Every Time It's You 34

“So where was the last place you know for sure he was?”Isabella asked the group that consisted of Tanya, Jasper, Rosalie, Liam and Siobhan. Rose was there as well and the seven of them were in Tanya’s office in her home in Forks. Isabella hoped that if they could find Edward soon then they could kill him and stop him from being able to follow through with his plans. That way she could focus her attention on trying to figure out how to get Rose home.Isabella still wasn’t sure how to do it or if she could even succeed.

“The last time he was checked on he was in Rio de Janeiro.”Rosalie said.

“Where exactly is that?” Isabella asked.

“Here let me pull up a map on my computer and you can look it over.” Tanya loaded up her laptop and sat it at an angle that everyone could see the screen.

“Jeeze this thing is so primitive.It’s so big and has a fixed screen.” Rose knew Isabella told her that this dimension had unimpressive technology but this was worse than she thought.

“What do you mean fixed screen?”After dealing with the hover bike and the box that shrank things Rosalie had been spending time studying technology more.Knowing that Rose worked with not only things like that but advance robotics made Rosalie hope that she would teach her some new things.

“We have holographic projections of what we are seeing.Also most of our computers are used with voice activated commands. Typing isn’t someone done unless you are working on very intricate programs that you need to make sure no mistakes are made.I personally am working on developing an AI.It’s in it’s beginning stages but I have made some great progress so far.” Rose told them.

“You are creating artificial intelligence?” Tanya asked.

Rose nodded. “When I got the robots I was given the base line on how to do it. They aren’t AIs but they have some awareness and can make decisions based on their programing.It’s been the basis of my research.”

“What have you done with the robots?” Rosalie wondered if Rose would be willing to help her build one of her own.

“I have used what I learned from them to create my own robotic dog.It’s now available to the public and initial sales are high.” Rose had been right about Kate wanting the dog because as soon as she finished the prototype Kate had begged for a dozen of them so she could modify them to fight each other. Tanya had put her foot down and forbid Rose from doing that, not that Rose would.

“You made a robotic dog?”Liam didn’t know much about technology but knew that a robotic dog was something impressive.

“She did, however we have more important things to discuss.Afterwords you can ask Rose all the questions you want. She may even answer them for you.” Isabella said.

“Isabella is right we need to focus on what Edward is doing.” Tanya agreed. Stopping the boy from going after her mate was Tanya’s number one priority. She would speak with Rose later after they had a plan.

“So he was here the last time you saw him?” Isabella pointed to the city on the computer screen.”What other vampires are around that area that he would have contact with?”

“I don’t know any that would actually want to talk to him that live down that way.”Jasper said.

“It doesn’t matter if they would willingly speak to him, he may have tried to contact them. Even if he didn’t they could have heard some rumors about what he is up to.If Edward is like I think he is then there is no doubt in my mind that he is off somewhere bragging about how powerful he is and telling anyone who would listen about his plan.” At least that’s what kind of person Isabella thought he was from the interaction she had with him.

“That’s exactly the type of person he is.I would honestly not be surprised if he reached out to some of the family to get us to help him get his mate back.”Rosalie knew Edward was stupid enough to do it.

“I thought you said he witnessed the bonding between Tanya and Bella?” Siobhan was sure that was what she was told.

“Oh he did but he still has it in his head that Bella is his mate.” Tanya told her.

“It’s because of my blood. Every dimension I meet Edward when I’m human he reacts rather poorly to my blood. I’m not an expert on singers but his reaction is a lot more extreme than others I have come across. It has nothing to do with him abstaining from it either. In some dimensions I visited he didn’t want to drain their Isabellas at all he just wanted to have the blood exist. It’s all rather disturbing.” Isabella explained.

“That is disturbing. I had my experience with a singer and I still had presence of mind to make the kill clean and quick. It didn’t turn me into an animal or effect my mind in any way.” Siobhan had dealt with it with a rather calm head.She couldn’t imagine becoming so obsessed with their blood.

“I was able to let my singer live and although it was hard initially I got over it rather quickly.” Tanya hadn’t even thought of her singer until it was brought up in the Edward situation.

“How is Edward in dimensions that Edward meets a vampire Isabella and is never exposed to her blood?” Jasper wondered what kind of person Edward was in other dimensions. It may give them a way to understand his thinking.

“Well he isn’t that pleasant regardless of the circumstances. Then again that usually coincides with whether Carlisle is around or not. I find that when Carlisle and Edward are around each other that Edward is more entitled, hostile and all around spoiled.The times I have met him when Carlisle hasn’t been involved he was decent and I was able to have conversations with most of those without wanted to rip his head off.I’m not always pulled someplace to save Isabellas from Edward.It may happen a lot but not as much as other times.”Isabella told them.

“So it really is Carlisle enabling him that pushes him to the extreme.” Rosalie wasn’t surprised to hear that as Carlisle and Esme always babied Edward and usually gave into his every whim.

”As is the case with this dimension as well. I hope you all know that I have no plans to let Edward live.Even if we stop him from forming this army I will kill him before I leave.”Isabella wasn’t going to deal with getting pulled a third time to that Dimension just to stop Edward again.

“I think we can all agree that is the best option.” Tanya wanted to kill him after she found out about her bond with Bella and now wished she had.

