Chapter 02:

A Visit To Forks

Jasper and Alice stood in the spot where Bella Swan’s house used to stand. Now it was burned out ground with only a chimney stack reaching up from the blackened ground.

“What do you think happened, Jasper?”

“How the fuck should I know Alice? You’re the damn psychic!”

“You think if I had seen this I would have let us sit in New York so damn long? Look, knowing Bella she probably tripped holding a candle or something and burned the place down. They probably just moved to another house. Let’s go to the police station. I’m sure Charlie can tell us something.”

“And what makes you think Charlie Swan would tell us anything?” Jasper asked her raising an eyebrow in annoyance.

“Because he hated Edward but he loved me. He will tell me what we need to know. Then we can get Bella and get the hell out of here. I’m thinking Iceland to change her then we can head to an island for a little while after her newborn period? Maybe that island Carlisle bought Esme? I can see if they are planning to come long before they get there. The three of us can become more intimately acquainted. We can make Bella a part of us.”

“Bella is already a part of me. She just doesn’t know it yet.” Alice rolled her eyes but didn’t say a word.

The two traveled through downtown Forks en route to the police station. They tended to attract attention in Alice’s yellow Porsche but Jasper didn’t mind. They wouldn’t be here long enough to worry about attention. And when they had his Isabella they would be gone.

Walking into the Police Station they were met with curious glances. Apparently they had not been gone long enough for people to forget who they were.

A middle aged, heavy set, balding man walked up to the counter.

“Can I help you folks?”

It had been decided by the two that Alice would take the lead and Jasper would monitor the police officer’s emotional state and send waves of trust and honesty towards him. Based off the man’s emotional state right now, Jasper would have his work cut out for him.

“I’m looking for Chief Swan. Could you tell him Alice Cullen is here to see him?” Alice smiled brightly.

Jasper noticed something was wrong immediately. The man’s emotions went dark. Very dark.

“Ma’am, Chief Swan is dead.”

Jasper and Alice forgot to breathe. They stood still as statues not moving an inch. The officer had begun to notice.

“Uhm, I’m Chief Bill Perry. Is there something I can help you two with?”

This seemed to snap Alice out of her trance. Jasper continued not moving, unerring the man.

“Yes, we were looking for Chief Swan’s daughter Bella. I’m an old friend. We saw the house was no longer…”

“It burned down. Chief Swan’s body was found in the debris. The fire rendered him unrecognizable but it was obvious that he was murdered. Things were done to him that no fire could have done. You won’t find Bella Swan around here. She is wanted in connection with his killing. At least as a person of interest. Turns out her mother was killed in a similar fashion two nights before in Florida. She couldn’t have been there. But no one has seen her since the fire destroyed her house and left her Daddy dead. Her truck was gone. We don’t know if she was kidnapped or ran away with the killer. But if you happen to run into her we would sure like to ask her about some things.”

The Chief was not a happy man. He was staring at them with curiosity and Jasper was doing everything he could to get control of the man.

“I see. If we should happen to run into her we will certainly alert the authorities.” Jasper said stiffly. This man was a lost cause. Too much anger in him. He had been close to Charlie Swan. He believed Bella had something to do with Charlie Swan’s death. And nothing was going to change his mind. Jasper and Alice walked out of the station and got into Alice’s car without a word. Once they were moving, Alice broke the silence.

“What now? How do we find her Jazz? What do you think happened?”

“I don’t know Alice. But someone around here must know something. Drive to the Library. We can begin our search by looking into newspapers. He had to have been killed in the last few months. The wreckage of the house was still fresh.”

They walked into the quiet old building. It smelled of dust and paper, the way every library does in small towns. Considerably underused by the local populace.

Alice began looking through the catalogued newspapers. Jasper wandered around, browsing titles. He seemed calm on the outside but inside he was raging. What could have happened to his Mate? Why didn’t he just kill Edward? Bella would have understood eventually. It wouldn’t have mattered to her once she was turned.

