Twists And Turns - Jasper Hale.

Chapter 1 - Thirst.

She held the parcel wrapped in silver paper in the palm of her hands. I edged back holding my breath as my throat quenched with thirst.

"Go on, open it, you'll love it," Alice's angelic voice said. Bella nodded. She carefully tore the paper, her thumb brushing against it. The silver paper created a thin slice in her thumb and deep red blood oozed out. My back of my throat was on fire, as I breathed in her delicious scent. Thirst took over my mind and body. I leashed out at her like a bullet. Edward pelted to the middle and pushed her back as she slammed onto the glass table. Emmett and Rosalie held me back as I struggled and shouted. Alice was in front of me, her beautiful face consolled me.

"Shh, pleasee," she said to me. I glanced behind her, Bella was on the floor, her arm was covered in blood. Memories flooded back to me. When I was a puppet in Maria's hands; when I was nothing but a monster. Guilt spread through my body. Carlisle and Alice; they must be so disappointed and ashamed of me. Edward; he must have lost all faith and trust in me. And Bella; she must think I'm nothing but a beast, she must be terrified of me.

"Take Jasper out of here," said Carlisle beside Bella. Emmett and Rosalie dragged me out of the house into the fresh air. Bella's mouth watering scent still ached in my throat. Alice came running after me and we leaped out into the forest. I caught the first deer I could find, the blood was enough but I still wasn't satisfied. I hunted down a grizzly bear, sucking the warm blood as it ran down my throat. I noticed Alice seemed oddly quiet.

"I'm sorry.

"You don't need to be, it wasnt your fault."

"It was my fault Alice," I replied as we ran through the forest, "I'm just useless at controlling my thirst. But, its just that, her scent, it's so, so -."

"Delicious? Yeah I know, I try to ignore it, but it's harder for you and Bella understands, we all do Jazz. Don't feel bad about it." Isn't she amazing? Meeting Alice was proberly one of the best things that ever happened to me. We sprinted through the forest, nearly at the Canadian border, then she suddenly stopped. I slowed down, she was staring into space.

"What? What do you see?"

"It's Edward. He's decided to move. To leave Bella behind..." Crap.

"What?!" Was Edward going mental? We rushed back to the house, practically flying in the forest.

"Edward she needs you!"

"She needs anything but me, anything but a life of danger," he replied.

"But what if...if she comes back."

"Victoria?" Her name made me sick, " Why would she hurt Bella? She'll come for me, I was the one who killed James." He was going mental, I swear. Why doesn't he just change her and stop being so..so...GOOD! Edward gave me a annoyed look.

"Stay outta my head," I said as I stamped out, slamming the door behind me so hard, it snapped in half.
