Also to answer your question Hanane - Yes, the wolves will show up I am not sure when yet. Probably soon though.
Sassyfrass2.0 - I really don't want a wedgie so I will try to write faster for ya! ;)
JessJess76- I wasn't so sure about the Jasper/Rose pairing at first, but after I started writing it turned out pretty good. Don't cha think? Alice always seemed to dictate his life. I am not so sure about Alice and Emmett but I will give it a shot. I may end up changing it. Please tell me what you think about them!
JPOV:
Bella just left and Rose and I are going to hunt. I did a lot of thinking as we ran into the dark woods in a comfortable silence. We really don't need to hunt but I am not taking any chances with Bella around. She trusts me way too much. Rose says Bella's right. That I was feeling 6 different vampires bloodlust. Edwards was what threw me off guard. He may be a little used to her scent but his bloodlust for his singer is tremendous. I wonder what Bella would say when she found out Edward was with Tanya. They weren't mates but they were still together. Much like her and Edward were. Her pain today was almost too much for even me to handle. I have killed and tortured newborns and humans for years. There pain and sadness was horrible but Bella's was like she was just so deep in this black hole. It was unreal how a human could feel this and not die of depression. She was definitely stronger than anyone thought.
I was broke out of my train of thought by my phone ringing. It was probably Alice, seeing our last minute decision. I was preparing myself to be yelled at when Ias I slowly pulled the phone out of my pocket. When I looked at the phone I was shocked to say the least. Peter. I haven't heard from my brother in forever. I answered the phone calm but really was nervous as hell. What made this all knowing brother of mine call me now? I mean the last time he called was to let me know Char had found her real mate. That was only 2 months ago. We may be brothers but unless heading over for visits, we don't call for a nice chit-chat.
"Was up?" I asked. The next few words made both me and Rose fly back home faster than we have ever ran before. I bet we gave Edward a run for his money. I would be quite proud if it weren't for the situation.
"Hurry up and get your fat ass home! The girl that was here an hour ago is hurt. Bad. Tortured by a vampire. She is in the beginning of a change." He hung up. Did Victoria get Bella? Laurent? Did she change her? Did Peter? Why? How did he find her? Why was he here? So many questions were running through my head that it almost gave my big vampire brain a headache. As soon as I got home I bombarded Peter with questions while Rose frantically searched Bella over. She cared more than anyone thought she did.
"You know that damn gift I had told me to come here. I heard a scream. Smelt blood and a vampire. Saw this girl passed out with her head pointed toward this video camera. I am guessing this vampire wanted to see her pain over and over again." Peter gave me a quick run down of the story pulling out a camera from his pocket.
A camera? What the hell? Who video tapes torture? I took the tape and put it in. I didn't want to see my baby sisters pain but I had to know who did this to her. I was going to kill whoever it was as soon as I find them.
There on the screen was my poor little sister facing Victoria. Being so brave. She tortured poor innocent Bella because of what we did! I killed James not Bella! Its time to tear some vampire ass! I could feel the monster inside me starting to break free of the chains I have had holding him back. My eyesight was starting to turn red. I could barely think straight. Major was about to make his next show since James. I could hear my mate talking to me. I thought of her and Bella laying there helpless and in pain. I thought of my brother Peter. I slowly calmed back down and surprisingly the only thing I broke was a vase. Normally half the house would be gone by now.
When I saw Peter tending her wounds, I was surprised he could stand the smell of her blood. Her blood smelled absolutely amazing to Edward and wonderful to me. Even I could feel Carlisle's throat start to burn a little more than normal when its exposed to him. When I voiced my question he seemed just as amazed as me.
"I have no idea. Her blood smelt wonderful even tasted better than any other humans. I didn't want to kill her though. I wanted her to live. I still cant figure out why I changed her." At that time it clicked why his 'gift' brought him here, why her blood didn't bother him, why he changed her. She was his mate and he was hers. I couldn't help but be proud I found this out before my smug, all knowing, cocky, brother.
When he left to hunt, with a lot of persuasion, Rose changed and bathed Bella while I ran the perimeter searching for signs off Victoria or Laurent anywhere around here. I couldn't smell them nor did I see any signs so I headed back to Bella. Peter came in around the same time I did and I had to stifle a laugh when I saw little flecks of copper in his eyes. She already had him wrapped around her finger and didn't even know him.
We needed to come up with some cover story were Bella's body is never found and we needed to talk to the wolves. Hopefully they will let us try to explain we did not break the treaty before they attack and try to tear us apart limb by limb. I also needed to explain what she has already been through to Peter before his head explodes from all his curiosity. He is very angry at Victoria but I think his curiosity is covering it. Might as well start with the lover boy first. I just hope he doesn't goes nuts when he hears he's know mated.
