Whoops, school and work have kept me away! But here's chapter three :] And I know it's semi short but I'll be updating chapter 4 by Monday. I just wanted their meet in the mountains to be in one chapter.

Thanks for the reviews :]

*I don't own anything Twilight*


(—After school—)

The Cullens stayed in the College dorms instead of getting their own place- Edward's idea to keep Bella's life as normal as possible. Jasper and Edward each had their own room but Edward made sure that Bella and Alice would share a room, for security purposes.

"Ah, I remember now," Carlisle said, "while I've never heard of Jason, I know a bit about Gabriel and Clarisse. Gabriel has a strong gift, he can conceal others abilities for anyone around him. He is timid and weak though, at least in mind. He never wished to become a vampire, he's actually afraid of them. But Clarisse wanted a companion toy and transformed him. She's a cruel one, of course- she could have changed, it has been many years. I imagine that since they attend school they must mean no harm."

Edward's expression didn't changed, he asked, "Tell me more, how do you know this? And you have absolutely nothing on Jason?"

"When I lived with the Volturi," Carlisle continued, "she was brought to us. Clarisse had gone through a lot of torture and pain in her human years, which is why she grew a mindset of hatred for the humans. She killed too many at one time, but her life was spared because of her gift. She accepted to serve the Volturi and did for some time until she left. Last I heard she had transformed Gabriel, to use as her puppet. The Volturi paid no mind to that though; it didn't really pose a threat, as long as she maintains her hunts and feedings...fair."

"And Jason?" Edward insisted.

"I'm sorry son, I don't know who he is." Carlisle said.

Edward handed the phone to Jasper after giving Carlisle a small, "Thanks."

"Yes….All right…Tonight…Yes, we'll let you know everything. Thank you." Jasper spoke on the phone to Carlisle.

Jasper then looked at Edward, "We'll make our conclusions and plans after we hear them out."

Edward nodded.

"Let's go get the girls." Jasper said walking towards the door.

"Bella is not coming," Edward quickly said. "No way in hell. We don't know what their intentions are."

"Bella won't take no for an answer." Jasper warned.

Edward walked towards the door now, "There won't be a 'no' because this isn't a question. She's not coming."

Once Jasper and Edward arrived to the girls' dormitory building they quietly and smoothly went up the stairs to Bella and Alice's room. Once there, to their surprise, a red eyed Clarisse answered the door.
