Abductor's Torment

Chapter 10: Further and Further Away

"Two hours. South. Anchorage. Airport."

It shouldn't be too hard to find.

Okay. It was very hard to find. The trip to the airport was supposed to only take two hours, but it has already been three days! And the human was still knocked out! She was alive at the very least since her breathing hasn't stopped and Jane had to try and get some water down her throat without drowning her.

Jane was adamant that it wasn't her fault. She had seen the sign 'Anchorage', but then there was road reconstruction. She took another route, but there was a cow lounging about on the road! The vampire was about to get out of the car and move the cow, but there was a herd just off the road and she just knew that they were all eyeing her. Jane didn't really like killing animals nor did she want a stampede of cows, so she had to take another route. It happened over and over...

Eventually, Jane gave up on Anchorage and just tried to find a town or city that had an airport. There were a lot more instances where Jane was detoured from where she wanted to go! This who thing wasn't her fault! And, Finally...

... well, she was here. In this area...

"Mmm..." Finally! Jane took a look at the backseat of the Porsche and the girl was finally waking up.

Jane just continued driving and waiting for the human to get her bearings. Bella immediately moved forward into the front seat.

"It's about time you woke up." Jane grumbled. She wouldn't relay the fact that she was actually getting worried that the girl wouldn't wake up. Adding to the fact that Jane didn't really know where the hell they were going from here anymore... yes, the situation was bad.

"I'm hungry." Bella reached for her backpack, opened it up and groaned. "Fuck! All my snacks were in the other car! I guess it hasn't been two hours since we're not even at the airport yet, can we go back to the car we left?" Bella questioned. This backpack only had a shit ton of money, but other than that, nothing. It felt like she hasn't eaten for days.

"..." Jane mumbled. No matter how she would say it, it would look like it was all her fault.

"What?" Bella was already looking outside, confused to why they were surrounded by... dirt. Well, dirt and a lot of sand. Was there a desert near Alaska?

"I said, it has been three full days since you collapsed." Jane stopped the car to the side of the road. There were a few people around, but she didn't care. She faced Bella with the most serious face she could muster.

"Three days?!" Bella cried out, not really believing the vampire, but at the same time knew that Jane wasn't one for jokes. Three days! "And you were driving for three days?! Where the heck did you take us?!" Bella was getting a migraine, she needed to get some food.

Before Jane could say anything, a face burst through the side window on Jane's side.

"Hola! Comprar un sombrero?" Jane immediately snarled and pushed the face out of the window and started up the car as Bella suddenly burst out laughing.

"Oh my god." Bella just continued to laugh finally knowing where they ended up. "Really, Jane? Fucking Mexico?!"

"Shut. Up." Jane knew where they were, not really how she got here, the Border Checkpoint was a good indication. If she were human, her face would most likely be beat red by now.

Bella just couldn't stop laughing for the next several minutes while Jane just stewed in embarrassment.

"Whew. Okay. I'm good. I could go for a taco." Bella said trying not to laugh again. Jane tried to ignore her, but Bella was starting to learn how to nudge Jane her way. "Come on, Jane, I haven't eaten for three days. Feed the human! Feed! The! Human! Fee-"

"STOP! Fine! We'll get you your stupid taco! There's a few things in the back." Jane indicated and Bella found a few plastic bags on the floor that she hadn't noticed earlier that had snacks and other foodstuffs. Bella thanked Jane, but still told her that she wanted a taco. Too bad Jane didn't realize the double entendre.

Bella activated the GPS in the stolen Porsche and looked for the closest airport and taco place, both were out of the way. It just seemed as if there was an empty dusty road in front of them for a while. Conversation quickly began and this time, Jane was actually answering. It looked like the vampire had quickly softened up to the girl.

Jane realized it even though she had only known the girl a couple of days, she couldn't bring herself to hate the girl. She was... an annoyance at best, but her presence was refreshing. The girl did technically save her from being destroyed.

It was enjoyable to finally have someone to talk to that wasn't afraid of her. Alec was different, he was family and that didn't count. And... well, Heidi was Heidi. Felix and Demetri were both like... servants... or dogs.

"So... You have a twin?"Bella remembered hearing Tanya saying something about a 'witch twin'. Bella continued munching on the random snacks that Jane had gotten most likely during her stops for gas. She was curious about the vampire and wanted to learn more. What better time to get to know her when there aren't wolves or vampires trying to kill you?

