What happens when Bella befriends the new girl at school? And the Cullen's leave b/c of what happens at the b-day party? What happens when Bella finds out her new frined knew everything and never told her? Everything happens for a reason. OOC AU

13. Not what we thought

Peter POV

Okay I knew that Jasper was right. Just going and getting food for her and the others really wouldn't do much with getting on her good side. But I figured it was a good starting pointing. So while we waited to make sure that all of the humans were asleep. Not that we had to worry about their safety or anything like that.

The only thing that Jasper, Char, and I were worried about was Jasmine and Bella because they were sleeping outside. Okay I know the only thing that could happen to them is they get rained on. It's summer time and there are only two things that happen here in the summer. It gets really…..really…really fucking hot. And the other thing is the rain. You know the saying 'It's not the heat that will kill you it's the humidity,' they were talking 'bout Missouri.

I know that I'm a vampire and are skin is cold and all that, but I am telling you that during some parts of the day it is like I am sweating my ass off here. I mean I am form Texas and you would think that it's hot there but the weather there has nothing on the weather here. We never went from turning the AC on and then switching to heat and back to AC all in one day. The winters here aren't much better with the snow. It is almost like everything here just shouts down. No one gets out until the snow goes away. Which means we have a hard time getting out during the day without giving what we are away.

Okay anyways sorry about my little rant but really I don't know what Jasmine was thinking when she decided to sleep outside. And then for Bella to come out and lay right next to her; like it was no big deal just makes me wonder if their heads are on right. I have never really known girls to willing sleep outside. I mean most girls that I've meet their idea of camping out is going to a Holiday Inn and that is roughing it for them. I know that Char wouldn't be out here sleeping. Yea I know we don't sleep but still she wouldn't be staying outside like this.

Alright so this is going to sound creepy but Jasper and I just sat outside watching them sleep. Bella was curled up next to Jasmine and I could tell that she was trying to make sure that Jasmine wasn't going anywhere. I wondered what that was all about. But I couldn't ask Jasper because I knew he didn't know. I would just have to ask them once they wake up.

'Bout an hour after Bella came out Ben and Angela also joined them. So now all of the humans are outside while all of the vampires were inside the house. It's kinda funny. Bella is on Jasmines left and then on Jasmines right you have Angela and then Ben. Even Angela has a hold onto Jasmine. But it is Ben that is interesting in this little sleeping arrangement. One of his arms is under Angela but holding onto Jasmine and then his other arm is laying across Angela and Jasmine but holding onto Bella's shoulder. It is almost like he is trying to make sure that nothing happens to any of the girls.

I really want to know what is going on wit' these four. I mean they weren't really family. Yea I know neither are Jasper and I but we treat each other like family and we have each other's backs. But I have never seen that with any of the humans that I've run into. And I am not talking about the ones that I eat. I mean humans now a days. They only care about themselves. The values that we use to have when I was human aren't valued so much now.

I was brought out of my mussing when Jasper asked, "So when do you want to leave and go get what we need for them?"

"Jas its two in the morning, nothing is going to be open here. It's a small town. I mean if you want to go to Kansas City we can hit Wal-Mart because they're open 24/7," I told him.

"Well then I guess we should head to Kansas City and get what we need. We should tell the others that Rose and Em are on their way here," he said as he started to get up off of the ground.

"Where do you think you guys are going?" Garrett asked coming out the back door.

"Were just going to head into town to get food for 'em. We don't have anything here for 'em. Hey can you keep an eye on 'em while were gone?" Jasper asked him.

"Nope," was all that Garrett said.

"And why the fuck not?" I asked him.

He just looked at both of us and said, "Because I'm coming with you guys. Don't look at me like that….Jasmine knows a lot about me. And ever since what happened the first time we left her in the van…I need to find a way to make it up to her. I know that she doesn't blame…any of us for what happened but I still feel like I could have done something to prevent it from happening."

"Garrett stop beating yourself up for something that you had no way of stopping," Jasmine whispered.

