I stood there staring for a few seconds too long and Charlotte had to shake me to bring me back. "Peter where is he?" I asked. He just pointed and I took off running in that direction. It was when I got close when I realized where I was headed. The meadow, our meadow, her meadow my mind corrected maliciously. Edward had given Bella our meadow and yet claimed he loved me. I pushed myself faster as I heard the fighting. I barreled through the trees and knocked Jasper off of Edward.
His eyes were fully black without any white visible whatsoever. He threw me into the forest and I hit a tree hard. I heard Edward cry out as Jasper attacked again. I got up and ran back. Edward was struggling to get free of Jasper's hold and Bella was screaming for him to stop hurting him. My body reacted on instinct and I followed with it. I flipped over Jasper, grabbing him around the neck and throwing him as far as I could. I landed in a squatting position next to Edward. Jasper came back and I knew I would have to continue to fight if I wanted to protect Edward.
"Peter what is happening?" I asked as Jasper grabbed me around the neck and slammed me to the ground. I kicked hard but he barely moved a few inches. "I don't know. He shouldn't be able to do this to you." Peter said. Jasper picked me up and slammed me again. I felt the cracks splinter my face and tried to recover as he attacked Edward again. He ripped his arm off and I almost gagged at the smell of his venom. I tackled Jasper and my head snapped back as he punched me viciously. I punched back and tried to get my arms around his to hold him.
He kicked me and set me flying to the trees again. "Fuck!" I spit when I hit a tree for a second time. I knew I had to stop Jasper and protect Edward but every part of me was screaming to let Jasper kill him for what he had done. I ran back and watched as Jasper clawed deep gauges into Edward's face. I heard Bella talking to someone but her words did not register in my mind. I grabbed Jasper around the arms and fell backwards as he struggled against me. I wasn't as strong as him but I knew I only needed to hold him for a few seconds before Peter would help. Except peter didn't help, he stood back and watched as Jasper flipped us over and slammed me face into the ground.
"Peter I need your help." I screamed. "I can't Gwen. My knower says that's a bad idea. You're on your own." He said. I growled hard and pushed myself off the ground. I had tried everything I could think of and it was working. I grabbed jasper one last time and made him face me. "Jasper please stop. You're going to kill him and you're hurting me. Please?" I begged softly. I saw something click in his eyes and watched as they faded back to their beautiful golden color. "Gwen?" he asked. "Yes, it's me. I'm here." I said softly. He hugged me hard and held me there for a few seconds. "We have a problem." Charlotte said and we followed her gaze to Bella who was trying to help Edward.
"What are you talking about Char?" I asked. "She called your father. He and the others are on their way here." She said. Peter grimaced and I knew something bad was going to happen. "How do we stop it? Peter, how do we change this?" I asked. "I'm not Alice. If I know it, it's going to happen. It's set already. There is no changing it." He all but growled at me. "We are so screwed." Charlotte breathed and I growled as I looked into the forest. I wouldn't allow my mate to be taken from me a second time. I just wouldn't allow it.
