Hello, this is Sunni.

I know you
know me from most of my
stories. This one is BellaxJasper.

Anyways…the reason I’m

making this extra paragraph is
because, I have the girl Lea from
the bad girls club in this. I know
some of you have seen it. I love
Lea and I wanted to put her in
this because she was perfect.

There will be some lemons.

Don’t mean to offend you Lea.
You are my favorite bad girl.

Jasper

It’s been three years since I’ve last been

in Forks. As long as the 180 years I have
lived, I didn’t think I would go back, but
I did.

Leaving Bella to rot in Forks was brutal.

We left because of my foolish actions. I
will never forgive myself.

After about two years, Alice left me. I

had figured out she was cheating on me
with Edward, yet he said that this wasn’t
the reason he left Bella.

I decided to leave the Cullen coven and

headed to some old family members.
Peter and Charlotte.

I still refused to drink from another

human. Why should I? Just because
Alice is gone doesn’t mean I give up on
my beliefs.
We decided to move to Texas. After
shopping for days we finally found a
mansion up the road. It was about five
miles from the city, where the woods
started.

“This is some bull. Why did we have to

fucking move again?” Peter growled as
he fixed up the double bed in his room.

“Because, people were starting to

suspect. Besides, Texas is one of greatest
hunting places. The best at night.”
Charlotte grinned as she placed boxes
down.

I rolled my eyes.

“And we’re right in the forest, so Jasper

is fine.” Charlotte continued.
“You’re going to eat squirrels, Jasper?”
Peter snickered.

“I’d rather eat your wife.” I smacked

Char’s ass playfully.

Peter growled as Charlotte giggled.

“You’re going to pay for that, Whitlock.”

He growled.

I rolled my eyes.

“Ooh, scary.” I grinned.

He tackled me to the ground and we

started wrestling. Char ignored us, trying
not to get hit.
I finally got tired of the punching and
missing, so I kicked him off of me. He
went through the wall.

“GOD DAMN IT!” Charlotte screamed.

Suddenly, she grabbed me by the ear.

“What the fuck?” I cried as she took it

off.

She went over to Peter and did the same.

“Ow!” Peter wailed.

She brought both the ears to her mouth

and screamed.

“Listen, dickheads. I need things done

and with you two fuckers I can’t do a
thing! So go and grow a pair while I fix
the DAMN WAAAAAALLL!!!!!” she
screamed as she threw the ears back at
us.

“Fine, fine.” I sighed.

I stuck my ear back on and ignored the

dry ache.

Peter and I headed outside with

unneeded jackets around our bodies.

“This is all your fault.” Peter grumbled

as he put in his black contacts to cover
his ruby eyes.

“Fuck you.” I spat at him as we started to

the markets.

Bella
I hopped out of the bed. I walked to the
windows and immediately smiled at the
day.

The sun was just coming up and the

lights from last night had not gone all out
in the city.

Beautiful.

I stepped over some of my old pictures I

took when I was in Vegas with Jake and
Brenda a month ago.
Princess Izzy waiting for food.

Izzy having her 2nd tattoo done

Getting kicked out of the coffee

shop. Still smiling. 
Not the stripper type…but really
hot.
Really drunk…and tan.
I really hope that turns into a
prince.

She’s bringing sexy back!

Oh yeah!
Trying to go to the beach, but
Izzy just had to have a cigarette!
Don’t laugh at me!

I ran my hands through my hair and

patted to the restroom. It was very fancy
since I was living in the hotel.

I stayed here on a regular bases, I really

had no one time home. I would either
stay here or with Jake.

The hotel was on the very top floor,

letting me see all I needed of the city.
Jake said it would be best to keep going
back and forth since a certain vampire
was after me.

It’s just real fucked up how they had to

kill Charlie, Renee, and Phil to get to me.

I groaned as the familiar pain shot

through me.

Edward no longer affected me either.

The motto was ‘don’t hold onto the
past’.

And I didn’t.

I sighed; I didn’t feel like thinking about

Edward.
After I washed my face, I looked up at
my reflection. So much had changed
with my appearance.

My face had aged, but not in a bad way.

The girly roundness faded and turned
sexier.

I died my hair black and put blonde

streaks on the edges.

My curves developed and I decided to

get tattoos.

I had a crown on my right wrist.

I had flowers on my arm in ink and a

scull on my thigh. It melted into a flow
of river and spelled my nickname Izzy. It
had hibiscus on it too.
I had a tattoo on my ribs. It was a Robert
Frost poem.

Some say the world will end in

fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Then I had a tattoo on my foot. It was a

line from Romeo and Juliet on the
bottom of my foot.

These violent delights

Have violent ends
And in their triumph die,
Like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume.

I took a quick shower and toweled off. I

threw on some fitting jeans with a white
camisole. I put a black jacket over it and
flats so I could head out.

After throwing a quick brush through my

straight hair, I hurried downstairs.

I would usually go to the bookstore and

check out any book. I already learned
French, Spanish, Portuguese, and
Japanese.

Then I would go to the police station.

Even if Charlie was dead, doesn’t mean I

can’t carry on what he did. He left a case
open before he was killed.
Riley Simmons.

He had been missing for two years.

Everyone at the office, even Jake, told
me to give up, but I knew he was out
there, somewhere.

One of the reasons I wanted to find him

so badly, was because I used to fuck him.
After Edward left, he was my constant
release of stress and pain.

I’ve got to find him.

After I got to the hotel, I was beat. I

groaned as I hit the comfy bed. I
snuggled up to the covers until I heard
banging at my door.
I sighed and dragged myself to the door.
I opened it and I was immediately
encased in hot arms.

“Where the fuck have you been?!” Jacob

roared.

“Jake, calm down! What’s wrong?” I

asked.

“Them!” he spat, letting me go, and

stomping to the giant window in the
room.

He glared over the city with dark eyes.

“Jake, what’s going on?” I asked as I

approached him.
“Their back!” he pulled at his short black
hair.

“Who’s back, Jake?” I frowned.

He grabbed me by the tops of my arms.

“Their back, Izz!” he yelled to me.

“Who?! Who’s back?” I screamed back.

His face got close to mine, but I knew

Jacob would never kiss me again. We
went out for awhile, but he imprinted on
a girl named Brenda. She’s very nice and
pretty.

He glared at me with his dark eyes. He

uttered one word before I secluded to
darkness.
“Vampires.” He whispered, his hot
breath hitting my face.

“Of course.” I whispered back, falling

into the dark.

I woke up to a sharp slap in the face.

“OW!” I cried as I fell to the floor.

I peeked my eyes open to see Brenda.

She smiled down at me.

“There! Told you that would wake her

up.” She said smugly to Jake.

I rubbed my cheek.
Jake rolled his eyes as he walked over to
me.

“You okay?” he asked.

“I’m fine.” I grumbled.

“Good, because you just fainted when I

told you.” He frowned.

“Well, if you didn’t go on psycho on me,

I wouldn’t have fainted.” I growled,
remembering last night.

“Sorry about that. I haven’t smelled a

vampire in so long…” he sighed.

“So…what do I do?” I asked.

“You stay with me for the day as Seth

and Leah patrol the woods.”
I frowned.

“Let’s go get coffee!” Brenda squealed

and ran out of the room.

I sighed and got dressed in shorts and a

gray hoodie. I let my hair fall down.

As Jake and Brenda ordered coffee at a

stand, I started wondering who was here
to get me.

The Cullen’s? Edward? Victoria?

Who knows? Probably a vampire I
probably don’t even know.

I shrugged to myself and started to

wander away from Brenda and Jake.
I found myself strolling down the
sidewalks, alone. It wasn’t until a car
door slammed that I looked up.

My heart stopped then fell into a quick

sprint. My palms started to sweat and
shake. My stomach churned.

“Jasper…?” I choked out.

His blonde curly head snapped up to the

sound of his name and his golden eyes
turned wide.

He stood up straight, letting his tall body

out of the black car he was digging
through.

I wanted so badly to touch him. To make

sure he was real. To feel his ice cold
sensational skin.
But he wasn’t Edward.

“Bella…?” he mouthed.

And that’s when I ran.

Jasper

“Why are we out here again?” Peter

asked as we headed to the furniture store.

“We have to pick up tables for Char.” I

sighed.

“That’s right.” He groaned as he ran his

hand through his dark hair. “Let’s get
this over with.”
We walked into the small store.
Immediately, lust spiked and Peter and I
groaned.

“We came to pick up tables for Charlotte

Whitlock.” Peter said to an employee,
letting his Texas accent flow into the
words.

The woman was flustered by his smooth

voice and started to spark with lust. I
groaned again and buried my face in my
hands.

The woman’s curiosity spiked.

“He’s got a headache.” Peter answered

for me.

“You have no idea.” I mumbled, causing

Peter to laugh.
“Well, I’ll need the receipt from online.”
The worker said.

“I’ll get it!” I exclaimed happily as I

zoomed to the car.

I opened the door and started digging for

the receipt when I felt a familiar
presence.

I sniffed the air and immediately froze at

the freesia smell.

“Jasper…?” the familiar voice

whispered.

I snapped my head to see a woman.

Her hair reached her shoulders and was

died blonde on the edges. Her skin was
creamy and surprisingly she had tattoos
dotting her body. One was long on her
left leg and some on her right arm.

And the great thing about it, unlike most

girls, she could pull it off while still
looking hot.

Her face was cute and pretty damn sexy.

No way. It couldn’t be…

“Bella…?” I frowned as I stood up.

As soon as I said that…

She was gone.

Before I could catch myself, I darted

after her, trying to keep human speed,
pushing humans out of the way as I
followed.

“Bella!” I called after her as she rounded

a corner.

“Leave me alone!” she called back.

“Bella! I promise I won’t hurt you!” it

sounded like I was begging.

And I was.

I wanted desperately to say I was sorry. I

needed to apologize.

She ignored me as she kept sprinting and

was engulfed into the crowd of people.

I couldn’t find her then. I groaned and

ran hands through my hair. I had lost her.
I sighed and headed back to the car.
Peter was already loading the small table
into the back.

“Where did you go man?” he asked.

“A girl…” I trailed off.

“Was she hot?” he asked with mild

interest.

“Beyond.” I agreed.

“Good, you could use one.” He answered

and got into the car.

Bella

I was completely out of breath when I

reached Jacob.
He smiled kindly down at me until he got
a whiff.

“What the fuck? He found you?” he

yelled as he ran outside, looking through
the streets.

“I lost him.” I breathed, trying to catch

my breath.

“Oh, honey, you must be dead beat.”

Brenda tsked.

I rolled my eyes at her.

“She just outran a vampire. Ya think?”

Jacob sighed sarcastically and shook his
head.

Brenda rolled her eyes.

“Who was it, Bella?” she asked.

“Jasper.”

Brenda and Jake left me alone for the

next few days and I refused to leave the
hotel.

I sat straight up in my bed when I heard

knocking on my door. It was morning.
The light was shining in.

I hurried to the door and immediately a

coffee was shoved into my face. I
frowned at it then looked up to stare into
golden eyes.

“Treaty gift.” Jasper said.

My frown deepened.

“I don’t drink coffee.” I sighed.

He frowned with me then started to walk

in. I stopped him.

“I didn’t say you could come in, Jasper.”

I replied.

He frowned then went all puppy dog

eyes on me.

“May I please come in, Bella? I just want

to talk.” He pleaded.

I groaned. I couldn’t resist the puppy

eyes.
“Fine, c’mon in Jasper.” I sighed as he
skipped inside.

“Nice room.” Another guy walked in

after him.

He had brown hair and ruby red eyes.

He grinned at me as he tipped his

imaginary hat.

“Hold the fuck on. Who are you?” I

exclaimed.

“I’m Jasper’s friend. Peter Whitlock.”

He said, smugness radiating off of him.

“Bella Swan, but call me Izzy for now.” I

greeted.
“Izzy?” Jasper turned to me with raised
eyebrows.

“Yeah.” I frowned slightly.

“I like Puddin’ better.” Peter grinned.

“Puddin’?” I asked.

“Duh.” he joked, moving his hands and

knocking over a vase next to my bed.

It fell to the floor, cracking.

I groaned.

“Peter can you do anything right?”

Jasper asked with amusement clear in his
smooth voice.
“Um…the moonwalk! Yeah, I got that
shit on lock.”

I turned my head to see Peter gliding

back and forth with a shit-eating grin. He
grabbed his crotch and started to thrust
his hips forward.

I sighed at his personality, causing him

to look up at me and smile.

He danced over to me and wiggled his

eyebrows.

“You have a nice ass, Puddin’.” He

smirked as he smacked my bottom.

I yelped out and jumped a little. I finally

composed myself enough to glare at him
and he smiled, unashamed.
Jasper growled lightly then sighed as he
turned his eyes to me.

“Can we talk?” he turned to Peter with

narrowed eyes, “Alone.”

Peter frowned slightly then sighed.

“Always ruining the fun.” He grumbled

and walked back outside.

I turned back to Jasper as he appraised

my form.

“You’ve changed. A lot.” He commented

after a second of silence.

“Uh, yeah…I changed when you guys

left.” I smiled, remembering the
arresting, fights, and cursing I had grown
into.
We were silent for a few more minutes.

“Why did you run from me?” Jasper

asked.

“None of your fucking business.” I

didn’t mean to sound harsh, but he was
pushing me.

“I get it. You’re a coward.” Jasper

smiled.

“What?! I am not a coward! Shouldn’t I

be scared of the guy who attacked me at
my birthday!” I yelled at him.

“But you know I won’t hurt you.” He

whispered as he stepped closer to me.
“And how do I know that?” I crossed my
arms over my chest, defiantly.

“Because I haven’t attacked you yet.” He

grinned smugly.

“Oh, you’ll give in. And when you do,

Jasper, I’ll be ready this time.” I
promised.

He grimaced at that, keeping his eyes

locked on mine.

“Where’s Alice?” I whispered.

His golden eyes narrowed as I felt fear

drip from him, then anger.

I frowned.
“Where is she, Jasper? She’s your mate.
She’s supposed to be everywhere you
are.”

“We broke up.” He answered simply.

“Broke up? You guys had been together

for more than a hundred years. What
happened?”

“She cheated on me.” He murmured.

I choked on my spit.

“She what?! Alice! The short pixie

girl?!” I cried.

“Yes!” Jasper sighed heavily.

“With who? Do I know him?” I asked.

Jasper became aggravated.

“Oh, you know him.” He growled.

“Who?”

“E…” he stopped.

“WHO?!” I exclaimed.

“Edward!!” he answered.

It was silent for a few minutes.

It finally sunk in. Edward cheated on me.

Well, he didn’t actually cheat on me.
Alice cheated on Jasper.

I looked into his golden eyes. They

showed heartbreak and sadness.
I reached for his pale hand and took it in
my warm one. He hesitated as I put it on
my cheek and rubbed it.

“I’m sorry, Jasper.” I whispered to him.

I dropped my hand, but his cool one

stayed firmly on my cheek, rubbing it
with his thumb.

I stepped closer and wrapped my arms

around in waist in comfort.

He wrapped his around me and buried

his face in my hair.

I felt his desire to kill me shoot up, but I

squeezed tighter to him.

He relaxed until Peter came in.

“Hey, Major-Oh shit! Sorry!” he stopped
and looked at us with wide eyes.

Jasper sighed and let me go as he turned

to Peter.

Suddenly, a blonde woman stepped into

the room.

She was beautiful with her high cheek

bones, flawless skin, curvy body, and
shiny hair.

“Peter, I am so fucking tired of waiting

in the damn car…” she trailed off when
she saw me.

“Oh! This is the Isabella girl!” she

squealed.

She reminded me so much of Brenda.

I nodded as she ran towards me and
picked me up, hugging me.

“Jasper has told us so much about you.

Though you do look much more different
from what he described.” She looked at
me intently.

Peter snatched me away from her and

held me to his chest.

“Puddin’ is still the awesome chick she

was three years ago. Besides, look at her
ass.” He smirked and turned my ass to
Char’s gaze.

She hummed for awhile then nodded.

“Your right, Peter. It is a nice ass.” She

responded.
I turned bright red as Peter smacked it
again.

Jasper snatched me away this time and

growled at Peter.

Peter just grinned.

I sighed and checked my phone.

“You guys should head out. Jake will be

here…” I immediately closed my mouth
when the door busted open.

There stood a heavy breathing, irate

Jacob.

He roared as he saw all the vampires and

they all went into instinctive crouches,
Jasper protecting me.
Jasper

The racid smell of dog filled the room

and I crouched in front of Bella
protectively.

Jacob was darting his eyes back and

forth between us all, trying to figure out
who to kill first.

His emotions were changing too fast. I

couldn’t tell which was which anymore.

“Jake…calm down.” Bella whispered to

him.

He growled.

Bella suddenly pushed me away and

stomped over to Jake.
We tried to grab her, but she pushed us
away.

“Jake!” she yelled and slapped him

across the face.

“Ouch!” he cried, rubbing his cheek.

“Snap the fuck out of it!” she shot back.

“What the hell is your problem?

Vampires are here!” he yelled.

“Yeah, I think I know that.” She rolled

her eyes.

“Izzy, you can’t be serious. I came to

protect you!” he growled.
They continued to argue back and forth
as Peter sat down and watched. I sighed
and stood out of my crouch.

“…That’s not fair! Two out of three!”

Jacob ordered as they started playing
rock, paper, scissors.

“Um, can we get back to the vampires?”

Char asked.

Jake growled at her and Peter hissed

back.

Bella got between them.

“No one is fighting in this God damn

hotel!” she ordered.

I wrapped my arm around her slim waist,

just incase it turned into a brawl.
Bella pressed her small hands to my
chest and looked at me with stern eyes.

“Make them stop! Now, Jasper!” she

growled.

I sighed and whistled lowly.

Char and Peter both snapped their heads

to me.

“We’re leaving.” I sighed.

“What? I’m not leaving without,

Puddin’.” Peter complained.

“No!” Jake hissed.

“Jake!” Bella growled.

“Bella’s coming with us!” Char grabbed
Bella’s hand.

Jake growled and snatched her away

from me. I growled back.

“STOP!” Bella screamed.

We all turned silent.

“Jasper, I’ll talk to you later. Right now I

need to deal with the wolves.” She stated
calmly.

Peter and Char’s shoulders slumped in

defeat and they left the room. I nodded
and decided to come back tonight.

Bella
After finally calming down Jake and
sending him home, I took a shower.

I blow-dried my hair and combed

through it. I put it up into a ponytail and
walked to my room.

I locked eyes with gold ones.

I immediately let out a scream as I

clutched my white towel.

After my minute-scream, the towel

dropped from my numb hands and my
naked body was exposed.

Jasper’s eyes widened and he shielded

his eyes.

“Dammit! Sorry, Bella.” He apologized.

I was still frozen, but I quickly recovered
and threw the towel back on me.

“Oh my GOD! You saw me naked!” I

shrieked.

I quickly grabbed an over sized white

shirt and some jogging shorts. I grabbed
some underwear and ran to the
bathroom.

I quickly changed and walked back to

the room.

Jasper still had his eyes covered as I sat

across from him on the bed.

“Jasper,” I called.

He removed one hand hesitantly then the

other with a relieved sigh.
“Are you saying my body is ugly?” I
questioned with a sly smirk.

“No…wait! Ugh!” he rambled and

grabbed at his curls.

I laughed and patted his hands away

from his hair. I continued to rub my
fingers through them.

He began to purr and I laughed again as I

scraped my nails over his scalp.

“I missed you, Bella.” He whispered,

offering me a small smile.

“I missed you, too, Jasper.” I smiled

back.

“So, you forgive me?”

He grinned, catching my wrist in his
hand and dancing his fingers across my
palm.

“Yeah, I mean the whole party was

completely fucked up. They were fucking
vampires. And with my bad luck and
clumsiness, anything could have
happened. Hell, a bear could’ve broken
through the wall, grabbed me, and took
off.” I laughed.

“It would’ve gotten far.” He chuckled

with me.

We were silent for a few moments, his

fingers still moving across my palm.

“But I still wanted to apologize. How can

I make it up to you?” he took both my
hands in his, rubbing his cool thumbs
over my heated skin.

I smirked.

“Get down on your knees.” I ordered.

“What?” he looked at me, stunned.

“You heard me. Get down on one

fucking knee, Jasper. If you want my
acceptance get down on your knees.”

He sighed, but did like I commanded.

“Beg.” I answered simply.

“Isabella Marie Swan, please accept my

deepest apologies.” He said in a deep
voice and bowed his head to me.
I grinned, “You are forgiven.”

“Good.” He smiled back widely and I

felt my breath get stuck in my throat.

He rose up to his feet.

“What has happened to the family?” I

asked, tilting my head to the side in
curiosity.

“First, Rose and Emmett went to go

travel the world…again. Last I heard,
they were in the Bahamas, but that was a
month ago. Carlisle and Esme are still in
Alaska while Alice and Edward are in
Canada.” He sneered the last two names.

