A/N: Ok so here is chapter 6. I actually like this chapter, it might be my new favorite. Um, I saw your guesses for who might be the killer and you guys amazed me. Jane and Jared? I didn't even think you guys would have guessed those. So I took all the character's from twilight that names begin with "Ja" and put them in a hat. I pulled a name out of a hat and now I actually know who the killer is. But too bad you guys aren't going to be able to find out until the end of the story :) Now read chapter 6, I hope you enjoy it.

When Edward and I reached my house, Alice wasn't at home. I felt bad about not caring if she made it home or not. I went into my bedroom and plopped down on the bed. I was too tired to change my clothes. Stress exhausted me. I felt Edward lean his mouth closer to my neck. I didn't stop him at first, but when he started trailing kissed down my neck and flipped my hair out of the way so he can kiss my back, I had to.
"Edward, I'm not in the mood. My brother's in jail remember?" I rolled my eyes.
"I was just helping you out of your dress." He whispered against my skin.
"Mmhmm, sure."
Edward slowly pulled down the zipper on the back of my dress. His lips caressed every inch of skin revealed.
"Edward. . ." I warned.
"Like I said, I'm just taking off your dress." He said as he wiggled my dress down off of me.
His hands lightly trailed down my legs to my shoes. He took them off with care and kissed each ankle when he was done. When I felt a lot of bare skin on my back I had to open my eyes and turn around.
Edward was lying down next to me with just his boxers on.
"I thought you wouldn't mind me spending the night." He smiled.
"Oh, no I don't mind." I turned back around and snuggled into him. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled my back closer to his chest. I cleared my mind of all the things that happened today and just thought of me and Edward in this moment with his arms around me. I fell asleep only thinking happy thoughts.
The smell of bacon made my stomach grumble and woke me up. I felt the other side of my bed and Edward wasn't there. I sat up quickly. Edward's making breakfast? No way. I rolled out of bed and threw on a robe. I took the steps two at a time. This I had to see.
When I entered the kitchen, the sight before me made me gasp. Sunlight from the kitchen window was poured over Edward's almost naked body as he flipped pancakes. The light made him look as if he was made of millions of diamonds. The rainbows of light ricocheted off his body and made patterns on the tiled floor.
He looked over his shoulder at me. "Good morning, Bella"
I shook my head to clear it. "Good morning."
I looked at the table and there were two places made. One place at the table had orange juice and the other had Tru Blood. I sat down at the one with orange juice.
Edward slid two pancakes and a few slices of bacon from the frying pan onto my plate. I reached for the maple syrup, but his hand was already there. He poured just enough syrup on my food.
"Easy there, Betty Crocker." I whispered.
He laughed loudly as he placed the dirty pans into the sink.
I took a bite of one of the pancakes and of course it was delicious.
"Did you make the pancakes with bacon grease?" I asked.
He smiled widely at me. "Is there any other way?"
"You've been in the south too long, Yankee."
When I was finished with Edward's wonderful breakfast, I got up to put the plates in the sink, but he took them from me and did it himself.
I sat on the kitchen counter next to the sink and watched him wash the dishes.
"I noticed you didn't drink your Tru Blood, aren't you hungry?" I asked.
"I'm not that hungry and I've been enjoying synthetic blood even less than I had before."
"Why is that?"
He smirked. "Your blood kind of turned me off from any kind out there."
"Oh."
It was quiet besides the sound of water and the clinking of plates and pans.
"Do you, um, want some?" I asked unsure.
"Want some what?"
"Do you want some of my . . . blood?"
He looked up then. "You're offering?"
I nodded not trusting my voice. The only times Edward fed from me had been during sex and I was kind of occupied thinking about other things when he was drinking. I wasn't sure how it would feel like if there was no sex involved.
Edward turned off the water and stood in front of me between my legs. "What are you worried about?" He asked as his thumb rubbed over the spot between my eyebrows. I didn't even realize I pulled them together.
