Bella POV
"When Victoria left, Edward left with her." Charlotte said timidly and I froze and stared at her in shock. Edward joined Victoria? But what about the Cullens? His family? He ditched them just like he did me. I knew he hated me, but to join Victoria in her quest to kill me was just stupid!
I felt Jasper shaking my shoulders and zoned back into the conversation.
"Sorry. I was thinking." I said quietly.
"What do you mean Edward left with Victoria? Are you sure they didn't just go hunting or something?" Jasper asked Laurent.
"He told the family he was going to travel with her for a while. And he can read her mind so he knows her plans." Laurent said and I had to agree.
"He did join her. He is going to help her with hunting Bella." Peter said with conviction and I knew that it was one of the things he just 'knew'.
"So what do we do?" I asked and everyone turned to look at me. Charlotte and Rosalie looked terribly worried and the guys just looked murderous.
"We need to call all of our allies again and tell them to keep an eye out for Edward too. We need to warn them of his ability as well." Peter said and I could feel Jasper nod.
"And tell them that it is very important that we know what they are doing. We need someone to join them, but with Edward reading everyones mind it will be difficult to get someone near them that is scouting for us." Jasper said and that gave me a thought.
"Do any of you know any shields?" I asked the group. They looked surprised and then thoughtful. "You know what I mean right? A mental or physical shield. Someone that could keep Eddie out of their heads. Like me, but a vampire." I said and Peter grinned at me.
"How did you know they were called shields?" He asked me and I smiled.
"It seemed appropriate." I mumbled and he laughed quietly.
"Bella Hun, you should sleep while we start making plans and calling people. Alright?" Laurent suggested and I nodded knowing that I would be of no help anyway.
"See you guys later then. Don't hesitate to wake me if any of you need anything." I said and got up off of Jasper. He stood as well and we walked up to the room together. I walked to the dresser and pulled out a black t'shirt and a pair of white shorts. I grabbed underwear as well and walked to the bathroom. I turned on the water and hopped in. I stripped off the bathing suit and hung it on shower curtain rod. I took one of the quickest showers I had ever taken and I dried off quickly. I dressed and walked out into the bedroom while brushing my hair.
Jasper was watching me from his seat on the bed and I smiled at him as I finished brushing. I Shook my head so my hair would dry naturally and then I walked over and crawled next to him on the bed.
"What if Edward just wants to take you back? What if that is why he left with Victoria?" Jasper said and I looked at his face. He looked distressed and worried. But I could tell by his comment, that he was just afraid that I would leave him.
"Jazz." I whispered and placed my hand over his. He looked down at our hands between us, before looking up and locking eyes with me. "I will not leave you Jasper. I already told you that." I said firmly. His eyes looked so sad.
"Yeah but what if Edward wants-" He started but I glared at him and he stopped.
"Edward can 'want' all he wants. I am not leaving you. No one but you can make me leave." I said and he smiled slightly.
"I hope you know what you are getting into, because I am not going to make you leave. Ever." He said and leaned in closer to me. I smiled at him.
"Well I sure as hell hope not." I said and the sadness left his eyes. He smiled slightly before closing the distance between us and pushed his lips to mine. I smiled against his lips and pulled him closer causing him to sigh. Our lips moved forcefully together and his hands moved up into my hair. He pulled gently and I tilted my head to allow him to deepen the kiss. My tongue flicked against his lips and he growled almost silently as he opened his mouth and our tongues met. I moaned and he leaned backwards and pulled me with him without breaking the kiss. I was half on top of him and his hands were roaming down my sides until they rested on my waist. I broke away from the kiss panting and he trailed kisses down my neck. He nipped at my collarbone gently and I groaned.
I dipped down and captured his lips in another searing kiss. His pushed my shirt up a little and I felt his fingers trailing back and forth over the skin on my lower back. He slipped his tongue past my lips, and wanting to know his reaction, I sucked on it lightly. He moaned loudly and then growled and when he stopped I found myself wanting to try different things just to hear the sound again. I rubbed my tongue against his and he held me tighter to him. He broke off the kiss before I could, and we stared at each other as we both panted.
