We picked her up at three. She was tiny and strangely beautiful. Her mind though, was complete chaos. I was watching her being driven insane vision by vision as her human brain tried to keep up with what my vampire one could just barely separate.
"She's broken, Master."
He scoffed and went over to where the child-like body was curved around a doll and small plastic bag of her personal belongings. She's not your concern except for when and where I expect you to take care of her. She'll be changed soon. I want her, therefore I shall have her. Deal with it.
I tuned out Jasper's whispers to Alice when he knelt on the bed beside her, keeping my thoughts mindful of the other vampire in the hospital. Carlisle had done his best to have James out of the building, but it was of no use. Instead, Jasper and I were forced to enter from the roof and let ourselves in from the fire escape to avoid triggering the hunter's enhanced senses. Even still, we sensed his notice at the same time. Jasper's thoughts were filled with the same level of rage as James'.
"Go, Edward! Stop him," hit me at the same time as, "Vampires; my Mary Alice!"
With my thoughts open for any staff watching the hall, for whom would believe any patients on this floor who claimed to see a man running so fast they could not describe him, I met with the hunter on the stairs leading up to Alice's ward. It had been a long time since I had seen Aro's frequent visitor.
"Hello, James."
His ponytail seemed to hover slightly as he spun to face me. "Well, well, well. What have I caught in my web? The empath's little toy." I really had hoped to catch Jasper instead. Then, I could take him and my girl back to Aro as gifts." His thoughts waxed poetic with images of Alice being turned, and them living as royalty in Volterra. I remembered one of the last times I had seen him there and had watched Aro use him in the way I was.
"I prefer being called his 'pet,' James; and you aren't taking my Master to anyone, especially Aro. I would destroy Jasper before I allowed him to belong to that monster the way I did."
"I'm not giving you..." the choice, he finished as I jumped, shoving us both down the stairs.
I allowed him to connect a few punches and even land a shallow bite on my arm while we wrestled. The temporary wounds might garner some sympathy from Jasper, or at least his gratitude for saving Alice. Edges of the stairs were ground into dust as we rolled down them.
What is taking him so long? The window of time Carlisle guaranteed me free access to the garage is closing.
Knowing Jasper was growing impatient, I ended the battle. With a crash sounding like a bomb went off in the stairwell, I grabbed James and brought his body down over my leg, breaking his spine. It would take a while to recover from that injury, even for a vampire.
He swore silently, filling my mind with creative epithets about gifted vampires. Knowing that the fire created by destroying a vampire would most likely burn down the hospital, I opted to take the broken form to the old morgue, an abandoned room now used by staff needing a place larger than an on-call room for a quickie. James screamed, or tried to; foaming venom coated his lips. I had managed to pierce his lungs with broken ribs. While the injury was inconvenient, it would not incapacitate him.
"You are as broken inside as your singer's mind is. Even though I did not want her in the first place, I can't wait to taste her tonight; I anticipate she will be the sweetest Jasper and I share. He and I share our meals as we fuck them. Should I leave your body here and take your head with me so you can watch?"
His hatred for me grew with each word; and I knew Jasper would chastise me for my mirth. If I could not take out my jealousy on Jasper and Alice, I could use it as a weapon on my foe. "I am almost sorry about this, James. It is nothing personal; just following my Master's orders."
With my lips to his throat, I bit slowly, letting the burn sink through him. The anguish in his mind was sweet revenge for what Jasper had put me through on the third floor of our home. I would teach Jasper love and teach Alice the true meaning of torment. She would not be my first student.
I watched them, barely keeping my indifference atop the rage seated deep inside me. Jasper had dismissed my actions with a brief nod before turning back to his new thing. Distaste filled my mouth as I thought of having to drink from her. I knew without having to see his mind that he would expect me to turn her. Bastard.
I'm going to go get the car, Edward. Play nicely while I'm away. I hope I can trust you to bring her through the window when I summon you.
As he thought to me, Alice's mind lit up brightly, her new vision screaming at me. She saw me jumping through the glass with her, cutting her face. It then shifted to her holding me, as if in an embrace, and hiding her head beneath my coat. "We'll be fine, my prince. He won't hurt me like you will. Go now. I want to see if the car is as pretty as I remember it."
I gave Jasper twenty-five seconds before I pinned her to the wall. "You may be his new toy, but he'll never be yours the way he is mine."
Her smile was infuriating! I know, Mister Masen. I know everything. I know all about the rocking chair and what you keep in it." She showed me all the secrets I've tried to hide.
It hurt to think in that direction, made my brain feel as if it were bleeding. I scrubbed at my temples, pulling out my hair. "Get the fuck out of my head."
She smiled again and moved forward to nuzzle her face into my neck. "Only if you get out of mine. Fair is fair." Now, please, when he returns- go fuck your Master over my bed in a jealous rage so that you'll let us leave. I'd rather go before James puts his body back together and catches us."
Alice's mind filled with a beautiful sight. "I see this every day, Edward." After grabbing the horrid pink lotion from the food tray table, I shoved Jasper onto the hospital bed, opened his pants and mine, then lubed his cock. Alice stood back watching as I climbed up onto the bed and straddled his waist. "Fuck me, Master. Please."
Somehow, she was inside my head in the future, giving me my thoughts. I knew I would pay for begging later, but I needed him. I was going to kill the broken doll in the corner if he didn't reclaim me. Perhaps I would kill her anyways, after he filled me with his venom.
"You won't kill me, Edward. I know your secrets. I know how to make things right." She showed me digging up Bella's grave. "You want to make things right, don't you, Edward? You miss her."
Jasper's mind screamed to me from below, asking where we were. With a quick text telling him she refused to jump, he climbed to the window.
"Come in, Jasper. There is something you must do first," she cackled. "Mary and I want to see. Please let us see."
