NEW AUTHOR'S NOTE: Okay, So I had to repost this chapter because I have some things that need to be said, but I don't like chapters that are only author's notes, and I am getting tired of answering some questions 1) if anyone wants to know why Bella doens't control the volturi to stop them hunting her, go to chapter 2 paragraphs 1 and 2...2) if anyone wants to know how Bella's power relates to her human life, go to the last paragraph of chapter 1...There are some things still missing from the plot, actually a lot of things, so they will be answered in due time. For instance, someone said that they thought Bella's power should have more weaknesses IT DOES! She just doesn't know it yet ;-) anyway I am sorry this isn't a new chapter, but there were some things that needed to be said. Also, I will be posting more often, and I have decided that the chapters will be about this length (your welcome BellissaAdreana :-D ) because when I posted this, it actually had more words than the last chapter, but when I saw the preview of it, it really wasn't as long as the other one regarding content :-D so they will be about this length. I will try to post again by the end of the weekend!

Previously:

I wouldn't let that happen. I wouldn't let them get hurt.

The Volturi would not come after my family.

One way or another I was going to stop it...even if it meant my own happiness.

This Time, Forever

JASPER'S POV!!!!!

I stepped over the threshold with Alice at my side. Though she was attempting to hide it, I could feel the pain she felt right now. Never try to hide feelings from an empath, it wouldn't work. It seemed that she still tried, though, for I could feel her desperation.

As we sat down, I kept my gaze focused on my beautiful pixie of a wife, her head resting on my shoulder. Right now, I had eyes for no one else, I only watched my Alice. I knew sometimes I overreacted, but that was just to be expected as she was my life, my everything.

When she noticed my gaze she rolled her eyes, "Really, Jazz, I am fine." She sighed, I knew she thought I worried about her too much, but I couldn't bear it if anything was to happen to her. Now I could feel her exasperation, she hated it when I became to protective, but I just couldn't help it.

Part of the overbearing feelings I had right now were because she had never gotten hurt before...ever. Her visions always alerted her to any danger before it came, therefore, she had never been injured. This battle was sort of a wake-up-call for me, of how easily I could loose her. No Jasper, don't think like that! I mentally scolded myself as the thoughts rang through my head.

For some reason, I couldn't shake the feeling that this was my fault. If only I had told her to stay behind, but of course Alice would never have agreed to that. What if something like this happened again? My thoughts were a never ending circle of dread, before Alice's voice made itself known again.

"You have nothing to worry about," she said, reassuring me. As she spoke, it seemed as if she knew exactly what I had been thinking and was in essence telling me that she was fine and would always be. Sometimes it seemed she knew me better than anyone. She always seemed to know what was on my mind, often I wondered if she was a mind reader, too.

I stared into her eyes and grabbed both of her hands with my own. I loved her so much, and by the feelings coming off of her in waves, I knew she did too.

Just then, I heard my sister speak, breaking me from my trance, "I am going hunting." After her statement, she walked quickly out of the door, not meeting anyone's eyes, and shut it stiffly behind her.

Oh, no. I knew that tone. That was the same tone she always used after something horrible had happened and she wanted time to think...and that never ended well. Often, when our human father had found a new suitor, Bella would often disappear for hours at a time. Usually, I would find her on our boulder, crying her eyes out. It was time like those I became very protective of my little sister, when she reminded me of how vulnerable she truly was. Her independence often would deceive me into believing she was much older than she truly was, but when I would find her on that rock by the streamit always reminded me of how she truly felt, especially when it involved our father.

Though she hated disrespecting our father, sometimes I wondered whether he truly ever understood his only daughter. He had always wanted her to marry a wealthy trader, and it just so happened traders always wanted to marry Bella. It was an unspoken agreement that the successful tradesmen all wanted money and by marrying into families with other wealthy traders, they were able to obtain more of it. Our father was no different

Bella, however, had always wanted to fall in love and get married, not be forced to marry a random suitor. I remembered one time, when Bella was around sixteen, and all week our father had welcomed many traders to dinner. It was one of the most profitable years that the men had seen in a long time, and many were very pleased with their profits.

I remember I had just come in from the farms, only a few of us worked them, for father's main income was the trade business. However, our family had inherited the farm because our mother had been an only child, and both her parents had died shortly after our parents had married.

It was during the middle of the week, and I had come home hoping to see Bella at the door like always..but she wasn't. To my dismay, I couldn't find her anywhere in the house. All throughout the halls I had yelled her name, but there was no sign of her. Only when I asked mother did I find any information, apparently Bella and father had been involved in an argument, and my little sister hadn't been seen in a few hours.

Fear twisted my heart when I had heard those words, for Bella was capable of very rash things sometimes. Immediately, I had checked the boulder, it was sort of like our own personal hide out, but especially Bella's. There I had found her, tears stained on her face and her dress, but of course her being Bella, she wouldn't care about the clothes.

She had hidden her face in my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around her until she stopped crying.

"Jasper," I remember her soft voice had spoken. "I'm leaving." She had told me. For a moment, I didn't really understand her.

"OK, lets go back to the house," I had replied, completely oblivious as to what she was actually saying.

"No, Jasper, I am leaving. For good. I am going to go to Aunt Maybell's for a while. I simply cannot marry the man father has chosen." Maybell was our father's sister, and the kindest, most understanding aunt on the planet. It seemed natural that Maybell would be her first choice.

"Bella, you can't leave." I had told her, softly. Though Maybell was great, it wouldn't be fair of her to keep Bella. And I told her that. Only after some coaxing did Bella decide to stay, but only if she didn't have to marry the particular man who father had told her she was to be wed to.

It had taken much arguing for my sister's sake, but I had also hated the man father had chosen. With great pain, finally, father had allowed Bella to choose who she would marry, like our mother had been able too. Though, I had recently found out he hadn't stuck to his side of the bargain.

Many afternoons later I had asked her why she had wanted to leave that day; her reply had stuck with me for over 200 years. "Because, Jasper, I was hurting father, mother, and most especially you by staying, and I couldn't agree with Father's plans. If Aunt Maybell would have taken me in, I would have gone in a second, because I would rather have been apart from you then cause you pain." Her voice had sounded so broken, at that point, it still tore at my heart to remember, but the last line would have caused me to cry had I still been able to, just at the memory. I had been in tears when I had heard it the first time.

"I love you more than I care for my own happiness." She had said.

My eyes looked up as I inhaled sharply. "Oh, no," I breathed. Quickly, I looked to the door to find my worst fear: Bella wasn't back yet. Edward's eyes met my own as he heard my thoughts, his eyes were wide as they mirrored my own. If Bella had thought she was hurting our family by staying here, then she would try to do the same thing as last time. I only hoped I could reach her before she left, this time, forever.
