Ok, so I wasn't expecting the amount of reviews that I got after last chapter. At least 18 the next day! Wow! Ok, and I must apologize. I would never stop updating a story as long as I have new chapters. It was an empty threat. But if you don't notice, I wrote this chapter in like two days, compared to the other chapters, which take me about a week. So, HEY, keep the reviews coming, and I'll update faster!

Chapter 10

Carlisle drove up to the small cottage like home, seeing Jasper pace around the front room. He slipped out of his car and walked into the house, storming up to Jasper.

"You can't leave." Carlisle said, watching Jasper throw things into a backpack.

"I have to go after her, you have no idea what they are capable of." Jasper shouted.

"They want you to go after them. Its a trap and she's the bait." Carlisle threw an envelope down in front of the boy, Jasper's name written on the front. "Besides, you need to keep up appearances. How would it look if you left less than a week after your girlfriend was kidnapped?"

"I need to stop them before they really hurt her." Jasper grabbed the envelope and opened it, growling at what he saw. "And who knows what they've been giving her." Jasper held up the used needle.

"I'm not saying you can't look for her, you just have to keep up normality's. Go to school, be seen with Emmett and Edward, Rosalie and Bella." Carlisle sat down on the couch.

"I need to find her." Jasper stressed.

"Yes, but at night and on the weekends." Carlisle stared at the boy.

"Why are you putting limitations on me finding your daughter?" Jasper yelled, demanding an answer.

"Because I don't need you to be suspected in this. We need you here, I need you here for information." Carlisle sighed.

"Carlisle, I love her, I need to find her before James really hurts her." Jasper sat down next to the father.

"We need to think about this." Carlisle looked at the boy. "Where would you be most vulnerable at?"

"What?"

"They are out to hurt you, to make you suffer. They already took the girl you love, chances are they are going to take her to someplace you care about." Carlisle sighed.

"That would be Texas." Jasper whispered.

"Do you know anyone who would be willing to help you out?" Carlisle asked.

"Maybe a few. But I'm going to go crazy just sitting around here." Jasper groaned.

"I hate it too, even though I have no idea where to start, this is killing me." Carlisle sighed. "The police said they are done with the dressing room, but the cameras are still down." Carlisle stood, pulling out his car keys. "If you really need to do something, you might want to go see what they might have missed." Carlisle looked once more at Jasper before leaving.

Alice had started losing track of time. By the time she woke up the second time they were dragging her from the van into an old house. She was shoved and locked into a dark empty basement. There was a thin mattress and a scratchy blanket, nothing that even resembled a pillow. A bucket sat in the far corner, meaning to be a bathroom.

For the first few days she was left alone, which in hindsight Alice was quite thankful for. During that alone time she found a mold covered window at the top of a wall. The soft mold slightly muffled the sound of breaking glass, but Alice knew from her time with Jasper that the three vampires holding her would still hear the noise.

She squeezed herself through the small window, going as fast as she could, not caring about the glass that dug it's way into her skin. As soon as her feet were free she started to run. She ran into the dense forest that surrounded her captive's home, stumbling and tripping as she went. She was a few miles away from the house when she tripped and landed on the ground, laying there trying to catch her breath. She tried to scramble back up when she heard someone approach.

"Silly little girl, thinking you could outrun us." Someone grabbed her arm and threw her back against a tree. Alice felt the tears start to fall down her cheeks, coming face to face with the group of vampires.

"And we were trying to be so nice too." Tristan frowned.

"Hold her arms for me will you." James sighed.

"No, no, no. Please, no." Alice cried as Tristan and Ethan held her arms straight against the tree she was leaning against. James just smiled as he pressed himself close to the girl.

"Don't worry, Alice, I'll be nice. James kissed her cheek before roughly biting her neck. Alice screamed out in pain at the teeth on her neck, not even noticing the needle going into her arm.

Alice couldn't remember anything after that. Her next memory was waking up back in the basement, her neck aching. She was once again laying on the small mattress, arms tied to a pipe above her head. She looked down at herself and saw that someone had bandaged her wounds. Next to the bed sat a small brown bottle of rubbing alcohol. She was at a loss for an idea of would being taking care of her.

She looked around the room and saw the few changes. The one window was now boarded up with plywood, and the random boxes she had used to climb up to the window were now gone. Everything other than her mattress and bucket had been removed, adding an extra layer to the dungeon feel to the room. She also noticed that it was suddenly a lot colder than it once had been.

She had started to cry when she heard the door creak open, and the soft steps as someone descended the stairs. She bit her lip and brought her legs up so she was laying on her side in the fetal position, trying to protect herself.

"Shh, don't cry." It was Tristan's soft voice.

"What do you want?" Alice whispered spitefully through her tears.

"I want to help. If you promise not to run I'll untie your arms." Alice turned her head and stared at Tristan's face, his eyes soft and caring.

"I promise." Alice whispered. Tristan leaned over and undid the girl's bounds.

