To Where You Are – Chapter 10
(This is Saturday Morning, 4th March. Bella's doing a little cleaning around the house. Charlie's home and Alice isn't there, last chapter was Thursday/Thursday night)
BellaPOV
Okay, don't even ask what came over me when I decided to tease Alice to this extent. Ever since she made love to me, I've been turned on everyday and every night. I'm not sure if Alice likes this game I'm playing but I think I'm successfully driving her insane. Yesterday, when we arrived at school together, people suspected. I didn't really mind them knowing there was something going on but if Alice didn't want to make it concrete then I wouldn't say yes when people asked me.
So all day Alice had looked to be in an extreme lustful state. Her hair was slightly messier than it usually was. It was as if she'd been running her hands through it in frustration. At lunch and in our class we had together, her golden eyes never left me. My sex drive was going insane from the reaction I was getting from her.
This morning before Alice left, she was standing by the window sill saying goodbye. I wanted to give her something to think about for the rest of the day. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her small body, I heard her muffled whimper as I felt her hands on my back. They were moving slowly down, the cold felt so good. She pulled her head away from me to look me right in the eyes. There was a plead in her stare. I got lost in her golden vortex.
She took this opportunity to pull my lower half into her, in my shock I didn't have time to stop her also kissing me rather urgently...
I heard my cell phone vibrate on the table in the kitchen, snatching my mind away from Alice. I put down the cloth I was using to clean the windows and went to retrieve it. To my surprise I had 4 texts waiting and it'd only been like an hour since I last checked. There was one from Alice, one from Jacob and the other from Angela. Alice's was the first text. I read them all in order.
Alice: Hey hun. We're going to do a run of Forks tonight, maybe a bit further, so I don't think I'll see you till the early morning, Sorry. I miss you.
My eyes lingered on her last words, feeling a little down that I wouldn't be seeing her tonight.
Jacob: Hey Bella, I'm free all of Sunday if you want to come to La Push. Catch you later.
Hmm...Maybe. I had to make sure Alice was okay with me going there since she can't keep watch for the 'elusive' vampires in La Push.
Angela: Bella! Congrats on catching a Cullen!!! Why didn't you tell me you were into Alice!?
Angela was my most genuine friend from school who wasn't a Cullen. She's probably the reason I didn't get much shit from the rest of my group but that didn't stop the rest of the school talking about it.
"Bells, I'm just going to La Push to watch the game with Billy, okay?" Charlie interrupted my thoughts.
"Okay, dad. I'll see you later." I gave him a warm smile and he returned it. I heard him head out the door while I replied to the texts.
To Angela: I didn't know how you would react, sorry. I'll be sure to keep you in on things in the future haha
To Jacob: I don't know if I'm busy that day but I'll know by morning. Will it still be okay?
I hoped it would. I did miss Jacob a bit, in a completely 'friend' way of course. He was so easy to get along with. I replied, finally, to my vampire.
To Alice: I wish I could help. I hate not doing anything about this. You know I probably won't sleep very well until I know you're safe. I miss you more!
I sighed at my lameness and got back to cleaning.
--
It was late afternoon, Charlie was still out at La Push. I wondered if Jacob would say something about Sunday. Then I'd really have no choice but to go...
I shut my eyes as I lay on my bed, facing the wall. The sun was beginning to set. I missed Alice so much that it hurt, I wondered if it felt like that for her too. Could vampires feel that? The aches of the heart. The longing. I wondered what it would be like to be a vampire. To feel and see things differently. A body that's yours yet different. What if...
I felt a cold arm around my waist and opened my eyes. Lips pressed against my neck and I relaxed.
Alice.
"I didn't think I'd being seeing you today." I quietly spoke to her.
"I couldn't resist 'checking in' on you." I felt Alice's lips curve into a smile against my neck. Her body moved closer into the back of me.
"I'm glad. Oh um. Is it okay if I go see Jacob tomorrow?" I asked hesitantly. I felt her face shift from my neck.
