Chapter 2
I didn't know how long I'd been asleep hours, minutes, seconds. Like I said I didn't know. An earsplitting scream of agony echoed around the house. I sat bolt upright almost as quickly as Edward. He was at the door in a second.
"What happened?" I asked frantically.
"I don't know." He answered his voice tight with worry. He froze
"Let's go see." I prompted. He swept me up and ran with me. The air screamed past us much slower than usual but still unbearably fast. I heard others checking the house. All the rooms and passageways. No one was there. The scream came again.
"The stairs!" I yelled to Edward over the wind. Within seconds we were at the bottom of the stairs. There was Jasper shivering on the ground.
"Jasper!" Edward yelled flipping him over. He touched his face and yanked his had back with a gasp. He backed away nervously.
"What is it? What's wrong!" I yelled at him. I touched his face and gasped. He was burning up. I touched him again. His brow was clammy with sweat.. His head jerked toward me. His eyes tight shut. He screamed again.
"What's wrong with him." I asked Edward. Alice screeched to a stop beside us.
"Edward what's he thinking?" She asked her face white.
"Nothing it's just images." She paled further.
"Bella. You're human, our talents are stronger to you. What's he feeling?" She was almost begging now.
"It's okay Alice. He'll be fine." Edward tried to comfort her.
"He might not be. He keeps flicking between life and death." She leaned against Emmett who I realized was standing behind her. Jasper screamed. I waited for him to stop thrashing. Then I grabbed his hands in mine.
"What are you feeling Jasper? Show me." I whispered to him. I felt his power flowing into me. I squeezed my eyes shut and I screamed with him. It's was like being skinned alive with a knife.
"Bella!" That was Edward. He was worried. I wrenched my hands out of Jaspers.
"Bella are you okay?" I nodded
"He's in agony. I don't know why." I glanced over at Jasper. He thrashed wildly.
"Hold him down." Esme said. "Make sure he doesn't hurt himself. Edward find Carlisle. And hurry." Emmett and Rosalie moved to restrain Jasper. Edward just stood there frozen.
"Edward!" Alice screamed. He started moving and then hesitated.
"Go!" I yelled at him. He went. I'd never yelled at him before.
Edward:
I hurried. Bella had never yelled at me before. Even though I couldn't read her thoughts, I knew that she was worried. Jasper had helped save her life multiple times. And now she was remembering it and wanted desperately to help save his. I tried to convince myself that she wasn't angry with me just worried, just scared for Jasper. I opened my senses and searched for Carlisle. I heard him coming on his way home from a run in the woods. He stopped as soon as he heard me. I accelerated.
"Carlisle." I yelled my voice ragged with panic.
"Edward!" He ran to meet me. We both skidded to a stop a few feet away from each other.
"Carlisle I'm so glad I found you. If I hadn't it would be bad and-" I gasped. "We're running out of time come." I started to turn but he caught my arm.
"What's wrong?" He asked urgently. "Is it Bella?" I shook my head.
"Jasper." I said gravely. His hand dropped.
"What happened?"
"A little while after you left, we heard screaming. Bella and I went down stairs and there he was. It looked like he'd fallen down the stairs or something. Anyway he was screaming so I flipped him over. When I went to touch his face-" I broke off.
"What?" Carlisle said still calm but you could tell worried.
"Carlisle. Jasper was sweating and he had a fever." Carlisle gasped.
"Oh my god. What is this."
"Alice said that there was a 50/50 chance of life and death so we have to hurry." I sped off and soon heard Carlisle's steps behind me. Worry put wings on my feet so we got home in about 3 minutes.
Jasper:
I was in pain. More pain than I had ever been in. More pain than anyone whose feelings I'd felt had ever been in. Even through the pain and the heat and the cold. I could feel Bella's worry. She was scared for me. I wanted to tell her that I would be okay but every time I opened my mouth a scream came out instead of words. I tried to collect my thoughts so that Edward could read them when he got back. I had been feeling off since we got back from hunting. I'd shivered when a cold wind blew through the door. Bella had seen it and was worried. Later I'd been walking up the stairs when a sudden pain engulfed my body. I'd fallen. All the way down the stairs. I'd screamed in agony. I remember Edward and Bella finding me. I writhed, trying desperately to escape the fire burning in my veins despite the ice of my skin. I remember Edward going for Carlisle and hoping that he would hurry. Emmett and Rosalie had held me down while Esme comforted Alice. Alice. She was beside herself with worry but I wouldn't die for a while anyway. I had no control over my body at all. It was like being outside myself, watching from somewhere on the ceiling. I saw my arm swing up and smash Emmett's face. I struggled to gain control but to no avail. Exhausted I collapsed and suddenly went still pulling myself into the safety of my own mind. I waited for Carlisle to tell me what has wrong with me.
