Jasper POV




I was sitting at the dining room table.Alice is dicussing details on thins from the vision she had of Rosalie that she just told us about.Carsile is calming down Esme, while discussing with Alice, Esme is now dry sobbing into his chest.I try to calm her with a few waves of calm I send her way.This was really taking effect on Esme.

I can now hear edward.His quiet footsteps are getting closer to the stairs.Bella is asleep now, I can hear her even breathing upstairs and her soft snore.

Rosalie has been missing for an giờ and 30 mins now.There's so much sadness coming from everyone else in the house, that I'm actually feeling quite depressed myself.Even though Im not that upset Rosalie is gone.I thought of it thêm as a nice quiet vacation.I don't think I can stan much thêm of this.

As I was getting up to go outside, I heard edward call for us all to come quick from the other room.Alice and I were the first to reach him.He didn't say anything, he just pointed to the far corner of the backyard.I heard Emmett, Esme, and Carsile quietly come in behind us.

We all followed to where his finger was pointing.The room was now full of Confusion, curiousity, an anger?Must be coming from Edward.Then I finally saw it.It was a tall figure.I could just make out the figures shape under the dim moonlight.

I put my arm around Alices waist and tightened my hold.I knew that If the figure, whatever it was, came to fight us she could handle herself, but she was still my wife.I truly couldn't take a chance of losing her.I truly am nothing without her.She showed me hope, A better way at life.

"What do bạn think he wants?" Esme asked quietly.Her emotion now was as sad as her voice had sounded.

"Im not sure" Edward answered her, his voice cold and emotionless.

I decided to speak up. "Should we go see?" I asked sugestivly.Surely whatever this creature is we can destroy it if neccesary.They're six of us and he's alone.

"No Jazz" Alice, my love, murmured.She still hadn't taken her gaze away from the figure, who seemed to return the gaze.

"Jasper we don't know for sure that hecame alone.The others could be hiding for all we know." Edward agreed.

If there were thêm than you'd beable to hear their thoughts, right? I knew Alice couldn't see them but Edward could hear them couldn't he?

He shook his head fiercly. "No, I can't hear them.Somehow he knows how to block our talents." He replied, anger coloring his voice.

It angered me too that whatever this was could possibly surprise us.Now that we didn't have the advantage of using Edward and Alices Talents.

Edward headed upstairs, probably to get Bella.Hopefully there weren't thêm of them.They could have taken Bella bởi now and we wouldn't have noticed.With all us down here completely paying all our attention to the one figure standing at the corner of our yard.I heard Edward quicken his footsteps at the thought of that.

That's when it occured to me how bad that would really be.If Bella was kidnapped as well, then Emmett and Edward would both be all depressed and empty.I wouldn't be able to take that, it might cause suicidal thoughts.That usally happened when I got really depressed.Which, thank god, did not happen often.Not since my time with Maria.Alice would leave with me most likely.We'd go to Alaska.That's leave Carsile and Esme to figt bởi themselves against who knows how many of those creatures that may be hiding.

I basically sighed with relief when I heard Bellas Heartbeat upstairs.It suddenly missed a few beats then got unnaturally quick.Ok so either Edward had really scared her when he woke her up, hoặc they were kissing.Probably the một giây one.I didn't want to think anymore about that.

A một phút later Edward came back downstairs, his arm was tight around Bellas waist.

"What's going on guys?You all look like you've just seen a ghost" She laughed."I thought ma cà rồng didn't get scared." We didn't laugh at that joke.

Her scent now filled the room.It didn't bother me as much as it had last September on her birthday.My guilt had all but killed any thought I now had of drinking her delicious, sweet smelling, mouthwatering .....

"Jasper!Please!" Edward growled towards where my thoughts were heading.

"Relax Edward.It was only a thought" I promised.He seemed to relax.

I turned back to the figure, which now standing across the yard with two new figures.



**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**

Esme POV




I hadn't removed my eyes from the figure.Why would this stranger kidnap my child?This was effecting my whole family.Depressing us all.The pain of seeing my dear family so sad is like feeling the pain of jumping from that cliff again and again.It was like seeing my infant baby die over and over in front of my eyes and there was not a thing for me to do to save it.

There're now three figures.In the pale light provided bởi the moon, I can see that they are wearing hooded capes.The hoods are all up.They pulled the mui xe down just enough in the front to cover their eyes from our view.

The figure in the middle started taking small steps to the back porch, which my family and I were now standing on.We all immediatly took our defensive positions, placing bella between our selves and our home.We put ourselves between Bella and the figure now making its way across the yard.