"Yeah, why do you need to ask?" Alice responded after a few seconds of silence, I knew she wasn't completely ecstatic with the idea.
"Because...I care about how you'll feel. I'll be far from you..." I admitted to her. She moved, if possible, even more into me. I could feel a certain area pressed against me. I knew she could hear my reaction to that but I still tried to act composed.
"I'll be fine if it isn't for the whole day. I'll miss you too much." Alice half joked with a small giggle at the end of it. I felt her hips move slightly, pressing herself more into me by the smallest amount. It made me hold a breath longer than was usual. I was all too aware of her breasts against my back.
"What um, what time do you...ah have to. Go with. To do the. The thing." I struggled with my thoughts and words. Again Alice pressed herself into me.
"I have around ten minutes." Alice whispered into my ear, her hand slipped under my top causing me to back into her from the shock. Was that her plan? I felt cold fingers running up my stomach slowly, inching towards my breast. Alice's touch made me burn with desire.
When Alice found my breast and started to play with my hard nipple, I felt her thrust against me hard and slow. Her long and deep moan made my centre blaze. Alice picked up a rhythm, it was slow but kept up the pressure. Every thrust caused a breathless whimper from her. I wanted her even closer to me, to be one.
Alice's hand moved from my overwhelmed breast and ended up holding me between my legs. Her palm against my clit, I moaned from the contact. She was making me move with her but also rubbing me through my pants. I felt her press harder and her whimpers were still all I could hear. My breathing had become unsteady.
"Bella..." I heard Alice's desperate voice whisper my name. I motioned to turn my body around and Alice let me move but stopped me when I was on my back.
"I want you like this when I get back..." She spoke seductively from above me while her hand trailed down my body. She leant down and placed her iced lips on my neck. I grabbed her hair and pulled in the direction of my face. She got the hint and kissed my lips. Our tongues connected as soon as possible, running along each other and memorizing the others mouth. Alice pulled away and I reluctantly let her go.
"You're making me crazy and I love it..." Alice whispered to me and smiled cutely. I couldn't help but smile back. It was fairly dark now. I think it had been more than ten minutes.
"Aren't you late?" I asked her, sitting up from my position next to her.
"No, I just wanted you to think I only had ten." Alice laughed and stood up from my bed. I stood up with as well and wrapped my arms around her.
"I'll see you soon..." I said softly to her. It was only a short embrace before she pulled back and kissed me, soon after that she climbed out my window.
As soon as I calmed down from my sexual desire, my mind flew to thinking. There was too much to worry about. What if Alice got separated from her family? Would she be strong enough if the other vampires found her? I wondered if all of them were back. Eva, Kyan, Stella and William. I was getting the feeling they were. Eva and Kyan reminded me of the people in my dream. In fact, I think it was them...
I felt myself get angry as I remembered the things they did to Alice in my dream. I was reminded that I was useless. I couldn't help her or the Cullen's. I was pretty much a burden. I always needed 'protecting'.
I eventually drifted to sleep.
AlicePOV
We hadn't found anything. Faint scents that seemed days old, tracks that were half washed away from rain. I'd been wondering where Stella has been through all of this. When I got back to Bella's house, she was sleeping restlessly. I took off my shoes and jacket to lie down beside her, outside the blankets. Bella was mumbling and shaking her head. There weren't any proper words being said so I didn't really pay attention. I lifted my hand and brushed some of the hair off her face. She stilled for a moment.
"Alice..." I heard her speak. She was still asleep though.
"Do it...Please? I know you can. It's better this way..." Bella whispered again into the night. I wanted to know what she was dreaming about but she didn't say any more. I rested next to my sleeping Bella.
My visions had disappeared again. I guess this was a good thing, William was okay. Now I just needed to find him. It was extremely discomforting to know there was more that Bella and I should know but didn't.
