Laurent's Message.

Jasper's POV

I smelt him, and heard him before Bella uttered his name. But I couldn't run the risk of him being aware of this and then disappearing. Soon as Bella uttered his name the three of us shot into the kitchen, were he was standing in the kitchen doorway. Laurent seem to tense at the sight of us, looks like he isn't so sharp after all. Fear seems to explode inside of him.

Interesting.

"What are you doing here?"

Good old Rosalie. Not that I'd ever use the word 'old' near her.

Man can loose something doing that one.

"I have come to give Isabella a message."

My whole body tenses, ready to spring in attack. What possible message could he...no.

"A message? About what?"

Laurent looks to Bella. The word mine screaming in my mind.

"Victoria eagerly awaits your reunion with her."

Snarls come from myself, Emmett and Rosalie. I shoot in front of Bella protecting her.

"Why would that insane bitch want a reunion with Bella?"

Glad it was Emmett who asked. I don't think I can form any sentences right now, and just to piss me off some more. Laurent thinks its appropriate to laugh. Dumb shit.

"For revenge of course. Killing James wasn't a smart move."

"Neither was you agreeing to be her little message boy. Thought you had found your mate Laurent."

Not to sound like I underestimated her or anything, but I'm impressed with Bella right now. Proud even. The smirk on Laurent's face disappears.

"How do you know of Irina?"

"Never mind that. How do you think...Irina is it? How do you think Irina will feel knowing that you allowed a deranged vampire attack a human? Especially when you're trying to be a good little vampire."

I think Bella may be spending too much time with Rosalie. But damn is it hot seeing her all cunning and a little evil at the same time. Laurent decided to snarl at my girl. OK, I need to get this under control.

"You can do nothing to me human."

"Really? Funny, Victoria doesn't seem to share the same idea. Apparently I have some super human strength if she's blaming me for James' death...no. Wait. I don't. That would be the work of Jasper and Emmett. So Victoria's just showing even more what a spineless bitch she really is. After all. She's got you willing to commit suicide simply over delivering a message to me."

I don't know where all this was coming from. But it seems to be making Laurent do some much needed thinking, especially if he wants to keep his pitiful existence.

"She want you to do anything else for her Laurent? Does she want you to rip my throat out yourself?"

Laurent suddenly seem to become rather sheepish.

"Take you to a location and hand you over to her."

Bella scoffed.

"Beware the threat of Victoria. The great evil mastermind that sends others to do her dirty work, you know guys I think we may have just discovered Voldemort's long lost sister."

Emmett sniggered, but I could tell from his emotions he wanted to fall onto the ground laughing. Rosalie even had a snigger slide out. Laurent however seemed to start realising just how much trouble he allowed himself to get into.

"Go back to your mate Laurent, whilst you still can because I can't guarantee that these three will let you leave if you piss us off anymore than you already have."

Was she serious? I felt disbelief coming from everyone. Laurent soon realised that he was being given a very slim chance to continue with his existence. He was half way out of the door when I called after him.

"You come anywhere near Bella to harm her again Laurent. Bella's being extremely merciful by letting you leave in one piece, she just saved your pitiful life. Be a foolish way to repay her if you continue to help Victoria."

With that he was gone. Everyone was silent for a few minutes, eventually Rosalie broke the silence.

"I'll call our dear cousins, let them know that Laurent is still undecided about his loyalties."

"I'm gonna help you dial babe."

Soon Bella and I were left alone. Straightening up I turn to look at Bella, I could feel fear starting to set in.

"You are the most compassionate merciful woman I've ever met. But are you sure..."

"I'm not going to run the risk of having yet another vampire wanting to kill me just because her mate is a complete and utter dumbass prick."

There was fire in her eyes as she spoke. It was rather unfair that Victoria was laying blame on Bella, after all it was myself, Emmett and Alice that killed James. Which is his own fucking fault anyway. Wanting to hunt down my mate...shit. Damn it Jasper get your shit under control.

"Jasper? Are you OK? You've been acting weird since you got back."

Shit. She's noticed. Course she's noticed she's my damn mate, and a very hot observant...stop it.

"Yeah. We need to call Carlisle and Esme about this."

Bella's eyes flashed. They still hadn't got in touch with her themselves, despite wanting to. It was starting to make Bella angry, doubting them. Which is natural. I watch Bella walk into the living room before I close the back door. Locking it. Not that such things make a difference against a vampire but it's a good alert system.

Entering the living room I find that Rosalie and Emmett aren't there, but Bella is lying on the couch flicking through the channels. Sighing silently to myself I sit down in Charlie's lounger.

"What's going to happen?"

"I don't know. But we need to start planning."

Just then Rosalie and Emmett returned. Rosalie looked rather pissed.

"I can't believe it."

"What's wrong sis?"

I felt Rosalie's joy at hearing Bella say sis instead of Rosalie or Rose. It was a great relief to know they were getting along now.

"Nothing really. Just Tanya trying to flirt with MY mate and husband. Bitch. I would love to scratch her eyes out."

"I'll have a small pyre waiting for when you do."

Rosalie chuckled rather evilly. Oh these two are gonna be dangerous to mess with.

"Remind me to never piss you girls off"

Thank you mister obvious. Rosalie moves to sit down on the couch with Bella.

"We need to call Carlisle and Esme."

There is silence. We know it has to be done, maybe then Carlisle and Esme will actually talk to Bella. Emmett sits on the floor in front of Bella, stealing the remote.

"HEY!"

"Your flicking Bella-boo. That's the third time since I got in that you've hit that damn channel. The rule book of Emmett Cullen states the remote is now free for stealing."

Bella looks to me a look of complete annoyance and confusion on her face.

"Why in the hell am I not surprised the man has a rule book on the TV remote?"

I could do nothing more than chuckle.

"Why do all of you keep picking on me?"

"You're an easy target plain and simple."

"OK, you are getting mean."

Rosalie looked at Bella proudly.

"She's learning from the mistress of mean. I expect nothing less."

Just as we were starting to relax I am greeted with the very unwelcoming stench of wet dog. Rosalie, Emmett and I exchange looks of annoyance. Rosalie saying what all three of us are ultimately thinking.

"You have GOT to be kidding me!"

"What?"

In true Emmett fashion, he decides to defuse the situation.

"Nothing to worry about yet Bella. We just need to put the dogs back on their leashes and ship off to the owner."

Bella just looked confused whilst myself and Emmett went to deal with the La Push pack.

Now I know what you're thinking.

Is the fun EVER going to end?
