Thanks for all the reviews guys!!
Blair sat at the edge of the bed as she watched Edward hug Alice goodbye. Blair already said her goodbye and right now she was just feeling somewhat numb. Rosalie at the moment was setting up a fake trail for James to follow. Blair knew that soon he would figure out it was a fake trail and then find Blair here 'alone' with Edward. Edward walked over to Blair and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Everything is going to be okay Blair." He whispered to her.
"How can you be so sure Edward?" She asked him.
"Alice will know when he's heading here. James has no idea that Alice can see the future, so he will think that the two of us are alone here." He promised her. "Little will he know Alice and the others will be on his tail and by the time he gets here…he will already be dead." Edward kissed Blair's lips softly. Blair placed her arm around his neck and deepened the kiss. Blair then straddled his lap as they continued to kiss. Edward was telling himself to stop, but he was having a hard time controlling himself around Blair. His kisses went down to her neck and Blair began to moan softly. This was the perfect thing to get her mind off of everything…to get her mind off of James. Edward kissed her neck softly feeling her blood rushing through her veins. He could smell her blood and he could almost taste her blood. Edward pulled away.
"Don't stop." She pleaded with him. "Please Edward…don't…." She said while laying down on the bed offering herself to him. Edward wanted to…so badly, but at the same time he knew that he was too strong and that he would only end up hurting her.
"Blair, believe me when I say I don't want to…I mean I really don't want to…but I have to." He said while laying down beside her.
"So Alice said she would call when he changes his route correct?" She asked.
"Yes, she said that she would call. That means he's still following Rosalie and Emmet." He kissed Blair's cheek. He was hoping that all of this was going to work out between the two of them. She was hoping that they would catch James and she could continue living a somewhat normal life with Edward. "I shouldn't have stayed with you; he's going to know that we're together. I am surprised that he hasn't caught on to us yet."
"Maybe he's not as smart as he looks. You said he is a hunter, maybe he relies too much on his sense of smell. Maybe he's just not thinking things through. You know, it's kind of like when you're intoxicated it kind of blurs everything else." She didn't like to think that James saw her as fine wine. He was intoxicated by her scent and that was why he hasn't found her yet. Edward's cell phone went off and he saw that it was Alice.
"Hey Alice…"
"He's there."
"What do you mean he's here?" Edward asked. He was trying to hide the fear that was in his voice. He wasn't expecting James to be here already.
"I don't know how it happened…one second I saw him following you and then the next I see him there…he's watching you…I don't know how they tricked me…but maybe because his mind is just a jumbled mess right now. We are running there as fast as we can Edward…"
"I'll talk to you when you get here." Edward hung up the phone and turned to Blair. That's when he saw James standing at the window. James jumped through causing glass to shatter everywhere. He put his hand on Edward's throat and pinned him to the wall.
"You were stupid for coming here alone…with the girl…really no protection. I smell that the rest of your family is miles away." Edward kicked James in the stomach and he went through the wall flying into the forest. Blair let out a scream as Edward went after him.
"You stay away from her!" Edward punched him across the face sending him flying again. James stood up laughing. He turned around and disappeared into the forest. Edward was going to go after him but then decided that he should go back to Blair. He ran into the room and saw that Blair was gone. "Blair?" He called out. "Blair where are you?" He opened the closet to see if she was hiding there but she wasn't. He was filled with panic now. "Blair!?" He screamed.
"We are too late…." Alice said while walking through the gaping hole that was in the wall. Emmet, Rosalie, and Jasper followed behind her.
"What do you mean you were too late? Where is she?" Edward asked with rage in his eyes.
"Victoria took her…she took her when you were outside fighting with James. He knew that if he ran off you wouldn't go after him. It was all a last second plan…I'm sorry Edward."
"Where is she? Where are they going to take her?" Alice closed her eyes trying to see what ever Blair was seeing trying to hear what ever she would hear.
"They are in a cave of some sort…it's dark…wet…she's scared…crying…but alive…she's still alive Edward. This is just a part of the game, he wants us…you…her…." Alice was becoming confused by her vision. James and Blair's thoughts were coming at once making everything just a jumbled mess.
