Jasper:
"Any change?" I glance at Emmett briefly.
"No."
"Jazz, man she's been sitting up there for hours." No shit Sherlock is what I want to scream at him but I don't, I just keep watching Kiri. I've been sitting down here watching my mate, sit on the highest point of Cheaha Mountain and stare off into nowhere for three hours. I know it's been that long because I've counted every minute since my mate bolted from my arms, scaled the side of the mountain and check herself completely out of reality.
I tried to go after her but Edward stopped me. He said that her thoughts were all a jumble that she couldn't focus, everything was coming at her too fast. He said she just need some time to figure it all out. So I gave in and parked my ass on the fourth branch of the only damn tree in the area that gave me a clear view of my mate. That was three hours, five minutes and twenty seconds ago. Twenty one, twenty two.
"What's she listening to?"
"Comedown by Bush. Turned it on about an hour ago and she has the damn song on repeat."
"Well at least she chose a good song it could have been something stupid." I grunt I don't give a damn about the song that's playing, all I care about is Kiri.
"I don't wanna come back down from this cloud, it's taken me all this, all this time" I look at Emmett and growl lowly. "Sorry I like the song." He shuts up but only temporarily.
"What are you gonna do Jazz?" Ain't that the million dollar question, I wish I knew the answer. I take my eyes off Kiri, look at him and sigh.
"I don't know Em. Fighting the Volturi is gonna be hard but with Kiri we should be okay. It's this damn demon from hell that's going to be a problem. Why her Em, why of all the fucking women on this planet did he have to choose mine?"
"You're just lucky I guess." I swat him on the arm.
"Not funny, ya asshole." He laughs.
"Sorry was just trying to lighten the mood. Did it work?"
"I know and no" He shrugs.
"I tried." He sighs and I look back up at Kiri, dammit I wish she'd come down and talk to me.
"Jazz what if this demon dude wants Kiri because she's the last of her kind?" I turn my head slowly to look at him. Emmett really isn't as thickheaded as he acts.
"Emmett ya really do use that brain for something other than bullshit." He grins.
"Sometimes, but no for real what if him wanting her has nothing to do with her but what she is? You said when he was here before he fell for a female werecat, so I figure that's what he's here for and she is the only one so tag she's it." I be dammed that did make sense.
"That could be true, but I still have no idea what to do about it. It's not like I can make Kiri stop being a werecat." He shrugs.
"What if you made her one of us?" I can't say I haven't thought about it but I'm not sure how our venom would affect her, it could kill her and I couldn't live if that were to happen. But on the other hand I don't have much of a future if this demon somehow gets what he wants.
"I don't know Em, I'm not sure what our venom would do to her." He pats my shoulder and sighs.
"Well no matter what happens I got your back and I'll do my damnedest to help you keep her safe."
"You sure about that? This ain't gonna be easy."
"Come on Jazz you know I care for Kiri, she's part of us now. Plus I've never seen you smile so much before, you're happy and I'm not going to let anybody take that from you" I give him a half smile.
"Thanks Em."
"You're welcome and Jazz?"
"Yeah?"
"You can count on the rest of the family too, believe it or not they've all grown very attached to Kiri and will fight to protect her."
"He's right Jasper, we're all with you." Em and I look down to see Edward looking up at us.
"You sure about that? I didn't even here you comin', how am I suppose to fight against demons and shit if I can't even hear my own brother walkin up on me!? Em laughs.
"Don't feel bad I didn't hear him either." Edward grins.
"I'm sure Jasper, you stood by Bella and I when the Volturi cam for Ness and now we'll stand by you."
"Thanks Edward."
"Okay enough with the sappy stuff, lets figure out how to get Kiri off that damn mountain." Em grumbles.
"I don't think we're going to have to worry about that." Edward smirks up at us.
"Why?" Em asks. Edward points up at Kiri. I look up at her and she's still sitting in the same spot, she hasn't moved.
"Edward what the fuck..." He puts a finger to his lips.
