10. Fighting inner demons part 1

Bella POV

We had pulled over to get food. This time getting out of the van was harder for all of us. But we did. Yea even though Kate and Garrett were staying with Jasmine I still didn't want to leave her alone. The reality of what happened was starting to get to all of us. But I knew that we had to move on from it.

As we headed into the little restraint no one said a word. I looked at the rest of my group. Laurent and Irina we holding hands and talking to each other. But they were talking low enough that even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able to hear what they were saying. I looked towards Ben and Angela. Ben had his arm around her shoulders. At that moment he leaned in and kissed her check and she just leaned further into his side.

In looking at the two couples I was jealous. I had that with Edward. Until he decided to through it all away. I felt the hole in my heart start to ache and I wrapped my arms around my waist to hold myself together. I didn't need to break down here. I couldn't. Jasmine needed us to be strong. She needed me to be strong. After everything that she has done for me I could do this one thing for her.

As I was trying to make the pain go away I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders and pull me close. I looked to see who the arm belonged to, to see Ben and Angela. Ben leaned in and said, "I know."

In those two words was so much understanding. I just looked at him. I didn't know what to say. Angela sensing that just said, "Bella we know this is hard for you. But you will find your other half. Fuckward didn't deserve you. And I am sure the girl he is with now can't even compare to you. No one can B you will get through this. And you have us to lean on."

"Angela Ben, I know. It's just that….God this is so stupid. But I got jealous of you guys. It's not that Dickward moved on. But that I don't have that kind of support any more. I know I have you guys to lean on but it's not the same. You know?" I tell them.

"Yea we understand. But do you want to know the fucked up part?" Ben asked.

"What?" I asked him confused.

"You might be jealous of us right now, but both of us were jealous of you," he told me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked as we walked through the doors.

"How many?" one of the waitresses asked.

"Five," I tell her. She grabs menus and silverware and leads us to our table.

"Your server will be right with you," she tells us before she walks away.

"I was jealous because okay let's face it Bella. When you came to school you had every guy trying to get with you. And you turned everyone down. But you let Cullen in. He could give you anything you wanted. And I was jealous of that," Ben said.

"But you're in love with Angela," I say trying to figure this out.

"Yes I am. But I didn't realize that until after you started dating Cullen. So even though I was jealous that you were with him. It also helped me to see who I was meant to be with," Ben said kissing Angela's cheek again.

She gave a small laugh and then said, "And let's face it. Every girl had been trying to get with Doucheward. Even though I never wanted to be in a relationship with him. Doesn't mean that I didn't want to get to know him. You were the only one he ever really let get close to him. So I was jealous that he would let you in. But one good thing did come from my jealous."

"And what was that?" I asked with a small laugh.

"I did get to know him through you. And that pissed Jessica off," she said laughing now.

"You humans are definitely strange," Laurent said.

"Oh and you aren't," I said to him.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Irina asked confused.

"He goes form a bloody and violent coven to a peaceful one. He could have stayed and helped the Cullen's the first time that this happened but he didn't want to fight against James. But now he is going against James's mate. Now if you ask me that is just as strange as what we're talking about," I tell her.

Before either one of them could say anything our waitress came up to the table. Asking, "What can I get you guys to drink?"

"I'll have a Dr. Pepper," I tell her.

Ben says, "I'll have the same."

Angela says, "Water."

Laurent and Irina both say, "Water." I just look at them.

"Do you know what you want or do you need a few more minutes?" she asks then.

"I know what I want…..you guys?" I ask the others. They all nodded so I went on to say, "I will have a cheese burger well done and fries."

"And for you sir," she said looking at Ben.

"I'll have the same thing," he tells her.

She looks to Angela who just says, "The same."

When she looked at Laurent I thought he was going to say nothing for him. But he surprised me by saying, "We are going to spilt a cheese burger and fries."

"How do you want the burger?" she asked him.

"Well done," Irina told her.

"Alright I will place your order and be back with your drinks," she told us before she left the table.

"What are you doing?" I asked them. I knew that they weren't going to eat the food. This is why Dickward and I got into most of our fights. He wanted to take me to expansive places but I didn't see the needed since I would be the only one eating.

"When Jasmine wakes up she is going to be hungry and I know that Peter and Char don't have any food in their house. So what we got is for her," Laurent said without even being phased by my question.

"Smart thinking," Ben said.

"Alright but getting back to what you said Bella," Laurent said bringing us back to or conversation before the waitress came up to the table. "You are right I should have helped you then. But I would have also been a danger to you at the time. All I knew was the life I had with James and Victoria. Irina helped me see that things could be different. Actually I have you to thank for that."

"Me!" I yelped. Just then the waitress came back with our drinks. Once she left the table I looked back to Laurent.

He just nodded and said, "Yes. I had heard of the Cullen's and how they feed. But I never thought that lifestyle would bring any peace to my life. But when we walked into that clearing and I saw them playing and having fun. I thought maybe I could be wrong. Then to find that they had befriend a human. Only later to find out you were dating one of our kind.

"I really wanted to give their lifestyle a try. When I went to the house to tell you guys about what James was going to do. I had no clue that Doucheward was able to read minds. But when Carlisle told me of another coven like his. I had to go. I hoped that they would be able to help me make that change.

"I only went to see if I would be able to hunt animals. But when I meat Irina I knew that I had made the right choice. And although it is still hard for me at times, I don't regret making that change. So you see if I never would have meat you I would still be in hell. You helped to change my life and to find my mate."

"Well I'm glad that some good came out of that whole situation," I mumbled.

"What do you mean?" he asked confused by what I had just said.

I took a deep breath and said, "After everything that happened with James. While I was in the hospital in Phoenix my mom tried to get me to move back in with her. I told her no. That was the first time that Edward tried to leave me. But I couldn't let him go. I loved him. But now I see that I was stupid. I should have let him walk away then. Then maybe none of this would have happened."

Ben started to laugh at what I had just said. I glared at him. Once he stopped laughing he looked at me and said, "Oh, you were being serious. Sis the only thing that might have done was maybe not hurt as much. But this would still be happening. Well okay maybe Ang and I wouldn't be with you…but Victoria would still be coming after you. And Jasmine still would have found you. So which would you really rather have had?"

"I see your point," I told him shaking my head. I looked at Angela and then teasingly asked, "How do you put up with his ass? I mean really sometimes he can be a know it all."

Angela just laughed at that. She gave Ben a kiss on the cheek and then said, "Yea he can be. But for as much of a pain in the ass he can be he can also be really sweet."

"Thanks so much for saying that I'm a pain in the ass Ang. Now tell me why do I love you?" he asked her.

She gave a small laugh and just said, "You love me because you know I'm right." But in our heads she added, And because now I can kick your ass now. That's why you love me.

Oh I can think of few other things we can do now with everything we have learned. The fighting won't just be for practice….Ben said seductively.

Okay I so do not need to hear that. And I am sure that Jasmine doesn't need to hear it or feel your guys lust right now. Remember our sister that is still trying to heal in the van, I tell both of them.

Sorry, both of them said to me and Jasmine. But we didn't get any type of response from Jasmine. I mean I know she was out in the car but we were right by the van. She should have been able to talk to us. We all looked at each other. I didn't have to be an empath or a mind reader. We were all worried and scared for Jasmine in that moment.

The waitress came back with our food. I wanted nothing more than to just tell her we would be taking four to go boxes and heading right back out to the van. But I knew that if I did that then Laurent and Irina would want to know what was wrong. And we couldn't have that conversation just yet. So I just looked over to Ben and Angela and then said, We have to eat here. If we tell them we need to leave now they will want to know what's going on. We can't have that conversation in the car.

Yeah, so right now we need to play it cool. That's going to be a little hard since I am now freaking out, Angela said as she took a bite out of her burger.

Baby its okay everything is going to be okay. Besides remember what Jasmine said, Ben told her while taking a bite out of his burger as well.

I was confused by what he said. I took a bite out of my burger and ate a few fries then I asked him, What are you getting at?

She said at nineteen she either stopped ageing or she dies. Well she isn't nineteen yet is she. So I think that she is just trying to conserve whatever energy she does have right now. While you two were sleeping she told me she needed blood, he said while eating some fries. You know this whole talking without having to say everything out loud is really handy when you are trying to keep secrets.

So then we get her what she needs. We can get an animal or two for her, Angela said. I wasn't quite sure how we were going to pull that one off because none of us were hunters really.

Not animal blood. She needs human blood, Ben said. Well shit that really wasn't a problem then.

I gave a small laugh and said, So she takes some from each of us.

Ben shook his head and just said, I already tried that. She said that she couldn't. That she needs too much that she would end up killing us.

Apprehensively Angela said, Then we are going to have to find a way to get her what she needs. But how do you tell vampires that a person they think is human needs blood?

Ben and I both said, Good question. I looked at all of our plates and then said, Okay we've eaten about half of our food. We should get to-go boxes and save the rest for later. Since these friends won't have any food for us to eat.

They both said, Okay.

The waitress came by then and asked, "Would you guys like any dessert today?"

We all said, "No thanks."

I then asked, "Would you mind bringing us some to-go boxes pleas."

"No problem. Here is your check pay me whenever you're ready," she said as she placed the bill on the table and then walked away. Before any of us could move Laurent grabbed the bill off the table.

"You really don't have to do that. We could pay for the food since we are the ones that are eating it," I said dryly.

"Yes you guys are the ones eating it, but I am not going to let you pay this bill. Now don't argue with me on this Bella you know you won't be able to win," Laurent said with a smile playing on his lips.

