. I'm stuck with you guys aren't I?"

"And going to high school!"

"I've never been to high school. I was always home schooled so it would be a good change." I chuckled, shaking my head. "But…"

"No, no buts, you are staying here." Jasper said, his eyes were starting to get dark and I raised my chin up in a small challenge. I knew what he was trying to do, it was a habit and it was a part of him. We all knew who this was.

"Back down Major," I warned, my voice never wavering. "I'm not one of your newborns."

"I apologize Colette." He said quietly, nearly unheard. I watched his eyes slowly regain their golden color as he looked at me. "Anyway, what have you been up to since I've last seen you?"

"Walking around Chicago and avoiding the Volturi. Seems like I'm a sitting duck for them now since they are coming here. They're gonna shit when they see me." I chuckled, shrugging. What could you do when it came to the Volturi? If they asked me to join, I would have no other choice. They are only refused once, the second time you either come by force or you die. A good friend of mine in the Volturi, Chelsea, could tell you that. "Other than that, I've done nothing. What about you and Alice?"

He chuckled softly, his eyes casting downward. He suddenly found the carpet interesting. "There is no 'me and Alice' anymore. We got a divorce a few years ago."

"What? Why?"

"What else? A vision." He smiles slightly, raising his left shoulder up in a shrug. "I still love her, I will always love her, but she said she can see her mate and I will not stand in the way of that. She told me mine was coming also, sooner than hers." He leaned back against the headboard. "It's not the waiting that is hurting."

I nodded. I knew that feeling all too well. Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful, but not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering. Alice always depended way too much on her visions and it was going to cost her one day. It already cost her her marriage to Jasper but by the looks of it, neither of them really minded. I looked up at him, "Do you think this will all work out? I mean, do you think we'll be able to get Victoria and show the Volturi that Nessie is not a threat?"

I had met Nessie earlier in the day before she was whisked back off towards La Push. The stench of dog was way too much for me and I had to leave the house until it aired out. I liked Jacob, don't get me wrong, but his scent was just something I could not handle. He obviously couldn't get over the fact of my smell and that I was John Dillinger's sister. It seemed to stump him for a moment or two while he looked back and forth between Jasper and I for conformation. I had to laugh at it before I left.

"We'll do the best we can. There could be lives lost. Victoria is not someone you take lightly. She's strong and she's fast. And a lot like you, she can get out of tight situations fast. She's smart."

"Well…we'll see about that." I grinned and made my way to the window. "I'm too tough, too smart, and too fast for her. I'll be able to get her."

"Something is telling me that we need to go to 2053 Cooper Street in Indianapolis, Indiana." We heard Peter mumble from downstairs. I perked up and looked at Jasper, who was looking back at me with dark eyes. For some reason that address struck something within me."But then my gift is telling me to go to 456 Northridge Drive."

"I know those addresses…why do I know those addresses?" I whispered, walking to the door and swinging it open to walk downstairs. It would help if I was downstairs with Peter, hopefully he could help me out.

"Well, you should know them…" Peter told me as I walked into the living room. "The first one is John's birth home and the second is yours."

"But why would your gift be telling you to go there?" I asked. There was no point. I couldn't even remember how to get to Johnny's birth home and I knew very little about how to get to mine before you pass the Mooresville sign. "There's absolutely nothing there that could help us in this situation."

"Plus, Cooper Street barely exists anymore. Most of it was demolished due to the construction of I-70." Edward said as he walked in from the outside where Bella was practicing with Char. He was right, I remembered reading something about it in the newspaper and feeling a sick feeling in my gut.

"But the house still stands." Peter informed. He was serious, wasn't he? "I know it does."

"It does but there is nothing there to help us." said Edward, sitting down at the table. His hands were folded over each other and he was watching us as we started to put two and two together.

"Have you been there? How could you possibly know?"

"Okay, settle down, guys, settle down. I know this is stressful but we don't need to go to each other's throats." Carlisle soothed, lowering his hands so Peter sat down also. Carlisle just had that effect, the ability to get us all calmed down with just his soft words. "We need to be calm about this, now is not the time to make rash decisions."

"No, now is the time to get Garrett down so we can make battle plans. It's coming faster than we thought. It'll either come here or we will go there." Peter explained, his hands waving around. "And I don't want it close to this town."

