Eric and I looked between Riley and Bella. Eric had a small smile on his face and I knew he was thinking what I was thinking. Riley had his sights for Bella and it was pissing me off. I cleared my throat and Riley turned his head to look at me slowly. Bella jumped at the sound as if she forgotten they had company.

"She is mine, Riley." I growled.

Bella asked "What do you mean I'm yours?" when Riley said "I know."

"I'll tell you about it later." My eyes were locked on Riley's, we were silently communicating.

My eyes said "Don't you even think about touching her." And his just held unspoken laughter.

Eric sighed. "Riley, stop it."

"Why?" he smirked at me.

Eric turned to him with a fierce look. "Are you disobeying me?"

The look Eric gave him made him drop his gaze. "No, Eric."

Eric turned back to me. "We have much to discuss. I heard that you were asking my employees about a Jessica Stanley. Is this true?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Jessica was found dead and I just wanted to prove someone's innocent of the murder, that's all." Bella interrupted.

I glanced at her. That interruption can cost us a great deal.

"You will have no luck searching for her here. She hasn't been to this club in weeks. But there is another that I know for sure she is fond of." Eric said.

"And which one is that?" Bella asked.

I knew the answer before Riley said it. "The Crucifix Club, I own it."

Eric nodded. "Yes, it is there where this Jessica spends most of her time. Riley is the Sheriff of that district, he will show you around."

"When do you want to drop by?" Riley asked.

"Tonight would be great." Bella said before I could tell them we haven't decided.

"Riley will escort you two." Eric said.

Bella was already heading to the door when Eric caught my arm.

I looked up at him. "Yes, Sheriff."

"Keep an eye on that one." His gaze followed Bella. "She is trouble."

"How?"

"Every vampire in here has noticed her unique scent. She will attract attention, be careful."

"Has she attracted your attention?" I asked though I really didn't want to know the answer. Once Eric sees something he likes he will stop at nothing to have it.

"No, but there is someone else." His eyes drifted to the right and I turned to see what he was looking at.

A dark haired vampire I was familiar with was sitting next to a petite blonde woman. Like Bella, her outfit screamed vampire bait.

"Is that Bill Com-"

Eric spoke before I could finish what I was saying. "You must go. You do not want to leave that girl by herself."

I nodded as he freed my arm. I flitted to the car and Bella was standing next to the passenger side door.

"You know your way to the club, right?" Riley asked me.

"Yes." That one word held so much anger.

He smiled and shot up into the sky. Show off.

"Did he just fly?" Bella asked astonished.

"Yes." I was on a one word basis with her tonight.

"Can you do that?" She asked as I unlocked the doors and got in.

"No." I said when she closed the door.

Bella looked at me. "Are you okay?"

I looked at her from the corner of my eye. "No."

Then I hit the gas pedal. Hard.

The only sound was the engine roaring and the crunch of leather every time Edward gripped the steering wheel too hard. I wonder what the fuck his problem was. I asked if he was okay and he didn't even try to lie. That was a bad sign. I watched him drive. His jaw was clenched, the veins in his neck were popping out and his eyes were narrowed. I think it's safe to say Edward was pissed.

"Seriously, Edward, what is wrong with you?"

He slammed his foot on the break. The sudden stop made me jerk against the seatbelt. If I wasn't wearing one I'd probably have flown through the windshield.

"I don't know what the fuck your problem is, but that was unnecessary."

He glared at me. "My problem? You want to know what the fuck my problem is? Maybe, it's the fact that you were eyefucking a man you haven't even known for 3 minutes!"

My mouth fell open. "I was not eyefucking him."

Edward started driving again. "Whatever, Bella."

"Why are you being so hypocritical anyway? If I recall correctly, I had known you for probably twenty minutes before we had sex."

"You're not making it any better, Bella."

"I'm not trying to. Edward, I'm with you right now, okay. I don't even like Riley."

"Are you lying?"

"No, I'm not. He might be a little bit good looking, but he gives off this asshole vibe."

He threw his head back and laughed. "He is an asshole."

I took one of Edward's hands from the steering wheel and held it tightly between my hands as he drove.

After a few minutes Edward parked outside a huge nightclub. There was a neon cross the size of Texas on top of the building with the words "The Crucifix Club" written in neon script.

"Don't crosses harm you?" I asked.

"Only ones that are blessed." He responded as he got out of the car.

I followed suit and we walked up the sidewalk. There was a woosh of wind and Riley was suddenly there. His fair blonde hair glowed pink in the red neon of the sign. Riley's baby blue eyes looked down at my hand and I followed his gaze. Edward and I were holding hands and I didn't even realize doing it.

