Rain: Hey guys, I am back with a brand new chapter and I am super happy. A lot of you seemed to enjoy the Alice/Leah banter and there is more of it to come but I think it's time for us to reach back to Vegas.

Also, A lot of people think Jessamine is an OC (do not steal lol) but funny enough, she actually isn't. Jessamine is the female Jasper from Meyer's genderbent version of Twilight called "Life and Death: Twilight reimagined" and weirdly enough, it's an interesting read.

There is a reason I put her in this which will have you guys surprised (hopefully) but until that reveal, sit back, relax and enjoy!

Mario: Here we go!

The Crimson Eyed Drifter: Distance between Hearts
Chapter Eleven

Las Vegas – Nevada
Peter Whitlock

So…I drink blood and I know things.

That's pretty much my deal.

I don't have a gift, but I'm pretty good at seeing shit that happens at different points in the future but so far, this mess in Vegas has me annoyed as can be.

So, I know that Remy and Marie are in Vegas and I know that they were somewhere in Vegas but the downside is, that Jasper and I can't find them. We searched for a good few hours but there was nothing!

You would think with my abilities, I would at least get a god damn peek at where they were but nope.

Nothing.

Zilch.

Zero.

How could they be suppressing their scent to this extent?

Could they have another vampire working for them that is suppressing their scent? Is that even bloody possible?

"This search isn't getting us anywhere," I heard Major hiss out in anger after the two of us landed onto another roof, continuing our search for these rather elusive vampires.

"I agree Major, it's like following ghosts," I replied as I continued to run towards the edge of the roof but I noticed, just as I was about to leap my happy ass off of the roof, that Major wasn't next to me any longer.

As I turned around to look at him, I heard him ask in this rather soft voice I had never heard before "What the hell was that?"

I was puzzled for a moment.

Did he see something about our current targets?

As I walked towards him, I could see that his expression, for a lack of a better word, was emotionless as the dead.

But I could see confusion, shock, and worry within those eyes of his. Something must have happened but what?

"Major…?" I asked as I got closer to him. "Are you alright?" I asked as I shook him but he didn't respond. He was still as silent as the night. "Major," I said, my voice firmer than it was before.

When he didn't respond again, shut my eyes for a moment and then shouted, "Major!" I watched as he jumped a bit from my rather loud shout before he looked at me with concern.

"Major, you look as if you've seen Maria with the heads of our loved ones hanging around her hips. You ok?" I asked him, my hands on his shoulders with a frown on my face.

Major shook his head and muttered "I'll be alright. I just…I think I…Let's just continue on…"

Yeah, my bullshit detector immediately blared in my mind.

The way Major looked, I hadn't seen that look on his face since back when we were in Maria's camp but if he didn't want to discuss what has him spooked like that, I won't press him.

Instead, I shrugged and walked away from him as I said "Alright. Well, let's keep moving Major." He nodded and together, the two of us were running on the roofs again.

But whatever was distracting the Major had kept him quiet for another two hours. He was so quiet, I had to look at him several times to make sure he was still with me.

What could cause him to go so qui-

Peter's Vision

Bella was seen tied to a chair while she looked at Victoria standing before her, a cruel smirk on the face of the vampire. "I have waited for this moment for such a long time…" Victoria hissed, venom pooling at her mouth.

"Despite your mate's and your pathetic friends' best efforts, I finally got my hands on you…" Victoria leaned down to Bella's seated level and asked "Are you ready to die, little Swan?"

Bella leaned her head back and asked "Do I look afraid of you?"

"You should Little Swan…Because today is the end of your life. And I will make sure that there is not one bit of you left for him to change," Victoria said with a sickeningly sweet tone in her voice but Bella could only smile at this.

"You know he's coming for you," Bella stated after

Victoria smirked and said "That is exactly what I plan…But before he does, I'm going to make sure he knows how to feels to have to watch his mate die by another's hands."