--
It was late morning when Bella woke up, Charlie was awake but he was downstairs. Bella was facing the wall and turned to face me, her face relaxed when she saw that I was there. I smiled warmly at her, feeling the happiness bubble through me from just seeing her eyes looking my way.
"Morning!" I greeted her, unable to mask my joy. Bella just started laughing; I guessed she was happy too. I reached for her and she shifted into me, fitting perfectly. I wondered what it would be like to be pressed against something as cold as me. I certainly knew what it was like being against her flaming self, maybe it was similar.
"So...Jacob huh?" I said in a neutral voice, though I was searing with anger inside. For Jacob not Bella, I kept reminding myself.
"Yeah, I don't know how long I'll be, he gets talking and it's hard to stop him." Bella told me and smiled warmly.
"Mm. Okay, well just text me when you want me to come over." I said to her and she nodded. "What time do you have to go?"
"Oh," Bella craned her neck to look at the clock, "Shit, soon. I need to give him a text to let him know." She sat up and leaned over me to retrieve it. I couldn't help but stare at the lovely view of her-
"Wait...Did you find anything last night?" Bella asked suddenly, catching me looking. I wasn't sure if she knew at first but when she moved and straddled me, I knew I was in for it.
"No...There was nothing. It was like they had just passed through a few days ago and then disappeared." I hope she knew how difficult it was to talk with her sitting on a certain sexually frustrated area and looking at me like that. My hands were placed lightly on her thighs; it took a lot within me to not attempt to do anything else with them.
"Oh. Well what are you gonna do now?" Bella asked me in way I knew only I would hear. I had no answer and I couldn't help the intense built up tension inside me force my hips to thrust into her once. I saw her smile at me, like she was winning. I didn't care if I lost this game of hers. I didn't care if I looked desperate or pathetic. I just wanted her to know she was the one who could make me like this.
"Well, Alice, I don't think that will help us find them at all." Bella grinned down at me but I could see it in her eyes. She wanted it as much as I did. She liked seeing me like this. I slowly moved my hands further up Bella's legs, taking a light grip on her and thrusting against her twice. I heard her reaction, her breath caught in her throat and her heart jumped with excitement.
Bella leaned down quickly and I felt her warm, soft lips on my smooth, stone neck. I heard my own quiet whimper and bit down on my lip to try take away the need to moan. Bella's tongue licked a long line across my throat to the other side of the neck; I felt her start to move her hips around on me.
"Bella..." I whispered to her, hoping she would still hear the need in my voice. I took my hands from her legs and slowly edged them inside her t-shirt, pulling it up and exposing her upper body to me. Bella's short breaths sent bolts of desire through my body, fuelling the burning between my legs.
"I know what you want." I heard Bella say to me while she disconnected our bodies and held herself above mine. I immediately felt like something had been torn away from me. I missed the contact.
"What do I want?" I played her game but my voice was shaking slightly. She smirked at me. Oh God.
"This..." She undid my jeans and I lifted myself a little as she slid them down a bit, revealing my black underwear. My head was spinning. Is she actually going to touch me? I needed her so bad.
I felt her glide her fingers around me outside the material, successfully making me lose the ability to hold her lightly enough. My hands found their way the sheets and I grasped them tightly. I was watching her every move. The way her face looked, taking pleasure in making me want her so desperately. The way her fingers were moving so slowly yet creating such sensations within me it was nearly unbearable.
Bella took her hands away to pull my pants off. She dropped them to the floor and came back to me, one hand was in between us and playing with me again while her face was inches from mine. Bella's fiery breath on my lips was driving me insane with not having hers against mine. The way her fingers were dancing around the one place I needed them was making me squirm. Bella's hair was hanging down around my face. I didn't know how much longer I could go on with this. Her scent was surrounding me.
Then her cell phone vibrated on the bedside table. Jacob, that shithead. I didn't expect Bella to reach over, grab the phone and text him while she was still touching me like this. She finished the text and turned to me.
