Raven/Jasabella's Pov:

I sat on the bed next to Jasper, feeling myself bubble over. I couldn't help but think of how he looked in my minds eye. We lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, talking. Well I wasn't looking at the ceiling since I was blind at the moment. Not yet got my color.

"Why does Alice have to this party. I love parties, somewhat but this is over the top for a birthday," I said.

He shrugged and held my hand, sending shivers down my spine. "It's Alice. How are we to explain that?"

I got closer to him and soon he was hovering over me, breathing in my face. I felt my face heat up and my hand was still in his. I almost stopped breathing.

"Not so sure."

He smiled and kissed my forehead. I let out a breathy laugh. My breathing became shallow and my heart beat faster. Being a Jagged helped none with my hormones. He was just so close and I had the urge to kiss him.

"That's what I thought." He got up and dragged me with him. I smiled and fixed my dress. It was Bella's birthday party and we had to look nice because Alice said so. He lead me through the house even though all but one element helped me find my way. I laughed when I heard Emmett trip.

"Alice! Do you have to?"

Alice's tinkling laughter reached my ears. "Yes."

"Shush. Edward's almost hear," Carlisle barked.

I laughed and stood next to Carlisle, kissing his cheek. "Calm down little brother. Bella can't hear us."

"You're always right Jasabella," Carlisle said with a smile.

I smiled and moved to sit on the love seat. The door opened and I could see. My eyes must have been golden with excitement. Rosalie was wearing a tight red dress with red heels, her blond hair cascading in curls down her back and over her shoulders. Alice had her copper spiky hair going everywhere while she wore a deep purple with black heels. Esme's hair was in a bun and she wore a long, flowing beige dress and you couldn't see her heals. The guys were in simple clothes, nice ones, yet casual. All button down.

"Happy Birthday," we yelled.

They moved forward while I sat,m waiting for Bella to some to me. She was my Mal Tin Yeynta so of course we were excited to see each other. She came up to me and hugged me.

"Hope you enjoy Bella," I whisper and let her go back to Edward.

I smile and go stand next to her. I stay next to her and then the next thing I know it's present time. I smile as she picks up gift after gift. I open mine for her and give her a bracelet to match mine. She hugs me and picks up Edwards gift. I squeeze her shoulders and wait for her to open them. Then it happened.

If I were a vampire it would have been hard to resist, Bella cut herself. I looked quickly to Jasper, then to Edward. Jasper was running towards us and Edward moved to push Bella. I was glad I was a Jagged because I quickly pulled Bella out of the way and Edward growled when he pushed air. I cut myself and moved the air so it would calm the others.

Edward looked at Bella sadly and I bent down and looked at her cut. I smiled at her and blushed. "Sorry about this, but at least no more blood."

I lifted her hand to my lips and sucked a little of her blood. Even though I wasn't a vampire it was delicious. I then licked her finger and kissed it lightly. I smiled and wiped her hand and there was no cut.

"How did you do that?"

"We have a connection. I can do that."

Carlisle stepped forward and I suddenly turned blind. I didn not want to go through Carlisle's constant questions about my kind. I shook my head and lead Bella to Edward, eying him.

"Your call."

He nodded and lead Bella home. I shook my head and connected minds with Jasper, hoping to find something on what Edward was feeling at that moment.

Nothing Jasabella. He's just shocked. I growled and nodded. Calm down.

I gave him a look and quickly went upstairs to change. I picked up my basketball shorts and tank top, changed into them, and went back down stairs. I plunked down on the love seat next to Emmett.

"She's got potent blood," he mumbled.

"Yeah," I said. "But that doesn't mean anything."

He nodded and I got an apple. I ate it happily and tossed the rest outside. I looked out and saw Edward's depressed face. I sighed and got up.

Do I have to cheer him up every time?

I walked with him to his room and sat on the edge of the bed. "You know you're my brother right?"

He nodded. I frowned and he opened his mouth. "Right."

"And you know Bella and this family loves you right?"

"Yeah."

"So cheer up before I beat your ass till you get bruised."

"We can't get bruises."

I smirked. "Exactly."

I walked out of the room and heard laughter. I looked at everyone downstairs and nodded. Rosalie came up to me and high fived me. I was a little shocked but I didn't give it a thought.

"Oh. That's good. I wish I came up with that myself."