"Watch." Em and I focus on Kiri and I hear Edward count out loud.
"Three, two, one." On one Kiri jumps to her feet. Screams to the top of her lungs and does a swan dive off the top of the fucking mountain. I freeze, my brain can't seem to register what my eyes are seeing. Em yells Kiri's name from somewhere beside me and it's enough to snap me out of my stupor. I roar to the heavens and fly out of the tree toward the back yard. I arrive just in time to see Kiri gracefully land on her feet. She stares at me for a second, then starts to walk over to were Em and I are standing. She walks up to me leans up and kisses me on the cheek.
"Lets go find out what my gift is. I'm ready to kick some vampire and demon ass. There's only one man in the world or underworld that can have me and that's you. That is if your still willing to be with me.." I jerk her to me.
"There's not a vampire or demon that exists that can keep me from you." She smiles brightly and hugs me tight.
"That's good to know cowboy." Once she pulls away from me she walks back around to the front yard and straight over to Edward. She stands staring at him for a moment, then reaches out and runs her hand softly over his jaw, then gives it a rather hard pat. If he'd been human she probably would have broken something that's how hard she pats him.
"Edward Cullen you have a big mouth, maybe I didn't want Jasper to know I was gonna jump off the mountain! Did ya ever think of that!?" He shakes his head.
"No, seeing how he was watching you the entire time."
"I swear ifin ya don't stay out of my head, I'm gonna have to start chargin' ya to see the show." He grins.
"Kiri, my darling little sister I will pay any price you set."
"Yer nuts and who ya callin' little sister?" He wraps his arm around her shoulders and pinches her cheek.
"You, that's who. I'm older than you so that makes you the little sister." She pushes him away playfully and rubs her cheek.
"Dude I'm eighty five years old and was twenty one when I quite aging. You don't look a day over sixteen. So who's the older one now!" He laughs.
"Sorry, but I'm still older. I was turned in nineteen eighteen and the age of seventeen." Kiri's eyes go wide.
"You're a hundred and fifteen years old!?" Edward rolls his eyes. Em and I just laugh.
"Yes Ms. Eighty five years old. You're no spring chicken yourself!" She giggles.
"True dat, but at least I look the age my ID says I am, do you?" Em and I bust out laughing and Em snickers out.
"She's got you there man!" Edward growls at Emmett.
"Oh, shut up you big oaf!" Kiri reaches out and smacks him up side the head.
"Be nice Edward or I'll tell your wife you told me she's lousy in the sack." My mouth drops open, surely she wouldn't do something like that, would she?
"Don't you dare!?" He snaps at her causing me to growl lowly. I had a feeling she was just playing but I couldn't be sure my charming mate seems to have the ability to screw with my gift. Doesn't matter though either way he wasn't about to snap at her. Kiri smirks.
"I wasn't going to but now I have to."
"Why!?" He whines. She shrugs.
"Because big brother, you told me not to." She turns and skips off toward the front door. Edward growls lowly and runs off after her. Emmett and I look at each other.
"She's not really gonna go tell Bella that is she?" I grin.
"I don't know Em but I'm gonna watch and find out."
"Race ya." He takes off, I chuckle then run after him. He and I reach the front door together, we laugh and go on in. Just as we enter a low hiss comes from the living room. Emmett grins at me.
"They're in the living room." I smirk.
"Yeah Em I kinda figured that out, thanks."
"Anytime partner." I huff and walk down the hall toward the living room, he chuckles and follows me. I didn't know what to expect when I walked threw that archway but it sure has hell wasn't Bella and Kiri sitting on the sofa huddle together,whispering so only that they can hear and Edward pacing around the room like a mad vampire.
"They look as thick as thieves those two." Em whispers. I beam with pride, I couldn't be happier that Kiri was loved by the family. It gives me hope that everything is going to turn out okay.
Edward stops his pacing and growls at me.
"Jasper can you please do something with your mate!?" I grin at him. Why? She's not telling her the truth is she? He hisses at me.
