Hi there!

New chapter ^_^. Hope you enjoy it. I'm not sure how good it is.


It's a bit of a surprise that he'd take Bella back to his house.

Isn't that the first place the pack will look?

Yes, Sam would see the scene I had set up for him, but he would smell the two vampires too, he would undoubtedly chase after the scent and end up here.

The Cullen's house.

Leah huffed as she padded towards the front door.

Jasper's scent was strong, but Bella's was stronger, she had still been bleeding when she entered the house.

Leah looked down at a small pool of blood by the door, Jasper had hesitated before entering the house, why?

She pushed the door open with her head and walked inside slowly, she wanted to phase back to her human body, but she wasn't sure if there would be danger for her when she entered.

The house itself was quiet, too quiet.

Leah laughed at herself as the thought crossed her mind, that was the kind of line people used when something was about to happen. She turned over her shoulder with a bit of apprehension, half expecting someone to be there holding a knife up, ready to stab her.

There was no one and Leah shook her head, she had watched too many scary movies growing up, besides how was a person with a knife supposed to hurt her?

She was a giant wolf.

Leah huffed as she turned around to go up the stairs, and jumped when she saw Jasper standing in front of her with his face and clothes soaked in blood.

The hairs on her back stood on end at the sight.

He's killed Bella!

Without hesitation Leah jumped Jasper and pinned him to the floor, prepared to tear him apart.

To her surprise he didn't move, it seemed he anticipated the attack but did nothing to stop it.

She leaned down and growled, her snout nearly touching his face.

She wanted to see fear on his face, terror in his eyes before she killed him.

He stared at her, with a bit of curiosity and another thing Leah couldn't place.

After several seconds of intense glaring on her part Leah grew tired of it and phased right on top of him.

He seemed undeterred by the change and continued looking at Leah, a new shine in his eyes.

Leah lost herself in the golden pool of Jasper's eyes, and stared in amazement as they slowly started to darken.

She took it to be anger, but his lips began twitching up in a contained smile.

"What the hell is so funny?" Leah growled.

Her intention of killing him forgotten.

Jasper grinned, "You're naked."

Leah lost all her anger that second and she was off of Jasper in a flash, throwing on her clothes as fast as she could.

She looked up to see Jasper looking away from her.

"There."

Jasper looked at her and Leah still saw the same glint in his eyes, though the smile had disappeared.

'What a shame, he has a great smile'

Leah shook her head when she realized what she had thought and instead focused on Jasper's blood soaked clothes.

"Where's Bella?"

"Downstairs."

Jasper accompanied the response with a nod of the head towards the stairs.

It confused Leah, she hadn't known there was a downstairs, she didn't even see a way to get downstairs.

"The room is heavily padded so that even we can't hear what's going on inside," Jasper sighed, "Believe me, you don't want to hear the screams."

Leah's eyes narrowed, "So what, you guys have a room where no one would hear a screaming human?"

"Well, I know how that sounds, but that's not what the room is used for."

Leah knew then, that if vampires had blood, Jasper would be blushing.

She merely nodded at him and turned away from his intense stare. After several minutes of silence she turned back to see him still staring at her.

"Could you please change?"

Jasper looked down to his clothes.

"Ah, I apologize. I had to take down some fast food before sucking some venom out of Bella. I completely forgot I would have someone coming in. One moment."

With that he headed upstairs and came down seconds later in clean clothes.

"Why did you have to take venom out?" Leah asked confused.

She thought that it changed the humans, she didn't know it could be prevented, why would Bella be screaming then?

"Too much venom can kill a human."

"Oh," Leah said.

Well that explains that, but why hadn't he just taken all the venom out then?

As if reading her thoughts Jasper said, "She had already lost too much blood for me to take more venom out."

Leah nodded absently, she didn't know what else to do.

She had come into the house with a purpose, but now she had no idea what that had been.

She turned to Jasper who smiled.

"We should talk," he said.

Leah sighed but nodded.

"This seems like an excellent spot, I mean we've had the land forever so it will be great to finally build a house right?" Emmett looked from face to face, eager to see the same enthusiasm he had, "Come on guys cheer up!"

Everyone stared at the spot where they were planning to build the house with a stoic expression.

"Guys?" Emmett looked at everyone with a hopeless expression on his face.

