Thank you so much for the reviews, you people just made my day :D
Here's chapter two, tell me what you think.

I felt so powerless. I was forced to comply to all of Maria's requests. I had to, I couldn't risk Alice. We ran to San Francisco, it didn't take us all of that long. I was allowed to hold on to Alice's hand the whole time, but Gabe's fingers were on her other arm, ready to grab her if she tried to run for it. I would have gladly attacked them both now, but I couldn't take them both out before one or the other got to Alice. I felt so trapped.

"Is there even a coven in San Francisco?" Usually covens stayed away from California.

"A small one, three vampires. Easily taken down."

"Are there more of you?"

"Five more, waiting for us in San Fran." I nodded. This would be easy. Hopefully after I had taken this city, she would be satisfied and let Alice and I go. But then, I remembered her greedy nature, and my hope faltered.

We arrived there shortly after dusk. She took us to a dark alley in the heart of the city, and we were greeted by five newborns. Two girls, three boys..

"Jasper, this is the beginning of our army.. You will train them, just like the old days. Starting now." she said. "I'm going to find us more soldiers." She turned to the newborns. "Now, you must NOT let him or the pixie escape. And Gabe, if Jasper does not comply, kill the girl." and then she slinked up the alley wall and disappeared. Gabe came over and yanked my wife away from me, and held her just as he had before.

I took in a deep breath, looking at Alice, and started. "Now, when in a fight there are a few key things you must remember. Never go directly at them, stay to the sides. You must have realized by now that you are extremely strong. That will not necessarily help you during a fight. You must be cunning, and always one step ahead of your enemy. Alice and I can demonstrate this. Gabe, please let go of my wife." He just glared at me and made his hold on her tighter.

"I need her for demonstration. Now, let go." I demanded. He reluctantly let her free, and she walked over to stand across from me, a taunting smile on her face. I charged.

She neatly dodged all my attacks, twisting and flipping out of the way. I had all my years of experience on my side, she had the knowledge of the future. Our fight lasted quite a while, I would attack, she would dodge. But finally, she had her hands around my neck. She let go and swiftly kissed me. We walked back over to where Gabe was standing, opposite of the newborns.

"Did you get anything out of that? You two," I said pointing at the girls, "Your turn."

I could tell these girls had never had man to man combat before. They charged at each other, driven by their instincts, no strategy, no skill. I could feel their bloodlust.

"Alright, stop." They immediately did. Smart of them. "Now, when she charges, you don't just charge back. Dodge and then take them at the back or sides. The front is the most expected. Now try again."

Maria returned soon, carrying three human bodies. Two boys, one girl. She bit all of them, and Alice shrieked, she hated just standing here, watching merciless acts happen right before her eyes. Gabe got around to holding her again, I had work to do. I trained the newborns as they came around, I taught them how to fight, and how to feed inconspicuously. They were quite fast learners. The numbers hovered to around fifteen. A very good number for only two weeks of work.

When Maria decided it was time to take over, the fight had been short, and successful. Only one newborn was lost. Maria, Alice, Gabe and I all stayed a safe distance away. I had demanded that Alice be away, and they followed. I had not been allowed to so much as hold Alice's hand since the first night. She was always held prisoner, and I absolutely hated it.

Just as I expected, Maria did not stop there. She planned to take Sacramento. The small coven of four had heard of our armys creation, and they started to make there own. Maria was optimistic though, she brought more and more newborns into the army. Thanks to my experience and extra ability, our numbers swelled to 21. It was unbelievable, and horrible. I thought I had left this all behind, all this blood and vengeance, and what was even better was now I had dragged Alice into the mess that was my life. It had now been three weeks from our forceful capture, and for the first time, Maria left Alice and I alone. She said I was doing well, and that this alone time was a reward. We were in an empty barn. I knew that Gabe and another newborn named Angie were nearby. But still it was better than nothing. As soon as we were along, I rushed to her side and kissed her more passionately than I ever had before. I hugged her to me tightly, wanting so badly to take off right now, to get her out of this mess. But we were being monitored. So I asked her a question that had baffled me all this time.

