Chapter 4

Jasper

It's been a little over a year since I've been in Texas and have been one with my beasts. Major and Ares were alright once I got to know them. I went to grab the letters I had written only to find them gone. I went downstairs and didn't see Peter anywhere.

"Ya lookin' for Pete?" Char asks, looking up from her computer.

"Yes, where is the Yoda tellin' ass?" I look at her.

"He's at the stables. Said somethin' 'bout gettin' the horses ready for someone." She smiles at me.

I nod and walk out of the house. I don't bother speeding down to the stables as I wanted to think. I'd written a note to Bella and that was gone as well. I was never going to send that to her and I wasn't even sure how Peter got her address. When I make it to the stables Peter comes sauntering out.

"Major," he says.

"Where'd my letters go?" I ask.

"What 'bout your letters?"

"They're not in my room anymore and I'd like them back," I tell him.

"Well, ya can get them back when someone gets here. For now tho you an' I need to make a run to town," he says.

"Pete!" Char yells from the house.

"Yes sug?" He asks casually.

"Someone is on the phone for ya. Says they're being stalked and needs help," Char says.

"Lets go." He takes off towards his truck.

I follow suit and haul ass to the truck. I hop in time as Peter races out of the driveway before I could get the door shut all the way. I wondered who we were going to rescue. Peter doesn't get along well with other vamps let alone humans. We get into the seedy part of town and I felt the emotions of a very distressed human.

"Who the hell are we goin' to help?" I ask.

"You'll see except for the fact that she wasn't supposed to get into trouble," he tells me.

We find the alley the emotions are coming from and what I see shocks me to the core.

Bella

I'd been in Texas for a week and the third day here I caved. I called Peter and told him I was in Texas but I had things I needed to take care of before I could even stomach the thought of seeing Jasper. We'd come up with a plan so Jasper could see what he was going to be dealing with if he wants me to stick around.

I was to call Peter after gaining some unwanted attention and yell for help. I wasn't an actual damsel in distress, but I could play the damn part very well. I could hear Peter talking and I held his dinner a foot above the ground in my shield.

"Pete, hope you're hungry. This dipshit thought he was gonna get me, but that didn't work out very well for him," I say, well Warden says.

"Warden, a pleasure finally meetin' ya face to face," Peter says with a smile.

"Bella?" A voice asks.

I look to see Jasper standing there. His eyes are wide in shock of seeing me with black eyes and holding a guy up in the air without touching him.

"Howdy there Jasper," I say with a nod.

"Damn lil one didn't know ya were gonna catch me dinner. Char is sure gonna love ya!" Pete laughs.

"So you want him?" I ask and he nods. "Then be prepared to catch him. He's a runner."

"Bella?" Jasper says again.

I drop my shield and the guy takes off running with Peter on his tail. I shake my head and walk towards Jasper. He is standing there not breathing. I laugh and make my way out of the alley. I had a bit better sense of smell now and since I caught Peters scent I followed it to the truck they came in. Peter came to the truck twenty minutes later with Jasper in tow. I pushed myself off the truck and met them half way.

"Your eyes are back to their normal color. Damn, I was hopin' to meet Death," Peter says.

"I'm sure you will. She likes to make people sweat. Warden came out 'cause that fucker was trying to cop a feel. Names Isa."

"Isa, suits you since you're very beautiful. I think my Char is gonna take a likin' to ya," he tells me.

"She's mine," Jasper growls out.

Peter and I turn to face him and Peter hangs his head. This must be Major and if he wants to play then let's show him how we play. I close my eyes and feel Warden take over.

"I'm nobody's, Major," I say looking at him.

"No eye contact, Isa," I hear Peter tell me.

"Name is Warden and I don't take too kindly to being called someone's when they didn't want me to begin with," I hiss at Peter.
