I don't own twilight

here's chapter 11

"Jasper please," Edward insisted.

I shook my head. "No." My voice held its firm, authoritative tone.

"It's been over an hour."

"Then go." I said plainly.

He looked at me sternly. "That's not what I mean," he told me.

I wanted dearly to believe he was simply bored and irritated staying out here in the middle of nowhere; that he wanted to go back to Bella, our family, and the wolves. But even as I tried to, the feeling still couldn't escape me that his last sentence reasoned with more than just self-satisfying purposes.

I glanced both ways, hoping still, that a familiar young vampire would instantly appear out of nowhere the same way she'd disappeared. Fumbling in disappointment, I sighed. It was just my brother, me, and the millions of large trees spread out among the area.

Edward believed she wasn't going to come back. Whether it because his sudden appearance had startled her away, or she was having trouble knowing where to go (seeing as this was a completely rural area) he didn't agree. And it angered me, when I knew he didn't at all like nor trust my sister. Yes, she was still a stranger to the most of us, including me. However, she wasn't a threat to us anymore. Now that she knew the facts about us and our history, I thought she might even consider us somewhat friends.

Not to mention, to add to my case, her emotions were amazingly stable. That is when we talked things over a normal rate. But, as far as I knew, there was no trace of false facts or exaggerations in her emotions.

"Jasper," he said my name again, but with this time an edge of exasperation. It was like he was eager to relieve himself of something important.

I narrowed my eyes. "What?" I questioned.

Assuming he could picture the look on my face, he didn't look at me. Instead it looked like he was wishing he didn't say anything. Then just when I was starting to think he might not answer me, he said, "She's hiding something."

Silence dove in between us, instantly, and kept that way for quite a while. I didn't say anything. And he didn't say anything. Knowing him, he was already listening in to my head trying to dig out whatever response I had of his saying. But not this time would he be able to pull it off for I was utterly appalled.

It was like I had frozen into a statue only this form felt more solid and permanent. And I mean that in a literal way as of I moved as much as I thought. Nothing could possibly split through the block in my head during that bizarre, awkward moment. All I could do was feel the staggering knives of shock strike my nerves.

Finally giving it a moment, the pounding side effect wore off some and I found my voice. "Excuse me?"

He shook his head. "Never mind," he said quietly. "Are you sure you want to stay out here longer?"

I didn't reply.

"I told Alice I'd come back with you."

Did that include or exclude Elizabeth? I asked him. My voice was lost again at the thought.

He didn't answer.

I knew he waiting for me to answer. It was obvious he-as well as our family-was wanting me to come back home. Alice and several others were more than likely apprehensive over my departure.

Then there was my sister. She was still out there, somewhere wandering the land. Just the thought of leaving that young creature alone on this foreign ground strangled me awfully. Every time I thought of her I didn't think of the fierce warrior I saw just the other night. But a girl, a simple young girl lost and vulnerable.

The decision was all up to me.

(Five minutes later)

Edward explained to everyone of what happened at the time he arrived to the scene between my sister and me. They were all in awe and satisfaction as he went on with the recall. Esme had given me a loving hug, and Alice was still entangled in my arms. I still, even at this moment, didn't understand the situation we all were suddenly caught up in. I felt like I was missing something remembering how relieved and jovial my wife was when she spotted me coming. (of course, she already knew I was coming a few minutes ahead of time)

When Edward had finally finished the story all eyes turned back on me. I didn't even have to rely on their expressions to already know what it was. "Jasper," Alice asked softly, looking up at me both sweetly and curiously, "what was it that happened before Edward came along?"

I swallowed. It wasn't the question itself that got me going sensitive; it was the thought of Elizabeth. The statement Edward had told me earlier hadn't gone away yet, and I was still trying to figure out what it must be if what he was saying was true. Could it be? He wouldn't lie about something like that, I know. But if he's not lying then. . .what was it she was hiding?