"That was my cue to get ready." Bella told me in that same tone. I was expecting for it to end now but Bella lifted my underwear and I felt her fingers making contact with my sensitive clit. I closed my eyes tightly and I felt Bella's lips on mine. I returned the kiss and her mouth opened, I had no time or patience to hesitate. I loved the fire in my mouth when we kissed like this. Our tongue movements were feverent yet passionate.
I felt Bella's finger slowly edge inside me as she broke the kiss. My eyes stayed closed and I moved my head to the side to get the pillow to muffle my extremely loud moan. I opened my eyes and Bella moved her finger slowly in and out a few times causing me to have to actually hold the pillow against my mouth to make sure Charlie wouldn't hear these moans from Bella's room.
Bella then slowly withdrew her finger from inside me and kissed me softly before speaking.
"I really have to get ready now." I could see in her eyes that she wanted this to continue like I did. I took hold of her shoulders and pulled her into me lightly. She cuddled into my body for a few minutes before getting up. I stood and began putting my clothes back on.
"You'll be safe in La Push." I reluctantly informed her, not wanting to talk about them. Bella eyed me curiously.
"I was under the impression it was a risky place to be, since your family can't go there but other vampires can?" I didn't really mean for this to be a truth session.
"You're right, we can't go there. But you'll be safe. Trust me on this. I love you, Bella." I told her as I slipped into my jacket.
"Okay. I love you too." Bella responded and hugged me again, I held her as tight as I could allow.
BellaPOV
I felt extremely on edge as I drove towards Jacob's house. It didn't feel right knowing Alice couldn't come to me. I was actually on my own right now. I thought back to what I was thinking about before Alice had come to see me yesterday. How does one go about turning into a vampire? A bite on the neck and the next day you're a vampire, right? But I'd look so different...My attention was diverted back to the road as a car tooted their horn at me. I'd been drifting to the other side. Whoops...
Every object that moved caught my attention. People crossing the road, I watched them to see if they were acting normal or if it was an act...Other cars, I watched like a paranoid criminal. I felt a sense of relief once Jacob's house was in my view. I pulled up outside where Jacob was waiting for me, I gave him a wide grin and received one in return.
I saw Jacob walking over to me as I got out of my truck and locked it. As I faced him, he pulled me into an extreme but brief hug.
"Wow, happy to see me?" I joked as he pulled away, grinning happily still.
"You bet! Wanna go down to the beach?" He asked me, starting to walk in that direction.
"Sure." I replied, smiling and catching up to him.
AlicePOV
Emmett had asked me to go with him somewhere. I had found it odd but maybe he thought I needed some time after from Edward and Jasper's planning. Rosalie didn't seem to mind either, maybe they had discussed it earlier.
So here I was, in the wilderness with Emmett. Walking casually in the forest at noon. We had ran here but slowed to walking when we got to a clearing. I saw Emmett sit down on a fallen tree trunk. I joined him.
"You don't have to talk or anything. I just thought since Bella's with...Jacob, that you might want another way out of those scheming sessions." Emmett found it hard to talk about Jacob politely. "Not that I don't enjoy them myself." He added, grinning. I smiled at his comment.
"Thank you, Emmett. I do appreciate this." I responded, his grin shifted to a warm smile. "I'm just so scared, you know? Not for me but for Bella. I mean, she's only human. It wasn't right of me to drag her into our world. Now I'm in love with her and I know there's no going back." I didn't know I'd needed to talk until now.
"Alice, I don't think you dragged her. I've seen you two together and Bella knows what she's gotten into. Plus, There's seven vampires somewhat protecting her. I think she'll be fine." Emmett reassured me.
"But what if something happens? What if what William needs to tell us is bad? What if I lose her? God, I can't take this unknowing shit much longer." I confessed weakly.
"Have you ever thought about...you know...turning her?" Emmett asked curiously. I pondered it, I hadn't seriously thought about doing it. I had thought about what it would be like to not have to be so careful around her but never to actually turn her into a vampire.