"Yes, his name is Alec. Normally, we are sent out together with the other guard, but I was ordered to do this solo." Jane said. She remembered always wanting to go on a solo mission, but that urge was slowly dissipating. On the other side of things, if she was sent with someone else to abduct Bella then she wouldn't be in this torment. The torment of bullshit creeping up and getting lost, not Bella.

"How old were you when you were turned?" Bella held her tongue mentioning an age right away because she knew she was still treading on eggshells around the blonde, she didn't want to be denied the unfettered access to all these answers.

Jane looked straight into Bella's eyes and realized she wasn't trying to make a dig into her age. She turned her attention back to the road and replied.

"I was turning sixteen... before the villagers tried to burn Alec and I at the stake and my... Aro, saved Alec and I by turning both of us after slaughtering the village." Okay, she almost half way to sixteen. She eyed Bella from her peripherals and saw the frown appear on the girl's face, but at least it didn't look like the human was pitying her.

Bella asked for the reason why and Jane explained how the village was just getting paranoid about her and her brother. Beating up the boys from the village didn't help her case either. Who would believe that the tiny blonde village girl could beat up boys twice her size?

"Wow. Too bad you couldn't take revenge for yourself." Bella quipped and continued eating. Jane was surprised yet again at how she said that like it was nothing. It truly was nothing, to vampires, but to humans? Jane knew that a lot of humans still vainly tried to hold their image of being humane, but it seems like Bella's thoughts were a bit... skewed. She didn't even care that Jane killed and drained the man they took the vehicle from.

It truly was too bad though, Jane always wanted to wipe out her own village and make them see just how terrifying her gifts were. What did the villagers ever see her do? Paralyze a butterfly? She would have torn them all limb from limb, one by one as their loved ones watched.

"I want to say that I'm surprised by how unaffected you are by my draining a man in front of you, taking apart the Denali Coven and not caring about that girl we ran over, but I'm starting to believe that your morals aren't too different from a vampires." Jane actually gave her a compliment, it was pretty much saying that Bella's mind set was leaning closer and closer towards how a vampire thinks.

"As long as you don't snack on my family or friends, I don't really care." And, Bella really didn't, there were too many people in the world anyway. "Why did they want to kill you anyway?" Bella only knew that the Denali Coven and Jane all knew each other and didn't have such a good history together.

Jane quickly told Bella more about the Volturi, what they've done and the what happened to the Denali Coven when an immortal child was created.

Bella listened intently and it really did make sense why they needed to destroy the evil baby that only wanted to suck some blood. She heard the glee in Jane's voice while telling the tale of tossing the kid in the fire and that was probably why the Denali Coven was even more pissed.

A comfortable silence descended on the two travel companions as they were getting closer to the next town that had a taco store and the airport.

Bella looked over at the blonde and couldn't help but want to touch the girl. She still couldn't believe how strong the petite girl was. Watching her fight multiple vampires at a time and actually beating them back until they resorted to underhanded tactics. She still remembered when Edward fought for her against James...

... That pussy. Speaking of James... Bella recalled the hunter having a mate.

I wonder what happened to that redhead? The redhead was definitely hot.

Bella noticed that Jane's eyes were getting darker. Did she not feed?

"Hey, Jane, have you had blood since the last time I gave you some?" Bella knew that Jane could hold out for longer than regular vampires due to regularly consuming human blood and because of her age, but the brunette didn't want her travel companion to be hungry. What was a human or two sacrificed on the way to Volterra?

The brunette would also let Jane drink a bit from her if she wanted to. Becoming a vampire was already on her bucket list anyway, no harm done if she did turn into one prematurely. She wanted to see what Jane's reply to her offer would be. Having Jane drink from her again, how hot would that be?

Mmm, very.

Jane turned back her dark red eyes towards Bella, a bit touched that the human actually bothered to ask and remember. Her mouth did start watering as she remembered the oh so sweet tasting blood. It was the best tasting blood she ever had, but somehow she was always satiated even if she didn't have it. It truly was a weird feeling that she couldn't really explain.

"I can hunt while you get your tac-" There was suddenly a large pop and the car was out of control due to how fast they were driving.

SCREECH!

Jane tried the best she could to maneuver the Porsche, but could tell it was not working out as it spun on the road.

It was a lost cause.

