I am so unbelievably sorry! I have no excuse! It was a combination between school and other stories and writers block. This story will be done, I always planned on finishing it! I really did, I hate to leave anything up in the air which I did. Thanks to all the people who put up with my crap and Pm'ed me, and reviewed, telling me in a polite way to hurry my ass up! SORRRRRY!
Here's a recap. Rosalie meet Emmett in a bar parking lot after the incident with Felix. Though soon after she left some black called pulled into where she left Emmett behind. Edward went to go meet up with someone, He claims everything went how it should have gone. Though was was in the car, and why did Jasper know about it. Why did he lie to Alice, what is he really going to do? What are Rosalie and Alice up to know that the boys are gone? You might find out some answers... go on read.
"Where are we going?" I asked Rosalie. She was silent as she drove, tapping her temple with her index finger repeatedly.
"We are going to piss of Jasper" She said frowning.
"W-What?" I sat up in my seat, pulling the seat belt tight across my chest in protest.
"This has gotten to far. He thinks that he can fix it all, fix everyone, fix us – but he can't" Rosalie took her cellphone out her bra to check the time.
"I...don't understand"
"He left because he had things to do, to protect us and you. When this is all done... he'll be so fucked up, he won't know what to do with himself" I looked at her, glaring.
"Jasper knows what he's doing! Yea, I mean h-he has to kill people, and make decisions that are good for him. I know that it's hard for him and for you guys, but it's what you do! He told me that, that he was trying to get out that life, he was going to leave this all. You have no idea- Jasper's strong he's... fuck! You don't know at all, you have-"
Suddenly the car swerved off the main road. She drove madly through a crowed mall parking lot, and up the ramp onto the top floor of the lot. She hopped out and threw my door open, reached in, cut my seat belt with a knife that appeared from nowhere and pulled me out.
"Listen you dumb bitch, I'm going to say this now because I don't know what bullshit he fed you and I honestly don't care. I care about Edward and Jasper. That's absolutely it. You have been pushed into all of our life's against the odds of about everything. Yea, Jasper kills people. Yea, he wants to get out, he wants to do a lot of things but do you really know why? You have no fucking idea, none! He's trying to get us out and himself second! His top priority is getting you out. He's willing to risk it all, everything we made. We aren't just racing for a case, this- this day is all we have left! You fucking twit!" I stopped her.
"I know that, but Jasper-"
"Tell me! Tell me! When you think about getting out, you don't just think about Jasper. Tell me if it were you and him, and he needed to pick who to choose, it wouldn't be you. You wouldn't expect him to pick you and fuck us all over. Me, Edward.. the others. Tell me you don't think he loves you just that much" Rosalie looked like she pitted me. Like she didn't care what I said next – she already knew. She just wanted to confirm it... and I did.
I was speechless.
"I love Jasper with all my heart and there's nothing in this world that could ever turn me against my own flesh and blood but if you – If you" She gasped. Paused. Walked in a small circle. "If you think I'll let him hurt the people I care about. That I'd make his decision's come back to haunt.. the others after I'm gone. He'll have to come through me, I swear to god. If anything happens to the people who worked and planned, who gave their life away to protect us. You think it's just you and him?"
She flipped her knife down and put it in her pocket. Breathed out her nose, fixed her shirt.
"You think you're the only people fighting for someone, do you think I don't have a life. Someplace I'd like to go rest my head at night. You think Edward's nice to you because he wants to? All those jokes he makes about me. The ones that make you smile? I know why he says them. They make him feel better. He knows why I am the way I am, he can understand, he just can't tell you to get out of his face on his best day. Everything you remind us off, you and Jasper. When this is all over and Jasper has you, and we might have nothing, the danger he's putting.. the others in. I swear to god, you better run as far as you can, you and him. If I don't have the one thing I need to survive. Edward might give you the benefit of the doubt, he might tell you it's not your fault. I won't. I swear to god, I swear on our mother, Jasper will have to kill me before I get to him. I'll do anything to keep Jasper alive, even give myself up to save them all. Edward would do the same. As much as I love... we both know what we have to do at the end of the day. Edward knows what he has to do. Jasper does not, this love thing is new to him. He never had to give you up. He won't. He'll make me and Edward do it before he does it to you. I won't forgive him for that. I won't." Rosalie's eyes were bloodshot red, but I knew she wouldn't cry.
