This is going to be re-edited again with the help of a few of my loyal readers. The first being WENDY1969 if you haven't read anything by her you are sorely missing out.
Lady Skyelite and 01katie are helping as well. My other story is coming along very well I am just waiting on my muse to get her computer sorted.
Staying snuggled in my seat I listened to the other before blocking them out. I stayed in Jasper's head it was weird being in his head as he turned into the Major but I wanted to know what was going on. Five minutes later the three chasing us caught up to him.
"Major Jasper Whitlock it is an honour being in your presence. My name is Richard and my companions Rachael and Andrew. I have been following you Captain's scent in hopes that you might let me help you out in your endeavour with the human companion that you have." The leader Richard said. Jasper noted that the female was feeling jealous as he spoke of me. I let Charlotte in so that she could relay what happens to everyone else.
"Yes my Captain is helping me transport something very precious to my sire. If you wish to help then lead others away from us. Do any of you have gifts that could help in this endeavour?" Jasper asked them.
"No we have nothing but our fairly good tracking skills we have been following you for the better part of the day." Rachael said. While she was thinking about what she could do to me when she got a hold of me.
"Make sure that you cover any tracks that are around here than I don't want anyone else coming after us." Jasper said.
While the guys did just that Rachael offered herself up to Jasper but Jasper pushed me out of his head I didn't even know that he could do that. So I looked to see what everyone else was doing while Peter and Charlotte were talking vampire speed as to what Jasper could be doing with her.
I could hear Emmett and Rose talking they really don't do much other than that much. Angela and Ben were asleep so I left them alone. I couldn't hear Randall, Mary or Alistair and I started to worry.
"Peter I can't find Randall. Where is he?" I said.
"He's fine Bella we have a few more hours till we catch up to him. With us not driving as fast as we want they are getting everything set up so that when we pull up in the morning it will look like we are camping which we might do depending on what Richard and Andrew do." Peter reassured me.
"Camping ewe. Do we have too?" I said.
"Yes Bella camping will do you some good. We also need people to think that you are dead and that is how we are going to do it. Word will spread around the supernatural community that Isabella Swan is dead. The wolves in LaPush know that you are alive. We have to fake your death so actually having two nomads with us isn't such a bad idea." Peter said.
"What does my father think happened to me?" I was almost afraid to know the answer.
"Your father thinks that Edward, Jacob, Seth and you were killed coming back from a shopping trip that you all took with Alice. As that was your alibi for that weekend." Peter said. "The story going round is that Edward met you at the mall and there was no room in Alice's car for you since she filled her car with bags.
Jacob and Seth were walking trails about an hour from Forks and Edward picked them up on the side of the road because he pulled over to see why they were hitch-hiking. Not long before the car that you were all in, Edward's Volvo, was hit by a drunk driver that crossed in front of the car and you were all killed on impact before Edward's car blew up.
The wolves thought that with Edward, Seth and Jacob dead that it would be fitting when they found out you were 'taken' that they should add a body for you as well. Now with what we have set up it will make them think that you died for real. They will find the campsite a few days after we leave."
"But won't they find all your scents there as well?" I asked.
"Yeah they will Emmett and Rosalie are going to be contributing to the fire so that the wolves think they were killed defending you. Jasper is going to be leading them in a different direction making them think that he was seriously hurt trying to kill two nomads with the trail ending at the women that he just killed. We are going to have them running in circles by the time they work out that you aren't dead you will be a vampire." Peter said.
"How long till that happens?" I asked.
He didn't answer so I settled back down trying to find everyone again but all I can hear are Peter, Charlotte, Rose, Emmett, Ben and Angela. I catch bits and pieces of Richard and Andrew's thoughts. I can't hear Jasper or Rachael anywhere so they must be out of my range so I concentrated some more and catch both of their thoughts it's just bits and pieces like the other two because they are thinking in vampire speed. I then hear what Jasper thinks to me.
"Isabella I want you to watch what I'm doing and replay it to Peter I know that you can do it but it will take a bit out of you so tell Peter that he needs to put you to sleep after I have finished this fight." Jasper says.