"Emmett, they aren't as psyched as you to have to build a house. Personally I think it's healthy that you are ready to move on. I think the rest of the family should take a page out of your book and follow suit."

Emmett stared at Edward, and tilted his head to the side.

Edward laughed at the confused look on his face.

"Should you and I start digging the foundation while the rest of the family goes out for the supplies?' Edward said.

Emmett grinned and nodded as he flexed his muscles.

Edward turned to his family, and frowned when he couldn't get a clear read on anyone, except Alice who kept chanting Jasper and Bella's name in her head.

Rosalie pulled her away as the family went to get the materials ordered for their new home.

After being sure they were out of earshot Edward turned to Emmett who was trying to dig through the frozen dirt.

"What's with Alice?

Emmett put down a now broken shovel and sighed, he looked over the direction that the family had gone off too.

Edward read his thoughts, thinking he'd get something from him, but he didn't get much.

'Alice, sad. Build big closet for her.'

Edward shook his head and wondered what Rosalie saw in him.

"She hasn't been able to see Jasper, and she tried to look for Bella, but Chief Swan called in his friend's son, so Alice can't see Bella's future."

"What?" Edward dashed up to Emmett, face a few centimeters away. He searched Emmett's mind to see if he was lying.

Emmett was conveniently thinking about the moment Alice realized she couldn't see Bella.

Edward growled.

"Yo man, chill. I didn't do anything!"

Edward switched his attention to Emmett's face.

"Sorry, I just don't like the idea of Bella around a wolf," Edward sighed and looked away from Emmett.

That way Emmett didn't see the scowl on Edward's face, or the fact that his eyes had darkened considerably.

Having a wolf near Bella would make it harder for him to get to her.

"No worries, I'm sure the guy won't be around her too long. She still has to go to school right? Besides she doesn't like the guy much," Emmett laughed, "Who would? All the mutts reek."

Emmett's laugh dislodged some snow from some nearby trees, which only made Emmett laugh louder.

Edward growled at Emmett's childishness, but appreciated the fact that he was the only one not shielding his thoughts. He was getting good information from him.

His family would build the house, it would take approximately two weeks for it to be built and furnished. They would work as slowly as they could stand, to try to keep their minds off Bella and Jasper.

Emmett started digging with the broken shovel, Edward watched him for several minutes before he too joined him.

The dirt was frozen, so it helped that they weren't human, what didn't help was that the shovels were so fragile. After two days, they dug deep enough that the ground had softened and they were done digging.

Emmett looked at the giant hole that they had made.

"You think we could make a home theatre?"

He looked at Edward and smiled, waiting for an answer.

Edward shrugged his shoulders and jumped out of the hole, he could hear the rumbling of trucks and as he searched the horizon he could make out some trucks pulling material their way.

"They're back."

Emmett appeared next to him with a grin, "Rosie looks hot driving them big rigs."

Edward looked over at Emmett, his thoughts were simple, his families weren't.

Even now at this distance Edward could begin to make out some of their thoughts.

"There is something wrong with Alice Emmett."

Without questioning him Emmett ran towards the trucks and Edward watched him go with a smirk on his face.

Emmett rushed into the nearest truck and yelled, "Where's Alice?"

Rosalie looked at him then back towards where Edward had been standing.

He was gone.

Rosalie stopped the truck and waited for the rest of the family, Emmett got out and waited silently as Alice got out of the last truck.

"Can you even see over the wheel little girl?" Emmett said as he grinned.

Alice chucked a snowball at Emmett and laughed when it hit him.

Emmett chuckled before turning a serious face to Carlisle.

"Edward was acting a bit off. Too friendly," Emmett turned to Alice, who had a glazed look on her face, "He was acting nice."

"Did you tell him I lost sight of Bella?" Alice walked towards the hole Emmett had dug and inspected the size of it.

"Yeah. Did you call the wolves?" Emmett said.

He watched as the family exchanged a look.

"What happened?" Emmet looked at Alice who's shoulder's were sagging.

"We spoke to an elder," Carlisle said as he stepped closer to Emmett, "He assured us he would have the pack deal with Edward," Esme began sobbing, "But they said Bella has disappeared, and last they heard, it was a female vampire that took her."

"That's not what was supposed to happen, I didn't want that for her, not for her," Alice began sobbing.

