AN : TY to all the awesome reviews :) I really appreciate it! Please keep them coming :) :) Let me know if you want the deceased Cullen's to be in the story as phantoms ? It is an idea I am toying around with a bit. Also I need some input about Bella's other gifts... I know he will be an empath and medium, that way she could still talk to the rest of the Cullen's, and relay messages. But I still am stumped on what her third gift should be. Let me know :P As always SM owns all things Twilight, lucky for us, she lets us all play and write in her world :) Enjoy!


Chapter 4 : Stalkers of the Night.

Jasper's POV.

Alice had told me mere minutes before the fight began, that she know knew why it was so hard for me to control myself around Bella, she knew we were true mates. She also told me that she loved me and always would. But Alie, always knew, so did I, that we weren't real mates. We were best friends, yes. But mates, not so much. Of course being an empath I had known I loved Bella all along, but Bella was with Edward, I would not have disrespected Bella that way, not much less Edward. After all I had been raised up to be a gentleman.

As the fight pursued, and finally I heard Alice's last and fatal scream, was when a part of me died. True we had not been mates, but we had been best friends and complete confidants for nearly the last fifty some years. Not to mention the fact we had role played at husband in wife in those last fifty some years. I would miss her, her charming bubbly upbeat personality. If tears would have fallen I would have drowned in them. Then the horrible screams of almost nearly all the rest of my adoptive family started to ring in my ear, this was wrong, why did it have to be like this I thought?...Well fate can be a bitch when it wants too. Edward had failed, and as he failed I heard Bella's weak and human voice cry out. that is what hurt me the most! Bella, my Bella, though she didn't know that yet, had just lost her first love, and I my best friend, and family. Like I said a piece of me died, yet I kept the hope alive in me, that one day, one day I would be able to tell her just exactly how much she meant to me.

"The Voltouri is finally here Jasper, they are cleaning up us unfinished mess, Sam sent a message out to Seth to bring Bella back here so we can discuss what happens now, but thanks to Alice, we already know what happens." Rose said in a whisper through sobs that broke my still heart. Yes Rose, had lost Emmett, and though I always known that they were not true mates, it was never my place to tell them that. I held onto even more hope, that someday somehow, Rosalie would find true love. I took a few moments of silence to pray for all of us, this had to be, I knew that, but I prayed especially for Bella, how would she ever except my scared and mamed self, would she ever return the feelings of our bond, of course she would, but I just hoped somehow, it would be easy on her.

Things happened quickly, the decision was made about only an hour and a half later to change Bella, I was lucky to have her be okay with me doing it. I knew by pushing my venom into her veins, it would strengthen the bond, so I was grateful when Rose said I should be the one to change her as well.

I changed Bella extremely fast, I push all my venom I could into her, hopefully her change would go quickly seeing as how she wasn't physically harmed, no.. She was probably closer to a form of shock after everything that had happened so far. I mean the young lady had just seen her first love ripped apart, been told she was going to go to Volterra, to be basically forced to live forever, without in her eyes, her mate. Hell I would be catatonic if was a mere human in her shoes. My Bella did not yet know I was in fact her mate yet, and I wondered how I would tell her. It was then that I heard Alice's wind chime majestic voice trail in my thoughts.

"Jasper, yes it is Alice, and no you are not going insane." She giggled her loving pixie voice in my head.

"But how Ali, you are, your dead?" I projected in my thoughts. This was like talking to Edward, except with him, he had to speak verbally.

"Well, duh, but of course Jazz, once we cross over, human or immortal alike, we get so many more gifts, it is astounding really." Alice chimed again with an angelic laugh.

"How will I tell her Alice ? How will she ever forgive me? And what about our new dietary habits, you know we are on our way to Volterra, we will be red eyed.. Me once again and her, from the start." I thought sadly, to Alice waiting for an answer, I only hoped she had.