"Of course not, I'm worried because Bella might actually believe her!" I bust out laughing again, this shit is just too funny I love watching him sweat. After a few more minutes. Bella stands and walks over to Edward.
"You and I need to talk." He nods and follows her out. Edward turns back to glare at Kiri, she grins and waves. After they'd left she stands and walks over to me and wraps her arms around my waist. I wrap my arms around her and look down at her.
"He's gonna thank me later." I cock a brow.
"Oh, really?" She nods.
"Yep, lets just say Bella is fixin to play her part very well." Em's booming laugh fills the room and he reaches out and ruffles her hair.
"Hey think you can go tell Rose some fucked up shit, too!?" She swats his hand away.
"You fuck with my hair again. You won't have to worry about getting laid, capiche."
"Touchy." She rolls her eyes and turns her attention back to me.
"So when we leaving?"
"The cloud cover seems to be holdin'. I'll go have Carlisle call and get the jet ready. We can leave here within the hour, if you want." She nods.
"Sounds good but I need to call Lynn and let her know I'm leaving or she'll go apeshit. Then I have to call my boss and let him know."
"Alright, you go do that and I'll go talk to Carlisle" She leans up on her tip toes and kisses me gently then pulls away and heads back down the hall and out the door. I turn to leave the living room and Em stops me.
"Hey Jazz?"
"Yeah?"
"I was wondering if it would be alright for Me, Rosy, Peter and Charlotte to tag along?"
"Have you asked them if they want to go?" He nods.
"Yeah I brought it up to them before I came out to see you. We all agree with everything that's happening you need someone to watch your back." I think about it for a second, it really wouldn't hurt to have someone with us that I know I can trust.
"I don't see the problem with it, besides I think Kiri would love it if all of you came. She seems to have taken to all of you." He grins.
"Jealous?" I smirk.
"Hardly." He laughs.
"Well I'm gonna go find the others and tell them to start packing. How long we going by the way?"
"Just a couple of days, we need to be back before Saturday."
"Oh yeah. The pack is coming. I almost forgot." I roll my eyes and shake my head in wonder.
"Em you're the only vampire I know that forgets shit!"
"Hey I said almost." I slug him on the arm, he grins then disappears from my sight.
"Carlisle?" He appears beside me.
"I've already made the call, the jet will be waiting for you when you get there."
"Thank y..." The engine of the Camaro roars to life, just as Alice comes running into the living room.
"Jasper you have to stop her! She's going to kill him!" Like a shot I'm out the door, but I'm still not quick enough. The Camaro disappears in a cloud of smoke and dirt as Kiri burns rubber out of the driveway. I curse loudly and dart off after her. I race along side her as she drives like a maniac toward the main road. I try waving at her to stop but she ignores me and speeds up. Dammit! I've got to get ahead of her and make her stop. I do mange to pull ahead of her, but just as I'm about to run out to stand in the road, another car comes around the little curve stopping me. Which gives her chance to zoom passed me. Fuck! I race off after her again, but I'm too late just as I catch up to the car, Kiri fishtails it out onto the main road and floors it. Hauling ass in the direction of Roanoke.
"Get in!" Alice yells as she comes flying up beside me in the Porsche. I blur to the passenger door and jump in. She stomps the gas and speeds off in the direction Kiri had gone.
"Dammit!" She growls, when we top a hill and come up behind an eighteen wheeler doing about sixty. I know this cause Alice had to slow down to about fifty-six, to keep from hitting it. She swerves to go around it but there's another car coming from the opposite direction and she has to quickly swerve back into our lane. She lets out a few choice words and slams her hands against the wheel. Okay if I wasn't scared before I am now.
"Alice, what the fuck is goin' on!?" She glances may way.
"Hold on." She whips out into the other lane and coming at us is another fucking eighteen wheeler it's less then a quarter of a mile away and it's coming at us fast.
