Chapter 6
Edward POV
"She's gone. She's really gone." I looked onto the scene of the burned Ford truck. Two EMT's were covering a burned body with a blanket and rolling in to the back of the ambulance. Most of the town was at the scene looking on to see "Bella's" death bed.
Only the vampires in the crowd could connect the dots. Jasper had disappeared and Bella had mysteriously died. They had run away to London, or Jasper had killed her. I shuddered at the thought. I tried to forget when I turned on my heel and walked back to my Volvo about a quarter mile down the road.
I got in the car and Esme turned to me with motherly concern etched into her face. "What happened?" she asked quietly as I drove down the road back to the house.
"I'm not sure exactly how Jasper did it but, I think flipped her truck over and crushed it then set it on fire. He knocked over a few trees too to make to look believable. He did a great job." I muttered at the end.
"Oh, sweetie." She said reaching over to me and stroking my arm as I drove. "Bella's OK, she and Jasper are probably just in some hotel in London"
Esme meant well but she didn't help. I would be distraught if I didn't know Bella was alright. We pulled into the driveway and I was out of the car and to the staircase up to my room in less than a second. I was getting the next flight I could to London. I was going to find Bella.
I finished packing and grabbed my tickets from the printer and sprinted down the stairs. Rosalie and Esme looked up from their activities when they saw me and frowned.
"I have to do this." I explained. Esme sighed and stood up from the couch. She hugged me; then pulled away and straightened my collar.
"Don't do anything to hurt Bella…or Jasper." She put on as an afterthought. "I see all of you as my children, I don't want anyone getting hurt."
"I know Esme. I'll be home with Bella soon." I whispered.
I know with that quote I was hoping too much that Bella would want to come home with e. But a guy could hope that love of his life still wanted him right?
Bella POV
Jasper was leading me down a hallway with my eyes covered. His cold hands were pressed firmly against my eyes, hard enough where I couldn't even open them.
"Can I look now?" I whined.
He chuckled and pressed his lips against my ear. "Just wait a second love."
I sighed and continued to walk forward. Jasper suddenly stopped me in front of a wall I think. He sifted his hands so his right palm was covering my eyes while he was fumbling with something on his left. There was a sharp click and he was leading me into another room.
"You ready?" He called.
"Duh! I've been ready since I got off the plane."
Jasper chuckled. "Open." He said simultaneously pulling his hand away from my face.
I opened my eyes to see a giant apartment before me. It was beautiful. There was a giant, tinted window on the back wall similar to the Cullen house. The living room was right next to the window. It had a large light blue couch with white and blue throw pillows on it. The furniture was stained white making the room more open and bright. In the next room over was a state-of-the-art kitchen with every appliance a chef could need to make a gourmet meal. Connected to the kitchen was a large dining room with a large mahogany dining table with matching chairs in the center. In the back right corner of the house was a set of winding stairs, it would be hell trying to walk down those.
"What do you think?" Jasper asked.
"It's beautiful. I love it." I smiled.
"Come on I'll show you the upstairs."
I was about to start walking towards the stairs but Jasper picked me up and threw me over his shoulder; sprinting up the stairs.
"Are you going to do that often?" I giggled.
"Maybe." Jasper smiled.
Jasper grabbed my hand and leads me down a long hallway. He stopped at each door and gave a brief description of each room. When we got to the end of the hall he let go of my hand and open two large French doors. The room had yellow and grey color scheme. It was bright but organized. It was perfect.
"Oh, Jasper!" I said turning around to face Jasper. "I love it all. It's beautiful."
"We can be here forever Bella. Just me and you." He looked into my eyes and smiled at me.
I wrapped my arms around my neck and pulling him closer. I bit my lip and leaned in to kiss Jasper. He kissed me back with the same fiery passion as before. He pulled me even closer to his chest and lifted me up. I wrapped my arms around his waist and felt my body conform to his. Jasper walked us into the bed room and laid me down on the bed. He kissed me softly and pulled away from me softly.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked concern thick in his voice.
I bit my lip and smiled. "I want you so badly."
"I'll go slow at first."
"No, I want to go fast, I'll tell you if it hurts."
"OK love. You ready?"
"I've been ready since I was born."
A/N: First off, I would like to thank everyone that has been following my story so far. I didn't think it was going to get this big but I've thousands of views that I never expected to get. Second, the next chapter is going to be a bit "lemony". I'm not sure how smutty I'm going to make it but if you're really not into it just skip over the chapter you won't miss anything. I'll put a summary of the chapter in the next one so you can see what you missed. So that's all I have to say. Thank you all for reading and I'll be updating VERY soon.