Then a random thought popped inside my head questioning me on whether I would ever even see her again. For all I knew she was half way around the world already. In fact, she could be glad or even happy to finally be away. She could be thinking all this was just a joke and laughing about how foolish we, and especially me, were to believe it.

A sudden block of sadness spread over me. Grief and embarrassment filled me excessively. And what I found even more ironic was that I couldn't bring myself up to feel the least bit of anger toward her.

Then on the other hand-on the side with a lot less pain-I saw her the truthful, innocent child she was. But to add to that theory, there was also the sure chance she was still browsing through the woods utterly lost and looking for me. . .

Either one was awful, however I couldn't prove either.

"Jasper?"

I turned to Alice's curious expression and remembered.

"Oh-" I stuttered. "We just-" Looking at her as I said this, I was suddenly cut off at her sudden expression. Her eyes went blank as her jaw relaxed. Instantly hesitant, I held her closely to me, waiting.

Everyone was silent while waiting for her. It was like at that moment the main topic had turned from me (thank God) to the cryptic vision Alice was seeing. We could only imagine what it would be this time.

At the sight of her expression returning to its normal shape, I sighed a heavy breath of relief. I didn't know why, but was highly eager to find out what it was.

She blinked.

"Well?" I asked, holding her delicately.

As if she had heard my voice from across the room, she swung her head to the back doors next to us. Following her gaze, we all glanced at the closed back door, as if at any moment they would blow up. Keeping a steady voice, I said, "What is it?"

"She's coming," a voice that was not Alice's replied. I looked at Edward across from me and gave him a guilty look. He knew what I feeling and nodded.

"No," I heard Alice argue. It sounded as if it was more to herself than us. She closed her eyes shut and put her hands on the side of her head. She exasperated, "I can't tell-she keeps changing her mind!"

"What do you see?" I asked her solidly. I wanted deeply to know, to know if I was just a second's start away from seeing her again.

Her mouth twitched. "I keep seeing her come, but-then she disappears." Giving it another second, she froze. Fluttering her eyes back open and spotting the peculiar look on her face I knew exactly what the result was. "She's coming," she confirmed.

Keeping her gaze on the door, we waited.

A second later a wave of dark silky smoke erupted out of thin air, and a small thin body emerged from the darkness. Elizabeth stood before us, and I got a feeling she was somewhat prepared for this greeting. (again) On the other hand, I caught something else I didn't expect just looking deeper at her expression. If it wasn't for my gift I wouldn't had noticed, but now analyzing it, it was starting to really seem like she had something to confess. Her eyes were a dull red, and her expression shaped the match of convicted killer about to enter court. Her lean body stood tall, but stiff as if wounded by something emotional. And I knew just what it was too.

Guilt.

"Forgive my trespass," she said under her breath. It sounded like she was just trying to be polite, and move on to other matters. Catching my presence, she turned to me and gazed as solemnly as she felt. What was she up to?

In just a flash, I found her pale arms wrapped around me. She reached just up my chest making the scene appear slightly awkward, but unimaginably pure. Taking in the absolute love and care I suddenly felt flow through my veins, I grasped my arms around her. It was too much to resist the flaming passion I felt glowing luminously amongst her. It was at that moment I truly knew how much she loved me. The idea that she was a suspected liar burned me with hate and regret. How could I possibly take this sweet affectionate child in for a betrayer?

And then an sudden wave of grief took over.

I entangled my arms from her, and looked cautiously at my sister. She had frozen, but was holding on to me like a nail. Frustration and impatience flew through my senses and I was about to start worrying when she said softly, not looking at me, "I'm so sorry."

And in in just a second all hell broke loose.

Air ran through my fingers, shrieks broke out, and struggles were heard.

The next thing I knew Elizabeth, and both Edward and Alice were gone.

Kinda long I know, but hopefully good. I'm so glad to finally get this one out of the way, it's been on my mind forever! lol Labor Day is coming up so I'll have more time to update. Yay. So I'll more than likely have another set chapter updated by next week.

Reviews are most appreciated:)
