Whoa! So, it's been like forever since I undated! (Actually only 5 days, but it feels like forever!!) Anywho, you guys prolly don't want to listen to me rant so here's the QotC:
"Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time: effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end."
And now... on to the chapter!!
Disclamier: I don't own Twilight.

I watched with amazement as Bella suddenly dashed from the room. I listened to everyone's thoughts, trying to understand where she had gone, but the only minds I could hear were those of my family. Each and every one was saying the same things, "Where did Bella go?" and "How does she have such amazing powers?"
Alice seemed to be having some problems; every 5 seconds or so she would get that spaced out look for a second then come back, and start all over. I watched her curiously for a bit, before deciding Bella was more important at the moment. I turned towards the door and began to run. As I was sprinting though the massive hall, I noticed multiple things. One: For a castle, the roofs were very low, and Bella had 'floated' higher then the ceiling during her 'episode'. Two: Many different coloured tapestries hung along the walls, each depicting something of great importance. And three: Jacks was suddenly standing in front of me; an angry look on his face.
I began to slow down instantly, but I was travelling at such a high speed that we collided. I actually felt the pain, which was not normal. But, lately alot of things that normally didn't happen to me, had been occurring, like Bella turning into a fairy, or my family and I suddenly being trapped on the ceiling of my room, not able to talk or move. Or, crashing into a person who seemed exactly like a vampire while running at a speed faster then 150 km per hour.
Everything went black for about 4 seconds, before I came back into focus.
I was now lying on the floor, and the stones beneath me had cracked and disintegrated. Shaking my head, I looked up and saw Jacks smirking at me. I glared at him before quickly jumping to my feet. I began to dust myself off, and saw the rest of my family looking at me oddly.
"Well, ummm, Jacks. If you wouldn't mind, I would greatly appreciate it if you would kindly step out of my way." I said sourly, taking a step to the right, only to find Jacks mirror my movement. I stared at him hard, but began to lose myself in his eyes. It was an odd sensation, and I decided that it was what Bella called dazzling.
I took another step, this time to the left, but Jacks was still in my way.
"Move you idiot!" I yelled, giving him a slight shove.
"I'm sorry Edward, but Bella needs a minute to herself," Jacks replied indifferently in a smug, annoying tone of voice.
"You don't know what she needs!" I screamed losing my patience. I was vaguely aware of my hands balling up into fists. Soon, I was shaking in frustration, which only grew worse because Jacks began to smile again.
"What are you laughing about!"
"I'm not laughing, I'm just finding myself very amused by your anger," he stated, smiling even more.
I snapped. My right hand shot out and smoked Jacks squarely between the eyes with so much force that he was sent spiraling backwards into the great doors at the end of the hall. I loud crash echoed throughout the room, followed by a groan. Dust was swirling through the air, blurring my all too perfect vision. Quickly, I strolled towards the place where Jacks had connected with the wood.
"Jacks," I called sweetly, stepping into the gloom. I walked right to the place where he had hit, but only found a large indent in the doors.
"Where'd you disappear to Jacks?" I asked, looking around. I was confused, a hit that hard should have at least knocked him out. The dirt was settling and he was no where in sight.
"Jacks?" I asked again, getting worried. "Where did you -"
Edward look out!!
That was Alice's panic voice. I whipped around towards the others only to find myself blown backwards into the very same doors Jacks had hit. The connection blanked my mind for a second, and I was suddenly sitting on the floor.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's not very nice to hit people, Edward," Jacks sneered my name. I tried to stand up so I could hit back, but the moment I was on my feet I was pinned to the wall. "You should know better," he started to laugh, and pulled his arm back, ready to strike. I turned my head and closed my eyes waiting for the hit. It did come, just not from where I thought.
Both me and Jacks were suddenly plowed over and I was knocked away. I looked up to see Jasper standing over me staring in the direction Jacks had flown. I glanced over, and did a double take. Alice was punching, kicked, and slapping every bit of Jacks that she could. And, even more surprising, was the fact that she was winning. I guess Jacks has a problem with hitting girls.
I strolled over quickly, and pulled Alice off of him.
LET ME GO EDWARD! He deserves it!
"Now, now, Alice. Even if he does, doesn't mean you get to pull out a can of 'Alice Kung-Fu' on the poor guy. I was doing just fine by myself you know."
"Sure you were. Which was the reason why you were just about to be knocked out cold," she replied venomously.
"I had a plan. I was just waiting for the opportune moment. You know, like Jack Sparrow in that one movie. Which one was-" I was suddenly cut off by a hard blow to the back of my head.

I was listening to Edward rant about some pirate, when Jacks punched him in the back of the head. For some reason I found myself giggling.
"Told you so," I said smugly, sticking my tongue out childishly at Edward. He had a dazed look on his face, but gave me a sharp look in response to my snide comment. He turned around and jumped onto Jacks, and soon enough the two of them were in a full blown fist fight, with extra power. I was amused as Edward flew across the room, only seconds later to find him delivering his own 'superman' punch.
This was exactly what I had seen just minutes ago. I watched incredulously as Edward slowly, but surely, began to lose. I jumped in at exactly the same moment as Jasper did, soon to be joined by Emmett. It was four against one, and the others didn't like that. Soon enough we were each fighting our own battles. Esme and Kat, Rose and Maddie, Jo and I, and then the boys. Oddly enough, the guys battle was even, Jacks was alot stronger, quick witted, and sly then he gave off.
We were all so distracted by our little fights that none of heard the doors open or the gasp.
"What are you all doing!?" Bella shrieked, and instantly, we were all frozen.
