AN: So this isn't going to be a story as of yet, but this is my first time playing with time travel.

Summary: Time is a fragile thing, one tear can disrupt the universe in a matter of seconds. Bella is transported during her change to Dallas Texas, 1893, smack dab in the middle of the Southern Vampire Wars. She meets a very different Jasper, one that just might capture her heart. What will be left of the future?

Bella always thought death would be painless and quick, but it was slow and torturous. She was burning, her insides on fire. Her teeth grinded against one another, fingers gripping at the ice cold snow, Edward's pained voice coaxing her, apologizing.

He never meant for her to get hurt, never meant to get so sidetracked. Edward didn't even see this other vampire coming. Bella's lips wobbled as she tried not to scream. She wouldn't show pain.

Bella tried running her life through her mind, shifting through every human moment, good or bad, clutching her human memories close. "We need to move her now." Edward's voice was muffled, like he was under water. "No, the cool environment might soothe her, it'll be a relief to her skin." Jasper's cool voice sent a string of memories through her brain, his tale of the vampire army. The brutal deaths and pain. Blood.

She couldn't stop her mind from replaying his words over and over again. The images flashed behind her brain like a movie, words becoming distorted.

I was the youngest major in the Calvary

Bella's hands curled in the snow, her back arching, a blood curdling scream left her lips. As her back slammed down on the ice cold ground, her eyes snapped open, meeting a pair of gold ones.

None like her Edward's, these eyes were calculated and worried, but wise. "Breathe." He whispered. "It'll be over soon." Bella's eyes fluttered closed, blonde hair swaying with the wind.

Bella burned for only one day, surrounded by the Cullen's, save for Edward, who was having a hard time coping with Bella's sudden immortality, until she disappeared from sight.

They had never seen anything so strange and wondered what powers were at play. It didn't take long for Alice to get a glimpse, surprised that she could've missed such a decision.

"This is Aro's doing. He's acquired a vampire with a unique gift of time travel, only that the time period depends on the thoughts of who they're sending back determines when they go to. Why would he…"

She trailed off once more, her eyes zoning out. "Alice. What is it?" Jasper stepped in her line of vision, brows drawn. "There were some side effects. While Aro honed in on us specifically, which I still don't understand why, only a person with blood in their veins can actually move through time. Bella's molecular structure makes up that compound since her heart was still beating. The only question is what was she thinking about?"

1893 (30 years after Jasper was changed)

Bella's gasped, sucking in a deep breath. She blinked her eyes open, her eyes widening slowly as she looked down at the ground, nothing but gravel, and large boots walking in a direction that seemed to lead to nowhere.

She felt an ice cold arm wrapping itself tightly around her waist, and Bella leaned her head back to look at the vampire that had her in its clutches. She wasn't tall enough to catch his face, but she got a glimpse of his hair, and it was strikingly familiar.

She shivered as the air seemed to shift drastically, thundering sounds that she could only describe as vampires reached her ears. Off to her left was a large area, with a dark wooden cabin off to the side.

There were maybe 30 vampires all fighting one another, or rather one in particular. His form was familiar to Bella, his size and hair reminding her of something akin to safety. As the vampire shifted his gaze, turning his head just a few inches to the right, Bella let out a small gasp, her mouth uttering his name so softly she was sure no one would hear her. "Jasper.."

The vampire tensed under her hold, and while the vampire that looked to be Jasper didn't turn towards her directly, his eyes snapped to her briefly, and it was like ice water was dumped on her head. His vibrant red eyes glowed under the cold coverage, eyeing her. Unable to determine if she was a threat or something else.

Before Bella could process what was going on, the scene around her blurred, before it all changed. She was suddenly right side up, on her own two feet in a barn. A vampire stood across from her in the corner, eyeing her with scrutiny. Bella thought she'd be shaking up a storm, but for some reason she knew this vampire wouldn't hurt her.

He wasn't looking at her like he wanted something to eat. He tilted his head at her, removing the hat she barely took notice of. She realized he seemed familiar because of his hair, while short, had the same honey blonde color that Jasper had, his hair less curlier, but curled at the ends nonetheless.

"Well I'll be damned." He drawled lowly, his accent giving Bella a general clue of where she could be. "I've been waiting a mighty long time for ya suga'." Bella frowned and looked around the barn, peaking through the slacks to look outside. "Where am I?" She asked, looking back to the vampire. "Texas." He answered, watching her some more.

He already knew her next question as she glanced at his clothing. "1893." Bella just stared at him, looking him in the eyes, searching for a lie. She knew he was telling the truth though, the Jasper she saw wasn't the one she remembered. "Why am I here? I was in the middle of...what's happening?" She asked, back away from the door and towards the middle of the room. "What do you mean you've been waiting?"

Bella was slowly starting to panic, her heart rate only rising, breathing becoming short and fast. "Easy there." He moved forward slowly, laying his hands on her shoulders. He tried to look as non threatening as possible, meeting her big brown eyes. He felt some sympathy at the lost look in her eyes. "I don't know why ya here, but I have been waiting on ya. I know yer not from here, from this place, this time. I have a gift, and it told me about ya. A human who'd have knowledge of this world but not of this place, one who'd know the Major by name, the key to freedom."

Bella swallowed, looking to this vampire, believing every word. "I don't know what that means. I don't….Jasper leaves this place...in..oh god."

It was like the concept of time was finally catching up to her, the realization setting in that her future, her life, didn't exist. "50 to 55 years from now."

She ran a hand through her hair, frowning. "What's ya name sugar?" He asked, sweeping her hair away from her neck. Bella let out a shaky breath, her lips trembling. "Bella." She whispered.

"The name's Peter. It's lovely to meet ya darlin'." He whispered soft, coaxing her slowly to relax. "I don't want to die Peter." She closed her eyes, trembling underneath his hands. "I mean...I won't be born for almost 100 years...and I don't want to not...exist. But I also don't want to exist here… in this time."

Peter tilted her head sideways. "I know. This is hell. In all honesty Bella, this is war, and you've got to be one tough son of a bitch to take it. I have a good feeling about you. Can you hold out for 50 years?" He asked her, wrapping an arm around her waist to keep her still.

Bella swallowed, grasping his arm, a human attempt to stop the inevitable. She nodded, screwing her eyes shut. "I'll look after you, if you look after him." He promised before sinking his teeth into her neck, her body locking up in his hold.
