I awoke to the sound of my cell phone vibrating on the wooden stand next to me. I groaned and threw it across the room. There was a crash and I looked over to see that it had hit a lamp and shattered. I groaned but I didn't care. I felt like crap. Part of it might be because Jasper wasn't in bed with me, but the time on the alarm clock begged to differ. 6:30 am. With a sigh I got up out of bed. It was way too early to get up, but I had to clean that glass and the bits of my phone up. After I disposed of the evidence, I got dressed and set out to find Jasper. It didn't take long. I found him in the sitting room talking to Peter and Char in a serious tone. I walked in slowly and Peter looked up and smiled at me. Char and Jasper stopped talking. Uh oh. This was not good. "Hey Darlin'. You're up early." Jasper said without turning to look at me. "What's going on?" I asked, walking to his side. Jasper locked eyes with Peter and they seemed to be having some kind of silent conversation. Peter took his eyes away from jasper and looked at me. "Bella, there is something coming. And if we stay here we could risk the whole town being destroyed. Char and I own a property up in Alaska, it is very secluded. We think it is best we go there until this blows over." I glanced at Jasper, who was still not looking at me. In the short time that I had been here I had learned not to disagree with peter, as he was rarely ever wrong.

"Okay. When do we leave?" "As soon as we can." Peter responded. "I will go pack my things. Jasper? Will you come with me?" he nodded and followed me to our room. As soon as we were both inside, I closed the door and turned to face Jasper. "Jasper?" he was looking around the room, anywhere but at me. A thousand thoughts ran through my mind. Was he mad at me? Had I done something to displease him? Was he going to leave me? I could feel the tears well up in my eyes. I tried to will them away but they spilled as I spoke my next words. "Jasper I don't know what I did wrong, but please don't leave me. Just tell me what I did and I will fix it. Please, please stay with me." I was sobbing hard by the end as I looked down. My fear and worry washed over me making my knees buckle. But before I could hit the floor a pair of cold strong arms wrapped around me, lifting me up and carrying me to the bed. He sat down so that I was sitting sideways on his lap. He tilted my chin up to meet his eyes. "Bella, I am not mad at you. You did nothing wrong." He smiled. "And whether you like it or not, you're stuck with me. I'm not going anywhere. I love you" he brought his lips lightly down to mine in a soft kiss. The tears had stopped flowing, but I was still confused. Sensing my emotions Jasper raised an eyebrow. "Is there something you would like to say darlin'?" I nodded. "Why wouldn't you look at me, or talk to me earlier?" Jasper cast his eyes down momentarily, before returning back to my eyes. "Whatever is coming, it is strong. I want to protect you, but I don't know if I can. I don't know if I'm strong enough." I took his face in both of my hands. "Jasper, you are the strongest person I know. If anyone could protect me it would be you." He brought his lips down to mine again, but this time the kiss was not at all gentle. His hand started wandering across my body, and just as he reached the waist line of my pants, we were interrupted. "You two can fuck all you want once we get to the cabin! Hurry up and pack!" Peter yelled from downstairs. I sighed and slid off of jasper. "Hey, Bella what happened to my lamp?" "Common, peter said we have to hurry." I smiled and begun packing

I thought Jasper drove fast, but Peter was much worse. Normally it would take 2-3 days to get there, but with peter's driving we got there at about 12:30 am the next day. I had slept in the car so I felt well rested by the time we arrived. Jasper helped me carry my suitcases into the small cabin. There were two bedrooms so jasper and I picked the one that was across from the bathroom. I put my suitcase down on the bed and opened up the front zipper to pull out my phone. Then I remembered that I had smashed it into a thousand tiny pieces the day before. "Jasper?" I didn't have to raise my voice. I knew he would hear me. His arms wrapped around my waist as he kissed my neck, sending shivers up and down my spine. "Umm I was wondering if I could use your phone?" he handed out his blackberry to me, but as I reached for it he pulled it back. I raised an eyebrow at him. "What happened to your phone?" I blushed and looked down. "I threw it at the lamp." I looked up to see him looking at me confused. "It woke me up." He smiled his lazy smile. "So that's what happened to my lamp." I blushed and looked down. "Yeah sorry about that" "its fine darlin'" he kissed my cheek and left me to make my call.

I quickly punched in jakes familiar number and pressed the talk button. He answered on the first ring. "Listen you bloodsucker, we had an agreement-" "whoa there Jake. Hello to you two." I cut him off. "Bella!" Jake yelled. I winced and pulled the phone away from my ear. "Bella, where have you been? I have been trying to call you for the past two days!" "Sorry Jake I broke my phone." "Why didn't you call me sooner? I missed you." I paused. "Bella?" with a sigh I explained about peter's power and how he said it would be best if we left town until this was over. "Bella I'm coming up with you." I froze. I'm pretty sure that Jasper would get over it eventually, but I had no idea how Peter and Char would react to Jake. And Jake didn't know about their diet. "Jake you can't. This is Peter and Char's house. And they don't live off of animals like Jasper does." "What? You mean that they feed from humans? Bella how could you put yourself in danger like that? What if you get hurt?" "Jake it's not like that; they don't just kill any human they find. They only hunt the lowest humans you could possible imagine. Rapist, murders, drug dealers." "So you're saying its okay for them to do that? Bella what is wrong with you?" I was about to reply when the other line of the phone went dead. He hung up on me. Jerk. I thought as I walked out to the hall where jasper was waiting, just like I knew he would be. "I don't like the way he spoke to you." I just raised my eyebrows, keeping my eyes on his boots. "He said he is coming here. Stupid mutt." I looked up into his pitch black eyes and carefully put a hand on his cheek, making him look at me. I stretched up so I could kiss him softly. "You should hunt before he gets here. I know you're calmer after you have eaten." I caressed his cheek softly. "I don't want to leave you." His voice was quiet as he wrapped his arms around me pulling me close. I rested my head against his chest. I was tired after all. "Peter and Char will be here with me. And I think I am going to take a nap." He rested his cheek on my head. "I will stay with you until you fall asleep. He picked me up and carried me to our bed, placing me in the middle and spooning up behind me. Jasper nuzzled my neck and started humming an unfamiliar tune. I smiled as unconsciousness surrounded me in a peaceful blanket.