"No...I haven't...She probably has though knowing her." I laughed quietly. I wondered if she'd ever bring it up, talk about it with me.
"You won't put it into her head if she hasn't though will you?" Emmett sighed, his question didn't need answering. He knew I wouldn't say anything about it to Bella unless she brought it up. My cell phone vibrated in my jacket pocket and I swiftly pulled it out to read the text I'd received.
Bella: 'Wanna meet me somewhere in twenty minutes? Xo'
My heart seemed to leap out of my chest at her words. Emmett saw my face light up considerably and assumed it was Bella who had texted.
To Bella: 'When you come out of La Push, you'll see me. X'
I sent it and couldn't help but let my excitement be shown.
"So I take it your going now?" Emmett guessed and grinned widely at me. I nodded happily with a similar grin and hugged him tightly, unable to help myself.
"I'll see you later! And thank you for everything!" I hurriedly said as I stood from our sitting area. Emmett rose also.
"No problem, don't get into trouble now." He winked at me before heading off towards our house. I started off in the same direction. It didn't take us long to get there, we weren't far. I asked Carlisle if I could use his car, he had no objections.
--
I drove the Mercedes to the treaty line and waited for Bella. I was five minutes early. The time passed too slowly for me. I took off my jacket and threw it into the backseat. All I could think about was having her scent in my system while I was kissing her. I closed my eyes and let my mind wander to Bella's voice, it made me relax but made me excited at the same time. Bella's eyes, they made me feel nervous but safe. Her slightest touch weakened me yet made me strong. Bella's kiss, made me feel real and tore down all my barriers. I hadn't realised I was in this deep. Something was changing.
The passenger door opened, my eyes doing the same. Bella slipped into the car and shut the door, never taking her eyes off me. She looked...different. The way she was looking at me. I felt a little anxious under her stare but I refused to break eye contact. I don't think I had it in me anyway. I felt like we were connected. Something was going on here, I couldn't ignore this intense and overwhelming feeling I was getting from Bella and I having this...competition.
"How was your day?" I asked her, feeling the silence in the car start to get to me. Bella's gaze softened, I felt that connection break. But whatever it was she was feeling lingered in her eyes. Probably in mine too.
"It was okay. I missed you like crazy though." Bella smiled slightly and looked away as her cheeks flushed pink.
"I missed you too..." I softly told Bella and I felt her hand on top of mine. I heard my own sigh as I let out air, relaxed by the contact. Bella had that look again, her hand slowly trailed up my arm, making me shiver with unknown satisfaction. "How..come you wanted...to see me so soon?" I was never good at talking when she was touching me like this. Bella smiled at my obvious reaction to her. She leaned over and spoke very slowly and very seductively.
"Because. I want...you. Right now." Her hot breath against my skin as well as the words she spoke caused me to whimper while her fingers lightly caressed my arm.
"Right here?" I asked, my voice quivering unintentionally. She moved back slightly and looked me in the eye.
"In the car." Bella whispered, giving me that intense look. My body felt like a million lightning bolts were striking inside me. Bella pressed her lips against mine hungrily; I moved my hand to the back of her neck. Bella made an involuntary sigh when I pulled away. The only reason was to move to the backseat. I hinted with my eyes and Bella smiled wickedly. We both got out and quickly slipped into the back, returning to each other's touch without hesitation.
Bella ran her hand up my thigh, while licking my lower lip. My whole body got goose-bumps, and my nipples hardened instantly. Bella unbuttoned my shirt slowly. It felt like forever before the shirt was finally undone. I shrugged it off, and looked up at Bella. I was unsure if she was really going to do this. I'd been waiting for what seemed like my whole existence.
She kissed my neck, and all the way down my collar bone to my partially exposed breast. She reached around me, and undid my bra. Bella pulled it off swiftly.