I wonder how she must feel right now.The girl is so Công chúa tóc xù and kind.She knew what we were and she still loved us.She brought my son all of the hapiness he deserved.She brought his tim, trái tim to life.I looked back and gave her a small apologetic smile.I was truy sorry for what she is going through all because she was in tình yêu with my son.

She looked worried....for us.That was so natural for Bella.

"Bella, dear, please don't worry for us.We'll be fine." She nodded slightly.

I turned back to watch the figure, who was wtill making its way across the yard.I took a deep breathe to prepare myself for what was next.


~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~



Bella POV



I stood behind my future family.Making sure not to look at the figure.That'd most likely give me a panic attack.If this was possibly one of my last minutes, because we had no idea what this figure was hoặc how powerful it was, I wanted to spend it right.


I stepped phía trước, chuyển tiếp and turned edward around.I crushed my lips to his.He started to Kiss me back after the shock of my Kiss went away.He pulled me closer to him so that our bodies were pressed against eachother.I tried to deepen this kiss, although I already knew what he would do.


I traced his smooth bottom lip with the tip of my tougne.He pulled back. "Bella" he sighed.He flashed me my yêu thích crooked smile and unwrapped my arms from his body.


I stepped back to my trước đó spot.He went back into his deensive position.I finally gathered the courage to look up at the figure.


It stopped about 10 ft in front of us. "Please let me explain.Im not hear to hurt any of you." She assured us.No one relaxed their positions. "Here I'll remove the sheid from my mind."


Oh the figure we had thought to be a boy was actually a girl.


"You see Edward I mean no harm."

"How did bạn know my name?" He asked her sounding suspicious.

She chuckled "Oh I know all of your names." She answered confidently. "Esme wife of Carsile Cullen." She pointed to Esme and Carsile as she spoke their names. "Alice wife of Jasper Hale.And Bella thiên nga girlfriend to Edward Cullen."



**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**


Edward POV



She knew all of our names?Wait how is that possible?

"It's possible because I can read minds too" She answered my thoughts "I hear it in your thoughts.Each others names and relationships."

"May I come closer?" She asked.I quickly checked her thoughts.She really did mean no harm.I nodded.



She came closer and pulled back her hood.She was a vampire.Her pale skin glittered in the moonlight.Her eyes were a deep gold.They looked like liquid gold.She had long wavy black hair down to her waist.


"The reason bạn can't hear my thoughts, can't smell my scent, an can't see that blonde vampire from your coven is because I also have the power to shield.I can put a sheild over myself and over anyone else I choose too.My sheilds block other ma cà rồng from using there powers on my sheild." she explained.


"Where's Rosalie?What are bạn doing to her?Why did bạn take her?" Emmett demanded.

The mystery girls thought were amused.

"Oh thats blondies name?Well I can't tell bạn where she is.That would ruin this whole fun little game we have.We havn't done anything to her....yet that is.Why did we take her?Well we didn't even come here for her but we knew if we came back empty handed, boss would surely punish us.So she'll have to do for now." She had a smug smile on her face now. "Oh and my name is Hayley, not mystery girl." she added.


Hayley.Such a cute name.Wait why am I thinking that?Im in tình yêu with cỏ khô, hay - Bella.What?

Hayley let out a giggle.Her eyes changed to a soft baby pink. "I also have the power to make people fall in tình yêu with me, but don't worry Im just messing with you.I'll stop now.I already have a mate." She looked back to the other figures.

The thoughts of Hayley left my head and her eyes returned back to gold.

Rosalie POV



I woke up in a very small dark room.There was no natural light, only a small light fixture hanging from the ceiling.

I got up from the ground.Great I now had a huge dirt stain on my knee length white skirt.I looked around to try to find an escape.The room was empty I noticed, not one piece of furniture.The walls, floor, and ceiling seemed to be made of a strong cement.In the corner there was a small door.

I ran over and tryed to turn the knob.Damn.It was locked.So I tried breaking down the door.It was too strong to break down so I gave up eventually.I sat back down ad started to think of how this even happened.

**Beginning of flashback**

I was looking out our bedroom window.Slightly destracted bởi my reflection.I turned my attention back over the backyard.It was so pretty and big.

I saw something in the far right corner of the yard.It looked like a person.I went outside to see who it was.I came to the spot I had seen the person.Hmmm no one was here.Wonderful I must be going crazy now."Fantastic" I murmured to myself.

I turned to go back inside.I heard footsteps behind me.Then eveything got blurry.I saw a bright red flame tiếp theo to me.Then it all went black.

**End of flashback**