We all looked over at her but she was still sound asleep. I looked at Jasper and he gave a small laugh and said, "She has a tendency to talk in her sleep. The first time that I saw her she was already asleep," both Garrett and I just looked at him like 'what the fuck'. He went on to say, "Emmet and I hadn't meet her yet. And Alice, Rose, and Bella had just got back from shopping with her. Alice and Rose were telling us about her and everything that she had been through. We wanted to see what she looked like. Especially since she said that Edward wasn't her type. So we went over to her place and just looked in her bedroom window. She was already asleep and well we were able to see her scars and….well she was haven' a dream. She started talking. Now I understand what some of what she said means. I still can't believe that she would do all of this on her own.

"I knew then that there was more to her story then what she was saying. I knew that those scars were not from a car accident. I just couldn't figure out how she could have gotten' them. I mean even looking at her now I can tell they are battle scars. But I never would have thought of her as a fighter. Not like us any ways. I mean think about it Peter she made you look like you've never fought a day in your life and she wasn't even using any of her gifts. Just think how she would be in a fight if she wasn't holding back."

"You're right she is a tough fighter. But I have a feeling that you will be the one to find out. She is bound and determined to have you submit to her. I mean I really don't see the Major submitting to anyone. You really never submitted to the bitch and she was ruthless. I don't see you submitting to your niece. So she must have something up her sleeves," I told him. I turned my head back towards the house and said, "Char can you come out here?"

Within a heart beat she was by my side along with Kate. "What is it?" she asked.

"Can you stay out here with 'em while the Major, Garrett and I make a run real fast?" I asked her.

"And just where are you guys going?" Kate asked looking straight at Garrett.

Garrett just looked at her and said, "To get some things that they will need. It shouldn't take us that long. We will be back before they even wake up."

"You three are going to go food shopping?" Char asked between giggles. She was fucking giggling at us.

"What's so funny about that Sugar?" I asked.

That was the wrong fucking thing to asked because she only started to laugh harder. Once she was finally able to stop laughing she said, "What's funny about that? Peter really. The last time any of us had to buy food was how long ago. None of you even know what is good any more. I really think you should just wait for one of them to wake up so that they could go with you."

"We want to have this done so that they will have something to eat as soon as they wake up. Char really it can't be that hard to buy human food. But we don't want to leave them out here all alone," Jasper told her.

"Major we'll stay out here with them. But answer me this...Major who are you really worried about?" Char asked.

"Char right now I am worried about all four of them. Angela and Ben have been given a lot to deal with in a short amount of time. Bella is living up to her danger magnet reputation and well Jasmine…..she is always the one looking out for everyone else. She and Bella really are a lot alike. They are both selfless. So Char you ask who am I worried about it is all of them," he told her but he never took his eyes off of Jasmine.

With that said we headed to my white F250 with an eight inch lift kit and full cab. The best thing about my truck is the height. When you look at it you think how the fuck do you get in it. Not really a problem for us vamps but for humans it would be. So the other perfect thing is the hideaway step. When you open your door a step pops out just for you. This will help the humans if they ever have to use my truck which I don't see happening any time soon. Inside of my truck is kick ass. Leather seats that are heated, not that I need that but it seemed like the smart thing to do. Xm radio and a navigation system.

Okay I know it's not really a practical modes of transportation because it is a gas guzzler and all that but it is what it is. I have a tone of cars but my truck is my baby. I love it, it doesn't matter to me how much gas costs to feel up my babies tank.

"How long of a drive do we have?" Garrett asked pulling me out of my mind babble.

"Well now while we are here I have to drive close to the speed limit small town and all…cops really don't have much to do. But once I get on 35 I can go a little faster. But with all the construction going on I can't go much faster than the limit. So we are looking at 45 min there and then 45min back." I told him keeping my eyes on the road even though I didn't have to.

"God did you have to pick a place any further away from the rest of civilization?" Garrett asked.

"Hey Fucker this place isn't like Denali or even Forks. The sun comes out every day. But pretending to be a framer lets us go out in the middle of the day and not be suspected. Long sleeve shirts, jeans, gloves and a hat are common out here. And plus I have never really had to go to the store so lay off," I huffed at him.

"He's just anxious to get back. But Garrett Peter is right. He never needed to worry about how close he lives to a store. And the store in town works just fine for us on a normal day. I mean we could have gone to the Wal-Mart in Cameron but you get some really interesting people there and we really don't need to draw more attention to us then we'll already have," Jasper told both of us.

"Well this trip is going to be interesting no matter where we go. None of us really even know what the fuck we really need to get. I mean Major did you ever go shopping for Bella at any time when she was around?" I asked.

