Chapter 5: A Foreseen Phone call
JPOV
Three weeks. That was how long it had taken me to convince my so called coven, and to arrive outside the Cullen family's home in upstate New York. As usual my coven mates had tried my temper on more than one occasion.
Five minutes after I'd finished the call regarding this job James and Laurent had arrived back at their nest with two young girls. They couldn't have been more than 16 but that hadn't stopped those two sick fucks from torturing and using those girls in every way possible before they'd finally put the girls out of their misery.
I could still feel the girl's pain and fear over the abuse they took. All the while I was forced to do nothing. They were getting sloppy though. I'd even had to destroy the evidence myself to prevent discovery of what they were. This had to end. Enough was enough. I didn't know why the old man didn't just come and find out what he wanted himself from their heads. But no he'd decided it was better to plant me here in exchange for my family's lives. 10 years of servitude for each of them.
Why they were so interested in this lot I had no idea, although it was something to do with revenge and a gifted vampire, although of course the old man couldn't go against James's maker or that would cause a multitude of new problems. So instead I just had to grin and bear it whilst I found the evidence the old man needed against these three sick fuckers.
Taking a deep breath I could smell six fading vampire scents. They'd been here just a month ago, but they were gone now. Making my way towards the house I spotted a window that was open high up on the third story of the house. I quickly leapt up to it and slid gracefully into the house. I slipped catlike through the rooms memorising the scents of the vampires as I went. Three sets of couples, an unusually large coven of vampires. As I reached the lowest level of the house I was surprised to hear a melodious tune.
Cautiously I made my way towards the kitchen where the sound was coming from. Sitting on the countertop was a mobile phone plugged into the wall socket. I quickly unplugged the phone and flipped it open before warily putting it to my ear.
"At last" I could hear an exacerbated high pitched voice say to me "You've kept me waiting a long time."
"I...I'm sorry ma'm" I drawled into the phone cursing inwardly at my automatic response to the voice.
"That's ok, you didn't know. Anyway I'm Alice Cullen I believe you're looking for me and my family."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, how could this person know I would be here looking for them. "I was asked by a mutual friend to check and see how you and your family were doing Ms Cullen."
"Call me Alice please, though you have been most negligent in not giving me your name."
"I'm Jasper, Jasper Whitlock." I found himself answering her all the while wondering why I was just telling this woman whatever she wanted to know, though I knew it was a throwback to my upbringing so many years ago.
"Well Jazz, as you can see me and my family have moved to start a new life. We always welcome visitors to our home. You're more than welcome to pay us a visit although I'd appreciate it if you gave us a month or two to settle in to our new town."
Settle into a new town. How could they do that when they would have had to feed off the townspeople and what was that stupid nickname for. I had barely managed to suppress a growl at that. Who did this little bitch think she was to order me about? I was just about ready to let rip at the little bitch just as she started speaking again.
"Of course you probably won't want to do that as I assume you want to get your errand out of the way quickly. I'd prefer if the people you were travelling with didn't actually join you at our home. Instead there's a field where we play baseball. I'll send the co-ordinates to you on this phone by text. How about you all meet us there on the 20th at 6pm. That should give you and your co-travellers enough time to get here."
"Sure" I managed to stutter out when she'd finished talking. Co-travellers she called them, it was as if she knew I didn't really belong with them.
"Great well we'll see you then Jasper." The bubbly voice said before she quickly hung up on me. I just stood there for a few minutes before the phone beeped twice with co-ordinates and a map to their meeting place. Now I just had to get this sorry excuse for a coven moving yet again.
Shaking my head at the turn of events which occurred I quietly slipped out of the Cullen household again and made my way back towards where I had abandoned the coven in as I'd set out for my supposed hunt.
APOV
I hung up the phone with a smile on my face. It had all worked out perfectly; only now she finally knew what the mysterious blonde vampire's name was.
For the past three weeks I had been setting the foundations of my plan together. First step was Bella making friends with her, and keeping her alive. The first was moving steadily along, although more slowly than I would have liked. However, the second task was proving far more difficult than I could have ever imagined. It had all started that first day at school.
Flashback
After seeing Bella for the first time it had taken all of my control not to rush over and hug my future sister. However, if I had done that she would only have scared the girl off. Instead I knew I had to wait until the last period of the day.
My excitement had almost overwhelmed me, and by lunch period I was bouncing in my chair unable to sit still when in reality I just wanted to walk over to Bella who was currently sitting next to Angela, a tall girl with light brown hair that I had met in Calculus during my 2nd period class.
I could tell I was annoying Rose who kept shooting daggers at me. However, I couldn't risk their lives by revealing what needed to happen to my siblings or my mate Edward. He knew I was up to something, but I'd managed to keep blocking him for the past few weeks. If I didn't I knew he'd flip out at seeing the stream of visions I had received since that first horrifying vision of their deaths.
As lunch ended I quickly got up and gave Edward a peck on the lips as I made my way to my Art class whilst Edward headed to Biology. It was five minutes after that that things started to go wrong with my careful planning.
The visions started to hit me full force of Edward moving from student to student killing them instantly before he descended upon Bella's shocked and terrified form.
I was just about to ask to be excused so I could run to him when the visions stopped, and I saw a stressed out Edward clutching at his desk next to Bella before running out of the classroom as soon as the bell went.
Finding out that Edward was Bella's singer had came as an enormous blow to my plans, especially when he'd demanded that they leave that night. That was the only time I had ever fought with Edward. I had almost blurted out everything to him then. Instead I told him that I'd seen a future where we weren't together anymore if we left Forks now. After all it was the truth I just didn't tell him the reason why we wouldn't be together anymore was that we were both killed along with our entire family.
Instead Edward had chosen to vanish for a week and head to visit the Denali's in Alaska. I hated him being there as the girls frequently tried to seduce him, but for our family to stay alive I couldn't see any other way. Whilst he was away I started forming a tentative relationship with Bella.
When Edward returned he hadn't been too happy about my friendship with Bella which had resulted in another argument between us, although we had came to a mild impasse regarding Bella. I was been so proud of Edward for the strength he had shown in combating his thirst for Bella's blood, although I could see the trial it had been for him.
Just two days after his return though fate threw me another curveball. Bella was almost crushed by a van. My Edward surprised me yet again as he plucked the vision from my head and acted so quickly, as he managed to push Bella out of harm's way, though the argument that caused with Rose was still being felt by the whole family. Now we had another problem. Bella was becoming suspicious it was as though she was trying to remember something but wasn't connecting the dots. I knew it wouldn't be long before she had them all figured out, and then my friendship with Bella could truly begin. As far as I was concerned the sooner the better for all our sakes.
End Flashback
I couldn't help but smile as the vision hit me. Tonight, tonight Bella would appear at our doorstep demanding the truth. How this conversation went would either make or break my family. I had to make sure it made them somehow, or all would be lost.
