Chapter Seven:
Quick decisions don't often work:
Jasper's POV
We waited around for what seemed like forever before Bella showed up. I took Alice's hand and ran with her in the forest to where Carlisle was with Edward. Carlisle was talking to him calmly and trying to get him to turn back around.
I wasn't having any of it. My brother was an idiot. End of story. Move on. Rosalie entered then and Emmett pinned her up against the wall, rather harshly but she needed to be kept out of this. Esme took his place and tried to calm her down.
The ground began to shake beneath me.
Edward growled angrily and ran forwards; across the border, I ran after him and pinned him on the ground. A wolf with reddish coloured fur jumped out of nowhere and tore me away from him. I growled loudly and I jumped back up, in a crouching stand instantly. The wolf growled low at me and ripped my arm away from me. Emmett jumped in between us and pushed the wolf backwards. It was Jacob. As a wolf. An angry wolf at that. Not good. Not good at all.
Edward stood and growled loudly at Jacob, Bella ran in between them and put her hands up.
"I'm tired of this!" She yelled, hadn't she said that before? "I'm saying this on Renesmee's behalf. She loves you both and she needs you both."
Jacob gave a low growl. "She's dead, Bella! Our daughter's dead." Edward snapped. I flinched slightly and Carlisle began to work on my right arm, re-attaching it. I hissed slightly and Alice came down next to me. She took my left hand and kissed it softly, I forced a smile out at her and focused in on the scene behind her. Jacob let our another growl and ran out into the forest back across to his land.
"There goes the treaty." Emmett muttered sarcastically,
"Thank you, Emmett." Carlisle replied and shook his head. He turned to Edward, "What have you done, son?"
"You all don't understand. She's dead. She's never coming back. When are you all going to realize that! She died for nothing!" He pointed to Bella and I growled low at him, standing slowly, my arm attaching slowly.
I didn't care who he was. Nobody talked to a lady like that while I was around. He turned to me and jumped slightly. "Jasper?" He asked me, clearly confused. W-Why was he looking at me like that? Bella stood up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder. I turned to her and took a step backwards. She felt...lustful? Towards me. Was that possible? No. She loved my brother. I didn't feel that way about her. No.
"Never talk to Bella like that again." I growled low at him, he nodded, terrified and backed away. He ran away at his top speed and Emmett and Carlisle both followed him. Bella stared at me with wide eyes and shrugged. I raised an eyebrow at her and she gasped then vanished.
I let out a slow breath and Alice skipped over to me. She wrapped her arms around my back and I held her close to me. I kissed her temple and she whispered in my ear. "I love you. Thank you for not hurting anyone."
"Now why would I do that, Darlin'?" She pulled back and smirked, she leant up and kissed me softly. Rosalie and Esme left then and went back to the house. Everything was a mess. The only thing which I knew was right was Alice, she was everything that I needed.
Bella's POV:
Edward got back to the house before me and when I walked up the drive, he was standing in the doorway. Frozen. I ran up behind him and walked inside, where was Seth? I looked around hesitantly.
"Seth? You here?" I asked into the darkness. I switched on the light to make it easier for me. Everything was exactly the same as before, except Seth was nowhere to be seen. The baby was still in the cot. Renesmee; My daughter was still dead. I heard Edward's low growl behind me erupt as I closed in on my granddaughter. She stared up at me with massive eyes, I lifted her up and turned to Edward.
"Don't you want to hold her, Edward? She's your granddaughter." I reminded him.
"No. She killed our daughter. I hate her. She deserves to be killed." I put her back in the cot and walked towards him.
"Is that how you felt about Renesmee when she killed me?" I asked, he stared at me with a hurt expression.
"N-No. I...I can't lose anybody else." He wasn't making any sense. I dashed in front of him and wrapped my arms tightly around him.
"You aren't going to lose anybody else, Edward. I love you and you won't ever lose me. Or Renesmee. She's still here. I can feel her." He kissed my neck softly, I rested my head on his shoulder and we stayed like that for a while. Just holding each other, I didn't know what else to do. I was in extraordinary pain when he was going through this before.