Bella looked down at my breasts with a hunger. She leaned forward and took one in her mouth. I arched my back and gasped at the sensation. Bella licked, sucked and occasionally bit down on my nipple, making me ache for more. I felt her undo my jeans and motion to pull them down, I lifted myself and helped her take them off me.
Bella took her hand and placed it on my inner thigh, giving it a gentle squeeze before running her fingers lightly up and down over my crotch, over my underwear. Bella knew I couldn't wait much longer. She slid one finger inside of me, and I moaned with pleasure.
I felt Bella's lips press hard onto mine, I opened my mouth for her and she slipped her tongue inside. Our kissing was desperate and full of desire. Bella used her other finger to find my clit, and moved the tip of her finger in little circles over it. I arched my back, getting closer. I groaned in pleasure, my eyes closed tightly as I balled my fists on the seat, my mouth and tongue still occupying Bella's.
I couldn't feel anything but pleasure as my orgasm was building. The tension was too much and I moaned out loud, causing our tongues to disconnect. I lifted myself up, trying desperately to get Bella to go harder, deeper, faster. She did, she worked me exactly how I needed her to.
My entire body quivered, and I let out a long scream of satisfaction as I finally reached my orgasm. Strong, intense sensations coursed through me for longer than I thought they would. Days of sexual frustration being satisfied as I finally got my release.
I came down from high slowly, pulling Bella to straddling me. I was shivering slightly from the aftermath, not the cold obviously. The feel of her body against mine as we held each other was home to me now. I buried my nose into her brown hair around her neck, letting a satisfied moan slip from me. I heard and felt Bella giggle shyly. I bet she was blushing right now. I changed my position to see her face clearly. Sure enough, her cheeks were that pink colour that I loved seeing. I smiled lovingly at her.
Before I knew it we were kissing once more. Far from desperate, it was full of love and passion. That intense feeling I was having before Bella came into the car was back. Was it possible I'd fallen for this girl more than before? As Bella's soft lips moved on mine, I couldn't help but feel this is where I wanted to be for all eternity. I pulled away from Bella with reluctance but I knew she needed to breathe.
"Bella, I can't believe you just made love to me in Carlisle's Mercedes." I laughed as Bella's expression became worried as she caught her breath. She moved and sat beside me while I put my clothes back on.
"Don't look so worried Hun, it's fine. I'll drive with all the windows down to air it out." I smiled cheekily at Bella as she blushed at my words.
"So no-one will know?" She asked in a slightly panicked tone.
"Well...I can never keep you off my mind. Which means Edward will probably know more than anyone wants him to and Jasper...will feel it." I admitted still smiling at Bella's increasingly reddening cheeks. I was used to having next to no privacy.
"Are you kidding me!?" Bella exclaimed, terror in her eyes.
"Calm down, Bella. We don't need to be anywhere near them just yet." I reasoned and brought my lips agonizingly close to Bella's. I saw her glimpse down at them but her eyes quickly darted back up to mine.
"What are we going to do?" Bella asked curiously as she traced her finger along my cheekbone and gazed into my eyes.
"Well, we could go for a walk?" I suggested timidly, my eyes looking away. I felt Bella nudge my chin softly so I would look back up at her.
"I'd love to, sweetie." She told me softly but seriously. As if she was trying to get something else across. I smiled and we both got out of the car.
"The place I wanna take you is close to my house so we'll park close okay?" I checked with Bella. She nodded and kissed me quickly before heading off to her truck.
I got back into the driver's seat and waited to hear Bella's truck start. Then we were off. I made sure I did drive with all the windows down; I was serious about doing it before. I started laughing quietly to myself, I felt so happy right now I just couldn't help it.
BellaPOV
Alice was driving slower than her usual speed so I could keep up with her in my truck. It made me smile, I must have looked quite silly smiling like this with no-one beside me. I couldn't believe I'd made love to Alice less than ten minutes ago. It was so surreal making her feel that good. I don't even know how I did it but I sure as hell wanted to do it again.