Jane quickly grabbed Bella and jumped out of the car after smashing through the door. She landed quietly on the ground with Bella secure in her arms, but the car was lost as it suddenly went up in flames.

"What. The. Fuck!" Seriously, Bella was starting to get pissed. It was like something didn't want them to get to where they wanted to go to!

"Something blew the tire. It was a projectile, I heard the sharp sound whistle through the wind right before it hit." Was someone trying to hunt them? Jane surveyed the area and tried to smell any scents, but there wasn't really anything.

"God damn! All my stuff was there!" Bella was getting really pissed off. All the money that they collected from the Denali Coven was all in her now burning bag. Her passport, her clothes, her cellphone, her gun! Everything! She was just about due to change underwear!

"Let's move. I don't know what hit the tire to make it blow, but I highly doubt it was human." Jane had to keep her attention up. Something else was out there...

Jane could see Bella sifting through her pockets, but only bringing out a few dollars.

"Yes! I think I still have enough for two tacos!" Bella then extended her arms gesturing Jane to carry her. No way was she walking in this desert, fuck that. Who the hell would put out their tires?

Bella still didn't understand what the hell was going on. Oh well, she was getting used to it. Maybe it was a human thing?

The witch twin just sighed and took the brunette in her arms. She made it looked like she still loathed the act of carrying Bella, but secretly she was enjoying the warmth coming from the human's skin.

A couple of minutes away from their crash site, Jane found a scent that could be problematic or helpful.

Another vampire's territory.

"This is really stupid." A female voice signed into a phone.

"Yes, yes. I told you I did exactly as you said. I put up the detours, broke the roads, changed the signs and I even released all those cows. I just-" The voice sighed again as if resigned.

"Yes, I blew out their tires and I'm sure the witch twin didn't notice me." She listened a bit more to the person on the other side of the phone. "I trust you. I know. You told me. Their vehicle is disabled, they should stumble across the Warlord's abode soon enough."

"I know. I love you too." A click sounded and the cellphone went dead.

"The things I do for love."

Eleazar sighed and could feel a phantom migraine coming along. He looked over to the pieces they were able to recover and it wasn't looking good.

Eleazar and Carmen were able to piece their bodies back together and hide before the firefighters put out their burning mansion. All his notes, work and belongings were all just ash now. Hindsight, he should have stopped his coven from antagonizing Jane.

"I think my boob is over in that direction." Kate said, she currently was only a head attached to a torso... the rest of her body... well, it was better not explain it further. Just note that she was still missing numerous pieces.

"The fire spread to the forest a bit. I do pray that none of your body parts were burned." Eleazar was currently trying to piece some fingers together, they had found quite a few already and it was like putting a bunch of legos together.

"I still don't believe or actually understand what happened." Irina said, they had discussed it for a while after Irina and Kate were able to kind of function. None of them remembered what happened other than blacking out, which has never happened to them in their immortal lives.

"The Volturi will not let this pass once Aro sees what occurred from Jane." This truly was bad. Finding all the pieces would take a while and they haven't even found Tanya's head yet. Eleazar also had an inkling to what had happened. Just before everything went to darkness, he was able to feel the same pulse that he had felt when probing Bella.

"We will have to find a way to get ahold of Alice. Maybe she can help find Tanya's head and divine all the other missing pieces." Irina needed to talk with the Cullens. Their time was ticking and they needed help if they wanted to survive the Volturi's wrath. She was sure that Carlisle would be eager to help them.

What to say though? Bella has been kidnapped by the Volturi?

Yes. It wasn't far from the truth and it would get the Cullen's support easily.

Tanya could only blankly watch as the baby bear cub rolled her head off the cliff and into the waters below.

AN: Google maps again for the win. Denali - Monterrey, Mexico is 72 hours by car. Please, do not call me out on my directions. And, no, I haven't been to Mexico or the border.

I don't know how I feel about this chapter since it was a bit rushed as well. I just wanted to give them some extra time to bond~ (And slowly further the plot. Oh! I actually have a plot now! Kinda. :D)

Well, they're in Mexico and lost all their stuff. Sorry to anyone that wants them at Volterra already, but I need them to be closer to each other before that point. First, they'll be meeting with a certain retired Warlord.

The feedback is great! Thanks for all the suggestions and support! If you do have any, just keep dropping them in reviews or pms. I might just put extra segments at the end to answer questions or just show some random stuff like the Denali Coven's Scavenger Hunt.