"No I was always told to stay away from her because of my control issues. Well okay it was really only Edward trying to keep me away from Bella. No one else really seemed to have a problem with me being around her only him," he said looking out the passenger window.

"Well I guess we know why now. But that really doesn't make any since to me. I mean right after he left her and came up to Denali he hooked up with Tanya. So he couldn't really have cared about her. So I wonder why he was really trying to keep her away from you," Garrett said.

I looked at him and just said, "Yea I mean I can see that you two are meant for each other. Jasmine has said it outright and Char can see it in your auras. He had to have known."

"I don't know if he knew. But I can tell you that Edward did have feelings for Bella. He did love her. So I really don't know what to think about all of this. I mean I know your telling me the truth about him being with Tanya. And Jasmine is ready to kill him on site for what he did. But I just can't see Edward being a jackass to Bella. But then again I know he can be," Jasper said to both of us.

"Well I can tell you that you will want to kill him on site once Bella tells all of us her story. And plus we still have more to find out about Jasmine. Then we have the whole Victoria is trying to kill your mate because of something that Edward did to her mate. So let's see which problem we have to deal with first and go from there," I told both of them.

"Okay so our first problem is shopping for four humans. And none ofys have a clue on what the fuck we really need," Garrett said with a little laugh.

"Who would have thought that the God of War would be going grocery shopping for his human mate," I said with a laugh.

"Har har har, you say that but I'm not the one who got my ass kicked by a human now am I?" he shot back at me.

"Hey Jasmine is not a human she is like us so that doesn't count."

Garrett gave a laugh and said, "Did she use any of her gifts on you?"

"No but she still isn't a human," I shot at him.

"Whatever makes you feel better. But she was a human when she was fighting you. So the Major is right," Garrett said with another laugh.

"Ha ha ha, laugh it up fuckers but Major she's already called you out. And she will call you out as well Garrett. It's just a matter of time. And you want to know something. She is going to be handing both of you guys your asses as well," I told them with a shit eating grin.

"Great," Jasper and Garrett said at the same time.

I gave a small laugh and said, "But what is going to be even funnier is her handing Emmett his ass. That's not going to go over to well with him."

"Oh yea it is going to go over just as well as Maria trying to keep us three in her little army," Garrett said shaking his head.

"Speaking of that do you really think what she told us it true. I mean I would love for that cunt to be dead," I said to both of them.

"Her emotions pointed to what she was saying was the truth. And she knew things about us that only Maria would have known. But in all honesty Jasmine is a good fighter but I just can't see her really being able to take out Maria. I want to believe it but I just can't," the Major said while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well Peter you called our old contacts so we should find out the truth soon. If she did then we can go back home without having to worry about the bitch looking for us," Garrett said.

Well that would be the silver lining. None of us have been able to go back home because of worrying about being dragged back into a life we never wanted to start with. None of us said anything for a while. We were all thinking about what it would really mean if Jasmine did get rid of Maria. So the drive to Kansas City really didn't take long.

I was pulling into the parking lot and the atmosphere in the truck changed. As soon as I parked and turned off the engine we all just sat there. I don't think any of us really wanted to step out of this truck. I looked at both Jasper and Garrett and then opened my door and got out. They followed behind me and we made our way into Wal-Mart.

Jasper POV

As soon as we stepped through the sliding doors we were hit with a ton of different scents then add to that being hit with everyone's emotion. I mean the store wasn't crowded by any means but the effect was still the same. We each grabbed a cart not that I thought we would be getting that much stuff but I didn't say anything.

The first thing that we saw was the produce section. That was our first stop. Now here is where the tricky part came into play. Who in the fuck knew that there were so many different types of apples? I mean come on. An apple is an apple. Does it really matter if it is red or green? So not really knowing what the difference was I grabbed four Granny Smith apples and four Braeburn apples. I grabbed a bag of green grapes and then a bag of purple grabs. I went on to get some pears, peaches, plums, strawberries, blue barriers, honeydew, and a watermelon.

I moved on from the fruit and then grabbed a five pound bag a potatoes a few bags of lettuce, some celery, carrots, red and green peppers. Neither Peter nor Garret said a word to me as I was grabbing things and placing them into my cart. They just moved along side of me.