“It’s the only thing that makes sense.” Jasper knew his mate may be upset about it but it had to be done. Edward was a liability. If they stopped him and let him live he would just try again probably bringing the Volturi’s attention on them.

“I’m glad we are all on the same page.Do you think anyone other than Carlisle and Esme are going to have a problem with that?”Isabella needed to know what problems she would have to deal with in the future.

Tanya shook her head.”No I can think of no-one who would not see the logic in why we have to kill him.”

“Does Edward have a mate?” Jasper asked.

“I have never found Edward with a mate.Then again I have only been around 7 or 8 of them and usually they are focused on their Isabellas. Even the ones that weren’t didn’t have mates.” Isabella told them.

“Damn. There goes that hope.”If they could find Edward’s mate Jasper figured that would give Edward some purpose.

“What we need to do now is plan on how to find him. Does he have any allies that he would reach out to?”Rose asked.

“Carlisle keeps us somewhat isolated. The only allies he would have that aren’t with us that would actually consider joining him would be ones he never told us about.” Rosalie said.

“So that means we are at the starting line with little information.” Isabella thought through their options for a moment.”Here’s what we will do.We need to send some people to his last known location and search not only where he was staying but the area around it.I think Maggie should be one of the people sent to do that as she can not only question people but she can convince them to be spies for us.”

“We will go with her if she has to go.”Siobhan wasn’t going to let Maggie go off on her own without protection.

“Of course I wouldn’t expect otherwise.”Isabella knew that the four members of the Irish coven would never split up. It was their way no matter what dimension she found them in.

“That means Irina would be going as well.” Tanya wasn’t sure she liked that idea.

“We will keep Irina safe.” Liam promised.

“Thank you.” Tanya wasn’t happy about it but knew that she could count on Liam and Siobhan to keep her sister safe. Not only because Irina was Maggie’s mate but it was obvious the mated couple liked Irina.

“So while they do that we need to search Edward’s room here. Anything he left behind could be a clue.” Isabella said.

“I can do that.” Rosalie volunteered.

“I’ll help her as well.”Rose always liked the part of the missions she and Isabella went on when she got go through other people’s stuff.She was a natural snoop and liked to know what everyone was up to.Plus it was fun finding out people’s dirty secrets.

Isabella smiled knowing exactly why Rose offered to help.”Thank you Rose. I would like to speak to Alice. She may be able to describe some of the vampires she saw in her vision. If I could identify a few of them it would give us some more leads.”

“That’s a good idea.” Jasper knew Alice would be happy to be able to help.She had been pushing herself hard to try and have visions and Jasper was worried his wife would injury herself somehow.

“What should I do?” Tanya asked. She wanted to be a part of the action. Especially because she felt responsible for the whole mess. It was because she didn’t turn Bella that Edward was trying to attack them.

“You’re a coven leader so you have the authority to reach out to other covens. Try to find out what gossip is going around.It might not be about Edward but it will probably be the same Edward is hearing. We could use it to maybe predict his moves based on the attitudes in the vampire community.”Isabella told her. “Also you need to not leave Bella alone. I know she is friends with the wolves but I want at least one vampire with her at all times. Are they still ok with you and Rosalie going to the reservation?”

Tanya nodded.” I’ve been a few times since you left.”

“Good. We can’t chance letting someone get her.I will also spend some time with her to work on her shield.” Isabella said.

“Thank you.” That made Tanya feel a lot better about this situation.If Bella could use her gift she would be a lot safer.

“I think that’s everything.” Isabella tried to think of what else needed to be done. “Is there someplace safe to put those boxes.”

“My garage would be the best place.” Rosalie wondered what was actually in the boxes and hoped that Isabella and Rose would tell her later.

“Good it’s imperative no one get their hands on them.” Isabella didn’t even want to think of the consequences of someone getting their hands on the items inside the boxes.

“They will be safe there. We will just have to threaten Emmett and Kate to keep them away.” Rosalie knew her husband would try and sneak into her garage to see what was inside.

“And Carlisle and Eleazar.”Tanya added. She to was interested in what was in the boxes but knew that Isabella would only talk to her or Rosalie about it.She would have to have a stern talking to with both the men because it seemed that Isabella wasn’t in the mood to put up with the duo.Tanya knew that Rose definitely wasn’t.

“Good then let’s get going. Hopefully we can stop Edward before he can do to much damage.” Isabella hoped that Edward’s ego would get the better of him and he would tell his plan to many different people. If he acted like the Edwards she encountered Isabella knew that he would have trouble getting people to follow his lead. She wondered what stories he would tell people to get them to go along with him. It would have to be pretty impressive if someone was willing to fight for him. Isabella honestly didn’t care what tale he told. She just wanted it to give them a clue on how to find him. It wasn’t often that she got to actually kill Edward and she was looking forward to the chance to take out some of her anger at him for pulling her from her home against her will.Why she would even let Rose help. It wasn’t everyday you got to kill someone who annoyed you as much as Edward did and she doubted her friend would ever get the chance again.Isabella sighed knowing Tanya was going to be so jealous when Rose got home and told her about this trip. She would have to figure out a way to make it up to her wife. Maybe if she could now bring people with her on her trips she would take Tanya to the mere people world. It would probably be romantic enough to get forgiveness.At least Isabella hoped it would.
