Chapter 10

Jaspers POV

I had just gotten a phone call from Billy. We would stay put for a few more days and then leave once more. There were many people searching for our two captives and Billy didn't want to stay in one place for too long. But more importantly, Billys phone call brought me back to reality. What was I doing talking and interacting with Alice? No, it had to stop. There was no excuse for interacting with them other than what was nesessary. If Edward can do it, so can I. Right?

Alices POV

When Jasper left, I found myself lost in thought. I started thinking more about my family. Well, Bellas family, but they were like family to me too. They must miss us terribly and be giving so much up trying to find us. Charlie was very protective of his daughter and her bestfriend. And here I was, not even attempting to escape. To get back to where I belong. To get back home.

I needed to get over the small, strange and wrong attraction I felt towards Jasper and look at it all logically. He kidnapped me. What the hell was I thinking? I needed to concern myself with trying to get me and Bella back home. It's not as if these guys want anything from us other than...well I don't know why they took us, but it can not be good for Bella and I.

With my mind made up I turned to Bella and motioned for her to come sit by me. I was next to the window, which was farthest away from where Edward was sitting. When Bella sat down, I wasted no time with filling her in on my thoughts.

"Listen, I think we need to escape," I whispered to her.

She looked at me like I was crazy. "How though? Do you see them? They are strong. And we are anything but," she whispered back. "Besides, they never leave us alone for long."

"Yes, but maybe we'll have the element of surprise. I bet you anything that they expect us to not even try. But we have to get home. We have to try." She nodded.

"Okay," I started, "So I think we should try when their both out in the hall. If they think we are sleeping, then they may stay out there longer. We can get out through the window."

Bella didn't look convinced. "Do you really think that would work?" I really didn't know if we had a good chance of succeeding. But there is no other way and we have to try something.

"What choice do we have?" I whispered back. She nodded her head again.

"Alright so go about things ordinarily. Give them no reason to be suspicious.Then when you see me pretend to fall asleep, do the same after awhile." She nodded. "Okay so go back over there. Whispering could make them suspicious," I said and gave her a little push.

And we did just that. I knew they would have to talk in private because it was nearing the end of the week, and that was when they would get a phone call. I didn't know how long we were 'sleeping' before I heard the door open.

"Hey Edward, come out here a sec," Jasper whispered. This was good. They really thought we were sleeping. I heard Edward stand up and walk out. After a few seconds I looked up to see the door cracked slightly and whispers coming from the hallway. They couldn't see directly in the room. Excellent.

"Okay Bella. Let's do it," I whispered. She stood up. "Try not to fall okay? This could be our only chance." She rolled her eyes but knew my words held truth.

She tip-toed over to me by the window, luckily not falling. I let out a sigh of relief. I gave her the thumbs up before turning my attention to the window. Please don't be sqeaky, Please don't be sqeaky, I pleaded in my mind. I started to lift up the window very slowly. So far so good. I could practically hear my fingers shaking. Bella placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. I had to do this for my best friend.

I lifted it up even more, still silently, and opened until it was big enough to fit through. I looked down and saw bushes below the window. Well, at least it would catch our fall. I looked back at Bella. Catching my look, she looked out the window as well, and gulped.

"It's okay Bella. We can do it. It's not that far, honestly," I whispered encouragingly. She nodded.

"Alright. I can do this," she whispered back.

"Good girl. Now I'll go first," I said. I hestitantly placed my hands on window sill and lifted myself up through. My upper body was now hanging outside the window. Don't look down, Don't look down. Oh crap. I looked down. And it definitely seemed farther down now that I was hanging out the window. But there was no turning back now. We didn't have much time. I moved so I was sitting on the ledge with my legs dangling down.

"Well, here it goes" I said before closing my eyes and jumping. I landed with a thud in the bushes. It did break my fall a little at least. I stood up, wiping myself off before turning back to the window.

"Okay Bella, your turn" I whispered while waving my hands. She started to pull herself through.

"Ouch." I looked down and found a small rock in my shoe. I bent down to remove it. I stood back up.