I glared at him. I thought about what he said. I did have a way to win this but instead of doing anything right now I just said, "Oh fine you can pay for the food this time. But don't think you will the next time. I will win the argument Laurent when we have one."

Ben and Angela gave a laugh. Irina just said, "I think she might be right she did spend a lot of time with the Cullen's honey. She would be the one to know how to argue with a vampire."

"That is true sweetie but I am not a Cullen. So don't even think about it Bella. And that goes for you two as well," he said to all of us.

We tried so hard not to laugh. And the waitress walking up to the table with our to-go boxes. She handed us each a box and then took the bill from Laurent. "I'll be right back with your change," she said as she started to walk away.

"No change," Laurent told her. Of course he would say no change. They all do that. But then again if you have an endless amount of money I guess it really wouldn't matter. It just bugs the shit out of me. We put what was left of our food in our boxes and then headed back out to the van.

Jasmine POV

I knew that they were all worried about me. I could feel it. And then when Ben was hinting to Angela what they could do with everything they have learned. And then when they apologized to me and I didn't answer. I knew that, that really freaked them out. They knew that I was getting stronger. I was moving a little bit now. So I should have been able to answer them, and I was able to. I just didn't. I was just a little too wrapped up in what was being said in the van.

"So what do you think her story is?" Garrett asked Kate.

"I don't know. But I have a feeling we'll find out once we get to Peter's. But whatever her story is I don't think it is going to be a pretty one," Kate told him.

"Why do you say that? I mean I know you said she was bit by a vampire. And they told us what her fiancé did to her. But what makes you think that there is more to it?"

"It's just the way….the way that Bella and her friends look at her. It's like they know more than they are telling us. I would almost say they knew Victoria was coming for them. That us showing up wasn't that big of a surprise to them."

Garrett pulled me tighter to him and said, "They did know that Victoria was after them. Bella even said it. But I am worried about Jasmine. I mean even though we can hear that her heart is beating it is slowing. Something isn't right. Yeah she moved but she should have woken up by now. I know I haven't been around humans a lot but this just doesn't seem right to me."

"I have spent enough time with humans and your right this isn't right. Let's just hope they don't take too long in there eating. I think the sooner we get to Peter's the better off we'll be," Kate said agreeing with him.

"Thank God. Here they come," Garrett said exhaling an unneeded breath.

"Everything okay in here?" Irina asked as her door closed.

"If by okay do you mean has she done anything, then the answer would be no. If you mean is her heart still beating then yes, everything is okay," Kate said brushing back some hair that had fallen over my eyes.

"We aren't far from Peter's. Maybe he'll know what to do," Laurent said.

"I hope so," Garrett said and then I felt his lips on the top of my head. That was odd. His emotions were becoming more protective by the second and so were Kate's.

Bella asked, Jasmine is everything okay?

Just weak. Need blood, I told her.

Bella then asked, Bag of blood, or straight from the source?

Of course she would be the one to ask that question. So I told them the truth, Straight from the source.

Take it from us, Angela said without hesitation.

I gave a small laugh to that. My only response was again the truth, I'd kill you. I need too much. I have to take a life and….

And what? Bella asked concerned.

I sighed and said, I can't do it. I can't become that monster. Not again.

Bella yelled, So you would rather die than do what is needed to live?

It would be better than having everyone look at me like I was a monster, I told them.

This time Ben yelled, We would never look at you like that and you know it!

Before I could say anything to what he had said Angela said, I don't think she is talking about us.

Then who? Ben asked.

Angela just said, The pack!

Bella yelled, Fuck them. If they can't understand then they can all go fuck themselves. We are not going to lose you. So if I need to go and grab you some people for you to eat I will do it.

I only asked, Bella do you realize what you just said?

Bella just said, YES! Damn it! You were there for me and did everything that was needed to kick my ass out of my numb state and I will be damned if I am not going to do the same for you. You have been put through hell because of me. So don't argue with me on this. You are going to do what is needed to survive and that is that.

So we just have to tell Peter to go get Jasmine a nice tasty human to eat. Yeah does that sound strange to anyone else since we are human and all? Angela asked.

Ben just said, They are going to think that we are fucked up in the head.

Bella gave a small laugh and then said, Well we kinda are. But then again we are only doing what is needed to be done to save our sister. They would do the same thing for any member of their family. And besides they are going to think we are crazy even without us saying anything about Jasmine needing human blood. We are humans that are okay being around vampires and shape shifters.

I couldn't help the laugh that slipped out of my throat. Our little silent conversation was funny. Talking about our sanity. Yea we were all fucked up in the head. But none of us ever claimed to be normal. "Did she just laugh?" Laurent asked confused.

"Yes she did. What could she have found so funny, no one has said a word?" Garrett said. It was true they didn't hear anyone talking.

"Jasmine can you open your eyes?" Kate asked placing her hand on my face. I tried and I wasn't able to.

Guys I can't. I'm still too weak, I told them.

"How much longer until we get to your friends place?" Bella asked.

"Five minutes," Laurent said. Then he asked, "Did she open her eyes?"

"No, but her eye lids are fluttering," Kate answered him.

"I know this is a piece of shit van but Laurent hit the gas and make that five shorter," Garrett said.

"I am going as fast as this peace of shit van can go. I know we can run faster than this but the sun is out now. So us running is out of the question," Laurent told Garrett.

I could feel Garrett's agitation with the situation. He really was worried about me. And that scared me. No one outside of my family has ever really given a shit about me. I didn't know if this was because they thought I was human and helpless or if it was something else. I was worried about all of their reactions when they found out about what I am.

"Everything is going to be fine Jasmine. We won't let anything happen to you," Ben said. But the only thing was he said it so that everyone could hear.

"The house is coming into sight," Laurent said about three minutes later.

"If you slow down I will get out and run the rest of the way," Garrett said.

"No!" Bella, Ben, and Angela said together.

Kate asked, "Why not?"

"Think about it. First do they know that all of you are coming? Second they don't know that you have humans with you. If you show up running to their house with her they are going to think that you slipped up and that is why you are here along with Laurent," Bella said.

"She's right honey. We are almost there and it would be better if they saw everyone at once. That way they won't think that either one of you guys slipped up. It would also be easier to tell them what happened," Kate said.

"Alright but I am not letting her go," Garret said.

"Why?" Ben asked.

"I just can't. It's hard to explain. Ever since what those two guys tried to do I feel a pull to her. I don't know. I just feel like I have to protect her. It's not the same type of pull that mates have but it is close to it," Garrett told him.

"I fell it to. But I started to feel it when I was helping to change her the first time. And when Irina and I were tending to what those two guys did the pull I felt got stronger," Kate said.

Guys I can feel what they're talking about. But I don't understand it. Do Irina and Laurent feel any type of pull to me? I asked them. I had to know the answer. I couldn't think straight right now I was too weak.

"Laurent, Irina do you guys feel a pull to Jasmine like Garrett and Kate do?" Bella asked.

Both of them said, "Yes."

Ben asked, "So what does that mean? I mean they don't even know Jasmine."

"We'll find out once she wakes up," Kate said.

"Well they are waiting for us. Irina I want you to stay close to Bella. Kate stay close to Angela and Ben. I know that they won't hurt them but I don't want to fuck around with this. We need to figure out how to help Jasmine as fast as we can," Laurent said as he turned off the engine. The doors opened at the same time and I could tell that I was being moved. At this point there wasn't anything that I could do. I was too weak.

Peter POV

"Char get your sexy ass in here now Laurent will be here soon with his problem," I yelled at my wife.

"Did he slip up? Is that why he is coming?" She asked as she walked into the living room.

"I don't know. I don't really know what his problem is only that he has one," I told her. I really hate 'knowing shit' especially when I don't know what it is I am supposed to know. Everyone says that it is gift. I just say it's a pain in my ass.

Like right now. I know that it is Laurent that has the problem. But do I know what this problem is…..NO. What I do know is that he is going to need mine and Jaspers help. Not that Jasper is going to be much help right now anyways.

I know something major happened in Forks before he left but he won't talk about it. All he will say is that he tried to attack his brothers human girlfriend. And because of that one slip up the whole family was leaving Forks. That he knew that Edward was going to do something stupid and there was nothing he could do to stop it. He has spent every second of the day debating if he should go back to Forks and see if everything is okay. But he doesn't. He needs to make up his DAMN mind already. It is driving us crazy.

"Sorry man," Jasper said as he walked into the room. I just looked at him. "I know I've been projecting," he said to clarify.

"No shit you've been projecting. We haven't felt one fucking happy emotion from you since you got here. You need to talk about what happened the night you left. Or you just need to move the Fuck on," Char told him placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Let's deal with this first. Then we can worry about what happened. So do you know who it is that needs our help?" he asked me.

"Yeah I know. But I don't think you're going to like it. It's Laurent," I told him.

"Why the fuck would I help him?" Jasper yelled at me.

"Because he needs it. And also because he had nothing to do with what happened to Bella when James attacked her. You said it yourself he told you guys what James was planning to do. He left so that he would have no part of it," I told him.

"That doesn't mean that I would want to help him now," Jasper hissed.

I just looked at him. Shaking my head I just said, "Fine then stay in here while we talk to him and see what's going on. But you know you'll end up helping him."

"Why do you say that?" he asked.

"Because you trust me. And you have never gone against anything I've said or this 'gift' as you so love to call it Fucker," I told him.

"Fuck you," was all he said as Char and I headed to the front door. They should be close.