"I was just wondering if it would hurt."
"I've bitten you before, Bella."
"Yea, but that was in the throes of passion."
He chuckled. "The throes of passion?"
"Shut up, you know what I mean."
"I understand. It won't hurt, Bella. We vampires do this thing to humans when we bite them without sex. It's called 'rolling the mind'. I'm going to make you look me in the eyes."
I looked straight into the swirls of green and gold.
"You're going to feel like if you're as light as a speck of dust." He whispered.
My body felt as if it was floating. I couldn't feel the counter I was sitting on or the heat of the sun that was against me. All I could feel was Edward's hands on my hips and his body between my thighs.
"Relax, Bella. Relax." He lowered his face to my neck.
There was just a slight prick of pain and then my brain went on pleasure overload. My back arched and my hands went to his hair to pull him closer. I wrapped my legs around his waist. I could feel Edward at my neck, the pull of his lips on my skin as he drank.
The pleasure was intense and I screamed wordlessly to the ceiling as that pleasure hit me again and again. I felt a tightening in my stomach and my nails raked down Edward's back as the pleasure continued to build up inside of me. Edward's hand went to my hair and he held my head to the side, straining my neck.
My orgasm hit me like a scalding wave and I squeezed my eyes shut. Edward still drank, his mouth locked onto my neck. I kept gasping and my body trembled at the amount of pleasure that kept slamming onto me.
I heard someone yell. "Oh my god!" and Edward took his mouth from my neck.
My eyes opened slowly and I saw Alice standing in the doorway with her mouth dropped open. Oh, shit.

Bella's friend glared at me as I licked the few drops of blood from the corner of my mouth. Talk about first impressions. My head tilted to the side in confusion for a second, where did I see her before?
"Alice, I can explain." I heard Bella say. Her voice was a bit breathless.
I smiled a little. I didn't think I had enough power to cause that much of an effect on a human.
"There's nothing to explain, Bella! You had Dracula over here have you for a meal in our kitchen!" her friend said.
Ah, now I remember her. She was the short girl from the Fangtasia that was with Bella.
Bella tried to get down off of the counter. I pushed her gently back onto the counter.
"You're in no condition to be walking around. You need to rest." I said.
"Fine." She leaned her back against the backsplash. "Can you leave Alice and me alone for a few minutes?"
"I can still hear you no matter what room in the house I'm in." I said.
"Then just go upstairs and put some pants on." Bella said.
I walked pass Alice and she flinched at how close I was to her. Her reaction didn't bother me; I was used to anti-vamp people.
After I tugged on the pair of pants I came here with I looked around her room. I tried really hard not to listen to their conversation, but I still picked up most of it.
Bella's friend didn't like the fact that Bella and I were together. What she witnessed in the kitchen didn't exactly warm her up to me. Bella tried to reason with Alice to be nice to me and Alice said she would try. Hey, it's a start.
Soon after, Bella came stumbling into the room. She sat on the bed with a huff.
"Edward, I feel dizzy." She grumbled.
I smiled. "Take some B-12 vitamins. They'll help for next time."
She raised an eyebrow. "Next time?"
"Uh, I mean, if you don't want to we don't-"
"Edward." She interrupted. "We are definitely doing that again."
Bella got up and barely made it to the bathroom door without falling.
"Oh and Edward?" she said.
"Yes?"
"I need help getting ready."
"Okay, what do you want me to do?"
"Take out my uniform from the closet and then you need to help me in the shower."
I grinned as I took her Black's uniform from the closet. "In the shower?"
"Yes, in the shower, but no funny business."
I laid her clothes on the bed and walked up to her. "Bella, what I'm going to do to you in that shower is anything but funny." I kissed the hickey I left on her neck.
"That sounds wonderful, but I really need to get to work."
"I'll make it quick." I breathed against her skin.
"Edward. . ."
"Fine, no funny business."
