Chapter Nine

Alterior Motives Edward's Point of View

I was standing outside of the building with my brothers and sisters when a peculiar man walked to the door of the building, the door opened with such swiftness and closed again that I at first thought I had imagined it. The man was gone inside. I decided to take a look inside his mind. As he walked in he greeted everyone and as I dug a little further I noticed he not only looked of utmost importance, he also thought of himself this way. Then he looked upon Bella, and hatred filled his being. Jacob was explaining some sort of plan to turn Bella in to a werewolf, he explained to Jacob details he forgot, and how to bite her, and how to make sure she was completely werewolf. This man or rather dog had given Jake this obscene idea he could take her away from me forever. I then heard his thoughts and I immediately stopped my mocking.

"Silly child, he thinks he can turn her in to a werewolf, it's impossible, she does not even deserve to live. To kill her I must have everyone out of the room especially this Jacob he has some sort of infatuation with her. It makes me sick."

So this was this mongrel's plan to lure the pack to think he was to help them, only to turn on them in the end. Then Alice asked me to explain what was wrong and I told her everything I had heard and seen, and begged her to look in to Bella's future. She responded by telling me she could not see Bella as long as werewolves were in her future. I had to talk to Jacob, and tell him his supposed alli had alterior motives to kill Bella, but would he care, I pondered this for a few seconds. I finally came to the conclusion it didn't matter, I was going to go in there and find my Bella and bring her home killing all who got in my way, and then I would come back and kill all who had had a part in her kidnapping, and this reduction to fear, which no vampire should ever have we are after all indestructible. I then looked back in to the man's thoughts, and I wanted to throw up if I could, he wanted to rip every piece of flesh from Bella, crush her bones, and watch her suffer.

I had just explained to my brothers and sisters what more I had heard. I asked them if they knew of ways to penetrate the building, they all shook there heads no, until Rosalie told us it may be best if we called in the Volturi, they would not mind helping us with this task. Though I agreed with Rosalie, I didn't want the Volturi here, though honestly I asked myself what could happen, Bella is safe she is one of us now. I decided Rosalie was correct and decided to call the Volturi, I asked my sisters to go home and call upon them and explain everything to Carlisle and Esme, and I asked Jasper and Emmett to stay with me and in case this man decided to react early to help me over power him, though I had absolutely no idea how on earth I was to do this. So off my sisters went and at the building Jasper, Emmett, and I stayed.

Bella's Point of View

I had no idea who this man who had just walked in was, I wanted to look inside his mind, but I couldn't I felt so weak and so drained, though I knew I wasn't. I thought of Edward and only Edward every second, it seemed he gave me a reason to still have a flicker of hope. I thought of the way his arms encircled me, the way his eyes watched me with complete love, and how as soon as he found me he would save me, and all of these things would be mine again. Just then Jacob walked in to my prison.

"Bella what troubles you?"

"You know very well what's wrong, Jacob" I practically spit the word," You keep me in this prison, away from my family, and then you plan to change me, for your own selfish desires."

"But Bella don't you see they're not selfish I only want what's best…" I cut him off with a scream and a yelling of words," You are not what's best for me, I used to love you Jacob Black but now, I hope Edward kills you, and if Edward doesn't then I will!"

Then a new voice entered our dispute, "That will be enough leech," said the man whom had just entered the building, " we are your superiors and we will be respected.

I looked at this man in shock how dare he speak to me this way, I couldn't believe it, but it didn't take much to know he was quite serious. For some reason he looked more dangerous than the others, so I went back to thinking of Edward, and I just looked at the floor.
