Chapter 15

Third Person

For three days they wait and sat.

Three days of watching him go to Hell and back.

Three days of listening to his screams, begging for mercy.

Three days in which the one person that could do a better job at tracking Bella to come to his senses and make himself useful to James and his tiny coven of three.

Three days.

That was a while ago and now James had the full use of Dean and his uncanny sense to find Bella, the one girl that James wanted most in the world, but not because of her blood, or that he was thirsty but because of the baby that was inside of her.

Growing.

Victoria has been wanting a play toy something different, one of a kind. So when James spotted Bella from his ally hiding spot after feeding back on that Halloween night he knew that Bella was different and then found out how different she truly was a couple of months later when he heard the heartbeat of the other human growing inside of her. He and Victoria both heard it before Bella herself even knew she was pregnant.

Together the two of them along with Laurent followed Bella's every move wanting nothing but the one thing that none of them will ever have the privilege of having.

They sat and they watched.

That is until they lost Bella and James decided it was time to resort to more drastic and higher measures to get what his mate wanted so badly.

There was one other person that he watched that same night. He was nothing more than a teenage boy with raging hormones that carried the sweet scent of Bella on him. A scent that Bella later began to cast off of her as well.

And it was then that James knew what he needed to do, the only way to truly find and track Bella even better and to get the prize that will be waiting for him to take in just a few short months.

"How much longer until we make a move?" Victoria hissed into James ear. "I want my toy and I am getting very impatient."

James just held up one finger to calm his mate and closed his eyes to focus as a smile began to emerge on his lips.

"Not much longer love and you will be getting your precious toy."

Victoria's lips curled upward into a smile pleased with James efforts.

"And Dean, did he find her?"

Laurent, Victoria, James and Dean have been scoring the Forks area for days looking for Bella's scent. With the crossing of other vampires in the area James could not help but wonder if Bella has taken a liking to them. If they could even be protecting her, which would explain their hasty retreat. But with Dean's undeniable connection to Bella he tracked her down much better and quicker than James would have or could have hoped for.

"Let's go," James said leading in the direction if the airport. "I believe we are going on a trip."

For nearly six months after Dean's transformation James has been working with him to have better self control more so that Dean will be able to stay focused. James knew that it will be risky for him to be on airplane full of humans so instead James and Dean decided to run from Forks down to Lake Tahoe while Victoria and Laurent will meet them by plane a few hours later.

From the outskirts of the Lodge is where they will sit and wait. With Dean's red eyes keeping a very close watch on Victoria's precious baby.

Three days is all they needed.

But after Dean's close encounter with the wolves, three days might just be too long to wait. James may need to speed things up just tad. Maybe force his hand….

A/N: Okay, I know that this chapter was short and sweet as well as to the point, but I figured after some of your reviews that I give you more detail on where and how Dean came into play….
