Chapter 5
(Bella's POV)
As I ran from the castle, I could feel the pull in my chest becoming rather painful. I stopped about 5 feet from the tree line and held my chest with my hands. I couldn't believe that even though I haven't even mated to Jasper yet I was feeling the effects of the full mating bond. I had heard the others tell me about mating bonds and father is the expert which only means that I can see some bonds, though I never told anyone. My bond to Jasper was as bright as the ones of my uncles and their mates. I stiffened when I felt the wind shift and a familiar scent was swept in front of my face.
I knew who it was and the only thing he wished was for me. I was rather glad that I had changed clothing because I would have hated ruining mothers dress in kicking James' ass across the court yard. I dropped to the ground when I felt him close enough. I smirked as I jumped backwards and landing in a crouched position. I could see that James was rather upset that he missed grabbing me the first go around. My bags were lying at the base of the tree that I had been reading at when Jasper came to keep me company. I narrowed my eyes as I watched as James circled me.
"You do know that I have a mate, right?" I told him as I kept my eyes on him. Sometimes I hated being a Dhampir. I placed my shield around me tightly as I kept myself ready for his attack.
James sneered. "You are my mate!" He tried to grab me but I was able to move out of the way. "No one can take you from me, least of all a Veggie!" He hissed as he disappeared from behind me.
I was hit in the back and sent flying forwards. I was able to flip around and land on my feet. I knew I would have a nice bruise on my back where he kicked me. Fucker didn't even wear shoes. Or take a bath by the looks of it. I could only wrinkle my nose in disgust. I watched as he lunged towards me and faked right then came to my left but I was ready and I slammed my shield towards him and sent him flying. I dashed off in the other direction. I ran into the woods and decided to place my shield tighter around me to cover my scent. I knew that I would need to leave a message for either Jasper or my father. I looked up and spotted the tree where I had been before.
Smirking I jumped up and used my nails to make slash marks. I wrote a message that was short and sweet. No one would know what it would mean but Jane. She and I made up our own little language. It helped me pass the time in school and let her have something to think about. Jane and I were rather close. More like sisters than her as my maid. I heard a rustling behind me, so I jumped down and ran towards the west. I knew that I was going away from the castle but I needed to out run James and whoever was helping him.
I was almost to the river where I could lose James and his helpers, because I could smell two other vampire scents other than his. I would not let him take me without a fight. The only reason I didn't rush him was because I knew he was waiting for me too. I looked behind me and saw nothing but that didn't help when I ran right into something and fell backwards. As I whipped my head around I caught a glimpse of red before I was thrown into oblivion. I could only pray that Jasper would find me… and soon. Even though he was with that slut I needed my mate.
That is, if he still wants me...
(Jane's POV)
I was standing by Master Marcus as we stood in the throne room with Carlisle, Jasper, Nikolas (A/N: James's Father), Alice, Edward, Aro, Caius and Demetri. My brother at the moment was out scowering the town for my mistress. I wished I could use my gift on the trackers father, because I knew he knew where his son was and would not say anything. At the moment Jasper was pacing, while Alice was going through a vision. Nikolas made an attempt to move so I pinned him to the ground with my gift. When I was tapped on the shoulder I pulled my gift back.
"Thank you, Jane." Aro nodded at me. I just nodded slightly at the point where I knew that he would see. He then turned his attention back to the ones gathered.
"It seems that Nikolas' son James has decided to take young Isabella for his mate." Jasper growled loudly at this accusation. Aro held up his hand. "I understand that Isabella had no mate before but it has come as a shocked to both houses in charge that Major Jasper Whitlock is indeed Isabella's mate." His eyes locked with Nikolas. "You have two seconds to find your son or pay the price. You know that plotting against one of the leaders will be cause for death. It is treason for even thinking about taking one of the prince or princesses from their castle."
Nikolas nodded and stepped forwards slightly. "I did know that my son cared deeply for Mistress Isabella however I had no knowledge of his plans to take her." His eyes were down and his head bowed. "If I had known, I would have spoken to my son immediately. I shall send for Laurent who is my son's servant." Nikolas clapped his hands and in came a black haired male. I snorted in amusement.
Didn't they ban slavery? I could hear the mind reader snickering silently.
"Do you know why you are here, Laurent?" Aro asked stepping down and moving in front of the black haired vampire.
Laurent shook his head but stayed silent. "Oh, I believe you do." Aro told him taking his hand without permission. Aro smiled as he released the man's hand.
