I crouched in the field, my hands on my ear. The screeching was too much this close. A familiar laugh echoed through out the field, most likely Emmett had killed both his newborns.
I was told to shut my eyes and block it all out. It was working perfectly until I heard the scream I had only heard once, of a man who had given me his life.
The screech that followed was too loud, too real for me. It was scary. I heard a scream that sounded like a 14 year old girls, then everything was black.

"Carlisle, why isn't she awake yet?" I frowned. The voice was not velvet. "Edward?" I mouthed his name. If Alice were here she would have answered. "Alice?"
No answer. "Pick her up, Jasper." Carlisle instructed. No, I wanted Edward! "B-but Carlisle sh- she's bleeding." It was the same voice that woke me up.
"Wheres Edward?" Someone snorted. "Shut up Rosalie."I hissed. It was a more quiet whisper, directed to where the snort came from.
"Sleep, Bella." Jasper whispered. My eyes never opened, so I had serious doubts I could disobey that command.
Jaspers point of view
"You can't go." I whispered, kissing her for the last time. "I'm sorry. I must. It's not about choices anymore, Jasper. Its life or death. Just do whatever you can to stay happy."
The she left, with that bitch traitor holding her hand. How could he do this to us? To me? To Bella? It was his idea!
I looked down at her. When Jane attacked Edward, she heard his screams and passed out. "Carlisle, why isn't she awake yet?" Bella frowned.
"Edward." She said it so softly the wind almost stole it away. "Alice." she must have heard Alice scream when Edwards arm was ripped off, showing her 'true' love.
She was cheating on you, Jasper.The little voice inside my head mocked.
"Pick her up, Jasper." Carlisle instructed. I gaped at him. "B-but Carlisle sh- she's bleeding." Bella stirred in pain.
"Wheres Edward?" She was still half sleep talking. Rosalie snorted. "Shut up Rosalie." Bella snapped in her sleep.
"Sleep, Bella." I whispered, lulling her to sleep. She succumbed to natural sleep almost instantly.
About 30 seconds later, I set her on the couch. I turned around and almost missed the chair.
Alice is gone forever.
"We are terribly sorry about this, but your coven is far too large. We are taking two with us, and the came of free will." Aro said.
Edward and Alice grinned, already wearing black robes. "What about Bella? She thinks your dead!" He laughed coldly.
"Let her then." He motioned to Alice. "I have her. Shes actually good for something, unlike Bella."
A snarl erupted from my chest. Strong waves of hate ripped from me. "Don't ever say that!" Aro just laughed.
"Well, come on and lets leave!" He squealed. Alice locked eyes with me.
"You can't go." I whispered, kissing her for the last time. "I'm sorry. I must. It's not about choices anymore, Jasper. Its life or death. Just do whatever you can to stay happy."
How could there be a happy?
"Jasper?" Bella sat up. "Why is my leg bandaged? Wheres Edward?" A growl ripped loose from my throat. "And Alice?"
"The truth, or the lie?" her eyes got wide. "Both."
"It will hurt." I warned her
"I'm not whole anyway, why not take more off?" she sunk into the folds of the couch. And its Edwards fault....... I should rip his head off.....
"Don't say that.... please." I didn't look up to see her face, I could feel it well enough. "Truth first or lie?"
She closed her eyes, and for a second I believed her to be sleep. "Truth."
I told her. She stayed the same the whole time, not moving. "Now the lie." her voice was steady and even.
"Edward and Alice were killed by the newborns, and Emmet and I saved you." A flicker of amusement flew across her face.
"Where was Rosalie said to be?"
"Protecting Emmett, glaring at you. Its more believable than the truth."
She sighed and opened her eyes, and I could see why she closed them. Her eyes were swimming with tears, and for some reason her eyes were coal black. "The truth always is more unreal than the lies with Edward." her voice almost faltered. "Take me home."
"Are you sure? You leg is-" She ripped the bandages off, revealing her plain leg. "Home, Jasper." I drove her home. She only spoke one time the whole way, at the very end.