I turned angry at their mentioning.

“Good. You know what I think? I think
they deserve each other.”

“What?” Jasper frowned.

“Think about it. They controlled both

our lives, or tried to. They hated
everything we did and thought lowly of
us. They’re perfect for each other.” I
rambled.

Jasper smiled at me and nodded.

“You know what, Bella? You are

absolutely right. I let Alice control my
life and I will no longer do so.” He
grinned.

“Just like Edward. He thought I was a

weak human who couldn’t even stand on
my two feet.”
“We make a great team.” Jasper mused.

“We sure do.” I agreed.

“Friends?” he stuck out his pale hand.

I hesitated and thought about it for a

second.

Jasper would never leave me again, not

after this.

I smiled and nodded.

“Friends.” I took his stone grip in my

hand and shook it lightly.

Friends…
The next day I went to Jake’s house.

I parked my Chevy.

I was surprised it made it all this time.

Which is awesome, but I had a feeling it
was going to die soon.

Jacob opened the door and leaned against

as he glared at me. His nostrils flared and
I knew he caught the whiff of vampires.

“Isabella Fucking Swan, why the hell do

you smell like vampires still?” he
grounded out.

“Don’t start that shit. And you know

why.” I growled, pointing my finger at
him.
Seth walked by and smiled kindly at me.
His nose wrinkled in distaste though.

“Ew, you stink, Izz.” He grinned then

loped off.

“Love you, too.” I called sarcastically.

I turned back to Jake.

“Is he coming back?” he asked.

“No, it’s just Jasper.” I assured him.

He relaxed a little, but kept his form.

“So, that’s it? You’re just going to

forgive him and everything’s peachy. Is
it BF? Or BFFs?” he snarled
sarcastically.
“Jake, stop it. He’s practiced. He’s fine
with me. And yes we are friends and
we’re intending on staying that way.”

I stormed over to my car, about to make

a dramatic exit when I dropped my keys.

Jacob sighed and leaned back as he

watched me.

I tried to put the keys in the keyhole, but

the little shit wouldn’t stay still.

“Bells? What are you do—?”

“I am storming out of here!” I yelled,

cutting him off.

I got into the car and drove off.

Nothing was keeping me from Jasper.

Nothing…

Jasper

“Peter, could you try to be a little more

polite? Bella’s coming over.” Charlotte
complained as she knocked her
husband’s feet off the coffee table.

“Puddin’s cool, honey. She won’t care if

I’m naked. Matter of fact…” he trailed
off suggestively.

He started to get up while unbuttoning

his shirt, but I grabbed him.

“Don’t even think about it.” I sighed,

looking at the TV.
“I wasn’t even going to do it.” He
defended.

I rolled my eyes, but I was secretly

worried about her being here.

What if she didn’t like it?

What if she got scared?

What if Peter got naked?! Oh God the

shame!

I turned to the stupid vampire.

“I swear to God, Peter, if you get

naked…” I trailed off on my threat.

“Don’t worry, Major. I won’t get

naked…at least…not right now.” He
smirked.
I smacked him in the back of the head.

“OW! Abusive.” He muttered, rubbing

his head.

Suddenly, there was a roar of a

motorcycle and we all dashed outside.

Jacob was turning off his vehicle as

Bella took off her helmet.

She turned to smile at us.

“Puddin’!!” Peter grinned and zoomed

over to her to pick her up.

Jacob tensed a little as Peter grabbed her

and started spinning her around.

He turned to us with hateful eyes.

“I just wanted to let you bloodsuckers
know, if you guys hurt her again, I’m
bringing the Gates of Hell down on your
stone asses.” With that said, he zoomed
off on his motorcycle.

Bella rolled her eyes, but hugged Peter

back.

“It’s so nice to see you guys again.” She

smiled.

“I have missed your perfect ass,

Puddin’.” Peter grinned as he smacked it.

Bella yelped and jumped in his arms. She

glared up at him as he roared with
laughter.
I snatched her away from him, matching
my glare with Bella’s.

“Oops! Sorry, Major.” He grinned

sheepishly.

“How about we go show you to the room

we fixed up for you?” Char asked Bella,
grinning.

“Room? Oh, no! I have a room. You

guys didn’t have to—” she was cut off by
me sweeping her off her feet and
throwing her over my shoulder.

She let out a huff as she landed on my

stone shoulder.

Peter poked her thigh that had a skull on

it. It was beautiful with roses and designs
flowing down behind her leg.
“Why’d you get that one?” he asked as I
carried Bella inside.

I placed her on the comfy couch and sat

next to her.

“Um, that was my second one. I got it

because Jake’s imprintee dared me to do
it. I loved it after I got it.” She explained,
staring at her tattoo.

She lifted up her shirt over her stomach

and pointed to the writing on her ribs.

Some say the world will end in

fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Peter and Char grinned at the poem. I

loved it, but wasn’t sure for the reason
she got this.

“What is it about?” I asked.

“It was about when I was in love in with

two guys. Edward and Jake.” She
shrugged.

I frowned, but I understood.

Fire and Ice. Jacob and Edward.

“Another one! Another one!” Char

chanted.
Bella picked up her small feet and Peter
poked her toes.

She chuckled and showed the bottom of

her foot.

These violent delights

Have violent ends
And in their triumph die,
Like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume.

“Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene VI.” I

smirked, tracing the letters.

“Another! Another!” Char called.

Bella grinned and let go of her foot. She

lifted her short sleeved shirt and showed
us the flowers on her arms.
Hibiscus.

“Beautiful…” we all mused.

Bella just shrugged and pointed to her

right ear which hid stars.

Then she showed us her left wrist which

had a queen’s crown on it.

We all laughed at that.

“That’s all of them,” She shrugged again.

It was silent for a moment before Peter

started sending waves of curiosity.

“What, Peter?” I frowned, looking at

him.
“Well,” He tapped his chin and looked
up at the ceiling, “I was just wonderin’ if
you have told Puddin’ about your past?”

Bella’s confusion spiked and she turned

to me.

“What?” she frowned.

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my

nose.

“Charlotte, Peter, can I talk to Bella

alone?” I frowned.

“Of course.” Charlotte said gently.

“See ya, Puddin’.” Peter grinned, kissing

Bella’s forehead before leaving.
I took Bella’s hands in mine and rubbed
her hot skin. She was silent, watching me
with wary eyes.

“As friends, I think you should know my

past…”

I started the story, about Maria, the

newborns, the armies, Peter and
Charlotte, about the thousands of
vampires and people I had killed, about
the scars.

I didn’t look her in her brown eyes the

entire time.

She was quiet after the story.

“Let me see them,” She spoke quietly.

“What?” I looked up at her to see she
was watching me through narrowed eyes.

“Let me see the scars, Jasper,” She

whispered.

Before I could respond, her small warm

hands were under my shirt, placing her
hands on my chest.

She ran her hot fingers over my skin,

feeling the crescent shaped scars.

After a while, she pulled back.

She was silent again, but I felt no fear or

disgust like I felt from Alice.

I growled impatiently.

Bella looked up at me with raised brows.

“Why are you not disgusted? Why are
you not scared? You feel no remorse or
fear. What the hell is wrong with you?” I
growled.

She became angry.

“Me?! What the fuck is wrong with you?

Don’t you get it? These scars mean
something. These mean that you didn’t
give up and you’re not a coward. They
make you beautiful, Jazz.” She
whispered the last part and took my hand
in hers.

I smiled at beautiful. She was beautiful.

“Thank you, Bella. That means a lot.” I

whispered.
“It should,” she grinned.

Peter and Charlotte conveniently walked

back in and smirked at us.

“Who wants to make cookies?” Peter

asked.

“Bella and Jasper can make cookies. I

want you to help me pull out the weeds
in the back.” Char grabbed Peter by the
ear and pulled him outside as he
complained.

Bella chuckled and followed me into the

kitchen.

Bella

Jasper started pulling out things in

vampire speed.
Eggs, milk, flour, chocolate chips, etc.

Jasper started mixing the things I told

him to mix his speed, making everything
easier.

Though he did look at the utensils with

curious golden eyes, tilting his blonde
curled head to the side with confusion as
I explained what to do with them.

I found it cute and giggled at his

confusion.

When I told him to use the mixer he

frowned in annoyance when it wouldn’t
start.
I sighed and plugged it in. He grinned at
me then pressed the button to make it
start…

That’s when all hell broke loose.

Jasper slowly put the heavy moving

mixers in the mixings and batter flew
everywhere.

I screamed and ducked for cover as the

dough flew everywhere.

Jasper wasn’t so lucky.

It splattered all over him, his hair, his

clothes, and his face.

After I reached out to unplug it, I

couldn’t stifle my laughter.
It was all over Jasper.

I busted into a fiddle of giggles,

clutching my stomach.

It had been a long time since I had done

this and it felt good to have fun.

Jasper’s golden eyes turned pitch black

as he saw me laughed.

I didn’t know if he was angry or just

teasing me, but it made me laugh harder.

I stopped when I felt something wet in

my hair.

I brought my hands up slowly to see that

Jasper had cracked an egg into my hair.

That I had just washed!

“Son of a bitch…” I muttered as I stood
up and glared at him.

Jasper just smirked at me.

I grabbed an egg out of the carton and

smashed it into his curly head.

He growled at me and grabbed some

leftover batter to rub all over my shirt.

“PETER!!” I shrieked.

In less than a second, Peter was right in

front of me and grabbed the bowel of
batter to throw on Jasper’s head.

“See ya!” he grinned as he threw me on

his back and took off out of the house.
We dashed through the woods, dodging
trees as we went. I was aware that Jasper
was chasing us.

“Just give it up, Jasper!!” I cackled into

the woods.

“NEVER!!” he yelled back.

Peter laughed as he sprung himself over

the river and I hooted with exhilaration.

Peter cheered with me until we were

suddenly interrupted by a hit from the
left.

Peter wasn’t expecting it so he fell into

the river while the cold set of arms
pulled me off of him.
I grinned, expecting Jasper’s face until I
felt the familiarly of dread pass over me.

I was looking into the face of my past

lover.

“E-Edward…” I whispered, staring into

his piecing honey eyes.

Jasper

I skidded to a halt as I smelled his scent.

He had Bella that I was sure of.

I ran forward and…

That’s when I saw them. Edward had his

arms wrapped possessively around
Bella’s curvy body.
Peter was in the river and sprung out as
he glared at Edward, growling.

Edward tensed as he snarled back at him.

“Let go of me.” Bella whispered.

Edward turned to her, stunned.

“What?” he questioned.

“Get the hell off of me, Edward!” she

growled as she struggled in his stone
grip.

I dashed over to them and snatched her

away from his arms.

Edward frowned at me.

“What the hell are you doing here,
Edward?” I growled.

“Me? What are you doing here?”

“I live here.”

“The family does, too.” He answered,

never taking his eyes off of Bella.

Family?

“Bella,” he said as he looked at her body,

“What did you do to yourself?”

She was livid.

“Fuck you! If you were there you

could’ve stopped me, but no, because of
you all my fucking family is dead!” she
screamed as I held her back. “And the
thing about it was you could’ve just
come and I would’ve at least tried to
forgive you, but that went all down hill
when you slept with your fucking sister,
his ex-wife, my best friend, ALICE!!!”

Edward was shocked by her speech, but

it was quickly replaced with anger as he
turned to look at me.

“What the hell? You told her?!” he

snarled.

I put Bella behind me and growled at

him.

“She deserved to know, Edward.”

Peter got in between us and pushed our

chests away from each other.
“I would back off, Fuckward. Don’t want
Puddin’ to get hurt.” He warned.

“Yeah, motherfucker! Hurt me again!”

Bella was yelling behind me.

Peter grabbed her incase this turned into

a fight while she screamed profanities at
Edward.

I froze. I smelled it. A smell hadn’t

smelled in three years.

Vanilla.

That’s when she was in front of me.

Alice.

“Son of a bitch!” Bella yelled,

exasperated.
“Jazzy!” Alice squealed as she wrapped
her arms around my waist and hugged
me tightly.

She was suddenly thrown back and Char

was in front of me possessively.

“Don’t touch him, pixie.” She growled at

Alice.

Alice sighed and dusted some of the dirt

off her clothes.

“We should all talk.” She whispered,

staring at me.

Edward came out of his crouch and

nodded.
We started to walk back to the house
when Char grabbed my arm.

“What the hell happened to my kitchen?”

she asked sweetly.

“Uh…” Peter frowned.

Bella was too livid to answer, cursing out

Alice and Edward here and there.

When we got back to the house, Peter

put Bella down and she stormed inside.

Alice grabbed my arm before I could

walk in.

“We need to talk.” She begged.

I groaned, but nodded as we took off for

the forest.
Bella

To say I was angry was a fucking

understatement. I was ready to break
shit.

I paced the living room, hands on my

hips as Edward watched me.

“Love, will you sit down—”

“Shut the fuck up! You have no right to

come in here and tell me shit!” I growled
at him.

He sighed and stayed silent as I started

pacing again.

“Are we going to talk or not?” he finally

asked.
I turned to glare at him then nodded. I
needed to hear what he was going to say.

He reached for my hand and I granted it

to him so he could pull me down on the
couch.

I took a deep calming breath and nodded

for him to start.

“I am so sorry. Words cannot express

how sorry I am. But I did this for us,”
Before I could curse him out again, he
put a cold finger on my lips, “When
Jasper attacked you on your birthday, I
realized I kept putting you in constant
danger. It hurt me, but I left you to keep
you safe. Don’t you get it? I did this for
us.” He whispered the last part and
cupped my face.
“Oh, really? Was letting my parents die
for us, too?” I sneered sarcastically.

He frowned as his golden eyes turned

one shade darker.

“What are you doing with Jasper?” he

asked, changing the subject.

“That’s none of your fucking business.” I

growled.

“Don’t curse, Bella. It’s very unlady

like.” He replied coolly.

“Oh, well, maybe I should be more lady-

like.” I said sarcastically.

“Foda-se! Tenha uma vida de merda. Eu

não estou levando você de volta. Você
não está mais na minha vida e merda Eu
te odeio puta. Vá dormir com sua irmã
fodendo e talvez eu vou fazer o mesmo
com seu irmão de merda.” I said in fluent
Portuguese.

I should’ve known he knew the

language, he’s a know-it-all anyway.

His eyes turned pitch black as he

growled under his breath.

His suffocating scent washed my senses

and he stepped closer to me.

Though I did not back down, I was a

little scared when he grabbed my wrist
tightly in his hand.

“Let go of me, Edward!”

I tried to fight against his grip, but it got
tighter and tighter and I felt my hand
grow numb with pain.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang of a

door and the pain was gone. Edward was
no longer in front of me.

There was a hole in the wall and Edward

was in it.

Jasper followed after him and they went

through more walls until they were
outside.

I ignored the ache in my wrist and

followed after them. Jasper was pinned
to a tree by the neck.

“Get the hell off me, Edward!” Jasper

growled.
“Stay away from Bella.” Edward replied,
hissing.

The positions were switched and they

were wrestling.

There was a dash of black and Alice was

pulling Edward away.

“Stop it!” she shrieked.

I ran over to Jasper and checked for any

injuries, he was fine, of course.

“Jasper!” I said breathlessly and wrapped

my arms around him.

His stone arms were around me in less

than a second and were holding me
protectively against his chest.
Edward growled again, but Alice
interrupted him.

“We’re back, Jazzy.” She whispered.

He growled.

“I don’t want you people back. That’s

why I left.”

“Rose wanted to live close. Em and her

are here already with Carlisle and Esme.
Edward and I are living with them.” She
explained.

“No! Edward you promised I wouldn’t

see any of you again! I will not let you
vampires back in my life! You guys are
done!” I yelled.
“Bella, I’m your best friend—” Alice
started as she came closer to me with
open arms.

“Stay the fuck away from me! Eu vou

foder você, Alice. Você não é nada para
mim. Você fodeu seu irmão, pelo amor
de Deus. Se você chegar perto de mim
novamente, eu vou fazer Charlotte se
mata, porra do duende.” I yelled at her.

She looked at me, shocked until Char

came over in a flash.

“I heard my name.” she grinned evilly at

Alice.

Peter zoomed over to me and picked me

up bridal style.
“I’m taking Puddin’ up to her room,
Major. Deal with this shit.” Peter nodded
towards the unwanted vamps and carried
me into the house.

Jasper

I growled at the two vampires as

Charlotte stayed by my side.

“What is your relationship with Bella?”

Edward frowned as he straightened out
of his crouch.

I smirked and showed him everything.

How we threw eggs at each other, how

she touched my scars, how she took my
hands, how I saw her naked…
And what a beautiful body she has,
Edward. I don’t understand how you
were so prude with her.

I was tackled again by Edward and we

started wrestling again. Charlotte and
Alice pulled us off of each other.

“Fuck you, Edward! What are you?

Jealous?” I teased.

“Stay away from her, Jasper.” He

growled.

Suddenly, there was a familiar booming

laugh and Emmett stepped out of the
forest.

“What the fuck? What is this? A soap

opera?” I frowned as I stared at Em.
“Dun dun DUUUNN!!!” Em grinned,
“Yes, it is me, Jasper, your half brother.”

I chuckled.

I have missed him.

Char turned towards Edward and Alice.

“This is my property, so get the fuck off

it.” She growled.

Alice was about to say something when

Edward cut her off.

“We’ll leave and go see Carlisle. We’ll

be over tomorrow.” And then they were
gone.

Emmett radiated confusion.

“What the hell happened?”

I couldn’t answer; I had to make sure

Bella was okay.

Bella

Peter placed me on the white bed and

checked my wrist.

I kept my face straight as he examined

me. I refused to show pain made by
Edward Cullen.

“What happened, Puddin’?” he asked,

pressing his fingers softly to the bruises.

“Edward grabbed my fucking wrist and

almost snapped the bitch.” I sneered as I
looked closely at it.
Jasper was in front of me in less than a
second and a small smile graced my lips.

His fingers were feather light and I

barely felt any pain.

“I’ll kill him.” He growled as he pressed

his cold fingers to my bruises.

He was literally shaking, but I took my

free hand and weaved my hands through
his curls.

He started to purr lightly as Peter patted

a hand onto his shoulder.

“Calm down, Major. Fuckward and

Alice are gone.” He said quietly.

“BUT I’M NOT!” I heard a familiar

voice boom from downstairs.
I frowned and looked down at Jasper,
confused.

Suddenly, I was in the air and arms were

wound tightly around me.

I cried out when I felt the pain from my

wrist and I was snatched back down to
earth.

I was hid protectively behind Jasper as

he growled at a surprised Emmett.

“Sorry! I just haven’t seen Bells in

awhile—” he was cut off by me.

“Emmett!” I cried happily as I ran to

give him a hug and buried my face into
his hard chest.
I could literally feel his smugness
radiating off of him and I rolled my eyes.

I looked up at him to see he was staring

at me. He let me go to look me over.

“Shit, Bells, you look so different.

Actually, you got that whole rocker
chick thing going on. It’s pretty hot. I
mean the hair and the tattoos are enough
to give me a boner.” He grinned as he
spanked my ass.

I yelped and jumped.

“Why does everyone keep touching my

ass?” I frowned, hands on hips.

I was snatched away by Peter.

“Yeah! That’s my job!” he grinned as he
smacked my ass playfully.

Em let out a booming laugh and did the

same.

Jasper growled and pulled me from their

touchy hands.

I smiled at him as I breathed in his

wonderful scent.

“You guys are pervs.” He sighed and

shook his head.

“Got that right.” Charlotte grinned as she

walked inside.

“Bella, why don’t you get ready for bed

and I’ll run a bath for you?” Jasper asked
as he placed me on the bed.
I smiled and nodded vigorously.

He flashed me a stunning grin before

dashing out of the room.

Emmett grinned at me and pulled me

into a gentler hug.

I patted his hard back and he chuckled as

he let me go.

He walked out after his phone rung and

flashed Rosalie.

Char kissed my forehead and left with

Peter after he said, “Goodnight, Puddin.
Don’t let the Jasper bugs bite.”
I shivered at the thought of Jasper biting
me until he was in front of me. He
handed me a long, white bathrobe.

“Thanks.” I smiled thankfully.

I went to the bathroom to find the giant

bath filled with mild bubbles and hot
water.

I put my hair in a messy bun and slid into

the tub. I relaxed after awhile.

After an hour in the tub, I dried off and

put on the robe.

I washed my face of makeup and let my

hair fall down my neck, still wet.

I went to my guest bedroom to find

Jasper there.
He was reading a book, sprawled out on
the bed.

I rolled my eyes as amusement rolled off

of me.

Jasper’s head snapped to my direction

and he smiled.

I raised an eyebrow in question and sat

next to him on the bed.

I sent strong waves of sadness and

Jasper’s eyes turned glossy.

