Right, just starting the second part of the story. Updates might be a little slower than normal for me at least until another story is finished.

Chapter Forty Nine

Jasper

Peter drove one car while Emmett followed in his truck, Carlisle staying home with Esme hopefully to prevent her from contacting Edward while we were en route. I sat with Bella in the back of Peters car doing my best to talk her out of going in alone.

"Bella its far too dangerous for you to go in alone" She smiled and took my hand,

"Jasper what can he do to me that he hasn't already? I can shield you from him, I can give you the edge, he won't be able to read your thoughts as you come in. If he hears any of you then he'll run and I'll never be out of danger. Trust me" I chuckled,

"Oh I trust you. Its him I don't trust. He's fast and he's devious and he really, really wants you for himself". She squeezed my hand,

"Yes but I'm already spoken for. He'll never get me, I belong to you Cowboy."

I saw there was no way to dissuade her and saw Peter looking in the rear view mirror a resigned look in his eyes.

"Bella you sure you wouldn't like to take me in with you? I could kick his butt while we wait for the others to join us. Take a few limbs off, break his pretty face...anything you like"

Bella smiled but shook her head,

"You don't care what I want, you just want a chance to kick ass, Peter"

"Too fucking right Bells. Its been too long since we had a real live and kicking enemy."

I groaned,

"What? Its true" Peter defended himself.

"Peter shut up" I snapped and received a one finger salute in reply.

Bella

I knew neither Peter nor Jasper wanted me to go in alone but there were a few things I wanted to say to Edward in private. We got close to the hotel and Peter pulled up to let me out, Emmett's truck ticking over behind us.

"Right, give me ten minutes then you come in"

"Ten" shouted Peter, "I don't think so Bells. You get a scant five so whatever you have to say, make it fast." I slammed the car door and headed to the hotel at the end of the street. As I walked I thought about what had lead me here, marching into a vampires room to face him head on and with a cavalry of other vampires ready to take his head off at the slightest provocation.

Edward

I knew she was due very soon but I didn't believe she would be alone so I was watching out for her. When a car pulled up at the end of the road I watched, it looked like a taxi and it looked like her getting out. Why had she stopped him so far away? Was she trying to sneak up on me? Well she was about the only person on the planet who had a chance at doing just that. I couldn't read her thoughts. I couldn't read any thoughts from this distance, there were too many around me in the hotel. I already knew what I was going to do when she got here. I would reiterate my threats against Charlie and she would be a meek little lamb and come with me, this time I'd make sure she was awake. As the figure got closer I recognised her and the look on her face, caution.

She knew me well enough to know that I might try something before she even got to the hotel. I looked all around but I couldn't see anyone suspicious. Alice had been true to her word, she'd promised to deliver Bella to me when I explained that Jasper still thought about her, still had feelings for her, stupid bitch! He was head over heels in love with the human girl, My singer, My human.

Bella

I looked ahead and tried to stop my heart from hammering its way out of my chest. I was scared even though I knew the others weren't far away. He was fast, very fast and though we had the numbers, that would count for nothing if he spirited me away. If Alice or Esme contacted him then I would be walking into a trap. Putting myself back under his control. A car came slowly down the road towards me as if looking at the windows of the shops along here. It pulled up beside me and the tinted window slid down.

"Get in quick" hissed Alice "he knows it's a trick and he's coming fast"

She gestured to where a man was running very fast. I grabbed the door handle and slipped in to the car which screeched away, tires smoking. It wasn't until I looked round and saw Edwards smiling face in the back of the car that I realized I'd been played for a fool. Alice had got away from the house and must have followed us here then turned round and driven back down the road. I grabbed the handle and before she could stop me I jumped from the fast moving vehicle.

Peter

We followed closer than agreed because I had a really bad fucking feeling about all this. We still weren't quick enough though. We saw her in the distance getting into a car which sped off away from Port Angeles, towards Seattle. Jasper ran on while I called Emmett up to bring the truck, we might need it to follow them, whoever they were. My guess was Edward and accomplice, probably the mad fucking pixie. All the crap about her meeting someone else so feeling she could help Bella was just that. No one ever saw the mystery man and I doubted he even existed. Emmett drew up beside me and I jumped in the back pointing straight ahead.,

"Jazz is on foot following them. Just get us level and I'll pull the fucker out of the driver's seat straight through the fucking door".

Edward

We had her, Alice was right she was going in alone to see me, stupid girl but even more stupid Jasper and the others. Did they really think I'd wait in a box for them to just walk in and take down. I wasn't the smartest Vampire but I was far too clever to be caught like that.