He knew this was his fault. The most disturbing aspect of this was that Alice couldn’t see her. And the only people Alice can’t see are dead people. But he thought he would know. He could still feel the pull in his soul drawing him. He just didn’t know the direction it was pulling him.

Jasper gazed at Alice. His confidant, his best friend, his lover. She wanted Bella almost as much as he did. And this must be tearing her apart too.

“Jasper I found it. There is a series of articles. They start off with the fire and continue to the speculation that Charlie was murdered.” Alice stopped and sniffed.

“What the hell is that smell?”

The three men walked into the library and stared at Jasper and Alice. They were large. And they smelled like wet dog.

“Cullens” the one in the middle spoke.

“Yes.” Jasper replied. “And who would you be, since you have us at a disadvantage?”

“My name is Sam Uley. You don’t need to know their names.”

“Pleasure to meet you Sam.”

“I wish I could say likewise. She isn’t here. So what are you doing here?”

“Who isn’t here Sam?”

“Don’t play games with me Cullen.”

“Where is she?” Alice asked quietly. “Did you hurt her?”

The one on Sam’s right laughed. “Did we hurt her? You hurt her. Probably got her killed.”

“What do you mean? You want me to speak plainly then you need to start as well, Mr. Uley.”

“Bella Swan is not here. There is no reason for you to be here.”

“And where is Bella?” Alice asked, quickly becoming impatient.

“We don’t know. She led the red headed leech away from Forks and La Push the night Charlie was murdered. She hasn’t been heard from or seen since. Even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you.” He quietly responded.

Jasper could sense his emotions. He was being truthful. He had no idea where Bella was.

“What red headed…” Jasper began to ask.

“Victoria.” Alice said under her breath. But it was heard by all.

“Yes. That is the name Bella said she went by. She hunted Bella for months. We protected her.”

“How did you protect her?” Jasper asked incredulously.

“Have you heard Carlisle Cullen speak of the Wolf Pack of La Push?”

“Yes…”

“We are the Wolf Pack now. We protected her. Until her mother was murdered. The leech couldn’t get to Bella, so it went after her mother. And then two nights later it went after her father. Bella came home with… a friend and found his body. The friend…”

“It was me. Jacob Black.” The man to Sam’s right spoke up. “I brought her home and she walked in to see her father gutted on the couch. His heart pulled from his body. Skin pulled off of his face down to the skull. We burnt the house down but the authorities discovered it was murder anyway. Bella left that night without a word. She left us a note saying she was leaving so she wouldn’t endanger anyone else. We… we haven’t seen her since that night.” Jacob looked on the verge of anger and sadness. He loved her as well. Bella tends to bring out strong emotions in people.

Jasper stood there seething. And he was projecting. His anger was riling the three men. He felt Alice’s hand on his shoulder.

“Jasper you need to stop.”

Jasper recognized the wisdom in her words and began emitting calm over the room.

“There hasn’t been any sign of her?”

“No.” Uley answered stiffly.

“Is there anyone around here who may have an idea of where she might have gone?”

“Why would we tell you?” Jake asked.

“I suppose you wouldn’t. We will find out on our own.”

“Angela might know.”

“Jarrod!” Sam yelled, causing the librarian to look up for the first time since Jasper and Alice walked in.

“What’s it going to hurt Sam? You know as well as I do she is dead. The leech hasn’t been back. She got what she wanted. Let them ask their questions. It’s not going to do them any good.”

“I assume you are talking about Angela Weber? I know her and Bella were good friends.”

“Yes, you could say that.”

“You’re holding something back.”

“If I am it’s none of your business.” Sam said lowly.

“You want us gone. We aren’t leaving until we have a direction to look for Bella. You want us gone, tell us what you know. If not we are sticking around here until your kids grow old.” Jasper said with an even voice, his face never changing expression. It was Jake that spoke.

“Angela and Bella may have been a little more than friends. There were rumors.” Jacob said reluctantly.

Inwardly Alice smiled. She knew Bella liked women as well. She was also a little jealous that Angela got to her first. And she knew in her heart that Bella was alive and waiting somewhere for her and Jasper.

