Chapter 9

Jasper's POV

When Peter answered the door and Carlisle came in, I knew something was wrong. For one thing he was by himself and second he smelt of Edward.

"What is going on Carlisle, and why do I smell Edward on you?" Growls were all around the room even Bella, who was now Holding Rose's hand was growling.

Carlisle's POV

I told them everything from the start:

Edward came home and before he even got to the door I went off on him. I met him in the yard. "What do you want? You have no business here."

Esme jumped in then. "Yes he does. He is our son Carlisle and you need to hear his side of the story." I could not believe what was coming out of her mouth.

"No son of mine would ever rape a girl and then kill her. He was not raised like that and we all possess the ability to tell ourselves no. Whether we choose to listen or not, that's when we have to face the consequences for what we have done."

"Carlisle you and I both have killed a human before. How is this any different?"

"We made a treaty with the pack that it would not happen here. I know that we all screw up from time to time Esme but doesn't the fact that he fucking raped her matter at all to you! That he raped my daughter! She was a virgin, timid and untouched and he ripped her clothes off, threw her over a fucking rock and fucked her with vampire force! Tearing everything in her apart! Does it not fucking hurt your first time with a human? ( she looked down for just a second she knows I'm right) Then imaging with all that force and power from some one you love, telling you that he never loved you that you were a willing dinner !" I was yelling at them both, this is the first time that I have ever raised my voice to Esme.

"It didn't happen like that. She was scared but she lies! She wanted it as bad as I did. I just lost control. I'll talk to her and explain. She didn't understand what was going on. It wasn't like that…" I cut him off with his lies.

"I do not want to hear anymore from either of you.."

"But Carlisle, if you would just let him exp.." she started again yelling in my face.

"I said that I didn't want to hear anymore! You both disappoint me and you of all people, I never would have thought, could act this way towards our Bella."

"She is nothing to me if she makes my son out to be a liar." Esme said.

I looked at Edward and said "I will let the pack have their way with you, if Jasper doesn't kill you first."

"But what about me Carlisle, you are my creator, my mate, you can't turn your back on me." Esme cried.

I told her "I didn't, and you just remember that.." and I left to come here.

Jasper's POV

While Carlisle was telling us what was going on, Bella lost it. She was sobbing uncontrollably, so I went, gathered her into my arms and sat down on the floor with her. I kept her away from everyone else as I rocked her and whispered to that I had her and always would.

When he was done, her emotions were very strong. "Jasper, can I go outside for a walk please… by myself? I need to be alone." she spoke in a quite voice while looking at the floor.

"Baby, I can't let you go alone. He could be out there waiting for the perfect opportunity and we don't have guards posted yet." I tilted her chin toward me so she would have to look me in my eyes. I needed her to understand.

"I can go with her, if it's ok with her, that is. I know that she wants to be alone, so I'll phase and be ready in case of trouble, while just staying close to her to watch… I mean, if it's cool with you too?" He is attracted to Bella, but I know Jake respects me and knows not to cross the line.

"I think it would be ok. She has been through a lot with this entire situation and needs some alone time. ( I looked directly into her eyes as I spoke softly while tracing her cheek with my finger) It might even make you feel better to talk to him, if you want to." I said giving her my permission.

I can feel that she is very upset. I wish that she would talk to me, but I've learned from the past that sometimes being alone helps you to sort things out better. On top of everything else, she is still getting used to this new life, making her thoughts get overwhelming at times.

I waited until she was far enough away that she couldn't hear me and then went into full major mode.

"All right gentleman, I want everyone in Peter's office, now! The sooner we get started on this the better and I don't want anything to happen to her."

I led them all into his office, showing them a map of the land around Peter's property and started laying out the orders to them.

Bella's POV

I got up and walked outside, my emotions and thoughts were all over the place. I walked out to the bench that overlooks the small pond behind Peter's house and sat down.

I heard a rustling in the distance and knew it was Jake, I can smell his woodsy scent. He must be in wolf form now, in case of trouble and he is doing like he said he would, staying close enough to be there if I need him but far enough away to give me my space.

Then I finally let it all out. I can't believe what I have done to this family.

If I would have stayed away from Em and never went to meet his family, this would not be happening. I would never have been introduced to Edward, so he would never have done the things he did to me.

Esme would still be with Carlisle and Alice… no, I did not want to even think about that. She can not have Jasper back he is mine and I would kill her first.

"This will all work out Bells." It was Jake and I can hear him in my thoughts. Wow! I never expected this.

I tried to speak through my thoughts to see if he could hear me too.

"Jake, what the hell? Can you hear me?"

"Yea, it's cool huh. It might have something to do with the bond that we shared when you were changing and I gave you my blood."

"It hurts to think that I have caused all this trouble to this family Jake. I love them to much to hurt them. I don't want a family to separate because of me." he came closer and I rubbed his large wolfie head.

"They are not separating because of you. Carlisle is mad at Esme because she is siding with a man that raped his daughter. Alice is pissed because the love between her and Jasper died a long time ago and she doesn't want to accept it. Her behavior with Edward is the same as Esme's. If you had a daughter that this had happened to her, how would you feel about the three of them."

"Your right I guess but…" Just then Jake and I both caught a scent a familiar scent. It was Alice!

I noticed my hand was shaking and was blue again with my power.

"Sorry Jake, but I don't want you to get hurt." I told him before I used my shield pushing backwards into the house, I know he would heal fast if it he got hurt by the impact.

But if a vampire gets got a hold of him, their venom is poison and enough of it could kill him. Then that would be my fault too. If she's here, she is trying to get Jasper back and that is NOT going to happen….

Whatcha think? I bet Jasper is going to be pissed, will she need another spanking?
