Chapter 35
Jasper and I walked hand in hand on the battlefield. We were walking next to Bella and Edward, meeting Jake at the field. The plan was to have Jake take Bella and lead her away from the field to cover her scent.
Edward and Bella are going to be at a campsite somewhere, hiding while the other's fight. Jasper wanted me there, hoping it will distract the newborns, and to keep an eye out on me. He trusted that Edward would keep me safe, but I would be not by his side. I wouldn't be around him and Jasper and I both knew that with me there, he would be stronger. He wouldn't be worrying too much.
"What, you're not going to fight?" Jake asked as he walked towards us, looking at Edward. "Did you pull a muscle or something?"
"He's doing it for me, okay?" Bella bit out.
"Whatever just tell me the plan."
"This field will give us an advantage in battle." Jasper said after holding me close to his body. "We need to lure the newborns with Bella's scent." Jasper looked over to Edward. "It needs to end here."
"Edward and I are going to a campsite. Even if he carries me, they'll pick up our scents." Bella explained as she looked at Jake.
"Your stench, however, is revolting." Edward said in a monotone.
"Dude, you really don't want to start comparing stinks."
"What he means is that your scent will mask mine if you carry me."
"Done."
"This is not a good idea."
"Edward, they won't want to get anywhere near his…" Jasper began to say but I nudged his side, making him think about his choice of words. "…odor."
"Okay, let's try it."
I stood there with Edward, waiting for Jasper to get back from following the scent trail. Letting out a sigh, I put my hand on my belly when it grumbled.
"Hungry?" Edward asked with his usual smirk.
"I am." I said and started to sway in place.
"You eat a lot." Edward pointed out. "I don't know how you stay skinny." He paused for a moment. "Wait, don't say it, or think it. Please."
"You brought it up." I chimed out. It's all the sex we've been having, probably.
Edward let out a chuckle and sigh. "I wish you had a mind reading blocker rather than Bella."
"I wish I had an all superpower blocker." I pouted out. "Jasper reads my emotions too much and it's hard to surprise him."
I felt arms come around me, pulling me to a hard chest. "I don't have to read emotions to know when you have something planned for me." Jasper's charming voice said behind me.
"Anything?" Edward asked, turning to face Jasper.
"All I picked up was wolf stench. No Bella." Jasper answered and watched as his brother looked down at the ground in disbelief. "This will work."
"I hope so." Edward said before taking off.
I turned my head to look at Jasper. "Can we…I mean I go eat now? I'm starving."
"Really?" Jasper asked with a surprised look and then picked me up. "What would you like to have?"
I thought for a bit before answering. "I'll take something spicy."
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. The next one is going to be longer because it'll have the battle scene. :)