I relay the message to Peter than let him in my shield to share my power with him. I see what Jasper means by letting me sleep after this fight is finished it's going to take too much out of me.
I watch as Jasper taunts the woman and plays on her weak spots. He uses her companions against her telling her that Peter is killing them as he goes for the kill on her. The fight is over in lose time than I thought it would be. Peter then knocks me out.
"Hello there Isabella my name is Elizabeth. You have probably heard about me from my son Edward. Such a stubborn boy he was when I was alive. It was my own fault that he turned out the way he did. I want you to know that I interfered in his life once he was a vampire he almost killed some other members of your family and if he did you wouldn't be here today. But that is neither here nor there. I have come to offer you some advice. Do what you want not what others expect of you. You are a kind person but it is not your nature to be kind to others that is what you were brainwashed for. Your mate is waiting for you to come to your senses He won't wait much longer till you find yourself. Edward was never your mate; your mate is strong and needs you to help him become stronger. Your mate is feared in the supernatural world. Your mate is the most feared vampire in History; it's none other than Jasper Whitlock. You need to live for yourself and be selfish for once instead of selfless. People will use you for a doormat and that doesn't reflect on Jasper very well does it. You don't worry about things that you can't control and control the things that you around you. Don't control people's actions yet. I'll help you the best I can but I can only do so much. I want you to pay close attention to the two newcomers they are hiding something. Use Edward's gift but on a deeper level then he used it. One of them has a gift but is hiding it very well. They won't like it when you use the gift against them. I want you to listen to what I am about to say Isabella so sit down and just listen to what I say. Edward was never meant to be born to me he came before his time and he was killed before he even had a chance to live. That makes no sense even to me but it is what it is. Edward Masen Jr is no more he will have no contact with you until it is his time. He's going to have a hard life to make up for all the things he has done in his human life and vampire life as well. He will have a harder life then you. He will excel at sports because of his life. He will not have anything easy in his new life. I can tell you when the time comes for him to be introduced back into your life you will hardly recognise him. He will be trouble from the very start of his life. I just wish there was a way for the good to come to him as well but it comes too late in his life to do anything about it. That is all I can tell you. I will see you again Isabella." With that Elizabeth Masen disappeared from my sight.
Peter woke me when we were closer to the campsite and told me that Jasper will meet us when we get there. Ten minutes later everyone was at the campsite.
"Alright everyone this is how it will go Richard and Andrew are going to do perimeter checks every half hour. Peter will oversee that. Emmett and Rose will look after Angela and Ben. While Isabella, Charlotte and I work on her shields." Jasper said. "Everyone else carry on. Isabella come we will find somewhere quiet to practise."
Charlotte picked me up so that we could follow Jasper. Once we got a fair distance away from the others I thought about what Mrs Masen told me and put it into practise by listening in and probing them deeper while trying to listen to what Jasper was saying. I couldn't concentrate with his constant babbling and encased him in a shield so I couldn't hear him. Once Jasper was encased in his bubble of quiet I meditated so that I could concentrate. I showed Charlotte what I was trying to do and she helped by trying to calm Jasper down so that I could get a better fix on them.
I heard them thinking about what happened to Rachael and they didn't want that to happen to them. They know what the Major is capable of and they don't want to piss him off any more than he already is. They think that keeping their ability from him is a stupid idea but they were told not to tell him but by whom I didn't hear. I wish they would so that maybe we can find out why they want to help us.
"Jasper I found that they are hiding something from us and they were sent her by someone as well. I don't think that we can trust them. We can for now but not for too long I think we shouldn't tell them everything about me either they might try and take me from you guys and that would just cause a world of trouble. Charlotte won't be able to hear any of their plans because they are doing them by blocking because they think we have a weak mind reader. They will slip at some point nobody is prefect at hiding their thoughts so I have to figure out how I can go days without sleep because I can tell you now they are planning something." I said as I came back into myself.
"Hey did you shield me like that Isabella?" Jasper asked.
"That's easy Edward showed me one night when nobody was home. He wanted me to be able to protect myself from others but that's the first time I have actually had to do that." I said.