"Carlisle knows," I said tilting my head to look at him.

"Do not remind me. I was 10 and I broke her present for father and she said those exact words to me. Then she really did it."

I laughed, remembering. "Good times."

Carlisle made a noise and I ignored it. My mind flashed to what happened, the look on Edward's face. Something wasn't right. I could feel it deep inside of me. I listened to see if I needed to be in the conversation and read Alice's thoughts. I delved deeper to where her visions were and watched for Edward's.

Edward looking at the still hot stove. The fire was out but that didn't mean it wasn't warm still. He stepped forward and placed his wrist on it, screaming. He was punishing himself for putting Bella in danger.

I jerked up and I felt their stares on me. I nodded to them. "Need to do something."

I felt Leo move to get up but I gestured himself to sit back down and I jogged upstairs. I burst into Edward's room and entered his mind.

You are not going to punish yourself over this!

He shook his head. "It's my fault."

"Let it go! I said be happy or I'm going to beat you till you bruise. I mean it. I'll have Carlisle come in here and feed me, give me water... You don't even want to know what I'll do for the bathroom."

I heard laughter downstairs but Edward knew I was being serious. I wasn't going to let him punish himself for what he thought was his fault.

"I'm going to go train Leo. Get you're act together before I get back."

I storm downstairs and walk with Leo out of the house. My mind fluttered to Crow. How could he betray us? He was my best friend and he stabbed me in the heart. I couldn't stop Leo's training now.

"Alright. Let's get started."

After hours of training we go back to the house and Leo shifts into the form of a wolf. I pet him and I'm completely blind from exhaustion. I feel someone's arms wrap around me and I don't bother to see who it is. I shift into my leopard form and lay limp in their arms.

"Jeez Raven. Is it so hard to stay in human form?"

I can't tell who's voice it is but I breath deeply and let myself go partially human, fur covering me completely but I was in human shape (Think Thundercats). I felt my weight get shifted and I was laid somewhere. My eyes open into slits and I see Jasper.

"Thanks," I say, half asleep. "Love you."

I slip into the recesses of the sleeps darkness.

Jasper's Pov:

I freeze and look at Raven. She really said she loves me, but I have no idea what type she means. I sigh and turn out the lights and walk downstairs. I look at Emmett, Edward, and Carlisle. They have a knowing look in their eyes. I growl and throw the first soft thing that touches my hand.

"Leo!"

I feel my eyes widen and then before I can react he's in his human form, crouched and glaring at me with red eyes. I shift nervously and look upstairs. I do not want to face Raven's wrath about me throwing Leo across the room.

"What was that?"

"I- um... I just needed something to throw at them," I say honestly, not wanting him to ask why.

"And you couldn't have grabbed a pillow?"

I shift and avoid his gaze. Believe it or not Jaggeds are very fierce and not good people to mess with. Or in my case throw.

"I didn't know. Forgive me?"

I pout and send a wave of submission. I make sure it's not too powerful otherwise he'd know I were influencing him into forgiving me. He sighs and waves at me.

"Forget it. Just don't do it again."

I smile and sit next to Alice. She feels depressed and dark. I tilt my head and give Edward a look. He mouths the name I really wish he wouldn't. Crow.

"Alice. You can't pin after someone who tries to hurt family."

She looked away from me. I grab her hand. We may not be mates, but besides Raven, no one knows me better. I know her almost as much as I know myself. She looks at me.

"I know. But... It's so hard when you're..."

She gets a blank look. I look at her and her mood lightens when she comes out of her vision. I send some calm into her before she jumps around and breaks Esme's new walls.

"Crow's not my soul mate... It's a-"

Her mood drops. I look into her eyes. "A what?"

"A... type of shifter... I don't know what yet." She glances at Leo's sleeping form.

I feel myself going into shock. I glance at the others and they hold the same shock on their faces as I do. Does she know how young he is? He's only... what? 7? 10? How could she?

"It's not like that. I can wait."

I think about all the times he's been close to her and all the times she to him. It made a lot of sense but it didn't excuse the fact that Leo was young. I looked at Alice and search her eyes. She will wait. I nod my head slowly.

"She means it."

She sends a look of relief towards me before moving to sit on the floor with Leo. He scoots closer in his sleep as though he knows his other half is there. I shake my head and head for the door. Rosalie walks up to me.

