Chapter 3

Bella

I look at the letter and see that he wrote to me. I grab the note that came on the package and type in the number. I look at the empty text message wondering what to say to the person. Jasper wrote to me, but I wasn't sure what to do or say back to the letter in question.

I don't know who you are, but you obviously know a little about me. I've read the letters and although I'm confused as into why he couldn't contact me himself, but I don't care about that. Why did you send them to me? Isa

I didn't have to wait long because as soon as I put my phone down it buzzed. I get up and grab my phone before heading to my bed. Might as well get some packing done while I talk to the stranger.

He may not be a stranger, warden says in my mind.

Hush woman. No one asked for your damn opinion, I tell her.

Voices in my head were always fun and I had to watch where I was before answering said voices. I look at my phone and see a message icon on the screen.

I know very little about you ma'am, but rest assured we'll get to know each other very well. I sent the letters because you needed to know who our friend really was. He isn't the person you thought and neither was the one you dated. Have you made a decision on coming to the lovely state of Texas? P

P? What's your name? I think it's fair since you know my full name which I dont go by. I knew who he was and I know that dipshit isn't any thing like I thought he was. Why come to Texas? Why can't you guys come here? What's to hide? There's no one here. Isa

Peter Whitlock at your service Miss Isa. What do you mean no one is there? Didnt they stick around? Peter

Doesn't Jasper know? No, they didn't stick around and for that I'm glad. I've been through enough shit and really don't need them here telling me what they think I did wrong. How is Jasper doing now that he's become one with Major and Ares? Isa

What the fuck is going on there?! They told Jasper to leave the damn family so they could stick around and make sure you didn't tell anyone about us. He's doing great and is in a lot better of a place than he was when he got here. Now are you coming to Texas or not woman? Peter

Long story, but if you'd like the short version let me know. About Texas when did you want me to be there? I've got somewhere to be in a couple days. Isa

He needs to know you're okay so say a week. Long story? I love long stories, but it might be best to tell it once we meet. Don't make it too long though because he really does need you. Peter

Let him know we'll be there soon, Warden says.

I shook my head ignoring that part of me because I was going to make them sweat it out for a bit. I was leaving on Monday and I had to be ready for tomorrow. My dad comes in and hollers that I had something sitting on the porch. I send a quick text to Peter.

I'll see what I can do, but you can't tell him I'm coming. If I'm supposed to help then I need to meet with him on my terms. I'm not even sure if I'm ready to let any vampires back in my life. Gotta go. Isa

I put my phone on the charger and head down the stairs. My dad hands me the mail and tells me there's a package on the porch for me. I ask what he went out and bought me.

"Not from me kiddo. What have you been doing that you didnt notice that you had a package delivered?" He asks.

"I was packing and answering emails. The center in Texas emailed me wanting to make sure I'd be there on Wednesday. I let them know I would be and I was trying to figure out what I'm going to do for the class tomorrow."

"Well, do you need me to grab it or would you like to grab it?" He smiles.

"I'll get it since you just got off work. What would you like tonight?"

We talk about our days and he let's me know that he took Saturday off. We were going to get me a car that would be able to make it to Texas since I was driving. I pick up the box and take it inside. I get a box cutter and open the box only to find a note at the top of it.

Wasn't sure if ya had clothes for Texas so I had my mate and wife getcha some things. Hope to see ya soon. P. Whitlock
