Disclaimer: I don't own twilight [Disclaimed]

I'll remind you guys again that this is NOT a Jasper/Bella FF, if you're wondering why Jasper was so excited in that last chapter then read chapter 8 again.

Chapter 11

Jasper looked nervous as we approached the fringe of tree's surrounding the Cullen's house, my house. I could see every ray of light reflect off the leaves above, finding clear paths to shine through onto the minute gaps in the canopy onto ground below. I could see the darkness where the trees were thicker and denser, but I could also see beyond the darkness too. If I narrowed my eyes to a squint I could even see the faint light of where the forest ended near the main road. I could smell the scent of each tree as I flew past them; the smallest part of my brain assigned to the job of dodging them. Yes my speed was enhanced, but so was everything else, so this minute part of my consciousness easily handled its task. I could hear Jasper behind me, though it was not so much Jasper, but the noise he left behind that I heard. But the sound of the leaves he rustled with his movement stopped, and I realised he had too.

I didn't bother to ask why we were stood silently in the wood, instead allowing my curiosity to saturate my thoughts and tilted my head slightly to one side.

He looked awkward as he slowly opened his mouth, an expression I had never seen across the battle worn face of Jasper Whitlock. This worried me only slightly, but even this minute emotion was enhanced by my new mind and body, which instantly tensed into a rigid stance, hands balled.

He quickly looked apologetic

"O, don't worry" he begged

I let out a sigh of relief and my hands fell open to my sides.

"I'm sorry I haven't been here Bella"

He looked quite ashamed now as he spoke.

"Don't worry Jasper"

I came closer to him, hoping he'd understand me

"I understand how hard this is for you"

His face stiffened, and it reminded me of the many times I'd frustrated Edward with my 'obscure way of thinking'

"Only as hard as it's been for you, Bella. I lost nothing more or less than you, a lover and a sibling. Yet you did not run away, you were brave, braver than me"

He was right statistically, our losses had been identical, but I knew that everyone coped differently. And I was already master of pretending nothing was wrong.

"I'll never move on you know"

The way he spoke seemed more like Jasper was talking to himself, but his eyes continued to bore into mine.

"I'll never forgive them, or myself"

I thought I understood what he was saying. Jasper blamed me, but he didn't want to just say it.

"I'm sorry Jasper, but there really isn't anything we can do now"

"So you're saying they should get away with Edward and Alice's murder?"

His voice panged a loud note of pain on Alice's name

"No that's not what I'm saying at all Jasper, but we are just two people. We can do nothing against the Volturi, regardless of whether justice is on our side"

I saw his lips curve, light bouncing off his pearly whites. Maybe I'd been wrong about his motive for bringing me here.

"What if we could avenge them, if those fake knights were knocked from their steeds?"

My eyes narrowed

"An army of new born vampires, led by us"

My eyes that had been light, constricted were now snapped open in shocked disbelief.

Jasper could feel the horror of my thoughts and quickly protested.

"You are extremely powerful Bella, I'd bet even more than you realise"

This caught my attention and Jasper used my momentary distraction

"I'd bet you could project your mental shield to protect others Bella"

Hadn't this been just what I'd always desired, to protect others?

"Protect others?"

He nodded quickly

"Hundreds maybe, with the right training"

I had to admit this would help against the Volturi. From all I had heard their abilities seemed to be their best offence. Jane and Alec in particular, but I could cripple Jane, of that I was sure, would I be as lucky with Alec?

"My ability alone wouldn't win us the battle though"

Jasper seemed relieved at my acceptance of his idea, even if I was sceptical.

"This is why we bring the new borns. I have experience in this field Bella, I can train them to be deadly weapons, and we can defeat those who crushed our loved ones so unjustly"

I didn't reply, this seemed way too easy. How could we defeat the vampiric royalty who had defended their place for thousands of years?

"I plan to avenge them with or without you Bella. Indeed without you is a suicide mission, but one which I will indefinitely partake in. I plan to honour Alice and Edward, do you?"

My eyes, red and dangerous held onto the liquid topaz of his. The two smouldered endlessly as the light danced across them. His were pleading, begging me to risk my life for the ones we loved. This didn't seem such a big ask really.

I bit my lip and nodded, I would honour them too.

Well? Let me know your opinion etc etc PRETTY PLEASE. I know this one took an age but I keep forgetting, remind me with your lovely reviews.
