Chapter 5

Flying

A/N: Long time no see. I know it's been a very long time since I last updated, but I haven't had much inspiration to write. But today I buckled down, and got to work, to get this chapter out. Now, since it's been over a year, I know I have probably lost a lot of my readers, so depending on the amount of reviews saying you are still with me, will determine if I should continue this story.

I hope you enjoy3

-Flashback-

Jasper's hands came to rest on my hips and he stilled inside of me as we both came down from our highs. I leaned down to kiss his lips gently letting the aftershocks of my orgasm pulse through me as the cool outside air brushed over our naked bodies.

"I love you baby" Jasper moaned at the taste of my lips.

"Baby? I thought I was your Darlin'" I teased.

His eyes turned serious. "You are so much more than that Bella. You are my everything." He lifted me slightly so that he could slip out of me, moving me from where I was straddling his hips to sitting on his lap, my back pressed to his chest.

"You are my everything too Jasper. More than that, you are my entirety."

"That is the same thing Bella." I felt his amused smile press into my neck, placing a small kiss on my mark.

"I know but it sounds cooler." I smiled and pushed back on his chest so that we were sprawled out on the blanket he had brought, staring up at the stars.

He chuckled softly before we both fell silent, gazing at the sky.

A flicker of movement caught my eye above us.

"Look Jasper, a shooting star!" I pointed to it for him.

He began laughing. "Bella that's an airplane." He managed to get out between fits of laughter.

I pouted and kissed his lips lightly. "A girl can dream."

-End of Flashback-

I had never liked flying. I had always preferred to go by car, something Emmett would never let me live down.

"One of the world's most powerful creatures, a vampire, and a gifted one at that, is afraid of flying." He boomed with laughter.

"Shhhh, keep it down!" I hissed at him. He could be so impulsive at times.

I looked around the plane to see if anyone had heard his obnoxious, but true statement. Fortunately, the humans were asleep, and Peter looked like he was trying to.

Edward was sitting next to Keegan, looking to be in some sort of deep conversation about Keegan's power.

I closed my eyes, beginning to think Peter had the right idea. With everything going on, I had never felt more exhausted in my life, and longed to be able to sleep, to escape it all.

I kept my eyes close as I reflected on the past few days.

We had learned that Edward knew something, but this 'alter ego' of his was keeping it locked inside of him. The control Keegan had put on Edward had somehow manifested into this 'alter ego'. Aro of the Volturi had the power to see into Edwards's mind, to be able to read all of his thoughts, including the ones locked away. We were hoping that Aro would help us due to his friendship with Carlisle, but Edward and I both knew it was likely he would want something from us in return. But there was no way I would pass up an opportunity to find out any information I could about Jasper.

I was shaken from my thoughts when I felt somebody occupy the vacant seat next to me.

I looked up to see Emmett in that seat. "How you doing Bells?" He asked, with a look of genuine concern on his face.

"I'm alright I guess. Anxious to get there and see what Aro can dig out." I glanced back at Edward, who was still deep in his conversation.

"Yeah, me too. But, you know he won't just do this out of the kindness of his heart. We know him too well for that." Emmett looked worried.

"Bella, what if he-"

"Emmett, it doesn't matter what he asks of me. Getting Jasper back is top priority for me- no matter the cost." I looked straight ahead, not meeting his gaze.

"He's going to ask you to serve for him. And if you're willing to do that, then fine, that's your choice. But, what about Edward?" His voice had dropped down into a whisper.

"He won't be as happy and dandy about serving Aro as you are." He added.

"First of all, the thought of serving Aro does not make me "happy and dandy". It repulses me to think of some of the things they do there, and about Edward…"

I turned to face him, lowering my voice so that only he could hear me.

"He wants Keegan's influence out of him more than anything. He'd be willing to do anything to get it out. Now, I may be chasing the wrong path here, but the things he said and did, the way he looked and acted, that's a hell of a lot similar to when Jasper's "Major" comes out. If Aro can't help Edward, I'm guessing Jasper might know something about it."

Emmett nodded, but looked like he wanted to say something more.

"What?" I asked him.

"I just want to look out for you. I want what's best for you, and I know that serving Aro will be the exact opposite. Do you think he will let you choose your own diet there? He wants the best of the best, and that could mean he'll make you feed on humans." His body was tense as he tried to get his message across.

"Then I feed on humans." Getting Jasper back was the most important thing right now, anything else was just detail.

"Bella-"

He was cut off as Peter put his hand on his shoulder. "Maybe you should go back there." He nodded towards Emmett's original seat.

With one last concerned look towards me, he nodded and took his previous seat, and Peter plopped down next to me, not saying a word.

"Thanks Pete." Was my simple reply.

He just nodded before going back into "sleep" mode.

I looked out the window, watching the dark clouds beneath me.

Suddenly my vision shifted, and a sharp pain shot through my head before the world closed around me.

It was dark.

Cold.

Things were fuzzy, and my head hurt.

I tried to open my eyes, but did not have the energy to do so.

I could feel something tight, restricting my neck, arms, and legs.

Why was I shackled?

Where was I?

How did I get here?

I tried to move, with no such luck.

"Quiet! He's starting to wake up! Let me concentrate."

Before I could even think about the voice, a sharp ringing sounded through my ears, and I felt myself floating back into the darkness.

Yes, the darkness was good. Safe. Warm….

I jerked upright, feeling my mind return to my body.

"Bella, what is it?" Peter asked nervously, looking at me.

"Jasper." I gasped out. "It was Jasper."