"And I refuse to be any more of a sitting duck than I already am." I spoke up; my arms were crossed underneath my breasts.

"But we don't know where 'there' is!" Rose sighed heavily, running her perfectly manicured nails through her golden locks.

"Someone go check on Bella, see how she's doing." Peter sighed. "She may be our only salvation to this. We will depend on her more than anyone if this is gonna go how I think it will. We need to be ready."

Jasper nudged me and I nodded, getting up to walk outside. Bella and Char were executing moves around each other. Bella learned quick with the fighting part, using her shield would have to wait until we had someone who could actually get around it. Bella was learning quickly and I felt a small amount of pride well up inside my chest as she flipped over Char. I could tell she was getting a bit agitated with Bella, who kept spinning out of the way instead of swinging. Bella was on offense when she should have been on defense. I shook my head, chuckling as Char caught Bella and pushing her into the ground.

"Swing, Bella! Don't just use aerial assaults!" I instructed watching from the deck. I saw Bella nod and then there was a clash of metal as Bella's fist connected with Char's face. I tried so hard not to snicker as the crack on the side of Char's face started to heal.

Bella looked absolutely embarrassed and clasped her hands over her mouth in horror. "Oh, my, Char I am so sorry!" Char waved her off and went on offense as Bella came back at her after a little bit of coaxing.

"Hey Stock Market!" Emmett yelled as he made his way over to me. I rolled my eyes before looking back at the girls wrestling, a smile pulling at my lips.

"Why do you call me that?"

"Because you're like the Stock Market, you see numbers and know when it crashes." He smiled, coming to a stop next to me. His large frame was casting a slight shadow over me, blocking out the sun, which was attempting to break free from the clouds but seemed to be losing the fight. "Only dealing with lives. Anyway, whatcha doin'?"

"I'm not sure really, there are just numbers flying around and I'm trying to figure out what they mean and why I am seeing them." I sighed. "It's kind of like the matrix. Oh, and I'm watching Bella and Char obviously. She's learning. I'm proud of her."

"Perhaps you see numbers for every living thing?" He asked, turning his eyes to the girls also. He seemed to just want to skip over the obvious and go straight to the problem. That's what a brother does. I considered him my brother, he was very protective of the people he loved and I was not excluded from it.

"No, cause it doesn't show up when I hunt animals."

"Maybe your gift is in overdrive?" I looked at him. Overdrive? "Well, think about it. When something stressful happens, Alice, Jasper, and Edward's gifts go crazy. I'm sure Peter is getting insignificant facts about things; that could be why he said your addresses, so why should yours be any different? You're probably seeing everyone's numbers all mixed together or just numbers in general that could mean something or not."

"When did you get so smart?" I chuckled at him. He really wasn't as dumb as he looks. He was a lot smarter than many people give him credit for. He paid attention and because he likes to look at the brighter sides of life, it makes him seem stupid.

"I'm not as dumb as I seem." He laughed and looked out at the forest. "I've also seen how you and Jasper act around each other."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play stupid, Dillinger, that you are not and its highly offensive to your name."

"I feel a pull towards him and when he is away, it's painful. I've known him for nearly 60 years but the pain has never been this intense."

"It's because you live with him now, his scent is in your senses, deeper than it ever has been. It's stirred a certain part of your demon. It recognized it."

"How do you know this?"

"Because I felt the same thing with Rose, still do."

"No…you are not-No!"

"Deny it all you want. One day you won't be able to fight it anymore. You'll just mark him." He replied, looking at the Bella flip over Char. "Jasper feels it too, by the way."

I watched him take off towards the middle of the forest to meet Charlotte and sighed. These numbers were making my head spin. I continued to try to sort out the numbers, only having a few disappear at once. Something Emmett had said made sense, maybe these numbers did have a purpose. Emmett had come back with no memory of Portland, only that he went with Rose. That's when the numbers started. Somehow my gift connected to those words.

So what made them significant? They weren't addresses, phone numbers, or bank accounts. They were either way too long or a bit too short. There were only two letters, N and W. I stared intently at the numbers, watching them disappear slowly. Maybe these were numbers of places I have been too…

"That only thing that is important is where somebody is goin', not where they've been." Johnny's voice whispered in my memory. It struck a chord inside me and I instantly sparked up.