"Well don't do it again okay. At least to me." Jasper said.
"Just don't bug me and I won't. So how are we going to keep me up for a few days without it looking as if I'm intentionally doing it?" I asked.
"Well Bella how would you feel about getting all of your emotions back?" Jasper asked.
"I think that might help just as long as it doesn't almost kill me this time. I think if I felt it full force that it might." I said.
"Here's what we'll do I'll send them to you when I think that you might be slipping abit. You will have to leave that emotional shield of yours so this can work but leave the others up we don't want anyone to know what we are doing." Jasper said picking me up to take me back to the campsite again.
When we got back to the campsite it looked like a bomb had gone off everything was all over the place and Angela and Ben looked scared out of their minds. I whistled to get everyone's attention.
"Alright now you've had your fun but you have two humans over there that aren't used to being around vampires so you have to take it easy on them, they may be alright with it but that doesn't mean showing off to them just so they think you are cool or something. I want this place cleaned up in the next five minutes and if it isn't than I think that some of you will be getting a serious ass kicking." I said as I walked over to Angela and Ben pulling them with me.
After we were a fair distance away so that I could still hear them but not let it effort me. I stopped.
"Thanks Bella as soon as you disappeared with Jasper and Charlotte they just all went nuts. The weird duo kept looking as if they were hungry and I could swear that one of them was going to take a snap at one of us if Emmett didn't start throwing stuff around breaking the tension." Ben said.
"It's alright. They have been holed up with me for the last couple of weeks and it was bound to happen sometime soon. Emmett is bored because he can't hunt the way he wants. He wants to work out his aggression but he can't because then it would turn into a killing spree. We don't have time to do much until we get settled into our new home wherever that is. I just hate that we all have to run from where we were. I liked it there well when people weren't trying to kill me. Come on let's go see if they have it all cleaned up." I said getting up and walking back to the campsite.
As I got closer I could hear that Richard was thinking about the phone call he really had to make to Alice. Crap how did we not figure this out in the first place it was just a little to convenient that they turned up when they did so that means she had to have sent them before Ryan got to her. How the hell am I going to tell that to Jasper without anybody seeing my shield around the both of us? Charlotte.
"Charlotte if you can hear me do you think that you can relay a message to Jasper without letting anyone but him know?" I said to her.
"Yeah I can. What do you need to tell him?" Charlotte said in my head.
"Richard and Andrew are working for Alice she sent them after us before Ryan caught up to her. Still haven't figured out the power yet." I said in reply.
"I'll tell you what he says about it in a minute." Charlotte said.
I wondered why our communication was cut off because a few weeks ago we could talk like that but now we can't do it. Might have to work with Mary so she can help me with my shields or maybe Alistair even. But they don't really have any active powers that I could use. I still haven't figured out what kind of power the duo are hiding but whatever it is I have it now.
"Bella, don't strain yourself trying to figure it out. Jasper thinks that we shouldn't even tell them about your shields. Don't use any ability but this one I will keep Jasper informed off everything that you hear so keep your shield down for me to get in. I might be able to use you to get through to them even." Charlotte said.
"You weren't supposed to hear that last bit Charlotte. How am I going to be able to keep my shield down so that you can read everything, concentrate on keeping it up enough so that Alice doesn't have a vision, not sleep and follow conversations around me while it looks as if I don't know anything that is going on?" I said.
"I'll ask Jasper if he can somehow put you in a trance state so it looks as if you are just there but not there if you know what I mean. What I mean is he'll put you in your zombie state so it looks as if you are just dealing with everything that has gone on in the last few weeks. You still haven't really grieved for Edward so we can use that as an excuse for the creepy duo. This way you can handle your shields while Jasper controls your emotions if he thinks they are getting suspicious then he'll let me tell you. You just concentrate now Bella because you're about to go under." Was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
I found my shields exactly the way that I wanted them as well as Elizabeth Masen.
"Isabella, dear. I have been sent to help you with your shields. You are going to have a hard time maintaining them by yourself otherwise. We don't even have to keep checking them so we are safe for the time being."