"Jesus Darlin'. How are you doing this to me." He said and I smiled.
"I'm happy to know that you are enjoying this as much as I am." I smiled and he gave me a chaste kiss.
"So how should we torture the others?" I asked and rolled off of him. I got under the covers and he got under too. He pulled me against him and I rested my head on his chest.
"Just no kissing in front of them and act oblivious. It should drive them crazy." He said and I laughed. I could use this also as a way to drive him crazy. After driving the girls crazy for a while I might just have to have them help me turn the tables on Jasper.
"Sounds like a good plan. We can set it into motion as soon as I wake up." I said and yawned loudly. He laughed and kissed up and down the side of my neck. I relaxed against him and slowly drifted off to sleep.
I woke up to the feeling of the sun on my face and a slight breeze was caressing my skin. I rolled over and tried to bury my face into my pillow only to press it into grass. My eyes flashed open and I sat up as fast as I could and looked around. I was laying on the floor of a forest somewhere. Next to me was a small pond with tiny streams flowing in, and out of it. I felt eyes on me and turned all the way around. There was a person standing in the shadow of a tree about thirty feet away. I scrambled to my feet and faced them fully. From what I could see it was a male, around 6 feet tall with dark hair. He had on a tattered short sleeved white T-shirt and holey blue jeans. He was bare foot.
"Uh, Hi." I said awkwardly and the person stepped forward out of the shadows and into a stream of light. His skin threw the light off of him and cast small rainbows on the floor and trees around him.
"Ah. So you are a vampire. I have never seen you before." I said and wondered how I had gotten here in the first place. "Where is Jasper?" I asked him and he was standing 5 feet away from me in a flash.
"You are dreaming." He said and I nodded. That made sense.
Now that he was closer I could his features clearer. He had straight, dark brown hair down to his shoulders. And his eyes were a dark red. His Jawline was strong and square and his nose was small and rounded.
"That's good to know. But normally when I dream, I dream about people I know. Not random vampires that I have never seen before. And normally if I do dream about the vampires I know, they have fed recently. You have not." I pointed out and he smiled at me.
"You are a smart one. Fine. This isn't your normal dream." He said vaguely and I snorted out a short laugh and rolled my eyes.
"No shit. Anyone could have told you that. So what kind of dream is this?" I asked him and he grinned at me, flashing his teeth.
"First let me make sure I have the right person. You are Bella Swan yes?" He asked and I froze and eyed him cautiously.
"Yes," I said eventually.
"Good. I am an ally to you then. This is my gift. It is strange but I can get into humans dreams when they sleep and I can get into a vampires head if they are extremely relaxed." He explained and I nodded.
"How are you my ally if you just now figured out that I really am Bella Swan?" I asked him.
"My name is Chase Jacobs. I am an ally to you and you alone. I am a nomad. I have recently been recruited into a group of vampires that a female vampire named Victoria is getting together. One named Edward has come to us today. I overheard him talking to her and I learned the real reason that she has gathered us all. I know she wants to kill you, and I know that Edward used you as entertainment. I was treated the same way by a vampire while I was human. I was alone and ended up being changed as a last resort. I wish to help you. You need all the help you can get." He said and I found myself believing him.
"Alright Chase. But be careful around Edward. He is gifted. He can read minds. So while around him replay songs over and over in your head or think of truly mundane things. Never let your guard down. I believe he told me once that he can only read in a 3 mile radius. But he could have been lying. Be careful. If your truly on my side, then you are on the side of Jasper too. You have more than one ally." I said and he looked guarded.
"I am unsure. I have trouble trusting vampires. That is why I exist only as a nomad." He said sadly and I walked to him and put my hand on his cheek in comfort.
"As long as I am around you will always have someone to trust. Weather I am a vampire or not. But I also have a few people who I trust with my entire being. I think If you met them you would too. You just haven't met the right vampires yet." I smiled at him and his lips curled up into a half smile.
"Be safe Bella. I will visit you again soon. Go ahead and wake up."
"Just be careful Chase." I whispered and he nodded.