"They're coordinates!" I screamed, running to the house at the fastest speed possible. I zipped past Edward, nearly knocking him over into Jasper as the numbers got in order. I grabbed a marker, going to the wall, "Esme, I owe you a new wall!" I yelled as the numbers started to fade fast. I quickly uncapped the sharpie and wrote the numbers on the plaster.

"Colette!" Edward hissed when he came into the room. Edward would always get on my nerves. We fight like true brother and sister but this was pushing it a bit too far. "That is not paper!"

"Shut the hell up Edward! I know! But I know where Victoria is!" With that last statement, everyone came into the room. I pointed to the wall as I put the marker on the table. "These are coordinates to her location. The numbers were jumbled up at the beginning but when Emmett said something, it just clicked and they got organized!"

'43°39′54″N - 70°16′9″W' were written on the wall in black and I was standing next to it in excitement. Everyone's countdowns went back to normal and I could see how much they all had left. Peter punched the numbers into the computer and started to laugh.

"We had the wrong Portland. It's Portland, Maine she's at."

"Alright, two people head to these coordinates, find out what's there, if the same thing happened again like it did too Emmett and Rose, we'll have to work on Bella's shield more before we do anything." Jasper ordered, slipping into the Major slowly. "We will also have to find out who erased Emmett and Rose's memory, but we'll figure that out later."

"I'll go." I said, nodding. It should be an easy trip and I knew my way around Portland, Maine. It was a beautiful area and I was dying to go back. Plus, I would get away from Edward.

"No you won't-Peter and Char will. You will stay here." Jasper said looking dead at me. He seemed to slip in Major mode way too often. I looked at Edward, wondering if this was normal, and when he shook his head, I just knew. Emmett was right but I would continue to deny it until I couldn't.

"Oh no. You guys wanted my help so I offered it. It's only a scout mission and I know the area."

"I said no."

"I don't give a damn what you say, Jasper, I'm going." I went to turn around to walk out the door to get ready to leave when a strong grip was on my arm and there was no way to break free from it while keeping my arm intact. I looked into Jasper's dark, pitch black eyes as they stared into my golden ones. "I said no, Colette. Peter and Char will go."

I growled deep and loud making everyone flinch back. However, Jasper's returning and challenging growl was louder and more menacing then mine and it ordered my submission. I held eye contact as long as I could as his chest continued to vibrate and puff out, showing dominance. A small whimper escaped my throat and made me tuck my chin to my chest, my eyes darting to the floor as quickly as possible. I offered my submission in this innocent and vulnerable form, and he took it, sending his scent towards me in strong waves. I tried not to breathe it in but it was so strong and I couldn't help it. The scent attacked me and it took all my focus and control not to let my inner demon loose to challenge him or throw him on the ground and mark him. It was so intense that if he didn't stop soon, I would just be running on instinct alone. He continued to watch me until he felt satisfied that I was no longer a threat and turned toward the family, no longer "the brother".

"Peter, Char, go to these coordinates. Go now."

"Yes, Major."

"Jasper…" Bella whispered in shock.

"You're not dealing with Jasper, Bella. That is the Major."

I whimpered again and he dragged me towards my room as the family continued to talk. "Should we let him take her?" I heard Bella ask.

"Believe me, he won't hurt her. He'll just talk…or pace."

"Why?"

"Protecting a mate...and showing who is dominate in the relationship." Peter informed her and I tried to block it out but I knew he was telling the truth. Now it would only be a matter of time before Major recognized me as his mate, he was in control now so he knew who I was.

"I didn't think they were…together."

"They aren't. Not yet. They will be, believe me." Peter said before running out with Char.

I growled low in my throat but Major's growl back shut me up again. I whimpered when we walked into the room and he closed the door, locking it behind him. He pushed me onto the bed and paced in front of the dresser, not letting me out of his sight. I sat still on the bed, like a statue and just continued to watch Jasper walk. His body was tense and venom was dripping from his mouth. I knew that if I even moved and inch, Major would be on me in a half a heartbeat, marking me and claiming. I wasn't fully accepting of it yet even if I craved it.

I knew this would cause more problems than solutions in the future.
