Chapter 10

I found myself being woken up by Jasper. He was softly calling my name and pressing light kisses to my face.

I blinked a bit, trying to focus on what was happening. I didn't have my glasses on. Where were they?

"Where are my glasses?" I asked.

"I didn't want you to smash them, so I took them off of you." Jasper answered as he handed me my glasses.

I smiled up at him and put them on my face. "There now I can see you."

"We are going to stay at this hotel for the night and then got to the airport and fly out of here." Alice said as she got out of the car.

Bella sluggishly got out of the car and went to the back to grab her things.

"Did Bella sleep at all?" I asked as Jasper opened the door.

I got out of the vehicle and stretched out my legs. They were so tense.

"No, she didn't. I did calm her down a bit, but she would sleep." Jasper answered me as he got out of the car. "Here, Bella…I'll take your bag."

Bella smiled a thank you to Jasper and I went to take my bag but he already had it in his grasp along with his bag too.

"How am I supposed to hold your hand if you're holding a bag?" I asked with a teasing grin.

Jasper returned my grin and shook his head. "Sorry, Ma'am…but you're going to have to deal without holding my hand for a little bit."

"That's going to feel like years." I said and walked in after Alice and Bella.

We bought a two bed hotel room. Bella wanted a bed to herself. I think she just wanted Edward. In a way, I felt bad that she had to leave Edward behind.

Jasper and I were laying on our bed together. Bella was in the shower and Alice was booking our tickets in the living room.

He held me in his arms while we were face to face with each other. One hand was wrapped around me, while the other was busy with my free hand.

I played with his smooth fingers and hand. My warm human skin grazing over his cold vampire skin. If didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Usually if I were to touch something cold my body would bow away from it. If it's him I'm touching then my body accepts it like he is what I need to survive.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Jasper asked, breaking the comfortable silence between us.

I didn't stop playing with his hand. "I was just thinking how strangely comfortable my body is with you. I mean, your cold…and usually someone would try to get away from that. Now it's like if I'm not touching you, cold or not, then my body feels too hot." I frowned as I tried y best to explain what I was feeling. "I'm sorry. I'm trying to make sense but I can't."

"Don't be sorry. Say whatever you want to me, crazy or it makes sense I want you to tell me." He said in a calming voice. "Never be afraid to tell me what you are thinking."

"What if I don't know what I'm thinking? I tend to think a lot and then when I try to think about what I'm thinking…I get lost. Wow that made no sense."

Jasper chuckled and pulled me on top of him. "You overthink too much."

I looked down at him, both legs on either side of him. "And you're old." I tried to feign innocence.

He rolled his eyes. "Old? Me? I'm only nineteen." Now it was his turn to act innocent.

"Your brain must be dissolving with your age. Add a century to that, Honey. You'll be closer if you do." I ran my finger over his bottom lip, completely forgetting about James and Victoria.

Jasper moved his mouth ad clamped his teeth down on my finger. His teeth made a slight indent in my skin, never penetrating it, before he removed his mouth.

"Sorry, the older I get the more I bite." He winked at me.

My body reacted to his words and wink. Fuck.

"No. Don't you even go there, Whitlock." I warned and poked his nose. "I'll give you the silent treatment."

Jasper's lips curled up in a side smirk. "You think that will stop me from biting you?"

"No…" I trialed off. "I don't think they would like to hear what would happen if you keep that up though. I can't promise I'll be quiet."

"I'll ask Alice to take Bella out to eat." He leaned up and grazed his lips over mine. "But if you don't want to then I will stop." Jasper's lips left mine without kissing me.

I let out a huff. What gives him the right to tease me like he's going to kiss me and not kiss me? Ass.

Bella and I were sitting in the living room with Alice. Jasper was in the kitchen getting Bella and I something to drink.

I turned my head towards the brunette vampire, when I heard her gasp. Jasper was by her side in no time, sitting beside her.

"What is it, Alice?" Jasper asked, concern was on his face.

Alice's eyes were not glowing like they usually were, like she was spacing off. She replied as she was seeing her vision.

"The tracker, he just changed course…" Her voice trailed off.

"Where will it take him, Alice?" Jasper asked as he handed her a notebook and paper.

Where did that come from?

"Mirrors. A room full of mirrors." The vampire woman drew a sketch of, what looked like, a dance room with mirrors.

"Edward said the visions weren't always certain." Bella added as she watched Alice draw.

"She sees the course people are on while they're on it." Jasper explained in a patient but strong voice. "If they change their minds then the vision changes."

"So, the course that the tracker's on now is gonna lead him to a ballet studio?" Bella asked as she examined the drawing.

"You've been here?" Alice asked as she focused to the real world.

"The school I went to had an arch just like that." Bella said when she pointed to the arch on the drawing.

"Was your school here in Phoenix?" Jasper asked.

I sat up in my seat, looking towards Bella. Something wasn't right. Why would he know Bella's old ballet studio? Why would he be there?

"Yeah." Bella answered and her phone started to buzz. She answered it. "Edward? Are you okay?"