"Thank you." She took my hand and led me into the bathroom.
After a no funny business shower, Bella got ready and went to work. After I gave her a goodbye kiss my phone rang.
"Cullen." I answered.
"Its Eric, we have a problem." His voice told me he had bad news.
"What kind of problem?"
"The Vampire Council wants to see you."
"Shit."
"Exactly."

As I approached the two women at table 9 with their order I heard the interesting conversation they were having.
"Ain't it a shame, another young lady dead." Mrs. Newton said.
"I don't really care; I heard it was one of those Indian girls from Ruston." said Mrs. Yorke.
"Yes, it was the one named Leah. Rumor has it that Jasper Swan is the killer."
"No, he's a good boy."
"But it's a big coincidence that Jasper was released from jail the same night she was killed."
I placed their food on the table with more force than necessary.
"What's this rumor that Jasper is out of jail?" I asked them with my hands on my hips.
"Bella, you didn't know? Jasper was released last night." Mrs. Newton said.
"Of course she didn't know, Margret, she was probably with her vampire." I never really liked Mrs. Yorke.
Mrs. Newton gasped. "That's right you're dating one of those."
I was in mid-neck roll when Tyler excused me from the table.
He pulled me into the kitchen.
"Girl, I saw the look in your eye. You was about to cuss them heffas to next week."
I laughed, it wasn't a happy laugh. "I was deciding whether to curse them out or hit them in the face with the pie they ordered."
"I would have expected you to be in a much happier mood today."
"Why is that?"
"Well, first of all your brother was released from jail and second, you have a monster size hickey on your neck."
I blushed. "Is it that bad?"
He held up a silver pan in front of me. "Look for yourself, hooka."
My eyes felt like they would pop out of my head. There was a hickey the size of Texas on my neck.
"Fuck me!" I said examining my neck closely.
"Looks like someone already has." Tyler snickered.
I rolled my eyes.
"What are you guys looking at?" I heard Jacob's voice from behind me.
My hand flew up to my neck and I turned around to face him.
"Uh, nothing, Jake." I stammered.
He narrowed his eyes. "You're a terrible liar, Bella. Whatever it is I don't want to know."
When he turned to walk away I noticed some dry brownish-red stain on the corner of his shirt.
"What's that?" I asked.
"What?" He turned back to me.
I lifted his shirt and looked at the stain. "Is that blood?"
"Uh, no, I caught my cousin Jared with red paint on his hands last night. He said he was painting the barn he's working on." Jacob stuttered a bit. He never stutters.
"Oh."
"Yea, uh, see you later, Bella." He pulled away from me and left the kitchen.
I watched him walk away with a confused look on my face. No, it couldn't be Jacob. Could it?
Work was almost done and Nessie was still whining to Jacob about the waitress issue. I have to admit with Jessica gone and the summer rush of customers, work has been overwhelming.
"We need a new fucking waitress, Jake!" Nessie complained.
"I hear you Nessie! When someone comes in for the job I'll hire them right away."
"Good, because I have someone for the Job." She smiled.
"Who?"
"You know Jane Volturi that just moved here from Connecticut?"
"Yes."
"She's looking for a job."
I chuckled as I mopped up a spill. Nessie always had a friend for everything. You need a pipe fixed; Nessie has a friend named Paul. Need a car towed; Nessie has a friend named Embry.
"Fine, bring her in."
"She'll be here tomorrow." With that Nessie skipped away.
The bell above the door jingled, signaling someone opened it. I looked up and Edward strode through the door with a worried expression.
He walked up to me. "Bella we need to talk."
"Is something wrong?"
He looked at the staring eyes around the room.
"We need to speak in private."
"Oh, okay." I took his hand and pulled him towards the kitchen.
When there wasn't anyone around to hear, I asked Edward what was wrong again.
"I have to leave."
"What do you mean you have to leave?"
"I need to go out of the state for some vampire politics."
