A/N; Thanks again to all of you that have reviewed my fic so far – its just so awesome hearing from you – makes me want to write more than ever. Alice didn't stop Bella from going to Jasper because she wanted Edward to catch them in the act – so to speak. She isn't Miss sweetness and light in my fic. Okay now for the good stuff…
Jasper's P.O.V.
I was completely captivated by Bella. The few hours I had spent in her company had only made me want her more, if such a thing was even possible. My body ached for her in a way I had never experienced before and her blood called to me every second we were together.
She was also kind, wonderful, delicious and intoxicating.
And I needed to fuck her soon before I did something drastic, like ravishing her against her will for instance...
My body had never needed anyone so badly. Normally I would have simply gone and found someone else to use to satisfy both my needs, but this time no one else would do – Bella was the only one I wanted to fuck, hers was the only blood I wanted on my lips. Today hadn't been the right time for it to happen, but soon I would have her right where I wanted her, I vowed to myself. The shit was about to hit the proverbial fan and I had to be focused and centered.
I knew of course that Alice would have 'seen' our meeting and everything else that had happened. She would tell Edward and he would fucking freak. His precious Bella spending time with me… Fuck it was going to drive him insane and I was enjoying the thought immensely. Somehow, Edward had always irritated me with his high moral standard and saintly attitude. I had never pretended to be what I wasn't, which is why I had always spent most of my time in the shadows of the Cullen family, because I had refused to act like a prissy idiot.
I rode into the garage, knowing that Edward and Alice were waiting for us. I could sense their emotions from miles away. When I knew someone well it was very easy to do.
Edwards face was set into a mask of torture and anger was radiating off him in waves. Alice looked just as angry. Her eyes sparkled with malice.
I felt Bella stiffen behind me as she finally saw them. I felt fear coming off of her. She tightened her arms around me and sat up straighter, lifting her chin in an unconsciously defiant gesture. I don't think she even realized she was doing it.
"It's okay, Darlin'. Let me handle this." I said to her softly. I saw Edward stiffen at the endearment. That made my day and I grinned at him evilly.
"What is going on here, Bella?" Edward said with a deadly soft voice.
"Nothing, we just went for a ride, Edward." She said, shrugging casually. She knew of course that they knew exactly what had happened.
"Because you couldn't stay away from the scarred freak, could you?" Edward shouted at her. I saw to my amazement that Bella was suddenly angry. Her brown eyes flashed as she got off the bike and walked towards Edward. My kitten has claws, I thought, thouroghly impressed.
"What did you just call Jasper?" She asked him.
"A scarred freak. That is exactly what he is. His hideous past, all the disgusting things he has done… and you let him put his hands on you. How could you Bella? Your are MINE!" Edward shouted into her face.
"At least he doesn't lie to me and act like I'm made out of porcelain, like you do. All you ever do is try to smother me and stop me doing anything at all!" Bella said, her voice had only risen slightly, although I could feel her intense anger.
"Well, you will not spend time with him again. I forbid it…" As he said this, he grabbed her arm and pulled her up to him. She struggled but of course she was no match for his strength.
I felt my anger rising as I saw Edward ill-treat my Bella. I wasn't sure when she had become my Bella, but she undoubtedly was. I didn't care what he called me or what he tried to do to me, he couldn't hurt me - but Bella was a different story. She was human; breakable and fragile. I growled as I got off the bike, a menacing warning vibrating through my chest.
"Stay out of this Jasper! You have done enough damage!" Alice said quickly as she saw I was about to defend Bella. " It won't end well if you interfere."
"For who?" I asked her, smirking. Then I looked straight at Edward. "Get your hands off of her!" I said.
Edward looked at me stupidly. "What? You are telling ME to keep MY hands off of her? She is MINE! My mate! I will do as I please. BUT YOU WILL KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF WHAT IS MINE!" He shouted at me.
He released her in that instant and pushed her to his left, towards the garage door. "Bella, go to the house. Now." He told her, obviously thinking she would obey him. He thought wrong. She stood there staring at me and I felt her fear and her trust in me. She knew I would sort this out – somehow.
"Come to me, Bella." I said softly. She obeyed without thought, walking quickly to me and standing behind me, before Edward could even grab her. He was so flabbergasted that he was as still as a statue. Alice's face was un-shocked and plenty angry.
I never took my eyes off Edward for a moment, I was aware of his every movement. I was in killer mode now. Fighting was what I did best.
I sunk down into a hunting crouch and faced Edward squarely. I grinned in anticipation. This had been a long time in coming.
"She is tired of you and your rules Edward." I sneered. "I think she deserves a real man now, don't you?" I tilted my head to the side regarding him insultingly.
