End of Chapter 21
***Jasper's POV***
"No, I am not ready to leave here yet. Give me আরো time Alice, I am not ready yet. Please tell everyone hi for me, and ask Esme not to worry I am fine. I'll send Jasper প্রথমপাতা after we hunt." Edward ব্যক্ত as he hit the end button cutting her off...I'm sure she was upset about that and looking for changes in our path at this very moment.
We were almost to the doors when Edward noticed her, she was climbing into a cab with her parents. She kept looking back over her shoulder, and when her mother got upset she sighed as she got in.
"They're leaving?" Edward asked, which surprised me since he usually knew everything.
"I don't know, do আপনি want me to go ask?" I asked, my nerves on edge with this many humans around.
"I'll do it, go ahead. I'll meet আপনি outside town." Edward ব্যক্ত as he turned back, heading back into the hotel.
I thought about staying but another elevator opened, the crowd filing out of it pressing against me to get out the front door. I realized that it would be best if I just left town, hoping that Edward would be quick.
Chapter 22
***Edward's POV***
I ran back into the hotel, being careful to run at human speed..not my normal speed because that would draw unwanted attention. I waited in line behind a couple who were arguing about the price of the room, stating that they were প্রদত্ত a lower price. I was about to offer to pay for their room in full when I saw the পরবর্তি hotel clerk wave me in her direction, her হৃদয় accelerating as she looked at my face.
"Hello, can I help you?" She asked.
"Yes, my friend just left with her parents and I have something to return to her. I was just wondering if আপনি could tell me if they still have their room?" I asked as I smiled at her, her mind racing.
"What is your friend's last name?" She asked as she looked down at the computer keys, avoiding all eye contact...she was shy.
"Swan."
"I'm sorry, we don't have anyone with that last name." She ব্যক্ত as she typed the name in three times to be sure she wasn't making a mistake.
I thought back to when she had introduced her self, she had ব্যক্ত she was with her mother and..step father. Great. I had no clue what their last name was and couldn't remember hearing it when I 'listened' to their thoughts.
"They were in room 523." I said, remembering the smallest of details.
"Oh." She ব্যক্ত as she searched the room number. "The Dwyers, yes they still have their room. I could get a security guard to help আপনি if আপনি would like."
"No." I ব্যক্ত interrupting her. "That's not necessary, I'll just keep an eye out for them to return. Thank you...Gwen."
She blushed as she looked back up at me, her mind racing because I had known her name. She quickly realized however, that she was wearing a name tag and felt stupid about the whole thing. I felt bad for her, because she was so shy and nervous but I couldn't do anything about it at this time...I made myself a promise that when I returned I would see if there was something I could find in her thoughts that I could do to help her.
I turned and walked out the front door, the cool wind embracing me as I walked down the sidewalk. I thought about the girl who was now the center of all of my thoughts, her brown hair that স্মেল্ট like berries, her deep চকোলেট eyes that I could stare into forever, the way she looked at me like she was interested..and the fact that she was a complete mystery because I couldn't 'read' her.
I didn't realize I was at the forest edge until I saw Jasper sitting on a rock about 200 feet into the forest. She stood up and walked quickly over to me, his mind racing as he searched the forest around us. I was about to look into his thoughts when my phone rang in my pocket.
"Edward." Alice's voice called, sounding a bit panicked.
"Alice? What's wrong?" I asked, my eyes searching the woods now along with Jasper's.
"Edward আপনি have to find her, someone's after her."
"After who?" I asked as I listened to Alice and started probing Jasper's mind at the same time.
"The girl, Bella. Someone's going to kill her and her family." Jasper thought of what Alice had told him at the same time the words came out of her mouth...the same time that I dropped my phone and ran as fast as I could towards town.