Emmett walked over and picked Alice up. He rocked her slowly and began whispering in her ear. Rosalie watched the pair and walked over to them, placing a hand on Alice's hair and running her fingers through it slowly.

"Did they say anything about Jasper?" Emmett whispered, knowing they would hear him.

"They said he killed Victoria, but that Bella died. They said there was too much blood for her to have survived," Carlisle sighed, "The alpha, Sam, thinks that Jasper left with the body so Charlie wouldn't have to see the remains, they asked us to give her a proper burial."

Emmett hugged Alice tighter to his body.

"But we know that she's fine right? That Bella is changing?" Emmett looked at where he dug the house, thinking of all the plans he'd had for Bella's room. "She'll be coming home right?"

"Alice?" Emmett's voice cracked as he looked from face to face.

Emmett sobbed as he began rocking Alice faster when she started shaking.

Suddenly there was a gasp and Emmett froze, looking down at Alice who looked like she was in the middle of a vision. His heart broke when he saw her face twist in pain and she grabbed at her ears.

"Make her stop screaming. Please make her stop!"

Everyone looked at Alice, Esme and Carlisle where by her side trying to talk to her.

She continued to cover her ears.

Esme took her from Emmet's arms and began humming.

"Alice, who's screaming?" Rosalie asked, a hopeful tone in her voice.

Emmett held on to her tightly, afraid that he would lose her if her hopes were shattered.

"Bella," Alice gasped.

Relief flooded through everyone when Alice came out of the vision. She was visibly shaken by what she had seen, but a smile slowly began appearing on her face.

"She's alive."

/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/

Edward raced through the forest, thinking only of heading to La Push.

If he had known the wolves blocked Alice's visions he wouldn't have waited so long to come after Bella.

Finally he would be able to taste her blood.

It took him two days to get to Forks.

He had stopped to hunt on the way, he didn't want to just kill Bella the moment he saw her.

He wanted to drain her slowly.

Savor the taste of her blood.

Once he crossed into Forks he sped up, not wanting to prolong the moment he tasted Bella at last.

He was half way to Bella's house when a flash in the trees made him stop.

'I heard through the grapevine that the pack was supposed to take care of you.'

Edward growled as he looked around for his opponent. He didn't hear anything.

'Someone close to me told me, you read minds.'

Edward crouched and prepared to attack the moment he saw who was challenging him.

'Something extremely interesting, that he can't explain, is the fact that your kind can't hear my heartbeat when I'm in this form. Isn't that convenient? If I just stand very still behind you…'

Edward tensed, hot breath hit the back of his neck making his hair stand on end.

A wet nose touched his neck and he shuddered, the creature behind him huffed and Edward flinched. He started running a second later. A large growl ripping through the forest and chilling his bones.

He thought he had escaped it, but when he paid close attention he heard the soft sounds of something moving across the forest floor.

It shocked him, it shouldn't be possible for something that big to move through the forest so silently.

Teeth snapped at the side of his head and Edward ducked away, changing the direction he was running.

He thought he had turned sharply, and was surprised to see the wolf kept up with him. He ran away from the wolf, every time he changed direction he thought he'd lost it, only to have it catch up minutes later.

It started to run after him faster, tearing at his clothes, and with a shock Edward realized the wolf was playing with him. If it had wanted to kill him it would have done so already.

He decided to make a run for the ocean, where he knew he would be faster.

He made a mad dash through the trees, and stopped when he realized he wasn't being chased anymore.

He looked through the trees, his eyes wild.

His head snapped in the direction of a loud huff.

'I am not exactly ready to reveal myself, so I guess I'll let you go.'

Edward sighed as he felt relief flood through him as he heard the truth of that statement.

'I just want you to keep one thing in mind.'

Edward tensed, the voice had darkened, it sent a shudder through his body and he felt his knees grow week.

'Keep in mind, as they tear you apart. That I would have made it hurt a hundred times worse.'

Edward hardly had time to realize what the voice said before three wolves jumped at him from different sides and took hold of him, tearing his arms from his body.

He screamed as one tore at his legs.

He could see the large one begin to lunge at his neck.

The only thing he kept thinking was the voice in his head, telling him he'd gotten off easy, before the black wolf tore his neck apart.


KIlled him too fast?

Review ^_^ I would appreciate your thoughts.
