Chapter 9

JPov

We charged forward, each targeting a group of newborns. Victoria ran forward, Bella in her arms. Sam intercepted them and Bella was thrown to the ground. I ran towards her, determined not to let her go.

Bella mouthed to me "I love you."

This threw me completely off guard. Bella loved me. In my moment of elation I was surrounded.

With my years of experience I could easily fight the newborns away. It was what I saw next that pained me. Bella was gone. I looked around the clearing desperately trying to find my love. She was nowhere to be found. I had allowed myself to get distracted and had let her be taken away from me. How would she ever forgive me?

If she lives that is. The voice in the back of my head angered me. It was the major. The major, who hadn't shown himself since I left Maria. Logically I knew that the only way I stood a chance of getting Bella back was to let the major out. His years of experience would help me get my mate back.

As the major escaped his cage I barely registered another group of vampires enter the clearing. Panic rose in me, I didn't think the wolves would survive this. I turned, and I sighed in relief at what I saw. It was Peter, my brother, with his mate Charlotte and a group of vampires I had allowed to escape from Maria's army. They had all vowed to return the favour, and this was their way, to help me save my mate.

I sprung into action, beheading any newborn that stood in my path, heading directly for Edward.

He was currently fighting with Paul, who I knew wanted to get him back for leaving Bella.

The fight was fast. Edward had been able to see what Paul would do in his mind. With the major, his thoughts were purely instinctual, too fast for Edward to register.

I ripped his limbs from his body. Before removing his head, I ran through every image in my mind of the moments me and Bella had shared. Jealously surged within him as Paul ripped his head from his body and threw it straight into the fire.

I scanned the field. With Peter's arrival we were easily winning this war.

I heard a scream from the side of the clearing. Alice had realised Edward was dead. She launched herself at Leah, who was fighting a pair of newborns. Alice tore at Leah's flesh, making her scream in pain. Charlotte ran to deal with the newborns as I pulled Alice away. I removed her limbs just as I had done with Edward then held her body out to allow Leah to make the fatal blow.

As Alice's head fell to the ground I couldn't bring myself to mourn her loss. I had spent half of my life with her, yet she no longer meant anything to me.

Knowing that Peter and the wolves had everything under control I ran.

Only a few minutes had passed since Victoria had taken Bella away so the scent should have been fresh. The problem was that there was no scent there. I ran a few hundred meters in each direction, trying to sniff out the scent that was Bella. It wasn't there.

I turned to take my anger out on the surrounding trees. I had let my mate be captured. I had allowed for her to be ripped away from me when she needed me most. What sort of a mate was I?

I heard footsteps behind me. As I turned to destroy whoever it was that was disturbing me, the footsteps slowed and Peter stepped out for behind one of the trees I hadn't managed to destroy.

Knowing that Peter wouldn't hurt me I let my defences down slightly, the Major still in control.

"She got away Pete. I let her take my Bella away."

"There was nothing you could've done Major." Peter attempted to console me.

""We need to head back, gather whoever survived. I have to find her. The scents just disappeared. Use your gift Pete. Where did they go? Where did she take my Bella?" I looked, slightly pleadingly into Peters eyes. It was then that I noted the sorrow, regret and despair.

"Jasper I'm sorry, I tried. Bella completely disappeared from any 'feeling' I got. The redhead is still in the visions but there's no Bella anymore."

I froze.

No Bella.

She couldn't have gone.

My Bella was dead.

It was all my fault.

Dead.

Gone forever.

Despair ripped through me and I fell to my knees.

"Peter, she has to be alive. She can't be…she can't."

I completely broke down, sobbing on the forest floor.

"I'm so sorry Jasper." My brother engulfed me in a hug.

I heard more footsteps. It was Jared and Charlotte. Charlotte ran towards me, wrapping me in her arms as I sobbed.

"J, it's gonna be okay. You'll be okay." She whispered.

"What's wrong? What's happened?" Jared asked. After a moment, realisation swept through him. "No, not Bella, not my little sister. She can't be!"

Within seconds he had gone back to his wolf form.

My eyelids became heavy and my head was spinning. I heard a chorus of howls from the wolves before my body slumped and I completely blacked out.

Don't hate me! This isn't the end yet! I'll update as soon as I can :) sorry for all the cliffhangers :)
