Chapter 10

JAZZ POV

Never had I expected Bella to be the one that would truly understand me. Somehow we connected on a level that I didn't even know existed. She understood me in a way no one else ever had and it kind of scared me. It makes me feel exposed. For the first time someone could see me. Past all the walls that I had put up around myself. She had some how found her way through and was staring right at me, the real me. The only thing I knew is that there was no way to stop whatever it was we had started. We sat in the cave waiting for her next question. I watched her as she went through her mind tring to decide what to asked next. The feeling coming from her were of excitement and wonder. Though behind that there was still the pain and sadness. Somehow her questions were elevating some of the heartache she felt and for that I was grateful.

I had told her to ask whatever she wanted. I was very interested at what questions she might ask. I was even excited to hear what my answers to them would be. How much had Edward told her. So I waited wondering what was running through her head. I couldn't believe how much I anticipated her next question. It seemed like I had been waiting forever when she finally spoke.

" If we have been here for over 18 hours. How come no one has found us yet or do you not think they are even looking for us" She asked slowly. As if she wasn't sure if she wanted to hear the answer or not.

" Well, Yes I think they are looking for us and probably very worried. As to why they haven't found us. I am not positive but I do have a theory" I answered .

" Well then I would like to hear it" She said now interested.

" First of all I think the rain helped. Its been raining on and off since we got here. That and I think somehow when you ran away. When you ran you were in such pain and shock. You were all alone and deeply hurting. Well I think that your mind knew you needed protection and it gave you the only protection it could. Somehow using your shield to hide you. By stretching itself over you and blocking anything from getting to you. That's why I think Alice couldn't see you and I couldn't feel you. To tell you the truth I am not even sure I could see or smell you either. I search the area you were several time and found nothing. The only reason I found you was because I finally felt you and I only think that was because you were exhausted and I don't think you you had the energy to keep the shield up" I said awaiting her reaction.

"Well that explains why you couldn't find me but what about you" She asked

" That one I don't know and was wondering too. The only thing I could come up with is that maybe somehow your shielding me too." I said completely unsure.

As Jasper told me why he thought no one had found us. I was blown away and not sure what to think. I mean was it even possible and what did that mean. I thought for a moment and then I had to ask.

" Do you really think I can do that now as a human. Is that even possible" I asked eagerly awaiting his answer.

" Its possible, I don't really even know. I have I never heard of such a thing. No. But that's the only explanation I have got my dear. All I know is that after I found you and you smiled at me. I have been able to feel you just fine. At first I thought you had just put your shield down but the longer we are here and undetected. It makes me think something has to be going on because if they are looking and I am sure they are. They should have found us by now" Jasper said.

" If some how some way I am doing what you think I am doing. How could I and not even know it. I didn't even know I could shield myself, let alone someone else. All I remember is the pain and then the exhaustion. In the end though I had given up. There wasn't any point is going on and then the next thing I knew I felt calm. When I opened my eyes you were there. I was so relieved and grateful it was you standing there. You were exactly who I needed and I never would have expected it. Maybe I knew you needed protection too and my shield just grew. Though I still cant believe that I can do that. I just don't see how. It doesn't make any sense" I said still unsure.

" Maybe it doesn't have to make sense. If it works it works right. If you are truly projecting that kind of shield and one that strong now as a human. As a vampire you would be extremely powerful" Jasper said with a wicked smile.

Wow could this all be true could I really be more than just ordinary. I just couldn't believe that but how awesome would that be. If I could really do that. Jasper and I could stay hidden for as long as we needed to fix ourselves. I know that right now that is what we needed more than anything was time. Time to figure out what we was going to do now. Would we ever want to go back and face what was left behind. Or maybe we could make a new life for ourselves. It so weird to think of Jasper and I as a we. So much has changed since yesterday. I still cant completely wrap my mind around it. Right now it really doesn't matter because yesterday I had given up and today I had hope. I had Jasper my shining star that would lead me back to where I belong, back to home.
