Previously: (Jasper's POV)

"What if you bit her?" Another voice caught my attention. I turned and could see that Emmett's son, Mitchell, and Bella's daughter, Nessie, stood in the doorway. They were concerned about Jasmine as well since all the 'kids' had bonded really well since Jasmine returned.

"No." I disagreed quickly. I remembered the pain of my transformation all too well, and the pain of all the bite wounds I had received dealing with Maria's army and knew I would not ever put Jasmine through that pain.

"Why not?" Nessie questioned, her brown chocolate eyes wide with curiosity. Mitchell was also watching me, waiting for an explanation.

"I'm not putting her through that pain." I argued, shaking my head. "You wouldn't understand."

A look of recognition crossed Alice, Emmett, and Carlisle's faces. They all knew the pain that I was talking about. The fire coursing through your body, so unbearable that you wished a thousand times over to die, yet death would never come. The same firey pain that I felt a hundred times over as I was attacked by newborns, although those bites were not as unbearable as the initial transformation. I would not wish that pain on anyone else no matter how awful they were to me. I would not…could not…make my daughter endure that pain.

I crossed the small room to the windows placing one hand on the window pane, looking out into the moonlit forest surrounding our home, sighing. I was losing her, and I didn't know how to save her. I felt completely helpless.

What was I supposed to do now?

Chapter 10 - Pain.

Jasmine's POV

I turned to find my father standing slightly behind me. His eyes looked past me over my shoulder to watch Maria's retreating form disappear into the trees. As soon as she was out of sight, he turned to look at me, assessing my injuries.

"Jasmine, Are you ok?" he asked, his darkened eyes studying my wounds.

The truth was that I wasn't alright. Pain radiated from the bite wounds that I had received from Maria's teeth. It wasn't too bad, the pain was just a dull roar, but it was increasing with each passing minute. I didn't want to worry my father, so I lied.

"I'm alright. I've had worse." I joked, my darkened eyes scanning my own injuries with him.

He laughed slightly with me, his hands carefully examining each wound, being cautious as to not hurt me further. His eyes filled with worry. I could sense he was scared, and I tried to calm him. He smiled slightly, before meeting my gaze.

"We should get you back to Carlisle." He sighed.

I nodded, agreeing with him that Carlisle would know a lot better about the injuries Maria had given me, and truthfully, the pain was getting worse. I was afraid that the pain would be too much to bear, and I didn't want to cause him any unnecessary pain if it got out of hand, so together we began the long trek back home. It wasn't until a few minutes of half-walking, half-running, that he spoke again. "Thank you, Jasmine… for protecting me."

"You're welcome, dad. I couldn't not protect you." I replied, wrapping my uninjured arm around his waist, before puling apart and slapping his arm.

"Ow." he cried out in mock pain, "What did you do that for?"

"That…" I explained, "Is for not listening to me when I told you not to go talk to Maria!" A sheepish grin crossed his face, as I felt a small amount of guilt coming from him.

"Sorry. I'll remember to listen to you next time." He assured me, brushing his hair out of his face. As soon as the adrenaline wore off, I involuntary yawned, my tiredness finally catching up with me. "May I?" He asked, holding out his arms. I nodded and was whisked into Jasper's arms, bridal style. I huddled closer to his chest, drifting to sleep. The pain finally overtook me as he ran through the forest.

I could feel the wind brushing past us as I drifted off, my muscles relaxing against my will as the burning sensation covered my body. To everyone else it would appear as if I had just fallen asleep, but inside it felt like I was being burned alive. I could still hear what was going on around me, and I gradually heard the voices of my family getting louder.

"Carlisle, Please help her." I heard my father ask.

"Take her to my office." I heard Carlisle reply.

I was relieved that we were now home, and I knew Carlisle would take care of me. For a brief moment, all I could think about was the pain. It was getting to be unbearable. I tried to focus on something, anything other than the pain and I could feel the cold metal underneath my body. I felt a different touch trailing over my body from one side where I knew a bite mark was, to another.

It seemed like forever, but eventually I felt the cold metal disappear from under me and instead was replaced with soft cushion that only eased my pain slightly. A small whimper escaped my lips as the pain intensified further. I was sadly mistaken when I thought it could not get any worse. My mind searched for something to ease the pain and I tried to will myself to go to sleep. The pain was so intense that I could not sleep. Instead my mind was filled with horrifying vivid images. There was nothing I could do but to watch as they flooded my mind, every now and again a sob escaping my lips.