PPOV:
What had happened to this poor girl? Who is this Victoria that tortured her? And Laurent who tried to kill her? Are dogs werewolves? What made me save her? Was my gift telling me to because she was Jasper's sister? What made this happen? How did Jasper come into contact with a human and have her be his sister? Who is James? Why did Jasper and Emmett kill him? Why did I feel a pull to this girl? I was pulled out of all the craziness when I felt a Jaspers hand on my shoulder and felt a large dose of calm fall over me.
"Chill out and I will tell you everything." He sat down on the chair beside me before he continued. "Now I will start with the obvious thing that you are not picking up with your so-called famous 'gift'. Now I know you are wondering how you saved her and why. I bet you are also wondering why you feel you can't leave this bedside and that you want to kill everyone who hurt her. Well, my dear love blind brother, that all is because you found your mate." I stared at him dumbstruck. My Mate. Of course! that's why it explains keeping my own monster down. That's why I saved her. That's why I changed to drinking animal blood, again. How could I be so blind! I knew most things before they happened! I can always but the puzzle pieces together! I looked over at Jasper who was half wearing shit-eating grin and half frowning. That definitely put a weird look on his face.
"I found My Mate!" I said kissing Bella on the forehead. Jasper just smiled but again the smile didn't reach his eyes. I braced myself. If Jasper is acting like this, what he has to say is bad. I was already fighting my beast. When I looked back over at him, I nodded, letting him know its fine to speak.
"Bella was first introduced to our world by Edward. Edward told her she was his mate." Jasper began sending me a dose of calm, knowing I would go crazy hearing someone tried to put a claim on My mate. "He brought her to met the family and everyone loved her. She was always so caring and selfless. There was never a time she thought about herself before others. We took her out to the field one day so she could watch us play baseball. While we were playing Alice got a vision of 3 nomads coming are way. They would be there in minutes. There was no where to run. We hid Bella the best we could and Carlisle spoke to them. There names were James, Laurent and Victoria." I growled again at the sound of there names and hearing them around my Bella again. When I had gotten the best of the beast trying to break free, Jasper began again.
"James was a tracker. He smelt Bella of course and when we all protected her he thought of it as a game. Me and Alice took her all the way to Phoenix where she used to live. Emmett, Rose, Edward, Carlisle, and Esme all tried to distract him. Rose dressed in Bella's clothes and took off with Edward. So he would follow her scent. He followed them for a while but soon caught on to our trick. He found out we were in Phoenix and called Bella. He told her he had her Mom and would kill her if she didn't give herself up and go to her old ballet studio. Being the caring for others Bella she was, snuck out of the airport were we were waiting for the family and took a bus to the studio." My growls were never ending and my vision tented with red. My monster was taking over. I took a hold of Bella's hand and took some deep breaths, just staring at her face. We vampires didn't need to breath but it was still a comforting gesture. Jasper knowing what it is like to have to keep this monster locked up was very patient and understanding right now.
"He threw her around some. She had a few broken ribs, leg, and arm. When we got there it was to late, he bit her. Edward sucked the poison out. When it was all over we made a cover story saying she fell down the stairs and out a window. After that things fell back into normal. Until the dreaded 19th birthday. Alice, being Alice, threw her a huge birthday party. We all came were there. Well, when opening the presents she got a paper cut. I guess I should also mention she is Edwards singer. Everyone's bloodlust was overpowering. I-I lunged. Edward threw her onto some table hearing in my thoughts that I was fighting my monster. Her blood was everywhere. Rose and Emmett stopped me. A few days after that Edward brought her out in the middle of the woods and left her. He told her she was worthless. But he told the family that she didn't want to be around us anymore. She was depressed for months then she started hanging out with the wolf pack. Victoria and Laurent came after her. And here we are." When he finished I was pacing the room, pulling at my hair trying to stop the monster from coming out. I ran over to Bella and kissed her forehead than breathed in her scent mixed with mine. It was a strawberry and pine mixed smell. It calmed me instantly. Jasper had his head hung low. In all my years of knowing the Major I had never seen him this upset. I had seen him fighting his monster and human blood but seeing him suffer the pain of thinking he hurt me was almost to unbearable to watch.
"Jasper, Brother, it was not your fault." I started out calmly walking toward him and sending him a bunch of honesty and trust. "I don't blame you at all. In fact I blame Edward. You felt the bloodlust a vampire felt for his singer. Then others on top of that. You allowed yourself to be stopped. You left. I am so proud of you bro. I love you, man." I said pulling him up and into a brotherly hug. Moments like this were rare between us. But meant a lot to us both. We weren't blood brothers but we were closer than most.
"Love you, too bro. Thank you for not hating me." He hugged me back.
"I could never hate you. Now come on tell me what else you have on your mind. What Bella's death? The werewolves? The newborn stage? All the above?" I asked. My gift was in full workout mode now. It must be upset it didn't figure that one out too.
