Unfaithful

Chapter 12

[Marcus' POV]

What's his name? I asked once again. "Aaron" She answered me. "His full name is Aaron Jackson" Hmm. I don't know anybody named Aaron Jackson. "How did he die?" I wanted to know everything. "He got killed by werewolves while he was hunting alone"

"You love him?" I asked. She nodded. "So much, the moment I saw him, I felt a spark" I sighed. "I need to go now, I will check you later" I stood up and walked away.

[Ashley's POV]

I need to get out of here. I'm having a bad feeling that something's up. But how the hell do I get out of here? There's like a bunch of guards out there. I need help, but how do I get help? I don't know anybody… except the Cullens. Jasper Hale. He can help me. But how the hell do I contact him?

I need to escape. How about if I bust this window and run through the woods? Well, I don't have a choice. I don't want to become one of them. I know they will hunt me down, then so be it. I came here to commit suicide, not to join them.

If they think I'm wasting my life, it doesn't matter. What's the use of living if the one you love the most isn't with you. I looked at the window; it seems fragile enough to break. I maneuvered my position, and run towards the window. The moment I was out of the room, I saw the woods, I decided not to look back but I heard the loud shattering of the glass window. I ran as fast as I can go.

I really feel that someone is following me. I looked around me. No one was there; I'm in the middle of nowhere, trees everywhere. I continued my journey, but I don't know where to go, what if I go to the Cullens?

I still feel that I'm being followed. I walked slowly this time, I turned around. No one was there.

"Boo!" I heard somebody, it was behind me. I closed my eyes as I turned around. "Where do you think you're going?" He crossed his arms. "Who are you?" I looked at the tall, well-shaped man in front of me. "I came from the coven, where you broke the glass window, trying to escape even though you know that you'll get caught." How does he know such things?

"Who are you?" I asked him seriously. "The ever-trusted member of the Volturi, I'm Felix" Oh come on, seems like this day is the worst day ever. "So, you're going to bring me back there?" I sighed. I'm starting to hate this day. "No, I'm going to help you escape" Ok, way off the line, he's going to help me?

"Why do you want to help?" I asked him. "Uh, questions later, I need to get you out of here. They are searching for you" Damn it. What do they want from me? I'm not doing anything wrong, my abilities are pretty weak, and now they want me to join them. I don't get it.

"Come on" Then we ran as fast as we can go. I followed him in every direction, until we reached the end of the forest. "I can't go any further" He reached in his pocket. "Here, take it, go somewhere far from here" He handed me hundreds of dollars. I don't understand why he's helping me.

"No questions. Now, go, before they catch you" Felix told me. I went off, but nowhere to go.

[Felix's POV]

"No questions. Now, go, before they catch you" I told her. She must go somewhere else. She went off and I returned back to the woods. Halfway back to Volterra, Demetri, Jane and Alec found me. "Where do you think did she go?" Jane looked at me suspiciously. "I don't know, I have reached the end of this forest, yet I didn't see her" I explained.

"I see, we must go back and tell them" Jane told us. "What shall we tell them?" Alec asked. "We shall tell them that she has escaped" Jane suggested.

"Let's go back now" Demetri lead the way. What would they do if they found out? "Aren't you coming with us Felix?" I found myself just standing here. "Oh, right" I followed them.

^*^

"We are very sorry to inform you that Miss Ashley Jackson has escaped." I informed Aro, Marcus and Caius.

"Hmm" Aro looked at Marcus and Caius. "What shall we do?" I asked them. "Let's just leave her alone" Marcus suggested. "We don't need her abilities, and you're letting her stay, we should just let her go" Marcus explained. "What is your opinion Caius?"

"I have no opinion, I actually agree with Marcus, we don't need her here" Caius explained. "You may go now" Aro commanded us to go. We walked out. What a short conversation.

^*^

"Where do you think did she go?" Demetri asked me. "I don't know maybe somewhere far from here" Jane and Alec walked towards us. "Why do you think did she escape?" Jane asked us suspiciously. "We don't actually know the real reason" I answered. "Don't you think we should track her?" Alec suggested. "Marcus said we should leave her alone" Alec, Jane and Demetri nodded.

[Ashley's POV]

Where do I go? I must find someone, anyone. I ran off to another forest. I feel thirsty, I must go hunting. I looked keenly at my surroundings. I saw a lamb, I ran towards it but I unexpectedly bumped into another someone.

