CHAPTER 8

Jasper's point of view

"I love you Alice." She looked so happy, lying on our very comfortable double bed, wrapped in only a sheet… A see-through sheet, a white sheet that that smothered the body of an angel! The body of my wife, naked!

NO!

Think, Jasper, you have work to do, lots of work… flexing muscles, Alice's body crumbling beneath mine. Sweat, lots and lots of sweat, my name rolling out of her mouth as she reaches her…

NO!

Work, ship's work, my duties as a member of this ship. Pulling sails, cleaning decks…

"But baby I don't want you to go." She cooed - my baby, my wife, my undoing. Oh God, the sheet slipped, her cleavage spilling through the gap. "Stay here with me, I'm sure we could…" she flipped her hair, sitting up from her previous lying position on the bed. "Find something to do."

"I –I –I mmhmm!" Her hand trailing up and down my abs, letting the sheet drop completely off her naked body, Nakedness, sex! Sex with Alice, the way every morning should start. Her hand dipped lower and lower to my swelling member. "Ohh, Alice!" I heard myself moan, she knows how to make me groan her name in both frustration and pleasure.

THUMP!

Lifting my heaving eyelids, morning light burning my eyes, I see Edward, oh gosh; Edward and Alice are brother and sister him seeing her like this, naked jerking me off, her husband, a member of his crew its uncomfortable and really indecent. I was pulling Alice out of Edwards's line of sight. She tumbled to the floor with a thud. I glanced down at her to see if she was ok but she was scrambling for the long forgotten sheet.

I turned my glare back to Edward. "What the hell are you doing here?" I all but snarled, he can't barge into my room without knocking, no matter whether he owns the ship or not.

Returning my glare he quickly responded with his icy tone. "Well if you weren't so busy with my little sister molesting each other instead of working where your supposed to be than you would have realised that there is something really important to discuss about our current situation."

Wow Edward is using formality, that's new he isn't even polite to his own parents. "Is it really important or can it wait…" I gestured to Alice and my current positions. "Later?"

"No!" he shook his head. "We need to talk now." He turned around and walked out of our room before closing the door behind him.

"Fucking old, wooden doors." I muttered. "They should have made them lockable!"

"What did you say?" my goddess asked.

I smiled and pulled my pants up my legs "I said, we'll finish this later!" I winked and went in search of my shirt; her light giggle was audible from the other side of the room. And there it was, hidden underneath the large desk…

"Hurry up!" was screamed from the deep voiced male on the other side of the door.

Looking back at Alice I winked again. "Don't let my dear brother eat you alive" she giggled. "That's my job!"

My mouth dropped open, man I loved that woman, "I can't wait to get back" I moaned, "you never make it easy for me to go to work."

Forcing the door open I noticed Edward pacing back and forth the corridor between my room and the kitchen. When he heard the door slam shut behind me, he turned in my direction "I don't know what to do, Jasper!" he sounded desperate, Edward Cullen has never sounded desperate before, he's always been strong facing danger and the large possibility of death head on.

Never in my whole friendship with the Cullens have I ever seen him look and sound so defeated. "What's got you all bothered man?" I had to ask, he was freaking the hell out of me. "Is it something to do with the route, the crew, and the next victimised ship?" There was a long silence, I don't know if it was me and my worries but it seemed like hours."Dude what the fuck is wrong?" he still stayed silent looking down at his shoes with a guilt ridden emotion crossing his features. "Answer me damn it! What the hell is wrong?"

He tore his eyes from his glossy shoes onto my worried face, "I fucked up man!" his face turned a light shade of pink "I fucked up real bad, what the hell am I supposed to do?"

Feeling exasperated - he wasn't telling me anything, just increasing my worries, why wasn't he telling me anything, he was the one that said that he needed to talk to me! "Man, I can't help you unless you tell me what the hell is going on!" I yelled, my voice sounding hoarse to my own ears.

"How can she do this to me?" he yelled. Wait, she? Who is she? "I mean she just waltzes on my ship, acts like a guy and then wham! She's a girl, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." Oh, he was talking about Bella, the tag along. "And she looked so tough and strong but then last night, she let me in she broke down in my arms. I have never felt so helpless in my whole life!" he looked up at me. "What the fuck is wrong with me man? Why does she have such an effect on me?"

I looked deep into his eyes and saw the same expression I saw only moments ago in Alice, when she was looking directly at me. He's in love! Edward, cap'n Edward was in love with - a stowaway no less.

"Oh man" I chuckled. "You're really in the shit aren't you?" He glared at me from under his eye lashes but I went on."You in love man! You love the 'kid that killed half the crew'" I smirked and he glared.

