The Major's Lover

T11

Naomi sits in the back of the car with her knees up to her chest as she looks out the window "Mom, it's me again. You must have let your phone die. Anyway, I'm not in Forks anymore but I'm okay. I'll explain when you call." Bella tells Renee's answer machine before hanging up. Naomi bites her lip and leans her head against the window watching as the trees start to disappear as the drive close and closer to Phoenix. The sun soon sets and Naomi feels her eyes droop making her shake her head and sit up more "Get some sleep Nae, we've still got quite a few hours to go." Alice tells her. Nodding her head Naomi uses her jacket as a pillow and slowly closes her eyes, falling asleep almost instantly.

When Naomi opens her eyes she finds herself lying on a bed in a hotel room in the clothes Rosalie had given her. Groaning she stands up and walks out the bedroom into the living area, finding Alice, Walter and Bella all sat there. Bella looks over to her before carrying on eating "We got breakfast for you." Alice tells her, handing her a plate of blueberry pancakes. "Thanks Ally." Naomi responds taking the plate and sitting down. Alice suddenly freezes making Walter and Naomi stop what they're doing and rush to her side "What do you see?" Walter asks her. "The tracker. He just changed course..." he responds. Naomi hands Alice a pad of paper and a pencil, letting Alice to draw what she's seeing "Where will it take him, Alice?" she asks. "Mirrors. It's a room of mirrors." Alice responds as she draws. "How do the visions work? Edward said they weren't always certain." Bella asks. "She sees the course people are on, while they're on it. If they change their minds, the visions change." Naomi explains to her sister. Bella looks over Alice's shoulder to see the drawing "So the course James is on now will lead him to... a ballet studio?" she asks. "You've been here?" Alice asks. "No. I don't know. I used to take ballet lessons as a kid. The school had an arch like that." Bella explains. "Was your school here in Phoenix?" Walter asks. "Yeah, around the corner from my house. But I haven't been there in ten years." Bella responds. "Do you have any reason to go now?" Walter questions. "No. Hell, no. I hated the place." Bella tells them. Alice and Jasper share a look, trying to figure this out as Bella's phone starts ringing making her jump but sigh when she sees it's Edward. Just then Naomi's phone starts ringing aswell, looking at the phone she see's a picture of her and Jasper that her dad took of them; smiling she answers it "Naomi, are you okay?" Jasper asks immediately. Naomi chuckles "I'm fine Jaz. Ally and Walt are with me and Bella, remember?" she asks. "I know, I'm just worried. The tracker changed direction." Jasper tells her. "I know, Ally saw his path changed. What's happening now?" Naomi asks. "Edward and I are coming to get you and Bella. We're going to take you somewhere safe while the others hunt him down." Jasper explains. "Okay, when will you be here? I miss you." Naomi asks him. "I miss you too. We'll be there by tonight, we're meeting you at the airport so we can get on a plane straight away." Jasper tells her. Naomi smiles "I'll see you later then, I love you." she tells him. "I love you too." Jasper responds before they both hang up. As she does Walter walks over "Alice and I are going to sign us out so we can head to the airport. Do you want any thing?" he asks. "I'm alright Walt, I'm going to go for a quick shower." Naomi tells him. "Alright, I'll see you in a few." Walter smiles before leaving Naomi to shower.

After her shower Naomi goes out and finishes packing her stuff up before going to check on Bella, when she does she finds Bella finishing putting her clothes away "You finished?" she asks. "Yeah, that's the last of it." Bella nods. Suddenly Bella's phone rings making her look at it "It's mom." she says before answering it and putting it on speaker "Mom, I'm so glad you got my-" she starts. "Bella? Bella? Where are you?" Renee asks. "Calm down, Mom. Everything is fine, okay? I'm with Naomi, I'll explain every-" Bella continues only to be cut off by a noise on the other side, as if Renee has dropped the phone. "Mom? Are you there?" Bella asks. "Nice house you have here. Not the best on the block, but comfortable. I was prepared to wait for you and your sister. But then Mom came home after she received a very worried call from your Dad. It all worked out quite well. I must say, Forks High School doesn't protect its students' privacy very well. It was just too easy for Victoria to find your previous address." James tells her. "Bella? Bella?" Renee calls. Naomi glares and takes the phone from Bella "Leave our mother out of this." she tells the vampire. "You're protective of her. That's nice. You can still save her. But you'll need to get away from your friends. Can you do that?" James asks. "I... don't think so." Bella responds. "If your mother's life depends on it?" James questions. "Where should we meet you?" Naomi asks. "The old ballet studio around the corner. And I'll know if you bring anyone along. Poor mommy would pay the price for that mistake. She smells like you. Delicious." James tells them before hanging up.

Bella looks at Naomi "How are we going to get away from them?" she asks. "They're loading the car out the back, if we go out the front entrance we can get a taxi there." Naomi responds. Bella nods before rushing over to her bag and emptying it, grabbing the pepper spray from it "We'll save her Bella." Naomi tells her making her nod. The two of them leave and sneak out the front and climb into a taxi before Alice and Walter see them "8th and Palo Verde, please." Bella tells the taxi driver who nods and starts driving. Naomi bites her lip and quickly pulls out her phone and messages Jasper
Darlin 💖- I'm sorry we ran off but James has our mum, we have to try. He threatened us, told us if we told anyone else he would kill her. I'm sorry I had to do this to you but please don't blame yourself I wouldn't change a thing since I met you. Remember I love you and I always will xxxx