Alice pulled over at the beginning of the long drive way to her house. I parked behind and got out, locking my car as I walked over to my vampire. I sighed to myself. Forgetting she would hear.
"What's wrong?" Alice asked, the worry evident in her tone. The smile she had was gone and replaced with a concerned expression. I smiled.
"It wasn't a bad sigh, honest. More like content." I told her as I wrapped my arms around her small figure. I felt Alice relax into me and her hands rested on my waist.
"Oh. Well that's okay then I guess. You ready?" She asked me, looking up slightly from her height. I nodded and Alice bent a little to pick me up.
I closed my eyes for the ride; I wasn't a fan of this style of travelling. When stopped and Alice put me down, I had to lean against a tree to recollect myself. Alice's face was apologetic while she ran her hand softly through my hair.
When we started walking, Alice laced our fingers and we talked, better than we had in days. We talked about things that didn't really matter right now but we both needed the distraction. We both needed each other's company.
I just finished telling Alice about my mother's phone call last week when her face changed from relaxed to one of thought. Her brow furrowed slightly. I was about to ask her what she was thinking about when she smiled again, looking ahead.
"You wouldn't believe what I did this afternoon. I actually con-" Alice's smile was wiped clean off her beautiful face for a second time. I turned to face what she had her eyes locked onto...
Eva and...Stella.
"Fancy seeing you here!" Eva shouted, I'm guessing she wanted me to hear this conversation. All the images of that dream I had so long ago flooded through my mind and I glared at Eva with hatred.
"What the fuck are you doing here, Eva?" Alice growled at her. I noticed that Stella was slumped over and Eva was seemingly holding her up, making her stand. My grip tightened on Alice's hand.
"Just a little chat, darling. It's been so long. I've missed you dearly!" Eva again shouted but this time a little less startling. I knew she had a beautiful voice but it was the sound of evil to me.
"Sure. What's wrong with Stella? Why is she with you?" Alice seemed a little more at ease now, I don't know why. Maybe it was an act. I was still somewhat panicking.
"Oh, well. We're quite good friends, Stella and I. She's just feeling a little down about Williams M.I.A status." Eva explained and laughed to herself. I saw Stella looking at us. Her eyes were pained, desperate, not hurt only emotionally but also physically. She didn't want to be here. It told us everything we needed to know.
"You know where he is!" Alice shouted at Eva and I heard the loudest noise come from her. Like...no, exactly a roar. Alice pulled on my hand, making me slid behind her small figure, also disconnecting our hands. I could hear Eva chuckling at Alice's anger. I held Alice's shoulders, I saw them drop slightly.
"Hey, all I know is that Kyan took him somewhere. That's it. I swear." Eva spoke, still grinning at us and holding Stella. I saw her drop down a little more like her legs were giving up. I knew Alice wouldn't have missed it if I caught it.
"That's shit and you know it! What have you done to Stella!?" Alice demanded, stepping forward slightly causing my hands to fall from her. We were only about three meters away from the other two.
"She's just a little tired." Eva insisted. Even I knew she was lying through her venomous teeth.
"Give her to me." I heard Alice say in a lower voice then previously. Did she not want me to hear that? There was something in her tone that was questionable but I couldn't figure it out.
"Why should I? You left us, remember? You left Stella with us!" What the...I thought I knew the whole story but it didn't seem like that any longer. I was missing some information here, that I was sure of.
"I had to leave her! I couldn't live like that anymore!" Alice was reasoning? I was getting really confused as I watched this all play out from behind Alice.
"Oh, Alice, darling. You really are quite pathetic." Eva stated, making my body burn with anger. She threw Stella away from herself, Alice had caught her before she hit the ground.
"Take her. I have no use for her anymore." Eva said with a smirk. I was getting a little pissed off that something was being kept from me. Again. Alice moved back to my side and my eyes never strayed from her. Or the way she was holding Stella. So close and...loving. I suddenly felt the cold of the night air wrap around me and seep through my skin.