As soon as we got outside Char slapped me upside the head. "What was that for women?" I asked.

"That was for pissing Jasper off," she said.

"Well I would rather he projected being pissed off then depressed," I told her.

"That might be true but it doesn't mean you have to push him. Whatever happened in Forks really has him upset. I have never seen him like this. I mean it's worse than when we were with Maria. Or even after he left her," Char said.

"Yeah I know. And that's what has me worried. We know he didn't slip up. His eyes weren't red when he got here. But I can't figure out why he is being so hard on himself. So he nearly attacked this human. It is in our nature. But he needs to look at it from a different light. He didn't attack her. She is still alive and he knows that she doesn't blame him for what he attempted to do," I told Char.

"Yes I know that. But this is Jasper we are talking about," was all she said.

"I can still hear every word you guys are saying. Peter you need to stop talking about this. I may have never gone against you before but you are pushing my last nerve right now Fucker," Jasper yelled.

"Here they come," Char said. And that effectively stopped our conversation. Both Char and I just looked at the van that was coming up or drive. Really Laurent got a van. What the Fuck was going through his mind when he got this car. I mean did he have the need to look like a fucking soccer dad. I was going to have to have a talk with him about what types of cars were okay for a vampire to have. Because a van sure as hell wasn't one of them.

I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of three strong heart beats and one really almost none existent one. Fucker did slip up and he brought the one he nearly killed here along with three others. I looked at Char because I knew she could hear the heart beats as well.

"Did he slip up? Is that why there are four humans with him. Did the other three see him attack the one with the weak heart beat?" she asked me.

"I don't know," I told her. And I honestly didn't. But as the van got closer I was able to see that it wasn't just Laurent and the humans in the van. I could see at least one other vampire. "Laurent isn't alone. Another vampire is with him," I told Char.

When the van stopped I pulled Char closer to my side. I didn't know what was going to happen next. But I wanted to be safe. I know that Char and I have no problem with human blood since we don't deny ourselves but I still didn't want to take any chances. Once the engine was turned off the doors opened at the same time and Laurent and three other vampires stepped out along with three humans. The fourth one was being carried by Garrett. What did that Fucker do? I wondered.

They were far enough away that they wouldn't hear what I was saying when I said, "Jasper I think you really need to get out here, now."

"Why?" Jasper asked.

"You just do," I said. I heard Jasper sigh and start to move towards the door. Louder I asked, "Laurent what have you gotten yourself into?"

"It's a long story my friend, but first we have to help this little one. She has been like this since we left Forks and it seems like she is only getting worse," Laurent told me.

"You're helping humans now?" I asked confused by what he was saying.

"Was it not you that said I would have a strange problem and you would help me? I would say that this is that problem but I will tell you why all of us and these humans are here once we can figure out what is wrong with her," Laurent said pointing to the girl in Garrett's arms. She was beautiful. But her body was covered in scars. And I could see a few bite marks. It looked like the bite marks were from a vampire and a few from a werewolf. But she didn't smell like either.

"She needs blood," one of the other humans said. I looked in their direction right as Jasper walked out of the front door. I turned my head to look at him and then I heard the gasps coming from the humans. Did they know Jasper? I mean I know that Laurent said they came from Forks and all but that would be to perfect if these humans knew him. All the more reason for him to help.

"Jasper?" the brunet girl said staring at Jasper in shock.

"Bella?" Jasper said moving closer to her. Okay so that was the girl that was dating Edward. The one that he tried to attack. WOW she is hot. I could see what Eddie boy saw in her. But as soon as Jasper got close to her the guy on her right stepped in front of her. And before any of us were able to move he gave Jasper a swift right hook. Man that guy is dumber then a box of rocks. All he managed to do was break his right hand by hitting Jasper. But the screams that I was expecting to hear from him never came.

When I looked at Jasper I saw that he was rubbing his right cheek and he looked shocked as hell. We all did. Well everyone but Bella and the other girl. The guy just stood there. It looked like he was getting ready to punch Jasper again. When Bella said, "Ben enough. Why did you do that? You know I never blamed Jasper for what happened?"

"You might not have blamed him for trying to attack you Bella. But he knew that the family was leaving and what Fuckward was going to do. And he didn't tell you. Sure he said good-bye to you but he could have given you a heads up about the others leaving," this Ben guy said looking right at Jasper the entire time.

"That doesn't matter right now Ben," Bella said. She then looked at the other girl and said, "He broke his hand. Angela get in Jasmine's bag and find one of the splints and take care of your boyfriends hand." The other girl got right to work on what Bella had asked her to do. Then Bella looked at Jasper and said, "Jasper this going to sound crazy but you have to trust me on this Jasmine needs human blood. Can't be bag-o-blood, but straight from the source blood."

"Bella what are talking about?" Jasper asked confused. Well I didn't need to be an empath to know that everyone was confused by what she just said. Because that made no since that a human would need human blood straight from other humans. The only way for that to work was if that girl right there was a vampire. And I can say for sure that she wasn't. She didn't small or even look like one of us.

"We'll explain everything but you already know that there is more to Jasmine then meets the eye. So just trust me on this. Can you take her hunting. Make sure she takes what she needs," Bella said.

"Bella you know I can't do that," Jasper said shaking his head.

Bella looked at me and Char then. Then she looked at the girl I am guessing was Jasmine. Then back to us, "Will you guys take her. I know you feed off of humans. You can handle the blood."

Before Char or I could answer the one named Angela said, "Jasmine you are doing it. We are not going to let you die. The pack can go fuck themselves if they can't understand." She then looked at Char and me and yelled, "You two take her now and force feed her if you have to."

I looked to Jasper. He just nodded his head. And both Char and I went to get Jasmine from Garrett's arm. He gave a low growl in warning to us. We both stopped in our tracks. Bella looked at him and just said, "If you don't give her to them you are signing her death certificate Garrett. Do you want that?"

Garrett looked at Bella and then at me. He sighed and then walked towards us. He reached out his arms to give me the girl. Then he said, "If you hurt her Peter so help me I will rip your ass apart." I nodded at him in understanding and then we took off. We couldn't feed in Polo. It was too small of a town. People would notice. So we headed to Kansa City/Liberty so that we could find someone for Jasmine to feed off of.

The only thing is, she didn't smell or feel like one of us. So I didn't understand how she was going to do this. But I got one of my feelings that this was right and she was going to be able to feed just fine. But she would need a little help at first.

Jasper POV

I know that I am driving Peter and Char crazy with my emotional rollercoaster. Going from one depressing emotion to the other. But I can't help it. I never should have left Forks. Or I should have told Bella that I wasn't the only one leaving. But I did leave. And I didn't tell her. I know that everyone leaving was going to kill her. I mean I know that Jasmine was there with her, but even she wouldn't be able to help Bella. She didn't know the whole story.

And there was more to Jasmine's story then I knew. She told me just as much the night that I left. But why she wouldn't tell me the whole story is what is bugging me. She said in time I would know. How? If I was never going to go back to Forks how would I find out what her story was. She knew that something was going to happen. I mean she was outside our Fucking house the night of Bella's birthday party.

But she didn't do a damn thing to stop me from lunging for Bella. She just sat in that fucking tree. I don't know what the fuck she was really doing in that tree. I mean she didn't look surprised to see me when I sat next to her. She told me what was going to happen next. She was the one that told me I should tell Bella good-bye. Fuck she left me with more questions than answers.

I could hear Peter and Char talking about me. And my 'situation' as they loved to call it. If only they knew the whole story. Yeah they know I tried to attack Bella. And then that Edward decided that everyone was going to leave Forks and Bella. But they really had no clue about Jasmine. Sure Peter called me and told me I should trust her. But he didn't know anything else about her. I never told him what she looked like. That she was covered in what looked like battle scars. That she had bite marks from our kind. They knew nothing about her, but then again I really knew nothing about her. Only what she had told Rose and Alice when she had gone shopping with them and Bella.

But I never thought that when Peter said it was Laurent that was in need of our help that it would be because he was helping Bella. When I walked out of the house and on to the front porch my eyes locked on hers. At first I thought I was seeing things. This really couldn't be happening. She couldn't be here.

"Bella?" was all I could say.

When she said, "Jasper?" She sounded just as confused as I was. But then again Bella really didn't know anything about me. She was never allowed to be close to me. So I could understand her shock at seeing me.

I didn't really notice anyone standing next to her. So when I felt somebody's right hook hit my right cheek I was caught off guard. And man it hurt. I looked to see who had just punched me only to be shocked that it was Ben Cheney. Not only was he a human but he wasn't screaming out in pain for breaking his hand on my face. In fact I hardly felt any pain coming from him at all.

Bella just said, "Ben enough. Why did you do that? You know I never blamed Jasper for what happened?"

"You might not have blamed him for trying to attack you Bella. But he knew that the family was leaving and what Fuckward was going to do. And he didn't tell you. Sure he said good-bye to you but he could have given you a heads up about the others leaving," Ben said looking right at me the entire time. He was right I could have given her a heads up on that. But how did he know?

"That doesn't matter right now Ben," Bella said. She then looked at Angela Webber and said, "He broke his hand. Angela get in Jasmine's bag and find one of the splints and take care of your boyfriends hand." Angela got right to work on what Bella had asked her to do. What the fuck was going on. Did Bella tell them about us after we left. The only emotion I am get off them is shock at seeing me, then anger again directed at me, and fear. But the fear is directed towards Jasmine. That's strange. Why is their fear directed at Jasmine? Before I could ask any of the questions floating in my head Bella looked at me and said, "Jasper this going to sound crazy but you have to trust me on this Jasmine needs human blood. Can't be bag-o-blood, but straight from the source blood."