Next, I sent happiness and a giant smile

graced his lips.

Then, I sent humor and he started

laughing.
Soon, his laughter was contagious and
we were both laughing like morons.

“Ah, young love.” Peter said from the

door.

I turned my head to see he was leaning

against the wall, watching us and
rubbing his chin.

“Shut up.” I smirked and threw a pillow

at him, that he easily dodged.

“I think Bella needs some sleep.” Jasper

chuckled.

“Fine, but I’ll be back.” Peter warned

and walked out.
Jasper patted my leg and I turned my
attention to him.

“I’ll, um, let you get dressed.” He

whispered before dashing out of the
room.

I put on some underwear then some

small cotton shorts. I pulled on a big
white t shirt and whistled lowly.

Jasper walked in and grinned at me as he

plopped down on the bed.

I lay down with him as we started joking

with each other.

We talk about many things: Cars,

clothes, tattoos, injuries, food, hunting,
hair, me, him…
I didn’t remember falling asleep, but I
did.

When I woke up, I saw I was wrapped in

Jasper’s cool arms.

I groaned and stretched in his strong

limbs as I turned over to smile at him.

“Good morning.” I whispered.

“Good morning, Darlin’.” He responded.

Suddenly, the bedroom door busted open

and I choked on my spit.

Standing in the doorway with a big shit-

eating grin and in blue footie pajamas,
was Emmett.
I busted into laughter and Jasper just
shook his head and chuckled.

“You two laugh, but you both know I

look good.” Em grinned as he put his
hands on his hips proudly. “Can we go
now, Jasper?”

Jasper nodded and looked at me.

“Do you want to go in that or change?”

he asked.

“I need to change.” I responded and went

to the bathroom to get dressed.

I brushed my teeth and put on some

shorts to show off my tattoos.

I put on a navy camisole with a white

and navy blue plaid shirt over it.
I left the buttons open to show the
camisole and let my hair fall down my
shoulders.

I put on my light makeup.

Jasper was still waiting for me and I

smiled as I pulled on some black sandals.

“First, let’s get you some breakfast.” He

insisted.

I followed him downstairs where I

smelled food.

“BACON!” I squealed as I saw the plate

on the counter.

I was about to reach for it when Peter’s

pale hand pulled it from my reach.
I pouted up at him as he just smirked and
shrugged.

“Don’t I get a kiss first with those

beautiful pink lips of yours?”

I sighed and pressed my lips to his

cheek. He grimaced and shook his head.

“Nope. A real kiss, Puddin’.” He

insisted.

I rolled my eyes and gave him a peck on

the lips.

He grinned fully as I took the bacon and

eggs from him and started eating.

“WHOO! Peter: 1, Jasper: 0.” He

grinned.
I rolled my eyes.

After eating, Jasper picked me up and

carried me outside.

“How far away is their house?” I asked.

“Just north of here. It’s about ten miles

away.” He shrugged, but I could hear
something brewing behind his calm
demeanor.

I turned to him.

“Shall we go then?” I asked.

“We shall.”
He grinned, throwing me onto his back
and taking off, Peter, Char, and Em
following us.

Jasper

I put Bella down as we arrived at the

house.

She took a deep calming breath.

Em was radiating worry for Bella.

He didn’t want to see his little sister get
hurt again.

She nodded at me and I grabbed her

hand. She smiled softly up at me,
interlacing our fingers together.

We walked inside together with the

others behind.
Bella was immediately taken from me by
Esme.

“Oh, Bella! I have missed you! Please

forgive me!” Esme begged as she latched
herself onto Bella.

Bella hugged her back.

“I could never stay upset at my mother.”

She whispered.

Esme sobbed tearlessly into her chest

with silent ‘thank you’s’ until Emmett
grabbed her.

Carlisle nodded at me and smiled

warmly down at Bella.
“I hope that means the same for me,
Bella. I am really sorry about how we
left you.” He said sincerely.

Bella encased him into a hug and he was

momentarily shocked by it until he
wrapped his arms around her small
frame.

Rose tackled me to the ground and

wrapped her arms around me.

“Where have you been, brother?” she

whispered.

“Places.” I grinned as I picked her up

with me.

“Well, take me with you next time.” She

grinned.
I smirked back.

Rosalie and I were always close. Even

when we were far away I could feel her.
She was my twin after all…

As soon as Rose’s arms left me, Esme’s

replaced them.

“I missed my son.” she whispered.

I smiled at her and hugged her back.

“And I missed my mom.” I replied.

She grinned and let me go.

Bella came to stand next to me and her

smile faltered when she saw Edward and
Alice at the stairs.
“Bella,” Edward whispered.

“Jasper!” Alice beamed at me.

“Fuck that.” Bella whispered under her

breath.

I chuckled and squeezed her hand.

Edward’s eyes darted down to our
conjoined fingers and he growled.

“Can we have a family meeting?” Alice

asked, looking at Carlisle.

Esme nodded and everyone walked over

to the couches.

Bella sat down on the couch and Alice

pulled me over to sit next to her. Edward
positioned himself next to Bella.
Rose and Emmett sat down next to Esme
and Carlisle.

Char sat down in an armchair as Peter sat

by her feet.

“Why did we call this?” Rose asked.

“Alice, Edward, Bella, and Jasper have

some unresolved issues and we will let
them talk it out.” Carlisle responded.

“Or fight it out.” Bella said, smirking.

“Who can you possibly hurt in this

family?” Em asked, grinning at her.

“Oh, it’s not me who will be doing the

hurting.” She answered.
We all turned to Peter and Charlotte as
they grinned evilly.

“Edward can start.” I sneered at him.

Bella scooted herself away from him, but

he grabbed her hand tightly in his.

I growled lowly.

“Alice and I had sex.” He whispered.

Everyone in the room either gasped or

growled.

Rose jumped up, but Em grabbed her

hand.

Esme was mortified.

“Edward? Alice? Is this true?” she asked.

They both let their heads drop in shame.

“Yes.”

Esme nodded and stayed silent. Carlisle

had yet to speak.

“When?” he asked.

“Various times before I met Bella and on

her birthday.” Edward whispered.

Bella shot up and snatched her hand

from his.

“On my fucking birthday!? Perfect! Just

fucking perfect! Si eres broma? Te di
todo y que me hagas esto! Podríamos
haber estado juntos por siempre! Mierda
polla! Yo quería pasar SIEMPRE CON
USTED!” she screamed at Edward.

Tears were flowing down her beautiful

face as she pounded her fists onto
Edward’s chest, screaming at him in
different languages.

Char grabbed her wrists and pulled her

away from Edward.

She slumped to the floor as Char held

her.

I wanted badly to comfort her, but

Alice’s gripped my hand tightly.

“You bastard! How could you do that!?”

Rose screamed.

“It wasn’t my fault—”

“And you,” she jabbed a finger towards
Alice, “You bitch!”

“Rosalie!” Esme scolded.

“You know you’re thinking it, too,

Esme. Fuck those two.” Rose spat,
glaring at Edward and Alice.

“That’s enough, Rosalie.” Carlisle

ordered.

She sat down next to Emmett, keeping

quiet.

“Alice, do you have anything to say?” I

sneered, glancing at her.

She tightened her hold on my hand and

grimaced.
“It was a mistake.” She whispered, trying
to pull me close, but I just growled at
her.

Peter growled with me.

“When you make a mistake, you learn

from them, but all you did was do it
again, and again, and again, and again—”

“Peter, stop.” I frowned, glaring at him.

“…and again, and again, and again, and

again—”

“STOP!” Edward roared, his eyes pitch

black as he glared at Peter.

“What? Tired of hearing the truth?” he

teased.
“Do you remember what you said to me
in the forest, Edward?” Bella asked as
she stood up from Char.

Edward’s eyes turned darker, if possible,

as he watched Bella.

“You said you didn’t want me anymore.

You said I wasn’t good enough,” She did
a bad impression of Edward’s voice; “Of
course I’ll always love you in a way. But
what happened the other night made me
realize that it’s time for change. Because
I’m tired of pretending to be something
I’m not, Bella. I am not human.”

Peter, Char, Rose, Em, me, and even

Esme growled at that as we all turned to
glare at Edward.
“I don’t want to see his face anymore!
Kill him, Peter! Kill him NOW!” Bella
screamed.

Peter stood with Char as they grinned.

“With pleasure.” Peter stepped forward.

“NO!” Alice cried as she finally let go of

my hand and stepped in between them.

“Everyone just calm down!” Carlisle

ordered.

Bella kept going on with her

impressions:

“Don’t do anything reckless or stupid.”

“I don’t want you to come with me,

Bella.”
“You’re not good for me, Bella.”

Esme stood up with a growl at that as did

Rose.

Everyone was against Edward and Alice

and I was glad to join in.

Peter and Char took another step

forward.

“I did it for her!” Edward yelled.

Hell broke loose…

Everyone started screaming at once, their

emotions going haywire, causing me to
fall back to the couch.

“Calm down!”
“Fuck you, Edward!”

“Bella, love!”

“You hurt her!”

“Get the hell off me!”

“I hate you!”

“Fuck you, asshole!”

“Don’t touch her!”

“You’ve done enough, Fuckward!”

“Puddin’!”

“Fuck you!”
“Let me go!”

“Burn in hell!”

“Bella!”

“STOP!!!” a voice boomed, causing

everyone to stop and turn to Emmett.

“Thank you, Emmett.” Carlisle sighed

with relief.

I grabbed Bella’s waist to bring her

down to me. I didn’t know why, but she
always made me feel better.

I placed her on my lap and she

intertwined her hand with mine.

Edward growled at me as everyone sat

down again.
Carlisle sighed as he watched everyone
with cautious eyes.

“Bella, do you have anything to say to

them?” she opened her mouth to say
something, but he cut her off, “That
hasn’t have anything to do with their
deaths?”

She shrugged and looked away.

I chuckled silently as I squeezed her

hand. Edward growled again.

Bella turned to him.

“What the fuck is your problem? Is there

something stuck in your throat?” she
hissed at him.
“I don’t like Jasper touching you, Bella.”
He answered simply.

“It’s none of your business what Jasper

touches. He could touch my ass and I
wouldn’t give a shit.” She sneered.

If I could’ve blushed, I would have.

Emmett let out a loud laugh as Rose

cracked a smile with Charlotte. Peter
chuckled and shook his head.

Edward did not find it amusing.

Bella snuggled closer to me wrapped her

arms around my torso.

Edward and Alice growled at that

movement.
“Jealous, pixie bitch?” Rose frowned at
Alice as she stood up. “You hurt Bella
and I hurt you.”

“Rosalie Lillian Hale sit down.” Esme

ordered.

“I’m ready to go home.” Bella spoke up,

standing with me.

Peter and Charlotte stood up as well,

heading for the door.

“Bella, love…” Edward grabbed Bella’s

arm and I growled.

“You had your chance, Edward. Leave

her alone.” I snarled at him. “Bella isn’t
yours anymore.”

He turned to glare at me.

Suddenly, Alice was growling.

She grabbed the coffee table and threw it

into the wall, creating a hole.

“Is that why you’re with her, Jasper!?

She’s using you! She’s been using all of
us! All that Bella wants is drama in this
family! Fuck her! She took our marriage
—”

“NO! You destroyed our marriage by

sleeping with Edward!” I roared at her.

She didn’t back down.

“So what? You’re going to fuck with the

human now? You’re going to forget our
decades of love!?” she screamed,
pushing me back.
“You forgot it when you fucked him!” I
snarled at her.

“You’re falling for her trap!” she pushed

me back again.

“For a year she walked around here

parading her little body, trying to make
you her’s!” she pushed me back again so
that I hit the wall.

“I swear to God, Alice, I have never hit a

woman, but your fucking pushing it!” I
growled at her.

She ignored me.

“And the worst part about it is that you

fell for it!!” she shrieked and I fell
through the wall, plaster falling around
me.

Everyone turned silent as I felt anger

sweep over me.

“Major…” Peter warned.

“Oh, your in for it now, pixie.” Char

shook her head as she stepped in front of
Bella protectively.

I stood back up and I felt my eyes turn

black with anger.

“Little bitch wants to play rough?” I

chuckled, shaking my head as I stalked
towards Alice.

“I can do that.” I growled.

Before I could stop myself, I grabbed
Alice by the neck, lifting her small body
up.

“I’ll fucking kill you.” I grounded out as

I squeezed.

I felt something warm hit my side and

small fingers prying at my clenched fist.

Her voice was hazy and didn’t break

through me.

“Jazz, stop it!” Bella hissed.

I shook my head.

“Jasper Whitlock! Stop it!” she growled,

her voice still fuzzy.

I shook my head again.

“JAZZ, STOP!” she yelled.

Finally, her voice broke through my

subconscious and I dropped the pixie.

Bella wrapped her warm arms around me

and pulled me towards her.

“It’s okay, Jazz. She’s not worth it.” She

whispered into my ear.

I grabbed her hand again and sighed.

“We should go.” Char finally broke the

heavy silence.

“Bella! Don’t leave with him! You don’t

know about him! You don’t know about
his past.” Edward rambled.
Bella turned and glared at him.

“Oh, I know all about Jasper, Edward.

And it’s really fucked up that you didn’t
tell me about it. Now, if no one has
anything else to say, I’m leaving.” She
spat out, squeezing my hand, and starting
towards the door.

Peter and Char took off for the forest and

Bella hopped into my arms next.

“Wait! Bella!” Rosalie called as she

stopped in front of us.

I could feel her desperation and

determination. I raised an eyebrow in
question.

“I just wanted to say that you will always

have me.” She whispered.
Bella frowned.

“I mean, I want to be your friend, Bella. I

know I was always mean to you, but I
want to make it up.” She explained.

Bella nodded and gave her a small smile.

“I would like that, Rosalie.”

“Call me Rose…Bella.”

“Call me Izzy then, Rose.”

I smiled as they grinned widely at each

other.

Before anyone could say something else

to make Bella or myself happy or sad, I
took off, towards my home.
Bella

After taking a shower and wiping my

face clean of makeup, I put on a tank top
with some sweats.

I put a white head band in my hair and

grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.

When I closed it, there was Jasper. He

smirked down at me.

“Hey.” He greeted.

“Hey.” I whispered back. “Where are

Peter and Char?” I asked.

“They went hunting.” He said, gauging

my reaction.
I shrugged.

I didn’t care if they killed humans. Char

explained to me that they fed from rapist,
killers, alcoholics, etc.

“That! Right there!” Jasper frowned,

pointing a finger at me. “Why are you
not disgusted?”

I frowned back at him.

“Edward and Alice fucked, nothing

disgust me anymore.” I shrugged again
as I walked around him.

He chuckled humorlessly and followed

behind me.

I sat down on the tan couch and turned to

him.
“Are you not disgusted by me? I mean
Edward said my language was not
ladylike.” I sneered sarcastically.

“Darlin’, I could never be disgusted by

you. Being how beautiful you are.” His
lips pulled up to give a lop-sided smirk.

I blushed, embarrassingly.

“Don’t be embarrassed about it, Darlin’.”

He whispered.

I looked up into his topaz eyes and was

absorbed by their depths. He took my
breath away.

“Bella,” he whispered, his spicy scent

sweeping over me.
His face started to slowly bend towards
mine and I felt myself trying to bring
him closer.

I wounded my fingers into his curls as he

slowly got closer and closer.

Just a little more…

“I feel a Titanic moment coming on.” I

heard a familiar voice respond from
beside me.

I jumped and scooted myself away from

Jasper who was glaring at Peter.

“Sorry, it’s just you guys got all sweet

and started leaning towards each other.
Being the dick that I am, I had to ruin the
moment.” Peter shrugged.
“Ain’t that the fucking truth.” I growled
and rolled my eyes.

“Oh, don’t be put out, Puddin’. I had a

feeling that you guys were going to go
way over kissing.” He grinned at me
before darting into the kitchen.

Jasper rolled his eyes at him and huffed

as he stood up.

I followed after him and we looked at

each other awkwardly.

“I’m going to go to bed.” I said.

“Yeah…” Jasper sighed as he rubbed the

back of his neck.

I dashed upstairs and closed the door of

my room as I headed for the bathroom.
I stopped when I saw Rose perched up
on my bed.

She was looking at her nails intently,

filing them.

“How the fuck did you get in here?” I

frowned.

She shrugged as she continued to file her

nails.

“The window.” She responded.

“What the fuck is up with vampires and

windows?” I exclaimed.

“Sit down, Bella. I want to talk to you.”

She smiled up at me.
I sat down on the bed in front of her.

She sighed.

“Bella, I want us to get to know each

other and finally become friends, or
maybe even sisters. I’m sorry I was so
mean to you and resentful, but please
understand it was out of jealously.” She
explained.

“What do you mean out of jealously? I

mean…Rose, look at you.” I retorted.

“I know, but let me tell you why…”

She told me the story, about Royce, her

rape, Carlisle changing her, finding
Emmett.
“I didn’t realized you had been through
so much.” I whispered.

“It’s fine. I no longer care for pity so do

not give it to me. How about we go out
this weekend? I want to get to know you.
Maybe shop some and even get a new
tattoo. And just to let you know, I love
them.” She grinned.

I nodded vigorously and she grinned.

She walked over to the window, opened

it, and jumped out.

“Bellllllaaaaa…” said a voice in my ear.

I shooed the person away with my hands,
grumbling as I turned over in the bed,
eager to get some more sleep.

“Bella!” the voice called.

“Huuuuuuuhh?” I frowned grumpily.

“Get up.” It ordered.

“No.” I retorted.

Suddenly, there was a blinding light and

the covers were ripped off of my body.

I rubbed my eyes and glared sleepily up

at Peter, who was standing in front of the
sunny window, my sheets in his hands.
“What the fuck, Peter!” I cried as I
realized I was just in a white t shirt and
boy shorts.

Peter just shrugged and grabbed me out

of the bed.

“Friday is over. Saturday is in. Rose and

Char are downstairs for a Saturday of
shopping, tattoos, and eating those things
that you call food.” He grinned.

“The perfect day!” I grinned back.

He shrugged again and picked me up to

throw me over his shoulder. We were
downstairs in less than two seconds.

Char handed me some breakfast and I sat

on the couch to watch Peter and Em play
the Playstation 3.
Jasper came and sat next to me, but
farther away.

Ever since he had tried to kiss me, he

kept a distance.

I didn’t understand why.

I wanted him to kiss me. Needed him to

do it. But how could he do it when he
sits so far away.

I slid closer to him after I finished my

food and smiled brightly up at him.

He smirked back and I grabbed his hand

from the back of the couch.

His eyes darted down to my lips. I

started to lean closer…
“WOO! Jasper! Get some!” Emmett
boomed.

I jumped away from Jasper as we both

turned to glare at Em who had ruined the
moment.

He grinned sheepishly.

“Sorry.” He shrugged.

Char and Rose were watching us with

wide eyes after that certain performance.

They immediately grabbed my hand and

towed me up the stairs.

When we got to my room, they started

looking through my clothes.
I went and took a shower.

They grabbed dark skinny jeans and a

black v neck and black converses.

I didn’t feel like doing my hair so I put

on a tan saggy beanie on my head.

I threw on a jacket as Rose did my

makeup and then grabbed their stuff so
we could go.

When we were safe and sound in the car

Rose was the first to speak.

“What the hell was that?” she asked,

looking at me.

I rolled my eyes.
“Nothing, he wasn’t going to kiss me so
don’t worry.” I shrugged.

“Uh, Bella, yeah he was.” Char grinned

at me from the backseat.

“Did you want him to?” Rose asked.

“Fuck yeah!” I replied with a grin.

They both laughed and Rose stopped the

car at a tattoo/piercing parlor.

We all walked inside and the guy who

worked there was seriously checking us
out.

His eyes darted to Char, Rose, then to

me. He noticed my tattoos and licked his
lips.
Rose rolled her eyes as she heaved a
sigh.

She snapped her fingers in front of his

face to get his attention.

“If you’re done eye-fucking my friend,

then can you give her a tattoo?” she
asked sweetly.

I chuckled as I checked the tattoos they

had.

I wanted something small, but met a lot

of something.

I began to wrack my brain for something.

“You only have one life, Izzy. Why waste

it?” Jake asked as he nudged me.
“One Life.” I whispered.

“Where?” the man asked as he realized

that’s what I wanted.

“I want it on my index finger.” I

whispered, rubbing it.

He nodded and led me to the back room.

Char and Rose sat down in the chairs
beside the stool I was supposed to sit in.

He wiped my finger clean with alcohol

before writing the words on a piece of
paper.

One Life.

I smiled and nodded at the scribble on

the paper. He took the gun and started
tattooing my hand.
I closed my eyes and absorbed the small
pain. I was used to getting tattoos now. It
didn’t hurt as much.

“How about the club tonight?” Charlotte

asked suddenly.

I peeked one eye open to see she was

smiling widely.