"I saw it first, it's mine" I told her. A girl with red eyes and brown or black hair looked at me. "I wasn't going to eat it anyway, I fed off on humans" She looked at me again. Her burgundy eyes were freakishly uncomfortable to look at.

"Well, sorry for being impolite, I'm Maria" She introduced herself. "I'm Ashley"

"Nice to meet you Ashley, I see you don't eat humans" She looked at my dark-golden eyes. "Where did you come from?" She asked me. "I escaped from somewhere" She walked slowly. "I came from Forks and I went to the Volturi to commit suicide, but instead, they wanted me to become one of them, so I escaped." I explained it thoroughly. "Oh, why?" She asked me. "I was guilty of what I did, and my mate died"

"So sorry to hear that your mate died, what did you do? Why are you guilty?" She's like a chatter box. Yet I still feel something inside of me that I shouldn't trust her. But, I want to tell her everything.

"Uh, I was caught making out with another vampire who has a mate" She looked shocked. "Wow, who was it?" Hmm, I think she doesn't know what privacy means. "Uh, his name is Jasper, her mate, Alice, caught us making out" I told her with some hesitation. "Jasper?" Her eyes widened. "Come on, I'll show you were I temporarily live right now" She lead me to a little log cabin in the middle of the forest. I entered the cabin; it was quite cozy as it looks like.

"Why don't you leave your things here for a while and go hunting?" Maria suggested. I emptied my pocket and left the items inside a drawer. "I'll be back" I told her. So I went off.

[Maria's POV]

Jasper Hale, I can't believe it. I can finally have my revenge for leaving me a long time ago. Now that I've found Ashley, I can track you easily. I walked towards the drawer where Ashley left her things. I saw some dollars, a ring, and a phone. Perfect, she has a phone. I searched up her contacts and found Jasper's name. He answered it, after a long, long time I finally heard his voice once again. I told him I needed help. My revenge is just beginning. I called him some more and begging for help.

I can hear Ashley from a far, she finished hunting. I put back the phone and acted calmly. "You're back, that was fast" I told her. "Yes, the lamb that I caught wasn't too good" She told me. "Why don't you continue your story a while back?" I asked her.

"Where does Jasper live?" I asked once again. "Oh, he lives in Forks, with his clan" She informed me. "Do you think we could go there?" I was hoping. I want to see him and seek revenge for leaving me alone.

"I don't know, maybe?" She hesitated. "Why do you want to visit him?" She asked. "I'm not going to visit him, I'm going to seek revenge Ashley" I told her without hesitation. Her eyes widened as I spoke. "What? I'm not going to help you with your revenge" She stood up I followed her. "Yes you will" I grabbed her neck and pinned her to the wall. "Is that clear?" I asked in a lovely voice. "No, kill me if you want but I'm not going to help you!" She said out loud.

"Help me or else" I threatened her. "Or what?" She raised her eyebrow. "I'm going to blame you, whatever will happen to Jasper and his family, you will shoulder the blame" I warned her. She nodded.

"Good" I smiled. "We are going to need some new born vampires, to help us" I told her. "What do you want me to do?" She asked me. "You stay here, I'll be back after 3 days with new born vampires" I glared at her. "Don't go anywhere Ashley" I warned her. "Read some books while I'm gone" And I went off. This will be easy.

^*^

[3 days later]

"Hey I'm back" I shouted out loud. Nobody answered. "She's gone!" I shouted. "Where would I go?" I heard somebody across the room. "Oh, there you are! I thought you went away!" I thought she went away. "So, did you get some new born vampires?" I nodded. "Just two"

"Can I see them?" Ashley asked. "They're outside, well, news around the town is spreading, a lot of killings are happening" I informed her. "And pretty much, it's our fault" I told her.

"So when do you plan to see Jasper?" She asked me. "I don't know, right now?" I answered. I'm itching to seek revenge. "I want to see them, the new born vampires" She stood up and went outside. A tall, handsome man and a beautiful looking lady stood in front of Ashley. "Who are they?" Ashley whispered.

"Vincent and Beatriz" I told her. "They were in a relationship before they were changed. I don't know if they remember" I told her. "I found them walking alone in a small, dark street" I explained further.

"This is Ashley" I introduced Ashley to them. "piacere di conoscerti" Vincent spoke. "Oh, they're Italian, but they speak English too" I told Ashley.

