Chapter 14

Going Home

Jasper POV

I was awake. I could hear them talking but I couldn't make sense of any of it. I stay still, lying against the cold floor hoping they wouldn't realise I was conscious. I could hear a few tiny rocks falling to the ground, water dripping and the occasional scurrying of a rat. I breathed in slowly through my nose. Other than the rat, somebody was here.

I didn't dare open my eyes. I swore I could feel irritation from the unknown vampire with me in the mine. I really didn't want to irritate him more.

Then my thoughts turned to Alice and before I knew it I was on my feet snarling at the male vampire.

There was no hesitation from the vampire. He ran forwards and hoisted me up by the neck before I could even think about doing something. He smirked as he held me at arm's length against the stone wall.

"Did you think it was gonna be that easy?" he said, teasingly.

"Where's the other two?"

He smirked again. "Hunting"

I glared. "Who are you?"

"Oh such a stupid question, typical American" he said and I could hear a British accent. I looked him up and down. He wasn't thin though he also didn't look like a body builder. The muscles on his arm – the one that was attached to the hand that was firmly gripped around my throat – stood out prominently.

I was about to say something when that girl's voice interrupted.

"Demetri, what seems to be the problem" She asked, her eyes black.

The man who seemed to be called Demetri didn't take his eyes off of me. "Our prisoner isn't being very co-operative"

"No duh" the little boy said as he entered the room. "I have an idea! Let's give him a time out!"

"This is serious, Alec. We've got our plans" She glared at him.

Alec held up his hands in surrender mode. "You're the boss"

She ignored him and turned to Demetri. "Let him go"

Demetri hesitated.

"Now" she said her voice stern.

"Yes, ma'am..." Demetri said letting go of my neck. I landed on my feet, ready to make a run for it.

"Before he runs, Alec..." She said, irritated. Dahm

"No prob, sis"

Immediately I knew what he had done. My legs collapsed beneath me and I landed in a heap on the ground.

I tried to move - no such luck.

"Now this won't hurt a bit" The girl said, smiling.

I couldn't move as she tortured me. Every single atom in me seemed to have caught on fire. I just closed my eyes and screamed.

"Jane..." I heard Demetri say above my screams.

She ignored him as I writhed in agony.

"Jane" Demetri said, repeating Jane's stern tone.

I relaxed as it stopped.

"See," Jane said in my ear. "I lied"

Demetri frowned at Jane. "I thought you went hunting?"

Alec answered. "We had a look around. Felix is rounding them up as we speak"

"Take-away's! Nice..." Demetri said giving the boy a high five.

Jane rolled her eyes and looked down at me. "Thirsty?"

As she said it I could feel how thirsty I really was, I wanted to grab for my throat but was not able. I really had to drink... But I couldn't... Not again...

Jane turned around as I heard someone come in. I looked up and I immediately thought of Emmett as I saw this brooding figure. He had a girl over his shoulder and another two in one hand and two boys on the other.

Demetri licked his lips as he went toward the humans.

"Well done, Felix..." Jane said, looking at the warmblooded visitors. God... Why did they have to smell so... good.

And then I was glad I couldn't move. I could smell the blood of the humans as my throat burned. I closed my eyes as I heard their screams and the snarling of the vampires. Their screams were cut short by gurgling and coughing and I could hear the bloody dripping...

I screamed inside my head.

I tried to block it out...

Then I could move again. I opened my eyes and looked over at them. There was still one girl... I could... I swear I could...

Alec, Jane, Demetri and Felix stood back as the girl stood with her back to the wall. Her eyes full of fear and confusion. She looked so helpless... I couldn't...

But I could.

I knew I shouldn't... So I dug my fingers into the stone wall behind me. I musn't... I stopped breathing.

Jane smiled evilly and went over to the girl and grabbed her by the hair, pulling her towards me. The girl screamed. I dug my fingers in deeper.

With one swift move Jane got a knife out of her robe and stabbed the girl in the heart. Blood squirted everywhere and a drop landed on my lip.

I shouldn't... I musn't... But I couldn't help myself.

Before I knew it she was dead. And all I could think was: Why am I so weak? I looked at her limp body and I filled with shame. I threw it aside in anger and hit the wall with all my force.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO ME!" I yelled at the four vampires. "WHY!"

Jane smiled. "You are a vampire, Jasper. You can't ignore it." She stepped closer to me. "You are a cold blooded killer. We all are..."

I glared with hate at her.

"You're the Volturi, aren't you?"

Alec answered. "NO? Really...?"

Jane glared at her sarcastic brother.

"What?"

I spoke up. "What's your plan. What do you want?"

"I've already told you, Jasper. We want Alice. And she will join us"

"Over my ashes!"

"So you're not as stupid as you look..."

Alec tilted his head and looked straight at me. "Don't you get it?"

Demetri smirked. "She'll come gladly if we promise not to kill you"

I glared. "What does Maria have to do with this?"

"Pawns. She's promised to help us as long as she gets to kill you" Jane said.

"Then kill me already!"

"We'll hear from your dear little Alice what she wants us to do..."

"Can we go now?" Alec asked. "Please, please, please..."

Jane smiled. "Felix, get Maria..."

Alec's smirk was the last thing I saw before I blacked out.

Then I saw... A tree?

I sat up quickly with wide eyes. God, this was confusing.

"Whoa! Where's the fire!" Camilla said looking down at me.

I frowned. "What are you doing here? What am I doing here? Where is here?" I asked in confusion.

"Well, Mr All-Hale-Me, you seem to have gotten yourself into a pretty little pickle. But don't worry; short term memory loss is very common among morons. You'll be fine, just don't go swimming for half an hour"

"Hold on..." I jumped up quickly. "I was in a mine... thing and they said..." I thought about what they said and anger burst through me.

Camilla looked at me, her eyebrow arced over a red eye. "Illiteracy is just as common..."

"Where are they...?" I hissed

Camilla started blankly at me.

"The Volturi..."

"Oh yeah... 'They' gave us orders"

"Us?"

Maria stepped out. "Orders to go and kill either you... or Alice"

"Who makes the choice?"

Camilla smirked. "Weather conditions"

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at Camilla. A strong arm grabbed me and my instincts set in. I gripped his arm and flung him forward into the ground. I didn't know this vampire, but the way Maria was looking at him, made me sure that she definitely did. He kicked my legs out from under me and I landed on my face, before I could even open my eyes he pinned me down and grabbed my neck in such a way that if he sneezed, I would be firmly decapitated.

Camilla clapped hands and threw a dollar bill down on the ground before me. "Do it again!" She said whooping.

The large vampire let go of me and I stood up slowly. "Is this sport to you?"

"No. But I could begin one! Imagine! "Vampire Wrestling"! I'd make billions..."

Maria sighed impatiently. "C'mon, group... no... Comrades? No... Team? No, anyway, let's go. I wanna get this over with and retire to Greenland"

Camilla smiled. "Now, you first Sookie Stackhouse" She looked at me and motioned towards a clearing. I looked and a few miles off I saw... my house. I couldn't help but smile for a moment before realising how close they were to my house as well.

"No"

"Excuse me?"

"I said 'no', Camilla. I'm not going there if it means getting Alice hurt"

"What do you mean 'no'?"

"I mean 'no'..."

"You're saying 'no' like you have a choice. Move it!"

I walked towards the house clearing. I saw Alice, and I couldn't help but call out her name.