Rose clapped her hands excitedly like

Alice.

I rolled my eyes, but couldn’t contain the

glee in my chest.

That’s exactly what I needed.

A girls’ night out.

No guys, well, maybe a few and no
worries.

I nodded vigorously as I tried to hold my

finger still.

When the man was done, Char offered I

got my bellybutton pierced.

After wrapping up my bandages, I

nodded and told the man to go ahead and
give me the damn piercing.

I lay down on the small bed table as the

man got out his utensils.

I lifted my shirt up as he put the piercing

gun on my navel.
I held Rose’s hand as the smooth needle
pierced my skin. I felt the numb pain and
the swipe of alcohol.

I smiled and stood up so I could look at

it. The diamond stud shined in the dim
lights.

I winked at my sexy reflection.

Char rolled her contacted eyes with Rose

as they came up behind me.

“Yeah, yeah, B is hot. Big whoop. We

need to go shopping.” Charlotte
reasoned.

I smirked and turned around to see my

ass.

And what a nice ass it was.

“Peter and Em were right. That is a nice
ass.” Rose grinned as she smacked it
playfully.

I grinned at her and rolled my eyes.

“Let’s go.”

After shopping for hours, we finally

arrived at my hotel. I checked in and
went to the top floor.

I put my stuff up and sighed when I got

in.

“Home sweet home.” I grinned.

Rose and Char followed behind me, but

they tensed when they sniffed the air.
“What? Oh, sorry! It probably smells
like dog in here—”

“B, shut up.” They both said in unison

“Ugh! Rude!” I scoffed.

“That’s a vampire’s scent.” Rose

growled. “And it’s not one of us.”

I felt fear drip into my core as well as

anger as I thought about someone daring
to touch me.

“Fuck that!” I yelled.

I grabbed their hands and led them back

downstairs.

I’ll come back for the things later.

“I’m moving in with you for awhile,
Char.” I growled as we made ourselves
outside.

Charlotte nodded as we headed to my

new home.

When we got home, Rose and Char

explained about the scents.

Jasper and Peter were furious, but Rose

argued saying we were going out.

We got dressed for the club and I put on

the red dress that Charlotte had picked
out for me.

I loved it.

We all walked down the stairs in short

dresses.
Jasper, Peter, and Em snapped their
heads up to us.

They all watched us with lustful eyes,

first Char, then Rose, then finally me.

Em covered his eyes and yelped.

“I can’t look at my Baby Bells like that.

She’s making me feel too good in all the
right places.”

Peter just grinned and turned to my

chest.

“I like it,” he turned to Jasper, “Major?”

I turned to Jasper too. He was still

watching me with his intense black
lustful eyes.
Then he pissed me off.

He turned away.

“Have fun at the club.” He muttered and

dashed upstairs.

I glared at the wall, where his head had

been not five seconds ago.

I finally growled and turned outside.

Char and Rose stayed quiet during the
car ride as I spat out the things about
Jasper.

When we got there, I was ready to just

have fun. I immediately got drunk.

“B, maybe we should go home.” Char

insisted.
“No, I need this. I am so fucking tired of
being told what to do.” I slurred at her.

Rose stayed silent and started playing

with her prop drink.

I took a sip of mine and met eyes with

blue ones. This is the exact type of guy I
would go for.

Tall, dark hair, and pretty eyes, not to

mention his body.

Perfect.

He walked over to me and smiled. He

leaned down to my ear, ignoring the icy
glares Rose and Char threw at him.
“Can I buy you a drink?” he whispered
into my ear.

I shivered and nodded.

“What’s your name?” he asked.

“Bella.” I answered over the loud music.

“You?”

“Derek.”

Derek bought me a shot of Jack Daniels

then offered me a dance.

I nodded again and we went to the dance

floor. I grinded my ass into him, getting
his erection up.

I turned to kiss him and his tongue darted

over the roof of my mouth.
We stood there kissing for awhile before
one of his friends asked me if I wanted a
body shot.

I agreed and lay down on the bar, lifting

my small dress, showing my lacy black
underwear.

They put a shot on my bellybutton,

covering the new piercing, and placed
gelatin in between my breasts. I had a
lemon waiting in my mouth.

His friends cheered him on as his warm

tongue lapped up the shot. His tongue
traveled over my dress and took the
gelatin in his mouth.
His mouth finally found mine and he
took the lemon in his with my mouth.
We started making out, frenzied.

I ran my hands through his hair, but was

wishing for it to be blonde.

I found myself wanting to feel a cool

tongue on mine and cold fingers running
up my thighs.

Suddenly, my wish came true.

I was picked up and thrown over a stone

shoulder.

I frowned as my dress fell over my legs

and the person started walking towards
the exit.
I immediately identified the golden
locks.

“Jasper! Let me go!” I growled as I

started to kick my legs.

He grabbed both my legs to stop my

assault on his hard chest and threw me
into the car.

“What the fuck is your problem?” I cried

as we rode back to the house.

As many words as I threw at him, Jasper

didn’t respond, he just kept his eyes on
the rode, refusing to meet mine.

When we did get to the house, my throat

was raw from yelling at him, even
though I was slowly getting sober and
able to access the situation.
Jasper got out of the car, studiously
ignoring me as he opened the door and
started up the stairs.

“Answer me you fucking vampire!” I

yelled at him as I followed.

He walked into his study room, books

aligning the bookcases.

He sat down on his leather couch and

opened one.

“How fucking dare you take me from the

club? What the fuck is wrong with
you?!” I rambled.

I sat across from him and yelled at him

again.
“What? Are you jealous? You know I
was having a real fucking good time with
that guy. He was a great kisser.” I
sneered at him.

Jasper tensed, but no sound escaped his

lips.

“I bet that’s it, isn’t it? You were fucking

jealous! Fuck you! I’m not your fucking
property. I can take care of myself and I
don’t need your cold ass to hover over
me all fucking day—”

Jasper sat up in one quick, fluid

movement and stared at me with black
eyes.

“Oh, you’re angry now? Well, just to let

you know, Cowboy, I’ve been mad all
fucking night—”
Cold lips stopped my yelling and I stared
into dark lustful eyes.

His lips were possessive and a little

angry with a twinge of love.

His lips moved with mine as the shock

wore off. His fingers trailed up to my
face and into my hair.

My arms locked around his neck to bring

him closer and I shivered with pleasure.

This was what I had been waiting for.

I needed this.

Jasper grabbed my thighs roughly to

bring them to his waist.
I wrapped them around him and started
to grind as our kiss became more
passionate.

His tongue was teasing mine and my

moans were getting louder by the
second.

His kiss was nothing like Edward’s.

Jasper’s were passionate and sexy.

I could hear the low purr in the back of

his throat.

I finally let my eyes close and placed my

hands on his chest to start unbuttoning
his shirt.

He grinded into me.

“Fuck!” I cried breathlessly.

Jasper just purred louder in response and
plunged his tongue into my mouth.

I finally got through his shirt and scraped

my nails on his granite skin.

“Bella,” he whispered against my lips

and parted from me.

I shook my head and tried to bring him

to me again, but he just shook his head at
me as well.

“W-what’s wrong?” I frowned.

He smirked as his eyes turned slowly

back to dark gold.

“Weren’t you yelling at me?” he asked,

chuckling.
I blushed red and smirked, looking
down.

“I’m sorry.” I whispered.

He chuckled again, grabbing my chin so

I could look at him.

“I think it’s cute when you get mad. It’s

like you’re an angry kitten.” He teased as
he placed his lips on my neck.

My breathing started to get erratic as his

tongue made cold circles on my throat.

“And I think it’s fucking hot when you

curse.” He replied as he licked up my
neck.
“Are you still angry at me?” he
whispered after awhile.

“That’s not fair. You’re cheating.” I

whined.

“So, I’m forgiven?” he asked as he

trailed his tongue down my throat again.

“Definitely.” I breathed as I grabbed his

face and captured his lips in mine.

“About damn time.” Rose said suddenly

from the door.

I couldn’t jump away this time since

Jasper’s arm was wrapped tightly around
my waist.
“Could you not interrupt me when I’m
trying to rape your brother?” I sighed in
mock annoyance.

Jasper laughed from beneath me, shaking

me in all the right places.

Peter suddenly busted into the room and

removed his shirt.

“I’m down with that. I call Puddin’ first.

I want to feel that tight pus—”

“Anyways,” Rose cut him off, “does this

mean you guys are together?”

I turned to Jasper with a small smile.

“If that’s what you want.” He whispered

as he pressed his lips under my ear.
I shivered and nodded vigorously.

He chuckled as he intertwined both my

hands with his.

He pressed his lips to mine and kissed

me softly.

“EEEEEWWWWW!!!” Peter blanched.

I turned to him and smiled.

Char appeared and danced around.

Rose and her squealed together.

“This is great!” Char squealed.

“I love it.” Rose replied.

“I don’t think two certain vampires will
like it.” Peter frowned.

“I don’t care what Edward thinks.” I

shrugged.

“And I don’t care what Alice thinks.” he

cupped my cheek to lean in and kiss me.

“AWW!” the girls squealed.

“EWW!” Peter blanched.

Soon they left and Jasper and I resumed

talking and kissing.

When things got too passionate, he

would try to stop me and calm me with
his emotions.

I fell asleep in his arms.

When I woke up, Jasper wasn’t there, but
I found a note.

Needed to hunt. I took Carlisle

and Esme with me. Be safe and
ignore Alice and Edward. Rose,
Emmett, and Peter will keep you
safe.

Love, Jasper.

I took a quick shower. I put on small

short with a white t shirt. I let half my
hair up and half down and went
downstairs.

Peter immediately shoved a plate of

bacon and eggs in my face.
“Good mornin’, Puddin’. I made this for
you. On the house. And if I must say,
you look absolutely ravishing.” He
grinned.

I rolled my eyes.

Char hit him in the back of the head.

“She’s a taken woman now.” She

commented.

“Where are Rose and Emmett?” I asked,

taking a bite of bacon.

“They got dragged to the mall with the

pixie to get begged for forgiveness.”
Peter rolled his red eyes.

I chuckled and sat down on the couch to

finish eating.
After I was done, Em came to say hi,
saying Rose and Alice were talking.

Unfortunately, he brought Edward along.

I ignored him and started to read a book.

Peter and Em started to play a game as

Char went upstairs to take a quick
shower.

I couldn’t continue reading when

Edward was watching me with his
piercing eyes.

I sighed and tried to read the lines of my

book when Edward walked over and sat
next to me.

I scooted away from him and kept my

eyes on the words.
Suddenly, the novel was snatched out of
my hands and into Edward’s.

“Hey! I was reading that!” I growled and

turned my head to glare at him.

“No, you weren’t. You were reading that

page for five minutes and I remember
how fast you used to read.” He replied as
he placed the book down.

“Fuck you. You don’t know shit about

me.” I spat at him and scooted even
farther away.

“I told you not to curse. It’s very un-lady

like.” Edward said.

I leaned into his ear.

“I beg to differ, Jasper thinks it’s a turn
on.” I purred.

Edward was shaking with anger as I

stood up.

I started away, but he grabbed my wrist.

Peter was in front of me in less than a

second, prying off Edward’s cold
fingers.

“I don’t think the Major would like you

touching Puddin’, Fuckward.” He
growled.

Edward stood up and hissed at him.

“She’s not property, Peter.”

“Never said she was.”

I got in between them and pushed their
chest away from each other’s.

“Edward, why don’t you just go?” I

grimaced up at him.

“I’m not leaving again, Bella. I love

you.” He replied.

I crossed my arms and scoffed.

“You don’t know what love is.” I

growled.

“Oh, and you think Jasper does? What’s

your relationship?” he asked.

“Like I’m telling you shit.” I snarled.

“Puddin’.” Peter warned as Edward
growled furiously at me.

“Keep your emotions in check. We don’t

want another fight.” Char retorted as she
appeared next to me.

“I would really love to beat your head in,

too.” Peter hissed.

Rose appeared in the doorway with Alice

trailed behind her sadly.

“Hello, pixie.” I called sweetly, wiggling

my fingers in mock friendliness.

She rolled her gold eyes and sneered at

me.

She finally summoned up enough

courage to come over and growl at me.
“You slut. You’re trying to take Jasper
away from me! I know it.” She hissed.

I rolled my eyes.

“It’s over between you and Jasper.” I

replied.

“Please! It will never be over. I have

given so much to him. He has to love
ME!” she shrieked.

“Crazy much?” Char muttered in my ear,

eyeing the shaking pixie.

I chuckled as Alice threw her a glare.

“Stay the fuck away from him, Bella!

You’re so lucky I can’t see you
anymore.” She hissed angrily.
I was confused.

“You can’t see me anymore?” I smirked.

“NO!” she roared.

I grinned.

“Well, that’s just awesome!” Char

exclaimed.

“I know, right?” I grinned again.

“UGH!!” Alice bellowed and zoomed

out of the house as Rose, Char, and I
burst in giggles.

Edward followed after her before

throwing me one more look.
After awhile, Char went out to get more
food for me while Emmett and Peter
played the game.

Rose and I started giving pedicures,

coloring my toenails red.

I felt familiar arms wrap around me and I

turned to see Jasper.

His eyes were back to the bright gold

color I loved and I smiled widely.

He grinned back.

“Hello, Darlin’.” He whispered in my

ear.

I shivered and turned to give him a peck

on the lips.
I turned back to the guys. I was met with
Emmett’s wide gaze.

“What’s going on…?” he frowned in

confusion.

“Um…” I frowned with him, trying to

explain.

“Bella and I…are together.” Jasper

replied.

Emmett was silent for a second then

grinned fully.

“Finally! I thought I would have to glue

you guys together.” He sighed in mock
annoyance.

I laughed and cuddled into Jasper’s

chest.
Char arrived and placed my food on my
lap. I started to dig into the ravioli,
thanking her.

“How was your day?” he whispered to

me as I ate.

“Um, Alice can’t see me in her visions

anymore.” I shrugged as I wiggled my
red toes.

“What?” his eyebrows knitted together.

“She said that I was no longer in her

visions.” I explained.

Peter turned to us then.

“I think it has something to do with

Puddin’s shield.” He said.
“What shield?” Jasper and I asked
together.

“You see, Edward could not read

Puddin’s mind. There are a lot of things
that she could block with mind tricks.
Obviously, Alice’s power has gotten able
to snuggle its way into your mind and
Puddin’ has become stronger so Alice’s
visions no longer affect Puddin’.” Peter
explained, grinning.

I nodded slowly.

It made sense. That must’ve been the

reason Edward couldn’t read my mind.

“How about we start practicing

tomorrow morning?” Peter asked.
“Nope. No good.” Jasper frowned,
shaking his head.

I turned to him.

“Why?”

“I’m taking you to go see something.”

He whispered in my ear.

I frowned in confusion, but he shook his

head at me.

“Take her in the afternoon. I’ll have her

in the morning. Is that alright, Puddin’?”
Peter turned to me.

“Of course, Peter. I would love to spend

the morning with you.” I replied
sarcastically, but smiled brightly.
He rolled his ruby eyes and turned to Em
who threw a controller at Jasper.

“C’mon, Jazz. Let go of Bells and come

and play some Halo.” He grinned at him.

Jasper frowned and shook his head as he

threw the controller back at him.

Peter kneeled down to Emmett and they

started whispering together until they
turned to us with shit-eating grins.

They started humming the song Can You

Feel the Love Tonight from The Lion
King.

I choked on my laughter as I watched

them.
“I can see what’s happening…” Peter
grumbled/sang.

“What?” Emmett asked stupidly.

“And they don’t have a clue.”

“Who?”

“They’ll fall in love and here’s the

bottom line. Our trios down to two.”
Peter held up to fingers, pretending to
pout.

“Oh.” Em looked down.

“The sweet caress of twilight.” Peter

sung in a mock French accent. “There’s
magic everywhere. And with all this
romantic atmosphere, disaster’s in the
air!” he sung deep and throaty.
Jasper and I were laughing silently.

Rose danced in like a ballerina as Peter

and Emmett started doing the low throaty
sounds in the background.

“Can you feel the love tonight? The

peace the evening brings. The world, for
once, in perfect harmony. With all its
living things…” she sang like an angel.

I lost my gut when Jasper started singing.

“So many things to tell her but how to

make her see the truth about my past?
Impossible! She'd turn away from me…”
Jasper sang sarcastically.

The song was prefect for us because his

past was what he was fretting about.
I knew it was my turn to sing. I took
Jasper’s hands in my own and started.

“He's holding back, he's hiding, but

what, I can't decide. Why won't he be the
Major I know he is the Major I see
inside?” I sang and I sounded pretty
good.

I smirked up at Jasper and he pressed his

lips to mine as the others sang.

Peter and Emmett made strange yelping

noises in different languages.

Rose and Char danced around like

ballerinas as they sang over the boys.

I parted my lips from Jasper’s and he

whimpered in response as he leaned his
forehead on mine. I let out a loud laugh
as I watched them.

“Can you feel the love tonight? The

peace the evening brings. The world, for
once, in perfect harmony. With all its
living things. Can you feel the love
tonight? You needn't look too far.
Stealing through the night's
uncertainties, love is where they are.”

The girls turned silent and bowed their

heads as the boys started to fake cry.

“And if he falls in love tonight. It can be

assumed.” Peter sang, dry sobbing.

“His carefree days with us are history.”

Em sang.
“In short, our pal was doomed!” they
sang before starting to fake sob.

Jasper laughed with me as Rose and

Char convulsed into giggles. Peter and
Em continued to dry sob.

I soon yawned and Jasper grabbed my

hand to lead me up the stairs. I waved
goodnight to the girls.

I changed into a white t shirt and some

boy shorts. I let my hair fall down my
shoulders in light curls as I sat down on
the bed with Jasper.

“You should get some sleep. You have a

big day tomorrow.” He whispered,
tucking a stray hair behind my ear.

I smirked.
“I think there more important things than
sleep.” I whispered, lacing my fingers
into his curls.

He purred and leaned into me.

I took my chance to capture his lips with

mine. He moaned at the contact and
grabbed my hips to pull me closer.

I wrapped my legs around him and

grinded my heat onto his becoming
erection. He growled this time and
bucked his hips to meet mine.

I latched my arms around his neck and

tangled his tongue with mine. His hands
started to travel up my shirt and
skimmed over my tattooed ribs.
His cold fingers finally found my breasts
and they peeked under his touch. I
arched my back into his hands. He
squeezed my erected tips as I moaned for
more.

“Jasper…”

I groaned as his lips left mine and

traveled down my throat, leaving a trail
of open mouthed kisses.

I grinded harder into him and the next

second, I was pinned to the bed with no
shirt.

I undid the buttons in his and pushed it

off his shoulders.

I glued my lips to his scars and traced

them with my tongue.
He moaned and connected his lips with
mine again, reaching between us so he
could rub my core. I cried out at the
sudden friction and breathed his name.

When I tried to stop his hand from my

sensitive nub, his other hand caught my
wrist and I stared into his dark, lustful
eyes.

He sent barrels of lust to me as he

ducked his curly head to lick up my
neck.

I was close to my orgasm, but I tried to

run it out. His fingers were inside me the
next second, cold friction reaching my
G-spot.
I thrashed against his fingers as he
played with my clit. One minute his
mouth was on my neck, then my boy
shorts were moved to the side and his
tongue was lapping me up.

I grabbed at my hair and tried to move

away from the sensation, but he held me
still with a firm hand.

“Jasper!” I hissed as I clenched my eyes

shut.

My climax was the best fucking shit I

had ever felt. Riley could not compare.

I sighed with relief as his tongue left my

core and tangled with mine again.
I tasted myself on his and it was a
fucking turn on. I was ready for another
go.

I started unbuckling his pants when his

hands stopped me.

“Whoa there, darlin’. I don’t want to

keep you up all night.” He grinned evilly
then leaned into my ear. “Because when
I start I never stop.”

His words sent shivers up my spine and I

fell back onto the pillows.

I didn’t remember falling asleep, but I

did.
“Puddin’?” a voice called from the foot
of the bed.

I groaned and switched to lie on my

back, the covers covering my body.

“Bella!” the voice yelled, scaring the shit

out of me.

“What?!” I growled as I sat up like a

lightening bolt.

Peter sat at the edge of the bed, grinning

at me brightly.

His red eyes slowly widened as they

lowered down to my chest, and darkened
slightly.

I followed his gaze and my eyes

widened, too, when I realized my chest
was exposed, my nipples hardened from
the cold air.

I let out a shriek of embarrassment and

grabbed the covers to throw over my
body.

“Motherfucker! What the hell, Peter?!” I

screamed.

Peter shook his head out of his daze and

averted his eyes.

“My bad, Puddin’. Rose told me to wake

you. It’s already twelve.” He muttered.

Suddenly, Jasper busted into the room

and growled at Peter.

Peter held up his hands to defend himself

as I clutched at the bedspread.
Peter turned me and eyed me with lustful
rubies.