"I'm going to kill him…we need to go after them…right now!" Edward was about to head out, but Emmet's massive hand grabbed him roughly.
"We can't just go out there blindly." Alice said to him. "He's got a big head start on us…we need to wait till we know where he's at."
"You expect me to wait while Blair is out there with that monster? You have to be joking Alice!"
"I think he's right… I don't think we have time to wait and stand here idly." Edward was surprised that Rosalie said something in his favor. He figured that she could care less, but it was obvious that Blair had some how impress Rosalie and somewhat won her favor. "We know what direction he went in and I say we go in that direction. Charlie thinks she's on a camping trip, so we have a very limited amount of time to find her." Rosalie's statement was a very logical one and Alice nodded her head yes in agreement.
"We will head the direction he left in…and I'll see if I can see anything." Alice said as they headed out into the woods.
****Hide Out*****
"You need to go Victoria." James said to her. Victoria pouted, because she did not want to go anywhere. The two of them were connected at the hip and she wasn't planning on leaving him in the cave alone with Blair. They were better off fighting together then James alone. James seemed to have something planned though, but Victoria wasn't sure what it was.
"I don't want to go James. I think that it is better if the two of us stay together." Victoria said to him while putting her hands on her hips. "Let's just kill her already…leaver her body out here for them to find…then we can go." Victoria was confused why the girl was still alive.
"Victoria, you need to go now." He growled. He never spoke to her with such a tone and Victoria jumped back. She wasn't expecting him to get so animalistic with her. Victoria looked at the crying Blair in the corner of the dark cave. She was terrified and Victoria thought she was completely pathetic, Victoria ran over to her with her fangs out but James grabbed Victoria and threw her against the cave wall. "Go…or I swear to you I will rip your fangs out." He hissed.
"I don't understand you James…I don't understand what you are doing."
"It's not up to you to understand. It is all part of MY game Victoria, and you do not need to be a player in this game. It is too dangerous and I don't want anything to happen to you." He pulled Victoria close to him and kissed her deeply.
"Fine, meet up with me later though." She said while leaving the cave. She knew she had to go, she knew that she should never question games…he became violent sometimes when he did not get his way. James turned around to Blair who had her arms wrapped around her legs.
"I love it that your scared…." He said while going up to her. "So terrified, because you know what is about to happen. It's such a shame too…" He said while running his finger down her arm. "You are absolutely exquisite; I could understand why Victoria wouldn't want to leave me alone with you. If you were a vampire…hmm…the things I'd do to you." He put his finger beneath her chin and looked into her chocolate eyes. There was something about them, something completely hypnotizing and James found himself becoming weak in the knees. He was second guessing everything…thinking that he shouldn't kill her. "You are so… beautiful." Blair spit in his face, taking him by surprise.
"You disgust me." She said to him. James laughed and wiped the spit off of his face with his sleeve. He then grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up on her tiptoes. She was struggling and clawing at his arm to breath.
"You should learn to play nice, I am your captor after all…I am the one that is going to decide whether you live or die." He let go of her and Blair fell to the floor gasping for air. James laughed again, humans were so pathetic.
"Why am I still alive?" She asked him. She thought that he would end up going with Victoria's plan, killing her and leaving her body for Edward to find. James looked at her again, wondering to himself why she was still alive. He pulled out a camera from his bag.
"I want Edward to see what I'm going to do to you." James said while setting up the camera. Blair tried to back away, but there was nothing but a wall behind her. James came towards her and began to kiss her neck. Blair tried to push him away but he was just too strong. "Your skin tastes so good." He said while forcing his tongue in her mouth. Blair's tears were staining her cheeks now as James hand slid up her shirt. He pulled away from her lips grinning at her.
"Please…please don't do this." She begged him while looking into his eyes. Again he felt weak in the knees. There was something about Blair, something incredibly special. James back away from here which took Blair by surprised.
"You would make a wonderful vampire. I heard a story once, and I don't know if it's true…but I heard if you bit someone on their head…penetrating as deep as you can then that vampire would lose all their memory of their human life. Something about the venom being directly injected into the brain corrupts memory." He whispered in her ear. "Just imagine you forgetting all about all of them…and then we can kill Victoria and you could be mine." He whispered to her.
