A/N: Read this before you start!

Now, I'm not a Twilighter by nature and some of you may not like the uncanonical things in this story. But I can't say for sure because everything is up to the reader. Your reviews will control Jasper and Bella's fate.

P.S. Bella is OOC, I think. But it's not set in stone since things will change depending on reviews.

Prologue

She must run, always run, without a moment's hesitation. She must always be on the move, never daring to stay in one place for longer than a few days. Taking refuge at night and moving during the day, for her pursuers could chase even faster in the darkness, she traveled from one busy city to another. Occasionally, she would pass through cloudy little towns on her way back from a hunt. Human witnesses provided security. Capture meant certain death.

During the past two months she had left the continent on 24 occasions and had crossed the border, legally and illegally, twice as many times. Yet she always returned to America. So she could watch over Renee and Charlie, at least from afar; they were even more vulnerable to attack than was she.

Or HE for that matter.

For Bella Swan was constantly accompanied by another. A man she loved so deeply she had sacrificed everything for him. Her friends, her family, even her life. She had harbored a secret passion for him for so long and acted on it. She had set out to enamor him and had succeeded. All without the others knowledge.

Him! She thought angrily, wearily leaning her head against her lovers shoulder, refusing to even think his name and wishing she could hunt.

Because of him they did not have a moment's peace, existing on stray dogs, fearful of killing anything larger that might attract their attention, and picking pockets so they could travel the human way. Forever wearing a disguise. Yet for all the inconveniences she had endured for months and would no doubt suffer for years she would not have changed her decision for the world. Even while fleeing from hunters promising horrible retribution her short time with her one true soul mate had been the best period of her life. Bella had her eyes closed, appearing to doze to human eyes, but really resisting the urge to kill.

The train gradually slowed to a stop.

"We're here love." Jasper Cullen whispered in her ear.