"Don't leave me. Wait till Charlies asleep and come see me. D-don't leave me. It'll be open, the window." She ran into the house.
Bella wants me.
Relief washed over me, for some odd reason. I drove the car home much to fast for my own good, then ran back and hid in the woods behind Bella's. I watched and listened.
I could smell Bella, but only feel Charlie.
That unnerved me.
Charlie grew more and more tired. Right as he was ready to be out cold, Bella went downstairs and brought him up. I watched her window.
I almost screamed.
Bella, in a pair of jeans not from Alice, was positioned on the edge of the window.
I watched in horror as she jumped. I was paralyzed with fear.
Bella landed on her feet, completely unfazed. "Jasper." she called out, her eyes searching for me in the darkness.
I gasped. After hurting her leg and jumping out of window, she walks fine.
"Are you insane?" I hissed.
She shrugged. "Probably."
"Bella! Don't be like that. Please."
"Fine."
I looked at her. In the light from the moon, I could see her eyes were not black, but flat grey. "Bella, your eyes are-"
"Lets go inside. I'm cold."
Of course you stupid idiot. Shes human! I could have slapped myself.
I looked up just in time to see her leg go through the window. Damn, something is up with her today.
Too fast and graceful, and her smell is off. Still human, but off.
"Jasper?" Bella leaned out the window.
Payback time! The little voice laughed. I jumped up and put my face up an inch from hers.
She almost screamed, put saw the better of it and pushed me backwards.
I was not expecting that.
I hit the ground hard, sending a rolling thunder wave. Bella giggled.
As long as she's happy."Come on." She whispered.
When I made it into the window she was sitting on her bed, her knees pulled into her chest.
"The aren't coming back, are they?" She whispered. I hadn't expected that for a few days. "Don't lie. Tell me what you think."
I stiffened, wondering why she wanted my opinion, and why she had basically no emotions. "I don't know." I whispered sadly.
She angled her eyes to he ceiling. "Don't leave. P-please." I looked at her, seeing her old jeans and green shirt. Neither of the were from Alice.
"I won't Bella. I promise." She layed back, and her arm looked weird, as if it weren't used to being alone. "Why aren't your eyes brown?"
I asked after a few minutes. She looked confused. "What? My eyes were brown before the fight, Edward said they were." Anger burned me at the sound of his name.
Bella stayed blank, as if the part of her with emotions left with Edward. "Are you hungry?" I asked bluntly. "Um, yes actually. I haven' ate since last night."
"There's nothing to eat!" Bella complained after searching through her whole house for anything appetizing. "Want to go to the store?"
She grinned wickedly. "But it closes in 15 minutes! What will we do with the extra ten?"
Bella bought a steak. "Why did you buy a steak at 11:30, may I ask?"
"I dunno. Sounded good. Why does Emmett like bears?"
"They are the reason he has Rosalie."
"Oh. Well then." She only cooked it so there wasn't blood dripping out. "That could kill you, ya know."
"What a peaceful way to die." She pulled the brown part off and cut the rest up into bite size peices and at it, some parts still with blood.
After she was done she glided up the stairs, pulling Charlies door shut on the way.
She frowned at me. "Why did you listen to me? Why didn't you just go home?"
"I don't know. Why did you ask me to stay?'
"I don't know."
She fell down onto the bed. After about 20 minutes she sighed. "Lay with me?" She asked. I thought about it.
I had hunted that morning, and it was really late and she would be up early. "Okay."
She didn't smell the same, wasn't as warm. "Jasper? Why does everything I do turn out wrong?" she said it so softly I wasn't sure she said it at all.
"I-I don't know, Bella. Maybe you pick th wrong people."
She sniffed. "Maybe Jacob was right, about dating non- mythical creatures."
"What about being friends?"
"Yes. That will work for us, Jasper. Can we be friends?"
"Of course, Beautiuful Bella."
"Goodnight, Jasper."
"Night Bells."
She was sleeping soundly, her to-cold body resting against me.
Something wasn't right with Bella, and it was going to be my job to find out what.