"No…I would rather die!" Blair spat. She never wanted to forget about Edward…she couldn't…she refused to. She knew that she really didn't have much choice in the matter though, James was invincible and there was no way that she could beat him.
"Really, you would rather die? I could start with your foot you know…rip it off…start drinking some of your blood…you will still be alive of course, and in an incredible and indescribable amount of pain. Or I could turn you, which would hurt as much as me ripping off your foot, but you'll live and afterwards you will be invincible…immortal…powerful…" He whispered in her ear. "Don't tell me that the thought of becoming a vampire doesn't interest you. I can see it in your eyes that it is something that you desire."
"I don't want you to be the one that turns me. I don't want to belong to you." She said to him. She wanted to belong to Edward. He was the one that she was in love with, not James…not this freak who had some kind of sick fascination with her.
"I promise you that I am not that bad Blair…I won't treat you the way I treat Victoria. The two of us are together out of convenience, I don't actually love her."
"I don't love you James, and you don't love me…." She said to him. This was all so strange and confusing to her. She didn't understand why James was so attracted to her. She felt somewhat flattered, as well as terrified. If James wasn't a psychotic vampire and was a normal human, then James would be someone that Blair would find incredibly attractive.
"I see the way you look at me Blair…I see fear…but underneath that fear I see lust. You know that you like what you see." He said as her eyes darted to his abs. She closed her eyes, she hated him…he disgusted her…but at the same time he was incredibly sexy.
"Edward is going to come for me and I am telling you now that if you turn me…I will remember everything and he will come and we will kill you."
"Lets test that theory." James said while pulling Blair close to him and sticking his fangs deep into her skull.
******The Woods******
Alice stopped in her tracks as she opened her mouth as if she wanted to scream. Everyone stopped and surrounded her, they wanted to know what was going on…Edward was afraid that Blair was already dead. He wasn't sure if he could live with himself if Blair was dead…he loved her and he knew that he could only love her.
"What is it Alice?"
"He's not going to kill her…." Edward sighed in relief. That was possibly the best news that he heard all day.
"If he's not going to kill her, then what was this all about?" Edward asked. Rosalie perked her ears up too. She was definitely interested in exactly where this was going. She didn't understand why James would go through all of this and not kill Blair. She thought that was the whole point of everything.
"He was going to kill her, that was his plan…but something changed…his feelings about Blair changed." Edward's heart fell to the pit of his stomach. He did not like where this story was going and he wanted Alice to continue, but Alice didn't say anything. "Something is blurring my vision…I see him biting her…and that's it…nothing else…it's just static after that." Alice's tone was worried. She wasn't sure exactly what Blair's ability was going to be…but it seemed like a part of it was blocking Alice from seeing anything that was around her.
"Has this happened yet?"
"If it hasn't now…then it is soon….we are close though…this looks familiar…Blair saw that tree…" Alice walked over to it and pointed at a cracked branch. "A few miles this way…and we'll find her…I just hope we aren't too late." Alice said as they ran full speed. Edward prayed that they weren't too late…he prayed that he could save Blair from James.
*******The Reservation********
Jacob did not believe the stories until they came true. He became a werewolf, and he was terrified that Bella would think that he was some kind of freak. He grew six inches taller and gained so much muscle mass, Bella would have become immediately suspicious. He wasn't sure when he was going to see her again…or if he even should see her again. He wanted to though…he wanted to desperately see her again.
"Jacob we have a problem." Sam said as he came into the room. Sam and Paul were behind him and Jacob immediately jumped to his feet.
"What kind of problem?" Jacob asked.
"We have a fresh scent of vampires that came through the woods…an the scent of that girl Blair. Seems like a vampire got her and I smell the Cullen's…we are assuming that they went after Blair and the other vampire. We need to hurry…we need to save her." Sam said to him. Jacob was ready for some action. Ever since they turned they actually haven't had to have the taste of vampire blood, but all of them were thirsting for it now.
"Well then, what are we waiting for? Lets go kill us a blood sucker." Jacob said with a grin as they all turned into wolves and went running through the woods.
