AN So time Jump just one week this is so I can effectively catch up with the rest of the family So lets see what Jasper and Bella have been up to in the last week just to address when Bella will be turned it will be soon but I have too time it right but I can tell you Victoria will not get to human Bella also there will not be any twist Bella and Jasper are mates the only reason I have added the bit about not being sure before she is turned is to explain why people thought Edward and Bella were Mates
Jasper POV
I had never thought that one week could feel like a lifetime not in a bad way but in the most amazing way. that first night Bella had asked that I lay with her while she slept she had told me to bring a book afraid I would be bored but I wasn't watching her sleep had my complete and utter attention and when she murmured my name I couldn't help the smile that spread across my lips and I felt that I had been smiling constantly since. It was easy being with Bella she was funny and confident and she wasn't wary of any of us knowing full well the damage we could do. Charlotte and Bella spent lots of time together painting most the time thankfully using brushes instead of their hands and I was pleasantly surprised when Charlotte showed me a piece Bella had been working on and found that it was very detailed. The week had mostly been relaxing with all of us going into town twice and the dvd collection had grown very quickly each of us adding our own tastes to it. It wasn't all fun through on the Friday we had sat down to discuss what we were going to do about Victoria Peter informed us that he had a vibe that she had finally left Forks which made Bella relax somewhat, Peter found it infuriating that he couldn't get a lock on the bitch his protective instincts for Bella had grown since the first day along with Charlotte's and a tiny part of me felt sorry for the bitch she was effectively killing herself by targetting Bella. The subject of changing Bella came up and I was surprised when Bella herself admitted she wasn't ready only to tell me that she was enjoying me to much and was scared that it would change when she was turned and I knew what she meant a deep part of myself was terrified she wasn't truly my mate and I would lose the feelings I had now with her.
"So what are we doing to day" Bella spoke rolling over to face me as I sat on top of the covers Bella had insisted I wasn't cold to her but I also insisted that just because she couldn't feel it doesn't mean she wouldn't get hypothermia from my cold temperature and I wouldn't want to prematurely change her.
"Hmm" I leaned down capturing her lips with mine she instantly responded pulling me closer, our physical relationship hadn't gone much further than kissing but we both used our hands to explore each others bodies and I was beginning to memorise every curve of her body. "We could stay here all day" I spoke softly before kissing her again when my tongue reached out she instantly responded our tongues meeting she tasted heavenly my hand slowly moved down her side resting on her hip as she tried to move closer me through the covers.
"Sounds like a plan" She sighed I let out a groan when I heard Peter approach
"What is it Captain?" I growled
"Char called she was hunting and she picked up the scent of unknown vampire" My jaw locked my body becoming a statue Bella immediately noticed that my posture changed and moved so she could look at me worry etched on her beautiful face I wanted to rid her of that worry "I'm going to go meet her and see if we can't find who it is"
"What is it?" Bella asked for her it had only been a few seconds
"Char caught the scent of an unknown vamp" I told her and the worry increased
"is she ok she isn't hurt is she?" I should have known that the worry wouldn't be about herself but about Char although I knew Char could take care of herself I was concerned with not knowing anything about a potential opponent.
"She's fine Darlin' Peter has gone to meet up with her and see if we can't track who it was down it may just have been a nomad passing through" I told her although by the look in her eyes she didn't believe me and if I was honest I didn't either.
"You should go with him" Bella stated and I had to chuckle darkly
"Oh yes and with your luck Bella they would arrive here while you're all alone and defenceless. When your a Vamp I won't worry to much but right now I couldn't bare the thought of you getting hurt which is no good if I was in a fight and distracted worrying about you" She threw herself at me her arms linking behind my neck her face hidden in my shoulder
"It's starting isn't it" She whispered and I sighed as I felt the fear that was coursing through her
"I think so Darlin' I think so" I held her to me calculating what our next moves would be I would wait to hear from Peter before I made any actual decisions.
Peter POV
I caught up with Charlotte quickly and caught the same scent she had called about,
"Anyone you recognise" She asked at vampire speed I shook my head and motioned that we were going to follow, I prayed that I was wrong that it was just another nomad passing through the are but I was rarely wrong and my senses were telling me that this Vampire was just the beginning Charlotte was faster than me and she took to the tree tops just ahead of me when she stopped I stopped she pointed down the trees broke into a small clearing the Vampire was looking around and I moved out of his line of sight and signalled Char to do the same we heard him pull something out if pocket and I heard the distinctive sound of a cell phone having a number put in. There was a ringing sound and then someone answered
"Robert" A female voice spoke on the other end "Have you found them?"
"Yes their scent is heavy in the woods but the humans scent is only on the road so they don't bring her out via the woods" He told the female who I knew was Victoria
"Good Robert now you understand what you need to do right" her voice was seductive
"I must bite the Human and start the change" He stated and I almost blew my cover then
"Yes then Samuel can do his work they'll never know what hit them" I heard her laugh "Goodbye Robert"
"Goodbye Victoria" We waited we couldn't let him know that we had heard the conversation so we moved to intercept him when he started moving to the house I sent a text to the Major just in case I was concerned through why would Victoria want to start the change she wanted Bella dead. We headed him off about a mile from the house he froze when he saw us and both me and Charlotte acted as if we were surprised
"Who are you?" Charlotte asked her voice suspicious but innocent we could tell from his eyes that this vampire was a newborn his eyes darted round looking for an escape.
"She asked you a question newborn" I growled and with that he bolted but Charlotte was already on him and I was only a second slower my knee already pressed into his back his left arm pulled back towards me "Now answer the question" I hissed
"My name is Robert" He hissed back growling as I tightened my grip on his arm I looked at Charlotte
"We are going to need the Major"
"I'll go get him and send him here" She stood giving me chance to adjust my weight I could handle one newborn Char was gone in a second and I returned my attention to the struggling vampire beneath me.
