5. Terrify me

(Jasper's PoV)

Bella drove and didn't talk. She was probably thinking what there was going to happen in few hours.

I send her calming wave by means of my power. She smiled faintly when she realized that. Although she wasn't only one who was nervous in that car.

I was able to feel the same nervousness from her direction. She was fast asleep but yet I could feel something strong in her mind. Panic, that's what it was. I understood why she felt like that; she was about to meet her father. It must be hard to live all childhood without father and then without a warning you would meet him and his family. It was quite of a sudden, I have to admit.

I decided to talk with Bella all this time. I would try to make her not to think about what was coming.

"So, how are Charlie and Renee nowadays?" I said and tried to keep our conversation up.

"Charlie remarried few years after you had… left. He has now a twelve year-old son named Adam" she told.

"What are they like? The son and his new wife, I mean" I asked and the answer wasn't the kind of answer I thought she would have.

"Actually I have never talked to them. It's been eighteen years since I last saw Charlie. He's thought all this time that I've been traveling all across Europe and Asia. The truth is I never left Washington" she sighed "He has no idea I even have a daughter."

I understood why it was impossible for Charlie to see her anymore; how weird it would've been to meet your own daughter and notice that she looks exactly the same than what she looked like for almost two decades ago. There were people who lost their mind for less. Somehow I felt sorry for Charlie. He had wanted to be a pert of her life and for awhile it had really been like that. Then she had left and never got back.

And all this was our fault, mostly Edward's. It was his decision and yet I hadn't realized completely why he did it. He loved Bella. Maybe that was the reason why he had left her in first place.

"What about Renee?" I asked and noticed how she tightened her grip in steering wheel. She kept her eyes on road and was concentrating on driving.

"I don't know. It's been a long time since I last saw her" the way she spoke about her mother made her sound cold or callous. What was the reason for all that? I remembered how well they'd got along with each other – it was better than usual.

I started to feel the anger getting to grow inside her and decided to leave it. I tried to discover a new topic.

Then I knew it.

"By the way. Are you just like a regular vampire or do you have something gift?" that was something I had been wondering ever since I had met her tonight.

"I have a gift" she said "I'm sort of able to sense in my mind where a certain person is. I call it as my sixth sense, if you know what I mean."

Of course I knew what she meant. Alice and Edward had something what you could call like that. I couldn't count myself in that group though I had the gift; it wasn't the same as they did. I could influence on people emotions, but I wouldn't say it was a sixth sense. It was more like a gift or a talent.

"If you can sense where someone at the moment is" I started hesitantly "then why didn't it work with us?"

"Actually I never tried to look for you" she admitted in a voice no louder than a whisper "He made it clear; he said it was useless to try to get back to you or to find out where you lived."

What Bella said made me think about how much damage we had caused her by leaving. Edward thought it was the right thing to do, that everything would be fine then. It turned out it was probably the biggest mistake he had ever done.

"Elizabeth is the only one I have ever tried my gift on and it had worked so far. Even though I have to focus hard on what I'm doing. I don't know how it works with someone else" she said.

When we came to Forks I started to give directions for her. It had been a long time since she had to drive here and besides it was dark also; it was 2 am. Finally we got there. She turned the engine off.

"Elizabeth, wake up" Bella said quietly "We are now here."

She opened her eyes and let her eyes wander around. I opened the door and got out of the car.

"I go and look if there's someone inside" I told them. There were no lights and the house seemed empty. When I went to hallway I found a note. I recognized Alice's beautiful writing immediately.

Dear Jasper,

We are hunting at the moment. Don't worry, we'll be back before the dawn.

Love, Alice.

They were hunting. How long had they been there by now?

Suddenly I heard a scream outside the house. I ran there as fast as I could and saw Bella – she had shocked expression on her face.

"Where's Elizabeth?" I asked being afraid of the worst.

"He… he took her" she whispered her voice shaking.

"Who took her?"

"Christopher. He took my daughter" she said and startled when she mentioned that name.

Who was this Christopher? How did she know him? I don't remember of hearing that name before.

"Don't worry. I know what to do" I said taking my phone. I dialed the number and called to the only person who I thought could help now.

"Yes?" he answered after few seconds.

"Carlisle, it's me, Jasper" the words flew out of my mouth "I'm sorry I'm calling you like thin but I must ask you to return immediately" and added "All of you"

"Jasper, what happened?" he asked his voice full of anxiety.

"I don't have time to explain. Just get here as fast as you can. It's an emergency."

After that I hung up and started to calm her down.

"Don't worry, Bella. They're on their way."

I asked her to go inside – first I had to make sure she was settled down a little. She said she was going to be in kitchen. I send her regularly some calming waves and I felt how she was starting to feel slightly better.

After half an hour ago from my call I heard two cars approaching the house. Soon I saw lights flashing and then the cars stopped. Carlisle, Esme and Alice were on the first car. Behind them there was another car. Rosalie, Emmett and Edward stepped out of it.

It seemed that Carlisle had taken seriously my phone call. He had let Edward drive the other car – he was the one who drove the fastest.

"Jasper, tell us what happened" Carlisle asked and the other gathered around us.

Alice stood quietly and gazed at me expectantly.

"You didn't see it?" I asked in disbelief. Normally she was the one who saw things before they happened; now she was just as ignorant as the others.

"I saw nothing" Alice admitted and I could hear her voice little irritated about it.

"I guess I'd better to show you where it all started" I said and gestured them to follow me inside the house.

I walked to the kitchen and waited until everyone got in. Edward was the last one to step inside. He glanced over the room to have a look at what the others were looking for. He froze abruptly who there was. They looked at each others in full silence.

"Bella" Edward gasped "What's going on?"

A/N: I made some changes to this chapter because I noticed how predictable the old version was. I hope you like this one.

Please, review! I like when you do that.
