Hugs kisses and Venison Jerky to all of you who have read, reviewed or story marked my attempt at writing. A special shout out to NCCHRIS and Alithea Volturi thanks for your reviews. This is mostly a Bella Edward Chapter with very minimal Jasper but whats to come is definitly hinted at. Just a note for you Team Edward fans, he is not going to be portrayed in the best light but I promise I will give him a chance to redeem himself.

I Don't own twilight. Its not my fault. Stephanie Meyers does.

Just a little sidenote. Jacob will be making a few cameos in this but he is NOT a major character in my story. Sorry. Don't hate me.

A rustling sound from the woods had all the men's heads turn towards the glass doors that overlooked the backyard. A hulking figure came out of the shadows which put them on all their defenses. As the figure stepped into the light they realized it was Bella carrying a deer carcass on her back. As she effortlessly walked across the lawn she deposited it on the patio and brushed her hands off with a smug look on her face.

"Yoo-hoo Emmett!" she trilled "I have something I think you would like to see!"

As Emmett rushed out the door the three ladies walked up with their arms around each others shoulders intently looking at Emmett's face to see his reaction. Emmett looked down at the deer carcass in confusion.

"Uhm Bells this is already drained" he said. Then slowly stated with a patronizing look on his face "We. Only. Eat. Animals. That . HAVE. Blood."

"Look a little closer Emmy" she said with glee in her voice.

As she said this Emmett looked down and scratched his head trying to figure out the puzzle. As he got to the antlers his eyes widened in shock and he began to count points on his fingers.

"OH MY GOD 14 points REALLY!!! I am SO PROUD OF YOU," he bellowed scooping her up in his arms and twirling her in a circle.

The backyard filled with laughter as the rest of the family excluding Edward watched the spectacle before them.

"I hate to be a buzz kill dear, but didn't you only get a 12 pointer on your first trip?" Rose asked with an innocent look on her face.

"Wait. WAIT a minute! You're right! Bella, oh we are so going to have to have a hunt-off because I will not take Defeat lying down!" Emmett roared with his chest puffed out like some cocksure sports star.

Bella just laughed and headed inside to get cleaned up. As she walked in through the doors Jasper leaned in and murmured to her, "well done he'll be unbearable for weeks and won't stop until you hunt together darlin'"

As Jasper called her darlin' a certain tingle ran up Bella's spine but she just brushed it off from the thrill of the hunt. She walked up the stairs to Edward's room or was it her room now also? She crept in and saw Edward sprawled out on the couch reading while her lullaby filled the room with serenity. The silence was broken when Edward beautiful voice caressed her ears, "How was your hunt my love, hopefully you are sated."

Bella walked over to him with a smile and sat down at his feet, "It was lovely, only one of the best feelings in the world."

As she leaned into him Bella looked down and realized what a mess she was.

"Edward I am going to take a quick shower and then get changed," she told him "we can talk about the hunt after I'm done?"

"We have all of eternity love." he replied in a voice that would make melted chocolate jealous but something in his face didn't match his words.

As she bent down to kiss him before her shower something felt wrong to her. She felt the love that she had for Edward in her heart but it wasn't that complete me, gut-wrenching feeling she had when she was a human. Pondering this she walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on. Shedding her dirty clothes Bella stepped under the warm spray and began to wash her hair and body. She lathered her hair with her favorite strawberry shampoo no doubts compliments of Alice. As the water poured down on her Bella had sometime to reflect on the past few hours and tried to figure out her new feelings towards Edward. She still loved him but it didn't feel right to say that she was in love with him anymore. Shit. Where did that come from? Edward was and always would be her soul mate. They were destined to be. She was his singer. But did everything about him now that they were on equal ground draw her to him? As Bella reached to turn the water off she sensed a presence behind her, turning quickly she noticed Edward watching her through the fog steamed shower walls.

"I'm sorry for startling you, it's just that you looked so beautiful in there with the water cascading down your body," Edward stammered " I only meant to bring you in a robe for when you were done."

Bella grinned at him through the glass and purred, "Well if you like the view so much why don't you come in and join me." sending him the sultriest look she could muster.

"I-I don't think that is a good idea love, I mean you just got changed and well I just don't thinks its safe," he managed to force out while watching Bella lightly caress her naked form while the water still poured down it.

Bella rolled her eyes in exasperation, "DAMN IT Edward I'm not fragile human breakable Bella anymore!!"

"I'm sorry it's just not a good move right now my love. It's not your fault its all me," he said and all but ran out of the bathroom leaving a very rejected Bella curled up on the floor of the shower.

As she cried on the floor of the shower all she could think about is how she wanted this change so that she and Edward could be together forever. But with him rejecting her offer of her whole self Bella was confused and very hurt. She understood why they could not take their relationship to another level while she was still human, but she wasn't anymore so why didn't her want her now. As she tortured herself with these thoughts Edward was fleeing the house leaving his family shocked and in disbelief.

As they watched him run off into the forest Alice's face went blank as she had a vision.

Bella was sobbing on the shower floor naked.

Jasper sensing her emotions went to the bathroom to figure out what was wrong.

Bella frantically clinging on to Jasper as he tried to calm her.

Jasper cradling Bella's naked body in his arms as he carried her to a guest room bed and placed her under the covers feeling a debilitating anguish the whole time.

Bella refusing to let Jasper leave her as she slipped into an oblivion of heartbreak and rejection.

Bella staying comatose for a whole day with Jasper by her side. Only coming out of it when Edward returned

As Alice came out of the vision she knew what must be done. How the threads of her and Jasper's time together were finally unraveling in order for theirs to be tied with someone else. She loved Jasper but wanted true happiness more for the each of them. He knew from the very beginning what could happen because if he hadn't it would have made their lives much harder in the long run. The question is how was Edward going to react once her returned after abandoning her for the second time in 3 days in a great time of need.
