Chapter 9: Tanya

How could Brian have possibly known what I am? Vampires are very secretive when it comes to their identity. And beside him knowing, why was he standing beside me? Shouldn't he be running for his life…gosh I was starting to sound like Edward.

It was his turn to be nervous. All the possible negative outcomes began to swirl around in my confused head. "I just want you to know this is something I've never talked about to another soul." He took a deep breath and looked me right in my eyes.

"About a year ago I headed out to Canada with some friends on a skiing trip we were at a bar having a good time when I ran into this woman. She was unbelievably beautiful and had some strange power over me. She seduced me into taking her back to my hotel room and she nearly bit me. After she left I started doing some research and realized who she was. After meeting you I put two and two together and figured your one as well."

I was silent. I had no idea what to say. "Alice please…say something. I only told you that because I wanted to be completely honest with you. The past week I've spent with you has been amazing and I'm eager to see where this relationship could take us. Please just say something." He pleaded. Wow he really cared for me.

I sighed. "I'm sorry Brian, I'm just shocked." I said still trying to digest the latest news I didn't see that coming. "Wait you said she was like me?" I asked. He nodded. "Same color eyes." "Yes why?" I felt a growl escape my chest.

"A strawberry blond with long curly hair." I asked hoping he'll say no.

"Yea that's her…do you know her."

"She used to be my family." I grumbled. "Let's go." I said grabbing his hand and leading him towards my car. I had a bone to pick with that slut.

Finally! I felt as if I was on top of the world. Bella the girl I've been loving from a distance was finally mine. I had to say she took me by surprise today, but then again she always did. It's funny how once I think I have her all figured out, she flips on me and show me a different side to her.

As I drove us back to the house Bella was quiet. She felt so at peace but yet chewing on her bottom lip. If only she knew what that did to me. "What's on your mind beautiful?" I asked anxious to hear her voice again.

She looked at me and smiled. "Nothing." She stated then turning her attention back to the window. "Bella I know when something's bothering you I can feel it. She sighed and turned to face me. I pulled over right before the turn that leads to the house.

"Alice told me that she sensed your feelings for me since we came back from Italy." Leave it to Bella to find something irrelevant to worry about.

"Actually it started after your birthday." Her eyes bulged. We might as well get it over with and talk about it now.

"After I attacked you I felt so horrible about it. It was to the point where I couldn't get you off my mind. Those months were so difficult for me. At first I thought it was the guilt haunting me. But when you came back from Italy and I saw you, it was as if I was seeing you for the first time. And the way you were willing to stand up to the Volturri… I began to fall for you. It wasn't until after Alice and I decided to call it quits that I admitted to myself that I loved you."

"I just can't believe you've waited so long for me." She replied stroking my cheek. It was like fire pressing against my face. A fire I never wanted to burn out.

"I would have waited an eternity if I had to."

"Jasper I… I can't even describe what I'm feeling right now."

"I love you too, Bella." I said leaning in to kiss her. I poured all the love I felt for her into the kiss just so she knew that she wasn't alone. It annoyed me when we had to stop so she could catch her breath and regulate her pounding heart. Was that even healthy? She chuckled as she placed her hand over her chest.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"I'm fine… this is what you do to me." She blushed looking straight ahead. "Isn't that Alice's car?" She said squinting her eyes. I watched to as the yellow Porsche made the turn down the drive. I followed her sensing rage project from her little form.

"Alice?" Bella asked worriedly as we jumped out the car. I glanced over at Brian who was nervous.

"What happened?" I asked hoping he didn't hurt Alice cause if he did….

"I'm taking a trip to the Denali's." She said looking murderously at nothing in particular. "Denali's why Alice?" Bella asked now looking confused. That made the two of us.

"Let's just say Bella you won't ever have to worry about Tanya again, cause once I'm through with her she won't be living."

"Did somebody say cat fight?" Emmett asked jumping out a two story window and flittering towards us Rose was just a step behind.

"Tanya seduced Brian and nearly turned him." Alice said shaking violently with anger. I sent her a wave of peace only to receive the death glare.

"Nice." Emmett said holding his hand up to give Brian a high five, but instead received a slap to the head from Rose.

"You'll never learn will you?" She scolded.

"Damnit Rose you can't be slapping me in front of company like that." He whined I heard a giggle escape Bella's lips causing me to laugh as well.

"Hi I'm Rose, Alice's sister. It's nice to meet you." She said smiling at him.

"Same here Rose, I just wish it were on other terms." Brian said shaking her hand.

"Do you play sports?" Emmett asked.

"Yea why?" Brian asked.

"How about a game of boxing on the Wii?" Rose smacked him again.

"Could you not think about that stupid game for a second?" Rose said before turning to Alice. "Alice honey I have a better idea. Let her come to us."

Alice didn't reply she was too busy watching her vision. A gasp escaped her lips and pure horror filled her tiny form. Once out of her trance she looked at us. "I think it's time for the two of you to take a road trip."

"Why would we-"Bella began to ask.

"Because Edwards on his way and he's not coming alone."

"What do you mean he's not alone?" I asked.

"Tanya's with him. She's been filling his head with nonsense to make sure the two of you won't stay together." Rose growled.

Bella seemed to be in her own world causing me to panic. I was so afraid of losing her. Was a week of showing her just how much I loved her enough to keep her for good? "Bella?" I asked skeptical.

"When will he be arriving?"

"Tonight…Bella he's not going to take it so well. You really should leave."

Bella shook her head. "I'm not leaving. It's just gonna add more fuel to the fire, and besides there's something's I need to say to him." As always there she was once again taking me by surprise.

"Are you sure you want to do this alone?" Alice asked.

"Alone?" I asked. She looked up at me with the saddest eyes. But it wasn't enough to make me cave.

"Bella you know how Edward is."

"The boy is nuts!" Emmett interjected.

"I can't allow you to do this alone." I said shaking my head. The two couples went inside giving us privacy. I couldn't believe it our first day together and we were fighting over my brother.

"So you're going to make all my decisions for me to?" She asked crossing her arms.

"Bella I'm not Edward and I'm not trying to boss you around. I made you a promise that I would never allow him to hurt you. How do you think I would feel if you ended up being hurt?" That wasn't the only reason why I didn't want her to go. I was afraid he might be able to talk her into taking him back.

She sighed. "Jasper I just need to talk to him. With you being there it would make him more upset. Please I just need some closure. You trust me don't you?" She asked looking deep in my eyes.

"Its him I don't trust." I said honestly. "But if he hurts you-"

"I give you permission to rip him apart." She said smiling. She stood on her toes and pressed her lips against mine while running her searing hands through my hair.

"I love you." She whispered against my lips. How could I deny this vixen anything? I just hope that Eddie could keep his hands off her or there'd be hell to pay.