It was strange. For as many times as Bella ate at the house I never really paid attention to what she was eating, or even what types of food Alice or Esme brought into the house. I just knew that it all smelled like shit once it was cooked. We made our way out of the produce section. And then I could say the shit hit the fan.

We decided that we would just walk up and down every aisle since we really didn't know what we needed. That was the first mistake that we made. The first aisle after produce was frozen desserts. We thought it would be best to save that aisle for last since most of that stuff would melt. The next frozen aisle was veggies and dinners. Garrett grabbed a bag of corn, green beans, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower. He then went on to grab one of every microwave dinner that they had. The next aisle had a ton of different types of pizza again he just grabbed one of each so he ended up grabbing doubles because they had more than one brand. He ended up with ones that went in the oven and ones that went in the microwave. He went on to grab one of every kind of hot pockets, lean pockets that they have. We were out of the frozen section but as we turned to look at what was on the other side there was nothing but breads.

Okay how many different types of the same bread do you really need? But this was an easy thing for me. I did know what type of bead Bella ate. I grabbed a loaf of IronKids. When I looked up I saw that Peter was at the end of the aisle grabbing one of every kind of little snack cake there was. Little Debbie or just the generic brand they had. I just looked at him.

"What?" was all he asked me.

I just shook my head and asked, "Do you honestly think that they would eat those?"

"You're saying something to me about what I get but nothing to Garrett. What is that all about?" He asked me.

"Garrett actually got food; you just got a bunch a junk food. I know Bella, she is already going to yell at us for grabbing more food than is needed," I told both of them.

"Oh so you are worried about what Bella is going to say?" Garrett asked now.

"You've never seen Bella mad. But what I am really worried about is how Bella and Jasmine will react together when they see all of this. We haven't even hit the rest of the aisle's. I think we just need to be smart about what we are grabbing," I told both of them.

We made it down the next three aisles with each of us only grabbing what we thought they would eat. We stopped grabbing doubles of things. Peter and Garrett can think what they want. But they haven't seen Bella really mad. I know that we're vampires but she has a way of scaring the shit out of even us. I've only seen her get mad once but it was something I never wanted to see again. I mean Alice would be able to tell you about all of the other times that she has gotten mad and what had happen. I will say one thing about it as scary as it can be it is also very sexy.

Wait did I just say Bella angry is sexy. Shit what is going on. Since when do I think that Bella is sexy? I mean yeah she's good looking and all. But I have never really paid much attention to her. Granted the only time I really spent with her was when we were on the run from James. But most of the time I was trying to keep her calm and remind myself that she wasn't food. Man I really hate that. Why the fuck couldn't I have more control over my blood lust. It would have stopped all of this from happening. If only I would have been able to keep myself in check then we wouldn't be in this situation.

I was brought out my musing when Garrett asked, "So what type of milk do you think we should get?"

"Green," was all I said.

"What the Fuck man there isn't any green milk here," Peter said.

"The milk isn't green fucker the label on the milk is. Never really paid attention to the type but I noticed the label," I told him as Garrett grabbed the milk and placed it in his cart.

"Okay so should we grab them other things that they will need or wait and let them come and get what they need?" Garrett asked.

I just looked at him and said, "I just think it would be best if they were with us to get anything else that they might need. Besides we should be heading back so that we can get breakfast ready for them when they wake up."

At the same time they both said, "Good idea Major."

With that we headed to check out. When we did get to the front of the store every lane that was open had a nice size line. The only one that didn't have that long of a line was the only one you could get tobacco from. So we went to that line. It wasn't like we couldn't just buy a pack of cigarettes or something. After all we could smoke it wasn't like it was gonna kill us. And in all honesty all three of us use to back in the day.

As I was placing the contents of my cart on the belt the emotions coming off of the casher were killing. She was one big ball of lust. I felt like I needed to take several cold showers. Sometimes I really hate my gift. Like right now. All I could think the entire time was I want to get out of here. So when she was almost done I said, "And a carton of Marble Ultra lite."

Peter seemed to have the same idea as me. Which that in and of itself was a shock. Usually is the one that likes to play with the humans and what they are feeling just because he can. But not this time. Instead of waiting until she was almost finished he told her right off the bat, "carton of Camel Silver.