“Get them out of your head, Peter.” I

snapped at him.

“Um, well, I’m a vampire and I have a

photographic memory, so…” he trailed
off.

Jasper darted over to me and glared at

Peter.

“Can you stop with the lust?” he hissed.

“Sorry, Puddin’s tits are just…” he

trailed off suggestively.

“UGH! Peter! You motherfucker!” I

shrieked and ran into the bathroom.
I took a hot shower to calm myself and
brushed my teeth. I did my makeup.

I put my hair in a ponytail and walked to

my closet that was attached to my
bathroom.

Since the sun was shining, I put on a

camisole that was blue with a green
pattern going over the chest and showed
my bellybutton piercing. I put on small
shorts after that and walked to my room.

Peter was gone, but Jasper and breakfast

was on my bed. I sighed happily and
skipped over to him, pecking his lips
before digging in.

He chuckled at my eagerness for food

and watched me as I ate.
When I was almost done, Jasper took off
his shirt. I frowned up at him, but was
immediately turned on when he sent
waves of lust at me.

I jumped on top of him and started to

grind my hips into his. He purred and
pressed his lips to mine.

I wrapped my arms around his neck,

grabbing at his curls. He purred into my
mouth as I scraped my nails over his
scalp.

He grabbed my thighs roughly and

bucked his hips forward, almost entering
me through my jean shorts.
I gasped then let out a breathy moan as
he thrust forward again. I groaned and
rocked my hips to meet his erection.

“Hey, Whitlock! Get your hands off my

baby sister’s ass!” Emmett yelled in
mock outrage as he ripped Jasper from
under me.

I growled in frustration.

I wanted him NOW!

“Since when do you care about his hands

on my ass?” I grounded out.

“I’ve cared about whose hands on your

ass since I first saw it. I care for your ass,
and as long as I’m here, Jasper isn’t
getting any.” He teased.
Jasper rolled his golden eyes at my
overprotective brother.

I heard my cell phone ring so I reached

for it, pressing the cool metal to my ear.

“What?” I growled.

“Well, good morning to you, too.” Jacob

chuckled into my ear.

I sighed and smiled slightly.

“Sorry, Jake, Emmett just interrupted

me.”

“Wait. You’re still with Jasper, Izzy?” he

complained.

I sighed.
Here we go again.

“Yes, Jacob. We’re together, now where

is Brenda?” I asked impatiently.

“Right here!” Brenda squealed as she

was handed the phone.

“You should come over sometime. Char

and Rose really want to meet you.” I
grinned.

“Sure. I would love to!”

“I wouldn’t!” Jake argued in the

background.

“Fuck you! I’m going.” Brenda said

back.

“No, you’re not.”

“I’m not having this conversation.” I
heard footsteps and Brenda’s voice faded
away.

“Brenda, wait!” Jacob pleaded as he

followed her and I heard a door slam.

I chuckled and hung up the phone,

turning back to Jasper, except it wasn’t
him, it was fucking Peter.

I jumped and slammed my hand over my

heart.

“Damn, Peter. What do you want?” I

asked.

“Time to train!” he cheered, grabbing my

hand and pulling me onto his back.
We were outside in less than a second.

I sighed and jumped off, taking my

ponytail out, letting my hair fall down in
waves down my shoulder.

Peter placed his cold hands on my

shoulders.

“Okay, now, I need you to close your

eyes.” He ordered.

I closed them.

“Okay, now, I need you to focus. Try to

think that your brain is a weapon. You
can think outside of it.”

I was confused, but focused on my brain.

I don’t know how long I stood there
before the sun started setting.
I pushed harder, eager to get to Jasper.

“AGH!!” I heard Peter exclaim as his

hands left my shoulders.

I opened my eyes slowly to see I was

surrounded by a purple globe.

It engulfed my body then instantly

snapped to my skin, disappearing, but I
could still feel it buzzing against me.

I looked up then, searching for Peter.

Suddenly, he was in front of me with a

big grin and leaves in his hair.

“Holy shit! Did you know you just threw

me across the woods?” he grinned,
grabbing my shoulders again.
I brought a hand up to cover my mouth
in shock.

“Holy fucker! I did it!” I cheered and

started clapping my hands.

My shield buzzed against my skin and

Peter was thrown again, hitting a bush.

“HOLY SHIT!” Emmett, Char, Rose,

and Jasper all exclaimed as they stepped
out of the house.

“Language!” Esme scolded with behind

Carlisle her, following the group.

I ignored them and ran towards Peter

who was wedged into the bushes.
“Peter! Are you okay?” I called
worriedly.

He didn’t answer so I reached for him,

but he stopped me with his hand.

“Don’t. Touch. Anything.” He whispered

as he groaned with pain.

I nodded and backed away. He stood up

and reattached something to his wrist.

I choked on my spit when I saw it was

his hand.

“Remind me never to get you upset,

Puddin’.” He grinned, fixing his hand.

I gaped at his hand he fixed and sighed

with relief when I saw he was fine.
I enveloped him in my arms and he flew
back again.

“OW! God damn it, Puddin’!” he hissed

as he hit a tree.

I gasped and held up my hands in

defense.

“Put your shield down!” he growled.

“How?” I frowned.

“Just relax and call off your brain.” He

explained as he stretched.

“Fine.” I grumbled.

I took a deep breath and my shield was

gone.
“That’s so cool!” Char and Rose
squealed.

Jasper showed up behind me and smiled

brightly.

“Are we going to go?” I asked hopefully.

“I rescheduled until tomorrow at five.”

He whispered as he wrapped his arms
around me.

Peter growled in frustration when he

didn’t see Jasper being thrown back.

I smirked.

We all walked over to the girls and

Carlisle and Esme. She grinned brightly
at me and hugged me to her stone chest.
“I made cookies!” she sang.

“Great! I just know your better than

Jasper.”

I grinned at him as he rolled his eyes,

murmuring something about the mixer.

I giggled and led him inside.

After eating the cookies, I invited Brenda

over. She brought bottles of liquor and
grinned widely.

Char and she immediately hit it off, but

Rose stayed attached to my hip.

I eyed the bottles of liquor with hungry

eyes.

Time to party!
Jasper

Carlisle left with Esme after twenty

minutes.

Brenda left after and an hour,

complaining about Jacob stalking her.

We waved them goodbye and I turned to

watch Bella.

“Damn…” Em and Peter watched her

with lustful eyes.

I could feel in her emotions that she was

a little tipsy as she took another gulp of
the bottle.

She had it tightly in her hand, dancing to

the music Emmett had turned on.
Her hips moving slowly and teasingly as
she rubbed her hands all over her,
closing her eyes in content.

Her hair was dark against her skin, her

creamy stomach showing her bellybutton
stud that flashed in the light.

Her red lips wrapped themselves around

the bottle again.

I was fucking turned on as she shook her

ass from side to side.

“Ugh, she’s a fucking tease.” Peter

sighed and leaned back, watching her.

Char smacked him in the head.

“Your wife is right here!” she yelled.

“Yeah, but look at Puddin’. Don’t tell me
you wouldn’t tap that Char.” Peter
complained, looking back at Bella.

Everyone was silent for a second,

watching Char and Bella.

“Oh, fine.” Char sighed and stood up,

sauntering over to Bella.

She took Bella’s face in her hands and

pressed her lips to hers.

Bella immediately wrapped her arms

around Char’s neck as we all watched
with dropped jaws.

“Hot.” Emmett grinned.

Rose smacked him in the head.

“Ow, woman!” he cried.

We all turned our eyes back to Char and

Bella who had moved to the couch and
were still making out heavily.

Char fell on top of Bella and started to

grind into her.

“Oh my God! Jasper ease up with

horniness!” Peter hissed, grabbing his
crotch.

I sighed and stopped. Bella and Char

stopped making out and giggled loudly.

I sighed with relief.

Bella started dancing with the girls and

soon fell asleep on the couch.
I picked her up in my arms and she was
suddenly awake.

She smiled brightly at me and

repositioned herself in my arms, her
emotions going haywire.

She wrapped her long legs around my

waist and started to grind into me by he
beat of the rock music that just switched
on.

She kissed me long and hard as she

wrapped her arms around my neck.

Em and Peter whistled behind me and I

felt Char let out a little jealously.

I backed away from Bella’s kiss and

smiled gently down at her.
“I think you should get some sleep,
darlin’.” I whispered to her.

She nodded eagerly and I dashed up the

stairs, ignoring everyone’s laughter

She immediately fell onto the bed and

held my hand as she fell asleep.

I lay next to her and traced her hand.

I had yet to tell her I loved her. She

seemed not to care, but when I tried to
tell her I always bit my tongue.

I will tell her soon. I promise that.

I continued to play with her hand until

the sun started to rise.
Peter popped his brown head into the
room and grinned.

“What, Peter?” I asked, whispering.

“Time for Puddin’s training. Then we

need to meet with the family.” He rolled
his eyes. “Then after that you can take
her to the place you wanted.”

I grinned.

I shook the beautiful girl next to me.

“Bella…wake u—”

She suddenly flew up in the bed and I

was thrown across the room by her
shield.
Peter burst into a roar of laughter as he
fell to the ground.

I sighed and stood up.

“Oops! I am so sorry, Jasper!” Bella

hurried to my side and I was thrown into
Charlotte who was just entering the
room.

“Let down your damn shield, B!” Char

growled as she pushed me off her.

Bella took a deep breath and the clear

light fell from her skin.

She rushed over to me and wrapped her

arms tightly around me.

“Sorry,” she whispered into the crook of

my neck.
Suddenly, she was lifted into the air by
Peter. I could smell her horrid breakfast
downstairs.

I walked downstairs with Char as Bella

ate.

Rose brushed her hair up into a ponytail

after then carried her upstairs to take a
shower.

Bella soon came downstairs with her red

lipstick on her full lips that I loved.

She had her hair curled around her

shoulders and a red tank top. Skinny
jeans wrapped around her legs and black
Eskimo boots completed her look.

I kissed her lips and we walked outside.

Emmett and Rose sat down as we
watched Bella practice with Peter and
Char.

I grinned as my girl threw Peter and

Charlotte over and over into the woods.

After practice, Bella ran over to greet me

and I wrapped my arms tightly around
her body.

She had learned how to keep it around

her body without hurting others unless
she wanted to.

“You were terrific.” I encouraged as I let

her go.

She smiled brightly at me.

Peter and Charlotte grumbled to
themselves as they picked leaves out of
their hair.

Emmett’s phone rang and he pressed it to

her ear.

“Hello?” he greeted.

“We need to start the meeting,” Alice’s

voice said into the phone.

“Fine.” He grumbled and hung up,

tucking his phone in his pocket.

I put Bella on my back and we took off

to the other house.

Bella was cursing as we walked into the

big house.
Carlisle and Esme greeted us as Alice
stared blankly into space. Edward
watched the TV with piercing eyes.

“More killings in Okalahoma and New

Mexico.” He said as he turned off the TV
and turned to us, keeping his eyes on
Bella.

I tried not to let jealously grow over me

as Bella squeezed my hand.

We all sat down.

Bella next to me and Char at her feet.

Peter sat next to me as Emmett and Rose
sat on the other couch.

“What’s going on?” Bella questioned.

“None of your business,” Alice snapped,
whipping her head to Bella.

“Okay, Alice. I obviously didn’t let you

know what I thought about you at the
house so let me enlighten you,” Bella
said, “You fucked my ex and cheated on
your husband! And by doing that you
showed me what a ugly piece of shit that
you really are so stay the fuck out of my
face because our friendship is DONE!”
she yelled, glaring at Alice.

She was stunned by her speech and

looked away.

Emmett and Peter chuckled.

“Bella,” Edward started as he stood up

and walked towards her.
Before I could growl, Bella flashed her
eyes up to his and Edward was thrown
back by her shield. He went through a
wall and grumbled out in pain.

Everyone, but Em, Rose, Char, Peter,

and I, looked at her shocked.

“What the fuck was that?” Alice shouted.

Esme frowned at her and hurried to help

Edward. He stumbled out of the wall and
stared at Bella in shock.

She crossed her arms.

“I don’t want you touching me.” She

stated simply.

“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred

turned, nor hell a fury like a woman
scorned.” Peter’s cryptic voice said into
the room.

“Dude, that’s some deep shit.” Em

grinned.

“Emmett!” Esme scolded.

“Sorry,” he muttered.

“Pussy.” Peter teased.

“Peter!” Esme yelled.

“Sorry,” He apologized.

I chuckled under my breath.

“So…why am I here?” Bella asked.

“We think someone is creating an army.”
Carlisle responded, turning to her.

“Wait, an army of vampires?” she

frowned in confusion.

“Fucking great.” Rose sighed.

“We should call Jacob. He could help.”

Bella said as she took out her phone.

“The dog?” Alice hissed.

“The only bitch here is you.” Bella

retorted.

Char let out a laugh with Rose.

“We don’t need the werewolves yet.”

Alice said.
“We do need help,” I growled at her.

“I’ve seen it. I’ve seen Victoria.” She

said.

Everyone in the room gasped.

“Oh, it’s not that dramatic.” Bella waved

her hand at us in annoyance.

Emmett chuckled.

“She’s been after me for years. She

killed my parents.” She said in disgust.

I rubbed my finger over her hand.

Edward growled.

I turned to him and glared.

“Oh, don’t start that shit.” Bella sighed.

“When is she coming?” I asked.

“In a week, maybe less. She’s checking

on something. I don’t really know, but
we need everyone there.” Alice
explained.

“I need to go,” Bella grabbed my arm.

“No, you stay here.” I insisted.

“We’ll stay with you.” Rose and Char

said together.

Peter nodded in agreement.

“Good, then it’s settled.” Edward replied.

“Great!” Alice beamed and raced
upstairs.

“What the fuck is wrong with her?”

Bella asked.

Emmett and Peter burst into a roar of

laughter as Rose and Char giggled.

I chuckled and held Bella closer to me.

She turned to kiss me, but Edward cut us

off with a sharp growl.

“I fucking knew it! That’s why you’ve all

been blocking me!” Edward roared as he
stood up.

Esme looked down, ashamed as

everyone else stayed silent.
Bella raised her hand and looked around.

“I wasn’t hiding shit,” She stated. “I just

didn’t feel like telling you.”

Everyone laughed again.

“You’re with JASPER!?” he bellowed.

She stood up.

“And what’s wrong with JASPER?!” she

yelled at him.

“He’s murdered thousands! He’s had sex

with hundreds of women for blood! He
followed Maria for decades and killed
vampires!” Edward screamed.

“Fuck you! You’re not exactly a saint!”

she argued.
“Shut up!” Rose yelled.

Everyone turned to her.

“There are vampires coming and we

need to keep Bella safe. We do not need
this drama, at least not right now.” Rose
ordered, keeping her voice strong.

Bella glared daggers at Edward then

settled down next to me.

After they glared at each other for

awhile, Bella finally turned around and
locked her lips with mine.

I grabbed her hips and she turned her

body fully so she was straddling my
waist.
Edward growled as I swept my tongue
over her bottom lip. I pulled her into my
erection and she grinded into me.

Suddenly, she was out of my arms and

Emmett was holding her tightly to his
chest.

“Hands to yourself, Whitlock!” he

warned in protective mode.

I groaned and tried my best to make my

pants more comfortable.

Rose chuckled.

Later that day, I got into the car with

Bella. She got comfortable in her seat.
“Where are we going?” she whined for
the third time as I sped down the
highway.

“I’m not telling, darlin’.” I turned to

flash her a grin.

She sighed, but I could feel her

nervousness spike.

I grabbed her hand and ran my thumb

over her palm.

She sighed, content, and didn’t speak for

the rest of the ride.

When we finally stopped, I grabbed her

hand and led her out of the car.
She watched with curiosity as we
stopped in front of boat. It wasn’t big,
but it wasn’t small.

I led her onto the large boat and smiled

kindly at Jeff, the captain of the ship.

He nodded as I sat down next to Bella in

the seat next to the front of the boat.
Then we were off.

“I can’t believe this!” she whispered,

smiling brightly.

“Believe it, babe.” I sighed and sat back.

She laid her head on my shoulder and

smiled wider, watching the waves.

“I wish it was this relaxing everyday.”

She whispered to me.
“Me, too.”

I was about to say the most three

important words when Bella jumped up
and squealed.

“Look at the dolphins, Jasper!” She

grinned.

I smirked and turned to look out in the

water. And sure enough, dolphins were
swimming right next to the boat.

I decided to humor her and walked to the

front of the boat and got onto the rails.

“I’M THE KING OF THE WORLD!!” I

roared, grinning as the wind whipped
through my waves.
She rolled her brown eyes and smirked.

“Very original,” she commented

sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes at her and smirked back

as we stopped at the docks.

Bella jumped up and followed me down

the stairs. We walked down onto the
dock and I threw a ‘thank you’ behind
my shoulder at Jeff.

“So, where are we going?” she asked as

we strolled off of the dock.

I crouched down and Bella watched me

with silent curiosity.

“Get on my back, darlin’.” I grinned.

She smirked and jumped on. I cupped
her thighs and her warm body pressed
against mine.

I sighed in content then I took off.

Bella

The wind whipped my hair against my

face and made my mouth dry.

I buried my face into Jasper neck and

breathed in his spicy scent.

I actually heard him chuckle at my

expense and I raised my hand in front of
his face to flip him off.

He roared with laughter as we came to a

complete stop. I jumped off of his back
and put my hands on my hips as he
laughed.

I growled and he finally snapped back to

focus.

“Sorry, darlin’, I just wanted to show

you something.” He grinned.

“What is it?” I growled, impatient.

He grabbed my shoulders and whirled

me around to see a cabin.

It was beautiful.
“Jasper, it’s beautiful.” I whispered as he
led me up the stairs.

We walked in; it smelled of spaghetti

and garlic. Jasper’s face shriveled in
disgust and I smirked at him.

I pressed my lips softly to his and he

immediately responded. I backed away
and shook my head.
“Nope, Mr. Whitlock, why are we here?”
I asked.

“I wanted this to be special.” He

whispered.

“What?” I questioned.

Suddenly, he was right in front of me

and staring down at me with golden eyes.

My breath was taken away.

“I…I love you, Bella.” He whispered.

My breath, once again, got caught into

my throat.

“I-I love you, too, Jasper.” I responded.

He smirked down at me and I wrapped
my arms around his neck as he ducked
down to give me a kiss on the lips.

I pressed my tongue to his as his hands

ran up to my hair. He knotted his fingers
into them.

We were onto the couch in only a few

seconds, tangled limbs and grinding.

Soon, my stomach grumbled and Jasper

snarled into my mouth in annoyance.

I giggled and suddenly I was in front of

the table with a plate of spaghetti in my
face.

Jasper was at the other end of the table,

glaring at my food.
“You eat, I’ll talk.” He offered.

I nodded and dug my fork into the

noodles.

“I talked with Alice,” I scowled at that,

“and she said there were newborns.
Victoria has been having help. And not
just any help. I know the strategies. It’s
Maria…”

He was cut off by me standing.

“The bitch is BACK?!” I shrieked as my

shield vibrated with anger.

“Bella, calm down and let me finish.” He

reasoned.
I sat down slowly and Jasper watched me
with cautious eyes as he motioned to my
food.

I stabbed my fork into it and started

slurping again.

“So, they have obviously joined forces

and made newborns. Not many, maybe
fifteen, but we need the wolves help. So
Esme, Carlisle, and Emmett traveled to
Forks to talk to the wolves while Peter
and Char are talking with Jacob. Jacob
has agreed and Brenda will be going to
Forks to stay with Embry.

“We are going to train with the wolves

tomorrow and I will show how to kill a
newborn. Sam, Paul, Leah, and Seth will
be coming. We came up with a plan to
lure the newborns away from you and
directly to the wolves. We’ll need your
scent though. I want you to stay safe.”

I reached across the small table and took

his hand.

“I promise I’ll keep my shield up all the

time, Cowboy.” I smirked.

His eyes darkened with lust and he

smiled widely, showing off his ultra
white teeth.

“I hope not all the time.” He said

seductively.

I frowned at him in confusion and then

he was gone.

I looked around, searching for my loved

one.
Suddenly, I felt cold fingers trail up my
thighs. I froze up instantly when my
panties were lowered and lips were on
my inner thigh.

Jasper spread my legs and lowered his

mouth to my core. I cried out at the
friction of his tongue lapping me up and
I was lifted into the air.

He looked up at me with dark eyes as he

continued to lick, suck, and nip at my
nub.

One of his hands reached up to lift my

shirt and fondle one of my nipples.

I moaned and threw my head back in

lust.
I brought his wandering mouth up to
mine so I could taste myself on him. It
was a real fucking turn on.

“Fuck!” I gasped and grinded my core

into his erection.

He growled into my mouth and I lowered

his pants.

His tip ran against my core and I

moaned.

