I just had this idea growing like a bamboo plant in my mind, and it was just one of my frequent daydreams (I have so many that if I wrote them all, I would be writing for years on end. And since I get more every day, I'd be writing long after I was dead) but it ended up getting so detailed and complex that I just had to make it real. Depending on how many reviews I get; how well it is received, I might make it a series. I have always had a thing for BxJ stories. He's so yummy XD

Jasper POV

We fought ferociously with the pack. It had been just another night; coming out to train with the wolves, practicing for the next time we were undoubtedly attacked by a rogue pack or some sadistic vampires who wanted to kill Bella. We trained like this once a month. We knew all the wolves' weaknesses – but they knew ours.

And our biggest one? Bella.

Backtracking. We had come out as usual to train and fight, when Edward gasped suddenly, and automatically locked his arms around Bella as he glared at the wolves (the pack had grown to eleven strong, powerful wolves) in shock and disbelief. I saw Sam, the obvious leader, shoot a glance at Jacob. My power kicked in and I cringed at the overwhelming guilt, sadness, and fury that Jacob was feeling. Immense hate was directed at the whole pack, but especially Sam. I turned to Edward, but as soon as the question was formed in my mind, he answered.

"They are wiping us out because they don't want any more trouble with vampires ever. After James and Victoria, they know the Volturi will be worse. They think if they kill us it will erase the problem. They decided that they need to kill Bella as well since she is one of us," explained Edward furiously. He hissed quietly. "Jacob is furious. He agrees to a point, but nothing would make him want to kill Bella."

I glanced at Jacob and he was staring at Bella in longing and incredible, incredible guilt and sadness. I cringed slightly and Alice patted my arm.

Sam howled, and we all tensed. All pretences of friendliness were gone. Even ever-diplomatic Carlisle was looking murderous. We all crouched and fanned ourselves instinctively into a loose circle around Bella, and Edward who was clutching her.

Without warning, the fight began.

That's how we came to be fighting ferociously with the pack. Sadly, we were losing, and things were starting to look more than a little desperate. I saw out of the corner of my eye, Bella being pushed roughly against a tree by Edward who was frantically ducking out and striking at the two werewolves attacking him, then flicking back to Bella. He shot several furtive glances back to her as he fought. She was staring mutely at him, and the werewolves who I recognised as Paul and Leah.

Bella was feeling fear and betrayal. I had a sudden urge to pull her into my arms and comfort her. I shook my head; brotherly love, I told myself. Edward was too preoccupied with the fight to notice my thoughts and for that I was grateful.



I tried unsuccessfully to turn my attention back to the fight, but my attention kept unconsciously wavering back to Bella. Then everything was gone, replaced by the image in front of me. Carlisle was being torn to shreds by three wolves as Esme screamed for him desperately. She was attacked from behind by Sam and ripped apart. I shrieked in agony and went forwards intending to crush every bone in Sam's body, my fury electrifying my legs and clenching my muscles. Then I heard another keening and I whipped around.

Emmett had just been shredded by the same wolves that had destroyed Carlisle. Rosalie's immense agony at that overflowed her being and she lost herself. She was a blur even to my sight as she ripped the wolf's head from his body and disgusting blood spurted all over her. She screamed again as Jacob pinned her and wrecked her. My sister was being pulled apart before my eyes.

Then it was my turn. Jared and Embry were hurtling towards me. I braced myself and glanced for Alice. She was snapping Quil's neck with savage satisfaction, then she turned to me in horror and also flew towards me. I returned my attention to Jared and swept out of his way, lashing out to his neck with my foot as he barrelled past. It snapped, and I leapt over him to do the same to Embry. He had not been much of a challenge.

Alice joined me and we both turned towards Edward and Bella. We both screamed at the same time.

Edward had defeated Leah and Paul against all odds, but Jacob and Sam had forced him from the edge of the trees and he clutched Bella behind his back as he stared at them in shock. They were the last werewolves left alive, and we were the last vampires. I heard a shriek from beside me and I realised that with my attention distracted, Jacob had taken Alice in a pounce and they were both flying away from me.

Horror filled me as I saw my beloved fighting to the death against a huge wolf and then twin screams drew my attention. Edward's head was rolling away from his collapsed body and Bella was screaming for him. The tears stained her perfect face as Sam turned to face her, malice alive in his eyes that I had never thought I would see there. As Sam leapt towards Bella, I heard the unmistakable thud of my love's body hitting the ground behind me and I had two choices. Save my love or save my sister.

I acted on instinct.

My teeth bared and my venom dripped as I launched myself in a deadly leap towards Sam.