"Why, what happened?"
"The Vampire Council has heard that I disrespected a vampire with higher authority."
"Riley?"
He nodded.
"How long will you be gone?"
"Days, weeks, months, I'm not certain."
He might be gone for months? Why did I have an urge to cry? I didn't know Edward for long. And it's not like I was in love with the guy. Yet I still wanted to wrap my arms around his neck and beg him not to go, to stay here with me. Of course, I didn't do that. Edward had business to take care of and I had no right to come in between that.
I was debating whether to say I miss you when he said it first.
"I'll miss you so much, Bella." He placed his hand on my cheek.
I leaned my face into his palm and stared into his deep green eyes.
Edward lowered his face to mine and unlike our other kisses this one felt as if it meant more. It was more passion than lust. Slow and building; lips softly brushing together. I was about to deepen the kiss when I heard a throat clear.
Edward pulled away and looked over his shoulder. Jacob stood there with a blank expression. Only his slightly narrowed eyes let me know he was angry.
"I don't pay you to make out, Isabella. Go back out there and wait those tables." Jacob said menacingly.
"Jake, we're about to close, there's only three people out there. Nessie can do it herself, I'm doing something important." I said.
He snorted. "Kissing up, lover boy is not important. Now go wait those tables."
"Fine, give me three minutes."
He turned on his heel and left. I'll take that as a yes.
"You should really be getting back to work."
"Work can wait; I want to give you a better goodbye." I bit my lip to add emphasis.
He ran his hands up and down my back. "You know how much I would love that, but Eric is waiting for me in the car."
I sighed. "Okay. Bye, Edward."
He gave me one more kiss. "Goodbye, Bella."
I watched him leave. My eyes began to water a little. I squeezed them tightly to force the tears back. I'll deal with my sadness later. I went back out there and did what Jacob told me to do.
$^*^*&%$
I've been pounding on Jasper's door for the last twenty minutes.
"Jasper Whitlock Swan, you better answer this door in the count of three!" I shouted.
"One!"
No answer.
"Two!"
I heard racing footsteps.
"Thre-"
Before I could finish he yanked the door open.
"Damnit, Bella. What do you want?"
"I need to talk to you."
"I'm kind of busy at the moment." His eyes shifted back and forth.
I cocked my head to the side. What is he so nervous about?
"Jasper, if you hadn't noticed, the entire town assumes that you killed Leah and Jessica. I need to talk to you about it."
"Call me later, Bella. I'm in the middle of something."
I pushed him out of the doorway and walked in.
What I saw bent over his couch made me turn quickly. Oh god.
"I told you I was in the middle of something." He said.
I really didn't want to see my friend Emily naked, bent over my brother's couch.
"You're suspected of murder and you have time for sex?"
"A man has needs."
I rolled my eyes. "I'll call you later, Jasper." I walked out of the door.
"Bella, wait a sec." he called out.
"What do you want?"
"Is it true? About you and that vampire?"
"Yes, it is. What of it?"
He shook his head and laughed.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"I just can't believe my sister is a fucking fangbanger." He slammed the door before I could respond.
My jaw dropped. Since when was Jasper against vampires?
$^*^*&%$ Next Morning on the News $^*^*&%$
"Miss Emily Young was found dead in a woodsy area just south of Lake Claiborne. According to Jasper Swan's neighbor, she was last seen leaving Mr. Swan's home. Mr. Swan has been taken in police custody yet again. Just like the last two women missing, Miss Young had vampire bites on her neck and inner thigh. There is a serial killer in Louisiana" Said the anchor man.
My head fell into my hands.
Dear God, please tell me my brother isn't a murderer. 'Cause I'm having second thoughts.
A/N: Dun Dun DUUUUUUN! OMG is it Jasper, is it Jacob, *gasp* or is it Jared? But Jane moved to Lake Claiborne the day before the killings started happening, is it her? Leave a review about who you think it is.
