Big thanks to my reviewers Lily Swan, Jess-Tyson, XxPhilxX, ProcrastinatingPyro09, Chel88 and DisastrousOl'Me. Lily, Jasper is back! I have also just realised that in my plan for this, I don't have another Alec POV planned, as it didn't really fit in. However, I thought it would be a bit weird if I had a lot of Alec POV at the beginning of the story than none in the rest of it. So please let me know your thoughts. I would appreciate the help. Now, on with the story and please review.

Jasper's POV

It had only been a couple of days since Natalie had left me. Time is supposed to heal all wounds and as a vampire all I had was time. Yet I knew that all of eternity, would never cure me of this pain. I still couldn't understand how she could have left me. Sometimes I was angry at her, but most of time, I just felt hurt and guilty. I felt as though I had chased her away. Everyone was avoding me, or it was more like I was avoiding them. If I couldn't have Natalie, I didn't want to talk to anyone. Only Edward and Carlisle had dared approach me, but neither of them had gotten very far. I was sat at the piano. I could remember many times that Natalie had been sat here. Strands of her hair, would fall forward as she leaned down to watch the keys. At times she would glance at me and smile gently, before returning her attention to the piano. The memories were so clear. They haunted me. I could hear Edward approach me and place his hand on my shoulder. I didn't bother to look up and I fought the urge to shrug him off, knowing that it would be cruel.

"Jasper. You cannot keep treating yourself like..." Edward began to say, but he soon trailed off. I focused back into my surroundings, wondering why he had trailed off. I soon realised why, when I heard someone moving towards the house. They were moving too fast to be human.

"Natalie!" I called out, the hope rising in me. She had come back. I pushed back from the piano stool so quickly, that it flew backwards and would've hit Edward, if it wasn't for his vampire reflexes. I rushed towards the backdoor and flew out of it. I could hear the rest of the family (except Bella and Nessie, who were at their house) follow me. I stumbled to a stop when I saw her. I couldn't care less who she was. All I knew, was that she wasn't Natalie. Of course Natalie wouldn't be back, she had left me. For good. The rest of my family took up defensive positions. I knew I should too, but I didn't really care. I was shoved back by Emmett, once he realised I wasn't doing anything to protect myself. I studied the girl. She was scared, bewildered, frustrated and she felt guilty. She had long straight blonde hair and had a figure similiar to Alice's. The thing that struck me most was that she was young, her eyes were red. I could tell that she was a new vampire. She studied us for a second. It seemed as though her vampire instincts were battling with her human feelings. We studied each other for a while, neither of us willing to break the silence.

"Are you the Cullens?" she asked, her voice was defensive. I heard Edward gasp.

"Oh my God" he muttered. The rest of us turned to look at him. He looked at me, a pained expression in his eyes. We turned once again to look at the girl, as we heard her move. The girl's hand was in her pocket and she pulled something out of it. She unfurled her hand to reveal Natalie's necklace. I ran to the girl's side. She recoiled her hand at my sudden approach and snarled at me.

"Where did you get that?" I snarled at her, ready to rip her hand open if need be, in order to get to Natalie's necklace.

"Natalie's in trouble, Jasper. But the girl is not at fault" Edward said, I knew he had been reading her mind. Everyone turned to look at him. The girl was obviously curious at how Edward knew all this.

"Rosalie. Go see Bella. Ask her come to the house. You need to stay with Nessie. It's not safe to bring her to the house. I don't know if the girl can control her bloodlust" Edward said. Rosalie simply nodded, realising the seriousness of the situation and headed off, never turning her back to the new vampire. Edward turned to us, realising that he needed to explain.

"Natalie's been taken by Alec" he said, his gaze never leaving mine.

"What?" I yelled. I was furious. Alec had taken Natalie from me and he needed to pay. I wouldn't rest until he had felt at least half the pain I had felt. How could I think Natalie had left me? The guilt was overwhelming.

"But why?" asked Esme.

"I think he's obsessed with her, from what I can see from her memory" Edward said. I growled at the mention of Alec.

"How would he even know about Natalie?" Alice asked.

"I'll think we'll get more answers, when we find Natalie" said Carlisle.

"We need to find her" I stormed, ready to just rip into something. Prefably Alec.

"What's your name?" Esme asked the girl kindly.

"Elizabeth" the young girl stammered. Once again, Elizabeth placed her hand in front of her, revealing Natalie's pendant.

"I think you should have this. She saved my life" she said, looking at me. I could tell she felt guilty.

"How did she save your life?" I asked, desperate for any information about Natalie.

"That guy. I think you called him Alec. He attacked me. Natalie pulled him off of me. All I felt was pain, but she whispered to me, The Cullens, Forks. What's happened to me?" Elizabeth said. She didn't know what she was.

"We need to go" I said, not willing to let Natalie spend another minute with that monster. She must be so scared. I needed to be with her. I couldn't believe that I had failed to protect her. Again. Bella arrived then, the confusion evident on her face.

"What's going..." she began to ask.

"We'll explain on they way" I interrupted, getting frustrated with every delay. It was finally agreed that Esme would stay behind, to take care of Elizabeth. Rosalie would look after Nessie. Edward after reading Elizabeth's thoughts, was able to direct us to the the place Elizabeth had last seen Natalie. Bella also needed to come. We knew she was the only protection we had against Alec. I couldn't stand the thought of Alec using his powers on Natalie. All the things he could have done to her, while she remained unaware. I felt sickened by the thought of Natalie being alone with that creep.

It took us about a day to reach the spot that Elizabeth had been turned. The girl's blood still smeared the ground. I could still vaguely smell the scent of both Alec and Natalie. The former smell increased my fury and my violent urges grew. The second scent was like coming home. I had been seperated from Natalie for far too long. I needed to be by her side. I needed to protect her. I needed to know that she was safe. I just needed her.

I let out an uncontrallably growl, as everyone worked together to pick up the trail. The trail that would lead us to Natalie. Natalie and him. I was furious that she had been exposed to such a monster. As my anger grew, so did my guilt. I could imagine all too well, what Natalie must have felt. The fear at Alec's intentions. The hopelessness she must have felt, as no rescue had come for her. I had already allowed this monster to abuse her, for far too long. There would be no escape for him.

Carlisle indicated that he had picked up the trail and we all followed his lead. I could tell that Bella was concentrating, already extending her shield to all of us. Her fury had picked up, as we closed in on Alec and Natalie and I was surprised to find that it rivalled my own. We crept through the trees, like the predators we were. Only this time, we were not hunting a deer or any other kind of animal. This time we were hunting a vampire and a dangerous one at that. I could see a house in the distance and Natalie's scent became stronger and I knew that the house was her prison. I struggled to control the growl, that I wanted to release, at the thought of her being trapped in that house with him. My ears picked up the sound of a piano being played and I knew it was her.

"Hold on Natalie. We're coming" I thought to myself.
