Recap

They reached the local shopping mart in around five minutes, due to Jasper's more calm driving, but ended up getting a far parking stall. They got out, and after a few steps away from the car, Jasper placed a protective arm in front of Bella.

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here. Little Jasper Hale and that oaf, Bella Swan. Hmm, I wonder how Cullen would feel when he found out his loving little girlfriend was cheating on him with his own brother, don't you?"

--

Jasper snarled at the voice. Bella stepped back behind Jasper, shaking slightly. Using his power, he calmed her down, but kept her remaining behind his back. A tall man stepped into view, his coal black eyes shining in the dark. Another vampire.

"Get back, Bella," he murmured quietly to Bella. He pulled her back, and stepped forward to the vampire.

"Blaise, I would appreciate it if you would please leave Bella and I alone," Jasper growled. Soon they engaged in a vampire battle.

This new vampire, Blaise, pulled out a strange weapon, a wavy dagger. Bella breathed a sigh of relief, knowing the knife would probably not hurt Jasper. Blaise snickered, and sharply skimmed the side of Jasper's neck and across his chest, causing him to writhe in pain. Jasper fell to the ground, and Blaise snickered.

"You're not worth it, Hale." He said, dropping the dagger to the ground and disappearing.

"Jasper!" Bella exclaimed, dropping to his side.

"Are you alright?" He asked her hoarsely. Bella groaned.

"Jeez, Jasper. I'm not the one who got attacked by a psychopathic vampire, idiot!"

The blonde sighed, and attempted to get up. Bella helped him into the passenger's side of the Honda, and drove as fast as she could to the Cullen house.

"Lay here." She ordered him to lay down on Esme's long black couch. He took off his shirt(which was quite embarrassing for Bella), and wiped up the silvery blood-like substance oozing from his skin.

"W-what was that? I thought vampires couldn't get hurt?" Jasper winced as she began to bandage up his bare chest tightly. Bella covered his chest with a fleece blanket, before helping him sit up and carefully bandaging his neck with gauze.

"I don't know. You still have the dagger he used to, uh, assassinate, me?" Bella nodded.

"We should show it Carlisle. He'll know what to do," Jasper whispered quietly. The phone rang, and Bella jerked up to answer.

"Alice? Yes, he's alright. Yes, I did take care of him. Yes, you can talk to him." Bella handed Jasper the phone, smiling slightly. Jasper listened quietly as Alice yelled at him over the phone, while Bella tried to contain her laughter. He got off the phone, and saw Bella giggling.

"Alice's probably called Edward. Just wait till you hear him," he grumbled. As if on cue, the phone Edward had given Bella to use rang Claire de Lune(1), her ringtone for Edward.

"That's crazy. Do you have some kind of phone-controlling power now?" Jasper let out a rare laugh as she battled

"Maybe it's just you," he laughed. "Hey, what were you writing in that notebook when I came, Bella?"

Bella blushed, but after calming down a bit, handed the vampire the black book she had been writing in.

"They're, uh, character studies of, well, you guys." Jasper gave her a small smile and flipped open to the table of contents Bella had written neatly. His eyes scanned down, and read the last name on the list: his own. Bella saw where he was going to flip to, and immediately tried wrestle the book back to her, but Jasper was already finished.

"Brooding movie star?" He raised an eyebrow. Bella shrugged and nodded. He was about to question her further about her "theory" when Emmett, Alice, and Rosalie burst through the door, Carlisle and Esme hot on their trail.

Jasper groaned and placed his head in his hands.

"I knew we should have disconnected the phoneline."

A/N: Should I continue? I think I may have another actual heart-to-heart with Jasper and Bella.
