His Witch [C. Cullen]

~Willow's POV~

The plan was made. Knowing I was being tracked by my friends, I decided to give Alice and Jasper a hand, so the three of us took Bella south.

I sat in the back so Jasper could sit up front with Alice. Using my magic, I tried to distribute my scent and aura all over the car so he could block out Bella's nasty scent.

The drive was lovely. The scenery was even more lovely. I asked Jasper to take some pics so I could send them to Carlisle. Since he had a steadier hand due to the fast driving. Bella kept trying to talk to me, but Alice told her to leave me alone or she'd get booted from the car. Without it even stopping.

I had to hold back my laugh. As the sun sets on another day across country, I faked falling asleep. Whenever I was under duress, back in my old Avenger days, I could barely sleep without immediately being alert. I guess my body and my mind was afraid of getting hurt again. No one besides my Avenger friends, and Loki, know. I don't exactly know how to tell people. Plus, they'd just try to force me to sleep, which would only make me sleep horribly.

After 3 days of travel, we finally arrive at a hotel. Once Jasper and Alice got us our rooms, I was flashed to a room as I really needed a bathroom. Stepping into the bathroom, I took a quick shower then did my business. As I was using a towel to hand dry my hair, I saw my reflection warbling. Scarlet wants to talk.

"So, you know what Bella has done? By the way you haven't slept a wink since you left Forks." Scarlett asks, my reflection moving all on its own.

"Unfortunately, yes. I was this close letting you out, but decided against it." I answered.

"Darn. I thought I'd finally get to have some fun with her." She pouts which made me chuckle at her dark thoughts.

"I know. But you never know. One day you just might." I said, which made a smirk form on her face.

"It's late. Get some rest. The Cullen's and I will watch over you." Scarlet replies.

"If I fall asleep, what stops you from coming into control and hurting someone?" I ask.

"Would you believe me if I gave you my word?" Scarlet answers with a question.

"Not really. You don't really have the best track record according to Trinity." I state.

"Okay, okay. I won't come out. Just tell the cowboy to watch over you while you sleep so you'll know if I do come out or not." She replied.

Nodding my head, I walked out to see Jasper sitting on the couch.

"Are you okay?" Jasper asks.

"Why wouldn't I be okay?" I answer, with a question, trying not to laugh.

"Sorry. I meant, well, I tried not to listen on your conversation with Scarlet, but after everything these past few days. Are you okay?" Jasper says.

"I'm not scared. That's for sure. I just...I've faced worse than a nomad who is hunting down a not-so-innocent human like a fucking wild animal. That, is something I never thought I'd say." I paused, Jasper was holding back his laughter. "But, I can't help but worry. Who knows what this tracker-bastard is capable of. Could he have a second hidden gift that we don't know about?"