"Let's go."

I nod, happy that Rosalie would join me on my hunt. I run with her into the woods for our next meal.

?'s Pov:

I lean against the building in the alleyway and await for the Jagged. I growl when I see Macavity, my anger boiling. He shouldn't be so late.

"You're late."

"Sorry, but gathering information is difficult work."

I scowl at him and cross my arms. "What do you know?"

"Raven's Mal Tin Yeynta might be in danger, not because of us, but because of her vampires."

I nod. I understand that human's blood is irresistible to vampires and before long Raven will be distraught that he Mal Tin Yeynta is dead, and her vampires and herself cannot change her. She'll have lost part of her soul forever.

"Perfect," I purr.

Raven/Jasabella's Pov: (day before Edward tells Bella they were leaving)

I sit there, stroking Leo. At the moment I'm blind and I listen to Jasper and Emmett play some game that I don't care about at the moment. Edward's been so distant and everyone's stayed home for the past few days. I decide to go into Edward's mind. He's obviously thinking of Bella's birthday, but then something blocks me from his mind,

When the hell did he learn to do that? I think with a hum.

The air shifts as Esme sits next to me and hands me a plate of food. I pick it up and take a bite. It's pizza. I thank her and try and pry into Edward's mind but it doesn't work. I narrow my eyes in frustration and there are blurry shadows. I've gotten a red tinge in my eyes.

I get up and take Leo out for some training. Leo fights hard and almost beats me in a sparring match. I'm so proud of him. If only my sister were here to see this. I look at the sky while I walk with Leo, though I see nothing and feel nothing on my face but rain.

Why'd you have to go? I sigh, knowing I won't get an answer. I lay on the couch after I walk in, using my natural ability with the elements to evaporate the water off of me and Leo. I listen once more to Jasper and Emmett play whatever. I try to sense Edward's mind but he's gone.

"How long were we out there?"

Jasper shifts the air, probably turning his head towards me. "A day."

I sigh, feeling Edward's mind opening in the garden. I go inside and see something. He imagines himself walking in another town without Bella, how happy Bella will be much happier if he weren't there. I feel my eyes widen. Before I can get up and react Edward's gone. I growl in frustration and run towards the scent I've been looking for blows in.

Macavity. I shift into a tiger's form and I saw the world around me tinted in red. Nothing mattered at that moment then in about two point 5 seconds I couldn't move, couldn't breath, couldn't do anything but feel a great sadness overwhelming me. My mind goes to what Edward was thinking only a few seconds ago.

He did it. He left Bella and her emotions are over whelming me... Damn it Edward. Then blackness silently crept over me, leaving me human and vulnerable.

Jasper's Pov:

I saw her freeze and collapse. Worry overwhelmed me. What was wrong? Why was she like this? I didn't bother to ask when I picked her up and ran her home.

"What's wrong with Raven?" Leo cried, holding his aunts hand.

I shook my hand and looked around for Carlisle. Apparently he was in his studies. I took her up there and he stiffened. His emotions were all over the place before they landed on cold fear for her. I sent a wave of calm so he would be able to help. Normally Carlisle wasn't one to worry and have fear, but when he had it it was blasts.

"What happened?"

I shrugged, tired of being asked. I mean how the hell should I know what happened to her after I found her passing out? I mean come on, I don't know everything.

She stirred and mummered something I couldn't hear correctly. My heart ached and she opened her eyes and they were a milky white. I shook shook her a little and tried letting her stand on her own. She fell into my arms and I put her in Carlisle's chair. I knelt in front of her and repeated her name countless times when Carlisle picked her up and carried her away.

"It's time to go."

I nodded and went with him. I glared at the floor in frustration. I couldn't save her from whatever this was. I couldn't do anything.

Months pasted and she spoke only when spoken directly to, she hardly ate a thing, and she trained Leo only a little. I felt my heart dying because she was so distant. Apparently Edward was feeling the same way because he left Bella, only enhancing my pain. I sobbed in my room after Raven went to sleep. I would only stop when I had to go to school, and when I had to calm her nightmares. I couldn't leave her alone for long.

"Bella... Bella!" She yelled.

I ceased my sobbing and went into her room. I held her and send her calm waves, hoping it helped. I still felt fear coming from her but it lessened. I couldn't keep this up... I missed her.