Bella:
"Where are they!" I asked worried. I looked down at Jasper sweat was beading on his forehead, still as death, lying on the ground.
"They're coming." Esme assured me. And sure enough just as I started my 15th pace across the room. Edward and Carlisle came flying through the door.
"Carlisle!" Alice cried. "Help him." Her voice was cracking with sadness and panic.
"Alright let's see what we have here." Carlisle said calmly. He moved toward Jasper. As if feeling Carlisle's approach, Jasper began thrashing again. He opened his mouth and screamed. Carlisle froze, his eyes wide. Rosalie, having relaxed her hold on Jasper's legs watched with surprise as one of them kicked out, breaking her hold and smashed into Edward who was standing near by. Edward swore jumped back out of range of further limbs. Jasper's arm slammed into Emmett again this time leaving a bruise on his cheek.
"Jasper calm down! You're hurting me!" Yelled Emmett. Jasper screamed and thrashed harder. The strength of his spasms shaking Emmett and Rosalie as they did their best to keep him still. The bands of muscle on Emmett's arms stood out lividly in the light. He's fighting them. Not intentionally but he's still fighting them. Jasper screamed and whipped his head sideways snapping his teeth at an imaginary enemy. Emmett gasped as the almost closed on his arm.
"Edward what's he thinking. Does he know what he's doing?" Alice's voice was begging, hoping that Jasper didn't want to kill Emmett. Jasper stilled as he had before. Emmett breathed a sigh of relief. Edwards eyes were intent as he listened to something we couldn't hear.
"I can't control myself." He said relaying Jasper's thoughts to us. "What's wrong with me? I'm burning and freezing at the same time. It's not like it was when I was created. It's so much worse. Damn it it's coming back. Get away from me! Oh my god! Get Bella out of here!" Jasper screwed up his face as if trying to hold something back with all of his might. Edward grabbed me and ran up the stairs just as Jasper's control broke. He wrenched himself free of Emmett and Rosalie and raced after me. Emmett grabbed him, restraining him. Jasper turned and sank his fangs into Emmett's arm. Emmett yelped and jumped back. Jasper started after me again, then collapsed to the ground screaming. Spasms rocked his body.
"Edward put me down." He looked at me in horror. Then shook his head.
"Do you have any idea what he could do to you?" He asked and tightened his arms.
"I can help him. Nothing will happen." Again Edward shook his head. Jasper's scream split the air. Finally I couldn't stand it anymore
"Just do it!" I yelled at Edward. Angry now. In his surprise Edward dropped me. I picked myself up.
"Thank you." I said acidly. Slowly I turned and walked down the stairs toward Jasper. I was just a few feet away. Jasper screamed louder and rolled to face me. I could see the anguish plainly in his eyes. I stared back at him for a moment then in one quick thought. I jumped on him. Sitting on his chest and pinning his shoulders down while he thrashed, twisting his head from side to side.
"Jasper. It's me! Bella!" I yelled at him. "I want to help you. Calm down." The Cullen's watched in amazement as the magic of my voice and or touch I'm not sure which one seemed to work on him the same way it did on Jacob. He stilled, whimpering.
"See? It's okay. You're going to be okay." I said as he stilled beneath me. I rolled off of him to sit behind him. I move his head onto my lap and started stroking his hair with one hand.
"Carlisle, he's okay now for the moment. I don't know how long before this happens again." Carlisle moved forward to sit next Jasper's body.
"Half an hour." Provided Alice looking at me gratefully. I smiled at her and mouthed he'll be okay. I'll show you how to do it. She smile back.
"So based on what you just saw, what do you think's wrong with him?" I asked in a small voice.
"To tell you the truth I have no idea." I gaped at him. He looked scared and helpless. "Vampires don't get sick so I don't know how to treat him. I've never even seen a human disease like this. I think that for now Bella should show Alice how to take care of Jasper. I guess think of him as Jacob, or whatever works. Alice, I would like you to take Bella and Jasper to Edwards room because it has a bed. Bella keep in contact with Jasper at all times. The rest of you come with me. We need to find what made Jasper this way. Edward stared at me.
"What?" I asked indignantly. I turned back to Jasper. I could feel his fear pulsing through his body and flowing into mine.
"Hey are you okay? You do know that we love you. Alice loves you, Emmett and Rosalie love you, Edward, Carlisle and Esme love you and I love you. We love you more than you can possibly know. You'll be fine." I said running my hands through his golden hair. I glanced at Edward. He was listening to Jasper. He nodded and sprinted out the door.