The dream faded and I could feel someone shaking my by my shoulders.
"Bella. Wake up!" Jasper said panicked. My eyes fluttered open and met with his. He immediately relaxed and pulled me into a hug.
"Your emotions shut off. It was like you weren't here anymore. I couldn't feel you at all and you wouldn't wake up or respond at all. I was so scared." He whispered into my neck and I hugged him gently. I pulled away from him and grinned at him.
"We need to go talk to the others." I said and he eyed me curiously. "I will tell you with the others. Now hurry up!" I said excitedly and jumped out of bed. I made it to the door before him and opened it. I looked back at him and he was looking at me with a strange look in his eyes.
"Jasper, if you would get your ass off the bed and down to the others, I could explain to you why you stopped feeling me and why I didn't respond to you." I taunted and he was at my side in a second. He swung me up into his arms and we were down in the living room sitting on the love seat before I could blink.
"Oi! Guys get in here!" Jasper called and the others filed in, about a half a minute later. They sat down and everyone looked at us curiously. I grinned brightly at them all and looked at Jasper who was eyeing me with a small smile on his lips.
"I have a new Vampire friend. And he can tell me inside info about our dear friend Victoria." I said excitedly and everyone looked at me with shock plastered onto their faces. I laughed and bounced slightly in my seat next to Jasper.
"How?" Peter finally gasped.
"Jasper tell them about what happened while I was asleep." I ordered and he did so without question.
"We were laying in the bed upstairs and I could feel her emotions perfectly one second, and the next they were completely gone. If she hadn't been laying next to me I wouldn't have even thought she was anywhere near the house. Her emotions were completely gone. I tried to wake her up and she didn't respond to anything at all. Then her emotions came back and she woke up saying she needed to talk to everyone." He finished and everyone looked at me for an explanation.
"Well in a way, I wasn't here. Or my spirit wasn't or something. I woke up in a forest and the sun was shining. There was someone with me. He told me his name was Chase Jacobs. He is a vampire and his gift is he can get into humans heads and pretty much hold person to person conversations with them in the form of a dream. He can do it to Vamps too, but only ones who are deeply relaxed. Anyway he said he is with a group of vamps that Victoria has gathered. He overheard Edward talking to her about me today and he told me that he went through a similar thing when he was human. He said he would be my ally. He told me he would tell me about what they were planning and I told him how to work around Edwards gift. He is a nomad. He said that I was the only person he could find worth trusting and that only I had him as an ally." I said it all rushed and by the end they were all shocked into silence again.
"So it isn't just Edward that she has gathered?" Laurent asked and I shook my head.
"No there are more, but apparently Edward is the only one who knows the real reason why they were all gathered. The others don't know the real reason. Which makes me wonder what she is really doing." I trailed off and the others nodded.
"Be careful what you tell him Bells. We don't know if we an really trust him." Emmett said and I scowled at him.
"I trust him. I can feel it deeply that he is no harm to me. I trust this feeling. It is the same deep feeling that I have had for all of you from the very start." I said defensively.
"Yeah but bells you had that same feeling for Alice and Edward as well." Rosalie said calmly and I seriously wished that someone would hit her. And like reading my mind Char reached over and smacked her upside the head.
"HEY! What was that for?" Rosalie growled at her and Char winked at me.
"How can you assume that you know what Bella felt for those two?" Charlotte hissed at her. Rosalie looked at me and I glared at her.
"For your information Rosalie. Being around Edward, the only thing I felt was him dazzling me and the happiness of the family that I got when I hung around him. I had you guys and for that I was grateful to him. But he only ever made me feel terrible about myself. Same with Alice. There was never the soul deep pull that I feel for all of you." I said and she nodded.
"Well in that case. I say tell your dream guy I say hello." She said and I burst into laughter. She looked at me confused.
"Sorry Rose, its just the way you phrased that." I said and she looked thoughtful before grinning widely at me.
"But guys, if she is gathering a bunch of Vampires, what should we be doing?" I asked them and all of them got far away looks as they disappeared into their thoughts.
So what do you think of her 'Dream Guy'?