"I know he loves me, but no one could love someone else that much to fuck up another persons life. Jasper isn't evil. He wouldn't throw you in the line of fire, his sister, to save me" I uttered.
"You never grew up the way we did. You don't know what's it's like to have someone who grew up the same way we did. Into this world, killing for survival. People die everyday, we contribute to the group. The people I love know that at the end of the day, you pick what's best for everyone. If it means dieing, if it means never seeing the other again. We'd do it in a heart beat. Jasper has you now, you don't know our way of thinking. Jasper has to protect you no matter what, he won't pick what's best for everyone.. He'll pick what's best for you. It's tearing us all apart. You better love him – you better love him. 'Cause after this he might not have anyone left. Not even me" Rosalie shook her head.
"I need to find a car to hot wire, this one is to heated" She walked off.
I stood there looking after her. He'd give up them for me? He'd do that... I didn't want to believe her. Not yet. I couldn't accept that now knowing that he was out there doing god knows what. I'm so confused, what could Rose have to worry about, everything she cared about was Edward and Jazz. What was she talking about? Love who? Who did she need, why did Edward understand her? Were they – dating? Edward and Rose! She had to mean him. Right? That's why Edward was so mad when I woke up the day after Felix. He didn't even want to talk.
A black car pulled up beside me. Since Rose picked it, it had to be expensive. Our old car's trunked beeped open.
"Transfer the bags" She ordered me. So I did. While I was lugging bag from car to car she emptied the inside. I was going to close the trunk when she stopped me. Rosalie pulled gray gloves over her hands.
"Wait," She reached in and grabbed the portable gas tank you pick up form gas stations. "Get in the car drive to the front of the mall and park. Don't get out of the car just wait till I come. I'll find you"
When I slowly drove away she was pouring the gas all over the insides of the car, and over it. I turned my head away from the rear view mirror and headed for the ramp.
I was parked for about five minuet's before I heard a god awful boom over my head. I peak out my window to look over to the parking ramp. There on the top level was all kinds of angry red's and oranges fighting with the smoke. Soon after ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars were zooming past me. That looked like way to much fire for just one car.
Out of the corner of my eyes I could see Rosalie leaving the malls front entrance with two bags in her hand. I scooted over from the drivers seat into the passenger's. It was getting dark out.
We had been chasing them for more than an hour. Slowest tailing of a car I ever had to go through in my life, I could see Edward's foot just ticking over the pedal urging to go past the 70 speed limit. All we needed was for them to go on a back road, just one, and we could catch them. I kept tapping my gun on the knee of my jeans in anticipation, the sun was almost completely down but there was still enough light to easily make out another cars license plate. Into I had to scrunch my eyes to read one, this wasn't going anywhere on my count. Just take one back road, please.
"So who showed up?" I asked Edward.
"Maria,-" He said.
"Great, we-"
"And Tanya" Edward added, switched the tapping from his foot to his left hand.
Wow.
"How did that play out?"