"Alice's if you get me killed I swear I'm gonna kill you!" She snorts and pushes the accelerator to the mat. We whip in front of the truck we were passing just seconds before the other fucking truck passes by. 'Fuck I'm glad I'm already dead!'
"Are you gonna tell me what the fuck is goin' on or do I have to fucking guess!?" A few long seconds pass before she glances my way and sighs.
"David raped Lynn."
"And Kiri's gonna take matters into her on hands." It wasn't a question.
"If we don't stop her she is going to kill him."
"Fuck!" Dammit this is all we need, fuck don't I have enough to worry about!
"Where's the bastard at now?"
"Uncle Brewskies and Jasper."
"What!?"
"There's other people there."
"Drive faster." I say out through gritted teeth.
"I'm going as fast as I can. Just keep watch for her car we can't be that far behind." I nod and start watching the road ahead of us hoping to get a glimpse of the Camroe. After about ten minutes we mange to catch up enough to see her car off in the distance and I hold my breath as we watch her whip around two cars at once almost colliding with another on coming car.
"Fuck, she's gonna get herself killed trying to get to him!" I bellow out.
"Stay calm she has reflexes like us remember, she'll be okay and we'll catch her before she can get to him."
"Are you sure?" She stares out at the road and says no more. My dead heart dropped, if she wasn't sure then there may be a good chance Kiri succeeds. I can still see Kiri's car but it doesn't seem like we're getting any closer. I look over to Alice begging her to somehow make this fucking car go faster, she smiles over at me
"Don't worry Jazz we'll catch her, look." She nods her head toward the road. I look back at it and sure enough we're gaining on her. Before long we're directly behind her. Alice starts riding her ass and blowing the horn, but she doesn't stop.
"Call her cell, maybe she'll answer it." I nod and quickly dig my phone from my pocket. I bring up her number and press send. It rings and I watch her reach over into the passenger seat and grab her phone.
"There's nothing you can do to stop me, I'm gonna put that miserable sonofabitch out of his misery!" She screams then hangs up and tosses the phone into the back seat.
"Dammit,she hung up on me!" I roar out. Alice shakes her head but doesn't comment. We continue to trail closely behind Kiri, she tries her best to loose us by weaving dangerously in and out of traffic running red lights and stops sighs, but Alice manages to keep up with her every move. Finally after what is the longest thirty minutes of my life, Kiri slams on her breaks and drifts into the parking lot of Uncle Brewskies and hauls ass to the back of the building. Alice is right there with her. Once she hits the back parking area she starts doing donuts kicking up a shit load of dirt and rocks.
"What the hell is she doing?" Alice asks.
"Creatin' a diversion." The area becomes blanketed in a thick cloud of dirt, cutting my visibility down to damn near nothing. I roll down the window letting the thick cloud in, good thing we don't need to breathe.
"Jasper what are you doing!? You're ruining the inside of my car!" I hush her and listen, for once I'm happy to be a vampire. Having super hearing can come in handy. The Camroe comes to a stop and the driver door flies open, as soon as I hear her step out of the car I jump out of the window and run after her.
I catch her just as she opens the back door to the club, I wrap my arms around her and pull her away, back out toward the cars. She starts kicking and clawing at my arms and hands. All the while hissing and screaming at me to let her go.
Alice is waiting with the drive door to the Camroe open, I get Kiri to it and forcefully, yet gently shove her in. But before I can get in she crawls out the other side and darts back toward the building. This time she phases as she leaps up onto the back deck that leads to the back door. 'Fuck me! I'll never catch her!
I close my eyes and wait for the screams of the poor fool that dared hurt Kiri's best friend and the screams of the innocent people that got caught up in this madness, but they never come. I open my eyes to find out why the screams never started and am surprised to see Peter, Em and Char standing between Kiri and the door. Kiri roars and swipes at the three of them, they dodge her blow without leaving the door unprotected. She hisses, then transforms back to human. And of course she's buck ass naked.
This causes me to let a low snarl and rush to stand in between them and her. No one was suppose to see her but me! I look at Peter, Em and Char and growl they quickly avert their attention else ware, then I turn to Kiri with a growl.