Garrett on the other hand seemed to want to have a little fun with the human. I have no clue what he was thinking. But then again it always did seem like Garrett wasn't playing with a full deck of cards all the time. He was flirting with her. Kate would kill him if she knew about this. Oh how much fun it would be to hold this over his head. She had finally gotten to the last thing he had on the belt and then he leaned closer to her and said, "A carton of Marble Menthol."

As soon as we stepped outside both Peter and I hit him upside the back of his head. "What the Fuck was that for?" he asked both of us.

"That Fucker was for flirting with her," Peter said as he was loading his bags into the bed of his truck.

"Come on I was only having a little fun. It's not like I was trying to get her number or anything like that. Besides it was either I did that or I tried to eat her. Which would you guys have rather I did?' he asked.

"Okay, the second really isn't an option. So the flirting with her was better. But you know Kate is going to kill you when she finds out about this," I told her.

"And how is she going to know anything about this?" Garrett asked. Then he looked at both of us and said, "Fuck no do not tell her anything about this. Are guys trying to get my ass zapped?"

We both had to laugh at that. It was always fun to see Kate use her gift as long as it wasn't on you. I've never got her made enough that she would even try to use her gift on me. But then again I also think it has something to do with the fact that as she was using it on me I could and would just send it right back to her or to whoever was near me at the time. That is the only good thing about being an empath.

We got everything loaded into the bed of the truck and then we were on our way back to Peter's. None of us said a word the entire way back. The emotions in the truck was mostly worry and anxious. I didn't say anything and I didn't try to change the emotional climate in the truck either. Because frankly those emotions were running high in me as well. The only thing was why I was really feeling them. I mean Peter, Char, and Jasmine all practically told me that Bella is my soul mate. So am I worrying about how she is going to react to this little piece of news? Or am I worrying about Jasmine and finding out that she is my last living blood relative and that she has some psychotic werewolf after her and most likely the Volturi along with him. Or maybe it is the fact that Victoria is after Bella and we left her unprotected and in the hands of the wolves. And they weren't even able to help her. No it was left up to Laurent and the others to save her.

Shit right now I don't even know what to think. Just then Peter's cell went off. Both Garrett and I looked at him as he answered the phone.

Peter POV

We were on our way back to the house and we were half way there when my cell starts going off. I grabbed it from my pocket and both Jasper and Garrett are just staring at me. I flip open my phone and just say, "Yeah."

"Hey Captain I found out the information you were looking for. Maria is dead. I talked to a few vamps that saw what happened. They weren't able to give me the girls name only that they called her Little bit. But here's the fucked up part they say she was just a human girl. I mean how the fuck does a human girl kill one of us. And Maria for that matter. I mean don't get me wrong I'm glad that cunt is dead.

"It means I don't have to keep looking over my shoulder to make sure she isn't coming after me. But I just don't see a human being able to do this. I think that the Major will want to know about this," Bret said.

"Yeah he already knows. He was with me when I found out. That's why I started making the calls we wanted to know if it was true. Bret are you still with any of the ones that saw this fight?" I asked him.

"Yes sir," was all he said.

Then the phone was passed to someone else. And the voice on the other said, "Captain I know this sounds crazy and believe me if I didn't see it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it either. But I am telling you the truth here. It was a human girl. She was no older then seventeen. But she is someone I wouldn't want to get pissed at me. If you don't mind me asking how did you find out about this?"

"From the source itself," I told him.

"You've talked to her? Is little bit okay. I mean after she took out Marie and her army things were a little rough for her. My sister and I got the feeling like she was trying to run away from someone. We were proven right about a month after she left us. Two children of the moon came looking for her. We told them that we had seen her and that she headed South. So they went South looking for her," he told me.

"You didn't think of killing them when they asked you about her?" I asked in a hissed.

"They didn't mean us any harm and we didn't see a point in killing them. They had done nothing to us," he replied.

Jasper was growling at this point I just looked at him. He reached out his hand for the phone and I didn't want to piss him off any more then he already was so I handed him the phone without a word.

"You didn't see the point in killing them. Did you not tell her that if she ever needed help you would be there for her?" he asked with a low growl at the end.

"Yes we did," He replied.

But on the other end I could hear Bret say "Oh shit the Major is pissed."

"Then as soon as anyone started asking about her whereabouts and knowing that they were children of the moon you should have killed them. That would have been helping her out," Jasper again hissed.

"Major I'm sorry that our inaction has upset you, but can you tell me why this pisses you off so much?" he asked.