The burning seemed to last forever. I don't know how long I laid there, it could have been hours or days or weeks or months. I didn't feel any indication that the pain would cease and my mind screamed for someone to kill me just to make it stop. I tried to move my limbs, but unfortunately they wouldn't cooperate. I had no choice but to lay there unmoving.

I felt a familiar touch on the inside of my right arm and fought against the excruciating pain that came with it. It felt like my nerves were live wires. The pressure tightened slightly and I could no longer contain the scream that ripped its way out of my mouth. The second the scream left my mouth, the touch disappeared, a small whimper followed my scream.

"I'm so sorry, Jasmine." A rough voice called to me. I recognized that voice right away, and my heart broke as I thought of the pain that I was now causing him.

'I'm sorry, dad.' I thought. I tried to respond. The last thing I ever wanted to do was to put him through this pain. I wanted to comfort him. But I couldn't and another sob escaped my lips. I laid there for a while longer, not knowing if he had left or not, wondering when this burning was going to stop. After a while, I felt another touch, lighter, softer. It didn't hurt as much as the other touch had.

I felt someone hovering over me, and a slight breath on my neck.

"It will all be over soon." The velvety voice whispered to me. A few seconds later, I felt something pierce my neck and a hotter burning sensation spread throughout my body. It was much much hotter than what I had experienced with Maria's bites. A strangled scream ripped from my throat quietly as it burned.

I heard footsteps through the burning, and my fathers voice in my ear.

"Jasmine. Are you alright?" Jasper begged. I heard him, but didn't respond. I knew if I tried to speak I would scream again. Instead I whimpered softly. I didn't want to burn anymore. I was in enough pain as it was. My mind screamed to have them kill me. I didn't care anymore. After what seemed like forever, the pain began to fade into almost nothing. The voice was right. It was ending. A little while later the pain was almost nonexistent, and I could begin to move my fingers and toes. Eventually, I was able to open my eyes. I struggled into a sitting position as my eyes roamed around the room, and I realized that I was alone.

How long had I been out? What happened? I strained my ears and I could hear an argument from the other room. It sounded like there was an argument between Jasper and Carlisle. I could sense that Jasper was angry. What could have pissed him off so bad at grandpa? I pushed myself off the bed and carefully crossed the room. It felt like every limb weighed a thousand pounds and even the smallest movement made me tired. Peeking out of my bedroom door, I could see Mitchell and Renesmee standing in the hallway, their backs facing me. Just beyond them stood Jasper and Carlisle in Carlisle's study only a few feet separating them. My father's hands were clenched by his side, and he was really mad. I could feel his anger from where I currently was and knew I had to stop him before he did something stupid.

"It's been days, Carlisle!"

"I know." He sighed, "But I don't know what else to do. She just has to try and fight off whatever was in Maria's venom and hopefully she will be okay."

I could tell that my father didn't like that answer, and turned around to look out the windows, all eyes on him as he turned.

"She's dying, Carlisle." Jasper sighed, his anger somewhat under control. "I can feel it. There is so much pain…"

"I still think you should try and bite her." Nessie interjected. "If she's dying, than what harm will it do."

I had walked quietly up behind Mitchell and Nessie, peering over their shoulders at the interaction. Everyone oblivious to my presence.

"I can't." Jasper whispered, as Alice walked over to him comforting him.

"Nessie has a point. It's worth a try." Alice tried reassuring him. A few moments passed, my father gazing at my mother for a moment making a decision.

"Alright." He agreed, turning around and heading towards the door, still not knowing I was standing just behind Mitchell and Nessie in the middle of the hall. My strength was fading quickly and soon I would collapse from exhaustion, I only hoped that I would stand for a few moments longer.

Just as Jasper reached the doorway, his darkened eyes met my black ones and he stopped dead in his tracks.

"Jasmine?"

A/N: Oooo….a cliffy! Okay, If you don't know…Maria's venom was like poison killing Jasmine. Edward in turn bit Jasmine and his venom fought against Maria's venom and in turn curing Jasmine. She is not a 'turned' vampire. K? Any questions? Thanks!
