Chapter 10, enjoy! I know it's a little uneventful right now but it'll change pretty soon, spoilers' spoilers'. Anyway, read and review!

JASPERS POV

The feature about the situation in Seattle we'd all been waiting for started and I could feel Alice tense a little in my lap. She shifted her head to the side a bit so I could see the screen too. It really didn't matter what the reporter looked like so I usually didn't care to do anything more than listen but this time they were on location and everybody was observing every inch of the background the reporter was standing in front of closely.

"It's a lot bigger mess than a human could make, soon they will notice too" Carlisle said "it's a wonder the Volturi haven't stepped in yet"

"Why bother? It just leaves more fun for us!" Emmett said. Sometimes I wished that I could be as trouble-free as he was, of course I knew he cared about Rosalie's wellbeing and the rest of us too, but for him this battle was exciting and fun, there was no doubt in his mind that we wouldn't win this.

I tried not to doubt it either because I knew though Alice wasn't an empath she could sense when I worried, as could I, of course, when she was which was all the time recently. I knew she worried about me and it made me feel bad, it was all better now, she shouldn't feel like that anymore. Though I would lie if I said what had happened didn't confuse me and Carlisle still shot me glances every now and then looking out for me. It was all gone, no headaches, no pain in the bite, though I had this feeling that I was being watched that had bothered me at first but then I realized that it must be Bella's since she knew Victoria was watching her every move.

"Jasper?" her beautiful voice took me back to reality "Jazzy, jazzy, jazz?" she sang in a little happy melody.

"Yes love?" I asked, stroking her hair and down her neck

"What were you thinking about?" she asked, turning her head piercing her golden eyes through mine.

"Well, I was actually feeling" I said, then turning to Bella who sat beside Edward on the stairs behind us "Bella, can I ask you something?" she looked surprised by my question and I couldn't blame her, we didn't talk much. Though I was a lot more used to her scent now I didn't want to risk anything.

"Yes, of course" she answered, looking quickly at Edward before meeting my glance.

"Do you feel this strange feeling about being watched?" I asked and she nodded immediately,

"Yes, is.. is that you?" she asked and I shook my head,

"Why would I do that?" I asked her, giving her a half smile since she seemed uncomfortable with the question.

"I don't know" she said "I guess I just tried to make myself believe that because I didn't wanna realize it was.. her"

"Why haven't you told me this?" Edward said, looking upset, gaze pending between me and Bella as if he was equally upset with both of us though I understood that he just was upset with me.

"I've only felt it for a little while" I said "and it's not my feeling to share since it well.. isn't mine" He rolled his eyes at me but left it with that, laying his arms around Bella and taking her upstairs.

Everyone took Edward and Bella leaving as the cue to that the battle-talk was over. Emmett took Rosalie's hand and led her out for a hunt, Carlisle went upstairs to his study having to do some paperwork and Esme disappeared to the kitchen. Though we didn't eat I knew it was her favorite place in the house, cleaning and fixing made her feel a little more human and like a mother. That left me and Alice in the living room and I pursed my lips against her neck kissing it softly, she turned around and our lips met.

"Jazzy, I know that you don't wanna talk about it" she started, staring at me and letting me drown in her beautiful eyes "but I can't not do it"
I sighed as I knew she was referring to Maria and everything, I really did just want to leave if behind me as long as it didn't come back. I stroke back a strand of her hair behind her ear before giving her cheek a soft peck.

"It's okey darlin', I'm fine" I said and before she could something else I added "and I promise you that if I wasn't I would tell you" she looked at me for a little while, as if she was deciding whether she was going to believe me or not and then she leaned into my embrace.

"And if, god forbid, it would happen again, would you tell me?" she asked "Jasper, promise me" it was a demand, not a question and I nodded,

"I promise love"