"Slowly put your arms down, you don't want to tear a rotator cuff or anything." Tristan instructed, to Alice's shock. "I read a lot." Tristan smiled, answering the unspoken question. "I brought you some food." Alice sat up and spotted the tray at the end of the mattress, almost drooling over the sandwich, chips, fruit and soda. She hadn't realized how hungry she was until that moment.

"Thank you." Alice whispered, grabbing half of the sandwich. Tristan smiled as the girl ate, leaning over to drape a thicker blanket over her shoulders.

"This has to stay between us, ok?" Tristan asked.

"Ok." Alice nodded, her mouth full. "Can I ask why?"

"James and Ethan want to torture you, they have since we brought you here. I don't really think thats right." Tristan shrugged, looking around the basement.

"If you don't think it's right then why are you here?" Alice asked, sipping her drink.

"To make sure you don't die." Tristan said flatly. "James would have killed you in the forest if I didn't pull him off you." Alice gulped. "James wants revenge on you, Ethan wants revenge on Jasper, I just don't want anyone dying."

"And kidnapping was the answer?" Alice was far from convinced.

"James originally wanted to rape you, feed off you and leave your body in Jasper's bed." Tristan's eyes met Alice's. "Jasper is a good man, he doesn't deserve to be hurt like that."

"Then why not help me get back to him." Alice's voice broke from the thought of Jasper.

"I can't." Tristan whispered.

"Why?" Alice's tears came back.

"Ethan would kill me." Tristan gritted his teeth.

"So?" Alice wasn't in her right mind, she knew that, she just wanted to be back at home.

"I can't betray, Ethan." Tristan took a deep breath. "No more than you could betray Jasper."

"What?" Alice was taken aback.

"I love Ethan, I need him." Tristan looked down at his hands. "If I didn't or this was just James I would help you get out of here, or lead Jasper here." Alice just sat, staring at Tristan. "Besides, I already left him a clue to lead him here."

"Thank you." Alice mumbled.

"Are you done eating?" Tristan asked. Alice nodded. "Lay back, I want to clean your wounds before James and Ethan come back." Alice nodded again and laid back, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath as Tristan's cold hands touched her stomach.

"Are they bad?" Alice asked.

"No, mainly shallow cuts." Tristan sighed. "I'm sorry about this." He pressed a wet cloth to the cuts on her stomach, causing Alice to flinch a little. "And I'm really sorry for this, but I have too." Tristan took a deep breath as he touched the girl's forearm.

"Please, don't." Alice whispered, tears escaping her eyes as she felt the drug enter her body. She continued to cry until she fell, fitfully, into unconsciousness.

"Irina, please, I need your help." Jasper asked, into the cell phone, as he crept around the women's dressing room. "I just need you all to help me look for her."

"But why us, we're in Alaska, for God sakes. Don't you know anyone in Texas already?" Irina sighed into the phone receiver.

"I do, but I don't trust them enough. Charlotte and Peter aren't like us." Jasper whispered, staring at Alice's former make-up station.

"Why are you whispering?"

"Don't change the subject. I just need your help during the weekday. I need to keep going to school, but I'll help at night and on the weekend." Jasper asked, feeling the underside of Alice's make-up station. "Please, I'll owe you all."

"Fine, we'll meet you at your house Friday night." Irina sighed, hanging up.

Jasper smiled when he felt a small metal tube taped to the under-side of the counter. He removed it and took out the letter. He laid out the letter and flicked on his flashlight, holding it above the note so he could read.

Dear Jasper

Please don't hate me. I never wanted to take Alice. I know you love her, and you know I understand love. I couldn't leave Ethan, I love him, I need him, I had to do what I was told to, but I'll try and take care of her. I know you'll come after her and when you do I won't try and stop you from taking her someplace safe. But if you attack Ethan I will fight you. My loyalty is to him, but I won't hurt Alice, believe me.

I will try to send you clues to help you find her. I know you're coming for her, and I just want to help her. The first clue is on the back of this letter.

Your friend,

Tristan

Jasper flipped the letter, looking at the clue. It was a sketch of Texas, the sentence 'remember where you're from' written inside the outline of Texas.

Jasper pocketed the letter and turned off his light, running out of the school and to his car. He flipped out his cell phone dialing his old friends.

"Hey, Peter, it's Jasper. Are you and Charlotte still in Texas?" Jasper smirked as he drove, listening to his old friend. "Good, remember when I covered your ass? Yeah, I'm calling in that favor."

Tristan hadn't been back down to the basement in a while, leaving Alice with James and Ethan. Ethan wasn't too bad. He rarely even talked to her, just come down and give her the shot. While Ethan and Tristan came down to check on her, James was by far her most frequent visitor.

James did everything he could to hurt the girl. He'd tighten the bonds around her wrists and nip at her neck for a drink. By far his favorite activity was reminding her of what he had done to her. He would strip to his boxers and force her legs a part, slipping between them. He'd lay on top of her and press himself onto her, smirking as she cried and pulled on the rope around her wrists. He hadn't raped her, but he always left the option hang over her.

