enough of my rambling, here's chapter 14!

Alice POV

Jasper was silent for a moment before answering.

"Well, we met in a small, half-empty diner in Philadelphia..."

I listened to him for what seemed like hours in fascination. We entwined our fingers together while he told me of our first moments together, how much I have helped lighten his world, and all the way up to when we found the Cullens and life with them. I giggled when he said that when we showed up at the Cullen's doorstep, I was asking which room to move into.

When he finished, I could only stare at him, processing everything. It was a lot of information to take at once. I broke out into a smile and tilted my head up to kiss his sweet lips.

"That was beautiful."

Jasper smiled as we both gazed back up at the sky. Our fingers still laced, we layed in silence. It wasn't an awkward silences, but a very comfortable one. We were enjoying each other's company and we didn't feel the need to fill up the silence with words. Every now and then, we'd gaze upon each other and let our emotions and eyes do all the talking.

We stayed like that, until the sun started to rise in the cloudless sky.

Maria POV

The day was coming soon. The day were I get my revenge on that bitch who stole my best soldier away from me. My eyes narrowed in anger as I let a growl rip through my mouth. I dug my nails into the branch of the tree I was on. The snap it made soothed me slightly. Taking out my anger was healthy for me. However, it still did not diminish the anger I had within. Another growl ripped through me.

I wasn't in Forks, but I was in Port Angeles, hanging around in the nearby forest. It's dangerous for me to stay near Forks. Jasper would notice my scent and my plan would be ruined. Plan A was already ruined.

"Caleb!" I shrieked in rage, jumping off the tree and landing on the ground.

The shaggy blonde was at my side in an instant.

"What is it, Maria?"

I growled menacingly once more as I lifted my sharp nails and struck him across the face. He howled in pain as his hand shot up to his new scratches.

"What was that for?!"

"For failing me! She's starting to remember, you idiot! If you would've done your job right, she would be in misery!"

Caleb bowed his head in shame. I rolled my eyes and lightened my voice.

"How's she doing?" I asked as a smirk spread across my face.

Caleb mimicked my smirk. "Her struggles are starting to decrease."

"I think we should pay her a visit to make her more.." I paused. "Comfortable." I sneered as we both cackled with evil laughter.

I turned on my heel and walked deeper into the trees, Caleb following me. After a while, the crunch of leaves wasn't the only noise.

"Let me go!"

I smirked. She was getting feisty again. We arrived at a small clearing in time to see Bella in the middle of another futile attempt at escaping. Two of my comrades were at her flanks, restraining her. The man on her right was Jayden. He was using his special talent on Bella. His talent was being able to control the strength of other vampires. Bella had as much strength as a human.

The man on her left was Justin. He is also using his power on her. His talent is to disable other talents. He's allowing Bella's mind sheild to be up, but she can't stretch it out or lift it off of her, which was definitely necessary so her mind reading boyfriend doesn't come to her rescue.

"Let me go, Maria!" she screamed again.

I roared in laughter. "I don't think you're in the position to be giving orders, honey."

She scowled. "Mark my words, they will see through your trap and they will come to get me."

I walked over to her and leaned down to her eye level and smirked. "Honey, that's exactly what I hope to happen. I just want to keep them calm for now, which was the point of sending Selena."

Her eyes darkened as realization hit her. The trap wasn't me kidnapping Bella. The Cullen's rescuing her was the trap.

Selena was a very unusual vampire. She is able to change her appearance to copy another's and copy their scent. She is with the Cullens right now, acting as a spy on Jasper and his bitch. Her appearance was changed to Bella's and she will report back to me with updates. When the time is right, I'll pull Selena out and Plan B will be in effect.

Starting to get bored standing here, I decided to torture Bella for a little bit.

"Tell me Bella, how does it feel knowing that right this very second, your Edward is all over another woman?"

She gasped and snapped her eyes to me. I smirked, taking full advatage of her predicament. Apparently, she didn't think of that.

"How does it feel to know that Edward will be sleeping with someone else tonight? His hands and lips will be all over another woman's body." I continued.

She let out a strained sob, much to my satisfaction. In the corner of my eye, I saw Caleb having trouble keeping his laughter contained.

"He will be saying I love you repeatedly to someone else. Tell me Bella, how does that make you feel?"

"You are such a terrible person." she whispered, hoarsely.

Satisfied, I turned around and headed back to where that tree was and perched myself on a different branch.

Soon, everything will fall into place.

Soon, I will have Jasper wrapped around my finger.

Soon, I will have absolute control.