"It was awkward, a little bit uncomfortable. After Maria got in the car and I drove off, down the road Tanya stepped into my line of vision. I stopped the car dumbfounded just staring at her, but she apparently spared me the glance. Walked over to the car and hopped in the back seat. Before at the coffee shop I was disappointed you know? I wanted to see if I could maybe get a peek, if they would look in my direction and see that I was there, a connection or some shit like that. When it didn't happen I actually sighed! I sighed! Like I was holding my breath the hold time and was glad I didn't get a glance. I might have thrown myself over the fence of the shop and ran across the street. Then there in the middle of the fucking road is Tanya, I almost freaked, killed us both In a car crash, but I didn't. Here's the girl that had been trying to kill me since..., and I'd been wanting to catch a quick peek at the girl who saved it. I swear I almost... Maria sat there smiling at how fucking uncomfortable I was"
He stopped talking for a while. The one person who hated him more than anything sitting in the back seat of his car, perfect aim at his head. Maria was a lot of things if she wasn't resourceful, needed to have the upper hand. Tanya and Edward in the same car! If a gun battle went down, she could just slip away into the night. If there was anyone in the world that wanted Edward dead, it'd be that strawberry blond.
"It doesn't matter. I had to man up, you know? Puffed my chest out and act like it didn't bother me one bit. Never glanced in the rear view mirror once while I drove, put my attention to Maria and asked her what's up" Edward straightened his back, like he was going through it all over again.
"Hey man it's cool, Maria-" Edward was not looking at me. He was looking at the cars. Torry had signaled from behind us that they were making a move. The black car turned off the highway, we followed suit and did the same. They speed up, it was dark enough outside by now to actually have a chase.
Edward grinned from ear to ear. He needed this right now. I smiled too.
"You ready?" I asked. He could barely contain his excitement.
He answered by pushing his foot down on the gas. The predator had become the prey.
I clocked back my gun then reached under my seat at fished out three more, two were silent and one was an automatic. I couldn't make a lot of noise around around here, didn't want the police to come and chase our chase today. I just needed a really good shot at the tires when they were deep enough in the trees.
"What game are we playing today? Herding the sheep?" Edward asked.
"Yea" I signaled Torry what game we were playing from my window. She signaled back that she understood. Edward picked the speed up so fast that he bumped their tail lights. I could see an arm peak out from the right side of the car. Gun in hand.
"Edward, left!" I screeched just when a shot popped off and hit our wind shield on my side. If the car wasn't bullet prof It probably might have grazed my shoulder. Blood was pumping through my veins on full blast. We haven't done this in a while, not that I enjoyed it – not that anyone of us did – but I couldn't contain the adrenaline. We've been doing these kind of things since forever. I had to admit that as much as it sickened me – it also drove me. Something that I'd never tell Alice.
I opened up my window and leaned out.
"Speed up a little Edward or else they won't go into the trees" I huffed.
I needed to get two good shots on their back tires. One would slow them down, but you could still drive . What I need was two. At my first try I missed, because who ever was shooting almost nicked my head.
"Fuck!"
They turned into a dirt path they found that lead into the trees.
"Think they might be leading us in?" Edward asked.
"Could be... maybe. Though I don't think so" He nodded.
Once we were 3 meter's behind their car I tried again, and popped the right tire. The car almost flipped over completely to the side but they caught their balance and kept going with more momentum than before. The Fifth time I got the second tire out.
When I got the last tire Edward admittedly hit the brakes a bit to slow down. The car wobbled, popped a tile bit into the air, and skidded to a screeching halt. I wished they hit a damn tree. Saves us the trouble.
Three figures climbed out the car. A female and two males. We needed to get closer to see.
"Damn, the pop of that last tire was loud" A voice said from behind us. Torry came up to stand beside me, a little bit to close.
"Shut up" Edward said to her. He glared but otherwise stayed silent. We approached them with our guns aimed at their head. Fair game, three against three.
Torry clocked her gun. Hearing that, one male took off for the trees.
"Shit!" Edward took off for him.
"Fuck Torry," I hissed under my breath but this was no time to tell her how stupid she was. Can't let them know that I didn't have her completely under control. "Fire if I say fire"
When we got close enough to see their faces my foot steps almost flattered, almost.
Emmett.
Rose would kill me if she found out I almost flipped the car.
He had a gun pointed at my head. He stepped to the side, there was a girl with brown hair. Looked like... Bella. She had a gun pointed at Torry's head.