“Make love to me, Jasper.” I whispered

to him.

He growled again and lifted me up by the

thighs, placing me onto the counter.

He looked into my eyes for permission

and I nodded, looking eyes with his.
He suddenly fastened his mouth onto my
nipple and entered me in one quick
movement.

I gasped at the small pain and I wrapped

my arms around his neck. He lifted me
up by my naked ass and pounded inside
of me at a slow pace, giving me time to
adjust to his big size.

“Jasper, more.” I pleaded into his granite

skin and sucked his earlobe into my
mouth.

His hand found mine and we interlaced

our fingers together.

He continued to thrust into me, my

sweaty body clamping to his hard one.
One finally thrust, and I was screaming
Jasper’s name in ecstasy.

H grunted and shivered under me as I felt

his cool liquid enter me.

I slumped against his body, our hands

still joined. I kissed him on the lips and
he smirked.

“I sweat a lot.” I grumbled into his chest.

He grinned fully and squeezed my hand.

“Bella?” he called.

“Yeah?” I mumbled.

“I love you.” He whispered then

wrapped his arms around my body.
“I love you, too, Cowboy.” I smirked up
at him.

“We should get going.” He whispered,

kissing my forehead.

I nodded and he slid out of me. I

immediately felt empty as he gave me
my panties and pants.

I put them both on with my bra when I

didn’t see my shirt.

“Where’s my shirt?” I asked, hands on

hips.

“Um…” he held up a ripped up piece of

material.

I sighed.
“It’s okay, I have some extra shirts
upstairs.” He shrugged.

He was gone for a second then a blue

button down shirt was in front of me. I
buttoned up the buttons and rolled up the
sleeves.

Jasper grinned and led me outside. We

were walking for awhile, until Jasper
suddenly froze and his hand gripped
mine too tightly.

“Ow, Jasper.” I whimpered.

He let my hand go entirely and stood into

a crouch.

He growled in anger and his dark eyes

darted around the forest.
I wrapped my shield around both of us.

“What is it, Jasper?” I whispered into the

silent night.

“I thought it was something else. He

obviously has a power to protect his
scent.”

I shivered with fear.

It was only Jasper. What if he got hurt?

His eyes finally settled on one space and

I met eyes with bright ruby eyes, except
it wasn’t Peter or Char’s warm eyes, they
were cold and evil.

I flinched back from the intensity of the

stare and a slow, easy smile encased on
the vampire’s face.
I knew that smile!

It was like he could read my mind and he

flashed me another grin. His dirty blonde
hair moving with the silent breeze.

“So nice to see you again, Isabella.” He

greeted, locking his eyes with mine, and
that hot British accent in his smooth
voice.

He was the only one who called me

Isabella.

“Riley…” I whispered, my voice lost in

the tension.

“Who the hell are you and what do you

want?” Jasper snarled.
Riley didn’t answer, he just kept his eyes
locked with mine, taking in every part of
my body.

“I see you move on fast, Isabella.” He

grinned again, eyeing Jasper now.

“Riley, what happened…?” I questioned,

staring at his new body.

He opened in his arms as if an invitation,

gesturing to his strong limbs.

“Maria,” he replied, shrugging.

I covered my opened mouth with my

hand in horror.

I tried to step closer to him, but Jasper

hissed and held me back.
“Okay, Riley, what the hell do you
want?” Jasper growled.

He didn’t answer, once again, just locked

his red eyes with mine.

He silently raised his arm and pointed at

me with another grin.

He spoke one word.

“Her,” he whispered into the cool night.

A shiver ran up my spine and my knees

buckled as tears collected into my eyes.

“You can’t have her.” Jasper sneered.

I stared into the cold, red eyes, and then,

he was gone.
Fear consumed me and Jasper turned to
me, taking my shivering form in.

“You okay?” he whispered, taking my

hand again.

I couldn’t answer.

My knees gave out and I fell to the dirty

ground. My body convulsed with shivers
and a strangled sound came from my
lips.

“Bella!” Jasper exclaimed, holding me.

“He wants me…” I whispered before I

fell to the dirt road and closed my eyes to
escape the pain.
“Carlisle, she isn’t waking up!” I heard
Jasper’s smooth voice yell.

“Calm down, Jasper. She’s going to be

fine.” Rosalie reasoned, and then I felt
her hand grab mine.

“Puddin’s strong, don’t worry.” Peter

said.

“He’s right; I can hear her heartbeats

picking up.” Char complied.

I heard Jasper quick and nervous breaths.

“This is your entire fault.” Edward

growled.

I heard a chair scrape across the floor

and heavy footsteps.
“Just because she isn’t turned doesn’t
mean I can’t kill you, you fucking
leech!” Jacob’s voice rang through the
house.

“Jacob, calm down. Sorry, Fuckward,

he’s just pissed because Brenda isn’t
here.” Char sighed in annoyance.

Suddenly, my thoughts caught up with

me and my eyes snapped open.

I sat up in one quick movement and I

wrapped my shield around me.

“Riley!” I cried, shaking.

Everyone was silent and stared at me

with wide eyes.
“What the fuck is a Riley?” Peter broke
the silence.

Emmett let out a loud laugh.

“Bella…?” Rose called from beside me,

squeezing my right hand.

I whirled my head to look at her. Char

and her were looking at me with worried
expressions.

“You okay, B?” Char asked.

I took a deep breath to calm myself.

“I’m fine.”

As soon as those words were out of my

mouth, Jasper’s lips were on mine.
He parted from me and leaned his
forehead against mines.

“Never do that again, Bella.” He

whispered, his sweet breath sweeping
away my senses.

I nodded and pecked his lips.

“I will ask again, what the fuck is a

Riley?” Peter questioned again.

We ignored him as Carlisle walked in

front of me and shined a small flashlight
into my eyes.

“How’s your vision, Bella?” he asked in

a polite voice.
“It was fine until you did that.” I
growled, snatching the flashlight away
and striking him on the head with it.

He chuckled, but I was shocked by my

actions.

“Sorry!” I whispered.

“Its fine, it’s just the medication that’s

making you do that.” Carlisle shrugged
standing and taking the flashlight away.

“Thanks, Carlisle.” Jasper smiled gently.

“Your very welcome.” He responded.

“I will repeat one more time! What the

fuck is a Riley!?” Peter yelled.
Everyone turned to him then to me. I
sighed.

“He’s my ex…” I muttered under my

breath.

“What was that?” Peter was suddenly in

front of me, eyeing my face.

“He’s my EX!” I yelled, and then I

clamped my hand over my mouth.

Everyone looked at me with shocked

eyes, but all I was focused on was
Jasper’s.

He stood in one graceful movement.

“That’s how you know him?” he

growled.
“Hey! I was lonely and when you are
attracted to someone you try to get to
know them.” I retorted, crossing my
arms.

“He went missing and I tried to find

him.” I whispered, “He was my rock…
besides Jake.” I shrugged.

Jacob grinned his sunny grin from the

couch.

“So…what do we do?” Esme asked.

They all turned their eyes to Alice as she

look blankly into space.

“I can’t really see anything anymore.”

She said, turning to give Jake a glare.
We heard a low whistle outside and I
turned to see Seth.

“Izzy, hey! You’re awake.” He crowed,

grinning.

Jake stood up and crossed the room in

three long strides.

“Is the pack ready?” he asked.

“Uh, yeah. Sam said we need to get this

over with.” He motioned to the door.

Jasper grabbed my hand and I wrapped

my shield around him.

Jasper
The wolves were lined up, all in one. We
all turned to them and I tried my best to
not shrivel up my face at the smell.

“Edward will translate.” Carlisle

motioned to him.

Edward stood to the side with Alice.

Jacob and Seth went to the bushes to

remove clothing and came back as
wolves.

“Shall we start?” Esme asked.

Edward turned to Sam who moved his

giant head.

“As you must’ve heard, newborns are

coming and we know what they want.
Bella,” The wolves growled lowly at
that, “We need Jacob to cover up her
scent through the woods. We will make a
test by you carrying her three miles east.
Is that okay, Bella?”

“It’s fine.” She shrugged.

“Jasper can take it from here.” Carlisle

said, motioning to me.

I let go of Bella’s hand and she frowned

from the lost, but kept her shield tightly
around her.

“Newborns are very strong. They are

three times stronger than us, even you.
Advice: don’t do anything stupid and
don’t aim for the easy target.” I spoke in
a civil voice, watching the wolves.
“I will use Emmett as an example. Since
he uses his strength and not really his
head.” I shrugged.

Emmett growled and stepped away from

Rose, crouching.

“Don’t hold back.” I teased.

“Not in my nature.” Emmett grinned

then charged at me.

Just as I suspected.

He pushed me back with all his strength

and growled in outrage.

I was suddenly thrown into the air and I

heard Bella let out a gasp.
I immediately bounced up and charged at
Emmett. I threw him back, but he
grabbed my shoulders to throw a punch.

I ducked under his fist and threw back

my fist to slam him in the chest. He fell
to the ground and groaned in pain.

“Never loose focus.” I smirked down at

him.

“Show off.” He grumbled.

I let out a chuckle.

Rose approached next and smirked at

me.

She threw a punch and I dodged it,

smirking at her. She threw another which
I dodged again.
She tried to sweep me, but I flipped back
and grabbed her foot. She growled and
tried to free herself by spinning, but I
pinned her down and lowered my teeth
to her neck.

“Ugh!” she huffed.

Alice stepped forward next, eager to

fight me.

Bella scowled.

She stepped forward and I threw a punch

at her, happy to hit her small frame. She
zoomed to the other side. I growled and
tried again only with the same actions.

She danced away again, but I grabbed

her small shoulders. She looked up at me
with big golden eyes before she twirled
around onto my back and wrapped her
legs around my waist.

I hissed as she lowered her lips to my

neck.

Suddenly, she was thrown back into the

woods and Bella stepped forward with a
smirk.

“She was way too close.” She shrugged,

taking my hand.

Rose and Char laughed with Peter and

Emmett. Even Esme let out a giggle.

Alice stormed out of the trees.

“How fucking dare you!?” she shrieked.

Bella stepped forward, not backing
down.

“How fucking dare I? Fuck you, you

annoying pixie! You try again and again
to steal Jasper away from me, but you
can’t!” she jabbed a finger into Alice’s
chest.

“Jasper’s mine and he will always be.

Get over it.” Alice growled.

“Doesn’t Jasper get a say in this?”

Emmett asked as the girls argued.

“NO!” Char and Rose answered at the

same time.

Suddenly, Bella pushed her shield out

and threw Alice into the woods again.
Alice charged back and they tumbled to
the ground.

There should’ve been a crack of bone,

but Bella kept her shield tightly around
her, pushing Alice off of her and into
Edward.

They both fell to the ground and Bella

stood up to dust off her clothes.

I chuckled and circled my arms around

her waist.

“The wolves said they’re going to go

practice then retreat back to the hotel.
We will call you when we need you.”
Carlisle promised.

They nodded their heads and took off.

Jacob came over to lick Bella’s face.
Bella punched Jacob and shrieked,
jumping into my arms.

Jacob let out a long laugh and rolled on

the floor. I laughed with him.

“I’m telling Brenda!” she threatened.

He just laughed harder.

We retired for the evening and I sat

down by the lake.

Bella joined and smiled gently at me,

interlacing our hands.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“I was just wondering…” I trailed off
and traced her ring finger with my index
one.

“Yeah?” she prompted.

“If you would ever turn into a vampire.”

I shrugged as if to be casual with it.

She stiffened then turned to me with

wide eyes.

“You mean you want to spend forever

with me?” she asked quietly.

“Yeah.” I nodded, squeezing her hand.

“And I was wondering—”

“Stop wondering and spit it out.” She

joked.
“Okay, fine. I want you to marry me.” I
whispered.

She stiffened again then stared at me.

“I would become Mrs. Whitlock?” she

asked as I traced her ring finger again.

“Of course.” I replied.

“A house?” she questioned with a smirk.

I nodded.

“Kids?” she asked.

“Well, you could never have children,

but we could adopt a son.” I inquired.

“I’ve always wanted a boy.” She said in

wonder.
I smiled.

“Me, too.”

“Where’s my ring?” she asked with

amusement seeping from her.

“I have one from my mom. She gave it to

me right before I went to war.” I retorted.

“He went to Jared!” she laughed.

I chuckled.

“Not really.”

She took my face between her hands and

made me look at her.
“I would love to be Mrs. Whitlock.” She
whispered, locking eyes with mine.

I grinned and grabbed her hand again to

kiss every single finger, before kissing
her ring finger last.

“I can’t wait.”

The week went by quickly and Riley’s

scent never returned. Alice’s visions kept
getting worst so you could barely see
anything.

We trained everyday with the wolves and

we made sure Jacob carried Bell through
the woods, covering her scent. Edward
was not very happy with it.
Flashback

“So…where do I take her?” Jacob

asked, glancing at Edward.

“We need you to run her up the path and

over the river.” I answered.

He nodded and scooped Bella up.

“I don’t like this.” Edward hissed.

I rolled my eyes and turned to him.

“No one will want to stick their nose into

his…odor.” I smirked.

Jacob rolled his eyes then lopped off.

“How can you be okay with this?”
Edward asked me as they disappeared
into the woods.

“Jacob has an imprint. Bella has a

shield and can take care of herself. I’m
sure she is fine.”

Flashback over

Bella cuddled into my chest as we

lounged on the couch. Peter played with
her toes, causing her to giggle and
interrupt her sleep which made Char slap
him in the head.

Emmett and Rose leaned on each other

while Emmett made stupid jokes.
Edward and Alice were with Carlisle
while Esme danced around in the
kitchen, making something to eat.

Alice suddenly busted into the room.

“Victoria…the wolves said she’s in the

woods, not ten miles away from here.”
She said.

I jumped up and Bella fell down into the

couch.

“What?” she frowned.

“We’re going after Victoria.” I replied.

“What! No! I’m going with you!” she

said quickly.
“No, you’re staying here with Rose and
Char. We’ll be back, don’t worry.” I
whispered and kissed her forehead.

Bella watched with watery eyes as I left

with the family.

“Are you sure this is where you saw it,

Alice?” Carlisle asked again.

She was quiet for awhile until she

gasped.

“On your left!” she cried.

And then we were off.

I ran after her and Emmett quickly

followed behind me.
He got ahead and grabbed the red head’s
shoulder only to be thrown down into the
ground.

I passed him quickly as she jumped up

into a tree and dashed to another. I
followed as she jumped across, I almost
had her.

Damn it!

I fell onto the ground with a ‘thump’.

Emmett and Carlisle passed me.

I ran after them, Esme to my side. Peter

went around, trying to circle her.

Victoria jumped across the river and the

wolves eagerly waited on the other side.
NO!

I jumped with her, tackling her into the

water.

She hissed in outrage as we splashed in.

I bit into her neck, letting my venom

seep into her dead veins.

She cried out, but only bubbles came up.

She kicked me off and I was thrown into

the mountain. I groaned from the pain as
she sprang out of the water.

I pinned her to the mountain as she

thrashed. Finally, she stopped and smiled
evilly at me.
“Oh, you’re exactly like Maria
described.” She said.

“What is she planning?” I growled.

She ignored me.

“You might want to hurry to your

human, Jazzy. Riley is her fan. And
those newborns sure are thirsty.” She
commented, looking up.

I glanced up to see five newborns

growling at my family. Ten more hissing
at the wolves.

I roared in outrage and ripped her arm

off of her. She hissed in pain and fell to
the ground.

I threw the moving limb into the water.

“Hurry to your human, Jasper.” She
hissed at me.

And I took off.

I jumped up the mountain as Emmett

growled at one of the newborns, taking
off his head.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

“Bella!” I roared.

Please be okay, keep your shield up!

Bella

“B, stop worrying, I’m sure there are

fine.” Rose brushed my hair and
comforted me.
I nodded.

“Thanks, Rose.” I sighed.

Char came in with a plate of cookies,

grinning at me.

“Why don’t you have a cookie then go

take a shower?” she asked.

“Sure.” I grabbed a cookie and bit into

the goodness.

I stood up and walked upstairs. I

undressed then stepped into the hot
shower.

The water beat against my heated skin

and I calmed down instantly.
“ROSE!” I heard Char’s voice cry from
downstairs.

I frowned, about to get out when I felt

cold, strong arms wrap around me.

“Jasper…?” I asked as a cold tongue ran

up my neck.

“You were never good with names,

Isabella.” He whispered.

I began to shake with fear as the British

accent entered my ear.

“Riley…” I whispered.

“You were always smart, too.” He

chuckled, rubbing his thumb up my
stomach.
I felt his cold erection press into my
back.

I whimpered.

“What are you doing here?” I asked,

trying to wiggle out of his grasp.

Why wasn’t my shield working?

“I wanted to see you. That blonde guy

never leaves you alone.” He commented,
taking my earlobe in his mouth.

I shivered in disgust.

“Get out.” I ordered.

“Oh, don’t talk like that, Isabella. You

know if I was inside you right now, you
would be screaming my name.” he
snickered as he gently bit down on my
ear.

“No!” I cried.

“Do we want to test that theory?” he

asked as he rubbed his erection up my
folds.

“Please, no! Not this way.” I whimpered.

“Then what way, Isabella? You know I

like it rough.” He grabbed my hips
forcibly and almost entered me.

“UGH!” I cried.

“Mmmm…you’re so warm.” He
hummed in my ear.
He took my nipples in his fingers and
started rubbing them.

I moaned.

“That’s my girl.” He grinned.

“Please, stop, Riley. Where is Rose and

Char?” I begged.

“Oh, I had some friends take care of

them.” He said.

“NO!” I cried, wiggling again.

He tightened his arms around me.

“Stand still.” He growled.

I froze.
“They’re not dead, love.” He assured me
as he rubbed me again.

I shivered.

“Please…” I whispered.

“Please, what?” he asked.

“Please, let me go. I won’t tell Jasper.

Please, just go.” I whispered.

He suddenly turned off the water and

carried me out of the shower.

“NO! LET ME GO, RILEY!” I cried.

“Shut up!” he glared down at me with

red eyes.
I finally got a good look at his face. He
was of course, beautiful, but I loved the
old Riley.

I touched his cheek softly.

“Riley, please…” I pleaded.

“Get dress.” He ordered, ignoring me.

He threw some clothes at me and I

quickly dressed in gray skinny jeans and
a white t shirt. He brushed my hair into a
straight ponytail and threw me into his
arms.

He had already packed a bag for me.

“Your coming with me.” He growled.

He placed me on the bed and I finally
found the strength to push him with my
shield.

He growled in outrage and was suddenly

in front of me.

“I don’t care what you say or do. We’re

leaving.” He growled.

“NO!” I yelled, trying to fight with him.

He threw me over his shoulder as I

pounded on his back.

He jumped out of the opened window

and threw me into a black truck.

“LET ME OUT!!” I roared.

He got into the other side, starting the
car.

“Get a good look at your former home.

You’ll never see it again.” he assured.

“NO! JASPER!” I screamed until my

throat started to hurt and tears fell form
my eyes.

Suddenly, I was really tired and Riley

smirked up at me.

“Sleep, Isabella. We’ll be there in

awhile.” He brushed his fingers against
my cheek.

And then I blacked out.

Jasper
Rose and Char threw the two newborn
into the fire, sighing with relief.

Peter and I ran upon them and they

whirled to us with crazed looks.

“What the fuck?” Peter growled.

“Where’s Bella?” I asked.

Everyone was silent.

“BELLA!” I roared and ran to the house.

I could smell his scent everywhere. I ran

up the stairs and ended up in the
bathroom.

His scent was mingled with hers in the

shower.
I growled in outrage, shaking with anger.

That bastard! He took her!

The family came up behind me.

“I-I am so sorry, Jasper. We tried—”

My phone cut off Rose’s apology and

Bella’s name flashed on the screen.

I grabbed it quickly and pressed it to my

ear.

“Bella?” I whispered.

“Oh, Isabella’s, asleep.” Riley

responded.

“You bastard! Where is she?!” I

growled.
“She’s with me.” He said. “Her skin is so
soft.”

“Keep your hands off her!” I hissed.

“She’s mine, Jasper. I told you I would

get her.”

“She’s fucking mine and if you hurt

her..!”

“Oh, we’ll have a lot of fun. Don’t

worry.”

I heard movement in the background.

“Isabella? Do you want to speak with

your ex lover?”

“Jasper!” Bella shrieked.

“Bella!” I exclaimed.

“Give me the fucking phone, you ass!”

she cried.

“Shut it!”

“Jasper, we just passed a now leaving

Texas sign!”

“I said, SHUT IT!”

“Jasper!”

Then the line went dead.

I fell to my knees.

“Bella!”
Bella

Riley grabbed my arm and dragged me

out of the car, growling under his breath.

The phone call from Jasper was a few

hours ago, yet he had not gotten over it.

