Hey all, here's anther Chapter with Edward!! yay! haha Enjoy! :)


Alice's POV

I snarled once again a little louder when Edward put his nose near Bella's neck again, dead or not that was still the most vulnerable point of a vampire. Edward softly chuckled in delight at her scent. When I looked at him he seemed somewhat defeated. His hair was a mess, more than usual that is, from him running his hands through it, and his eyes weren't the shining gold I was used to, that meant he hadn't hunted for a while. I slowly picked myself up from the floor and started walking cautiously over towards my bed where Jasper was laying there at the mercy of Edward. I refused to allow fear to keep me from doing what I had to do. Making sure Edward wasn't going to move or attack I sat at the base of the bed while pulling Jasper as far away from Edward as I could. Edward looked up at me and smiled softly while he hugged Bella a little closer. I couldn't take the silence anymore so I decided to get right to the point.

"What are you doing here Edward?"

He ignored my question and stared smiling at Bella's sleeping figure. "I miss watching her sleep. It always brought me so much peace." He sighed and kissed her on the forehead. "who changed her?"

I didn't reply, but I couldn't help but reply her transformation through my mind. How she was so silent during the first day. Carlisle told me it was because she had been through so much emotional pain, that the physical pain was less, then her finally able to feel the pain begging me to kill her. Both Edward and I shuddered at the memory. I looked towards him when he started moving, giving a small warning growl, Edward just smiled at me again before gently laying Bella down and standing up.

Edward's POV

I had started to put Bella back on the bed when I heard a warning growl from Alice. I was so appreciative over how protective she was of Bella. Smiling gently I softly placed Bella's sleeping figure on the bed and stood up. I didn't know what to say to her, how to start! But I knew I needed help. The only type of help my best friend could give. I started pacing across the room in a quick stride as I began religiously running my fingers through my hair. After a couple lengths of the room I noticed my reflection in the mirror. Immediately stopping I slowly walked over to it.

"I'm a mess." It was true, my hair was all ripped up from my fingers, and my clothes hadn't been changed since I lost Bella those three weeks ago. Then there were my eyes, soulless black eyes staring back coldly, "It's only appropriate for a monster to look the part though." I spat while whipping around to look over at Alice.

She started mumbling apologies for calling him a monster but I silenced me with the wave of my hand.

"It's the least I deserve."

My voice lost its venom as I remembered why I was here, strange things have been happening and I needed her help.

"Alice." Her face turned towards me as she noted my serious voice. "I'm afraid."

I looked her in the eye as she slowly got off the bed and moved towards me. Placing her hand on my cheek she slowly whispered. "Tell me."

I couldn't take the soft look in her black eyes so I looked away and started pacing the room again. It didn't do much good other than to slowly help me control the pain from the memories.

"It's so fuzzy. Like I don't exactly know what I'm doing, yet I am always left with the after effect. One moment I was trapped within this horrid haze with hardly any control over my own body! And then the next moment he was looking at a beaten Bella with a bunch of mysterious cuts and bruises all over. I don't know what happened but I knew that it was somehow my fault, so I would constantly beg for her forgiveness. And she always forgave me." I stopped pacing again and looked back over towards Alice. "And then at the mall. I don't know what happened at all. One moment I was in this haze and then the next moment I could "see" again and I couldn't find Bella, she was missing. So I searched for her, for several weeks until I finally found her, here, sleeping; as a vampire."

I could see so many questions running through Alice's eyes but her mind was blank to me. Finally one question seeped through. How did you know she was here?

"I had heard a fight going on inside. With you screaming that you can't live without Jasper… and Bella." I whispered looking away from her pained face, reliving the shock I felt when I had heard that. One moment I was perching outside their house, wanting to ask for help, but unable. When suddenly I heard Alice's pained cry.

I looked over towards Alice again, studying her with my vampire vision. She looked almost worse than I did. Barely able to stand, I could see how her entire body was almost insane with hunger, yet she refused to hunt. I started questioning whether it was a bad idea to come back, but I decided it was too late to back out.