Alice turned to me saying something about Eva. That she had left maybe. I'm not sure. We started walking. Walking back to the house. The Cullen's house. I kept stumbling over tree roots and small rocks. Never completely falling. I couldn't see very well with only the moonlight guiding me. Shouldn't Alice have remembered that? Did she even care while she had Stella? Obviously not.
It seemed like hours before we got back to the house. In silence. No-one had talked. The entire way back. I could have sworn I saw their mouths moving when there was a large break in the treetops. The moon lit up their faces for a few seconds. What the fuck were they talking about that I wasn't allowed to hear?
The rest of the Cullen's came rushing out the door to us. They seemed blurry...Oh why now? My eyes were filled with tears. Everyone pretty much headed straight for Alice and Stella while I was off to the side. I stepped away from them, feeling a little overwhelmingly numb. I could hear their voices but they were like murmurs. I just wasn't listening. I didn't want to hear. I saw Edward and Jasper walking to me from the house.
I felt their cold hands on my shoulders and back. I think I was crying. I could see the rest of the family look at me, and to Alice, then they proceeded to take Stella inside. When I saw Alice I wished I hadn't. She was looking at the ground, pain flashing across her face. Edward turned and looked at Alice. I started to breathe faster; I could feel my heart thumping. I felt myself feebly struggle against their hold.
Jasper was looking at me, Edward let his hands fall from my shoulder and back. He walked over to Alice. I focused on Jasper's eyes as he held me closer. The light from the house made his golden eyes visible. We were both safe. From danger but not pain. I remembered he could feel this. I felt silent tears leaking down my face. Edward had turned back to face me. His expression was...sympathy.
I surrendered to Jasper's embrace. I felt like I had been broken and ignored by the one I love the most. Broken trust.

Jasper had carried me inside, taking me all the way upstairs to his room. Edward followed and closed the door behind him. I had ceased my tears for the moment and my face stung. I think I was expressionless. Jasper lay me down on his bed, it was comfortable. Such a contrast to my vampire company.
Edward pulled the chair from the desk and sat beside the bed. His stone hand held my fragile one. Jasper sat beside me on the bed, his hand on my arm. I knew I needed to talk to Alice. It would happen soon. I was in her house after all. But I was in her brothers room...our brothers room. Because of her lying to me. She would wait.
"Ed...Did you know?" I asked in a small shaking voice. He looked right into my eyes.
"No, I didn't. I'd heard Alice thinking about Stella, but it was all of them really. But nothing sounded suspicious. But, then again, I wasn't exactly looking out for anything. I try not to invade." Edward explained softly to me. I looked over to Jasper. He shook his head, answering my unasked question.
"I thought she might have tried to...talk to me...or look at me even." I admitted to them both. Jasper responded first.
"She wants you to go to her...when you're ready." This fact infuriated me. I think they saw it on my face because Edward's eyes widened a tad. I sat up, their hands shifted off me to allow my movement.
"What the fuck!?" I hissed in anger, not really at them. "Fuck being ready! She is going to come to me!" Edward nodded slightly in response. "I'm not the one who needs to explain anything, like why I lie to someone I love and then betray them right in front of their eyes! And don't even TRY TO MAKE ME FEEL OKAY!" I finished shouting. I'd forgotten that the whole Cullen family could hear this conversation, if they were still in the house.
I saw my anger on Jasper's face. I was gasping for breath after that shouting and all this emotion running through me. It's safe to say that I was exhausted. I moved back so I was leaning on the wall beside Jasper. He took a hold of my hand while I evened my breathing. It didn't help them at all if my heart rate went up.
I fell asleep on Jasper's hard shoulder. To be honest I couldn't even feel it by that point in the night.
WOO! Thee update! I hope you enjoy, Let me know what you think of it :) Sorry it took so long though!