"She is not going to be with you, you bastard!" Edward said
"Bella is mine, Edward. There is nothing you can do to change that."
As I said the words the truth of them hit me in the gut, almost flooring me. Could my feelings for Bella be more than lust? I just wanted to fuck her, right? So where was this shit coming from? Just challenging Eddie here, I told myself, I ignored any other explanation.
"Trust me Eddie, in a fight with me – you will lose. You have no idea who the fuck you are dealing with!" I added my grin turning to an all out snarl as Edward lunged for me. I grabbed him and threw him out of the garage and onto the driveway.
"I will be right back, darlin'." I said to a startled Bella and went after him. I was enjoying myself more than I had in a long time.
Edward attacked me again, trying to get me into a neck lock, probably trying to take my head off. I dodged easily and had my arm around his neck so fast even he didn't see it coming. I could have pulled his head off right then, but it was just too easy.
"Leave. Her. Alone." I snarled into Edwards ear. "Got it?"
He didn't reply and continued to fight me, so I lifted him and threw him into a small fir tree, snapping it in half.
"You will never have her Jasper. She deserves better than the likes of you, you fucking freak."
I chuckled darkly as I walked at human pace towards him again.
"And you think you deserve her? All you fucking do is control her every move. Maybe that's the only way you can keep her, right? You don't give a fuck about what she wants or needs, you are just a controlling asshole." I grinned. "If you want to control a woman, Eddie, there are better places for it… like in your sex life…. Oh that's right – you don't have one!" I laughed out loud then. "Bella deserves a real man, little boy. Step aside!"
Edward snarled and ran into me then, his shoulder connecting with my stomach. He pushed me through the dirt and grass until we hit a bolder, which shuddered and then cracked in half. I was losing my patience now; in fact I was fucking tired of his shit. I used my legs to kick him away from me, throwing him up and over the nearby tree, which must have been 100 feet tall. He fell on his knees in the dirt on the other side.
I advanced on him, deadly intent on my face and then I saw her. I had been too preoccupied with Edward, why had I ignored Alice? Maybe because I had thought that she was Bella's friend. I hadn't counted on the jealousy she would be feeling about us spending time together.
Alice held Bella by the neck. Her other arm around her shoulders in a deceptively casual gesture, her hard fingers at Bella's windpipe. The threat was clear in her eyes. I stared at her stunned as I realized I would have to leave Edward alone for now. Bella's wide brown eyes bored into mine, her emotions chaotic, I could feel them all intensely; fear – for me? Sadness at Alice's defection, these were the strongest.
"Alice, no!" I said walking towards her slowly, looking for an opening to grab Bella. Alice's eyes narrowed ominously – she knew me too well.
"Don't even try it, Jazz. Or I will kill her. Don't underestimate me." She said her voice firm.
"So what now? You want me to leave." I asked. "What about us?"
"You leave. Now. And don't come back. Bella belongs to Edward. If you interfere with that, I will call Aro. Its not looked kindly upon to separate a mated couple. Oh and there is no us, not anymore."
I laughed at her. "Alice, we both know that they are not true mates. Just like we never were either. Bella is simply his singer and also the one person he can't read – of course he wants her. It had nothing to do with love. And as for us, we should have ended this a long time ago."
"They are mates." She said stubbornly, raising her chin at me. "Go now, Jazz."
Edward had risen off the ground and went to stand besides her.
"Don't come back either, Jasper. Or we will involve the Volturi."
I smiled darkly at the threat. "You both don't know me very well if you think that your threats bother me at all."
I was angry that I couldn't simply grab Bella and run away with her. But she was so fragile compared to us. I couldn't involve her in an all out battle between three vampires. She would end up dead.
I hissed at Edward as I turned to leave. "This isn't over, Eddie. When the time is right, I will take your fucking head off."
And with that I ran off into the night. As I ran I felt a deep sadness and loneliness from the direction of the Cullens house. I knew they came from Bella. For some reason I couldn't get her haunted brown eyes out of my mind. I would be back to claim what is mine. Soon.
Bella's P.O.V.
He was gone. How could he leave me just like that? Obviously the threat of calling Aro had done its job, or maybe Alice holding me ransom had done it? Jasper had been amazing and deadly while fighting Edward; I had felt a strange sort of pleasure watching him defend me.
I felt nothing but anger towards Edward and Alice, but I pretended to play along with them. I had apologized to them, saying that I didn't know what had come over me. They believed that Jasper had used his gift to manipulate me.
I lay in my bed at my Dad's house, staring at the dark room morosely, wondering when I was ever going to see Jasper again, when I heard a scraping sound and then suddenly there he was. He came through the window and landed near my bed in a crouch, his honey colored hair hanging into his eyes; a grin on his sexy mouth, his eyes twinkled as he held a finger to his lips.
