Chapter 28: Alive? & Mate?
Normal POV
Everyone soon makes their way back to the house. They had been away 3 hours. Trying to find any leads to where Charlotte might be. Garrett thinks Alice is amazing. She has been trying to find Charlotte but she is not getting anything. But she is not giving up. They are on their way to check with Peter to see if Charlotte had ever been in that area.
When they arrive home they return to see Jasper, Peter and Bella sitting in the living room. Peter's head in his heads. He has stopped dry sobbing.
"Did you find anything?" Jasper asks
"We think we have found something. We have a question for Peter", Garrett says
"What?" Peter asks in emotionless voice
"Did Charlotte ever go hunting near the river where the accident happened?" Garrett asks
Peter looks at them funny.
"You know she didn't. We didn't hunt separately. Char and I never went near that area", Peter replies brokenly
"Why do you need to know this?" Jasper asks
"What did you find at the accident site?" Bella asks one hand on her belly
"Where you were ran off the road we smelt Edward's scent", Jacob says
Jasper and Peter growl. Bella gasps.
"Edward ran us off the road?" Bella says shocked
"I will kill him. He took Char off me", Peter says growling
"That's not all", Alice says
"What else?" Jasper asks
They can all feel the calm he is spreading out.
"At the bottom of the cliff we spelt Victoria and Charlotte", Rosalie says gently
Peter's head whips up. Jasper growls and Bella gasps again.
"Victoria's scent was strong. Charlotte's scent was a bit fainter but still there", Carlisle explains
"It ended about two miles from the river with Edward's scent", Jacob adds
"Must have had a car waiting", Alice adds
"Char's alive?" Peter says with disbelief and hope in his voice
Jasper puts a hand on his back.
"We are not sure. But it is a possibility", Garrett says
"Can't you see anything Alice?" Peter growls frustrated and full of grief standing up
Garrett automatically moves in front of Alice protecting her from a grief ridden Peter.
Jasper and Bella exchange a look. Both knowing that was like mates were like. Jasper gets up quickly and puts a hand on Peter and everyone can feel the calm he is sending off.
"Calm down Peter. This is more then we could have hoped for. Ad least we can hope Char is alive", Jasper says calming Peter down
"But she is would be with Victoria and Edward", Peter says softly
Suddenly Alice goes stiff behind Garrett and he quickly put his arms around her.
"What do you see Alice?" Garrett asks her
"Maria just met up with Victoria. And I see a dark cell. But I can't tell who's in it", Alice says
Jasper and Peter growl loudly at Maria's name nearly letting the Major and the Captain loose. Garrett quickly pulls Alice once again behind him. He will not let her be harmed by the Major and his Captain. Bella slowly gets up and takes Jasper's hand and places it on her stomach.
"Calm down Major. The babies need you", she says
That snaps Jasper out of it.
"Did the babies just kick?" Jasper asks shocked
"Yes they did. They know their father needs them. Now help Peter out of it", Bella says sitting down
Jasper quickly looks around and sends a huge dose of calm to everyone. Peter and everyone quickly calm down.
"I want the honour of destroying them", Peter says life now in his eyes
"As long as I get Maria", Jasper says smiling at the life in his brothers eye
"Deal", Peter says holding out his hand
Jasper quickly shakes it.
"Deal", Jasper says
"Now that is done. We need to talk about Garrett and Alice", Bella says with a grin
Jasper grins too.
"What about us?" Garrett asks
"You're mates", Jasper says grinning at the both of them
"What?" they both ask shocked
"Come on even I can tell. You protected her when Jasper and Peter were angry and you held her when she had a vision", Bella says to Garrett
All the Cullen's smile at the thought of Alice finding her mate.
"Take it slow and get to know each other that's what I would advise", Jasper suggests
"Cherish the time you have together. I might have lost Char and I still don't think we had enough time together", Peter says
"What to go hunt?" Alice asks Garrett
"Sure you can show me how to hunt animals", Garrett replies
They both quickly leave. Causing everyone to smile.
"Now that, that is taken care off. I think I need to feed these babies", Bella says
"Sit down I will cook you something", Jasper says moving into the kitchen
"Jasper I think we should work out some kind of patrol. Just so vampires don't get too close to the ranch", Peter says to him
"The pack will do that", Jacob offers
"The pack will do the days and the rest of us will take turns at night", Carlisle offers
"That will work. But make sure you capture the vampire alive. We need to know were Victoria, Maria, Edward and probably Charlotte is", Peter says
"On it", the pack say going outside
The rest go and unpack what they had bought here. While Jasper cooks for Bella and Peter heads up to his room to think about everything that has happened…
Charlotte's POV
I didn't think I would survive the crash. But the next thing I know I was waking up in a cold dark cell. I don't know where I am or if Bella is alright. I hope she is ok and with Peter. That's when some vampires enter and I recognise one of them as Maria and another as Bella's ex Edward. I snarl at her.
"What do you want with me?" I snarl at them
"We want you to lure Peter and Jasper out of the ranch. So we can get to Bella", Edward says grinning evilly
"Never goner happen. They won't leave her unprotected", I growl
I know Peter and I know Jasper. They won't leave her just after she was nearly killed.
"Oh my dear but they will. We have the newborns nearly ready to take them", Maria says grinning, "And I will have my Major back and kill the Captain"
"It is never going to happen", I state
"It will. Once he finds out we have you he will come. He won't leave you here", Maria says
"He will never do it", I say but even I don't believe it
"We will see", Maria says leaving with Edward and the other vampire
What am I going to do? I am trapped with probably dozens of newborns around. I can't take them all by myself. I just hope Peter won't fall into this trap. Please let him think before he acts…