I listened to Bella's calm, even heartbeat for a few moments before kissing her shoulder and quietly walking out the door. I nodded at peter and left the house. Once my feet hit the snow I took off at a sprint, so I would not fall in. I quickly found the scent of a grizzly bear and followed it. I stopped a few feet away from my prey, crouching down low ready to spring. I uncoiled my body as I leapt forward, only to be knocked aside by a fast hard object. I rolled and sprung back to my feet, snarling at the intruder. My body was prepared to spring, but then I recognized who I was getting ready to attack. "Emmett you dumb fuck! What the hell were you thinking? I could have killed you!" he let out a laugh. "Like you could!" now it was my turn to laugh. I dropped down into a playful crouch and ran at Emmett, pinning him. He struggled for a minute and was able to get an arm out and flip me off of him. I moved to the side quickly so that he couldn't get his arms around me. I ran at him, but he was anticipating that move and he ducked. I used my momentum to roll and jump back to my feet, narrowly step siding Emmett's next advance. After a couple of minutes of playing around I decided to end it. I grabbed Emmett in a headlock and forced him to his knees. "I win." I declared releasing Emmett from my hold. He got up and rubbed his neck where a temporary mark was forming from where I had held him in my grip. "Wimp." I smirked at him. He narrowed his eyes at me. And looked around. "Looks like we chased off breakfast." "You mean you chased of my breakfast." "No way mine I was here first. That bear was mine." "I beat you. I get the bear." Without skipping a beat I took a deep breath and bolted after the scent of the bear, Emmett right behind me. I reached the bear first, and without stopping I tackled it in one fluid motion. I heard a growl behind me as I succumbed to my senses. I quickly snapped the bear's neck and turned around to the vampire that dared challenge me for my meal. He crouched down, his eyes as black as mine. He snarled and ran towards me, I jumped and he grabbed the bear and sunk his razor sharp teeth into the soft flesh of my kill's neck. I roared in rage as I landed on my feet, pushing him aside and biting into the thick fur of the bear and letting the warm blood gush down my throat. But all too soon the other vampire was back on his feet charging at me. He knocked me down and tried pinning me but I was faster than him. I quickly got to my feet and let out a warning growl, dropping to a defensive stance in front of my kill. The other vampire did not back off but as I took a step forward, I could sense the blood beginning to slow from my kill. The red haze slowly lifted as the blood of the dead bear cooled, no longer smelling appealing. I came down from my hunting induced high quick enough to dodge a blow from Emmett, who in return crashed into a nearby tree. I watched as he slowly stood up and shook the snow from his hair like a dog. He turned to face me, his eyes no longer pitch black, but instead a rich gold. I rolled my eyes at him. "One of these days, I'm going to end up ripping one of your limbs off… or worse" he laughed. "That's part of the fun isn't it? Living on the edge." I shook my head at him "speaking of living on the edge, where's Rose?" he looked over his shoulder just as Rosalie walked into the clearing. How could I not have sensed her there? I must be getting old. "That was quite a show you two put on there." she smiled as I walked up and gave her a hug. We have always had a close bond. She released me then slapped me on my cheek. Hard. "Umm… ouch. What was that for?" I said putting my hand lightly on my cheek. That really stung. "That's for thinking you could just run away without telling us goodbye." "Rose I didn't run away-" she cut me off. "We know that. The little pixy told us about Victoria and Maria. And where here to tell you that you are not doing this alone. I and Emmett are going to be here for you." "But I wouldn't be alone. Peter and Charlotte are here with me." "And you think that's enough to stop whatever the hell is coming?" that was a blow to my ego, but I knew she was right. "I don't want you guys getting hurt." I looked at rose first, then at Emmett. "listen bro, I know that you want to think that you will be strong enough to handle whatever is coming, but I know that if anything ever happened to rose, then I would not stop at anything to make sure that whoever did it would pay." He wrapped his arms around rose. I knew they were right. This was a battle I could not fight on my own. I needed them. "Alright. Your right. I do need help with this. Bella Peter Char and I have a cabin up a little ways from here. You are more than welcome to stay there if you would like." I noticed Rose's displeasure when I mentioned Bella's name. "Alright, what are we waiting around here for let's go!" Emmett boomed, taking off in the direction that I had pointed. Rose and I followed, but went a little bit slower. "Rose, I know you don't like Bella. But I am asking you as you brother to try and be civil to her. Please." We slowed as we reached the porch, where we could already hear Emmett inside. She turned to me. "Jasper, it is no secret that I don't like her. But you have been more like a brother to me than Edward ever could. I owe it to you to try and act civil around her. I will try my best, but no promises." I nodded. It was better than nothing. Just as we were about to go inside, there was a loud crash and a series of snarls coming from behind the door. "What the hell?" rose said as we ran inside, gasping at the scene before us.
