Chapter 2

BPOV

His head snapped in my direction so fast I'm sure his neck would be broken if he was human. We were stuck there locked in a staring contest for what seemed like hours but was in actuality probably only a couple of minutes. I took in his pale features just as beautiful as any of the others of his kind. But what startled me the most was the muddy brown color of his eyes. Contacts I figured, just great a human drinking vampire shopping at Wal-mart of all places in the fucking milk isle. Seriously I must have sucked in a previous life or something for the fates to be so cruel. We were snapped out of our gawking when a small child run right into his leg. At first I was afraid for the kid that dare ran into him but when I realized he was stepping around him and walking straight for me I was quickly becoming afraid for myself. Why couldn't I have just kept my mouth shut you know. I knew the rules of the vampire world. Human's were not to know of their kind only two options were available if that ever happened. Death or to be changed and judging by his glare and his quickly dissolving contacts he didn't look like the type that would change me.

When he was way to inside of my personal space for me to ever be comfortable with, he finally broke the glare he had fixed on my face too look around seemingly satisfied with what he saw he fixed his stare back on me.

"What did you just say?" he snapped. I know he was trying to look all kinds of scary and intimidating and if he was talking to any other human it might have worked but I was tired and hungry and still kind of sick with the flu I was getting over and I wasn't in the mood for the game I knew most vampires like to play with their prey. I had learned that much from the two that had previously tried to take my life.

"Look, I know you heard what I said and I know the rules if you're going to kill me just do it I'm not in the mood for fucking mind games." I replied keeping my voice down.

His eyes widened and then quickly narrowed again before he responded probably to shocked by my out burst to keep the scowl firmly set on his face.

"No one said I was going to kill you but you obviously know more than what you are supposed to know but this isn't the place for this conversation I'll be waiting outside the front doors for you." he replied. Before stalking away.

I stood there for a moment weighing my options knowing that I didn't really have any other choice but to check out and make my way out side to whatever fate he decided I should meet tonight but that didn't mean I wasn't going to take my time. I spent a lot of my time waiting on vampires it was time to make one wait on me.

I had only made it three steps out the door before he was falling in step with me to my car he didn't say anything but I saw him steal a few glances at my from the corner of his eye. We both made it to my car as I pressed the trunk release button he started putting my bags in for me. I was reaching to put in the last bag we suddenly he grabbed my hand already knowing what he saw I yank my hand back from him and slammed my trunk before turning around to look at his shocked face.

"You survived a vampire bite and you aren't dead and your obviously still human, how?" he asked.

"The venom was sucked out before it had time to spread far." I replied trying to sound detached but the truth was it both hurt and frightened me to think of those memories.

"I've never heard of a vampire with that kind of control before I don't understand he shouldn't have had the control to stop once he started sucking the venom out.'' he replied with a bewildered look on his perfect face. He ran a hand through his dirty blonde hair before extending his hand to me I looked at it for a moment before extended my out to his for a shake.

"Names Peter Whitlock ma'am." he said. His southern accent becoming more pronounced.

"Bella Swan." I replied.

His eyes widened once again at hearing my name and I couldn't understand why. He stood there staring at me for a good couple of minutes before finally snapping out of what ever kind of trance he had seemingly been in. The next words out of his mouth were defiantly not what I had been expecting to hear.

"Your Jasper's Bella, the Bella from Forks." he said eyes still wide with shock. I'm sure now mirroring my own. I had to take a deep breath and compose myself before replying but even after doing that my voice still came out shaky.

"Yeah one in the same." I replied. Hoping that this vampire in front of me would and wouldn't led me to the Cullen's even though I missed most of them there were a few I was not ready to see even now.

"You're the one he tried to attack, stupid fucking pixie said you were dead, this can't be possible." he muttered. He kept up his mutterings for a while seemingly lost in his own head then all of a sudden his attention was back on me. He gave me one of the biggest smiles I'd ever seen in my life before clapping his hands together.

"This is great, what are you doing this weekend Bella Swan I hope you don't have any plans because your coming with me to see Jasper." he said. Still baring the huge smile. That is until he saw me physically wince at the mention of seeing one of the Cullen's.

"No No No I will not be lead back into this world I can't I don't want to see the Cullens I just can't." I replied. Thinking of having to face Edward. Even though I was over him I still got angry every time I thought of being cast aside like the family pet and every time I thought about how my best friend just walked out of my life with out even so much as a good bye or an e-mail address I could reach her on, how my bear of a big brother who called me his little sister on a daily basis could just take off on me. Not to mention the pain I felt every time I thought of the second parents that had told me I was like their daughter and welcomed me to the family with open arms. I could never understand how they could just pick up and leave and it hurt to think about how they could just all leave with out so much as a goodbye from any of them. Hell if I was being honest with myself I even missed Rosalie and the relationship I was never allowed to forge with Jasper. He must have seen the pained look on me face because he was quick to reassure me.

"No Bella its just Jasper he is staying with me and my wife charlotte has been for the last few years now and I now a visit from you will do him a lot of good." he said. I could now see the pleading hints in his now fully revealed blood read eyes the contacts had long since been disenagrated.

"What, what do you mean he has been staying with you for the last few years what about his wife where's Alice I don't understand." I asked feeling utterly confused I mean I knew once vampires mated that it was usually a forever thing.

"Jasper left the family four years ago, that's all I can tell you its his story to tell Bella, he hasn't been doing good at all though and I know a visit from you would do him a world of good. I had a feeling I had to come here tonight and I never go against my feelings and it was right, you have to come please." he pleaded.