“Rumors that they were romantically linked?”

“Sometimes when Bella would come over after being with Angela, we could smell Angela on her.”

“That’s natural.” Jasper pointed out.

“All over her. Everywhere.”

“I see. And you think if Bella contacted anyone after she left…”

“It would have been Angela or me. And she didn’t contact me.” Jake said in a manner that showed Jasper he was a little jealous that she had not.

“I see. We will go and speak to Angela then.”

“And then you will leave.” Sam said coldly.

“Yes, we will leave. I can’t speak for Carlisle never coming back as we are no longer associated with the Cullens.”

Sam looked up quickly at those words.

“If you are no longer associated with the Cullens that means you are not covered by the treaty…” Sam said quietly.

“And that means you are fair game.” Jake joined in.

Jasper had enough of these boys. He was here on a mission, not to play around with young pups.

Jasper let fear overrun the room. Alice stayed behind him. The wolves were feeling every ounce of terror Jasper was sending their way. Even the Librarian in the front was hiding behind the counter.

“Nobody phase. We can’t. We can’t here.” Sam stuttered out. Jake and Jarrod were shaking but it wasn’t from anger. They were afraid.

“Listen closely Mr. Uley. I did not come to fuck around with your boys, or to spar. I am here for one thing and one thing only. That is Isabella Swan. And I will find her. But from what you have told me, time is of the essence. Therefore, I hope you understand that am not inclined to waste any. Ask yourself one very important question. Your life depends on it. Do you want to fuck with me?”

Sam was shaking. He had never felt this before. The power emitting from this vampire. His emotions were all over the place. He couldn’t think straight.

“No. No, I don’t.” Instantly the fear was gone. But the respect was still there.

“Good. Have a nice day. I had best not see you again. Next time I won’t be so patient. When I want answers I expect them quickly and truthfully. And I will know if you are lying.”

The trip to the Weber house was short. Alice pulled in front and knocked on the door. Angela opened the door thankfully. Alice really did not want to waste time on parents.

“Angela how nice to see you!” Alice smiled brightly.

Angela swung at her. Alice ducked out of the way to avoid Angela’s hand being broken.

“Dammit! I have been waiting damn near a year to do that and I missed. How the hell… It doesn’t matter I guess. What do you want Alice?”

Jasper walked up.

“I understand you and Bella were lovers…”

“Jesus Christ would you shut the fuck up!” Angela walked out onto the front steps closing the door behind her.

“I’ve already been questioned over and over again by the police about my involvement with Bella. My parents think we were just friends. I need it to stay that way. Where the hell did you hear that anyway?”

“It was just a rumor we heard. Is it true?” Alice asked.

“Fuckin La Push assholes. Jake never could stand the fact that she loved me. Drove him crazy. What the hell are you two doing here? You know you nearly destroyed her when you left, Alice? She would barely eat or talk to anyone for months.”

Alice looked solemn. “No, I had no idea. Was it bad?”

“You abandoned her without a word. Edward she could get over. You… you broke her heart, you fucking bitch.”

Alice looked devastated. She had no idea. She knew Bella would be upset. But she had no idea it would be this bad. She looked at Jasper who had the same strained face.

“Angela. I… I…”

“Angela what happened to Bella? Do you know where she is?” Jasper asked.

“You think I would tell you if I knew?”

“Yes, I do.” Jasper answered. “Because you know that we could help her.”

“Help her what?”

Jasper grabbed a hold of Angela’s emotions. He hated to manipulate her but he had to find Bella. He had to make Angela trust them.

“Angela, have you heard from Bella?” Jasper repeated slowly.

“I’m, I’m not saying a damn thing to you. Either of you.”

“She is in trouble. We can help her.”

“No kidding she was in trouble. Where the hell were you months ago? Her father murdered, her mother murdered, she disappears, and…”

“She disappeared? Not that she died. She disappeared. You know she is alive, don’t you Angela?” Alice asked her. Jasper pumped as much trust as he could into her.