"Follow." Riley said.

Edward pulled me along and then we entered The Crucifix Club.

My eyes widened as I took it all in. The entryway was up on a platform as if the maker of the club wanted you to look over what you're getting into before you decide to enter. The dance floor was the entire place. There was just a thin line for the bar and that's it. Everything else was packed bodies from wall to wall. Strobe lights beat against the crowd turning them red and blue. The music was so loud I couldn't even hear myself think. I was pulled down the stairs onto the dance floor. Edward was dragging me in the direction Riley was walking in.

We pushed through the crowd of moving bodies. I was being pushed and bumped into, but Edward moved through the crowd as if they were moving around him.

Soon we were in a small room and when the door closed it shut all the music out. Edward dropped my hand when Riley sat down gracefully in an office chair behind a desk.

"So, what information do you need?" Riley asked.

"Well, we'd like to know what happened to this girl." I handed him an employee of the month picture of Jessica.

"Ah, I know this one. I've taken from her before." He said.

My eyes widened. Maybe Riley was the one who did it.

Riley turned his eyes up towards me. "I assure you, I wasn't the one who took her life. If I was, you would've never found the body."

I gasped and Edward placed his hand back in mine. He gave it a reassuring squeeze.

Riley laughed, the sound rubbed against your body like a simmer of silk. It made goose bumps raise against my skin. I shivered.

"Don't worry, I felt it too." Edward whispered.

Riley leaned back in the chair and rested his feet on the table edge. "Is there anything else you'd like to know?"

"Who was the last man seen with her?" asked Edward.

"Oh, Edward, you know it's against the rules to ask that." Riley's voice had a teasing tone.

"Since when did you play by the rules?" The anger in that statement made me flinch. I've never seen him this angry.

"Aw, you're still mad about Bree? It was two hundred years ago, get over it." Riley smirked.

Edward dropped my hand and charged towards Riley. He grabbed him by the shirt and lifted him out of his seat.

"You stole her from me. You took her away forever. I will never forgive you for that, not in a million years." Edward hissed.

"Who's Bree?" I asked.

Riley smiled. "Are you going to tell her?"

"In time." Edward replied

"It's a very interesting story, I might just tell Bella myself."

"Do so if you dare." The threat was apparent in Edward's words.

"Edward, you know and I know you would never have the guts to hurt anyone."

Edward grabbed Riley by the mouth. The tendons in his hands made an appearance in his skin with the amount of force he was using. Riley's eyes widened.

"Bet on it." Edward whispered.

"C'mon, Edward. Let's just leave. We got enough information, let's go." I intervened.

Edward's eyes were blazing with rage, his pupils swallowed by green. I grabbed Edward's arm and pulled.

"Edward, baby, let's go." I whispered.

The hand that was holding Riley opened suddenly. Riley fell into his chair gasping for breath.

Edward took my hand and we left Riley there with wide eyes.

When we were back in the car, most of my anger simmered down. Bella watched me as I tried to control myself. She looked scared and I didn't want that, but fuck, does Riley piss me off. I counted slowly to twenty, when I was calm enough I started the car.

After a few minutes of silence, Bella finally spoke.

"Can you tell me who Bree is?" she asked softly.

I sighed. I really didn't want to talk about this. The name Bree still sent the warmth of tears to my eyes.

"No, I can't. Maybe later on, but not now."

Bella nodded and looked down at her hands in her lap.

I quickly changed the subject. "So, did you find out anything tonight?"

She sighed heavily. "No. Nothing that can help Jasper."

I placed a hand on her shoulder. "Its okay, Bella, we'll help Jasper."

She closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the headrest. "I hope so."

Anonymous POV

The sound of her laughter came closer as she said goodbye to her friends. The click of her key in the door sent sensations of anticipation down my spine. The door creaked open and then slammed shut with her closing it.

Her footsteps came closer to the place I was waiting. Only a few more steps. My hand flexed around the knife it was holding. I couldn't wait to have the feeling of her blood against my flesh. Or the feel of my blade flowing endlessly through her. A few more steps, just a few more.

The lights flipped on and Leah looked at me with a shocked expression.

"What are you doing here, Ja - " I sunk my knife in her stomach before she could finish what she was saying.

Heated liquid flowed over my hand and I smiled. Take that you fucking fangbanger.

A/N: Okay, the ending is a bit of a mystery. So who do you think is the killer. My beta though it was Jacob and my girlfriend thinks it is Jasper, but idk tell me what you think in your review.
