Heyya, new chapter up :) thanks for everyone who reviewed the last chapter i now have some idea about what im going to write in my story, but i have to finish this one first. there isnt that much left of this story, so enjoy it :P anyway, ill leave you read now.
Bella's POV
We hunted for a few hours, building our strength back up. I was surprised at how thirsty I was. Thinking about it, I shouldn't have been surprised at that, I had thrown up the content of my stomach a few hours ago so I needed to put some of it back in my body.
After we had finished hunting, we turned and went back to the house. When we got back there, I notices the car was still missing. Peter must have still been out.
"How long do you think Peter will be?" I asked Jasper as we walked into the house.
"I'm not sure. He shouldn't be long, we have been gone a few hours. Come on we both need a shower." Jasper said, taking my hand and walking into the house. I looked down at myself that was covered in dirt and mud.
"I think you might be right." I said, laughing to myself as we walked into the house.
As soon as I closed the door Jasper wrapped his arms around me and held me close to his body.
"Not that I oppose having a hug from you, but why?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around his waist.
"I just want to hold you. We have a lot of things to talk about when we get back. But before we do that, I need you to promise me that after all this is over and after we get Char back, that me and you will go away somewhere by ourselves." Jasper asked me.
"That was the plan in the first place." I said as I snuggled into his chest again.
"Yes it was and now more than ever, I think we are going to need that time together." He said. I moved my head and kissed him on the lips. I filled the kiss with everything that I felt about him. Love and adoration were at the forefront of what I was sending him.
He kissed me back, wrapped his arms around me and pulled me against him. The kiss turned into something more that I had anticipated it would, it was harder and rougher, but that is exactly what I needed. I had released my emotions through Jasper, but now I needed a physical outlet for my emotions. And Jasper seemed to be willing to help me.
I pushed my emotions onto Jasper so that he would get an idea of what I needed right now. Him.
He ran his hands down my waist and over down my legs, so that he could pick me up and I then wrapped my legs around his waist. I moaned as he pushed me against the door and his lips moved lower to my neck. I rocker my hips against him trying to get a bit of friction going. Jasper moaned against my neck and began to mirror my movements. Soon Jasper moved up from the door and began walking towards the stairs. It didn't take long for Jasper to get up the stairs and into one of the spare rooms that was in the house. Jasper placed me in the middle of the double bed that was in the room and lets his hand roam over my body.
As Jasper began kissing my neck, over my shoulders , my chest. I suddenly felt guilty and bad about myself. Of course Jasper caught onto this. He stopped his trail of kisses and moved back up my body so that he could look me in the eye.
"What's wrong?" Jasper asked, his voiced filled with concern.
"I can't do this." I said as I got up from underneath him and moved to the other side of the room.
Jasper didn't say do anything apart from roll over on the bed and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. It was just nice for you to relax and be yourself for a little while." Jasper said sitting up on the bed.
"No it wasn't your fault. I shouldn't have done anything. God, I'm such a horrible person! How could I even think about sex when my child is missing." I felt tears filling my eyes for what felt like the millionth time today. Stupid emotions!
"You are not a horrible person. Never say that!" Jasper said as he came over to me and took my face in his hands.
I didn't have the strength to argue with him about this, so I let myself fall against his chest. I stayed there for a few minutes before Jasper pushed me away and smiled at me.
"Right, how about we get back to the original idea having a shower and freshening up before Peter gets back." He asked me.
"It sounds like a good idea. Do you want to go first?" I asked him.
"I will only go first if you join me. I promise I will be good." He asked me, smiling at me. I would like to find a women on this planet that could say no to this man when he pulled a face like that. No, scratch that. I would like to find a women who could say no to Jasper full stop!
"Well, as long as you promise to be good. I hope you're not upset about just now, but I have more things on my mind right now." I said as I ran my hands down his chest.
"Of course I'm not upset. What do you take me for? Now come on, I hate to tell you think darlin but you stink." He said to me, as he took my hands and pulled me into the bathroom.
We had a shower, and true to his word Jasper behaved himself in the shower, only using his hands to clean me. Some areas more thoroughly than others but I wasn't going to complain. Jasper made me feel loved, and I think I needed that after earlier.
About 5 minutes after we had got out of the shower, We heard the car pulling up to the house.
"Peter must be back." Jasper said as he pulled on a pair of jeans.
"It would appear so. I'll go down and see him now." I said
"Not like that you're not." Jasper said, looking at my current attire. I don't think blue lace underwear, was a good thing to wear to go and speak with your son in law.
I walked over to the bag and pulled out a pair of track suit bottoms and a hoodie that Jasper had packed in a bag before we left and went down stairs to see Peter.
"Hey. How was your hunt?" I asked him as I walked into the living room.
"I'm going to save you the details and say, fine thanks." He said, smiling at me. He took off his jacket and threw it over the back of the chair
"Where's Jasper?" Peter asked.
"He has just got out of the shower. He should be down now." I said.
"I'll go see him now. I need a shower anyway." He said as he walked past me up the stairs.
Peter had been gone a few seconds when I heard something vibrate in his coat pocket. I went over too see what it was. The vibrating sound continued, I then found a mobile phone. I knew I shouldn't have looked, but I couldn't help it. I pulled the phone out of his pocket and saw that he had got a text. I checked behind me so make sure that no one was coming down the stairs before I pressed the button that opened the text.
