A.N. . . . . . . . . . . Well I told you to expect a quick update, and here it is. Thank you to all those that read the first six chapter's, and to those who reviewed. Here's chapter 7, happy reading. JP.
Bella's face registered horror as she witnessed Jasper edging closer, an emotion she was sure she emitted as she watched him drop to his knees in pain. She could hear Alice trying to tell her something, but the words didn't register as she was struck by how sick Jasper looked. The last time she had seen him was in the clearing after the battle with the newborns, and the stand off with the Volturi, he had been in pain then, but now he looked as though he was barely holding onto life.
His usually unruly golden locks were plastered to his head, with what Bella could only presume was sweat, but could vampires even do that? She fought against the tears that wanted to fall, as she witnessed for the first time the true extent of Jasper's damaged skin; his scars, even in the dim light, seeming to be more pronounced against his snow white skin, seeming red and inflamed upon his body. As she looked closer she could see red raw marks trailing down his face, marks that looked suspiciously like they had been left by fingernails, but she knew how hard it was to damage vampire skin, so that would mean brutal force had been made, was her friends husband in that much agony? Looking at the way he grasped his head, and the way his body shook violently, Bella figured he was, and pity, and fear, and love joined up with the horror to create a bag of emotions so strong within her, she positively radiated with them. She jumped as Jasper screamed in agony, as at the same time Alice struck her across the face breaking her train of thought away from the stricken vampire.
"Bella you need to calm down, all your emotions are hurting him." Her friend spoke, her words finally registering.
Bella wanted to ask what Alice meant, wanted to ask how she was hurting him, but Alice's attention was back on Jasper. She battled her inner thoughts, tried to school her emotions down as she was asked too, but she couldn't quite stop all of them, she was scared and worried and wanted Edward to be here with her. Her fears must have attracted Maria's attention, for the vampire spoke for the first time in a while.
"Ah, I see my guess was right. You do love him." She asked of Bella, stepping closer to Jasper as she did so. "She is beneath you, my love, so plain and normal looking. How could you think to stay with her, when you could love this?" She asked, her hands roaming her own lithe body as she did so.
Alice gasped as she heard words come from her husbands mouth, words so soft only she could hear them, years of living together attuning her into him. "Jasper." She whispered back, trying to stop him from speaking anymore, but she knew she was too late, knew that Maria had heard his mumbles, but not the words. She could only watch as her husbands head was viciously wrenched up, could only watch as Maria demanded he speak again, could only watch as Jasper spoke once more her name and his love for her, could only watch as Maria's red eyes glinted with hatred and realization.
"So it wasn't the human after all? It was you?" Maria spat out, dropping Jasper's head back down, and laughing as he shook once more from the emotions being radiated, this time the rage from her. She looked at Alice, who now stood protectively before Bella, smirking before dropping down to the ground beside her old love. "He is so tantalizing though isn't he? So irresistible, even now. She traced her hands down his quaking form, laughing at the sheer anger upon Alice's face at her actions, anger she could tell she was trying to keep from Jasper. She pulled the nearly limp vampire up against her chest, ignoring the stiffening of his body as he battled against the unfamiliar body he knew wasn't his wife's; but he was weak, and Maria strong, pulling his back up so that it rested against her chest.
Maria looked at Alice as she bent Jasper's head to the side, exposing his neck, loving the look of fear that flittered briefly across the younger vampires face, instead of biting though she ran her tongue down his flesh stopping at a particularly bad scar. "You see this?" She asked. "I caused this. This is the scar from when I turned him. He hated me that night, but that feeling didn't last."
She kept her mouth where it was, but moved her hand down Jasper's exposed chest, her fingers coming to a stop on a ragged scar that ran through his left nipple. "This was created the first time we made love. Oh how he bucked beneath me that day." She moaned slightly as though remembering a good time, and laughed even more as her actions caused Alice to tremble in fury.
Her hands moved lower, trailing down Jasper's sides until they turned and rested against the top of his jeans. Alice growled and inched her way forward, as Maria toyed with the smattering of hair that trailed down beneath the denim, only to stop as the older vampire moved them back up to rest against his belly button. "This one was created after we successfully took over a coven on the Mexican border. He was always better after a fight, turning all his pent up anger and adrenaline into an all night fest of love."
"And this one." Maria taunted, her hand moving lower once more, her fingers slipping beneath Jasper's jeans to a place that was Alice's, and Alice's alone. "I bet you can guess how this one came about?"
Alice's anger boiled over, too many hours had she been witness to her husbands suffering, to watch him now be handled like some cheap piece of meat, was too much. Her anger boiled over, she could no longer wait for the others. She had to strike, and with lightening speed she did so, crashing into Maria with such force, they were both thrown across the clearing.
