AN: Okay, so this is me attempting my own stab at a Bella/Major pairing. So many people have done this duo so well that I hope I too can do them justice. I'm pulling ideas for this from several stories I've read, so if you see something that another author thought of first, the credit goes to them. And as always, I don't own Twilight. Though I do own several beautiful porcelain masks!

Alice's POV

There was just something missing. We never really knew what it was, but it just never quite felt whole. Jasper and I were mates, there was no room for doubt about that of course, and we were happy. Sometimes, it just felt like that wasn't enough. There were parts of Jasper I couldn't touch. Parts that we had together strived to keep buried.

He was like a duck on water. Calm, cool and collected on the surface. The Jasper I had access to was peaceful and serene. The Jasper that was my Jasper was perfect for me. He was mellow and introverted where I was hyper and extroverted. We complimented each other so well.

But there was another side of Jasper. Beneath the water he was fighting always fighting to keep himself afloat. His mind was full of strategies and contingencies at all times. He saw the world in terms of enemies and allies, though one could easily enough become the other. I had lived with Jasper long enough to know a lot about both versions of himself. But it was only part of him that I connected to.

I had started to think I was simply failing him. That maybe I just needed to suck it up and try to relate to The Major. Maybe I just wasn't doing a good enough job. Until one fateful day when I finally realized that it wasn't my job at all.

We were sitting in the living room packing for our upcoming move to Washington when I saw it.

"Esme could you please pass me the packing t…" my eyes flew open as the vision began and I gasped from the force of it, dropping the ceramic item I had started placing into a packing crate.

We had been going to school for a while when a new girl showed up. The moment Jasper saw her he fell to his knees. I knew right then that it wasn't my Jasper that was seeing her. It was The Major. And if he had been human? Then the toughest son of a bitch on the planet would have been crying! Finally it all made sense.

She was the missing piece of our domestic puzzle. This beautiful girl with her chocolate brown eyes, her casual wardrobe and her untamed tresses belonged to him as much as I did. But it wasn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows because the next moment, Edward attacked.

When the vision was over, my eyes returned to my surroundings and everyone was staring at me waiting to hear what I had seen. I needed to fix this. I needed to stop what was coming. Well at least Edward's role in things. "Change of plans. Edward, you need to go to Denali to stay with our family there while we are in Forks. There is a girl who will be moving there that you will kill if you don't." I said matter-of-factly.

"Alice, that's ridiculous! I have never accidentally killed anyone. Why would one particular girl have that kind of power over me?" he scoffed. He obviously hadn't been focused on reading my thoughts or he would have seen the vision.

"La tua cantante." I said.

Emmett laughed loudly. "Yeah, that'd do it. Even you couldn't resist that shit. Heck I doubt even Carlisle could! Alice is right, looks like you need to stay away Bro."

"Just for a while." I assured him. "She'll be one of us eventually and then it won't matter."

"Wait a second. Your solution to this is to turn her!? No way Alice! I can just live with the Denali coven until the family leaves Forks. She doesn't need to die for me either way!" Edward argued.

"No silly. She won't be turned for you. She's someone's mate. She'll be turned for him." I grinned like the cat who ate the canary.

"Alice, maybe you'd better tell us everything. Just exactly whose mate could this human girl be?" Carlisle asked.

I looked straight into Jasper's eyes when I spoke next. "She's The Major's mate Jazz." and immediately he knew what I meant. Of course, no one else did. Jasper never used his old title in front of the family. As much as he trusted them, it had been a matter of their safety and ours that no one from his past find out his identity. Needless to say, everyone was confused.

"I don't get it Alice. I'm only one person, how can I...?" he trailed off, clearly puzzled.

"Jazz, it's not unlike with humans and their dissociative identity disorder. Jasper Hale has Alice Cullen. But The Major has never been interested and admittedly I've never been brave enough. This girl must be made of some tough brass. I'm in awe of her already." I said, shaking my head.

And he knew I was right. He realized then what I had realized when I'd had the vision. He'd never been whole because I'd never been enough. But soon, everything would be perfect. Well, as long as we could keep Edward away from Forks that is.