"All of the above." Jasper laughed. "Well, we do need to find a way to cover Bella's death. The werewolves will be a problem. Well, you know about the treaty. If we can at least talk before they attack I would be awfully grateful. Ah, the newborn stage. Were you would like to eat the town. I say move her to our home in Alaska. Its away from most people and way back in the woods. I doubt anyone knows its there. Esme would love to redecorate, anyway." He gave a small laugh. It would probably be good idea for me to take her to Alaska and let Jasper and Rose deal with the wolfs and Bella's death. If they could then make it to Alaska before Bella woke then that would be fine. She may not freak out as much if she knew someone. We could call the rest of the Cullins and have them join us there later on. As long as Eddie boy doesn't try to put a claim on her. I knew my monster would be out of control then.
"I will take her to Alaska tonight. You and Rose deal with the wolfs and her death. Then join us as soon as you are done with that. The rest of the family can join us later if that is what Bella wants. I have a feeling things will go pretty smooth with the pack so maybe they will get Bella's death covered. Call for Rose and ask he if she would please come here and bathe and change Bella for the drive. It may be hard to get pass a cop if I happen to get pulled over with a girl covered in sweat." I said taking charge of the issue. I hadn't even finished talking and Rose had fluttered into the room with a red deep V neck shirt and a pair of jeans. She pushed me and Jasper out of the room but we never left the door and I was probably about to pace a hole in the floor.
I didn't like being away from her at all. She was being so quiet but I knew she was in pain. A lot of pain. Emotionally because of what just happened to her. Physically because of the venom, of coarse. As soon as Rose stepped out I ran in. Bella was dressed in plain outfit of jeans and a red T-shirt. I wish I could just sit and stare at her all day but we needed to get a move on if I wanted us to be in Alaska before she changes. I don't think I would have any fun at all with a newborn waking up as I drive through the middle of a town.
I said bye to Jasper and hugged Rose. They both wished me luck as I did to them. Hopefully the wolfs don't give them any trouble. I didn't think they would. It wasn't any of their faults. They didn't bite anyone and my name isn't signed on that treaty. They will probably be just as mad at Victoria as us.
I carefully picked her up and wrapped a blanket around her tiny body. I walked slowly down the stairs being very careful with her. I could have ran and she would be fine but I am not taking any chances at all. I had to take Jasper's truck and they are going to have to buy another car. They couldn't make it in time if they ran. I laid her in the truck so that her head was on my lap and began our drive.
I had a lot of time to think as I drove. I wondered how Bella acted and how she would react to me. Me being her mate to be exact. She should know I am her mate but waking up a newborn, changing the way she did, and then finding out your soul mate saved you from death. Yeah, I don't know anybody that could handle that.
She is definitely going to be a shield. If she could block Edward then that's a for sure. She is probably a pretty strong shield if she can use it when she's human. I wonder if she has a physical shield or just a mental. Would she have a longer newborn stage then normal because of her changing? Probably, its bad to be changed when your traumatized. Working with newborns taught me that. We had to kill a few because of the way they were changed. That would not happen to my Bella. I would fight for years if I have too.
I pulled up the very long drive to the house. It was a huge, white two story place with a bunch of windows. There was a Car garage about as big as the house and a green room. I bet the green room was for Esme. She has always loved to garden anything and everything. I cold hear a waterfall way off in the distance. It was barley readable to my vampire ears. I would have to go check it out when Bella wakes up.
I carefully cared Bella in the house trying to keep her in the most comfortable position. It surprised me that she wasn't making screaming or moving any. The only thing that let me know she was still alive was her fast beating heart and occasional whimpers. Each whimper just made me want to kill myself for what I did to her.
I carried her into the house and looked around. The walls were a light brown color and the floors were wooden. There was a loveseat and a couch covered with a towel. Then a coffee table in the middle of the two. The place definitely looked of an older time. There were a few covered pictures on the wall and a very dusty chandler hanging above everything. Beside the living room was the dining room. I could see a table in there covered with a towel also. There were about 10 chairs around the table that were wooden and looked like the flowers on the had been hand carved. With all the money the Cullin's had they probably were hand carved.
I walked up the creaky wooden stairs and opened the door to the first bedroom I found. I walked in and found the bed already made and the room clean of dust. The door was opened to the closet and tons of designer clothes were hanging in there. I walked up to the bed and saw a note on it. It read:
Hey, Peter! I am so glad Bella's your mate! It will be great to have my sister back! Don't worry she will be very unique but I'm not saying anything right now. Don't worry I have seen that she is not ready to see the family again yet. Especially Edward but I had to come and help somehow. I can shield my mind from Edward very well so he won't find out. Good luck!
Alice
P.S. The whole family was not told the real way Edward left her. He said she didn't want us anymore. There was a werewolf close enough to block my visions of what happened but I saw her tell Jasper and Rose and he will be out of the family soon.
That pixie always surprised me. I will have to repay her later though. I slowly laid Bella on the bed and moved the note to the dresser. Bella may want to read it later and if not I know Jasper will. Especially the last part. I doubt assward will every be out of the family. He may as well be the golden child. Carlisle and Esme treat him like a freaking prince. I can't wait till I see him. He will freaking die for leaving this beautiful creature in horrible pain.