"Kiri, that's enough!" She snarls at me
"It's not enough until that cock sucker is dead! Now get the hell out of my way!" I shake my head.
"No." She glares heatedly at me.
"Then I'm gonna have to make you." That did it, she may be my mate and sexy as all hell. Those lushes titties, that beautiful hairless pussy, that's smiling at me. Fuck, now I'm hard as a rock and pissed off! Where was I oh yeah, I'll be dammed if she's going to threaten me! Something within me snaps and a low dark chuckle parts my lips.
"Ya can try darlin' but I promise ya, yer not gonna like the out come."
"He deserves to die for what he's done!"
"And he will but not here and not now! There's other people in there, Kiri! Do you have any fuckin' idea what will happen if you go running in there as a damn tiger and murder that fucker in front of those people!?"
"SO! I'll kill them too, there just his looser friends!"
"Now you're a murder?" She stares at me gritting her teeth and clenching her hands tightly together, trying her best not to loose it. Minutes passed, minutes we really didn't have. I'm sure by now the folks inside has heard the commotion and probably called the cops.
"Darlin' I hate to rush you but I'm sure the cops are on the way and we only have a few minutes before they arrive. Are you gonna calm down and leave with me or am I gonna have to make you?"
"You wouldn't dare!" She growls.
"Try me."
"Fine but I'm not going to let this go! One way or another I am going to kill that bastard!" She turns and stomps back over to the Camroe, not once seeming to care that her ass was on full display. She crawls in the passenger seat and looks back at me. I didn't need to tell the others to get the hell out of here, they were speeding away as I walked to Kiri's car. I climb in and immediately take off my shirt and pass it over to her.
"Put this on." She takes it from me. And I start the car.
"Why? Don't like what you see?" She snaps. 'Motherfucker!' I reach over and wrap my hand around her throat and bring her face to mine and shove my tongue down her throat. I kiss her for only a moment then pull away.
"No, darlin' I love what I see, I just don't want anyone else to see it!" I throw the car in drive and speed out of there. We pass the cops a minute later, we'd made it just in time. I glance over at her.
"Woman I swear if you ever pull this shit again, I'll bend you over my knee and spank yer ass!" She giggles and grins at me.
"Promise?" I almost drive off the road at her statement. This woman is gonna be the death of me, but dammit what away to go!
"Jasper I need to go by my house, I need to grab something real quick." Shit, that's not a good idea, we never cleaned up the blood
"Darlin' I don't think you should go back in that house right now."
"How about you go in and get it for me?" I sigh and she grins. Dammit I knew this woman had me wrapped tighter than a rubber band and now she knew it too! We arrive at her house and I shut off the engine. She goes to get out but I stop her.
"Hold it, just where do you think yer going? I told ya you shouldn't go in there right now. What part of that didn't ya understand?" She smirks.
"I wasn't going in the house I was going behind the house." I shake my head.
"For what?" She laughs.
"Don't worry about it, just go look in the top dresser drawer in my bed room and grab the bag you see laying on top and if you don't mind some panties and shorts."
"Fine, but where do I find the panties and shorts?"
"My panties are in the drawer you're getting the bag from. My shorts are in the bottom drawer." I huff and climb out of the car. She goes around back and I go inside. The blood of the wolf was now dry and made a crunching sound under my feet as I walked back to her room. It made me kinda sick to hear it, knowing how much my mate loved that wolf. Once in her room I hurriedly gather the things she asked for and rush back outside. Kiri comes from around the back just as I make it to the car, she's carrying a large black gym bag and the damn thing looks packed tight.
She walks over to me drops the bag to the ground and grabs her clothes off the hood were I had laid them. She pulls them on, then picks the bag back up.
"Can you pop the trunk?" I nod and pull the key from my pocket and hit the clicker. The trunk opens with a pop and she walks around and throws the gym bag in and slams it back shut.
