Chapter 9

BPOV

I admit that I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings and that can lead to a fatal mistake.

I hurriedly got out of the cab and into my apartment building. I just want to lay down and have a pity party because I'm still miserable about what just happened at Jasper's. I want to go back and apologize, promise him that I'll stop hacking, but I can't. I know its not right to loose yourself in someone but goddamnit I miss him already.

I know I'm running away and its also not me. I think Jasper will ultimately understand, I know him that much. Logically, I had the intent but I really haven't done anything wrong. Yet. And I'm not going to. I'm not really bound to a contract. Nobody knows me and they will never do. The Volturi might be furious if I back out but there's nothing they can do. Money didn't even change hands yet. I have backed out of a contract before. It was a government contract and I realized the information can potentially cause war, I refused. And that is what I'm going to do now. Why did I leave again?

After I made the choice (its a no brainer,really), I'm feeling better already. I will give us space tonight to clear our heads and our emotions then have a serious talk.

I'm actually smiling by the time I reached my door so you can just imagine my surprise when I opened my door and someone reached out with a dark cloth and covered my face. Chloroform. Shit.

I woke up tied to a chair in some warehouse. I cleared the fog in my head and surveyed my surroundings. After 30 minutes, I observed 5 men. They are mostly ignoring me and its obvious they think I'm some helpless girl. Tsk. You will learn never to underestimate me. They didn't even tied me up properly. I actually feel insulted.

Once I'm sure they are not paying attention, I wiggled around the chair to loosen the rope. My hands and feet aren't bound so it's easy enough to get out. Once I'm free, I sneak up on the closest guard around me and broke his neck. I took his guns and swiped a knife. One down.

I sneaked up to another one and quickly slit his neck. I caught him going down and laid him quietly on the ground. God he's heavy. Two.

The third one is on his way over and before he realizes what's going on, I attacked and stabbed him in the gut. Twice for good measure.

The last two are tricky since they're together. I have no choice but use the glock hoping like hell they don't have more men outside. I got in position and blew their brains out. I checked their pockets for keys and found it on the third guy.

Its probably the most luck I'll have since there seems to be no one else outside. I got on the car and drove to the nearest empty lot. I ditched the car and got a cab. I went straight to Jasper's since I'm in no mood to be kidnapped again. Someone may still be casing my house and I'll deal with it tomorrow.

When I got there, the house is empty. Too tired to think things through, I stripped off my dirty clothes and got in one of his shirts. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep.

I woke up to shouting and banging and immediately checked things out. What I found is all kinds of hot. Jasper is standing in the middle of the room, holding his gun pointed to Peter's head. Things are strewn about the room and everyone is standing on the sidelines, trying to give him as much space as they can.

"Jasper?"

Everyone's head swiveled my direction and Jasper crushed me to his body, breathing heavily.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Excuse me? The immediate relief of being in his arms suddenly evaporated. His tone and actions are great contradictions. His body is telling me he will never let me go while his incredulous tone is telling me he doesn't want to see me here.

I struggled to get out of his grip but his hold is unrelenting. Giving up the fight (like I put enough effort, I enjoy having his arms around me too much), I just answered him with my head still stuck on his chest.

"I came as soon as I can."

"Why did you leave in the first place?"

"Yeah well, I figured you don't want me to stay here for now. I was just going to give us some space and I was supposed to return tomorrow but I don't want to go back to my apartment for now."

"You are not going anywhere. I'm sorry Darlin. I just needed time to think about things. I don't want you to go anywhere."

"Are you still mad at me?"

"I was never mad, Darlin. I just need time to absorb some information. You're stuck with me whether you like it or not."

"No, you're stuck with me. I don't intend to let you go ever."

"Good. Now let me see you."

He then proceeded to lead me to our bedroom.