I sighed more confused than ever. Part of me just wanted to say no and get into my car and drive away but another part of me remembers that Jasper had once put his life on the line to save my own and if this Peter says that he is hurting and a visit from me will do him some good what will one visit hurt as long as its just him. I mean he wasn't one of the family members that told me they loved me and welcomed me in with false promises just to toss me aside.

"Look I promise no harm will come to you, just one visit Saturday around 11 and you'll never see or hear from us ever again if you don't want too, I know you don't have any reason to trust me but you have my word." he rushed out.

"Fine but I'm doing this for Jasper because you say he is hurting and it will help him no other reason, and if this is a trick and there or other Cullens there you'll never see me again." I replied. Knowing that even as the words were coming out of my mouth that there really wasn't any way I could stop them from seeing me again if they wanted too but hoping that he took me seriously. I saw his lip twitch only for a second before he composed his face back into a neutral mask.

"Of course just one visit and if you don't want to come back you don't have too and none of use will contact you either, you have my word and I am a man of my word." He replied.

After having him type in his address into my gps in my car and saving it under my locations he was gone and I was on my way home. I worked in the city but lived on the out skirts liking my peace and quite something that I had learned to love when living in Forks. It was about a twenty minute drive home.

When I made it to my home I selected his address and when the gps told me I was only 9.8 miles away from my destination I actually felt a little sick. Quickly shutting off my car after closing my garage door I grabbed my bags out of my car and made my way inside.

I spent the rest of the night lost in thought and finally feel into a fitful night of sleep somewhere around mid night.

I woke up the next day feeling like I didn't get any sleep it all it was still dark out side but I knew that it was pointless to try to go back to sleep. It was Friday and I was feeling a lot better so after slipping on some running shorts and a tank top and slipping on my I-pod I was out the door and on my way to the trail I'd some times ran behind my house when running on my treadmill was just not enough. After a quick stretch I made quick work of the four miles that I tried to run at least three times a week. I had starting running my freshman year in college and I loved the balance it helped me with. Making my way back home I quickly loaded up the coffee pot while making my way to the shower. Knowing that I'd just be holed up in my office all day catching up on the work that got piled up while I was sick. I opted for some simple skinny jeans and my favorite Beatles t-shirt and some boots. The rest of my day was spent just as I thought with the exception of the lunch I had with my mom and a few calls I returned to my friends letting them know that I was feeling better and making promises to see them all some time either this weekend or next week and replying to a few emails. By the time I dug myself out of the hole of work I was lodged under it was already 8 o'clock.

That night when I got home I was so exhausted from the lack of sleep I got the previous night that I only made it half way through my dinner before I called it quits and made my way to my bedroom I was asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Saturday morning I woke up a well rested nervous wreck. I mean why was I even thinking going to see Jasper. I mean not that I didn't care about him because I did, of course I did I still cared about all of the Cullens how could I not I had once considered them all to be my family. But who was Peter kidding thinking a visit from me would do him any good if he was hurting like he said he was. What would a visit from me do for him anyway. I was left with more questions than answers the more I thought about it. Me and Jasper were never really all that close, Edward had always been afraid that his lack of control would end up being the end of me if we were ever alone together I hadn't ever really spent much time with him aside from the time we spent in that hotel room in phoenix when he was trying to protect me from James. And that's the reason that even though I didn't think there was anything I could do to help him I knew I had to at least try. He had been there to protect me during one of the scariest times in my life the least I could do was try to help him.

After eating breakfast and taking a shower I spent way to much time in my opinion getting ready to see someone who was for all intents and purposes supposed to be a brother to me. Not that I ever saw him that way.

I picked out my clothes quickly slipping on the red lace bra and panty set and stood in the mirror looking at my body for way to long. I wondered what he would think of the woman that was reflected back to me. I was no longer the meek little teenager he had once knew. I had filled out in all of the right places my hips were rounder my breast were fuller. And the rest of me was left toned from the runs and workouts that I had made a regular part of my life. Running a hand over my toned stomach I decided I was being silly and quickly become annoyed with myself for letting myself think that way.

After throwing on the black skinny jeans and my favorite Muse shirt that fit me like a glove. I put on my riding boots and grabbed my helmet and keys before making me way to my car to grab my gps then making my way over to my bike.

Before I could talk myself out of it I was on the road on my way to see a person well vampire from a life that I had thought I had left behind long ago. I briefly wondered if I maybe should have called Jake to let him know what was going on but thought better of it because he'd have the whole pack down here today if he knew I was around any of them. He was protective like that. Not that he didn't have his reasons after the whole Laurent thing but I knew that Jasper would never hurt me not intentionally anyway.

It only took me about 6 minutes to reach the long road that lead to the house that part of my passed was waiting in, not giving myself time to think about what I was doing I quickly turned down the rock road taking note of the fact that like the other vampires I had had in my life these too liked to live surrounded my nothing but woods in the middle of no where. Pulling up in their driveway I quickly parked my bike before taking my helmet off.

I knew that they all had to know I was here but no one made there presence known in the five minutes it took me to make myself get off the bike and walk the ten feet to the where the front door was. Before I could force myself to left my hand to knock the door swung open revealing one of the most beautiful men I had ever seen. My memory didn't do him justice at all. His curly blonde locks and strong jaw where more perfect that I had remembered them but it was his eyes that caught my attention the most it wasn't the fact that they were blacker than I had ever seen them but they were full of so much sadness that it almost took my breath away. His face was etched with so much pain that it broke my heart. We stood there starting at his other for what felt like forever just taking each other in before he meet my eyes and I finally saw some of the sadness be replaced with hope.

"Oh Bella is that really you, darlin?'" he asked. But before I could even think about answering him he had his arms around me hugging me for the first time.