"Bella what are you talking about?" I asked. Now I really was confused.

"We'll explain everything but you already know that there is more to Jasmine then meets the eye. So just trust me on this. Can you take her hunting. Make sure she takes what she needs," Bella said.

"Bella you know I can't do that," I said shaking my head. Bella knew I had control issues. Why would she ask me to do that.

Bella then looked at Peter and Char. Then she looked at Jasmine. Then back to them finally coming to a decision she asked them, "Will you guys take her. I know you feed off of humans. You can handle the blood."

Before Char or Peter could answer Angela said, "Jasmine you are doing it. We are not going to let you die. The pack can go fuck themselves if they can't understand." She then looked at Char and Peter and yelled, "You two take her now and force feed her if you have to." In all of the time we lived in Forks Angela had never shown any signs of being able to read our minds. If she was able to do that then Edward should have been able to tell us. But he never said a word about it. So I had no clue about what the Fuck was going on.

Peter looked to me. I just nodded my head telling him he should do as they asked. And both of them went to get Jasmine from Garrett's arms. Garret gave a low growl in warning to them. He was sending off waves of protectiveness. How did he even know Jasmine? They both stopped in their tracks at that. Bella looked at him and just said, "If you don't give her to them you are signing her death certificate Garrett. Do you want that?"

Garrett looked at Bella and then at Peter. He sighed and then walked towards them. He reached out his arms to give Peter the girl. Then he said, "If you hurt her Peter so help me I will rip your ass apart." Peter nodded at him in understanding and then they took off. Polo was too small of a town for them to feed in. So I knew they would be taking her to the closet place they could. I still wasn't really that familiar with the area. But I really couldn't figure out why Garrett was so protective of Jasmine. But I also noticed that the others had the same feelings towards her. I pushed that to the back of my mind for now. I would ask them about it later.

I just looked at Bella. I could tell that she was worried about Jasmine. So I tried to sooth her worry. "Peter and Char won't hurt her Bella. You can trust them," I told her. She just looked at me and nodded. I then looked at the other vampires. Finally noticing that it was Kate and Irina with them. "Kate, Irina what are you two doing here?" I asked.

"It's been a while since your last visit. Laurent is my mate," Irina said. I just looked at her in shock.

Kate just said, "And Garrett is mine."

I shook my head to clear it. Okay so that explains how they knew each other. I just looked at Laurent and then asked, "Laurent what is going on?"

Laurent looked at Bella and she nodded to him. I didn't understand that little exchange between them. But when he looked back at me he said, "Victoria called me for a favor," I hissed at the name. But he ignored it and went on to say, "She told me what she wanted to do. I knew I couldn't let her. So I told Irina, Kate, and Garrett what she wanted. We came up with the plane to help Bella. But we didn't know she wasn't going to be alone. Victoria had mention that she was always with three friends. So we planed what we would do if Bella was with her friends or alone. Victoria thought I had come alone. She thought I was going to help her.

"I knew we were going to have to move fast. But I wasn't able to kill Victoria. I only managed to slow her down. We got Bella and her friends away safely. Jasper I don't know what happened. But after we left where they were," he pointed to Bella, Ben, and Angela, "The place caught on fire. It was like a bomb went off. And then Jasmine passed out. Or at least I thought that's what she did. But she has never come too," Laurent said shaking his head.

I looked at Bella then asked, "I know they know what we are. But Bella did you tell them?"

"Why does everyone think that Bella is the one to spill the beans. Jasper you guys weren't the only ones that went bump in the night in Forks," Angela said exasperated.

"Angela it's okay. Jasper doesn't know anything about the pack. He wasn't with the Cullen's when the treaty was made," Bella said.

"How do you know about the treaty?" I asked her confused.

"So you do you do know about it," Ben said.

"Yes I know about it but there weren't any wolves in Forks. They haven't been since Carlisle made that treaty. We still abide by it only because we never wanted any problems. Are you telling me that they are back?" I ask them.

"Yup," all three of them said.

"What are you guys talking about?" Kate asked me confused.

"Kate I told you about the shape shifters," Ben told her.

"Wait when did you tell her about the pack?" Bella asked confused.

"After you went to sleep. Jasmine said to tell them everything that we were able to tell them until we got here," He said shrugging his shoulders like it was no big deal.

"Wait what do you mean Jasmine told you? She hasn't said a single word the entire time we were in that van. She hardly even moved," Garrett said.

"Well that's not exactly true," Bella said.

"Just because your sensitive hearing didn't hear anything doesn't mean she never said anything. Jasmine is extremely gifted. But what she can do is better left for her to tell you," Angela said.

"Let's take this inside. Bella you guys have a lot of explaining to do but we will wait for Peter and Char to come back with Jasmine," Irina said.

I motioned for everyone to come inside. I let Laurent and the others go in first I stayed back. Bella was the last one. Before she was able to walk through the door I stopped her. "Bella what is going on?" I asked her.

"More than any of us know. Look I know you want answers but I can't give them to you because I don't know the answers to the questions you have. Jasper look you are just going to have to wait for Jasmine to tell you and she will. Whatever Rose and Alice told you about her wasn't the truth. But you already figured that much out on your own. So just wait for her to tell you her story," Bella tells me as she walks into the house.

As soon as we walked into the living room with everyone else. Angela looked at Bella and asked, "Everything alright?"

Bella looked at her and Ben and just said, "Yea, everything is fine. Toss me my bag. We need to get ready."

"Already a head of you little sis," Ben said.

"Get ready for what?" I asked them confused again by what they were saying. I looked to Laurent and the others to see if they knew what they were talking about. But they were just as confused as I was.

I noticed that when Bella opened her bag I wasn't able to see anything. Then she pulled out this holster and what looked like two police night sticks. Not the ones they have now a days. But the old fashion ones. All three of them had them. I didn't say anything as they strapped the holsters on their right thighs. And then placed their night sticks in the holsters.

"What in the hell are those?" Irina asked them.

"A very useful tool. Don't worry we won't use them on you," Ben said with smirk.

"Like they would even hurt us," Kate said giving a small laugh.

All three of them just laughed at Kate's comment but didn't say anything else about it. They just sat on the couch waiting for Peter, Char, and Jasmine to return.

Peter POV

We made it to Kansas City/Liberty in no time. Missouri is such a strange state. It didn't take us long to find what we were looking for. I know that Bella said Jasmine needed to have human blood but we were going to stick to how Char and I hunted. If she was having problems taking blood from humans then there was no way we were going to give her an innocent.

We came across a group of seven guys. They had a girl pined against a wall. Today was her lucky day. She was going to be given a second chance and these guys were going to meet their end. I just wasn't sure how to go about this. Neither one of us has ever had to feed someone blood before. So this was going to be a learning experience for all of us. I still wasn't sure how Jasmine was going to do this since she was just a human.

I looked at Char and said, "Okay I am going to set Jasmine down. You need to get the girl away from here and I will take care of the guys."

"Alright sounds like a plan. Just knock the guys out. It would be easier to feed her if their blood is still pumping," Char said as I set Jasmine down on the ground. We both started to walk towards the small group. I could feel my throat start to burn. I looked at Char and knew that she was feeling the same thing.

We had a job to do. And right now that was all that matter. "Hey now is that any way to treat a lady?" I asked them. Getting them to turn their attention to me and away from the girl in front of them. It worked like a charm too.

"This is none of your concern. Now Fuck off," one of the guys said. As he went to turn back to the girl she was already gone. Char didn't have to get her out of there. As soon as she had an opening she ran. Smart girl. I just looked at Char and shrugged my shoulders at her.

"Where the Fuck did that cunt go?" another guy asked.

"Away from you," Char told them.

"Then I guess we will just have to take care of you two. Since it is your fault that slut got away," a third guy said.

"Oh sugar you can try but you won't win," Char told them sweetly. I just had to laugh at them. They really had no clue to what they just gotten themselves into.

It took us only a matter of seconds to incapacitate them. Once they were down I ran back to Jasmine and brought her over to the guys. I looked at Char and said, "Okay so now how should we do this?"

"Well let's see if she will do this on her own first," Char said bringing one of the guys wrist up to Jasmine's mouth. Nothing happened. "Come on Jasmine. I know you don't want to do this but these guys were going to rap a young girl," Char told her. Still nothing happened.

"Don't make us force feed you. We will if we have to," I told her. But she still didn't move. I was starting to think that she wasn't going to be able to feed. But then I got one of my feelings and knew what needed to be done. I grabbed the guys wrist form Chars hand and with my thumb nail cut through the guys skin bringing a nice stream of blood to the surface. I then brought his wrist back up to Jasmines mouth. She didn't move. So I gently pinched her nose closed. She instantly opened her mouth and the blood started to trickle into her mouth.

After that she didn't fight. She greedily sucked the blood into her mouth. She drained him in a matter of seconds. Once she was done her eyes flew open. They locked on mine. And I have to tell you for the first time in my life I was scared shitless. I mean I have seen some fucked up things in my time. But this was some scary shit. Her eyes turned form a crystal blue to ice cold steel.

She turned away from me and looked at the six remaining guys. Faster than I thought a human could move she already draining her second victim. Char and I didn't move or say a word. We were both shocked at what we were seeing. She moved from victim to victim. It only took her a minute to drain all of them. Once she was finished she pushed the last body away from her. She backed up against the brick was and pulled her legs into her chest.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry," she kept mumbling over and over again while rocking back and forth.