"Jasper, you worry entirely way to much, she will except you because things will simply make sense this way... She will help usher knowledge of Vampires existence to humans. She will be amazing Jasper, I know she always was, but she will be wonderful. And Jazz, don't worry about me, you know I never saw the bond between me and Edward, but you did...And then seeing your own bond to Bella, but having to ignore it, you are indeed a gentleman Jasper Whitlock, and I am so proud to have called you my best friend on earth. " Alice said with a tiny glimmer of a chuckle. "Be safe and take care of her Jasper, and in the future when you really need to talk, I will be close by... But just so you know, Bella will not only be a empath like you, she will also be a medium, you will have the gift too, but your is a little more limited, for instance you can hear me, but eh that is about the extent of it, Bella will see us, perhaps in time maybe you all will... But don't let her know that, let her figure it out, on her own. I suspect she will need a few days of peace and quiet to get just to being one of the un dead, before I spring that gift on her as well." Alice laughed her playful laugh. "I love you Jasper, but for now I must be gone, be safe always, and remember, live life with no regrets !" She finished happily once more like a soft wind chime.

I continued to think about all of this as Bella lay changing, and as I observed her I was most impressed with such control she exhibited. Though I was nearly one hundred fifty years older than Bella, I realized I was not in such control when I was changed, I remember withering and screaming in agony. And I know from Rosie, that her and Emmett did the like as well. But Bella, she just laid there almost peacefully as we continued our journey to Volterra. Bella never ceased to amaze me. I felt my bond growing to her and it made my heart want to swell, although I almost felt guilty, but then I remembered what Alice had told me, so I enjoyed the feeling of my heart swelling.

When we landed on the ouskirts of Volterra and got off the plane I was also shocked by Bella, as she kept up a perfect facade of control, what a gifted individual she would be, I took her in again, and I began to wonder if not only being am empath and medium as Alice had told me, but if also she would have the gift of control like Carlisle , or perhaps beauty like Rose. The soft angels on Bella's face had sharpend ever so slightly to absoulte perfection. Her dark brown hair had grown in length, and the subtle red highlights had intensified slightly, while straightening out completely. Bella had also appeared to grow slightly and tone up, and though I was trying not to look at her improperly, I couldn't help but notice she had filled out in all the right places rather perfectly. Of course to me though, honestly I always thought she had been perfect.

Aside from Bella's amazing facade, and incredible changing process, I noticed something else that shocked me, yet let me know that prayers do often get answered, I saw the ribbons of Roses true mate start to appear, to no other than Caius. Now that was not something that I expected, but none the less I was happy for her. Sure she would take a while to let him know she felt it too, couldn't hardly blame her. But Caius would now have a run for his money, if anyone could knock him down a peg or two it would be Rose, and honestly they made an outstanding pair.

Finally the time came where Bella broke her perfect facade and grasped at her heart! Almost time, I thought wryly, and though I wished I could be burning for her, I couldn't help but get excited, my true mate was about to open there eyes into the supernatural world of the un-dead, and I was like a little kid in a candy shop waiting for her.

As she woke, she was the symbol of perfection, I let her take her time adjusting, but shortly after she opened her eyes, we found ourselves being crippled by the waves of love we were projecting between each other.

As Bella told me how she had a long conversation with Edward during her change, I smiled wryly at that, I was happy, truly happy. He had explained it all to her, and who better to do it than him, she would always love him as her first love and I was perfectly fine with that. Bella in the same fashion was perfectly fine with the fact that Alice would always be my best friend. We totally understood each other, and for the first time in my undead life I was completely happy.

I knew what was comming to teach Bella how to hunt. We wouldn't be hunting animals this time, no we would embrace what we truly were. We were angels of death, and death would be swift in our hands. I felt the burn in my throat burn, and truly for the first time ever, I felt no regrets.

As I lead Bella out for her first hunt, I caressed her hand tenderly, I listened to Aro's instruction on being discreet, and lead her into the nights sky. For the first time in nearly seventy years I was going to be whom I was destined to be, minus the stupid violence Maria had put me through. I was going to be a vampire, and I was going to teach my beloved Bella, how to be one as well. Although I had a pretty good idea that she would have it down pretty quickly.

"Jasper, I have a thought, tell me if I am right, do I basically lure my victim to follow me?" Bella asked with a sincere tone.

"That is the basic idea Bella, but we are empaths, so let us try to look for someone with undesirable emotions, it saves us from regret." I replied honestly.

As we made our way through the ancient back alleys of the stone city, Bella caught sight of what would be her first meal. Three men with lust, rage, violence, and other horrid emotions emanating from them, they were cornering a girl, much like how Bella had been followed in PortAngela's almost a year ago.

"Do your thing Bella I will be in the shadows shall you need any help love." I whispered in here ear, and then I went to watch and hide myself in the nights sky.