We all could hear Bret say, "You don't question what the Major says or even why he says it." And I would have to say I agreed with that. But then again we all fought alongside of him and we knew if we disobeyed any of his orders it would be the last time we ever did so. He wasn't known as the God of War because he was nice.

Before The Major was able to say anything we heard another voice on the other side say, "Oh shit Little bit is his blood decendent. Jer hand me the phone right now," we could hear the phone being passed again, "Major I am sorry that we didn't take care of them. But we were tired of all of the fighting. Maria had created us. Little bit saved us and your right we should have taken care of them and that is on us if they ever find her.

"But there is something else that you should know. Aro and the Volturi are looking for her as well. She didn't tell us where she was going so they have no clue. And they found us before the two wolves did so they don't know that they are looking for her. I don't know what they intend to do, but I know whatever it is it isn't good. She is a human that knows too much about our kind. And the fact that she is able to kill us isn't going to work in her favour with them."

"If what you say is true then how is it that you are still alive. They would have killed you for not killing her?" he asked as soon as she stopped talking.

"Aro was all for killing us but Caius thought that they would be able to use us. If they are unable to find Little Bit then they are gonna use us to find her. I hate knowing that we might have to hand her over to them. But what would you have us do. Just let them kill us?" she asked.

"No you did the right thing on that. She let you guys live for a reason. How many from Maria's army did she let live?" he asked.

"We were the only ones. Why do you ask?"

"Since you guys are the only ones I would say she already knew what was gonna happen. Right now try to keep a low profile. And if anymore Children of the moon come looking for her keep giving them miss information. If they start to push too much kill them. Bret you will be getting another phone call from us. Start rounding up whoever is left that got away the first time. I will call you with more details," Jasper told them.

"Yes Sir," was all Bret said and then the line went dead.

I just looked at him but before Garrett or I could say a word Jasper yelled, "She fucking knew this was gonna happen. How the fuck is she not worrying 'bout this. Oh wait I know she is more fucking worried about Bella, Angela and Ben to give to shits about her own life."

I calmly said, "Major I know you're pissed but think about this. IF she only worried about her life then she would also have to worry about Bella's as well. You saw what happened when Bella cut herself. The same cuts were made on Jasmine and the blade never even touched her. I don't think it's that she isn't worried about her own life but can only focus on what she knows to be the biggest problem.

"And I would say keeping Bella alive is gonna be the biggest problem right now. We know that Victoria is after her but since her plan A didn't work what is her plan B. We don't know that and I don't think that she really knows it either. I think all she knows is that she is gonna need all the help she can get."

"Peter I get that. But it still pisses me off that she is only worrying about everyone else. I mean in all honesty none of us would give two cents about anyone but our mates if our lives were in danger. But here she is trying to make sure that all of us stay safe. When she knows that come September thirteenth she is either going to die or become an immortal. And trust me when I say she doesn't give a shit which way the scales tip for her. Now tell me I shouldn't be pissed," he hissed out.

"You know she's also an empath. She might just be turning your gift against you so you don't really know what her true feelings are. I don't think she wants to die. Not with how much she is fighting with her mate about accepting the vampire side her. If she really didn't care either way I don't think she would be fighting with him now do you?" Garrett asked. That had both of us stumped. He made a good point. And it made since that she wouldn't want Jas to know what she was really feeling.

None of us said another word the rest of the trip back to the house. It wasn't until we started to pull into the driveway that the silence was broken by Garrett asking, "What is that noise?"

"Jasmine," Jasper and I said at the same time.

"That doesn't sound like Jasmine," Garrett said. But sure enough as I pulled my truck around to the back of the house we saw Jasmine and the others fighting. I stopped the truck and as soon as I turned off the engine Char and Kate were at the back starting to unload everything.

Garrett POV

"What's going on?" I asked Kate as soon as I was out of the truck.

Kate went on to tell us, "Oh about an hour after you guys left Jasmine woke up. She went for a quick run then feed again. And before you say anything Jasper she didn't go alone I went with her. When we got back the others were up and kinda freaking out because Jasmine wasn't there. So she is trying to calm them without using her gifts.

"I have to say that watching them spar is really interesting. I really didn't think that a human would be able to do some of the things that they have done. Garrett if you think my gift hurts then you really shouldn't try touching one of those agiles because they hurt like a mother fucker. We did find out something interesting about the other three thou."