Peter, please help me! I don't have time to call you they are going to be back now. I don't know where I am only that I'm in a castle, and everyone here has Italian accents so I think I'm in Italy. I'm scared Peter. Please my love come find me. I need you.
I didn't have time to allow myself to react. I dropped the phone onto the chair and picked up the car keys that were on the table and ran out of the house. There was no way now that I would wait till morning to go and get charlotte.
Jaspers POV
Bella and I heard the car pull up outside the house. Peter must have come back from his hunt. I hoped that he wasn't going to make a habit of hunting humans again. He was doing so well when he was back at Bella's.
Bella had left the room to go see Peter. I took this opportunity while I was alone to check something. I had been planning to do this since Bella had suggested going away for the weekend by ourselves. I pulled out the box that contained the engagement ring that I planned to place on Bella's finger as soon as possible, but since Charlotte has been taken, my plans had been put on hold for a while, but as Bella had promised that we could go away together after all this I planned to ask her to marry me soon. I had didn't have many things from before my change, but I did have a ring that my mother had given me before I went away to the army. The ring that my mother had given me was a gold banded ring, with two sapphire 3 sapphire stones and 2 diamonds on the top. I know it was old fashioned, and nothing compared to what I could have gone and bought in somewhere like Tiffany's, but I think Bella would like it.
I heard Peter coming up the stairs, so I put the ring back where I got it from. I knew that he would be happy if I proposed to Bella, but I didn't exactly want to say anything to him about this until I knew that Charlotte was safe.
"Hey, how was your hunt?" I asked him as he popped his head into the door.
"Fine. You should have come with me though, I feel so much better." He said looking at me hopefully.
"I thought I was the one who was trying to convert you to a different diet?" I asked him, trying to keep the mood light.
"And I will go back to it, but only after I have charlotte back, and I need by full strength to do that." He said, sill in the doorway.
"We will get her back. This time tomorrow she will be back." I told him.
He smiled weakly at me before leaving the room.
I was just about to go down stairs to see Bella, just as I heard a car outside, The only car that was outside the house was Peters. I ran out of the room, praying to what ever god would listen to me, that Bella was still in the house. Please let her still be here.
I called her name as I ran down the stairs and into the living room.
The front door was wide open and Bella was no where to be seen.
"Peter!" I called up stairs.
"What!" he shouted back.
"Where did you put the keys to the car?" I shouted at him.
"On the table by the door. Why?" he replied sounding worried.
"For fuck sake Bella! Peter we need to go. Bella has gone. And I have a idea where she has gone." I said as I went to leave the house.
"What? Why would she go?" Peter asked running down the stairs after me.
"I don't know. Come on grab your stuff, we got to go for a run." I said, still standing in the doorway, waiting for Peter to get what ever he wanted from the living room. He picked up his phone and frowned at him.
"What is it?" I asked him, walking into the living room.
"I think I just found the reason Bella ran." Peter said, holding the phone out to me numbly.
I read the message that was on the screen. Well of course she was going to go on her own after reading this.
"She has to stop doing this." I said as I gave the phone back to Peter.
"Doing what?"
"Running. This is the second time she has run now." I explained as we walked out of the house.
"Give her a break, she has her reasons. I don't know why she ran the last time, but I bet it was something to either protect herself, or you." Peter said as he closed the door.
I didn't answer him, I just kept my head down and began to run. I just wanting to get to Bella and make sure she didn't do anything stupid. Like face the Volturi by herself.
Charlotte POV
I sat in the room that they had kept me in for the last few days. I had no idea where I was, well I hadn't had chance to see anything. The room that I had been put in however big and comfortable it was, didn't have any windows so I couldn't even look outside. I had been left alone for the first time in days, so I took this chance to text peter. I know that he must have been looking for me and he didn't know where I was. I just wanted to get out of here. I heard someone moving on the other side of the door. I just had enough time I put the phone away before the door opened.
The one who was called Aro came into the room, smiling like everything was fine.
"My dear one, you look so scared when I walked into the room" he said as he closed the door behind him.
"Do you blame me? You stole me away from my mate and brought me here when I haven't done anything. And I still don't know why I am here." I said as I backwards away from him.
"I admit, the way in which we brought you here could have been done differently, but apart from that, we have given you no reason to fear us. As soon as we get what we want, you are free to go. You are not a prisoner here." He said.
"If I am not your prisoner then why have I not been allowed out of the castle to hunt?" I asked him.
"My dear, you have been given several opportunities to quench your thirst, you have just declined our offer."
"I don't drink from humans. I feed of animals." I told him.
"Like your mother? Don't look so surprised. There isn't much that goes on in the world that we don't hear about. And this piece of information will allow me to get something that I have wanted for many years." Aro said walking towards me.
"And what is that?" I asked him as he continued to walk towards me.
"Bella of course. You are the perfect person to encourage her to come to me. There is nothing a mother wouldn't do to protect her child." Aro said as he turned around and left the room.
What did my mother have to do with all of this?
We actually heard from Charlotte in this chapter, interesting. i know ive kept her in the dark for a while, but i thought it would be nice to see that she was still alive lol. what did you think? Like always im going to ask that you leave some kind of review. anything would be great.