I shook my head and said; "He wont be here for another hour, until Charlie is asleep." And then I threw my arms around his neck. It was a moment or two before I realized that his eyes were a deep red. He had cheated, I realized. I wondered why I felt no fear for myself or regret for the stranger's lives he had taken, what was happening to me?
"You fed." I stated, touching his lips with my fingers lightly. A shudder ripped through him at my touch and his eyes positively glowed with a passion so intense it melted my insides.
"Doesn't it bother you?" He asked softly, examining my face closely. Obviously looking for signs of screaming and running.
"No, it doesn't. It's who you are." I said simply. "I know you wont hurt me."
He closed his eyes and sighed deeply. He came closer to me then and stroked my face, his cold fingers moving across my skin softly, from my eyes down my cheeks. They reached my mouth and instead of moving on they rubbed across my lips sensuously. A deep ache began between my legs as he pushed his one thumb firmly against my mouth asking to be let in. I wasn't sure what he was doing but I allowed him to push his finger into my mouth. Some instinct made me suck his finger as it slid into the depths of my mouth, massaging my tongue as it went. He groaned as he felt me suck and graze my teeth along his thumb. I didn't feel shy, as I often had with Edward, only slightly brazen – okay maybe a lot brazen. This seemingly innocent play was making my heart hammer and my breath come out in short pants. His intense eyes boring into mine, made a pulse throb insistently between my legs.
"Bella.." Jasper whispered as he sunk forward onto his knees and captured my mouth with his. His tongue surged into my mouth, filling me with his amazingly delicious taste. His tongue was doing wild and wicked things to mine. I shivered and slid my arms around his neck, tangling my fingers in his hair. He hovered over me then, pushing me backwards onto my bed, his hard, cold body covering mine completely. I parted my legs and he lay between them easily, his cock pushed against my heated, wet pussy. I whimpered with desire. I wanted him – now! But I had no idea what to do to satify the burning fire in my veins…I felt a pressure building inside me as Jasper rocked his hips against my core. I moved my hips against him, frustrated. He chuckled against my lips.
"Patience, Bella." He said. Patience! Was he crazy?
"I want you, Jasper." I said. It was the first time I had said it out loud. He grinned down at me.
"I want you too Darlin'; you can feel how much." He illustrated by thrusting his hard cock against my pussy again, making me moan and tighten my legs were they rested around his waist.
" But right now, we have got to leave. We are leaving Forks." He said seriously.
"Where are we going?" I asked without a moment's hesitation. And then, "What about Charlie?"
"You will see where we are going." He said cryptically. "Charlie will be fine. You can come back and say goodbye when the time is right. For now get dressed and pack a bag."
Desire receded as I realized that I was really doing this with Jasper – I was leaving Forks with a vampire who I knew had been feeding off of humans.
Was I crazy?
Yes, I was crazy about him. Nothing else mattered anymore, except that I could be with him. I wasn't sure how all this had come about but I did know that I had never felt more satisfied in my life. It was as if I had to be with Jasper. I couldn't explain this desire to anyone. But it was more powerful than anything I had ever felt in my eighteen years, more powerful than my feelings had been for Edward. Was this love? I asked myself. I didn't know the answer, but it didn't matter somehow.
I packed while Jasper waited by the window. I threw a few things, mostly jeans and sweatshirts into a carry all, along with my toiletries and hairbrush. I shrugged on a parka and without another glance at my room, I smiled up at him and said; "Lets go."
Jasper lifted me easily into his arms and jumped out of the window. There was a short rush of air going past me as he dropped and then he was running. I clung onto him, my arms around his neck, my head against his silent heart. Not one breath of air gave away the fact that we were flying through the forest, there was no wind tonight. I could just make out the dark shapes of the trees as we rushed by them.
Soon we reached a road and there parked in the dim moonlight was Jaspers truck. It was a Dodge Ram, double cab, dark tinted windows and absolutely huge tyres. I thought it suited him perfectly. He helped me into the dark cab and in a split second he was in the drivers seat. He leaned across and placed a short but passionate kiss on my lips. He smirked at me and started the engine. We were soon underway and I settled down to nap against the seat and door. I hesitantly reached across and put my hand on his leg, not sure of the reception I would get. But I wanted to be close to him. Knowing he could read my emotions I let my longing to touch him flood my being. He grinned at me and placed his cold hand over mine where it lay on his thigh.
"Goodnight, sweet princess." He said, jokingly. His red eyes glowed in the semi darkness. I closed my eyes. Tomorrow we would reach our destination, where ever that was and I knew that I was safe with my vampire.