"What did you find out?" I asked.

"That my gift doesn't work on them. They can't even feel it. Jasmine thinks it might have something to do with the spell that she cast on all of them. At least for Angela and Ben. She knew it wouldn't work on Bella because Bella has a mental shield. That would be why Fuckward could never get into her head. Bella didn't believe it until she was able to stop Char from being zapped by my gift," Kate told us with a shrug of her shoulders.

All three of us stood there with our mouths hanging open. We were brought out of our shock when we heard laughing and Bella saying, "If you keep your mouths open like that you're going to catch flies. Now Garrett and Jasper that might sound appetizing to you but Peter you're a people eater. So close your mouths." She then turned to look at Kate and said, "What is taking you guys so long?"

"Char and I are just going to help the guys unload everything that they got. Then we will be back," Kate told her.

Jasmine walked over to Bella and then looked at all of us and said, "No they can take care of that on their own. They're the ones that went to get food, so they can put it all away on their own. But this doesn't help any of you." With that she playfully shoved Bella back towards the others.

I just looked at Kate and she said, "Sorry boys looks like you are doing this on your own. But I wonder what she meant by that last part."

Char just gave a small laugh and said, "They thought that they could get on Jasmine's good side by going and getting food for them to eat. But I have to say Jasper was the one to say that it really wouldn't work. Looks like you were right Major. So now you guys go and put all of this away and in the right place and if my kitchen is a mess you will have to deal with me." With that said both Char and Kate headed back towards everyone else.

We grabbed all of the bags and headed straight for the kitchen. We could hear them out there sparing with each other and I just wanted to go out and see what they were doing. As we were putting everything away Laurent and Irina came out of there room. Irina just walked out the back door not paying attention to anything that we were doing. It was Laurent that stopped and asked, "How did you guys get stuck doing this?"

"We're the ones that went and got all of this. Jasmine said since we did that we can put it all away," I told him.

He just started laughing at that. All three of us just looked at him like WTF? Once he stopped laughing he looked at us and just said, "Man I can see Peter not saying a word to her because she's already kicked his ass. But you two. Man she was right she hasn't even spared with you two and you're already submitting to what she says. I would just keep this up and then she will never hand you guys your asses like she did Peter."

We got everything put away before anyone said anything about what Laurent just said. But I couldn't help but feel like no matter what we did Jasper and I were going to end up sparing with Jasmine and she will be proving that she is the stronger one in the fight. The only thing is will she be doing this with or without all of her gifts. I just look at Laurent and say, "I don't think us just doing what she says is going to stop her from handing us our asses. I mean I just don't see that being the point behind what she is doing."

"Do you think she likes fighting?" Laurent

"No I can tell you she doesn't. But Garrett's right. She has a point to make. We just happen to be who she is making it with. And I have a feeling that when she spars with me it is going to be in front of everyone. And I have a feeling it will be after she has spared with you," he pointed to me, "and Em. I just wonder what else she has up her sleeve," Jasper said. Just then his cell phone started going off.

Jasper POV

I answered my phone on the second ring "Hey Rose."

"Just wanted to let you know that we are almost to Peter's. Could they have picked a place any more in the boondocks. I mean I feel like I am going to see guys in overalls and hay hanging out of their mouths," Rose said.

"Well Rose you will see that. A lot of the farmers out here wear that. Now the hay is something I don't know so much about. Haven't seen it in anyone's mouth but then again you never know," I told her with a little laugh.

"Ha, Ha, Ha, real funny Jack ass. But I'm serious what were they thinking when they moved all the way out here. I mean the sun is always out. It's one of the reasons why we never moved here. How are they able to get out during the day? I mean they also live in a small town. So people are going to notice that they never come out," she said.

"That's easy Rose they farm their land just like everyone around them does. So they dress like them too. Long sleeves, hats, cloves, and jeans. No big deal no one notices. How far out are you guys?" I asked.

"About thirty minutes. Unless we speed," she said.

"No you need to do the speed limit small town cops and all. We will see you when you get here," I tell her. Then I hung up the phone. I then just looked at the guys and said, "We might want to let them know that Em and Rose are almost here so that we know how Jasmine wants to handle this."

"How I want to handle what Major?" Jasmine asked as she walked through the back door.