I couldn't hear what Edward was saying on the phone, so I only heard Bella's side.

Jasper and Alice were down in the lobby checking out. Bella and I were up in our hotel room, packing. Bella's phone wen off and she answered it.

"It's my mom." She said to me and I gave her a 'good luck' look. "Hey, Mom. I'm glad you got my message. What are you doing home?"

Bella rolled her eyes and then started to continue to talk to her mom again. "Calm down, everything is fine. I'll explain everything later…" Bella trailed off. "Mom, are you alright?"

Bella froze and her eyes went wide. I put my hand on her shoulder and gave her a 'what the fuck' look.

"Don't touch her! Don't…!" Bella stopped talking.

Oh no. James and or Victoria had Bella's mother.

"Where should I meet you? Bella asked.

What?

"Just Lori and I?" Bella asked in the phone. She ended the call and looked at me. "James has my mother. I need you to come with me. Don't think about making a decision. If you must, just think that you're going to go to Jasper on our way down there. Alice will see our decisions eventually, but we need to leave before that. He wants just you and I and if they come then he'll hurt my mom."

I placed my hands on Bella's shoulders. "Stop. You're fine. Let's go down to the lobby, okay? Do you have your bag packed?"

We finally made it to the lobby. Alice and Jasper were still waiting in line. There were a lot of people. Good. That meant they couldn't use their speed to get to us.

I sighed and then made the decision to leave with Bella. I quickly ran out of the hotel with her and got into a cab with Bella. As we were driving off, I looked out of the window and saw Jasper and Alice coming out of the hotel.

Jasper's face showed how furious he was. My heart broke. I'm doing this for Bella and her mom.

My hand went on the window, like I did when we were on separate buses.

We finally got to the ballet studio. Bella told me to wait in the room with mirrors while she followed her mom's voice.

A cold hand wrapped around my throat. I gripped onto the hand and tried to make a sound, but I couldn't.

I was turned around in the air and there he was, James. He had such an evil grin on his face. His eyes were black, meaning he was starving.

"I'm not going to have you. Not yet, Little Dove." He said and threw me across the room, making me land on a mirror. The mirror shattered and some of the shards went inside me.

"Lori?!" Bella screamed out and went to run to me.

I was on my back. I needed to get onto my side. One shard was in my back and was being pushed into me.

With all the strength I had, I rolled onto my good side. I looked at my body. I had a shard in my back and one on my hip.

I screamed out in realization that I was bleeding. I wasn't bleeding badly, but I knew if it took out the shards then I would be bleeding horribly.

I had no idea what was happening until I heard a loud roar, coming from Edward. When did he get here?

Bella was on the floor. She was in the same state I was in, bleeding.

Edward and James fought one another. Finally James had a hold of Bella's hand and bit into it.

Bella let out a scream in pain as James sank his teeth into her. Her boyfriend grabbed James off of her and threw him across the room.

Soon enough Emmet, Alice, Jasper, and Carlisle showed up. I laid there on the floor, limp and exhausted from the pain. This was something I never felt before.

I looked over to where James was thrown and saw he was getting up to come after me. Jasper and Emmet were on him in no time.

Alice went by me and saw I was bleeding too. "Hey, look at me." She took in a deep breath and calmed down. "Jasper will be right with you in a moment. Bella was bitten and Edward is sucking out the venom. Don't move or you'll hurt yourself even more."

There was a blur from where Alice was and now she was gone. She was over by James, Jasper, and Emmet. I watched as Alice took off the head of James, throwing it into a fire.

When did they light a fire? I felt my eyes become heavy. Maybe just closing them would be okay? I could stay awake and have my eyes closed.

I could feel arms lift me and lips were to my forehead, cheeks, and lips. It's Jasper.

I barely opened my eyes and let out a weak smile. "Hi."

"Shh, you can sleep now. We are taking you both to the hospital. Afterwards, you and I are going to have a serious talk." His voice changed from sweet and full of love to a parent scolding their child.

"I did it for Bella and her mom." I argued out softly.

"I know. I know, but you still could have been smarter about things." Jasper's lips curved in a smile. "I knew from the moment I saw you that you would be the first human to give a vampire gray hair."

I let out a laugh and pain shot through me, but I ignored it for him. "Well, I'm doing my job as a girlfriend right then."

Jasper's lips were on mine within seconds. I heard Emmet say something like 'get a room' and something about 'keep it PG'. Fuck that.

I kissed back with as much effort as I could, feeling the smoothness of his wet tongue on mine. He tasted like Jasper, my Jasper.

A/N: I have a couple of questions. Should I continue writing the other stories in the same story title and link or make it have a different title? Like…make a new post and have it as a different title but its part two. Kind of like part two and so on of a book series. Also, we all know that Lori is going to become a vampire. When? I'm not gonna tell you. ;) My question is, what should her powers be? I have some ideas. I'll post my ideas in my next chapter. I want her power to be unique. Nothing lie turning invisible and reading minds. Please help? XD