"Where is our family? Why haven't they come for us?" I asked, still holding her.

"They've been looking. They can't find our trail anywhere." she explained. "They're all excruciatingly worried. They think the Volturi caught up with us. They can't be sure though, they don't have my abilities to test their theory." I sighed, thinking of Esme… she must be in pieces. "Carlisle talked to Sam, and they have the wolves searching for us."

"Wow." They really did love us. She abrubtly laughed.

"I had a vision of Emmett crying over us. Emmett!" she said in disbelief. That was odd, Emmett never cried before. The barn doors opened.

"Time's up." Gabe said. That was quick. He was flanked by two other newborns, Angie and David. I unwillingly let go of Alice and grabbed her hand. We followed them back to the farmhouse, where we were all staying. We walked through the dark slightly wet grass, it was the middle of the night, and through the front door of the old falling apart house. We were welcomed by chaos. There were fights everywhere, and distant sounds of things being broken. I immediatly spread calm throughout the house, and then it was quiet.

"What do you all think you're doing?" I shouted. Alice rubbed my back, she didn't like it when I lost my temper. At her touch, I calmed myself. "If you wish to survive, You must contain yourselves." I threatened. They all blankly stared. No one wanted to speak up. "Now follow me." I ordered and they all complied. Gabe walked to my side and stole my Alice away from me. He had one hand around her waist, and his other hand was holding Alice's neck. Warning me. She had both her hands on his arm, ready to yank it off if need be.

I lead them outside, into a small clearing in the backyard. I told them all to make a loose circle around the small meadow. They all followed my orders, no one wanted to mess with me. I picked out the two most skilled fighters.
"Kendra? John? Center of the circle." They looked frightened as they made they're way there. "Stand away from each other, and fight. Remember, stay to the sides, dogde, then attack. Go." They fought for a long time. They were quite unskilled compared to me, but they were good for newborns. Eventually, Kendra had John. I stopped her before she actually killed him. Maria was no where to be seen. I tried different pairings, different skill levels, until dawn finally came and we were all forced back into the house by the sun. They weren't as unruly with me around. I gave a few some fighting pointers, while Gabe sat with Alice on the steps of the stairwell. Finally, after hours of being gone, Maria returned.

"Attention!" she shouted as soon as she was in the door. Everyone turned to look at her, I could feel their confusion and anxiety. "You are all thirsty, are you not?" They all nodded in feverent agreement. Alice and I did not, even though we had not hunted in over three weeks now. Maria tried to condone us into feeding the "natural" way, but we both refused. We were not going to become murderers. And so, our eyes were pitch black and our throats burned. But we weren't giving in.

"It is cloudy today. We hunt by day, attack at night. It will be simple, you're all well prepared. I have faith in you." she told us. "If you are not back here at dusk, I'll hunt you and finish you off myself. Remain inconspicuous, clean up after yourselves. Now go hunt." They all rushed out the door, running, headed for the city.

"Maria?" I adressed her. "What about Alice and I?" I said jesturing toward her.

"Still insist on that insane diet of your's?" she asked, heavy sarcasm in her tone. I nodded once.

"Fine, Gabe and I will come with you. But this better not take long." she told us, heading out the door.

"I think Alice and I should lead. We're accustomed to this form of hunting." I told her staying where I was.

"As you wish," she said, falling back. I held out my hand towards Gabe, asking for Alice.

"Not this time Jasper." Maria told me. "Alice is not a right, but a reward. You lead." I growled, and prepared to spring at her.

"Jasper, think about what you're doing."She told me gesturing toward Gabe, where he now had both his hands on her neck. Alice's eyes were closed. She looked absolutly tiny, so fragile. I relaxed my position immediatly, before it was too late. As soon as I relaxed, his hands came off her neck, thankfully.

"Let's go." I said, a hard edge in my voice. We took off, I was in front, Maria close behind, with Alice and Gabe trailing, I kept taking peeks over my shoulder making sure she was alright. I feverently hoped that we could both survive this.

Review please?
