Jasper Kills Bella (sort of) and Joins the Volturi
Accidentally of course.
Geesh! I was hungry. What do they want from me, perfectionism?! I do my best. I give them 100 percent almost all the time. I don't know what they expect and seriously? What the HECK is their problem!! They're overreacting. All of them! Even Alice, i had hoped at least the love of my life would understand, but oh NO! She's all
ALICE: -tearfully- JASPER!! What have you done?? This is -sob- terrible!! How are we going to tell Edward! I should have stopped you... This is all our fault! Oh Jasper!
As much as i hate to see her sad i supposed this was one of those vampurist, never hurt a soul vegetarian things Emmett talks about when he's feeling retrospective, type things that i could never understand. I tried to calm Alice down, to make her feel less concerned. The usual when my family worries about something. That was the thing. I couldn't. Not one of the perks of being a monster. I couldn't control my thoughts. Or her emotions. Or anyone else's.
She was bursting with sorrow, confusion, concern...disappointment. They all were. Except maybe Edward. His was more red-hot fury. (
Honestly? I think they were making too big a deal out of all of this. The fact that I couldn't even calm down the troops, it really wasn't helping matters. They blow everything out of proportion. I noted this while the Cullens, my family, all gathered around the poor unfortunate body of poor unfortunate Bella. Well that's what happens when you mess with the undead, sweetheart...
Edward cast me a gaze that would have caused the best of troops to wave a white flag. Sometimes i wish he could mind his own thoughtness, but he 'can't help' it. Well Edward, some of us 'can't help' our hunger. I gaze calmly back shaking my head and feeling frustrated. Carlisle's working fast, Esme and Alice are near tears, and for once there's nothing i can do about it. Rosalee sulks muttering something about knowing this would happen. Then my Alice, Ha!, she comes back all mad and tells Rose if anyone should have known it was her, so Rose should stop it! Emmett had melted into the backdrop. For once he really didn't seem to know what to say to make things all better. He just knelt next to Edward.
Still i don't understand. I look down at Isabella Swann, soon to be Cullen, and try to figure out what everyone must be thinking. Edward only knows it must be bad. I mean i understand the importance of being strict, and giving people breaks, isn't always necessary. After all the people I've hurt I've never deserved a second chance, but come on!
Bella's not that dead.
What? I said i got hungry didn't i? I may have lost some control over myself, but it's not as if i murdered Edward's beloved, betrothed. There's really no reason for them to go all psycho on me. Right? And yet here we are. -Ahem- Edward, can't you see I'm busy talking to myself? You of all people... Oh now you're mad at me. O Well then. I'm a vampire too, mister! I have fangs and everything...oh wait. No it doesn't. -sobs-
EDWARD CULLEN: -angrily- Jasper i could kill you. -growls-
Ha, I'd like to see him try. Sure it could prove difficult, since he can read my mind... but...
EDWARD: You just KILLED HER and all you can think about is battle strategies?!
He means are Battle Strategies.
EDWARD: On second thought Jaz i think i shall kill you! I trusted you with my Bella, my heart and soul, my reason for not living and you killed her!!
ME: -sigh- Only a little bit. She'll survi- Wait no. Huh, I can see where this could make you slightly angry...
That was a lie.
EDWARD: -is about to try to kill me- I HATE YOU, Jasper! But I doubt you care about that either!! You selfish son of a were-
ESME: EDWARD! Not in front of the kids! Now both of you! Don't fight!
BOTH OF US: Why?
ESME: We're in the house. You could break something. You know the family rules:
ALL 3 OF US: -rolling our eyes- Take it outside.
ESME: -nods approvingly- Yes.
So Edward and I ran faster than sound to our backyard.
EDWARD: -grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!-
ME: It was an accident.
EDWARD: No, you see, trusting you, inviting you into our family, letting you be around Bella. That was the accident.
That stings. Edward always does know just what to say.
ME: You were planning to do this ANYWAY. I saved you the trouble.
Or the pleasure as the case may be. Why am i so mean in my thoughts?