We stood there like that. Aim for Aim. I needed to wait and see what was up with Edward.
Five minuets later of just staring was broken apart from a dragging sound. Edward was coming from the clearing dragging a man on the forest floor with a broken leg.
"Idiot couldn't even run right" he muttered. When he got close to us he dropped him and whipped the sweat off his forehead. Edward picked at his ruined shirt.
"This was new" he spat on the ground from irritation. This game had gotten to the not so fun part. If we left, someone was dieing.
"Edward, Jasper, Torry" Bella said. Edward slowly looked up, saw who was there in the opening. He locked eyes with Bella and then with Emmett. He looked at the guy on the ground. I couldn't put a name to the face.
"Who sent you?" I asked.
"None of your fucking business" Bella glared. The man on the floor made a sound close to a wimp.
Edward took his gun back out and aimed it at Bella. Bella aimed at me. Emmett aimed at Torry, Torry aimed at Bella, I aimed at Emmet.
"James sent us" The man on the floor said.
"You fucking idiot. A broken leg and you cry for mercy!" Emmett glared. I wanted to smile he was still the same.
The tension was so thick you'd need a Axe to cut it.
"Let's calm down," I said. "No one needs to get hurt"
"You calm down" Bella replied.
"I thought this was supposed to be fair play. We haven't sent one person to follow you" I offered.
Emmett looked at me.
"Maybe you should" he was giving me a hint. Bella shot her head to the side. Stared at Emmett. Looked back back at me, Torry, and Edward. Her gun faltered only slightly.
The man on the floor opened his mouth to speak.
"Shut the fuck up!" She yelled.
"Bella" Emmett calmly said, to bring her attention back to him. What was he playing at? She snapped her eyes to him. Shook her head once, and refocused. Reassuring herself.
"So is this going to turn out into a blood bath? Do you want this?" Edward asked.
"Maybe, maybe not" Bella said.
"Let's work out a deal," Emmett said. "I'm sure we all want to die in a more civilize way than this"
"James has a plan!" The man on the floor said. Bella twitched her arm so quickly to left that we could barely call out before she shot him.
"Informant" She said. The shot was in his knee cap, he called out in pain.
"let's just go. As you can see we are a bit edgy" Emmett said.
"Fine" Edward said. We all slowly put our guns down. We backed up towards our car.
When Emmett reached the man he looked down and shook his head. Bella glanced at him before slowly moving into the lining of the trees. She stopped and waited for him.
Emmett shook his head, reached his arm out. Then shot the man in the head.
He turned his backs to us and left. We waited into we couldn't see him anymore.
"Freaking Informers, what would you guys have done if I did that?" Torry said.
"Get in the car, go back to the others" I spat on the ground turned around. Edward had already been starting the car up.
When we pulled out back into the road I was silent for a moment.
"What do you think about what happened back there. Em looked like he was trying to persevere-"
"I don't know" He said before I was done.
"You know I never said this before but Bella got kinda hot, don't you think. Maybe a little hot headed but-" I said.
"So"
"Emmett trusts her and-"
"So"
"Maybe it's time you, I don't know. It was a long time ago, given the circumstances..." He glared at me.
"Don't you think it's time you've mo-"
"I don't" And that was that.
"What did Maria say?" I asked.
"She said, you can still meet up with her and be with her. If not don't expect her to play by the rules" Edward supplied happy for the change in topic.
"So she's she knows something we don't know" I pondered.
"Yup"
Yea, so what do you think about that? You found out who was is the car with Edward but we still don't know who drove into to meet Emmett after Rosalie left. What's up with Bella? What does Maria know? What else could James be planning? Or was it all a bluff? What is Rosalie Up to, how do you feel about what she told Alice. Is she really just some bitch? You tell me! Reviews would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks to everyone who reviewed the story and the last few chapters.
Next Chapter should be up soon, I promise. Only about 2 to maybeee 3 left :) I'm back!
