My Mate Saga (Twilight Fan Fiction)

Chapter Six

 "Are you crazy? This is absolutely insane!" The wrinkles on the older lady crinkled as her anger bubbled over. Jackie Young was a sixty one year old Korean American who had lived in the United States since she was ten, her parents adopting her to live a better life.

She found herself working for the VRP (Vampire Recover Program) for the past four years, watching the magnificent species come and go. Every past vampire they captured has died for multiple reasons.

Subject 1 starved himself till he was too weak to wake up the next morning.

Note: Some vampires refused to drink animal blood.

Subject 2 was too vicious that they accidentally overdosed him with the powerful drug, killing his insides and shutting down his mind.

Note: Do not give more than 500 grams of sudative176.

Subject 3 was a young female, but the anxiety of being away from her mother had taken its toll and she took her own life by severing her own head with her bare hands.

Note: Female vampires don't do well being alone.

Subject 4 and 5 were a mated couple, but the scientist didn't know about the mating bond when they decided to separate them in different enclosures. The male had gone mad and scratched his hands up till there was nothing left but trying to tear though the concrete walls. Eventually the doctors had to put him down.

Note: Do not separate mates from each other. Ever.

Jackie had always wrote down her aspect of the creatures of the night, her fascination with them had always kept her here, but after she had watched the last one tear his hands apart, she almost quit. That is until Edward came along.

He was the only one who could write and understand English. It amazed both her and the two scientists that he was well educated and a good subject for their program.

You see, ever since the discovery of vampires, the government had made it an absolute must to capture and train them to be part of the military forces. But once they found out they didn't have the vocal ability to communicate with them, they knew it would be ten times harder than they could ever imagine. They were also too animalistic and blood craze to be around them for too long. When Edward came around though, he displayed a more educated mind and seems to be more civil than any other vampire they came across.

That was until the lovely brown-haired female arrived about a month later. She could automatically feel the connection the two vampires will have once they met and her instincts were right; Edward immediately took a liking to the new girl. They we're mates.

"Which is why you must not place that other male in the same enclosure as them," Jackie argued, fed up with her coworker's suicidal action.

"It's a young male, should hardly be a threat to subject—I mean Edward," Dr. Marks corrected himself when he saw the glare Jackie had sent his way. "Besides there are no other facilities available; he will have his own sleeping area if that helps."

"Try explaining that to Edward. He just found his mate and now he must put up with another male making go-go eyes at his women," Jackie shot back, turning back to watch the couple through the observing glass.

"Maybe they know each other?" he suggested, pointing at her with his pen.

Jackie had to reframe from rolling her brown eyes. "Yeah, just like how all Asians look alike," she grumbled sarcastically.

"Exactly!" Mark ignorantly agreed, his eyes glancing down at his laptop.

Jackie mumbled under her breath, her temper getting the better of her. "You know what Austin, when Edward breaks out of here, he better go for you first!"

"What was that grandma?"

"Nothing," she spat, leaving to collect the animal blood from the fridge.

She hopes Edward will be okay with this...

About two thousand miles away, a worried mother paced back and forth, her worried daughter watched with sad eyes. Esme Cullen was a beautiful chestnut haired Vampire who didn't look a day over 30. In reality she was about two hundred and six going on seven with each passing day.

Her only daughter sat on the small bed they had in the master's den; her hand running a brush through her little daughter's hair as she tries to keep her mind off her lost brother. Alice was a tiny vampire, reaching about four foot eight with spiky black hair that reminded her of the pixies she would read about in her father's books. Her daughter Charlotte, supported the same style of hair except hers was slightly curler, a gene she gained from her glorious father, Jasper.

"Where are they? They should be back by now!" Esme cried, her emotions getting the best of her as she stared out into the night by the cave's entrance.

Alice gave her mother a reassuring glance, "I'm sure they are walking back with Edward right now as we speak." Her bell like voice was happy, but her eyes betrayed her.

Esme gave her a loving look, walking over to join them on the bed. She leaned over and gave her granddaughter a kiss on the forehead. "I hope you're right Alice."

Just then, the scent of four vampires blew into the cave and Esme was immediately up. Running to jump into her mate's arms, Esme spent no time in her frantic questions. Trying to peer around Carlisle in hopes she would see her beloved first born son. Her lip began to quiver when all she saw was Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie all with depressed expressions.

"My love," Carlisle started, holding his mate tightly as she began to sob deep into his chest. "We will not give up searching; tomorrow night we will travel more down south. Although Jasper will not come, it might be an over day trip and we do not want to leave you girls unprotected for such a long time."

"His scent was washed away by the rain we had two days ago. But we did find this," Jasper says, holding up an article of clothing. Esme perked up, reaching for the blue cloth. Bringing it to her nose, Esme inhaled deeply, her eyes dilating as she takes in the smell.

"This belonged to the shirt he was wearing the night he went out hunting," Esme declared, clutching the cloth to her chest.

Carlisle pressed soft kisses against her hair, "Don't worry my mate, our son will return to us soon."

Esme nodded solemnly, her spirits deflating as she looked around the room. Emmett was holding onto his mate, Rosalie, as he cried silently at the lost of his brother. Alice and Charlotte had taken their spot by Jasper. Alice wrapped her arms around her daughter while her mate safely tucked them in under his arms.

All of her family was here, all except one.

Edward.