I looked to Char as to ask silently what to do. But she just looked at me with the same question. I slowly walked over to where Jasmine was curled into a ball. She tried to back away from me. But she wasn't able to. I slowly sat down in front of her. "Jasmine its okay. You didn't do anything wrong. You only did what was need for you to get better," I told her gently.

"No, no, no, no. I killed them. I killed them. I should have been stronger. I shouldn't have killed. I can't be that monster again," she sobbed.

"You aren't a monster," Char told her softly. Then she looked at me then back to Jasmine and said, "Jasmine by killing them you stopped them from raping that young girl and so many others. You didn't do anything wrong sugar."

"Char is right darlin you're not a monster. You could never be a monster. Now how do you feel?" I asked her.

She just looked at me and started shaking her head and again saying, "I can't be that monster again. I can't, I can't. I can't lose control not again. Not again."

"Sugar what are you talking about?" I asked her trying to sooth her at the same time.

She started rocking back and forth saying, "No, no, no, no. Not again. Can't do it again."

"Peter I think we should take her back. If she needs more we can get it for her later," Char said standing up.

"Sugar I am going to pick you up and carry you back to my house now. Is that okay darlin?" I asked her.

But all she kept saying was, "I can't be that monster again I can't." I took that as an okay. I took her in my arms and we headed back to the house. I didn't know what was going on and I had a feeling that once we got back and everyone saw how she was reacting to what she just did, the shit was going to hit the fan.

It didn't take us long to get back to the house. Once we hit our drive way and we were half way up it she said, "Can't face them. Can't I'm a monster. Can't face any of them. Let me down."

"Sugar they won't think any less of you for what you did. Bella and your friends told you that they wouldn't. What are you really worried about here?" I asked her as I started to put her on her feet.

"That I will kill them," she whispered as she turned her head away from me.

"Sugar we would never let that happen," Char tried to tell her.

"You don't know anything about me. You wouldn't be able to stop me if I went for them," she told both of us

I just looked at Char and low enough so that she wouldn't hear me I said, "Char why don't you go and get Jasper so that he can help calm her down." Char just nodded and head straight to the house.

"Won't work, won't work," Jasmine kept saying over and over again.

"What won't work?" I asked her. I was confused by what she was saying. There was no way that she could hear what I asked Char to do she was only a human after all. But then again humans shouldn't be able to do what she just did to those seven humans.

It wasn't but a few seconds till Jasper was by my side with Bella. I just looked at him like 'WTF'. All he did was shrug his shoulders at me. And then looked at Jasmine.

Jasmine POV

Once we left Peter and Char's house and head towards town I could feel myself getting weaker. I knew that I had to feed off of a human in order to gain my strength but I couldn't turn into that killer again. And I didn't know how I would be able to stop once I started.

Yes I can drink from humans without killing them. I have done it twice. But ever other time I have had human blood I've killed them. Granted when I killed them I was in a blind rage of anger and hate but that is no excuse. For what I did. I never wanted to be that monster again. That is why I only feed from animals. I knew I would never lose myself. That I would never become a heartless monster that way.

So when we came across those seven guys in the ally I thought I could just take a little from each of them. That I wouldn't kill them. Even though they deserved death for what they were going to do to that poor girl. I am not sorry that I killed them. The world is better off without them. But I could feel that darker side of me trying to get free.

I could feel the monster inside of me wanting to be let lose. But I knew I couldn't let it out. I had no enemies here. Sure I'd let go and let it take over when I Killed that cunt Maria. But it was either her life or mine. And with everything that she has done I do not regret taking her out of this world. Just like I won't regret killing Ka when I see him again. And I will have no problems in letting it out again to kill Victoria. But if I can't get control over it now then I could end up hurting someone I care about.

I could hurt the ones that are trying to help us. Or worst of all I could hurt Bella, Ben, or Angela. And I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I was the one to hurt any of them. I know that they said they would never look at me like I was a monster but they had no clue about what could happen.

When we got back to the house and Peter told Char to get Jasper. I didn't need any of my gifts to know what he was thinking. Jasper's gift wouldn't work on me. Not when I was losing control like this. All it would do is piss me off and I would try to attack him. I couldn't let Jasper get close to me right now. I couldn't live with myself if I ended up hurting him. So I just said, "Won't work, won't work," over and over again.

"What won't work?" Peter asked. I could feel that he was confused by what I was saying. There was no way that if I was human I should have been able to hear what he asked Char to do. But then again humans shouldn't be able to do what I just did to those seven humans. He should know that something wasn't right in thinking that I was only human.

It wasn't but a few seconds till Jasper was by Peter's side with Bella. Peter just looked at him like 'WTF' and I couldn't help but think the same thing. All Jasper did was shrug his shoulders at him. And then looked at me. But before he could say anything Bella said, "Jasmine you didn't feed enough."

"How the fuck do you know that?" Peter asked her thoroughly confused now.

"I just know alright," Bella said not really answering his question. But I caught her thoughts.

"No, No, No, Bella don't even think about doing that. I don't have enough control right now to do that. I will kill you," I said as I tried to back away from all three of them.

"You really don't have a fucking chose. Since dip shit over here didn't do what he was supposed to do," Bella huffed at me.

"I can hunt normally now. I will not take form you or the others. Bella you don't know what you're asking me to do. You don't understand what I am trying to fight right now," I whimpered at the end.

"I know exactly what you are trying to fight and so does Angela and Ben. Remember we know each other better than anything. And you know that animal blood won't help you right now," she said trying to make me see reason. But I couldn't let her do what she wanted to do. I couldn't risk her life.

"Bella think about what you are saying right now. How will your mate feel if I kill you. Animal blood will be fine. I will just have to take it easy for a few more days. But I will be fine. How can you ask me take this risk when you know that if I lose control I kill both of us," I tell her hoping that she will listen to me.

"Jasmine Evangeline Annabelle Whitlock you will listen to me right the fuck now. We don't have time for you to fight me on this. You have to be a hundred percent if we are going to make it through this. Now I know you don't want to turn into that heartless monster again. But you have to trust me. And since I don't have a mate then it really doesn't matter what he would think. Besides I know you won't kill me I trust you," she said as she tried to step close to me.

I could see the confused look on both Jasper and Peter's faces as Bella said my full name. Yeah if I were them I would be confused to. Peter's last name is Whitlock because that is Jasper's last name. So yeah now they both want answers. Bella turned to both of them and just said, "Peter go back to the house and get Angela and Ben out here now."

"What?" both Jasper and Peter asked at the same time.

"Just do it," she yelled at him.

"Look I don't know what you have planed but she just took down seven guys…." Peter was saying but Bella cut him off.

"And that wasn't enough. She needs more. Just listen to what I am saying and trust that I know what I am talking about. If you can't do it then Jasper will you go do it?"

"Isabella Marie Swan I will not drink form the three of you and that is final," I yelled at her.

She just yelled right back, "Yes you will." And with that said she took the pocket knife out and had it opened and to her wrist before anyone could stop her. Not only did she cut her right wrist but also her left forearm and palm. Right then I knew what she was doing.

Jasper and Peter both stopped breathing. She placed her right wrist up to my mouth. And then she awkwardly grabbed my left arm with hers. She placed her open cut on her palm to the one on my forearm which made me place the open cut on my palm to the one on her forearm. I then brought my right wrist up to her mouth.

This wasn't unheard of. It was a way for a human to willing give blood to a vampire. I mean yea it wouldn't work with Jasper or any of the others since they really don't have blood but venom. But with me and a few others that I have meet over the years it does. It showed that the human was putting their trust in the vampire. And I know that Bella picked this out of my head and that is how she knew how to do it. But I also didn't know if I would be able to stop.

She was right I did need more blood. But I wasn't sure if I could do this without killing her in the process. But then again that was why I was giving her some of my blood. It would help to keep her alive. The magic that flowed through me would be transferred to her while her body was recovering. But if I couldn't stop then it really wouldn't matter.

I don't know if either of them left to get Ben and Angela. But in my head Bella just said, I know you can stop when you need to. You have to trust yourself. Just like we trust you.

Jasmine you're going to need more then what Bella can give you. So take it from me as well. You have done everything to keep us safe so let us help you, Angela said.

Ben chimed in with, You know we need you to be a hundred percent and this is the only way to do it. So don't fight us on this little sis. And besides you have a group of stunned vampires that we are all going to have to deal with.

Guys I can't, was all I could say. I could feel the monster inside trying to claw its way to the surface. And I was trying everything I could to keep it a bay. But I was starting to lose the fight and was scared at what would happen if I did.

But before I could get away from them I felt Angela's left wrist at my mouth and her right arm grasping my left like Bella's had only this time it wasn't as awkward because it was how it was supposed to be. Just like shaking someone's hand. I tried to concentrate on what I was doing that way I didn't take too much blood. But with feeling everyone's emotions and hearing all of their thoughts it was starting to get even harder to fight the monster inside.

I could hear the others talking around us. "What the hell is going on?" Garrett asked.

"Just stop trying to figure this out right now," Bella told everyone. I knew that Ben was trying to seal her wounds but was having a hard time because she wouldn't stand still.

Bella you have stand still long enough for Ben to seal the wounds. Either that or ask one of the vamps to seal them. You need to stop the blood flowing out of you or we are going to have a bigger problem here, I hissed at her.

"Right sorry Jasmine," Bella said out loud. Then I heard her ask, "Jasper can you seal these three cuts with your venom?"

"What?" all of them asked her at the same time.

