Chapter 9 - Monterrey
Jasper's POV
'Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare.' - Time of Dying by Three Days Grace.
My nerves grated at the more human pace we were being restrained to. Luckily, we had managed to 'obtain' a few reasonably powerful cars and were roaring along the highway. However, the speed continued to aggravate me. I could reach much faster speeds if I was allowed to run. According to Carlisle, we were in a much more densely-populated area than Forks so we had to be far more careful in our use of our vampire abilities. Ever the leader; everyone had followed his advice without question and I saw little point in resisting. They wouldn't allow me to go alone, they had proved that.
Emmett sat next to me in the car and he scrutinised my face with an unusually rapt expression on his. I imagined without interest what he might be seeing. A dead man. A corpse without anything to live for. Whatever he saw; it made him look worried beyond normal boundaries.
"You okay Jazz?" he asked, concern uncharacteristically filling his voice.
I couldn't speak properly. "No" I managed to choke out in a strangled tone.
Emmett nodded and his eyes returned to the road. "We're more than a match for them Jasper, you'll see; Alice will be fine" he said confidently.
Not even a full army of vampires could disturb Emmett. He loved fighting.
"What if it was Rosalie out there and nobody would let you go alone to fetch her and you were restrained to these human speeds" I snarled through clenched teeth.
Emmett's face tightened and he didn't answer. He didn't need to. I knew that he would be exactly the same as I was now. I watched the trees pass the window, tapping my fingers on the glass irritably. I was in danger of breaking it because of the pressure I was emitting from my fingers. The glass groaned and dents began to form onto it.
"Hey! We have to give this back to the owner you know!" Emmett sighed.
"So?"
"So, do you think it's going to be just a little bizarre if he finds dents in his window shaped like human fingerprints?!"
"At the moment Emmett, I don't really care" I said truthfully, and I was right. I didn't care. All I could possibly care about at the moment was Alice and if she was hurt.
My fingers tensed on the glass and with an ear-splitting smash the window shattered into a million diamond shards.
"Dammit Jazz!" Emmett shouted "Calm down!"
I ignored him, just crushed the shard in my hand until it was nothing but glittering powder. Then I threw it out of the smashed remains of the window. I didn't know why. It made me feel better for two seconds but then I crumbled like the stone I represented and put my head into my hands. I remained in this position for the rest of the journey.
"Hey Jazz! D'you smell that?!" Emmett asked. I forced my head upwards and sniffed at the air. Alice's scent was easily noticable mixed with the scents of other vampires including Maria. The car skidded to a stop. Monterrey. We were in Monterrey. Hopefully Alice was too.
Hope you liked this chapter. Even if you didn't, review and tell me!
