I always had the urge to kill him.

He loved her.

He loved her so damn much it wasn't even funny.

Jasper Hale loved my Bella.

Damn him.

He kept his distance from her of course, though I was forced to lie to Bella about the cause. It wasn't just bloodlust that drove Jasper away from her…

Alice didn't know about Jasper's little infatuation. She was best kept in the dark about this matter...

He loved Alice too, of course. He was torn between two women. Two very, wonderful, deserving women.

Emphasize the 'was'. I didn't allow him to pursue Bella.

She was mine.

Mine.

I always had the urge to kill him.

And now, he's gone.

He left to get away from Bella and to avoid Alice's painful confused stares.

She tried to find him. To bring him back. All to no avail.

It seems that he never really chose a specific destination. He just started running, never really making up his mind on getting somewhere…

But I knew.

I knew which direction Jasper ran in.

He ran south, towards Mexico. At this rate, he'll probably make it to South America.

I heard him go in that direction on the day that he left.

And due to my rarely fortunate luck, no one else was around to hear him leave.

I always had the urge to kill him.

And today, I was sick of fighting that urge.

I was going to find him.

Kill him.

And rest my peace of mind, knowing that he wasn't after my Bella.

Mine.


It didn't take long to find him.

There he was, his arms held tightly around his knees, rocking back and forth…back, and forth…

I always had the urge to kill him.

He already knew why I was there.

What I had planned.

What I was going to try and do.

Correction: What I was going to do.

I felt a slight pang of shock.

He wanted to die.

He wasn't going to fight back.

Well if that's what he wanted…

I wasn't going to stop him from getting what he asked for…

But the guilt…

No.

No. No. No.

I refused to let this distract me from why I showed up here.

I would kill him.

I would leave.

No guilt attached.

I smirked as I whispered to his now still figure "Your wish, my command"

I crouched and lunged myself at the traitor who fell in love with my girl.

My girl.

My love.

Mine.


I found Bella waiting for me at the door when I got home.

"Where were you?!" She cried out the second she spotted me.

"A surprise hunting trip. Your blood smells sweeter everyday, you know" I lied smoothly.

She rolled her eyes "Fine then… Still, give me some warning next time"

"Of course, love" I was relaxed, knowing that Jasper was no longer able to touch Bella. I smiled as I leaned down to kiss her lips.

My lips.

My girl.

My love.

Mine.
