Kouga's older woman: No Jasper doesnt like Alice they are just very close. As you know from the SM story they joined the Cullen's together. They are more like brother and sister, only Bella doesnt know that just yet. She's a little jealous hearing Jasper call Alice "doll".
Chapter 8: Ok, A Little Scared Now
BPOV
Vision blurred by tears, we arrived at the house. Alice ushered me to the door where i was greeted by Dr Carlisle Cullen. "Welcome Bella its so nice to see you. This is my wife Esme, and i assume you already know all of my children." he smiled pushing forward a shy yet beautiful woman. It wasnt blinding beauty like Rosalie's, this was a natural beauty. She had mid length honey brown hair, a small pink smile and the signature Cullen golden eyes. "Welcome Bella, why are have you been crying?" she asked tenderly. "I know what you are, it took me a while to guess but it feels like i've been lied to." i whispered. She pulled me into a quick hug then sat me down in the lounge. Alice took her seat next to Jasper. Jealousy again consumed me as Jasper looked at me confused. Rosalie sat on Emmetts lap whilst Edward took his place next to me.
"As you are aware Bella, we are vampires. We dont feed on humans, we live on animals which gives us our interesting eye colour. We didnt tell you because its dangerous for you to know. The Volturi, our royal family or so you could say. They dont appreciate our secret being known. If they find out that you know, you could be killed. That or changed into one of us." Carlisle gloomly explained. I gasped, unsure how to react. My heart beat quickend and i felt myself being pulled into Edwards side. Growls were surrounding me but i couldnt move, couldnt grasp what was happening. I could die. I tried to stand up but i was being pulled in either direction. I gave up, i... i fainted.

She had been crying, that was obvious. I didnt even need my gift to know that. I sat down next to Alice and was smacked with a wave of jealousy emitting from Bella. It was the second time that had happened. Why was she so jealous of me sitting next to Alice? Alice looked at me and gave me a 'i'll tell you later' look. I was monitoring her emotions as Carlisle told her about us, about the Volturi. She panicked, her heart beat increased. I saw Edward smugly pull her into his side, i lost it. Growls lept forth from the family. HOW DARE HE TOUCH MY MATE!. "Get your hands off her!" I shouted. "No" he replied. I tried to pull Bella to me but Edward kept a hard grip on her. It was like playing a tug of war, how pathetic. We both let go of her and she collapsed to the ground. The whole room turned silent. "Jasper, go hunt." Carlisle ordered. We had both endangered her life with our battle for her. I ran off to the forest and drained 5 elk, wishing it was Edwards throat i was ripping.

What were they thinking ? Bella isnt a toy. I rushed Bella to my room and Carlisle swiftly followed. "Whats .. happened?" i asked. "She's just fainted, let her rest but check on her every 2 hours she might have concussion, she didnt hit the floor pretty hard." Carlisle ordered. I nodded and glared at Edward. "Your not staying here, your not watching her" i warned. He growled then walked out. If only they knew, Jas is her mate. Poor Bella, i just hope you choose the right one. Id hate for you to ... your my best friend and i love you. Just then a vision creeped into my mind. It showed me where Jas was, i know he wants to talk. Before rushing off i assign Rosalie to check and guard her.
"Alice?" Jasper called out. "Im here." I moved out of the trees and into the field. "Whats going to happen?" he asked sincerely, his face hard and showing no emotion. "She will have to choose, You or Edward." I whispered. "What happens if she chooses Edward?" he asked nervously. "She could die, she could not. It depends on the frame of Edward's mind." "And what if she chooses me?" he asked sheepishly. "Jas surely i dont need to tell you what happens." i winked. "Why was she so jealous?" he asked. "Well we are really close and she thinks you like me, she expected you to sit next to her but instead you sat next to me, she got jealous." i shrugged. "But she knows i like her right? you did tell her?" "I told her yes, but that doesnt mean she believes me. She knows Edward likes her, hell she knows he was in her room." i sighed. Jasper just nodded before we both ran back to the house.

Ouch, what happened? Blinking my eyes till they focused, realisation hit me. Crap in a house with vampires... nice work Bella. I sighed and sat up. Soaking in my surroundings they looked vaguely familliar. You have to be kidding me !... its the room from the dream. Ok, a little scared now. Rosalie was by my side in an instant. "Bella are you ok?" she said checking me over like a mother would a child. "I'm fine, just a little scared i guess." i sighed. Rosalie assumed her indifferent expression and walked out of the room. Getting of the huge bed, i look out of the window. Edward was in the garden sat on the bench with his head in his hands. He must feel bad. I walked out of the room and made my way downstairs. Esme looked at me lovingly. "I'll be back in a moment, i guess i have a choice to make." Carlisle nodded and i entered the garden. I walked slowly accross the emerald green grass. Surely Edward could hear me approaching. "Edward?" i whispered. His head remained in his hands. I gently sat down beside him and turned to face the broken man before me. "It wasnt your fault, look i'm fine see." I tried to tug his arm away from his face. He looked at me, his eyes drowning in sadness. "I shouldntve ... i ..." he hesitated. "I know." I was slightly disappointed he couldnt say sorry, but was it really his fault?
I hugged him, he shouldnt feel bad. It was my stupid fault for fainting. Wrong move Bella. Growls once again filled my ears. Edward had placed me behind him and crouched defensively. I peered round to see who had caused this. Jasper, who was also crouched down, ready to attack. I ran from behind Edward and put myself between them both. "Stop it both of you! What is you problem, you both go all growly as soon as some sort of attention is shown to either of you. Its stupid, just please... no fighting." i shouted. Jasper was the first to rise out of his crouch, Edward slowly followed. I sighed and walked inside not bothering to hear excuses. I sat down in the lounge, Alice on one side and Rosalie on the other. "Bella..." Carlisle started. "Yes i have to choose, die or be one of you." I replied.