Bella merely smirked and said "It's funny that you think you will live that long to do that...Well, I'll make you a promise…I promise that I'll smile at your funeral pyre after he's done with you...Vicky."

Las Vegas – Nevada
Peter Whitlock

It…Well, it seems things in the future are coming up Milhouse!

Although, I was impressed by the vision.

It seems Good ol' Major rubbed off on Bella the right way. Hehehe, maybe in that way, maybe not but I mean more in attitude. The last time I saw Bella in a vision was ten years ago and she was curled up in a ball on her bed in tears, looking like a weak ol' bunny rabbit.

To see her stare down her enemy without fear makes me happy.

I turned to Jasper, who was focusing on where he was running and narrowed my eyes in thought. If my vision timeline is correct, Bella should currently be crying on her bed, all curled up and whatnot and it's about this time she'll notice my text message to her.

Just then, I felt my cellphone buzz three times in my pocket and it made me smirk a bit. Well, I may not be having any luck finding Remy and Marie but the first step in my master plan will begin.

I slowed down to a stop, which prompted Major to slow down as well and when he did, I said "I have a feeling we won't be finding anything about them tonight. Why don't we head back to the Bellagio and try searching tomorrow."

Major stared at me for a moment before he nodded and said "Yeah…Let's head back. Need to regroup." But honestly, I think he was saying that more to himself than me.

And with that thought in mind, I asked him "You've been out of it for the past while. Everything alright Major?"

He opened his mouth as if he was going to respond but he then closed it and looked to the side, as if he was struggling to word what was going on in his mind. I opened my mouth to let him know that he doesn't have to tell me when he suddenly asked,"When you found out that Char was your mate, what happened?"

I snapped my motherfucking vampy mouth shut the minute he asked that.

Honestly…All I could remember was how beautiful she was when I first saw her, which wasn't out of the norm back in that bitch's coven but there was something…delicate about her that made me take notice of her.

She was also very bright and very controlled for a newbie-made vamp. If I was more honest with myself back then, I would have realized that I had found my mate. At first, I had no idea that I found her.

All I knew was that it hurt to be away from her.

Sometimes, that hurt would lead me to lash out in anger or to sulk but the only way it ended was when Charlotte was near me. It was only when I found out that she was being lined up for execution that I couldn't live without her.

"Remember when I was trying to spare the newborns back at Maria's coven?" I asked him, so I could help him retrace the steps I went through when I realized she was my mate.

He snorted and leaned against a brick chimney and said "Which time? The first time where you went to sulk when I brushed you off or the second time after I told you what Maria had told me?"

"The second time," I responded seriously, which he immediately caught and became serious himself and responded with a nod.

"I remember all too well. I remember coming back after speaking to Maria and telling you her response, about not wanting another Nettie/Lucy incident. I could feel the agony you were in…I then felt that you had realized something before you darted away. I was so deep in my depression back then that I just thought the pressure of killing more newborns was getting to you…" Major explained and honestly, he wasn't wrong.

I hate fighting to kill.

Fighting is fun but I'd rather sit back and laugh with my opponent, win or lose, instead of being the only person walking out…And the reattaching of limbs was a bitch too. Add into the fact that sometimes, Major's ability wouldn't work on some of the newborns we had to kill and…Yeah, it sucked.

"But I would have gone through with killing them," I responded softly while looking to the ground. "But when I saw…The first moment I saw her, it was like she was the only person in my view. I didn't think anything of it at first. She was just someone to pass the time."

"Heh, but it didn't stay that way," Major responded with a grin on his face. "It would explain a few things. How you randomly disappeared during large chunks of the day or how every time we returned from one of our…"missions," you would immediately leave for her. Also explains how much of an asshole you were when we were away from the coven for too long. I just chalked it up to homesickness."

I laughed heartily at this and said "Yeah. I didn't realize it myself but I had found my mate the moment I laid eyes on her. It just took me a while to realize it. Why do you ask?" I had a pretty damn good idea of why he asked but I still wanted to hear it from him.