"Fellas, leave that girl alone, I bet I could give you what you want." My Bella said loudly yet seductively, which immediately got their low life attention.

"Miss, you want to party?" The short and fat one shot back at Bella.

"I'll party with you babe, come down here, but don't bring that girl." Bella said in a tone that was again seductive to the human ears, but I could hear her venom and rage in it.

She gave the innocent girl a way out, whom gladly took it, as she took off in a run. The three stooges however, would not escape fate. No they would become Bella's feast, and the world would be less three assholes. I smiled wryly at this.

The morons gladly followed Bella down the dark corridor further down the alley and then, she brought them to their knees in fear... Being an empath I knew what she was doing, she was torturing them for every other girl that had not escaped their filth, she was showing them the fear they had caused so many others. No you didn't have to be a mind reader to figure out just how these fat blokes got their rocks off, they were the degenerates of human society. She snapped the two younger assholes necks and in seconds had drained them dry. Then she purred to the third in so menacing a tone it sent chills down my spine.

"You , you saw the fate of your brothers in crime, you filthy prick, yet you dare send me thoughts of lust? I have something special planned for you, you imbecile of a fuckwad!" She whispered, but having vampire ears, I easily heard it.

With saying that she snapped all of his fingers, then his wrists, then his arms, legs, ribs, knee caps, collar bones, nose, jaw... Holy shit, she was a force to be reckoned with! She didn't even dare bite him, nope she snapped his neck.

"I didn't want his blood in me." Bella stated meekly when it was all done.

"I don't blame you love, you were magical to watch." I stated honestly, in all my time I had never seen a newborn with such control.

"I feel somewhat sloshy Jasper, but I would love to watch you hunt." She then stated honestly.

"By all means then Darlin', follow me." I replied with a smile.

We continued our stroll through Volterra, and then I saw it, heard it, true she was young, but I saw a female babysitter from what I could make out, strike an innocent child for just saying she was hungry and her tummy hurt, so ruthlessly she lashed out verbally at the poor child, it made me cringe. People like that shouldn't breed I thought to myself.

I told Bella to hang back in the shadows, and of course she would, but she was more concerned about the poor child.

I went to the villa and rang the doorbell, as the babysitter nanny whoever it was answered I smelled her, eww she reeked of cocaine, no wonder she wasn't capable of keeping charge of the child she was suppose to be watching.

"Yeah, what do yu want, the people that own this home ain't home." She said rudely.

"I want to talk to you about the kid you are watching." I stated honestly, and i felt her fear start to build, good... She had this coming.

"What the hell, you with child welfare?" she asked, again with a rude tone.

I thought about it, eh why not toy with my food a bit.. "Yes. where is the child now?"

"Asleep the parents will be home in about a half hour. Look I don't usually watch the kid, but I got a job as a temp nanny recently, and I can assure you the child is fine." She said now trying to sound chipper.

"Fuck you bitch, you got a job to support your habit, and now I shall destroy you, good to know the parents will be home soon. You'll be gone." I stated well honestly and bluntly, and she started to quiver.

I quickly snapped her neck and drained her dry. Bella went to check on the child who was still sniffling in her sleep, obviously traumatized by the stupid bitch I drained. As Bella comforted the child into a deep sleep I faked a robbery, and took care of the corpse in the nearby vineyard.

In a few minutes it was all done.. Bella and I stayed hidden close to the villa till we saw the parents car approch, thank goodness they were home, and the world was less a fourth asshole for the night.

"Jasper let's get back to the castle, there is so much to talk about and I want to play with some emotions just for fun." Bella said in almost a mischievous tone, dawning a huge smile, after an eventful first hunt.

"Fine with me Darlin', besides you could ask me to go to Timbuktu and I would for you, but I am sure you know that." I said playfully while she grabed my hand and we darted back to the castle.

"Of course, Jazz.. On the other hand, one day I really do want to visit Romania." Bella stated out of the blue, and then looked like she wanted to blush, yet there was no chance she could.

"Darlin' then I tell you what one day when you've been a vampire just a tad bit longer, i will definitely take you to Romania." I said with a sincere smile.

We continued to talk and joke and take our time getting back, for the first time in my whole exsistence I was at peace and finally happy about who I really was, and I finally had an equal partnership in this life. It was going to be some kind of an adventure.