"Look you and Peter saw what happened when I cut myself. You saw the same exact cuts appear on Jasmine. If I can't get the cuts sealed then she will be affected by it. So Jasper can you seal the cuts or not?" she asked him.

"Alright, but you are going to have to explain all of this," Jasper said shakily to her.

"We will but first we need to take care of Jasmine," Ben said. Then he went on to add, "Okay when Angela pulls away from her someone needs to seal her wounds. And then when I pull away someone needs to do the same to me."

No one said anything, but I felt Angela pull away from me. And I was panting for breath as I tried to get better control over the situation. Ben was in front of me and he quickly asked, "Jazz you okay?"

"No," was all I was able to get out.

"Jazz you are stronger than this. I know you can fight it. You know that we trust you completely. No matter what happens that is never going to change. You got to trust in yourself. Now take what you need," Ben told me. He placed his uncut left wrist in front of my mouth. He moved so that he was behind me and pulled me into his arms with my back to his chest.

Bella cut his right palm and forearm and he clasped it with my left forearm and palm. Bella then lifted my right wrist to his mouth. I leaned into his chest and was able to relax. He was calm as I took the blood that I needed. I could feel his trust and love for me as well. And that helped. I closed my eyes trying to concentrated just on how he was feeling.

I felt Angela and Bella sit in front of us and then place one hand on each side of my face. I felt their calm, trust and love as well. I was able to lock the monster inside of me away for a little longer. But I knew that I wouldn't be able to deny it much longer. I would have to let out my anger and frustration but I would not do that around them.

"Jasper what is going on?" Kate asked him.

"I don't know but my gift isn't working on her. But now she is calming down. I have no clue how though," Jasper told her.

Bella you have to tell him that his gift won't work on me right now. And tell him how I am calming down, I tell her.

"Are you sure?" she asks me out loud.

Yes, was my response to her.

"Jasper your gift can't work on her right now. There is nothing wrong with your gift. Her emotions are just too strong so an empath trying to change them just won't work on another empath is all. The way that she is able to calm herself down now is because she can feel our calm, trust, and love for her," Bella tells Jasper as she keeps her hand on my face.

"What do you mean on another empath?" Peter asked.

"Look this will be easier to explain once she is okay. But by now you guys have to realize that she isn't a normal human. Jasper you knew that before you left. She even told you she was more than a human. So just trust me on this right now," Bella said pleading with all of them to just leave it alone for now.

With those words said Ben pulled away from me. And Angela tried to pull me into her arms. But as soon as Ben had moved away I moved out of both hers and Bella's reach.

"Jasmine what's wrong?" Angela asked.

"Still not in complete control. Got to get away," I told her.

"Jasmine you don't know the area. One of them will have to go with you," Ben said as he tried to step closer to me.

"Not a smart idea," was all I said.

"What is she talking about?" Irina said.

"Jasmine then uproot a few trees but we are not letting you go anywhere on your own. At least not right now. You need to trust us. You don't want to become that monster again, but you know that is exactly what will happen if you leave on your own," Bella calmly said to me.

She was right but the anger and the frustration was starting to get the better of me. I could feel the elements start to swirl around inside me. "Bella I don't want to hurt any of you," I yelled at her.

"You won't. And besides we all know that show and tell is better than just sitting down and trying to explain all of this shit to them. So let go and show them. You know that would be a hell of a lot easier, and it will help you get back in control. You are stronger then you have ever given yourself credit," Bella told me as she motioned for Angela and Ben to move away from me. She was right show and tell was an easier way of telling everyone. And I knew that if I told them about what I could do they wouldn't believe me unless I showed them.

Jasper POV

When Char came rushing into the house saying that Peter needed me to help him with Jasmine I was worried. I could feel the worry and sadness coming off of her. But as I got up to head to where Peter was Bella was getting up as well. I just looked at her. And I had to ask, "What the hell do you think you are doing Bella?"

"Jasper I know her better than any of you. I am coming with you," was all she had to say.

"No you are not," I told her sternly. I don't know why I was feeling so protective of Bella. Or why I had a feeling like she was only going to get hurt if she came with me.

"We don't have time to argue about this Jasper. She is my sister and she needs my help. You can either take me with you or I will just wait until you leave and then be right on your heals," she told me with a determination I never knew she had.

Going against my better judgment I agreed to let her come with me. As soon as we were out the door I had her on my back and we were heading up the driveway to where Peter and Jasmine were. As soon as I came to a stop Bella was off my back and at my side. I was not prepared for what I saw. Jasmine was sitting on the ground with her knees up to her chest and her arms wrapped around her legs. Just saying, "Won't work, won't work," over and over again.

"What won't work?" Peter asked. I could tell he was confused by what she was saying and so was I.

Peter just looked at me like 'WTF' when he saw Bella with me but all I could do was shrug my shoulders at him. And then looked at Jasmine. But before I could say anything Bella said, "Jasmine you didn't' feed enough."

"How the fuck do you know that?" Peter asked her thoroughly confused now just as much as I was.

"I just know alright," Bella said not really answering his question.

"No, No, No, Bella don't even think about doing that. I don't have enough control and I will kill you," Jasmine said as she tried to back away from all of us.

"You really don't have a fucking chose. Since dip shit over here didn't do what he was supposed to do," Bella huffed at her.

"I can hunt normally now. I will not take form you or the others. Bella you don't know what you are asking me to do. You don't understand what I am trying to fight right now," Jasmine whimpered at the end. I could feel the struggle that was going on with her emotions.

"I know exactly what you are trying to fight and so does Angela and Ben. Remember we know each other better than anything. And you know that animal blood won't help you right now," Bella said. I was still trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

"Bella think about what you are saying right now. How will your mate feel if I kill you." Wait Bella had someone. I don't know why that bothered me so much. But I saw red at those words. But I was brought out of my anger haze when Jasmine went on to say, "Animal blood will be fine. I will just have to take it easy for a few more days. But I will be fine." I could feel Jasmines hope at Bella dropping whatever she was planning on doing.

"Jasmine Evangeline Annabelle Whitlock you will listen to me right the fuck now." That through me for a loop. Did Bella just say that Whitlock was Jasmines last name. I had to look over to Peter to see if I heard that right. But Peter had the same shocked looked on his face that I am sure I had on mine. I did hear her right. Bella went on to say, "We do not have time for you to fight me on this. You have to be a hundred percent if we are going to make it through this. Now I know you don't want to turn into that heartless monster again. But you have to trust me. And since I don't have a mate then it really doesn't matter what he would think, besides you won't kill me." Bella tried to step close to her. I was relived in hearing that Bella didn't have a mate but I'm not sure why I felt such anger at the thought of anyone with Bella. I mean when she was with Edward sure I wasn't happy about it. But I never felt angry that he was with her.

I was definitely going to have to ask Jasmine about her family history now. But now was not the time for that. Bella turned to look at Peter and myself and just said, "Peter go back to the house and get Angela and Ben out here now."

"What?" both of us asked at the same time.

"Just do it," she yelled at him.

"Look I don't know what you have planed but she just took down seven guys…." Peter was saying but Bella cut him off.

"And that wasn't enough. She needs more. Just listen to what I am saying and trust that I know what I am talking about. If you can't do it then Jasper will you go do it?"

Before I could say anything Jasmine was yelling, "Isabella Marie Swan I will not drink form the three of you and that is final."

Bella just yelled right back, "Yes you will." And with that said she took a pocket knife out and had it opened and to her wrist before anyone could stop her. Not only did she cut her right wrist but also her left forearm and palm.

Peter and I both stopped breathing. We just watched as she placed her right wrist up to Jasmine's mouth. And then she awkwardly grabbed Jasmine's left arm with hers. Bella placed her open cut on her palm to the open cut on Jasmine's forearm which made Jasmine place the open cut on her palm to the one on Bella's forearm. Jasmine then brought her right wrist up to Bella's mouth. I never even saw Bella make the cuts on Jasmine's arms so I had no idea how they got there. But they were there.

Peter and I were both stuck in place. So when the others showed up we just looked at them in shock. Everyone but Angela and Ben looked at us like 'What the hell.' there was nothing that we could say to them because we weren't even sure about what was going on. And we had been standing here the entire time.

Bella pulled away from Jasmine. But before Jasmine could get away from where she was Angela's left wrist was at her mouth and her right arm grasping Jasmine's left like Bella's had only this time it didn't look as awkward. It looked just like shaking someone's hand. I tried to concentrate on sending Jasmine as much clam as I could. But every time I tried it would just bounce right off of her.

"What the hell is going on?" Garrett asked. I was able to since his confusion at what was going on. And I had to agree with him.

"Just stop trying to figure this out right now," Bella told all of us. Ben was trying to seal her wounds but was having a hard time because she wouldn't stand still.

Out of nowhere Bella said, "Right sorry Jasmine." Then Bella turned to me and ask, "Jasper can you seal these three cuts with your venom?"

"What?" all of us vampires asked her at the same time.

"Look you and Peter saw what happened when I cut myself. You saw the same exact cuts appear on Jasmine. If I can't get the cuts sealed then she will be affected by it. So Jasper can you seal the cuts or not?" she asked me. Okay will that sort of explained how Jasmine got those cut marks but I still didn't understand it.

I know I wasn't thirsty so I would have no problem in sealing those three cuts but I was still worried that I might lose control. All of a sudden I felt a little burst of confidence and in a shaky voice I said, "Alright, but you are going to have to explain all of this." I walked over to Bella and sealed her three wounds.