“You will help her? You will bring her back?”

“Yes.” Alice told her.

Jasper had no intention of bringing her here ever again. But he had to find out where Bella was.

Angela looked around as if to see if anyone could hear her and walked to the end of the drive.

“About two weeks after she took off, she called me. She told me that she had to leave because the person who killed her father was after her. She said the girl was dead now and she was safe. She told me she couldn’t come back. She said she loved me and it was best if people thought she was dead. I told her I loved her too. And she ended the call…”

Angela was in tears by this point. This wasn’t an experimental teenage thing Bella had going on with Angela. This was really love. Jasper could feel it. And it bothered him greatly.

“Do you know where she called from Angela?” Alice asked her quietly.

“Yes. She didn’t tell me but I had her number on caller ID. I used the internet to track it to a payphone in Sonora, Texas. It is a very small town in the middle of nowhere. I wanted to go looking for her but she told me not too and I didn’t… I didn’t have the money to go. But after I graduate next month I am going. My parents think I am going on a graduation road trip. But I am going to find her.”

“I don’t think that is a good idea Angela.” Jasper said quietly.

“Yeah well, you can go fuck yourself, Jasper Hale. I love her and I will find her.”

Jasper could see this would be a problem. He didn’t know what was going on but he doubted Bella was any place safe if she was hiding. And he had no idea if Victoria was still alive despite what she may have told Angela.

“Angela, Alice and I will go there now. We will find out what happened. We will find Bella. And we will…”

“What Jasper. You will bring her back? So she can be arrested for something she had no part in? I’ll be damned. I will go to her.”

“What if we find her and bring you to her?” Alice suggested. Jasper liked the idea. It would give them time to get Bella and find out exactly what was going on before having to worry about Angela getting in his way.

“You would do that?”

Jasper nodded at Angela. “Give us time. We will call you. Just don’t do anything stupid. Please? For Bella?”

Angela appeared deep in thought for a few minutes. She finally nodded.

“If you find her and keep her from me I will find you both and kill you.”

Jasper nodded. The actual act may be impossible but from her emotions he could tell the intent was there.

Without another word Angela walked inside and closed the door. She walked upstairs and went in her room, shutting the door behind her. She reached for Bella’s sweater, the one she hid under her bed and lay her head on it. And she cried.

Outside Jasper looked at Alice, a look that conveyed understanding without words.

“Sonora Texas.”

“It’s as good a place to start as any.”

“We are going to need a place out of the way to stay. It’s sunny there. Better call Peter. Let him know we are going to need a place.”

Jasper nodded. For the first time since he entered Forks he felt hope in his heart.

Outside of Sonora Texas.

The girl who used to be Bella Swan was busy at the moment. It was four o clock in the afternoon. It was time for her session with Abe.

She walked into the dark room lit only by candles and saw Cindi, tied to the beam, nude. Abe was whipping her, over and over again. She was covered in sweat and moaning. She was beautiful. Long flowing raven black hair. Legs and back covered in exotic oriental tattoos. Slim, pale skin. Small breasts. Bella watched as the whip cut her back open and then her body closed the wound. As if it were never there. She shook in her bonds and her head went to her chest. She was done. Abe walked up and untied her hands. She dropped in his arms. He lowered her to the ground and hugged her. She roused herself and looked up at him smiling.

“Thank you.”

“Of course Cindi. Did it help?”

“Yes…”

“Go to the bedroom with the others.”

Cindi walked by “Lilly” and stopped to kiss her.

“I will be waiting for you in the bedroom.”

Lilly smiled. She loved to have sex with all the others. But Cindi was her favorite. Abe said they shouldn’t have favorites. But she couldn’t help herself.

“Are you ready Lilly?”

Lilly nodded and walked to the beam. She was already nude. Abe lifted her hands into the straps and tied her hands securely over her head.

“I want you to relax Lilly. The demon will come out. He will try to take over. You have to find him, get to know him, make friends with him. The more intense the pain the more he will try to take over. This is where you find the will to control him. Because what happens if you don’t?”