"How long do you think will we get to Forks by foot?" I asked Ashley. "Why don't we just ride a plane?" She suggested. "Are you nuts? We're going to kill everyone inside the plane" I told her.

"You're telling me we're going to go there by foot?" I nodded. "It will take us two or three days" I told her. "This is going to be a pain" I heard her utter. "Well, if we want to get there sooner or later, we should start going" Vincent suggested.

"Ok, let's go! I'm really itching to get there already" I said happily.

[Time jump] ^*^ [3 days later]

"We're here" Ashley finally gave a loud sigh. "I really hate traveling you know" She complained. "Oh come on, we're here already, stop complaining." I told her. "I need you to call them here. I want my revenge to happen here" I told Ashley. "This is going to be perfect" I smiled.

"You want me to call them?!" I heard Ashley complain. "Yes, just tell them you need help and bring them here, easy as pie" I told her. She nodded. "Remember you're part of this coven already" I glared at her. "Fine" I heard her say. Then she headed towards the house.

[Ashley's POV]

I'm so regretting this. I looked at the big house. I feel so guilty right now. I was just a few meters away from the door. If I don't do it, my life is going to be hell. I knocked at the door.

"I'll get it!" I heard a female voice from inside. "Yes?" I looked up and it was Alice. Her eyes were shocked. "Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Edward, Bella, Carlisle, Esme, there's someone here" She called all her family members. They came rushing to the door.

"What do you want?" Jasper asked me coldly. "I need your help" I told them. "You're the caller!" The big guy boomed out. What caller? I wasn't calling anybody. "I really need your help, please follow me" Without hesitation, they all followed me. We reached our destination. I stopped.

[Jasper's POV]

"So, now what?" I asked her. "Very good Ashley, you did a great job" I heard a familiar voice. The voice that has been very disturbing for the past century, the voice I would never want to hear again. It's my worst nightmare. Maria.

"Jasper, Jasper, Jasper" She came towards us with two other members. "What do you want?" We growled. "I've been alone for so long since you left me… pretty sad" She pouted like a young child. We lined up as a family, protecting one another. I held Alice; she's not going to hurt her, over my dead body.

"Don't hurt anyone Maria" I warned her. "Well, I will do anything just to seek my revenge" I was confused. "Why the hell do you want revenge??" I asked her. "You left me alone Jasper, I changed you into the freaking monster you are now and you left me!" She blurted out. "It wasn't my fault you changed me and you were going to kill me so I went away far from you!" My temper was already boiling.

"Fine! Blame it all on me! But you're going to regret it!" She shouted. "Carlisle, maybe you should go, along with the whole family, this is my fight, not yours, and you might get involved." I whispered to Carlisle.

"No Jasper, whatever this issue is, we will fight with you." Carlisle supported me. "Jasper" I heard Edward whisper. "I read Maria's mind, they're planning to kill… Alice too" They are not going to kill Alice. They must pass through me before they touch her! I can't lose her again. I need to protect her.

"So Jasper, what are you planning to do?" Maria asked me. "Looks like this is the last fight of your life" She laughed out loud. "I have two new born vampires here, looks like this fight is going to be over as soon as I kill you." Then suddenly two vampires appeared behind her.

"Come on Jasper, this will not be easy" I looked at Alice. She looked at me. I ran towards Maria. All of them followed me. The new born guy vampire attacked Carlisle and Emmett. The girl ran towards Alice.

"Alice watch out!" I shouted. Maria attacked me. She held my neck and threw me against the tree. Then she attacked Alice. "Alice!" I ran towards her but the new born vampire pulled me. He tightened his grip on my neck, and threw me against the tree again. He rushed towards me then he crushed my face against the tree. I grabbed his neck and held him up high. "You're attacking the wrong person" Then I threw him up and kicked him against the tree.

I glanced where Alice is. She was helping Emmett and Edward kill the other new born vampire. I wonder where Maria is. She wasn't there. "Looking for someone?" I turned around and Maria was there. "Jasper!" Alice shouted. She ran towards me. The new born guy ran towards Alice, but she didn't notice.

"Alice look out!" But it was too late. I can't loosen Maria's grip on my neck. "Alice!!" I shouted. "Somebody help her! Please!" I shouted.

"What can you do now?" Maria laughed. "Alice" I loudly sighed.