"We will but first we need to take care of Jasmine," Ben said. Then he went on to add, "Okay when Angela pulls away from her someone needs to seal her wounds. And then when I pull away someone needs to do the same to me."

No one said anything. When Angela pulled away from Jasmine. Peter walked over to her and sealed her wounds. We could all hear that Jasmine was panting for breath. I could tell that she was trying to get better control over the situation. Ben was in front of her and he quickly asked, "Jazz you okay?"

"No," was all she was able to get out.

"Jazz you are stronger than this. I know you can fight it. You know that we trust you completely. No matter what happens that is never going to change. You got to trust in yourself. Now take what you need," Ben told her. He placed his uncut left wrist in front of her mouth. He moved behind her and pulled her into his arms with her back to his chest.

I couldn't figure out why he was doing this. How was she supposed to get any blood if he didn't make a cut so that she could get to the blood. I mean for us it wouldn't matter. We would just bite into the flash but Jasmine wasn't able to do that. But I was wrong. Once his wrist was in front of her mouth her eyes changed from the crystal blue to a steely bluish silver and she bit down on his wrist. And started sucking greedily.

Bella cut his right palm and forearm and he clasped it with her left forearm and palm just like Bella and Angela had done before. Bella then lifted Jasmines right wrist to Ben's mouth. Jasmine leaned into Ben's chest and was able to relax. He was calm as she took the blood that she needed. I could feel his trust and love for her as well. And I could tell that it helped her. Jasmine had closed her eyes it looked like she was trying to concentrate just on how he was feeling. But that didn't make any since to me.

Then Angela and Bella sat in front of both of them and then placed one hand on each side of her face. I felt their calm, trust and love as well. Jasmine was able to relax a little bit more, but I could still feel her anger and frustration. And no matter what I tried to do my power wasn't able to help her at all. It just bounced right off of her. I didn't understand how she was able to block me but it seemed like she was able to pull in all of the calm trust and love that Bella, Angela and Ben were pushing towards her.

"Jasper what is going on?" Kate asked me.

"I don't know but my gift isn't working on her. But now she is calming. But I have no clue how though," I told her honestly.

"Are you sure?" Bella asked. But who she was talking to I had no clue. I didn't hear anyone say anything to her.

But the next thing I know Bella is looking at me and saying, "Jasper your gift can't work on her right now. There is nothing wrong with your gift. Her emotions are just too strong so an empath trying to change them just won't work on another empath is all. The way that she is able to calm herself right now is because she can feel our calm, trust, and love for her,"

"What do you mean on another empath?" Peter asked.

"Look this will be easier to explain once she is okay. But by now you guys have to realize that she isn't a normal human. Jasper you knew that before you left. She even told you she was more than a human. So just trust me on this right now," Bella said pleading with all of us to just leave it alone for now.

With those words said Ben pulled away from her. Char was at his side sealing the two cuts and puncture marks from where Jasmine had bitten him. Angela tried to pull her into her arms. But as soon as Ben had moved away she moved out of both hers and Bella's reach.

"Jasmine what's wrong?" Angela asked.

"Still not in complete control. Got to get away," she told her.

"Jasmine you don't know the area. One of them will have to go with you," Ben said as he tried to step closer to her.

"Not a smart idea," was all she said. I couldn't figure her out. She was calm the entire time that she was around them three but once she moved away she was back to fighting what seemed to be like an inner demon.

Before I could ask what she was talking about Irina asked, "What is she talking about?"

But no one answered Irina's question Bella very calmly just said, "Jasmine then uproot a few trees but we are not letting you go anywhere on your own. At least not right now. You need to trust us. You don't want to become that monster again, but you know that is exactly what will happen if you leave on your own."

I could feel her struggling with her emotions but she just yelled, "Bella I don't want to hurt any of you."

"You won't. And besides we all know that show and tell is better than just sitting down and trying to explain all of this shit to them. So let go and show them. You know that would be a hell of a lot easier, and it will help you get back in control. You are stronger then you have ever given yourself credit," Bella told her as she motioned for Angela and Ben to move away from Jasmine.

They moved back to stand next to her and didn't say a word. They turned towards us. And just looked right at all of our faces. I didn't know if I should be looking at Jasmine or the other three. But all of a sudden my attention was focused on Jasmine when a huge gust of wind blew right in front of all of us basically turning us to face her.

And when we did it was a sight. Her arms were cased in a light fire. Garrett went to run towards her but Ben yelled, "Don't she is letting go of everything. If you go to her right now you will get hurt. Fire is a death sentence for you. She is fine."

"How the hell is she not screaming in pain?" Garrett yelled back to him.

"Like the wind we are feeling right now she is controlling it. Just pay attention to everything that is going on around you right now," Bella said like it was so obvious.

We looked back to Jasmine and on top of the wind blowing around us and the fire lining her arms the earth started to move. Right between our little group and Bella's; the earth sunk lower down. Laurent yelled over to them and asked, "Is she doing that?"

All three of them just smiled and nodded their heads 'yes'. It wasn't long until we all felt a fluttering inside of all of us. And all seven of us gasped. Char yelled, "What the hell was that?"

"It was her calling to your spirit. It feels strange the first time but you'll get us to it," Angela said with a small smile on her face. What was she talking about? It was Jasmine calling to our sprit. That couldn't be right could it?

We all looked over to where Jasmine was standing but this time she wasn't there. But instead was a large black panther. I looked at the panther and then back to Bella. The others had to be doing the same thing because I felt all of their shock along with mine. The panther walked slowly over to Bella, Angela and Ben. When it reached them it just stared.

"Is that Jasmine?" Kate asked completely confused.

"Yes," all three of them answered with the panther nodding its head in agreement.

"How the hell is this even possible?" Laurent asked.

"Magic," all three of them answered and then laughed.

"What is so funny?" I asked feeling their amusement at the situation.

"Its just that is the same question that was asked by the pack when Jasmine was telling all of us her story and about what she could do. she gave the same answer and they had the same facial expression that you guys have right now at our answer," Angela said. She then looked at Jasmine and asked, "Do you feel better?"

I had no clue how she was expecting to get an answer from her in this form. Right now it would be nice to have Edward but then I remembered that he wasn't able to get inside of Jasmine's head either. So we have no way of talking to her in her current form. Angela just looked at me and then back to Jasmine and she said, "Okay. Peter since you live here will you go for a run with her. She is still not completely in control yet. And Jasper we still have a way to talk to her even like this. Yes Fuckward could not hear her thoughts. She can hear all of ours though, but she cast a spell so that us four could talk to each other without others hearing. So we can still all talk to her and hear her answers." She then looked at Peter and asked, "Now Peter do you mind going on a run with her?"

Peter slowly walked over to them and looked back at us and said, "Why don't you guys go back inside. Laurent when I said you were going to have an interesting problem I had no clue it would be anything like this." Then he looked at Jasmine and said, "Okay let's go for that run, but I think you might get control faster if you up rooted a few trees like Bella suggested."

Bella gave a small laugh and then said, "No that really wouldn't help her. She says that if she is going to do something like that she needs something that will fight back."

"Jasmine you know you can always spar with one of us," Ben said to her.

All three of them just shook their heads at her. Char asked, "What did she say?"

"That with everything still going on, she needs something not so breakable right now. But once she gets control again we will go back to sparing with each other. Oh Jasper since you are worrying about all of this right now, she thinks you should go along with them also. And here bring this backpack with you guys," Ben said. Tossing me the back pack.

Bella added, "We'll all go inside and wait for you guys to get back. This time make sure that her emotions are under control. Jasper you can still feel her emotions you just can't manipulate them right now. So you will know when everything is okay."

With that said Bella and her friends started to head back to the house. The others just looked at Peter and me. We both just nodded to them and they followed Bella back to the house. We heard Bella and Angela laugh. And then Ben said, "You guys really need to trust us on this right now."

Peter looked at me then and said, "Okay so how did you not know any of this shit before tonight?"

"I never spent any time around Jasmine. Only the night of Bella's party after I tried to kill her. And then right before I left. You're the one that told me I should trust her. Or did you forget that little phone call?" I questioned him.

"Wait hold on this is the girl?" Peter asked me really confused now. And at this Jasmine hit me in the back with her tail. That hurt like a mother fucker.

"What the hell was that for?" I asked her. She sent me a huge wave of annoyance.

Peter looked at me and said, "Well we kinda did forget that she was waiting for us." Then he looked at her and added, "I'm sorry but we are just trying to wrap our heads around this. But let's go before she tries to hit me with her tail."

"Oh no if anyone deserves to get hit its you. Jasmine why the fuck did you hit me and not this fucker?" I asked her. She looked at me and then at Peter. I then realized why she hit me. I was closer to her. But she sent me a wave a mischief and I just nodded my head at her. Then I looked at Peter and said, "Okay fucker lead the way."

With that we all took off towards the woods. Jasmine stayed in-between us. We ran about five miles into the woods, when Jasmine just stopped. Peter and I had to turn around because we didn't notice at first that she wasn't with us anymore. When we got back to where she was back in her human form. She had on nothing but a sports bra and boy short underwear.

"Well you guys really don't pay attention to what is around you when you run. I really don't see how the hell you two are still around. And Char you might as well come out from where you are," Jasmine tells us in a clam voice.

"Women what the fuck are you talking about Char went back into the house with the others," Peter said to her. And as he finished what he was saying Char came out from behind some trees.

"How did you know I was back there, when these two didn't even know?" Char asked her.

