Thirst

Author's note: Hi everyone, enjoy another chapter and PLEASE review. This is kind of the turning point of the story, so please review! Thank you Trish, my beta, for working on this chapter!

Jasper POV

"Why am I driving towards Seattle?" I wondered.

Well, I at least know whom I would find in Seattle.

Bella…

And that explained everything. I had to see her, if not at school, somewhere else. And this was the perfect place….no one from my family knew where I was, I had slid right under their noses!

There were humans everywhere, enjoying their weekends-some with little babies, some just gossiping. It was very crowded and looking for someone with just their emotion was tough.

However, I somehow knew that Bella won't be here, she didn't like crowd –like me.

I started to sense Bella on the outskirts of the town. But as I reached near that one emotion, I sensed danger.

I could feel her being terrified, almost scared to death. It was extremely frustrating to know that the one person who could be your friend, who you would save from anything, is in grave danger…and how and from what to save her, you don't know. I couldn't even speed through this crowd!

Anger started to rise as I speed through a dark lane.

Next turn and I saw her- cornered by five men.

I have been through worst situations, where you have to live the emotion of your victim, just before his death. He dreaded you, thinking of you as the worst monster. Him craving to be saved but you can't save him from yourself…

But this was equally worse- the emotions of the men and what they wanted to do to her!

Bella was nothing to me, but I felt disgusted by what the guys felt, just as I felt pity for my victims. I almost wanted to kill myself rather than feeling what the rascals felt. But more than that I wanted to kill THEM.

I saw relief from Bella for me finding her, yet despair too as she felt they would hurt me…

"Look who's here…." The rowdy Wollongong mocked, "SUPERMAN to the rescue".

Their laughter pierced my ears still I restrained myself from….

"Listen dude, stay out of this" the other shouted. The leader of them stepping a final step closer to Bella and I lost it….and I struck.

Bella POV

Even being the trouble-seeker, this has been the worst I faced. I was trembling head to toe. My lips and voice was too shaky to even utter, "Jasper, they'll hurt you"

Not like I had any compassion for Jasper Cullen, but he was here to save me –inviting danger on him!

I couldn't see how he could handle five of them yet he did. He moved so fast I couldn't keep track of the fight. Did they already inform Jasper where were they going to hit? I thought looking on to Jasper, who was simply marvelous at the fight!

I sensed his rage radiating from his now shaking body. There was a weird similarity of a rapid animal with him, as if he was out of his mind.

He could have even killed everyone. There was already blood everywhere, the goons badly injured lay on the street, and I felt nausea.

Slowly walking up to him, I placed my hand on his shoulder. I felt the already hard muscles tighten under my touch. He was furious.

And he did save me, for as I looked around it was all bloody. Unable to see the scene in front of me, I abruptly hugged him as he turned on his heels as a response to my touch.

My whole body shivered-by wind or fear I don't know!

Jasper POV

Charged up, I was almost ready to finish someone off.

I was myself again after so long. I was at the battlefield where the objective is to kill. My rage scared me as I knew something wrong was about to happen.

Just then Bella's warm hand touched my back-her blood running fast through her veins, her heart pounding over her rib cage…human.

I turned slowly, even for a vampire. I was totally taken aback by the swirling emotions of Bella, the blood of the men, delicious wine-like blood of Bella and my own rage.

When she embraced me tightly in her arms, I was lost…wanting to be in her emotional atmosphere for ever and again wanting to drink her blood once and for all….I reached my heaven…

Bella POV

Just when I thought there was absolutely nothing to worry about and that my dream man was actually here to rescue me, two sharp canines pierced my neck… and I was on fire, not from the outside but it felt like I swallowed a lump of fire and it ran in my veins rather than blood.

Soon I was drowned in the dark sea of unconsciousness…
