Chapter 26: What Jane Has to Say

Bella looked all though the Cullen's home. "Where is Charlie?"

Jane held onto her arm. "I have something to tell you."

Bella cared very much for her friend. Sometimes, Jane had been her only friend. The two would stay up and talk about their plans for the future for hours on end. "You know. Tell me."

Jane did not want to tell her. They had been friends for a long time. Most vampires did not like to be near her but Bella had befriended her for some reason. "Charlie was meant to go with us back to the Voliri."

That made no since. How could Charlie, an average police officer, have any reason for going with the Valori? "Jane, I don't believe you."

"I know you think you know how you may have met Jasper but most of the memories where taken from you. You told me that you met him while pranking some young vampire. That much is true. What you didn't know was that Jasper fallowed you. He found you upside down in that tree. That was where you both shared your first kiss. Then, he helped you down. The both of you ran away together. The Voltiri tried to find both of you but you came to us. You where so happy. But, Marcus became jealous. He told you to stop. Stop being happy. Then, he had both of your memberies errased until you found a human for him to be his lifemate. If he could not be happy, you could not be happy."

"What about Charlie?" Charlie could not survive in the vampire world.

"Years later, a vampire came to us with a tale to tell that told Marcus that you would want to keep the human that would be his life mate. So, when you found Charlie ... he knew Charlie was his life mate."

The others watched on in shock. How could that have happened? Most of them knew that Marcus wanted to find a new love but to take away Charlie like that was brutal. Bella cared about Charlie, so much.

"I cared about Marcus. I looked all over the world for his life mate. I could have looked with Jasper. He didn't have to watch me being happy." Bella loved Marcus but didn't know his extent of jealousy. How could Marcus leave her without a mate?

"I know you still care about Marcus." Jane knew how much Bella looked up the other vampire. She also knew that Bella thought of him as very wise and honest. What would Bella think of him, now?

"I hate that I do. I wanted him to be happy for so long." How could he do that to her? She saw the caring in his eyes. The caring for her. He should have been happy for her.

Jane stretched out her hand to touch Bella's shoulder but Bella pulled her into a hug. "Bella, you know I do not display affection in public." She wanted to hold Bella, too. Jane wanted to know what it was like to be held but it felt alien to her expectantly when others were watching her.

"Jane, I still want you to stay with me. I can look for a life mate for you." Or, that might just be what Bella told herself. She not only wanted to find a life mate for the vampire but she wanted a her best friend to stay with her.

Jane pointed to herself. "Look at me. Someone like me does not have a life mate." It was true that she had not detected a life mate in all her years.

"Maybe, and maybe not. Besides, it will give me something to do." There had to be someone out there for Jane. There had to be at least someone to love her. Someone to care about her. Someone who would not use Jane's power to their own end that loved her.

Jane didn't see why she should continue to be unhappy. "I will. I will take this step."

"Now, that I know that Charlie is safe. Jasper and I can start our life together. And, you will be happy, too." Bella knew that she would not make another trip to the place she once called home. She was lucky to have Jasper but Bella would not risk their jealously, again. She had her happy ending.

Jasper held onto Bella telling her that he loved her. Everything would be fine. They found each other.

Bella held onto him, not wanting to let him go. No one would rip them apart ever again.

Now, all she would have to would be to help Jane find her mate.