"Now toss me that sack." I throw the sack to her, she catches it with ease, then climbs in the car. I stand still watching her a moment absolutely in awe of this beautiful creature. How she could act like she didn't lead me and Alice on a high speed chase, then damn near expose herself trying to kill a man is amazing. If it had been me I'd been somewhere feeling sorry for myself and kicking my own ass, but not her she just acts likes it's a normal day.
The horn honks making me jump slightly. I gaze into the car, with a grin Kiri motions for me to get in. I grin back and happily oblige. Back on the main road she turns to me.
"I need to stop by Lynn's."
"Okay darlin' just tell me how to get there."
"Just go straight, I'll tell you when to turn."
"Okay." I start to glance at the sack, she notices and giggles.
"Bet your wondering what's in here?"
"A little." She giggles again, then opens the sack and pulls out a sandwich bag full of pot. My eyes go wide. "Are you fuckin' serious?"
"What?"
"Kiri I'm pretty sure this state hasn't made that legal yet. If we get caught it would cause a shit storm!"
"Oh hush and relax. I'm not a dummy and we're not gonna get caught." She opens the glove compartment and reaches in does something I can't see then a little compartment door opens on the side of the glove compartment and she places the bag inside. She closes the little door and the glove compartment, then grins at me.
"Now no one but you and I will know that's there."
"Don't be so sure sugar, us vampires do have a very keen since of smell. I bet the others have no problem finding it." She smiles.
"I'll take that bet. Winner gets anything he or she wants, deal?" She grins wickedly and holds her hand out to me. I smirk.
"Anything?"
"Yep." I take her hand and bring it to my lips. I place an open mouth kiss on the top of her hand, then glace up at her and grin.
"It's a bet darlin' and I can't wait til I can get my prize." She shutters just a bit and lets out the softest of moans and it's music to my ears. It's the sweetest sound I'd ever heard and I couldn't fucking wait to hear more! My grin grows wider and she huffs.
"Ya shouldn't be so confident cowboy, it sucks a lot worse when you loose."
"I'm not gonna loose sugar."
"We'll see, turn up there at that house." She points a little further up the road to an old wooden house with a silver tin roof. Once we reach Lynn's place she tells me to stay in the car and goes inside. Fifteen minutes pass before Kiri comes storming out of the house jumps in the car looks at me and growls for me to get this fucking car moving before she goes back for David.
"How's Ms. Lynn?" I know stupid question but I really didn't know what else to say.
"Come hell or high water I'm gonna pull that bastards heart out and crush it in my hands! And this time you won't be able to stop me!"
"Let's get through the Volturi first, then I'll arrange the time and place for you to rip his heart out and crush it in yer hands, as ya so delicately put it."
"You'd do that for me?"
"Darlin I'll do anything for you all you have to do is ask."
"Mmm, that's good to know." That's the last thing she says to me. When we get back home, she doesn't wait for me to stop the car she jumps out and runs inside. By the time I get the car parked and climb out she has everyone and I mean everyone even Jake following her out to the car. I lean against the driver door and watch as she comes skipping up to the car jumps up on the hood, turns gives me smile and while looking at me says.
"Jazz and I have a bet going winner gets whatever he or she wants from the other."
"What's that got to do with us?" Jake asks. Kiri winks at me then turns to face the others.
"I'm glad you asked Jake. You see I've hid something in this car that only he and I know about. He bets that one of you can find it just by smell and I bet you can't." Emmett comes bounding up to her.
"Me first." He turns to me. "Don't worry Jazz I got this in the bag!" I nod, knowing that even if he didn't find the weed one of the others would. I'm banking on Edward. Emmett starts to open the driver door but Kiri stops him.
"Before you start the hunt there's a rule you need to know."
"What?"
"You have two minutes. Go."
One by one they tried and one by one they failed, each of them saying that they couldn't smell anything that suggested there was something hidden in the car.
Edward is the last to try and if he doesn't find it, I have a feeling I'm not going to like what my mate wants in payment. He climbs in the passenger seat, sits looking around the car and breathing in deeply. When his time is up he crawls out of the car.