"Jasper."

I looked at Leo and Rosalie. "What?"

"We're worried for you. You have to hunt."

I looked down. She was calm. I nodded and went on my hunt, holding back the sobs that were trying to come out. I pushed it into my throat and went into the woods.

Jasabella/Raven's Pov:

I felt nothing. I was sitting downstairs, watching something without watching something with Edward when I felt the sadness and overwhelming pain snap free. I was my own person again. I felt anger come over and as I looked at Edward's bowed bronze head. How could he leave Bella like that? How could he do this to her?

I lunged at him with a feral growl ripping through the air. Something held my back for only a second before I ripped through their grip to strangle Edward and dig my already extended claws into his soft, pale flesh.

"How could you do that to her? Why?" I screamed in agony.

"To pro-protect her," he choked out.

"Protect her? You only hurt her! I outta-" I was cut off by a hand jerking me away. "No! Let me make him hurt."

"He's already hurting," Carlisle said.

I drooped my head and stopped fighting. What was the point in fighting when there was a chance that Edward would change his mind. Bella could have the love of her life back. I let Carlisle drag me into his office. I wanted to cry for Bella, make Edward change his mind and we go back.

"I miss her. It hurts."

Carlisle hugged me close and let my soak his shirt. He stroked my hair and I was reminded of when we were younger. I used to do this when father had gotten drunk and he let grief overcome him. I would comfort him... only I sa-.

His voice became song. I cried harder. I used to sing to him... when did our roles reverse? When was he the strong one, when had I become the one that needed comfort? I hugged tighter and looked up at him.

"You have your old blue eyes back," Carlisle whispered, kissing my cheek. "We all miss her, and we've missed you."

My heart hurt. I hurt my family. I kissed my brother and wiped my tears away, putting on a brave face. I was going to make sure my family would get through this.

"I'm back now."

I walked downstairs to silence. Esme was fixing some flowers, Emmett was on the floor, looking at the ceiling, Rosalie sat on the floor while stroking his hair. I looked into te kitchen. Alice was leaning against the counter, having a vision.I didn't bother to look.

"Where's Jasper?"

Rosalie looked up and pointed to the screen door. I felt something warm against my leg. I looked at Leo as a wolf. I pet his head and entered his mind. He was worried that I was still in depression.

I'm fine Leo. What's wrong with them? I looked at the rest of the family.

They're upset about,leaving Bella and you being depressed... I was too... I pet him some more then stopped.

No need to be now.

I huffed and went to my room. How could I bring some life to these vampires? No pun intended. I shook my head and layed down and stared at the ceiling. I felt grief grip me. I missed the way things used to be... laid back and fun.

I shot up and smiled. "Leo I got an idea..."

A little later Jasper came back and I smiled. Everyone was home. I got seats out and set them in the lawn. I nodded to Leo. Our plan should work if everything went as planned.

I got the Cullens to sit in the lawn and I couldn't help but get excited. I could see and I stepped in front of them with a straight face, though my eyes decieved me.

"Welcome," I began. "Tonight you're going to witness something my kind do on very special occasions. This seemed like the perfect time to do something like this."

I stepped to the side and nodded to Leo. He knew what to do. I let a flame dance in my hand and turned it into the right colors before letting it let a slgith mist come in front of the water and the combination formed an image.

I heard slight gasps but I concentrated on making the fire sing and whisper things so it sounded like it talked for them.

The scene before us was that of a girl, blowing bubbles. She laughed and looked at a little boy that was standing there. She asked him if he needed to go home. He said he didn't becaue he didn't have one. She hugged him and told him that he'd alawys have a home with her.

Later he went to war and didn't come back for years. She gave up on him and was about to accept the proposal of another man when he came back.

I was going to get to the part when he was killing the fiance for almost killing the girl when the familiar smell caught in my nose. I let the fire die quickly and Leo made the water splash.

"Get them inside," I whispered.

Leo rounded up the Cullens and shoves them inside. I crouched and listened out for him. a twig snapped and I leapt towards him. I pinned him and he smiled.

"Good girl. You're learning."

He shoved me and I flew.

Damn.

Ali: I hope you liked it.

Edward: It's good for a first chapter.

Ali: Thanks.

Edward: Read and REview!