Major shut his eyes and said-

Peter's Vision

Jasper, Peter, Jessamine, and Charlotte were seen standing in front of a burning house with grim looks on their faces.

And kneeling on the ground in front of them was Edward, with an unconscious girl with brunette hair, a sunflower yellow dress, and glasses with a white frame around the edge of the glasses.

The girl looked very pale and on the crook of her neck, there was an obvious sign that she had been bitten. Jasper watched as Edward cradled the girl in his arms as he whispered shamefully "I'm so sorry…I am so, so sorry…"

"Bella is not going to like this at all," Charlotte murmured while Jasper merely lowered his head and sighed.

"Which part?" Jessamine asked, considering all of what had just occurred.

Peter and Charlotte let out a sigh in unison while Jasper pinched the bridge of his nose with his right hand before all three muttered "All of it," In unison.

Peter Whitlock

"Peter! You see something?" Major asked me, snapping him out from my thoughts.

Ok…So that was the wrong time to see a vision. Especially one as strange as that one. "I did but you would be surprised by what I saw but that doesn't matter. Tell me what happened."

Major grumbled out "I don't like repeating myself but I'll explain it again…" before he said loudly "Look, I didn't just leave the Cullens because I wanted to return to my former diet…The main reason I left was because of Bella Swan…"

It was then that he told me of all that occurred from the moment before her birthday to the aftermath of after it and while I knew she was hit mate due to my past vision of her…I didn't know the specifics of it all so getting this background was great for me.

"Since then, I've been feeling a bit…Off…" Major stated after finishing his tale. "I have this ache in my chest that hasn't gone away. It's like…I feel emptier than before…When that girl…Jessamine was being attacked, what set me off was seeing Bella in her place…And as we were running, I could have sworn I heard her voice in my head, crying for me…"

Ok, that all seems pretty norm-wait…he heard her voice?

"You heard her voice?" I asked with a confused look.

He nodded and looked out to the distance and said "I heard her as clear as day within my mind. It wasn't like I was replaying a memory in my head. It was as if she was here with me."

"Ok…That's new," I responded after a moment of thought. I couldn't really respond to that because I've never heard of that before. Hell, I didn't even believe Vampires and Humans could be mates until ten years ago.

But him hearing her voice as if she was there…Could it be some side effect to the Vampire/Human mating?

I'll need to contact Alice to check that out for me.

As I opened my mouth to say something, the scent of one lone vampire caught my nose, as well as the Major's but just as we were getting on guard, the roof beneath us shook as the biggest motherfucker I have ever seen came bursting out of it.

This dude looked as if the Juggernaut and She-Hulk had a got damn baby! This dude has dark chestnut brown hair and his eyes a very dark crimson and from the scars on his body, it looks like this big guy was in many battles with his fellow vampires.

The vampire landed a few feet away from the two of us and said "Well…Look what we have here…The God and his General…"

"And aren't you the biggest motherfucker I've ever seen," I responded with an edge.

"It seems the rumor of your General's humor rang true, God of War," The behemoth said to Major, who merely narrowed his eyes in anger before this large vampire added, "But the King and Queen of Sin City have decided of giving me the honor of tearing you both and burning the remains after showing them your heads."

"And what did we do to receive such an honor?" Major hissed out while I grinned. I could see the gears turning in his head on how to take down this asshole and all I was waiting for was a signal.

The large vampire merely smirked at the two of us and shouted "Defeat me and I will tell you!" before he leaped towards us.

Rain: And that is where I am ending it. So I decided to stick this chapter in Peter's POV for a few reasons but the next chapter will be in Jasper's POV. I plan to have Team Whitlock's adventure in Vegas end in the next two/three chapters so the next three will focus more on Team Whitlock. Plus…It's fun to use Peter to reveal future story stuff. So until the next chapter…

Mario: See you next time!
