Angela my Angel
Jasper ran faster. They had all heard the screams and the gunshots exploding from a rifle, the smell of blood had filled the air with the sounds and they all ran to meet it. Carlisle and Jasper were front-runners, Emmett carrying Nessie was slightly slower but they all arrived at the scene quickly. Emmett dropped Nessie carefully down at Jaspers side and dived on top of the boy with the gun. Nessie nursed Jacobs head, murmuring encouragement whilst taking the rifle and throwing it to Emmett, who twisted it in half in front of the boys face. Jasper ran to Angela, holding his hand over the blood coming from her shoulder.
"Angela, Ange its me, come on open your eyes," Jasper pleaded with her, his voice broke and he clutched her to him, "come on Ange, I know you're alive I can feel it, I love you, please." He touched her so lightly, but he could feel the heartbeat inside of her anyway. He didn't dare breathe, the smell was intoxicating, and he just listened. Then he felt it, small hands clutched at him and love spread all over, mingling with pain as she whispered.
"I love you to," was all he heard from her, and it was all he needed, he kissed her head and leant her back against the tree, she looked into his eyes, and he looked back at hers, but he saw nothing, he felt nothing and he heard nothing from her.
"Carlisle," he yelled in a strangled voice, "she…she needs you," he moved to her side and let Carlisle examine her, he strapped her foot properly and stopped the bleeding in her arm, but Jasper still heard nothing. "Carlisle, I don't hear a heartbeat, I don't hear anything, what do we do?" he stroked her face lovingly and held her hand, her eyes still didn't convey anything, his angel was still.
"Her heart's still beating, its very faint, almost gone, but its still there, she needs a shock, Jasper I need you to bite her." Carlisle looked at him over Angela's head as he busily bandaged her head wounds. Jasper faltered, Carlisle knew he was weak, he knew he couldn't do it; he knew how hard it was for Jasper to even kiss Angela without having to choke back the venom that her smell produced.
"She doesn't want to be a vampire, she's my angel, she wants to wait, and you know this Carlisle. I can't do that to her, she'd be devastated." He looked at his angel again and kissed her on the cheek, if he couldn't follow her to heaven, he'd get as close as he could.
"One bite isn't enough to turn her, you don't have to suck any blood, all you have to do is pierce the skin, it should send enough venom through to shock the heart but nothing more, its her only chance Jasper, you let the poison shock her heart and then I suck it out before it does any damage. Trust me." Jasper hesitated at Carlisle's words. He would do it if it meant saving Angela, but if she hated him afterwards he would do as she wished.
Jasper leant down to Angela's neck and bit her lightly, still hard enough to break the skin. She remained unresponsive for a minute then her eyes blazed back to life. She moved her hands to her heart and choked out the word fire. Jasper yelled her name and she looked at him without seeing, grabbing his hands and placing them on her heart. He felt it thump erratically and Carlisle leant down to suck out the poison, before he could try, Jacob began to thrash in Nessie's arms behind him.
"Jasper you have to do it, I need to see to Jacob, you're not weak, you're strong, your strength lies in your love for Angela, save her Jasper. You're the only one that can," Carlisles eyes burned and Jasper felt the courage swell inside of him as he felt the confidence flow off Carlisle. He leant down to Angela's hand and bit into her palm, sucking out the venom until all he could taste was the sweetness of her blood. Angela put her other hand to his face and he stopped. He bandaged her hand and looked into her face, she had left her other hand on his face and now she smiled.
"I knew my angel would come save me," she said, pulling his face towards hers weakly. Jasper complied and kissed her before swinging her into his arms protectively. He squared his shoulders and walked over to Nessie and Jacob, Carlisle wiped his hair out of his face and smiled.
"He's already started to heal, give it two more days and he'll be fine," he said to Nessie, fastening the bandages. "I'll have Emmett carry him, I'll take you, we'll be done in a few minutes," he told her, looking into Jasper's face and jerking his head at Emmett and the criminals. Emmett had done his very best work with them. A total of fifty-six bones were broken between them (two thanks to Jacob) and they were bound together by the rope Ange had had in her satchel. Emmett smiled a goofy grin at Jasper and briefly squeezed Ange's hand as he walked over to Nessie and picked up Jacob carefully, Carlisle nodded at him and Nessie jumped on his back and they all ran.
