My new love is wonderful. He has been through a lot with me. I feel so much for him. Even though this is all a dream. No, not a dream, I seem to be rejecting reality. He is just too perfect for that. That's right, perfection. It defines him. It doesn't define me however.

Alec P.O.V
I've already taken care of the psychic. I walked down the castle's marble hallway. Jane was walking in my direction. I stopped and waited for her, she seemed to need to talk to me.
"Alec, how are you?" Jane asked me as we exchanged our usual greetings, a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm fine. Is there something you need to tell me?" I asked her. Jane nodded.
"Yes. Carlisle and Esme I think was her name wish to speak with you." Jane said. "Will you accept?"
"I guess. Can you watch over Bella tonight? I really want her to rest and she can't do that with all this Cullen scum everywhere." I said.
"Sure. I wanted to talk to her anyway. Demetri is worried." Jane said. I smiled.
"Oh, why is he worried?" I asked with a smirk.
"He loves her too, you know?" Jane said. I shrugged.
"Okay then. Arrivederci, I have to meet the Cullens." I told Jane.
"Bye!" Jane said. She trotted off to Bella's room. I mentally set course for the library. I ran there at full speed.
"You wanted to see me?" I asked them. I used all my self control to not make my eye twitch.
"Yes. So you are my daughter's mate?" Carlisle asked. What the hell? That was a stupid question.
"No shit, Sherlock. And, daughter? Who the fuck do you think you are? Why the hell would you let your 'child' run off and marry a lunatic?" I asked. My anger was bubbling up.
"She is our child. We are responsible for her."
"Get your ass to the present. Caius and Athenodora Volturi are her parents." I told them.
"Um well, Alec, you have no right to take Bella away from us! You could have just brought her and Edward home. WE, could have dealt with them." Carlisle said. Oh. My. Fucking. God. Someone needs to hold me back because I swear, I am going to kill someone here and their name begins with a C.
"Excuse me?"
"You have vampire hearing. I'm pretty sure you heard my husband." Esme said. She looked frightened. She should be.
"You're joking! You probably would have Edward tell you all what he was feeling and give him some stupid punishment and then he would go after Bella again. Everything bad happened to Bella on your watch. Ever since Bella got here, nothing bad has ever happened to her, except meeting me because instantly, I fell for her." I said. I stood up.
"I understand that but-!" Carlisle started.
"SHUDDUP!" I screamed and walked out. I turned the corner and saw the blonde boy.
"Alec." Jasper stated.
"Are you going to say some dumbass comment about how Bella should go back with you guys?" I asked, pure anger in my voice.
"No sir. I just wanted to say hi to my new brother." Jasper said.
"What?"
"I am staying here with Bella. I can't leave my sister behind. I will support any decision she makes. I asked Aro if I could join and he agreed. Emmett joined too." Jasper smirked. "Besides, I like you. I approve of you being my sister's mate."
"Thanks Jasper, and here I was thinking all the Cullens were bad." I admitted.
"I'm not a Cullen. I am a Whitlock. Major Jasper Whitlock." Jasper said.
"Major, as in the Major of the Vampire Wars?" I asked.
"Yeah. Aro was thrilled to have me here since I have a lot of skill and never, EVER lost a fight. I am now the head of the Volturi army." Jasper said. He was flowing with pride. "Now, let's just cut to the man hug and get this over with." I smirked and gave him the hug.
"You're that pixie, Alice's mate right?"
"No, we're not mates. I thought we were but Marcus proved that we aren't. Why?"
"We sort of had a nice discussion." I told him. I winked and he caught on.
"Oh, by all means, tell me what happened." Jasper said. I laughed and told him.
Bella P.O.V
I lied in bed. Of course I couldn't sleep. I kept tossing and turning. I heard the door open.
"Bella, you're still awake?" Jane asked.
"Yeah. I can't sleep." I sat up. Jane sat beside me.
"Yeah, I can tell. So, what happened today?" Jane asked.
"I don't even know, but I have to talk to Rosalie." I told her.
"Okay then, I'll take you to her." Jane grinned. I was carried bridal style by Jane as she followed Rose's scent to the bathroom.
"Rosalie, what did you mean earlier?" I asked her. She looked up in surprise. She was sitting on a stool while curling her hair.
"Pardon?"
"Rosalie, you know what I'm talking about. I just want you to be honest with me. Just tell me." I pleaded. Jane flanked my side. She sighed and put down her curling iron and spun in the stool.
"Bella, I never disliked you. I was annoyed that you fawned over Edward and never thought to ask about him. I knew he had a dark side Bella. It hurt that you never took my advice and left him while you had the change. I saw the signs. This happened before. Jasper and Emmett didn't know about it, but Edward had a false mate and he raped her as well. Her name was Jasmine. She became pregnant with a vampire fetus and refused to abort it. In the end, the fetus killed her from the inside. I understood why she cared for her baby and wanted to keep it. Hell, I admired her for it. but, I hated Edward for manipulating her into loving him." Rosalie told me. I was shocked.
"Can you…tell me about her?" I asked. I was curious about this Jasmine person.
"She was beautiful. She had bright, healthy green eyes and she had gorgeous, silky red hair. She was selfless and a very determined girl. She never did anything wrong. She knew of our secret, that we were vampires. But that dickhead had to go and screw everything up. It was heartbreaking. I saw her pain, her suffering and yet, she had a smile on her face until her last breath. She knew she couldn't bear it. She knew she would die, and yet, she wanted to keep her baby." Rosalie's eyes were glossed with her forever frozen tears. This time, Jane asked a question.
"What happened to the baby?" Jane asked. Her red eyes showed a lot of strong emotion.
"The fetus died as well. It wasn't strong enough to survive without its mother. The child was beautiful in its final hours. She had curly red hair and green eyes and do you know what Jasmine would have named her? Rebecca. She would have been Rebecca Anne Cullen or Brown." Rosalie was sobbing.
"That's terrible." I said.
"The terrible thing is that Edward played no role and didn't even care." Rosalie said. At this time, I was crying. Jane wrapped her arms around me. That was sad.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
I made my one made up character. It was the easiest way to explain Rosalie's tale about Edward. Jasmine will be important later. I hope I didn't ruin the story by adding her. Please forgive me, but please review.
Arrivederci,
Francillia