"Why are you here?" I asked "If your hones then when the Major gets here you might actually get a quick death if you don't then I can promise the change is going to seem like a walk in the park." his struggling increased at the mention of that "So I'll ask you again why are you here!?" He simply growled trying to snap at me. "Hard way it is" I pulled his arm back further he screamed under me as I heard the familiar sound of a limb starting to separate from its owner. The Major appeared from between the trees he took one look at the sight before him and his posture changed to one I hadn't seen in decades only this time he was a lot more threatening.
"Let him up Captain" He ordered I nodded getting off the newborn not being careful as I did pulling his arm back further back. In an instant he was up in a crouch snarling at us the Major raised an eyebrow at him and suddenly the newborn was on the ground whimpering I shuddered at the memory, Jasper had the ability to induce any emotion or sensation and that included pain in a manner his gift was the same as one of the Voltori guards only his was more potent he could cause an entire group to feel the pain where as the guard member had to be looking at the person they wanted to hurt and they could only cause pain nothing else. Not many people knew the extent of his gift not even Maria.
"Why are you here?" He asked his voice full of authority the Vampire screamed as the pain increased he seemed to hit the ground and the pain was eased "Why are you here?" He asked again "And I want honesty or the Captain is going to finish removing that arm" He warned "and believe me I will know if your lying to me"
"I was sent here to turn a human girl" he hissed
"why?!" even I felt the wave of fear that the Major sent out but I kept my face neutral
"Victoria has another with the gift to effect the turning process all I have to do is start it and the human is dead" for less than a millisecond I registered shock on the Majors face until it became neutral again he looked at me and I knew what he was asking I hated doing this shit it made me feel odd but we needed to know if it was truth the newborn believed it but we couldn't be sure if she had lied to him.
Jasper POV
I felt Peter's emotions become unfocused I knew he hated using his gift in this way actually trying to search for answers gave him an uneasy feeling and it was when he did this that he was more likely to be wrong we waited I kept the newborn frozen in place with fear I hated using my gift this was I had done it enough during my time in the south. A growl escaped Peters lips and the nod he gave me told me all I needed to know.
"Who is this vampire with the gift" My mind going a mile a minute we couldn't turn Bella while there was vampire out there that could easily kill her while she was in the change. "I want to know everything you know" I sent him a wave of pain he yelled out at me swearing.
"Victoria turned him just after me she discovered he was gifted when he stopped the turning of another without even touching him as long as he has their scent he knows when they are turning and can end it." He hissed out
"Alright last question answer honestly and I will give you a quick death" I told him I felt the fear then at his impending end "Where are they and how many are there?"
"I don't know we were leaving Seattle when I was sent here she didn't tell me where they were going she had four with her when we left she knew that I wouldn't be able to get close but she hoped that if I got close enough you would turn her yourself" I couldn't sense any dishonesty coming fro him and with that both me and Peter descended on him ending his life in seconds I took his phone I would be redialling the last number pretending I hadn't just interrogated it owner but I would have to wait a few minutes to make it look like we had just killed him and were searching for information we couldn't let her know we knew about her gifted newborn.
"What now Major?" Peter asked "if we can't turn her..." He didn't finish the sentence but I knew what he was saying the back up plan was to turn Bella if Victoria came at us with any kind of force but if we couldn't turn her the situation became a whole lot more complicated. "you head back to the house I have something I need to do and you can't be here for some reason" Peter told me "and you need to call that bitch back and act like her pet just nearly killed Bella" I nodded taking off back to the house without a second glance.
Peter POV
I took in some deep breaths not that I needed them but I was trying to calm down I took out my phone my senses telling me I needed to make this call it didn't even finish the first ring before it was answered
"Peter thank god" Alice voice sounded stressed and I wondered what she had seen "I know you already know about the gifted newborn and I know you guys are going to be able to handle it but I need you to get Bella to call her father if she doesn't in a little over two weeks he will start looking for her and it will only lead to his death." She rattled off before I could say a word
"Ok Alice I'll do that but I need to know something" I made the decision then to turn Bella and heard Alice gasp
"no no no... Peter if you turn her she will die the newborn will end her change" I sighed at the conformation. For the next few minutes I made decisions and Alice would tell me if it would work it was surprising how well we could work together and a Plan started to form.
"So for some reason we have to act normal still take Bella out into town to the mall show her the area," I clarified and Alice agreed "and are you sure none of you can join us it sound like the bitch is putting together a newborn army"
"I am sure Peter at the moment she has five she doesn't intend to make more but if we were to join you she would make more" She sighed again and I could hear her rubbing her temple "We are walking such a tight rope one miss step and we lose"
"Ok then is there anything else I need to know, or that I can inform Jasper about"
"Just tell him and Bella they are missed and we'll see them again soon and Peter look after Bella please if she dies we lose Jasper too"
"Definitely mates then" I confirmed and she hummed a yes "Will we be able to speak again at all?" I asked bringing the talk to an end.
"It's not safe for at least five days and it will have to be Charlotte who calls and for some reason you guys need to get some burner phones to use I'm not sure why yet but I see them being useful" We ended the phone call with the agreement I would get Bella to call her father and that Alice would send me a text should anything drastic change in our futures Alice was right I could feel it we were on a very tight rope.
AN I hope you all enjoyed this chapter I intend to have Bella turned in the next few chapters but this gives me a chance to lengthen the time she remains human well hope to update again soon see you all soon.