"Alice. I need your help." I whispered softly. "I don't know what is going on with me but I have felt like I have been trapped within my own body, I and I have no control over anything I do. I just don't know what to do Alice… Bella keeps getting hurt and I don't know how and…" I stopped talking. Alice had backed up a couple steps and when she looked up again I could see such intense anger that I began backing up. The almost crazy look in her eye was burning with her intense fury.

Pain shot through my mind as the memories started flying at me. They weren't my memories, but Alice's. I fell to my knees as I saw the familiar mall go into my view. Randy River, Alcohol, me dragging Bella around, choking her, throwing her across the room, almost killing Alice, fighting my family, the dead look on Bella's face when she told me I promised never to leave again, Alice beating on herself on the forest floor... My dead heart shattered as the vision cut off. I bowed my head to the floor and started sobbing harder than I ever had.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry!" I wailed as the images continued to swirl around my head. What had I done?

I could feel two tiny arms wrap around me as Alice started to cradle and rock me on the floor as I broke down.

Jasper's POV

Why couldn't I hear her anymore? I was so close to breaking through the fog, to waking up!! After Edward appeared in the room, I stopped concentrating on listening and started forcing myself to swim harder than I ever have in my life. The pool of fog was lightening as I started to slowly feel the tingling of my body. I had to protect Alice and Bella. Another layer of fog was overcome as I could now begin to sense the emotions swirling around the room; anger, hatred, worry, sadness, the worst of them all though, was physical pain.

Roaring at the thought of my Alice in pain I lunged out of the bed, the fog finally broken, and looked around the room with murderous eyes. Alice was holding a surprised Edward in her arms, no doubt surprised by the amount of hatred going through my mind. I rushed over to her and ripped Edward out of her arms and threw him across the room. The dull THUD sounded throughout the room as I tightly hugged Alice.

"Jazzy?" She looked like she didn't believe I was standing in front of her. Then again it had been a very long month, laying there without being able to move. "You're up!!"

A thunderous wave of joy and love washed over me, and I couldn't help but smile at my bubbling wife. For one moment I had forgotten that Edward, Bella, or the rest of the world ever existed.

Suddenly I could see Edward slowly standing up while brushing off his clothes. He held his hands up in surrender when I growled fiercely and pulled Alice behind me. Slowly I started moving us towards Bella so that I could protect her as well. Should it become a fight, I had to rely on Alice to protect Bella. I couldn't ask her to help me fight Edward; already she looked like she was going to drop from exhaustion if that were possible.

Edward stood up straight when he saw the direction my thoughts were going, battle plan and ideas of how I could hold him down, and then the possibility of beating him.

"This was a mistake." Edward mumbled. "I'm sorry jasper. I didn't mean anything I'm sor…"

"What do you mean you didn't mean anything?" I snarled. Edward flinched but I continued steadily building up the venom in my voice. "Maybe you should've thought about that before you almost killed Bella! Before you almost killed me!"

Thoughts of the meeting started filling my head as Bella's pain once again made itself known. The power behind the intense feeling was becoming too much, but I knew that it wasn't near the amount she had felt before. Edward's breathing grew hoarse as my memories progressed. Why should I be feeling this alone? He deserves this pain, not me.

His eyes grew big when I released all of Bella's pain on him; he had fallen onto his knees and was groaning under the strain.

"Jasper… please… stop!" Edward begged.

"Maybe you should run back to Victoria." I snarled.

Edward grit his teeth and looked up to me, and then Alice. The confused look on his face had me almost convinced that he never knew anything about Victoria, but I knew better. Suddenly his head snapped towards the window as if someone called him. I looked over as well and saw the small tinge of red, just outside the forest.

I was about to push him down again when Alice gripped my shoulders and forced her lips to my ear. In a rushed tone she quickly explained everything that happened while I was asleep up to the point when he got here. My eyes widened in shock when I realized what I had done, but as I turned to apologize to my brother, he was running towards the window.

"NO!" Alice cried while lunging towards him, but her legs gave out and she crashed to the floor, unable to gather the strength to get up again. Through her cries I heard Edward's clear voice

"It's less than what I deserve. I'm a monster."

Alice cried his name over and over as we watched him leap through the now smashed window, and disappear into the forest.

What had I done?

How was that for everyone?? Plot line's thinkening a little. Don't forget to review
