The other Cullens exchanged looks between me and Jasper, nervous about what was about to happen. I stood up. Jasper's eyes never left mine.
"We need to talk" I said.
"Not here" he said and I realised he didn't want his family overhearing.
"Take her to Redson Creek" suggested Emmett. Everyone turned to look at him.
"It's just a suggestion" he said defending himself.
"I'm not carrying her" Jasper said. My heart sunk. This was going to be just as hard, as I thought it would be. He no longer wanted to risk touching me.
"I'll take her" said Edward as he turned to me and I saw the look in his eyes. He was hoping I would be able to convince Jasper to stay. It was a lot of responsibility to carry, as I realised he was relying on me. I knew that if Jasper left, I would not only be losing the love of my life but Edward would be losing his brother.
Edward picked me up and soon we were off. I found the journey more terrifying this time. I didn't trust Edward as much as I trusted Jasper. We soon reached Redson Creek. It seemed such a long time ago, when I had to hike to here to find the Cullens in order to help Bella. Edward left wordlessly. Jasper and I were now alone. I approached Jasper but he backed up.
"Please don't shut me out Jasper" I said.
"I only agreed to talk with you, because I think you deserve to hear it from me. I'm leaving Forks. I don't know where I'm going to go. But I'm leaving. I'm too much of a danger to you" he said, ignoring my previous words.
"Jasper. You've never once hurt me. You stopped. Remember! You stopped. You didn't hurt me" I said, trying to make him understand.
"But I could of. I have the potential " he replied.
"But every person has the potential to hurt me" I countered. Jasper looked as though he was examining me. I got the feeling that he was checking my feelings.
"See! You're scared. I can feel it" he said.
"I'm only scared because I know you're going to leave me" I said, bursting into tears. Jasper moved nearer to me as if to hold me, but suddenly stopped. He looked like he was in pain seeing me cry.
"This wouldn't work. What if the next time I'm unable to stop" he tried to explain.
"You've stopped once, you can do it again. I trust you" I said as I stopped my crying.
"You shouldn't" he replied.
"I should go" he added sadly.
"You can't just leave me here!" I said.
"You have your mobile, call Edward" he said. Well if that was his only argument! I gave an irritable sigh, took my mobile out of my back pocket and I chucked it as hard as I could. Straight into the creek. Jasper looked at me like I had gone crazy.
"I no longer have my mobile" I stated calmly.
"Jasper I love you. You're so afraid of hurting me. But don't you understand? If you leave, that's exactly what you'll be doing. Hurting me" I continued. I took a step forward, when this time he didn't back up, I took another one. Eventually I was stood in front of him. Jasper suddenly seemed surprised to find me so close. Tentatively I reached out and wrapped my arms around his shoulders. His arms instinctively made their way around my waist, but his grip was loose.
"Please don't leave me" I begged and I felt his grip on my waist tighten. There was silence again and we just stayed as we were for a while.
"You've always insisted that I'm no monster" Jasper said. I nodded, wondering where he was going with this.
"How do you know?" he asked. I pulled back slightly to look in his face.
"I can see it in your eyes" I said. Jasper looked slightly confused at my remark.
"Trust me it's there" I added.
"Besides a monster knows nothing else, but how to be a monster. Monster's can't change and they don't even want to. You want to change and you are" I whispered.
"Natalie, there really is no one like you in the world" Jasper whispered to me. He leant forward and kissed me. Relief spread through me and at that moment, I knew he was staying. I leaned forward asking for more and Jasper gladly complied.
After we spent half an hour just being together, we both realised that we needed to return. The Cullens were probably still worrying about us. Jasper gently picked me up in his arms, before running. This time I felt more safe, as it was Jasper who was carrying me.
We soon arrived back at the house. They must have heard us coming, as they were all stood outside waiting for us. They all looked nervous. I smiled at them, as Jasper gently set me on the ground.
"I'm staying" Jasper told them, as he looked at me fondly.
"Alright Brittannia!" exclaimed Emmett, as he punched the air. I shook my head at his antics.
Alice had chosen to throw a party that evening. Apparently it was to celebrate the fact me and Jasper were still together. In reality, I suspect she just wanted an excuse to have one. The party was going on inside the house, but I stood outside on the porch. Jasper stood behind me, holding me in his arms. I knew that we weren't out of trouble. Afterall according to Alice's vision I was going to become a vampire. I still didn't know what to think about that. An eternity with Jasper? Now that sounds like heaven. The bloodlust? Not so great. And we still don't know who it was who had originally sent the vampires after Bella. But I knew I would be fine. Afterall I had my guardian angel to look after me.
Jasper's POV
I once again held Natalie as she watched the stars. Once again she had refused to leave me. Edward was right, sometimes I really do underestimate her. I was grateful to Jack and Alice. They had killed the vampire, (we still hadn't found out his name) and Natalie was no longer in any immediate danger, which didn't mean I was no longer going to watch over her. On the contary, after this last week, I've deceided not to let her out of my sight for a second. No other vampire was ever going to get the chance to get his or her claws into her. I realised now, that she meant too much for me, for me to just let go. She made feel as though I could beat this monster. That perhaps after all of my years walking the earth, I had finally found my place and that was right by her side. I knew one day, Natalie would be a vampire too and she would experience the same bloodlust as me. And on that day, I would repay her. I would stay by her side and help her fight the same monster.
Third Person POV
Alice sat near window. She knew she should be enjoying the party, but she couldn't. She felt too worried. Looking out the window she saw Natalie encased Jasper's arms. Natalie and Jasper were perfect together, just as Alice forseen. Natalie had become part of the family now. Esme treated her like a second daughter, even Rosalie was warming up to her. But Natalie was now the cause of Alice's worry.
Why could see no longer see Natalie's future?
What could that mean?
Alice gave a shiver. She knew something was wrong. Something was in store for Natalie and apparently her gift was useless in helping her to figure out what that was.
Please review. Thanks again to all those who take the time to read this and a special thanks to those who take the time to review. I really do enjoy reading your comments. In answer to becki2810 I don't really have picture of Natalie to put up. Besides people have a different takes on her, and I didn't want to put a picture up and then have someone say: that's not at all how I imagined her. Take care!