"Sorry Jazz I don't smell anything." I sigh and cut my eyes her way. She gives me a victorious smile, then hops off the hood. She walks over to me smile still on her face.
"I believe I win cowboy." I smirk.
"And what would the lady like in payment?" She taps her chin.
"Not sure, I need to think on it a bit." I reach out and pull her flush against me.
"Don't think on it too long or ya forfeit and I get to claim the prize." I turn her toward the house and smack her ass.
"Now go pack we have a plane to catch." I hear he mutter something about arrogant dumb ass vampires, then stomp off toward the house. The other girls giggle and run off after Kiri their mates follow them.
But Carlsile and Esme remain where they are and wait for the front door to close before they both turn to face me.
"Jasper, Alice explained to us what happened and we're concerned about Kiri." Carlisle mutters out. I tense.
"Why?"
"Let me start off by saying that we consider Kiri part of this family and we care for her deeply but.."
"But what Carlsile?"
"She's a little wild." I hang my head and sigh.
"Lets face it Carlisle she's very wild and that's one of the things I love about her. And I don't have any intention on trying to tame her!" Esme walks over to me and cups my cheek softly.
"And we wouldn't want you to. Taming her would only kill her spirit, but talking to her and asking her to calm down just a little wouldn't hurt. It wouldn't be just for us but for her too." I raise my eyes to hers.
"Okay I'll talk to her." She smiles warmly at me turns takes Carlisle by the hand and they walk off back to the house. I don't follow. I couldn't just go up to Kiri now, hell she'd know somethings was up the moment I walked in and I'm not ready to have the talk Carlisle and Esme want me to have. Kiri's so unpredictable that in this stage of our relationship it might just blow up in my face. But I didn't want to be away from her either. So I choose option B, I run around to the side my room is located on and scale the tree that stands just outside the window and make myself comfortable on the limb that's located right in front of it. The window is open and Kiri is bent over at the foot of the bed rummaging through the biggest of the two suitcases.
I never in my wildest dreams would have believed this day would come. After Alice, I didn't believe I'd ever be in love again. I had loved her so much I didn't think I could love and care for somebody as much as I did her, but I was so very wrong. Kiri is more than I could have ever dreamed. She's sweet, kind, fun to be around, drop dead fucking gorgeous and she's absolutely fucking wild and I hate to admit but I love it.
Today was the most fun I'd had in years. But it also scares the hell out of me. She's so damn unpredictable, that I can't keep up. And it's not any fucking easier when I can't read her emotions. Sometimes I'm able to feel just a sensation but it goes just as quick as it comes and I'm left in the fucking dark again. Hell even Alice is having problems, sure she saw Kiri back all those months ago but since we've gotten here, her visions are coming to damn late.
Edwards gift is the only one that I know of that works on her. I haven't asked Nessie if she's tried using her gift on Kiri. Maybe I can ask her before we leave see what she has to say.
"Do you plan to sit in that tree all day or you gonna come in and pack a bag for our trip?" I shake my head and smile. I really do love this woman but damn she's a smart ass. I stand and motion for her to move back. She walks over to stand by her suitcase that's sitting by the door. With a wink I jump from the tree through the window and land perfectly on my feet. She rolls her eyes but smiles.
"Just pack yo.." Before she could even think of finishing that sentence, I'm standing in front of her with a brown leather pack over my shoulder and a smile.
"Showoff." I sling an arm around her shoulders pull her to me and kiss her. When I pull away she has that glassy eyed look I love so damn much.
"Only for you darlin'. Now get your little ass out that door there's a jet waiting on us and the pilot gets cranky when he has to wait." I grab her bag and usher her out the door. I really hope Eleazar can tell me what her gift is. If he can't then I have no choice than to bring it out of her so I can see it for myself. And she's not gonna be happy about that. Not one little fucking bit.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please remember to review and to be nice. Also remember tips and pointers are welcomed. Thank you!