"And I was right." Aro turned to the others. "From what I saw he knew that his master had fallen for Isabella and wishes for her to be his. When his master heard of the mating James knew that he must start the process before Jasper." Aro turned to a very pissed off Major. "What would you do Major?" Aro looked at him innocently however everyone in the room knew that it was an act.
The Major vanished only to reappear in front of Laurent. "Where is he taking my mate?" The Major hissed. I narrowed my eyes and pushed my gift to high as I dropped the dark haired vampire to the ground. The major turned and raised a brow.
"He would not answer." I told everyone with a shrug.
The Major smirked. "I could'a handled it, but thank you, ma'am." He tilted his head then turned his blackened eyes back to Laurent. "Now, tell me where my mate is, boy." He hissed as he griped the vampire by the throat.
"James has her just outside the city in an abandoned building." Laurent chocked out. "His sister is with him, Victoria."
I could only smirk as I watched the Major rip the guy's head off and rushed out the door with a roar. I shivered at its intensity. I could tell that he was rather fond of my Mistress already. I cut my eyes to Master Marcus and as soon as he nodded, Alec, myself and Demetri were out the throne room and hot on the Major's tail. We would find my Mistress no matter where. I could only hope that the Major arrived before we did because this is the last time James will ever get to Isabella. The last time she whooped his ass and wiped the floor with him.
(Bella's POV)
I came to when someone slapped me across the face. My eyes snapped open and I pushed my physical barrier out against whoever it was. I blinked my eyes and found as soon as they focused that I was in a small room with a bed in one corner with straps. I shivered at the thought. I looked over and found James leaning against the wall with Victoria on the ground beside him rubbing the back of her head. I smirked at the thought of doing some brain damage. Pity she was a vampire.
"I'm glad you're awake." James pushed off the wall and came over and knelt down in front of me. "Sorry about Vicki." He brushed his hands against my shield. I just snarled.
I had constricted the barrier to about a four foot circle. The smaller the barrier the longer I could hold it. My chest was also killing me and I couldn't see any blood anywhere around. "Where are we?" I snapped at him.
James laughed. "In my house, but that is all you get. Either you drop your shield and let me take you or I wait and take you anyway." His eyes were black with lust. I snapped and hissed at him. I would not let him think that he would ever have me.
"You're sick." I told him. "Wait until my father comes for you! Not to mention that I found my mate in the God of War."
Victoria smirked as she jumped up and came over. "You mean the delicious Major Jasper Whitlock? Hell girl, even I have had him. He is one hell of a lover though. You're a lucky girl." I could tell that she was trying to bait me into dropping my shield and lunging. "But then again, just because he is mated to you doesn't mean that he will remain faithful. Jasper does have quite the appetite for anything on two legs and a pussy."
I just stayed still and snarled at her. I would not lunge at her or do anything that would jeopardize me in any way. If I knew Demetri he would be hunting down James and Victoria shortly and Jane will be with him. I don't know if Jasper will come for me but I know that I have many of loyal companions.
"You are going to regret doing this to me when Jane and Demetri get here." I hissed keeping still. "My Father and my mate will take you apart and burn your pieces over a period of a month."
James laughed as he disappeared then reappeared with a young girl. My eyes widen they wouldn't do something like that would they. Victoria smirked as she walked over to them and grabbed the young girl by her neck. I couldn't tear my eyes off of her as she bent the girls head back and bared her throat. Before I could say anything Victoria bit into her neck and drained her in front of me. James was laughing through the whole thing. I had finally realized that James was completely crazy. Never before had I seen someone like this. Was this what the Major was like? Would he do this when we were together? If so, how could I stand to be around someone like this?
"Every minute you keep your shield up, I will drain another kid in front of you." James told me. "You are not going to eat or leave this place until you have been broken like you need to be."
I snarled as I kept my shield up. "I will never be yours." I hissed as I prayed that Jasper was close. I felt the pain in my chest lessen which could only mean he was close by. I smirked because I knew it was only a short time before James and Victoria received their just desserts.
A/N: Another chapter down! What does everyone think?! Any ideas what will happen next?! Will Jasper get to her on time to save her or will James get what he wants? What will Jasper do to attempt to save her?! Review!

JackSkellington'sBride:OMG it makes sense now I feel horrible for my thoughts onbefore I jumped to conclusion and now I am laughing at myself. I really hate Tanya, Even though if I had this story which is way too awesome for me to write, I would make Peter punch the sh*t outta Jasper...Why James why now How did he even get there?!
Thanks so much! I'm glad that you like it! As for James getting there, he got there because all of the coven's around the world were arriving for the games. So him and Victoria and Laurent had gotten there earlier and James had seen Bella leave. If you have any more questions, post them in my review! Enjoy!
