A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first B/OC fic, so I hope you like it. For those of you opposed to Bella/Jasper, go read my other pieces. J
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight(SM does), and I don't down own Sail Away(The Rasmus does).
Sail away, it's time to leave
Rainy days, are yours to keep
Fade away, the night is calling my name
You will stay, I'll sail away
I woke with a start, thunder crashing noisily outside my window. I wiped away the tears that had flowed continuously down my cheeks whilst I slept. The nightmare had been particularly vivid that night.
Lightning flashed, illuminating a figure outside the window. I gasped.
Victoria.
A scream built up in my throat, but I held it back, refusing to wake Charlie. Please, just take me, leave him alone. I pleaded silently. Please.
Charlie… I thought. If she kills me here, Charlie will be scarred for life. I have to make it look like… I swallowed hard, tears threatening to break through again. Make it look like suicide. Still horrible, but not as bad as waking up to see your daughter's brutally murdered corpse laying on her bedroom floor.
I jumped out of my bed, running as quietly down the stairs as I could, skipping the squeaky step. I dashed out the front door, into the torment of rain and debris.
Wind and raindrops lashed at my face, but I continued to sprint towards the woods, knowing Victoria would catch my scent and follow me.
I cut off the path, veering farther from the other houses nearby, into a thick tangle of branches and moss.
Suddenly, a branch seemed to come out of nowhere, catching me in the stomach, knocking me to the ground. I curled up in a ball, waiting for my hunter to find me.
Goodbye, Edward. I thought. Goodbye, my one and only love.
The last thing I saw was his face, glorious and sad, the only thing that could make my heart beat again.
"Bella? Bella, can you hear me? Are you alright? Bella, say something." A beautiful, silky voice whispered frantically in my ear. Such a lovely voice, strangely familiar.
"Bella?" Smooth, cool hands were shaking my shoulders. The touch felt so nice, like I had been craving it for an eternity.
"Bella!" I felt a jolt of emotions rush through me, waking me out of my reverie. I opened my eyes to see a pair of golden eyes staring at me with concern. My heart ached at the sight of them.
"Jasper?" I tried to sit up, but Japer pushed me back against my pillow.
"You need to rest. You took a hard blow from that tree branch. You were out cold when I found you."
The memories from my nighttime visitor came rushing back, and I stared up at Jasper, fear in my eyes.
"Jasper, you need to go! Victoria's after me, mate for a mate, you know, and she was at my window when I woke up and-" Jasper put a hand to stop me.
"That wasn't Victoria at your window last night, Bella. That was me. But you say Victoria's back? That's not good. I'll have to call Carlisle. He and Emmett could come down and hunt her down, maybe Rosalie, too."
The hole in my chest ripped a little more hearing their names, but the thought of seeing them again made it a little easier to breath.
"Wait, Jasper," I straightened up into a sitting position, looking him in the eye. "Why were you even here in the first place?"
Jasper's face fell a little, and he diverted his eyes. His expression was so hurt, that I knew he would be crying if he could.
"What is it, Jasper? Did something happen to Alice?" I was starting to panic. Why wouldn't he just tell me.
"I was here looking for…Edward. And Alice. They've gone missing. I'm scared, Bella. I'm really scared."
