Chapter 4

Jasper

I waited patiently as Bella had to get ready, and do human things. Just having the scent near me was fine enough. I had honestly smelled nothing like that in my extended life, and I was glad that I was smelling it, now. I could get used to smelling this for everyday of the rest of my life.

Finally she went into her room, and got dressed, did her hair, and everything that a normal girl would do. But that was the word, normal. She thought her self completely normal, and astonishingly plain. She wasn't she was completely different. In all of my conversations that I'd ever had with her – and everything that Edward had ever said – I could tell that. I saw why Edward was so taken with this girl.

Finally she was done, and she happily came out of her room to meet me. We walked downstairs, at a loss of anything else to do. But we were both happy, and had been the other day, just doing nothing.

Plus, snuggling up together gave us something to do, but I didn't want to do that and face the wrath of Edward. And what would that look like? I mentally shook my head. I had to be careful, and what's more, Edward had to be careful. We had to make sure that we stayed completely I character. I, myself didn't think that I was doing a particularly bad job; in face, Bella seemed to like having me around just as much as Edward did.

We a car arrive, and come to a stop. She looked up to me as if to ask who was there, but I just smiled. It would be fun having Emmett back – the house was just too serious without him.

I took Bella to sit down, and we watched the door, to see them come in.

"I'm ho-ome!" Emmett bellowed, throwing open the front door. Always one for big entrances, always. He had a massive grin on his face.

Rosalie followed behind her husband, lugging a few bags. They were quite large and bulky, but Rosalie had the strength of about ten human men, so she was fine there. Emmett, however had few, and I suspected that he didn't bring as many clothes because he had to plenty most of the trip without them. I laughed at the thought, and grinned down at Bella's puzzled look. She thought that I was reading their minds or something, because she just shrugged, and continued snuggling me. So comfortable...

"Move it, Em. I don't wanna be in this doorway all night!" Rosalie said snippily, attempting to push Emmett.

"Of course, Rose. I suppose that you would want to get in, so that we can go upstairs to our bed and start-"

"Emmett!" Rose said, whacking him with a bag as I cleared my throat and Bella blushed. I could never think how Emmett could just say things like that so easily. "Just move..." Rose said, going through the bit of the doorway that was free.

WE heard the duo making their way upstairs, and dumping their bags in their room with a loud thud. Rosalie was quickly rushing around – probably putting the bags away by the sound of it, and we heard Emmett's laughed as something ripped.

We really didn't wanna know.

Rosalie then giggled, and another loud thud could be heard along with some crashing and banging. There were sounds of someone thrashing around, and then came a moan. I quickly covered Bella's ears and laughed. Then walked over to the kitchen quickly. They were filling me up with lust, and it was getting really annoying. I had to be away from Bella, even if it was only for a few minutes.

But, to my surprise, Bella came in after me, a small blush across her face, giggling. She looked adorable when the blood rushed to her cheeks like that

"Edward..." she began, looking up at me with those wide, chocolate eyes.

"Yes, Bella?" I answered, looking back at her, and mirroring her expression.

"Well, we know what Rose and Emmett are doing..."

"Yeah..." I replied, unsure about where this was going.

"Well, you must know what they are thinking. How much they like it..."

I now frowned. What was she talking about? I didn't want to know what they were thinking, at all.

"Why don't you want that?" She asked in a hurt voice. "We'd both be so much happier. Come on, you know we would..."

I sighed. "No, Bella."

"But why? Come on, tell me the real reason why you won't... You want it too, you know you do. How much longer will we have to wait?"

"Bella, please, stop it. We are not going to do this..." I tried to look for an excuse, and then I saw one that Edward would use. "... not while you're so breakable. I can't risk it, we can't. Please Bella, can't you just wait?" I asked urgently, my voice going quieter. I noticed that Edward did that sometimes. And it was a good excuse – Bella was too fragile. She couldn't be hurt. I wouldn't

"But I don't want to wait, and I'm sure you don't want to, either. Just change me now, and in a few days, we'll be ready for it. Please?" She asked, unhappily.

"No." I replied. "You can't just disappear from you family, suddenly." Hey, I was getting good at these excuses. I don't think I'd ever used as many before., although I was sure that Edward would call them reasons, instead.

She sat beside me with an unhappy look on her face, and her unhappiness rubbed off on me. I wished that there was something that I could do, but there wasn't.

We stood there in silence, until she walked away.

Edward's POV

I stood there, grimacing. I had heard every word of the conversation, every single word. Sure, Jasper was right to give those excuses that I would have given. And he handled it how I would have done.

But she was unhappy. Jasper had done that, Jasper had made her unhappy.

Which made me unhappy.

I thought that it still would have gone that way, but I still had to be angry at him for upsetting her. Bella, my Bella. My beautiful. My heart, my soul, my everything – off-limits. Why the hell had any of this happened? I didn't believe that everything happened for a reason – especially not now. No, this was just a disaster, I could feel it. Everything could, would go wrong. Everything. And all because something freaky happened.

But how had it happened? Why? How could it be reversed? How could everything be right, normal, sane again?I sat with my head in my hands for god knows how long, just trying to clear mind mind, and just forget everything. Forget about Jasper and Bella. Snuggling on the couch. Kissing upstairs, being so happy with each other, being so normal with each other. Acting like nothing had happened, like they'd be together forever. That was my place, my job, my Bella.