"How do you know?" Geez is he really this stupid?

"Ok Ed, I'll give you a question, um, are you feeling very protective of her?" I coughed I think I can answer that myself; his facial expression supplied me with the answer I had already assumed. "Ok what about lust, how much in comparison to the other women you used to do?" laughing inwardly he shook his head refusing to answer.

"Nah man this is stupid, I don't want to do this anymore! Besides that is not my biggest problem." He sucked in a large intake of breath. "Um I don't know how to say this but we have two very large problems, we are in the middle of a Rosalie meltdown that's only going to get worse…" He breathed in another heavy breath worrying me even more; the first problem was bad but not the worst that could happen. "Rosalie…" he coughed uncomfortably. "Rosalie is Bella's sister!"

I let it all sink in: Rosalie is having a meltdown, Bella is Rosalie's sister, hmm, what the fuck? "Wait dude did you say sister, as in biological sister?" he nodded his head in confirmation. "So you mean as in the same parents?" he nodded again this time more solemnly, oh god same parents. Bella's father was the captain of Bella's ship, the captain we killed. "You mean…" he nodded again already knowing my train of thought.

Breathing heavily he answered my unasked question. "We killed not only Bella's father but Rosalie's." He smiled lightly; mockingly. "The shit is going to hit the fan when she places the pieces together!"

"We just need to hope that it's not anytime soon - we have enough to deal with, and knowing Rosalie, she'll figure it out sooner than we hope!" He nodded

Great!"What are we going to do about Emmett? He's not going to be very appealed by the idea of Bella being Rosalie's sister, Bella kicked her ass and in case you don't remember he got Bella pretty good!" I looked back into Edward's dark green eyes, Instead of having the usual emotionless, cold stare they held anger, no rage.

I would hate to be Emmett right now. "Dude you are so in love with her," I tried to joke, changing the subject to get his mind off murdering Emmett, he gave me his angered stare making me subconsciously flinch, his stare could take down any self respecting man.

"What Emmett did was wrong and he needs to learn that." He began to walk towards the main hallway that leads towards his bedroom, which Bella occupied, and Emmett and Rosalie's bedroom.

"Man wait!" I grabbed his arm.

"Ahhh!" a disgruntled scream came from the opposite direction to Emmett's room; it came from Edwards's room!

Rosalie's point of view

It was just last night that everything happened, just last night Bella jumped over board and I jumped over after her. Emmett tried to drown my baby sister, Edward revived her and she looked at me with the worst fear I had ever seen reflecting off her face. And just last night I locked Emmett out of our bedroom and the longest time I haven't talked to him for.

I should feel guiltier than I do but I have gotten less than two hours sleep, my mind has been going on overdrive - Bella is here on the boat with me and Emmett! The sister I hadn't seen in more than five years, the sister I don't know anymore. I don't know what scared me more, that I don't know her anymore or that she doesn't seem to want to know me.

I love her more than anything and I had been more than selfish in running away from home, away from dad and mother, oh how I missed mother and our numerous shopping trips. Shopping with Alice just isn't the same as with mother, with Alice it's all about would Jasper like this, but with mother it's all about the time together. I can't wait to see her again! Oh how I missed you mother!

BANG BANG

A loud squeak made it past my lips, someone was banging at the door, this is the first night or morning I have ever woken up without Emmett unless he was already with the crew. No one ever bothered me because I was Emmett's wife, he could take down anyone and everyone.

BANG BANG

Another squeak escaped my lips, "Go away, or Emmett will come and rip you limb from limb." I yelled with more confidence than I actually felt. Shit I was so scared I thought I might soil myself. If I wasn't the proper young lady I should be I probably would have.

"Rosalie, it is Emmett. Remember, your husband?" He has some nerve to come here after all he has done to me and to Bella, he nearly drowned her.

"No, go away Emmett, I don't want to talk to you, now or a very long time away from now!" hearing him wanting to talk just fuelled my already angry mind. "You fucked up real bad Emmett and I don't want to be near you!"

There was a soft jingling of keys on the other end of the door and I know he must have been unlocking the door, but luckily I had already perceived it and had the dresser against the door, jamming it shut.

The lock clicked open and the door budged open ever so slightly, exposing my light white and pale blue night dress to the sliver of sunlight coming from the opened door. "Please Emmett, just go away. I don't want to talk to you!" I breathed in loudly and exhaled, this was harder than I thought it would be.

"Rose I am coming in one way or another, either you let me in or I barge my way through." He sounded angry - why the hell he would be angry when he has nothing to be angry about?