Every time any of the three vampires gave her the shot of GHB Alice would scream and cry. She hated how the drug made her feel, and was worried they might give her to much or that it'd be laced with something. Her fear escalated after a few days, she had been given at least three shots each day and next day nothing. Ethan and James had gone hunting and Tristan didn't want to drug the girl until he had to. But hours passed and she couldn't sleep. She was dead tired but she couldn't sleep.

While she had been there a little over a week, the worst day was still to come. Alice was coming out of her drug induced sleep when she noticed James watching her. The room was brighter than the basement, the walls covered in pealing wall paper. She pulled at her arms but they were still tied above her head. That was when she notice that her legs were also tied down, spread wide. She closed her eyes the sudden cold pressing against her skin, making her realize that she was laying naked.

"No, please, stop." Alice screamed, watching as James kneeled on the bed.

"Aw, come on, you know you've missed me." James smiled, running his hands over her body.

"Don't touch me." Alice tried to move away from him, but was stuck.

"You know, just because I'm no longer human, doesn't mean I don't have certain needs." James leaned down and kissed Alice softly on the neck.

"Don't." Alice screamed, feeling James bite her neck, knowing what was about to come. She screamed and cried as James entered her. She pulled on her bounds, screaming until her throat went raw. She just sobbed as James continued, refusing to look at him.

James seemed to love Alice's cries of pain, like it added to his satisfaction. He finished and slipped out of the girl and grabbed his clothes, just leaving the girl tied and bloodied on the bed. She continued crying until she heard the door open and shut again. She looked up hoping it was Tristan.

Over her time there, Tristan had become her mini savior. Bringing her food, giving her a blanket to keep warm, sneaking her upstairs to shower and give her new underwear and and a clean bra. She knew he was doing all he could, and was thankful for even the smallest thing.

To her dismay, Ethan was joining her. He walked over and broke the ropes tying the girl's feet and hands. Alice jumped off the bed, wrapping her arms around her chest, backing herself into a corner.

"What the hell do you want?" Alice snapped.

"Well, James made you sound so good, I just had to come give you a try." Ethan smiled. He was the exact opposite of Jasper and Tristan. Tristan, like Jasper, had a very lean muscle build, with curly dark brown hair. While his eyes were red, they were lighter, kinder. Ethan on the other hand had short black, spiky hair, with large muscles. His eyes were the same red shade as Tristan's, but his held a sinister, dark component.

"Don't touch me." Alice yelled.

"See, unlike James, I like the chase, the fight." Tristan said, walking slowly towards the girl.

"What about Tristan?" Alice tried distracting the man, running and jumping on the bed, running across to the opposite corner.

"What about him?" Ethan said, shoving his hands into his jean pockets.

"He loves you." Alice was desperate, trying to hold Ethan off until she figured out how to get to the door.

"Tristan is a sad puppy, ever since his human lover refused who he truly was. I found him and fucked him and then he started following me around." Ethan rolled his eyes. "It was annoying at first, but than I figured he could be a useful tool. So, I said I loved him. But who cares, now I get a fuck whenever I want and get to use his powers. Win, win for me." Ethan smirked. "I even know he's been taking extra care of you. I don't really care, I let him do it, because I know if I do, he'll stay the sick little puppy, who would be loyal to me until the day I die."

Alice stood silent for a minute, taking everything in. She felt so sad for Tristan. At the same time her opportunity presented itself. She ran towards the door, almost getting away until Ethan grabbed her by the hair and threw her roughly onto the bed.

"Enough talking, lets do this." Ethan dropped his pants and climbed on top of the girl, roughly grabbing her hips.

"Stop!" Alice screamed, pushing at the man on top of her, kicking.

"See, I taught James all he knows, and more. But he isn't man enough to do what is needed." Ethan whispered against Alice's ear, forcing her legs apart with his knees.

"Please, Stop!!" Alice cried.

After at least an hour Ethan left, leaving the girl once again, crying and bloodied. But this time Tristan came in quickly after Ethan left. He walked over to the girl and wrapped a blanket around her, picking her up and carrying her to a bathroom.

"I'm so sorry, Alice. I tried to talk them out of it, but they refused to listen." He set the girl into a bathtub and started to run some warm water.

"H-he is using you." Alice whispered, hugging her knees to her chest.

"What?" Tristan whispered, handing the girl a washcloth and soap.

"He said he only keeps you around so he has a fuck whenever he wants and so he can use your powers." Alice looked up at the man, her eyes dull and broken.

"He lied." Tristan shook his head, trying to convince himself more than Alice. "He loves me." Tristan stood and turned away, biting his lip as he thought.

"You deserve better than him." Alice whispered.

So, yeah, sorry about the flipping back in forth, but I wanted to keep things up in the air a little. And I do listen to reviews, I tried not to do the whole "the boy", "the girl" instead of pronouns things, I hope it makes things better.

And I feel sad, only one person got my hint about a sequel that was in the last chapter. I thought it was pretty blatant. Oh well.

KEEP THOSE REVIEWS COMING!!!!!