I was loosing it. In the midst of everything going wrong, I was also loosing it. I couldn't think straight, I couldn't think properly about my Bella. It wasn't the same, she wasn't the same – I must have been loosing my senses. I felt numb, and it was hard to get any emotion about anything except anger. The scariest part? I could barely feel my love for Bella. Everything was going wrong, totally, utterly wrong. Everything...

I cursed Jasper. It may not have been his fault, but he played a part in this, and that was all it took. He was with MY Bella. And that, I couldn't stand. He was keeping her safe, keeping her well – how long until he killed her? How long until his blood lust settled back in, and I was chasing him across the country for revenge? I'd kill him, I would, harming on hair of her head – it would happen, I knew it, and I had to be ready.

It could be happening soon.

Now.

I was going insane, and paranoid with worry. How long until he cracked, and he went for it?

Until then, Bella was in danger.

Completely in danger. With my new feelings, I couldn't trust him one bit with her.

Even if he didn't mean it, and he just slipped up... just one tiny bit, it was just so easy to do it by accident...

What if no one else was there?

We couldn't stop him?

He kills Bella?

No more Bella... no more...

No, I'd be lost without her.

I couldn't let him.

She was mine...

Mine...

He couldn't.

He couldn't have her.

He couldn't kill her.

I had to get her back, I had to reclaim her.

Get rid of the threat.

I had to get rid of him. My own brother.

How could I do this without the rest of the family joining in?

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" The shriek could be heard from a mile away. What was going on? What...

Suddenly a tiny black and white blur burst on to the stairs where I was and dragged me upstairs. We ended up in Alice's room, with Alice herself looking completely fearful and looking at me like I was mad.

I looked at her like she was crazy. Why had she brought me up here?

"Alice?"

"Jasper! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?"

I looked at her with a puzzled look on my face. What was Alice on about? Where was Jasper? Where was he? I needed to kill him, before it was too late...

Alice shrieked again, pulling at her hair, and in tears.

"No, no. Jasper, what-? Don't, don't please, don't jasper, please, what are you thinking? No, no, no! Jasper! What's going on? Why? Jasper! Don't! Why were you even thinking that? What's going on? Jasper!" she sobbed in hysterics.

I was still puzzled. "I have to. I have to keep Bella safe. I have to." I answered, with desperation. "She's not safe with Jasper, she's not safe, she can't..."


Alice POV

I was still puzzled. "I have to. I have to keep Bella safe. I have to." I answered, with desperation. "She's not safe with Jasper, she's not safe, she can't...

My Jasper, my love, what was going on? Why did he have to keep Bella safe? Why did he have to keep her safe from himself? How would that involve Edward? This was wrong, all wrong, this couldn't be happening.

But how could I stop it?

I was just peacefully thinking, and then it comes to me. Vivid, bright, crystal clear... why was Jasper going to kill Edward? What had he done? What was going on? Why was this all happening? Why?

"Jasper, Jasper, please stop!" I whispered, unable to look at him. How could, he wouldn't – what had made him decided to go after Edward?

Why did my husband suddenly want to kill our brother? And why did he want to do it to keep Bella safe? It was not right, Bella would be so unhappy...

I was surprised with another vision now.

I was watching Edward and Jasper getting up off the floor after hitting their heads.

"...Huh?" Jazz said, rubbing his forehead, while looking at what he was wearing. Edward looked at Jazz, clearly confused.

"You're... and I'm... we're back..."

Back? Back where? They were in this house. Were they leaving? Why?

"Ah, Alice!" Jasper said, spotting me. I didn't know that I was actually present in the vision. "Alice... I'm so glad to see you, to be back!" He said, happily.

"What?" I said, confused. What was going on? I'd seen Jasper enough, and he wasn't going anywhere...

"Alice, we... haven't been ourselves for the past few days. I'm sorry. I don't know what – or how it happened, it just did." He said, embracing me.

"What?" I repeated distantly. This made no sense. Why didn't it make sense?

"Alice... I don't know. We were knocked unconscious the other day, do you remember?"

I nodded.

"And when we woke up, we... weren't ourselves. In fact, we were each other..."

"I don't... understand?" I replied, it coming out as a question.

"Alice, we were... in each other's bodies, I suppose. Well, our minds were... WE... I was Edward, and I was staying with Bella..."

"I was with you." Edward added, finally talking, but not looking at me.

Was this what it was about? So the Jasper with me now... was really Edward?

As the vision faded, I faced Jasper – or Edward.

"So... so, Edward..."

He looked straight at me, a mix of emotions in his face.

"Why do you have to kill Jasper?" I picked out my words carefully.

"Bella. She's not safe. So much tastier, so much better in my body. Jasper can smell how good she is... he might crack... and hurt Bella, my poor Bella... Jasper can't... I won't let him... Bella... Bella..."

"Edward." I said firmly, getting his attention again. "Bella is not in danger, and Jasper won't kill her. I would have seen it. Relax, Edward... please..." I said. I was astonished at how normal this felt, but oh well.

"You haven't seen it? I'll know. You have to let me know. Know... I can't let him... TELL ME!"

"Okay!" I replied to his sudden demand. "I will tell you, I will. Calm down, Edward." Calm down. AS if he would. As if my brother ever calmed down. "It will be okay." It would be far from okay... Edward seemed insane.