I had no idea where we were and I still

couldn’t summon my shield to save me.

“Good work, Riley.” A velvet voice

whispered.

I raised my eyes to see a dark haired

woman.

She was beautiful.

She had a straight nose and pale skin.
Her lips were full and her eyes were red.
She smiled as her nostrils flared.

“You must be Jasper’s toy. Interesting.”

she grinned.

“Maria.” I growled.

I started to fight against Riley’s grip,

trying to push my shield out.

“You bitch!” I shrieked.

She watched me with curious eyes and a

little smirk.

She trailed her finger over my mouth

then suddenly captured my lips in hers.

She tasted like blood and wine.

She carefully scratched into my lips,
causing my blood to run in her mouth.

She parted from me and licked her lips.

“Mmmm…she’s perfect.” She mused.

Riley turned me in his arms and ran his

tongue along my lower lip to seal the cut.

He turned me back to Maria.

“Are they searching yet?” she asked.

“Jasper’s not going to give up Isabella

that easily.” Riley said.

“He is the God of War.” She

commented.
“Jasper will find me and when he does,
he’ll being the Gates of Hell down on
your ass, you worthless old bitch!” I
shrieked.

She stepped forward with a glare.

“What did I hit a nerve? Just kill me if

you’re going to do it. I have nothing to
live for.” I hissed.

She backed away and smirked.

“It seems Jasper does have taste.” She

mused, grinning.

I growled and spat in her face. She

hissed and backhanded me across the
face.
I spit out the blood that mixed with my
saliva as pain soared through my cheek.

“That’ll teach you some manners.” She

growled.

“It won’t teach me shit!” I spat.

“You little bitch.” She took a step

forward.

Riley got in between us and hissed at

her.

“This is my human. I’ve been waiting for

as long as I can stand. Back. The. Fuck.
Off.” He growled, pushing Maria back.

I was suddenly in his arms and inside an

unfamiliar room.
A king sized bed was in the center of the
room with a lamp on an end table and a
wide screen TV. A bathroom was
attached to the room.

Riley slammed the door then shoved me

into it.

I hissed in pain.

“You can’t just talk like that to anyone,

Isabella.” He whispered, staring at my
breasts.

“I’m up here, perv.” I growled, trying to

shove him with my shield.

He grabbed my wrists roughly and held

them above my head.
“You’re mine. I am not a perv for
looking at my human.”

“I am not fucking property!”

He ignored me.

“Mmmm…I love your smell. We just

have to take off these clothes.”

He started to lift my shirt, but I struggled

with him and tried to summon my shield.

He chuckled as he easily tore off the

fabric and looked up at me with his red
eyes, not the light green ones I had used
to love.

“I can manipulate one’s mind.” He

grinned.
“N-not mine, I have a shield.” I stuttered
as his fingers grazed up my stomach.

He laughed again.

“Remember when we were together,

Isabella? I could always tell when you
were nervous, upset, sad, happy…I have
the power to wiggle into your mind.” He
explained.

I shuddered as his information locked

into my brain.

“Riley, pl-please, stop.” I whispered as

his finger rubbed over my nipple.

He ignored me again.
He fastened his tongue onto my breast
roughly. I gasped and tried to fight off
the pleasure of his cold mouth.

“S-stop!” I cried as his other hand

entered me.

He pumped in roughly and hard. I cried

out at the pain.

He parted my legs with his hand to get

better access.

He suddenly picked me up and flopped

me on the bed.

I shuddered with fear as he held up two

pairs of handcuffs.

“Riley, no—”
Before I could stop him, my wrists were
attached to both sides of the bed along
with my ankles.

All were on me were my underwear. I

was exposed to him.

I shivered at the coldness as he appeared

on top of me naked.

“Please, Riley, this isn’t like you.” I

whispered, but he ignored me once
again.

He fastened himself onto my erected tip

again, grinding his dick into my core.

“Please!” I pleaded as tears fell from my

eyes.

“Please, what, Bella?” he teased.

“Please, stop...” I grounded out.

He didn’t answer, but looked deeply into

my eyes.

He gently touched my cheek and I

thought he was going to reconsider, but I
was dead wrong.

Before I knew what was happened, I felt

a sharp slash of pain at the bottom of my
breast and fires enter me.

I let out a shriek of pain as it coursed

through my veins, my heart picking up.

Riley smirked up at me, watching me

writhe in pain before he bit into the same
spot and sucked the fire back out.
I sighed with relief when it dulled.

“W-what are you doing?” I cried after I

regained myself.

“I love your blood. And there’s nothing

more beautiful than you dying.” He
whispered.

He pressed his lips to my new crescent

shaped scar then ran his tongue across it
to close the skin.

I didn’t answer. Tears flooded my eyes.

He bit into my skin four more different

times that night and left scars on my
stomach.

“Mmmm…” he hummed as he closed the

forth scar.
I shook with fear and pain as the
handcuffs dug into my ankles and wrists.

“Ah…and you’re still wet…” he

whispered as he ran his fingers up my
slit.

Then he entered me in one quick

movement, not giving me anytime to
adjust like Jasper usually would.

He lifted me by my back, causing me to

cry out from the pain of the cuffs.

He pumped in and out of me as he licked

my nipples, ignoring my cries of pain.

I cried out when I reached my climax.

I didn’t know why, but my body still
responded to him in some way and I
couldn’t help it.

He let me bounce back onto the bed and

slowly unlocked my cuffs.

“How was that for a reunion?” he

whispered in my ear.

I let a sob escape my throat.

“Riley…” I whispered.

“Love you, too.” He grinned then left the

room with a slam of a door and a twist of
a lock.

I curled up into a ball into my side.

“Jasper…where are you?” I whispered.

Jasper

I slammed my hands down onto the

table, causing it to snap.

“What do you fucking mean you lost the

scent?” I growled.

“Jasper, calm down. We are trying our

best.” Emmett grumbled.

“Then why are we here?!” Peter shot up

like me, fuming, his red eyes glaring at
Emmett.

Emmett stood up, growling.

“I love Bella just like my sister and I will

find her!”
“Yeah, right! That’s what you said two
days ago!” Char snarled.

“Shut up! Like you have done anything!”

Rose hissed back.

“She’s done more than you!” Jacob

growled.

“Fuck you—”

“QUIET!” Esme roared.

We all turned to her with wide eyes.

“We will find Bella. She has her shield.”

She whispered.

“That’s true.” Jacob sighed.

“Izzy will be fine.” Seth complied, but I
could feel his fear.

I felt a hand hit my shoulder and I turned

to Carlisle.

“She’ll be fine, Jasper. Bella is very

strong.” He assured me.

“She’s unprotected.” Alice whispered.

We all turned to her.

“Her shield can’t work on Riley. He’s

found a way into her mind.” She
explained.

It was quiet.

I started to shake with anger.

“MOTHERFUCKER!” I roared,
throwing the broken table across the
room, thus breaking the wall.

“Jasper, calm down!” Edward hissed.

“NO! He can do anything to her without

her shield. She’s just human without it.”
I growled.

Everyone seemed to catch on, because,

Rose started sobbing as Emmett
comforted her.

Peter snapped up and growled in outrage.

Edward hissed as Esme started to break
down.

“I found it!” Alice squealed. “They’re on

the east of New Mexico.”
We all snapped our eyes to her, and then
took off.

Bella

“C’mon you have to eat, Isabella. It’s

been two weeks.” Riley cooed at me.

I turned to glare at him with wet eyes.

I only ate once a day, but today I refused.

I didn’t want any of his food. He bit me
again and he knew he caused pain.

“Just take me back, Riley.” I whispered.

“I already showed you the pictures. What

else do you want?” he growled as he
threw the photos on the bed.

I glanced at them and felt my heart rip.

I wrapped my arms around myself, going
into fetal position.

They were pictures of Alice and Jasper.

Holding hands, kissing, laughing.

“Don’t you believe me, love? You know

it’s true.” He whispered in my ear,
trailing his nose up my neck.

I shook with disgust and fear.

“NO!” I cried, grabbing the pictures and

ripping them.

He growled and grabbed my wrists.

“Calm down.” He crooned again.

“I want Jasper.” I whispered, tears
leaking.

“Please, forget about him. He took Alice

back. It’s over.” He said.

A little part of me believed him. Alice

was always so confident in that theory. It
made me sick.

“No…” I whispered.

“Yes.” He nodded, taking my hands in

his.

“He promised.”

“Promises can be broken. I never broke

mine. I promised I would be back and I
am, Isabella.”
“He promised me forever. I didn’t know
it could be so short.” I whispered.

He interlaced my fingers with his and

chuckled.

“We can have forever.”

I felt myself go numb and tears fall down

my cheeks.

“Forever?” I whispered, turning to him.

“Forever.” He confirmed, pressing his

lips to mine.

And for the first time, I complied.

Jasper
We traveled towards New Mexico and
had to take a plane. I bounced in my seat
with anger and anticipation.

“Jasper, calm down!” Rose hissed.

I grumbled and halted my movements.

Emmett chuckled from behind me.

“Dick,” I muttered.

“Whatever.” He replied.

“Boys, quiet.” Esme scolded.

I rolled my eyes, but stayed quiet. I was

excited to see Bella. I was eager to
breathe in her scent then to kill that
British bastard, Riley.
Edward sighed at my thoughts and tried
to occupy himself with a magazine.

“We’ll get there in time…right, Jasper?”

Char whispered as she leaned against
Peter, gazing at me with her contacted
eyes.

I looked away and sighed.

I didn’t know.

Bella

I was chained up again. My wrists and

ankles hurt.

I let myself go numb with pain as Riley

entered me for the fourth time that day.
He gripped my thighs and pushed deeper
inside of me. He pulled me off the bed,
causing me to wince in pain as he pulled
at my chains.

He licked at my neck and went lower,

arching my back more.

I felt the familiar slash of teeth and fire. I

gasped and let out a whimper as the heat
entered under my breast.

“AGH!” I cried as I climaxed on him.

He chuckled in my ear, before he sucked

out the venom and licked his lips.

He climaxed next, his cool seed

spreading in me. He grunted and made
one final thrust forward, causing me to
whimper in pain.
He groaned suddenly and pulled out of
me quickly, causing me to flop back onto
the bed.

He pulled on some pants.

“What?” he growled.

A newborn, named Kyle, stepped in and

swallowed sharply as he eyed my body.

Riley stepped into his view and growled

possessively at him.

“What?” he repeated.

“Maria said for you to come downstairs,

the yellow eyes are coming.” He
responded.
He growled as I tried sit up.

“Jasper!” I cried happily.

Riley turned to me with a growl.

“NO! He’s not coming!” he hissed.

“But—”

“NO!!!” he roared.

He turned back to the newborn.

“Tell her I’m coming.” He hissed and the

newborn nodded, leaving quickly.

He quickly unlocked my cuffs and

slammed both of his arms on either side
of me.
“Remember who you belong to,
Isabella.” He growled. “Get dressed.”

I nodded and quickly stood up to get

dressed.

“And put on some makeup. You look a

little pale.” He grinned.

I nodded.

I took a quick shower and did my

makeup, putting on the eyeliner and red
lipstick Riley liked.

I curled my ends quickly. Riley quickly

stepped in and placed clothes in my
arms.
I put on my underwear and a big button
down shirt. I put on the loose jeans and
quickly put on my converses.

Riley grabbed me and shoved me

downstairs. All the five newborns were
outside.

Maria grinned at me and kissed my

cheek.

“You look actually worth it, doll.” She

complimented.

I growled under my breath.

“You bitch!” I sneered.

“Shut it! We need to be prepared!”

Riley took me into the back and threw
me into the car, starting it.

“Where are we going?!” I cried, trying to

wiggle out of his grasp.

“Places.” He growled and let me go,

buckling up my seatbelt.

He drove down the trail as tears started

down my eyes.

Jasper

I grabbed the last newborn and detached

its head in less than seconds.

Emmett started a fire as Peter threw in

the rest.
“Done, you can come out now, girls.”
Peter called.

Char, Rose, Esme, and Alice came out

slowly.

“Which way?” I hissed at her.

She rolled her golden eyes and turned to

the west as she pointed.

We all took off again, disposing

countless newborns as Jacob and Seth
finished the back.

I was starting to smell Bella faintly and

we all skidded to a stop when we saw
Maria.

The years had not hanged her. Her eyes

were still round and red. Her figure was
still curvy. Her hair still long and black.
Her face still perfect.

“Where the fuck is she?” I hissed,

crouching.

“Is that anyway to greet your maker,

Major?” she asked with a small smile.

“Shut up and give us Puddin’!” Peter

growled.

“Peter, Charlotte! So nice to see you

again.” She smiled warmly.

“Fuck you!” Char spat.

“Oh, are you all so rude? Esme is this

anyway to raise anyone?” she teased.

Esme hissed and Carlisle held her back.

Alice was smiling brightly.

“Alice?” Maria nodded her head and

pointed to the ground next to her.

Alice danced over and smirked brightly.

“Alice…?” Emmett frowned in

confusion.

“You wouldn’t!” Rose hissed in outrage

and shock.

“You little bitch!” Char cursed.

“I’m not shocked.” Peter shrugged.

Edward was as stunned as anyone else.

“Alice! How could you?” Esme wailed.

“As long as I get to share Jasper.” Alice
smiled evilly.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I

growled.

“Where is Puddin’?” Peter hissed,

growing impatient.

“Riley has her. I have no use for

Isabella.” She shrugged.

“Fucker…” I growled.

“Let’s get this over with and kill them.”

Char hissed.

Emmett charged, but a newborn threw

him effortlessly out of Maria’s path.
I heard a truck start behind the house and
I immediately started after it, jumping
over the tall cabin.

Everyone followed after me as I saw the

truck run off in the distance. Edward and
I were in the front and on both sides of
the truck.

Riley turned to us with hectic eyes,

grinning, but I didn’t see Bella.

I rammed my shoulder into the black

automobile and it rolled over, running
into a tree.

Edward ripped off the driver’s car door

and pulled out Riley. He fought against
Edward’s grip, but I quickly ran over and
took off his arms.
He hissed in pain.

“Where the fuck is she!?’ I growled.

“Like I’d tell you. I can’t believe it took

you this long to come and find her. We
weren’t that far away.” He hissed.

“Fuck you! You hid your scent.” I

growled.

“Well, Mr. Whitlock, your never going

to find Isabella with that attitude.” He
smirked cockily at me.

I kicked him in the stomach, winding

him.

“Where the fuck is she?” I growled,

about to take off his legs.
Em grabbed me from behind and held
me back.

The newborns came towards us and

kicked me and Emmett back. I hissed in
pain.

Maria stepped forward as the wolves

tried to break through the newborns.
Riley was dragged over to them by a
newborn.

“We’ll see ya later, Major.” She said

seductively.

She snapped her fingers and they

suddenly disappeared.

I growled in outrage and kicked Emmett

off of me.
I fell to my knees as dry sobs wracked
through me. Edward clamped a hand
over my shoulder.

“Jasper….we’ll find her.” Rose

whispered.

“Damn right we will.” Carlisle growled,

surprising everyone.

I nodded.

Bella

Riley threw me into the strange metallic

box. It was like a giant safe.

“You stay here.” He hissed.

“What is this place?” I whispered.

“It’s a metal case. Vampires can’t even
get through it.” He grinned widely as he
turned to the exit.

“Riley! Wait!” I called, but the chains he

had wrapped my wrists in prevented me.

He turned to me.

“I thought you loved me.” I whispered

softly.

I had been playing him for awhile. I had

been thinking if I had just tried to seduce
him he wouldn’t hurt or try to move me.

It didn’t work.

“Oh, Isabella, I do. But…Jasper’s after

you. I can’t let him have what’s mine.”
“Just one more kiss.” I pleaded
mockingly.

He seemed to buy it and strode over to

press his lips to mine.

I had learned, if he was distracted, I

could put my shield up. My shield
usually went down when I was weak.
This was my only chance.

I grabbed his face and traveled my hand

down his neck. I ghosted my hand with
my shield so he wouldn’t feel it.

I grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket

and put the hand behind my back as I
pulled his hair to distract him.

He smirked and pulled away, oblivious

to my trick.
He quickly strode out without a single
word.

I quickly started to pick at the phone

with my shaky fingers, trying to punch in
the numbers for Jasper.

It took a few tries, but I finally found a

signal and pressed the phone to my ear as
it started to ring.

“Riley, where the fuck—”

“Jasper!” I cried.

“Bella? Where are you?” he asked

worriedly.
“I don’t know. He said some kind of
safe. Please, hurry, Jasper.” I whispered
as tears fell.

“I promise I will find you.” He assured.

“I love—”

I was cut off by the phone shutting off.

“No!” I screamed, banging at empty

piece of shit.

I stared at the chains that were attached

to the wall. There was a small hole that a
key was supposed to open.

A light bulb seemed appeared on top of

my head as I grabbed the phone again
and took off the back.
The antenna was attached to the screen
so I started to dig into the machine, it
made my fingernails bleed.

I ripped the antenna out and stuck into

the hole of the lock. I started to panic
when nothing clicked then the thing
broke.

“NO!” I screamed.

I buried my face in my hands and cried

silently. I didn’t know how long had
been here, but I knew it had been more
than a day.

I used my last ounce of energy to slam

my shield against the safe in anger. The
steel rattled under the blows of my
shield, but did not break.
I fell into tears again and tried to pull at
the chains that were digging into my skin
like the cuffs.

I started to dose off from the lack of

energy.

My eyes shot open when I heard and felt

a slam against the door of steel.

Hope flared in my stomach and my heart

hammered against chest.

The slamming was getting harder and

harder.

I closed my eyes as the safe finally gave

away. The door slammed against the
wall beside me, missing me narrowly.
I slowly opened my eyes, dreading the
worst and hoping the best.

Looking a little disheveled than usual

and beyond pissed, was Jasper.

“Jasper!” I rejoiced, beaming.

I would’ve gotten up to hug him, but my

wrists were still pinned to my sides.

He quickly zoomed over to me as tears

fell from my eyes in happiness.

I had missed him so much. He was just

the same. All that I had dreamed of.

He released one of my chained wrists

and I quickly wrapped it around his neck.
He released the other and I wrapped
myself around him fully.

“Calm down, Darlin’.” He whispered as I

pressed my lips to his, crying.

He lifted me up as I wrapped my legs

around his waist. His tongue wrapped
around mine and when I needed to
breathe, he rested his forehead against
mine.

Tears fell from my eyes and trailed down

my pale cheeks.

“I thought I would never see you again.

And I never got to tell you I loved you
and—”

He silenced me with his lips again as

sobs overtook me again.
“Shh, Darlin’. I’m here.”

Suddenly, a booming voice filled the

dark safe.

“Jasper! Not really the time—”

He thrown easily by a newborn.

“Emmett!” I cried.

“He’s okay.” Jasper reassured me,

picking me up again.

Riley stood in front of us, growling and

ripped me away from Jasper, throwing
him through the safe.

“Jasper!” I screamed.
Riley wrapped his arms around me and
pulled me away.

We were suddenly outside and all the

Cullen’s glared at us.

Newborns surrounded me and what

surprised me most was Alice as she
beamed next to Maria’s side.

“Figures.” I rolled my eyes.

“I know, right?” Rose wrinkled her nose

in humor.

“Quiet!” Maria hissed.

“Fuck you!” I spat at her.

She turned to glare at me.

Riley tightened his grip.

“More newborns are coming. If you

really want to do this for a stupid human,
it’s your lives.” Maria hissed.

Everyone ignored her.

“I’ll give you one minute to let her go.”

Jasper hissed, glaring at Riley.

“No! Bella tell them that you love me.

Tell him that it’s over.” Riley growled,
shaking me.

“No! Riley! Let me go!” I cried.

He growled and held me tighter, causing

me to cry out in pain.

“Thirty-seven…” Jasper hissed at Riley.

“Attack!” Maria hissed, pointing at the
Cullen’s and wolves.

All hell broke loose…

Jasper

“Attack!” Maria hissed, jabbing a finger

at us, and breaking off my timer.

I growled as Bella disappeared from my

view with Riley and the newborns
charged.

Seth and Jacob charged, too, biting off

the first newborns’ heads, before they
could fight back.
Alice swiftly jumped over Jacob’s back,
spinning through the air, and threw a
punch at Rose.

“You trader!” Rosalie screamed, taking

off one of Alice’s arms.

Peter and Charlotte worked together,

taking off limbs from newborns.

Carlisle dodged most of the attacks,

keeping a sharp eye on Esme.

Edward and Emmett made swift punches

and kept an eye on each other.

Another rush of newborns came through

and before they could even focus on any
of us, Sam, Leah, and Paul all attacked,
jumping out of trees.
I slammed down a newborn by her neck
and took off her head. I chased down a
newborn as he ran down Charlotte.

I quickly slammed myself down onto his

back and tore off his arms.