And Jasper realized it at the same time I did. That was when, for the first time in a long time, The Major took over. Jasper's eyes darkened and his entire posture changed. The transformation was startling. He strolled purposefully over to Edward, grabbing him by the neck and looking him dead in the eyes.

"You will go to Denali. You will not come near the state of Washington until you are told that it is safe and I personally give you permission to return. You will not lay a hand on my mate and if you do… I will tear you into a thousand tiny pieces while leaving you head in tact so you get to watch your own body burn. Are we clear Edward?"

Edward nodded as emphatically as he could with The Major's hand around his neck. He seemed satisfied and released Edward. He remained standing but relaxed into an at ease stance, casually surveying the room.

Rosalie stood then. "Wait a minute. You're The Major? As in the badass vampire of legend that everyone who has ever heard of is deathly afraid of? How the heck did I not know this? I thought we were close." She said, looking disappointed.

"You and Jasper Hale are close. If any of you had known when I first came to you, that Major Jasper Whitlock resided in this body you all would have been in serious danger. In fact, even though so much time has passed, you still might be for finding out now. I completely closed myself off from that life in order to make a clean break from it, so unfortunately I have no idea how many of my old enemies might still be alive.

"I'll have to make a call soon and see what sort of Intel I can dig up. In the meantime, Carlisle can you contact the Denalis, let them know about Edward and that we'll be bringing him there on our way to Washington? I want to see them in person and get a handle on how strong their allegiance is. They'll be our closest allies and now that the cat is out of the bag, who knows what kind of trouble will be brewing." he said.

"I'll call them straight away. I have no doubt of their loyalty but a visit won't hurt, I'd like to see them anyway. They won't be our closest allies though, while we are in Forks. We also have a precarious allegiance with the Quileute tribe and there is a treaty in place with them. They have the inherent ability to Shapeshift. The gene is presumably activated by exposure to vampires. We'll have to meet with them when we get situated. I'm not sure if they have any wolves phasing right now, but if not they probably will soon after our arrival." Carlisle said.

"Alright, thank you Carlisle. And that could be a good thing having some shapeshifters on our side. We'll have to strengthen our allegiance with them as well. Think we could do that by strengthening their numbers for them? If proximity to vampires is what activates them, think they'd be amenable to us helping them raise an army? An army of wolves has a lot of advantages over an army of newborns."

Emmett looked at The Major when he said that. "What's the army for? Is there gonna be a war?" he asked, looking a little excited.

"Not a known one. But we have to prepare for any possible outcome of all this. There used to be three people who knew I was The Major. Now there is this entire coven, plus the clan in Denali will have to know in order to be of any use in this, plus the shape shifters because they'll be close enough to find out naturally.

"And if it were just me, it wouldn't be a problem. But not only do I have Alice and the rest of the family to look out for but soon a mate to protect as well? We'll need enough numbers on our side to ensure no harm comes to anyone.

"Carlisle can you let me know when you're finished your phone calls and have some time? I'd like to sit down with you and cover the specifics of this treaty with the Quileutes. I need to familiarize myself with it so I know just how much of a help it's going to be and how much of a hindrance."

The Major said. Carlisle nodded. "Yes, I'll be back within the hour and we can discuss it then." he said, leaving the room to make his calls.

"Alright. Well, I suppose you'd like to have your Jasper back until then wouldn't you lil' lady?" He asked me with a smirk.

"Yes please!" I nodded. And with that, The Major took an at ease stance and closed his eyes. He dropped his head and relaxed his shoulders as his posture changed, so did his demeanor. A few seconds later when he opened his eyes and raised them to me, it was clear my Jazzy was back at the reigns. "Eeeeeeep!" I squealed, running straight to him and jumping into his arms.

"Let's go for a hunt Sweetheart while we have the chance." He said, setting me down after a long kiss and taking my hand in his. I agreed and we ran off into the forest in search of sustenance. Thankfully The Major was still letting Jasper hunt. I had a feeling that if The Major was ever the one in control at feeding time, he'd be hunting a very different sort of prey!

AN: Well, what do we think so far?