“He controls me.” Lilly whispered.

“And we can’t have that, can we? We can’t go on missions if the demon is let loose. Are you ready?”

“Yes.”

Abe loved and hated doing this. Seeing his brothers and sisters in pain always hurt him. But watching them slowly come to accept and merge with the demon was a wonderful thing to see. And to feed the demon only two things would work. Sex and pain. He had to make sure his brothers and sisters had enough of both. And pain among themselves was preferable to pain over others. It was a fine line they walked between good and evil. A terrible responsibility. He took a moment to stare at Lilly. He knew he would have her after this and felt himself grow hard at the thought. He may have to fight Cindi for her attention but that would make it more intense.

Lilly had taken to this life so well. She had so much hate and anger in her when the demon entered her. And so much love. It made her stronger but also made it difficult to control the demon.

She was breathing heavy already. This concerned him. It was okay to get pleasure from pain. But Lilly seemed to revel in it. Not just her demon. But her.

She was beautiful. Pale and slender. Gorgeous brown hair. Deep eyes that had seen horror. But she had survived. And he loved her. They all loved her. She belonged with them. She made them complete.

“Please Abe. Don’t make me wait. I hate waiting.” She was nearly breathless already.

Abe leaned back and made the first stroke. And Lilly screamed. It wasn’t clear if it was pain or pleasure. He continued whipping her. Her body healed so fast. Hardly any blood like the rest of them. He walked around and saw her face. Her demon was at the surface. Staring at him and smiling. Her face was contorted. Unrecognizable. The mile was pure evil.

“If you don’t let her control you, neither of you will be able to have any fun.” He said smiling at it.

The demon stared back at Abe and smiled.

“Confutuere et volo occidere.”

“And you shall. But first you have to let Lilith have control.”

“Placet hoc corpus.”

The demon laughed and Lilly’s face returned. She was breathing deeply.

“Are you okay Lilly?”

“Yes. I want more.”

“No my Lilly. It is time. Your brothers and sisters miss you in the bedroom.”

“Okay.”

Abe released her and carried her in the room. There on the large layout of mattresses where they all slept were his brothers and sisters. His children. They all stopped what they were doing when they saw Lilly. Michael and Cindi began crawling towards him reaching out for Lilly.

“Give her a moment children.”

“No. I am good.” He heard Lilly say. Lilly always brought out everyone’s demon closer to the surface. She had that effect on everyone. Even him. The others were more frenzied now. Abe was feeling it himself. It would take all his control to tame Lilly. To tame the dark beast inside her. Too feed her and make her effective. Effective enough to do his lord and master’s work. To collect the souls who cheated his lord by staying on Earth past their evil natural lives. But once she was tamed, once she was in control, she would be unstoppable. And that meant they were. And it would be time to venture out of Texas.

Abe knew Bella had made the phone call to her old friend. Eva told him. But he didn’t say anything. She needed to say goodbye to her old life. She had told him of her past. The vampires. The wolves. The abandonment. And Eva said she basically told the girl that it was best if everyone thought she was dead and to not come looking for her.

Lilly may have actually headed off trouble. She hadn’t attempted to call anyone since. She worked on herself during the days. She worked with her powers, she had sex for hours a day, and she was at the bar at night, doing exactly what they all needed to do. Dancing and feeding off the lust of the patrons. He had four hours before they all had to go. He closed his eyes and got lost in the feeling of Lilly.

Abe knew that with time, they would be unstoppable. And he had time. They had all the time in the world.

A/N

For those wondering about the Latin translations the first phrase Confutuere et volo occidere has to do with sexual appetites and violence. Let’s just say the demon in our Bella isn’t very nice.

The second phrase “Placet hoc corpus.” Basically says he likes her body. So while he isn’t nice, he thinks she is. Hope you are enjoying the story. About dominant vampires… and horrible murders… and demonic possession. Yeah anyway maybe enjoy isn’t the right word?