Peter grabbed a newborn and put her in a

headlock. I smacked my fist down to
take off her marble head.

Paul threw a newborn up in the air and

Emmett kicked him down back to earth
only for the newborn to get shredded by
Sam.

I quickly searched my eyes for Riley and

picked up his scent.

I ran after it and skidded to a stop when I

saw him holding Bella closely to him, he
had his arm wrapped around her waist
and his other hand clamped over her
mouth.

Tears fell down her face silently as she

gazed at me with her big brown eyes.

“Riley…let her go, now.” I growled,

shifting my weight to a crouch.

He just grinned and shook his head.

“You know we had sex, right?” he asked,

tilting his head to the side.

I growled in outrage as Bella shook in

his arms.

“I marked her as mine.” He grinned,

rubbing Bella’s shivering arms.
I met her eyes as she tried to
communicate with me. Her eyes begging
for me. Tears leaking out of her orbs as
she struggled with Riley, desperate to get
to me.

“I’m going to fucking kill you!” I hissed.

He just smiled wider, slowly trailing his

fingers down her pale arms and curling
them around her fragile wrist as she
shook with fear.

With a flip of his finger, Bella’s wrist

snapped. She screamed in pain, but
Riley’s hand kept her quiet.

I growled and darted toward them,

pushing Bella out of the way and
slamming Riley into the dirt.
I could sense Peter and Charlotte behind
me. Charlotte helped Bella, trying to help
my mate regain consciousness.

Peter grabbed Riley’s legs and tore them

off his body. I removed his arms as Rose
darted in and started a fire.

Riley howled out Bella’s name as we

tortured him.

“Torch this motherfucker!” I barked out

and they quickly dismembered the rest of
him, throwing the body into the flames.

Charlotte and Rose huddled over Bella

and I gathered her in my arms.

Edward and the others came forward. He

eyed Bella and ran his hands through his
hair.
“Where are the wolves?” Rose asked in
distaste.

“They headed back. Paul and Leah got

hurt. They’re going to be fine and they’re
heading back to Forks tomorrow.”
Carlisle said.

I hovered over Bella, checking her

bruises on her arms. Her face was
peaceful, but was wet with tears.

Carlisle stepped forward and I growled,

protecting my mate.

He held up his hands in surrender.

Emmett and Peter stepped forward and I
growled louder.
“Jasper, I need to check her chest and
head. She might have a concussion and
internal bleeding. You must move.”
Carlisle took another step forward.

I hissed, glaring at all their movements.

“Major, Puddin’ could die. Lay off.”

Peter hissed.

I growled back at him.

“Just let him carry her.” Charlotte

insisted.

Esme nodded.

I picked up my mate, growling at

everyone before taking off.
I hurried to the hotel we were staying at
and ignored everyone’s curious looks. I
hurried up the steps and placed Bella on
the bed, looking her over and tracing her
face.

Carlisle came in a few minutes later,

Edward and Emmett made me leave, but
I stayed right outside the door, huffing
angrily.

We checked out the hotel the next day.

Bella had not woken up and Carlisle had
presumed she had slipped into a coma.

Peter and Charlotte made sure we got on

their private jet and flew back home. I
kept Bella in my lap.
Her shield was healing her slowly, but
not fast enough. Her bruises were fading,
but still dotted her arms in prominence.

When we finally got to Peter and

Charlotte’s originally home I
immediately took Bella and I up to our
room. I held her close to me.

“Wake up, Bella. Please, just wake up.” I

whispered.

Her eyelids fluttered and her heartbeat

picked up. Bella’s brown orbs slowly
opened.

“Bella?”

Bella
“Bella?” Jasper whispered, his golden
locks falling around his gorgeous face.

Tears sprung to my eyes in happiness.

“Bella!” Jasper exclaimed, wiping my

eyes. “Are you in pain?”

In one fluid movement, I was in his

arms. His scent was welcoming to me.

“Jasper!” I cried, latching myself onto

him, then cried out in pain in my ribs and
wrist.

That’s when I realized that my wrist was

in a brace. My chest thumped and it
ached.

My thoughts caught up with me.

Riley…

I wretched out of Jasper’s arms and

tucked my knees under me, ignoring the
ache in my chest.

I pulled at my hair.

“Darlin’?” Jasper called out worriedly as

I pulled at my roots.

“H-he’s dead, isn’t he?” I whispered.

He didn’t need a name and he knew who

I was talking about.

Jasper was suddenly in front of me,

pulling my hands away from my hair.

“He’s dead?” I whispered again.

He nodded silently.

I opened my mouth to say something, but

nothing came out, but a pathetic squeak.

I started to convulse with sobs. Millions

of emotions ran through me, but I could
only detect a few.

I was relieved, happy, and joyous.

I was sad, grieved, and depressed.

Jasper shook from the bolt of emotions

and I quickly wrapped my shield around
me to block out the pain.

He took me in his cold arms and held me

to his hard chest. I cried out in pain, but
not from my injuries.
My brain was happy. Jumping like a
little school girl.

He was finally gone and I didn’t have to

go through that pain anymore. I could
stay with Jasper and love him. Riley was
out of my life, finally.

My heart was sad and in agony.

Wrenching and breaking at the pain.

I lost Riley. I couldn’t save him from the

monster he had become. I couldn’t see
his easy, fun smile. I couldn’t be with
him…

Jasper squeezed me tighter, cooing

comforting words at me.

After a few hours, my eyes went dry and

I sat up. Jasper stared at me, startled.
“I need a bath.” I croaked out, wiping my
wet eyes.

He frowned, but nodded, standing up and

zipping to the bathroom.

I heard the water start and I lay back

down in the bed. I felt Jasper’s arms pick
me up and the bright lights blinded me.

Jasper placed me on the hard floor and

started to unbutton my shirt.

Riley’s leering face popped into my

mind and I cried out in fear.

“No! Stop!” I cried, my scars registering

into my brain.
Jasper’s hands paused and he quickly
removed them, watching me with wide
eyes.

“I’m sorry.” He whispered.

“Me, too.” I said just as quietly.

“Do…you want me…to leave?” he asked

hesitantly.

“Please.” I nodded.

He gave a curt nod of his own and turned

to leave. I grabbed his arm and he turned
back to me.

“Stay in the room. Please, don’t leave

me.” I pleaded.
He slowly pressed a kiss to my forehead
and left the room.

I quickly stripped, ignoring the ache of

my bones. My core still ached and
bruises surrounded it. My body was
covered in them.

I didn’t want to look at my breasts or

stomach. They were covered with scars.
So was my back.

I stepped into the water and kept my

braced wrist above the water.

After an hour of bathing, my finger

started to look like prunes so I quickly
got out. I looked at myself in the mirror
and flinched from the person.
She was tired, you could tell that much.
She had small bags under her eyes. Her
brown eyes were red and swollen. Her
face was flushed. Her hair was a tangled
mess on top of her head.

It was hard turning this pathetic girl into

me.

I sighed and combed through my hair

and put it into a ponytail. I washed my
face and brushed my teeth.

I wrapped the white robe around me. It

covered me completely and reached the
floor.

I took a deep breath and I was encased in

strong arms. Warm black eyes looked at
me. Riley’s cold blood dark eyes entered
my mind.
“No! Please!” I cried out in fright and
moved away.

“Puddin’! It’s me.” Peter whispered

worriedly and embraced me.

I relaxed in his hug, breathing hard.

He was suddenly thrown back and Jasper

crouched protectively in front of me.

“I told you to wait after her bath!” he

hissed, glaring at Peter.

The red eyed vampire nodded and turned

to me with worried eyes.

“You remember me, right, Puddin’?” he

whispered, staring straight into my eyes.
I nodded.

He slowly crawled his way over to me,

ignoring Jasper’s warning growls.

He wrapped his stone arms around me

and sighed in relief.

“I thought we were going to loose you.”

He whispered into my hair.

I was quiet, but nodded, wrapping my

arms tightly around his neck.

He wordlessly picked me up, still

ignoring Jasper, and carried me into
Jasper’s and I room. He placed me on the
bed and traced his fingers under my
swollen eyes.

“You look so tired.” He whispered.

“And you look so thirsty.” I responded
quietly, tracing the purplish bags under
his black eyes.

Peter scoffed and turned away from my

hand, dropping his.

“I’m fine.” He insisted before turning to

Jasper.

“The family is downstairs, Bella. They

want to make sure your okay.” Jasper
was suddenly in front of me, taking my
hands.

I nodded.

“I want to see them.” I whispered,

cupping his cheek.
He picked me up and carried me
downstairs, even though I was still
dressed in the white robe.

Everyone was down there and they

raised their eyes to me as Jasper and I
descended down the steps.

I quickly searched my eyes over them.

Nobody seemed injured and that was
good. But I didn’t see the aggravating
pixie.

“Alice is dead.” I said quietly. It wasn’t a

question.

Everyone was stunned and stayed silent.

“Who killed her?” I asked.

Rosalie cleared her throat and raised her
hand slightly.

She narrowed her golden eyes.

“It was a pleasure, I assure you that,

Bella.” She retorted in a cryptic tone.

Everyone, but Char, Jasper, Peter, ad I

flinched away from her.

I kept my eyes locked with hers then

sighed.

“Put me down, Jasper.” I ordered.

He nodded and stood me gently on the

floor.

Esme immediately stood and embraced

me into a hug. Carlisle followed after
her. Charlotte and Rosalie squeezed me
and Emmett gave me a careful hug.

Edward kept his distance and just nodded

at me.

I sat down on the couch next to Jasper

and he quickly pulled me into his lap.

“How is your wrist?” Carlisle asked.

“It aches.” I answered, staring at it.

“Your chest?” he questioned.

“Thumping.”

“Head?”

“Sore.”
“We’re going to get some medication for
you.” He replied.

“Thanks.”

“No problem, Bella.”

“Are you hungry, dear?” Esme asked

quietly.

“Um, yes. Actually, I am. Is it okay if

you get me some ice-cream?” I asked.

Jasper chuckled in my ear.

Esme smiled brightly.

“Of course, Emmett, Edward! Come

with me!” she ordered, grabbing her
shoes.
They both grumbled, but followed her
out the door.

Carlisle gave me one kiss on my head

before leaving for my medicine.

Peter and Char needed to go hunt so they

left quickly.

Rosalie sat there, staring at me. She

finally turned her golden eyes on Jasper.

“Can I talk to Bella, Jasper? Alone.” She

asked.

He was confused, but nodded.

“Sure.” He replied.

He started to get up, but I whimpered

from his body loss. He smiled gently and
grabbed my hand, kissing it and holding
it tightly before disappearing, my eyes
too weak to see his movement.

I sighed and stared at Rosalie as she

stared back. She crossed her leg over the
other.

“Bella, what happened with Riley?” she

asked quietly.

My breathing accelerated from his name.

I just shook my head.

“Did he hurt you?” she asked.

Images of Riley fingers digging into my

thighs, slapping me, biting me raced
through my mind.
“Bella…did he…violate you?” she
whispered brokenly.

Memories Riley pumping in and out of

me, rubbing my clit, and fondling my
breasts flashed in front of my eyes.

I started to shake and shook my head

violently, wrapping my arms around
myself mid-section and turning away
from her.

She was next to me in a flash, cradling

my face and forcing me to look at her.
Her golden eyes filled with tears that she
could not cry.

“He did, didn’t he?” she whispered.

I nodded silently as tears fell from my

eyes.
“Oh, God, Bella!” she cried, taking me
into her arms as I well into her chest.

“It’s okay, Bella. Let it all out, honey.

It’ll get better, I promise.” She cooed at
me.

I didn’t know how long I wrapped

myself around Rosalie, but it must’ve
been long because Esme returned home
with Em and Jasper.

Rosalie handed me to him and headed

upstairs with Charlotte, throwing me as
sad smile.

Jasper held me tightly to his chest. He

didn’t ask me what was wrong. I fell
asleep into his chest.
For the next few days, I didn’t talk or
eat. Carlisle came in everyday to give me
a shot. Emmett and Peter tried to cheer
me up, but nothing worked. I would talk
to Rose constantly about the rape, hoping
for some advice.

Jasper kept his distance, but held me in

my sleep.

Esme made me soup instead. Carlisle’s

orders.

Jasper sat me at the table and watched

me as I stared at the chicken noodle
soup. I squeezed the spoon tightly in my
good hand, I wasn’t hungry.
Jasper finally sighed and snatched my
spoon away.

“Give that back Jasper,” I complained,

“It’s mine.”

“No,” he answered, turning his eyes to

the soup and the utensil into food and
bringing it back up to my mouth “Eat.”

I sighed and opened my mouth,

swallowing the continents.

Jasper fed me the entire time.

When I was done, he gave the plate to

Esme with a smile and placed a white
pill in front of me with a glass of water.

“Take it,” I stared at him, “It’ll ease the

pain.”
I sighed again and stuck into my mouth,
swallowing it without any water.

I turned to him and took his hand.

“Can we talk?” I whispered.

He nodded and picked me up. Before I

could blink, we were in our room.

He placed me on the bed, staring into my

eyes.

He pressed his lips softly to mine, but I

quickly backed away. He flinched and
sighed, taking my hands.

“You don’t want me.” I whispered, tears

collecting in my eyes.
He took my face between his hands and
kept his eyes locked with mine.

“Bella, you know I love you. What’s

wrong?”

“He...raped me.” I whispered.

His eyes turned dark, but he kept his

anger underway.

“He…bit me.” I whispered, tears falling.

His anger became unleashed and he

growled in fury. I ran my fingers through
his hair.

“I want to show you…what he did to

me.” I said quietly.

“You don’t have—” I cut him off.

“I want to.”

I stood up, ignoring his shocked eyes. I

removed my shirt.

His eyes darted down to my stomach and

breasts. His eyes darkened to black. He
lifted his hand to skim over the scar
under my breast, the first one.

He surprised me by pressing his lips to

my scar and pulling me to him.

“You aren’t disgusted?” I asked, wiping

my tears.

“You weren’t disgusted by mine. I love

you and the scars are nothing, but the
past. Like mine.” He whispered, pressing
his lips to mine.
“I love you, Jasper!” I cried, launching
myself at him.

He chuckled and wrapped his arms

around me.

“I missed you.” I whispered into the

nuzzle of his neck.

“I missed you, too.” I started to unbutton

his shirt.

“Bella, are you sure?” he asked qietly.

I nodded through the tears and took off

his shirt. He slipped off my bra and
pressed his mouth to every scar.
I attacked his lips with my own,
wrapping my bare legs around his waist
and grinding into his prominent erection.

He groaned and pressed his tongue to

mine. He pulled off his pants, standing
and entering me in one quick movement.
He gave me time to adjust and I thanked
him for that.

“Jasper, I’m ready.” I whispered,

clamping my arms around him.

He frowned and we were on the bed. He

quickly pulled out of me.

“Are you sure?” he whispered.

I nodded.
He kissed me long and hard before
entering me again. We went at a slow
pace.

He peppered kisses down my neck until

he got to my pulse point. I felt the
familiar slash of pain and I winced,
wrapping my arms around his neck.

I cried out at the burning then everything

went black.

Jasper

Bella slumped against me and I

immediately slid out of her. I could hear
footsteps, so I growled, warning them to
stay away.
The person froze and I heard slight
whispers. I sighed and dressed Bella in
some sweats.

I put on a shirt and pants and sat down

next to her, keeping her emotions in
check.

She was silent in her change and only

squirmed. Her skin started to turn the
same temperature as mine. Her face
became more beautiful. Her hair became
thicker and longer. He body turned
curvier and stronger.

On the second day, her heartbeat took off

and her breaths quickened. Her heart
stopped and I immediately missed it.

Bella slowly opened her eyes and stared

into mine. They were the color they were
supposed to be. Her eyes were violet and
wide, the color of her shield.

“Bella…?” I whispered, stroking her

cheek.

She sat up in one quick movement and

stared at me.

“Do you remember me? I’m Jasper.

Your fiancé.”

She nodded.

I cupped her chin and raised an eyebrow,

waiting for her to speak.

She didn’t answer, but wrapped her arms

around me tightly. I winced and backed
away in pain.
She stared at me, shocked and rejected.

I shook my head quickly, taking her

small hands.

“No, Bella, Your strong now. So…ow.” I

smirked, leaning away form her grasp.

She smirked and withdrew her hands.

“Sorry.” She whispered.

I smiled gently.

“I love you.” I replied.

“I love you, too.” She said and her voice

sounded like bells.

She gasped, covering her mouth and

staring at me with wide violet eyes.
I removed her hands and smiled gently.

“It’s okay, Darlin’.”

She nodded.

“Now we have forever.” I said.

“Forever.” She agreed, hugging me to

her.

A few years later…

“Daddy!” the tike called.

His golden blonde hair falling over his

wide blue eyes. Freckles dotted nose and
cheeks as he ran towards me.
I turned away from horse, Liberty, and
picked him up in time.

“What is it, Charlie?” I asked, smiling

gently at him as I placed his small body
on my hip.

“Look whats I found!” he cried, holding

out his tiny palm and showing me a
small caterpillar.

I smiled again.

“Do you know what it is?” I asked

quietly.

He shook his head.

“It’s a caterpillar.” I explained.

“A capamilla?” he tilted his head to the
side.

“A caterpillar. They are God’s angels.

They wrap themselves up and turn into a
butterfly.” I said.

He nodded and looked at it intensely.

“Should I lets him goes?” he asked

quietly.

“If you want him to live.” I nodded.

“I do.” He answered.

“Then let him go, Charlie.” I whispered

in his ear.

Tears collected in his blue eyes before he

looked up at me.
“What if him never come back heres?”
he asked quietly.

“He will return one day. You might not

recognize him though.” I smiled.

He nodded again and I put him down.

“Bye-byes, little capamilla. I will see you

again.”

He waved his little hand good-bye as the

caterpillar disappeared into the grass.

I wiped the tears from his eyes and

grinned at him.

“That was very nice.”

“Thank you.” H responded, smugness
radiating off of him.

“Oh, now you think your Superman,

huh?” I teased, gathering him back into
my arms.

“I saved the good. I am Soomermans!”

he pouted.

I laughed and headed back to the ranch.

I could smell food cooking.

Bella was in the kitchen with Charlotte.

They were both cooking for Charlie.

“Hi, momma and aunt Rubies!” Charlie

crowed as he ran to hug their legs.
He called Charlotte and Peter that
because of their red eyes. They found it
hilarious.

He knew all about vampires and found it

very cool. We would decide to change
him or not when he was old enough, if he
even wanted to.

We had adopted him when we got

married. Bella’s bloodlust wasn’t bad so
we took a chance.

We moved away from the family with

Peter and Charlotte and got a ranch deep
into Texas.

We named him Charlie after Bella’s

father. I had suggested it and she jumped
with joy.
Carlisle and Esme were touring the
world. Emmett and Rosalie stayed up the
state and came to visit often. Edward
actually found a mate named Cary and
they immediately got married. They now
lived in Wisconsin, posing as juniors.

“Hello, baby. Where were you?”

Bella took in Charlie’s dirty appearance

and stared at him worriedly with wide
violet eyes.

“I went to the creeks and found a

capamilla. I had to lets him goes because
he was God’s angel.” He explained.

Char glanced at me and I shrugged.

Bella nodded and wiped his face with her

thumb.
“Charlotte, can you take him upstairs and
give him a quick bath? I wanted to talk
to Jasper,” she turned to glare at me,
“Alone.”

“Sure,” Char grinned and picked up

Charlie, taking him upstairs.

I turned back to Bella and grinned.

“Am I in trouble?” I asked.

“Yes! You know he isn’t supposed to go

near that creek. What if he got hurt!?”
she cried.

I took her quickly in my arms and silence

her with my lips.
“He’s fine. Charlie is just adventurous.
You know he loves the outdoors.” I
assured her.

“I know,” she grumbled, crossing her

arms “I just worry about him. He isn’t as
durable as you and me.”

I nodded.

“I’ll keep him safe.” I whispered,

pressing my lips to hers.

“Ew! Would you guys do that in the

bedroom?” Peter complained as he
stepped in.

“Fuck you.” I growled, tangling my

tongue with Bella’s and bucking my hips
into hers.
We were so wrapped up in each other,
we didn’t hear Charlie return.

“Uncle Rubies, what are they doing?” he

asked.

“I don’t know,” Peter played along, “But

it looks like Daddy is winning! WOO!”

Charlie laughed and started to cheer, too.

I broke away from Bella and grabbed

Charlie in a big hug as I slapped Peter in
the back of his big head.

“OW!” he cried.

Charlotte laughed as she came

downstairs.
I stared fondly at everyone. Peter and
Char held hands as they laughed
together.

I turned my eyes to the love of my

existence.

She smiled fondly at me and waved at

Charlie. I turned to my son of three years
and pressed a kiss to his round head.

“I love you.” Bella mouthed.

“And that’s never going to change.” I

whispered lowly.

The End