"There is no way in hell I'm letting you in here, and don't even think about coming in here. I will smash the shit out of your face you have no idea how angry I am at you!" How dare he, he has the audacity to boss me around in my own room.

BANG!

He pushed the door open the rest of the way sending the dresser flying into the wall beside me, I let out a very noticeable flinch, and his facial features softened. "Rose!" He reached out to me, as if grabbing my hand would make everything better.

I pulled away; I didn't want to be near him, not after he did. "No Emmett, did you not hear me before? I don't want to be near you, I don't want to hear your voice. I want to be left alone."

"You kicked me out of the bed you barricaded the door and locked it, I'm your husband you're supposed to talk to me not ignore me. What did I do wrong?" He seriously asked me what he did wrong. The anger flared and I was going to raise my voice if he asked another stupid question. "Baby, please talk to me!"

"Baby, baby!" I yelled in frustration. "Don't you dare call me baby, not now not EVER!" he was so dense when it came to me sometimes, like now I wonder why I married him at all. "You know exactly what you did, you nearly killed her. You could have killed Bella!" I screamed blood was flooding to my naturally pale face, not in embarrassment but in anger. "After all I have been through to be with you; after everything I have given up, you tried to kill the one thing I missed the most out of all of it! You tried to kill Bella." My throat was killing me; it felt like my nails were clawing at my throat. The pain was unbearable but I kept yelling.

Looking at me questioningly, Emmett asked sneeringly, "what does SHE have to do with anything? She slapped you, could have broken your nose? Yet you jumped in after her, you dived down to save her. Why Rose? You could have killed yourself!"

"Yeah I could have, but it would have been worth it! You tried to kill her Emmett; you ignored me when I begged you to stop…"

"She was hurting you baby she made you bleed! I couldn't let her hurt you, I said so in my vowels." He said, smiling slightly. It would have made me melt if it was any other situation than this, now, him trying to kill Bella.

"But what you didn't realise was that you were hurting me more than she was!"

"Baby, Rose I have never, EVER laid a hand on you and you know I never would, how can you say that let alone assume I would?" his face changed from one of guilt to one of unbearable pain. Pain I had caused but he didn't get it, he didn't understand me.

"I'm not talking about physical pain hun, if you would have killed her," I breathed deeply, even thinking of her death pained my lowly heart. "If you would have killed Bella, I wouldn't have been able to live." Tears building in both our eyes, outsiders would have never been able to guess that mere minutes ago we were screaming at each other.

"I don't understand what you're saying." His eyes moving from my own eyes to the bed we are now sitting on and the dresser against the wall. "Do you not want to be with me?" voice shaking with his insecurities I don't know what would pain me more a life without Emmett or Bella.

"No I'm not saying that, all I'm insinuating is that Bella is she is my sister. My baby sister." Looking at me directly in the eyes his mouth opened with surprise and shock.

"S-s-sis, sister?" he gaped "as in biological sister?" I nodded my head. "You never told me you had a sister, why did you never tell me?" his eyes softened.

"It hurt too much, she was so little and fragile. I loved her more than anything; leaving her behind was the hardest decision I ever made. I didn't want to burden you with my sadness."

"You're my wife Rose, your worries are my worries, and I love you more than anything. Why was she so angry at seeing you, I'm sure it would have been a shock but why was she so… enraged?" He asked, embracing me ever so lightly. Guilt shook my body as I finally let out the many tears I had been trying desperately to hold in.

"I never told her," I sobbed, turning my head into his chest his grip on my waist tightened, in anger or reassurance I don't care, it made me feel safe. "No one knew. I claimed to be dead, she thought I was dead." The tears wouldn't stop. "She didn't know and now she's on this ship with us, hating me and you. Already tried to commit suicide, nearly drowned and refuses to see me. I don't even know how she got on here, she's not a pirate, mother never let her on father's boat unless there was a proper tutor and it was the summer. It's neither!"

I pushed myself so I could look directly into my love's eyes, there were tears waiting to spill from his own eyelids, his expression showed a great amount of guilt and loyalty. "Emmett, what's wrong?"

"Rosy, I know why she's here, but you're not going to like it!" his voice was hoarse and not in the sexy way but the scare me out of my wits way.

"Em…"

"Argh!" a loud girls scream floated into our ear drums, the voice so familiar. Coming from the opposite direction of my room, Edwards's room where Bella's staying.

"Bella," I whispered before jumping up from my previous position on the bed beside Emmett to running down the hallway to Edwards's room, barely aware of Emmett barrelling down behind me.

My sister is in trouble and I'll be damned if I'm not be there to protect her.
