Chapter 10 - Missing

JPOV

I left the house in Edwards Vanquish to g and collect Nessie and Flick. I was so anxious to see her again. Honestly, people would'v thought she'd been away for weeks the way I behave. But she's my imprint. I'm supposed to feel this way. 11:28 I arrived. I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I was a couple of minutes early.

I leaned against the car and pulled out my phone, pretty sure that I saw her take it with her. I dialed her number and held it up to my ear. But the phone went straight to voicemail. Nessie never had her phone off. Odd.

I put the phone in my pocket and went to the door of the house. I could smell the alcohol now mixed in with everbody's scent. Of course. Why didn't I think earlier? There wouldn't be many intoxicated people at 7:30 would there. However, leave it 4 hours and pissed would be an understatement. But would Nessie drink? I didn't think she was that sort. I knocked on the door loudly, but the music was even louder. I turned the door handle and found it unlocked. Walking in, people were dancing, drinking, laughing, talking, snogging. The typical happenings of a secondary school party. I sniffed and could find a faint trace of Nessie scent heading towards the kitchen. I followed, squeezing my way past the dancers and drunks and into the kitchen. But no-one was here. I sniffed again and this was where her scent stopped.

But there wasn't just Nessie's scent in here. Definately not. Not only did Nessie's incredible aroma linger in the air, but there it was, the unmistakable sickly sweet scent of a vampire. Not one I recognise. I gulped and had to grip the side of the counter for support. I could just be overreacting right? Nessie could be perfectly fine, she could still be out there dancing, or in the garden, or... who was I trying to kid? I knew what had happened. She had been taken.

I took a deep breath and walked back out into the crowd where I spotted Flick talking to Lucy and Josh who I had met that first day I kissed Nessie. She spotted me and waved me over, she looked confused at my obvious strained expression.

"Hey Jake. Are you okay?" She asked as I neared.

"Urm... yeah... I'm here to pick up Nessie, but I can't find her. You seen her?"

"No, I havn't sorry Jake. Hold on a sec. Let me go look." I nodded and she went off searching. I followed suit but went in a different direction. I went to the garden and could smell the scnt of the vampire again, but as I got closer to the back gate, I could pick out Nessie's scent again, along with another's who seemed vaguely familiar. I opened the gate and looked around the passage. Following her scent again. It went to the end of the passage, right the way round to the road where it dissapeared, there must've been a car waiting.

I stopped and fell to the floor at the kurb, burying my head in my hands and letting a few tears stream down my face. She was gone. Truly gone. It finallu sunk in that my Nessie was gone. But no matter how much I thought she was gone, there was a part of me that knew that would fight to the death to bring her back.

"Jake?" I heard Flick and pulled my head out of my hands to look at her. "Jake, I'm sorry, I can't find her. I don't know where she would be though. Hey are you crying?" She looked sympathetic, obviously not understanding the full extent of what was going on. I gave a sheepish smile and she took it as confirmation. "Ah, come on, she'll be back soon. I'm sure of it." But I knew otherwise, I knew she wouldn't be back unless we found her. I put my head back in my hands and shook my head, it was all too much. My imprint was away from me and had been taken by a vampire. How was she supposed to fight off a full vampire and whatever else it was that was there.

"She won't. Not unless I find her. I know you're trying to help, but she won't be back. Not soon anyway. You don't understand. I need to call Ed-Carlisle." I corrected myself, suddenly remembering she was human. She nodded and sat down next to me on the kurb. Pulling my phone out again, I dialed Edwards number.

"Hello? Jake what's up?" He already sounded worried.

"Sh-She's gone. N-Nessie. She's missing. Not here. I th-think she was taken. What do I do?" I heard him gasp.

It took hm a few seconds to respond to what I had told him. "What do you mean gone? Taken? By who?" He seemed remarkably calm as he questioned his daughters whereabouts.

"By... I can't say."

He seemed to put the pieces together, realising I must not have been alone. "Vampire. Okay, we're coming. Take Flick home. Then meet Esme and Carlisle at the house. I'm assuming that there is a scent somewhere, so we'll find it and let you know. And Jake?"

"Yes?"

"We'll find her. Trust me, if it's the last thing we do, I know you love her more than anything and I'm sorry you have to go through all this, but trust me, as her father, we will find her."

"I know Edward, I do trust you, and I know we will. I love her so much."

"I know that. Now hurry up, we've got to get things done." The phone clicked then and I put it back into my pocket. I stood up and instead of feeling sorry for myself, I felt determined. Nothing was going to happen to Nessie and we were going to find her and soon.

"Come on Flick, I've got to take you home." She looked up, confused.

"What do you mean? What's going on? What about Nessie? Why were you talking to Edward?" Shit. I'd forgotten. She seemed very perceptive. "Jake?" I walked towards my car. "JAKE! Tell me what's going on. I swear to god you better tell me soon. Don't think I havn't realised that you lot are all 'different'. There's something abnormal about all of you. And I want to know what! For god's sake Jake, I swear down... JUST TELL ME!" She screamed. I had stopped in pure shock. What do I do? She knows there is something different about us. "I knew it. There's something going on with you lot isn't their? No way are they all that gorgeous and human. Not that fast or that strong." That stopped me short.

"What do you mean?" My voice cracked. Not suspicious at all, well done Jake!

"I've seen you all running around like a blur, lifting up incredibly huge things. Seriously, if it's some big secret, you weren't doing very well. There's something freaky about you. So, if you're going back to the house, I'm coming too, I want in." I stared at her in disbelief.

"Get in the car." She smiled and walked past me and sat in the passanger seat. Nessie's frend may have just almost figured out our hugest secret, but I still hadn't forgtten the job in hand. Right now, I couldn't care less if she knew, all I wanted to do was have Nessie back. And I will.