"That question has a complicated answer. But you will get that answer a long with everyone else. But I do have something that I need to tell you three. And then you can decided whether everyone else knows or not. And by that I mean Bella, Angela, and Ben," Jasmine tells us.

I just look at her and ask, "What are talking about?"

Jasmine looks at me and says, "When Bella said my full name I saw the reaction the two of you had," she then looks at Peter and says, "Yes Peter that is my last name. No Bella doesn't know and neither do Angela and Ben. But they will know as soon as we get back because I am going to tell them. Plus when they hear your last name Peter they will put it together. And they would be wrong. I know all about your guys past. And that is what you need to decided about if they find out or not."

"What are you talking about? What is your last name?" Char asked looking at Jasmine in confusion.

"Whitlock," was all that Jasmine said.

"How is that possible?" I asked her. My older brother died in the war and all that was left was my younger sister. The name died with me.

"When you left to join the war Major, your mom was pregnant. She had a son. So you also had a little brother," I was getting ready to say something but she held up her hand stopping me, "Please just let me talk," I nodded to her and she continued, "His name was Jason. He stayed in the house that you grew up in. When he fell in love it wasn't with just any girl. She was a witch. And he didn't find out until after they were married. And they had three sons. So your family name continued throughout the years. Every generation had sons but mine. My dad was an only child. And when he met my mom he used to tell me it was love at first sight.

"But you see my mom had a secret of her own. And like his family hers never told until after they were bound to each other. So now you have a witch who married a shape shifter. Bella, Angela and Ben know this part but not that I am of you blood line Jasper. I needed to tell you first before I could tell anyone else."

"Wait your saying that we are family?" I questioned her.

"Yes. And trust me we are more alike than you think Major," is all she tells me.

"Why do you keep calling him Major?" Peter asked her. It was a good question. It was what she called me the first night that I talked to her. But I never asked why. She couldn't possible know. Could she?

"Because this is the part that is up to you guys on if you tell the others. I know everything about your past with Maria," she stats bluntly.

All three of us growl at that name. I looked at her and hissed out, "What the fuck do you know about that?"

"That she turned you Major. That she had you train her newborns. That you fucked her every chance you got. You're the one that changed Peter and Char. You were responsible for destroying newborns when they were no longer of any use to her. Peter here helped you out. You two would rap and then feed from the female humans. Sometimes Maria would starve you to make you fight harder for her.

"Peter tried to stop you from killing some of the newborns. And when you were supposed to kill Char here he told her to run and he followed after her. But you let them go. And that night Maria punished you for disobeying a direct order. None of you are ashamed of your scars. And you shouldn't be you all survived through hell and are stronger because of it," she gave a small laugh at this. And then shook her head. And looked down at her feet.

When she looked back up at us she said, "But you also should know that that Bitch is no longer walking this Earth. And neither are any of her newborns or any of the ones that lasted longer than their first year."

"How do you know that?" Char said in shock at this news.

"Because she messed with the wrong person. She was a greedy Bitch. And that greed blinded her. And it made her weak," Jasmine told her.

"I'd loved to shake the hand of the guy who finally offed the Bitch," Peter said in awe.

Jasmine laughed at him and just said, "Well Peter it wasn't a guy who did it." I felt a wave of anger and then mischief from her. I looked at her a little closer and saw that she wasn't telling us something.

"Jasmine how do you know all of this? You sound like you were there when all of this happened," I asked her.

"Oh, I was there. Since you left her she had been looking for someone like you. Someone to train her newborns and make sure that she would win. I was on the run with my aunt. When she found me. She knew that I was a Whitlock. At the time my aunt had been trying to comfort me. She felt what I could do. And because of that she killed my aunt without a second thought. And she brought me back to her camp.

"She thought that since I was a human that I was weak. She was wrong. She went to bite me. And I dodged her. She was pissed. And started to send newborns at me. I took them down with no problems. And then she started to send some of the ones that had been with her longer. They were a little harder but I killed them as well.

"Never even had to use any of my other gifts on them….other than the one she knew about. Once I took away everything that she had she was pissed. I used all of her anger against her. She thought she had me when she bit me. And that was her mistake. She turned her back on me. And I lit her ass on fire. As she burned I lit the rest of the bodies that laid on the ground around me.

"She had humans there that were in the middle of the change. In my anger I killed all of them. There were twenty of them. And I just lit them on fire without a second thought. I made sure that they were all dead. I was so lost in my rage that I didn't even notice I was thirsty until," she sent out a huge wave of sadness that brought all three of us to our knees.

She looked at all of us and said, "Sorry. But I hate what I did. Bella and the others don't know this part. Only that I lost control and I never want to be that person again. But what I did is so much worse than anything the three of you ever did while you were with Maria. I killed truly innocent people."

"What do you mean you killed truly innocent people?" Peter asked.

"What is the worst thing your kind can do?" was all she asked.

"You killed children?" Char gasped.

She looked at Char and said, "Not just children but babies. After that I promised myself I would never take a human life again. And I hadn't until tonight. I know those guys were rapist. And I don't regret taking them out of this world. But I could feel that side of me trying to come back out. I am still fighting it."

"You said your aunt was with you. But what about the rest of your family?" I asked her. I knew that when she came to Forks that she was alone.

"They are all dead because of me," she said with no emotion at all.

"Now what do you mean by that sugar," Peter asked her.

She looked at Peter and said, "Because they were trying to protect me and make sure that I got to Bella they are dead. You guys can see the scars that cover every inch of my body. Some of them are from what has happened in my life and some are from what has happened in Bella's but these serve as a reminder for what my family sacrificed for me. They trained me to be a fighter so that I would be able to do everything that was needed of me. But the one thing they could never prepare me for was watching them be murdered."

I could feel her anger rising inside of her. I just looked at her and said, "Jasmine you need to calm down. We all know what it is like to feel like a monster. And we all know what a struggle it is to stay in control and make sure that side of you never comes out. But Bella, Angela, and Ben were right about one thing. You are stronger then you give yourself credit for. You were fighting your control when you started to feed form Bella but you were able to stop and you did it again when you feed form Angela and then again from Ben.

"They are connected to you in a way that I have never seen. Jasmine you have helped me as well. That night when I tried to kill Bella. You were the one who had faith in me when my family didn't. You told me what was going to happen. And that Bella didn't blame me. I never would have went and told Bella good bye had you not encouraged it. I see now that if I hadn't gone and told her bye like I did. I would have been punched for more then not telling her that the family was also leaving."

"By the way how the hell was that human able to hit him like that and not scream in pain?" Peter asked baffled by that. I have to admit I felt the same way.

"That's easy I trained all of them the same way that my family trained me. Ben felt the pain of his hand braking when he punched you but he knows how to manage his pain. Bella and Angela can do the same," she told us. Then she looked at me and said, "Hand me my back pack," she reached out her hand for me to give her the bag.

"What going to put on some cloths now sugar?" Peter asked.

"No fucker I need to let off some steam. And now you're the one that volunteered for that job," she told him with a smirk on her face and mischief rolling off of her.

"Why me?" He asked confused.

"Because I hit Jasper with my tail earlier. And if you had done what you were supposed to I wouldn't have had to feed off of Bella, Angela, and Ben," she said as she pulled the same things that Bella, Angela and Ben had pulled out of their bags. She did the same thing as they did. She placed the holster on her right thigh and then walked away from her bag.

Peter looked at me and then at Jasmine. Jasmine still had that smirk on her face. I know that she isn't a human but I still don't think that in a fight with any of us. She would be able to win. But when she was telling us that she killed Maria I could hear and feel the truth coming from her. But I still couldn't believe that she killed her.

"Jasper if you don't believe me then when we get back to the house make a few phone calls and see if what I told you checks out. And Peter stop being such a pussy. I know that is not how you were trained," she said. At her last statement Char laughed.

Peter looked over at Char and said, "Women you're supposed to be on your husband's side."

"Sorry Peter it looks like she knows who would win this fight. And the fact that you don't want to step up is just proving that you're scared. But then again you can always prove me wrong and show me just what it is you can do. Then again I don't think you remember how to really fight," she tells him. From her emotions I can tell that she is just bating him. That she knows that he remembers everything he was taught.

But that was the last straw for Peter. He just looked at Jasmine and said, "Little girl you have no idea what you are asking for right now. I don't give a shit what your powers are. There is no chance that you will beat me in a fight."

"Really? Would care to make a little bet then?" she asked.

"What do you have in mind?" Peter asks her. His curiosity was getting the better of him.

Jasmine just looked at him and said, "If I win you have to submit to me. Whatever I say goes. If I tell you to do something you do it with no questions asked."

Peter gave a small laugh to that and then said, "Alright and what happens if I win?"

"I will submit to you. You have my word as a Whitlock," she stated.

"Peter," I hissed at him. There was no way I could let this fight or bet happen. I know all too well what he would have her do if he won. And there was no way in HELL I would let him do that to any member of my family.

"What?" he asked looking at me.

"She is too confident in this decision. We have no idea on how she was trained to fight," was all I told him. Trying not to tell him my real reason for not wanting him to do this.

"Alright," he said to me. And then looked back to Jasmine and said, "You can't use any of your active gifts or shift into your other form." Shit this fucker wasn't listening to me. I looked at Jasmine hoping that she wouldn't agree to his new terms.

"Deal. Would you prefer I fight only with my hands or may I use these?" she asked taping the holster on her hip. Fuck, she really had no clue on what she was getting herself into. And I had no way of stopping this from happening.

"You may. I see no problem with that," was his reply to her question. She just nodded at him and with all of that said Peter started to stalk towards her.