"Oh shit," I said as I came face to face with Jasper. I glanced over to see Bella being set down by Edward. I looked back at Jasper. He took me firmly by my wrist, dragging me towards the door.

"Ouch. Loosen up will ya" I snapped. His grip loosened slightly, but he said nothing. Bella and I were both pushed back into the dreaded room, with Edward following.

Bellas POV

"Good girl. Now I'll go first," Alice said. Boy did that look like a long fall. Okay so maybe it wasn't that far, but that didn't help my nerves any. Alice moved out the window, her feet dangling in the air.

"Well, here it goes" she said before she jumped. I looked down to see that she had landed in the bushes. Relief washed over me as she stood up, dirty, but unharmed. If she could do it, then so could I.

"Okay Bella, your turn" she whispered. I took a deep breath and started climbing out the window as I had seen Alice do. I heard Alice mutter something as I closed my eyes and jumped. I let out a quiet yelp as I fell, waiting for the pain. But I didn't fall in the bushes. Surprised, I opened my eyes to see myself in Edwards arms, bridal style. Despite the fact that our escape attempt failed, I blushed. He set me down just as I heard Alice mutter "Oh shit".

I looked at Alice to see her being dragged by Jasper back in the house. Edward placed his hands on my shoulders pushing me in the same direction.

"Ouch. Loosen up will ya" Alice snapped ahead of me.

"So what was that about?" a musical voice whispered in my ear. I shivered involuntarily but kept my voice irriated as I replied.

"What? We had to try didn't we?" I snapped. He laughed softly.

"Yes. I suppose you did," he replied. "You're both a mess now."

"Well it's not our fault we don't have any other clothes,"
I snapped back.

"I'll see what I can do," he said back before pushing me in the room after Alice and walking back to his spot.

And he did just that. The next morning, I awoke to find a new pair of jeans and a shirt beside me. I knew Alice would be ecstatic. She could barely even narrow it down to one outfit in only one day. I looked up to see Jasper in the corner and Alice still asleep. Jasper looked at me as I sat up.

"Can I go to the bathroom to change?" I asked him. He only nodded. We sat in silence. Was he gonna let me go change or what?

"Uh hello?" I snapped.

"You'll go when Edward comes back" he said. I huffed. Alice was still asleep when Edward came in with food. I stood up as he entered.

"She wants to go change," Jasper told him as he took his plate. I walked out the door, towards the bathroom, with Edward close behind. I walked in the bathroom, slamming the door slightly. I took a quick shower and changed into the new clothes. Much better. I felt alot cleaner with the new clothes.

I opened the door to see Edward leaning against the wall in front of me. He smiled.

"Better?" He asked. I smiled despite myself.

"Much," I replied. He stared at me.

"That blue looks wonderful on you," he said. I blushed.

"I...er...uh..I..thanks," I muttered and started walking back towards the room, looking at the ground as I walked.

I walked back in, grabbed my plate and sat down beside Alice. She was still sleeping soundly.

Alices POV

I awoke to find a pair of fresh clothes beside me. Halleljuah! Well, I was happy until I remembered the events of last night. We attempted escape, and we failed. I sighed. I looked to see that Bella was already in new clothes and Jasper was in the corner of the room. I really wanted a nice hot shower and to change into my clothes. As if reading my thoughts, Bella spoke up.

"You'll have to wait until one of them leaves or enters to change," she explained.

"Great," I said sarcastically. I really needed a shower. And I really needed to get out of these clothes. How long has it been? Roughly two weeks I believe.

"It shouldn't be too long," Bella whispered. " I think we're leaving soon."

"Alright," I sighed. And she was right. I was able to go change when Edward came back. After Edward brought me back he stayed as Jasper walked out of the room. I watched as he left. I couldn't deny it, I missed talking to him. But he seemed to realize it was wrong to be interacting with eachother at the same time as I did. But I still want to talk to him again. No one ever made me feel the way he did. Ever.

I looked over at Bella. She was in a staring contest with Edward. I couldn't believe it. Was she in the same situation as me? I looked at Edward. He looked at Bella so tenderly. If he hadn't kidnapped us, I would have probably jumped around excitedly. I only sighed and went back over to the window. What should I do now?