"Em and Rose are about thirty minutes away," I tell her.

She gives a nod and then looks behind her and says, "Alright that's enough for right now. We'll pick it up latter you guys go get cleaned up. By the time you guys are done I will have something ready for all of us to eat. Then while you guys are eating I will go and shower. Peter you and Char should go hunt. That way you will be back before they get here. Same goes for everyone but Kate."

"Why doesn't Kate have to go?" Irina asked.

"Because she's already hunted. She went with me when I woke up," She told Irina and then she looked at Bella, Angela and Ben and said, "That's why I wasn't there when you guys woke up. I needed to run and the three stooges over there," she pointed to Peter, Garret and me, "told Char and Kate to make sure that nothing would happen to us. When I woke and started to head towards the trees Kate followed. So I wasn't alone. But you guys wouldn't listen to that."

"Well what were we supposed to think? You usually always wake one of us to let us know that you needed to clear your head. This time you didn't. Sorry if we freaked out just a little. But I think we had a right to do so. We almost lost you and you were all for not fighting to stay alive. So I think everyone is going to be keeping an eye on you. So just get use to it," Ben said.

"Ben's right we are all going to keep an eye on you right now. It's not that we don't trust you, because we do. But you have to see it from our point of view. You are always worrying about everyone else and you don't take the time to worry about yourself. We heard back from one of the people that Peter called. And we need to talk about what we were told. But that can wait till after Rose and Em know everything that we know. And we know what they know," I tell Jasmine.

"Or while I am fixing breakfast and they are showering we can talk. But if you want everyone to know then we can talk about it once everyone is here. It really doesn't matter to me. And I can see it from your guys point of view with me. But you also have to understand that some of the things that I do won't make since to you. I only have to options and there is nothing that can change that. And I don't' know what the outcome will be. All I know is that I am going to do it on my own. Now you guys need to get going or else Emmet and Rosalie are going to get here and none of you will be here just us humans and Kate," She said.

"I hunted yesterday before you guys got here. So I am good," I tell her.

"Trust me on this. Just go and hunt tonight is going to be harder than last night. Bella is going to tell you guys what happened after her birthday party. And I don't want to take any chances. I know you won't attack anyone but please just do this," she said to me. I just nodded to her that I would do what she asked this time.

Jasmine POV

I know that everyone is goin' to be keeping a closer eye on me. And it is my fault that they are. So I am just going to deal with it. But that doesn't mean that they still don't need to listen to me. So I thought that I was going to have some problems when I told them all to go hunting. But once Jasper nodded that he would go I knew I wouldn't have any problems with any of the others. I think it also helped that they knew someone else was going to be left here with me besides Bella, Angela, and Ben.

As soon as everyone left the house Bella, Angela, and Ben went to get in the shower. And I started to look around to see what the three stooges bought at the store. Kate stayed with me but she just sat at the kitchen table. I just looked over my shoulder at her and asked, "What?"

"You're really not okay with people worrying about you are you?" she asked me.

"No," I told her.

She just looked at me and then asked, "Why?"

"My family was always worrying about me. That's one of the reasons why I was trained the way I was. In the end their worrying got them all killed. They shouldn't have been worrying about me. I can't change what happened to them but I can make sure that it doesn't happen again. I will not make the same mistake twice," I tell her.

While I was talking to Kate I was grabbing out a pan so that I can fix eggs. I turned on the oven to 325. I found Char's cookie sheets and while the oven was heating up I started to place the bacon on them. Kate was just watching what I was doing when I looked over at her she just asked, "What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to cook the bacon first?"

I laughed at the look on her face, and just said, "I am going to cook the bacon. That's why I'm putting it on the cookie sheets. I'm going to put it in the oven. It makes less of a mess, doing it this way. And besides every time I cook bacon in a frying pan the grease always pops on me. So I just do it this way because it is a lot safer for me. I don't need to add any more scars to my already scared body."

"Okay I understand that you and Bella are connected so every scar that she has you have. But what I don't get is you are like us. So how is it that your body is so scared?" Kate asked.

The oven had hit the temperature as I was placing the cookie sheets in the oven as I answered Kate's question, "The thing is I am like you guys, but I don't heal any faster than a human does. The wolves in Forks heal really fast but not me. I can push through the pain but only because I was shown how. When Bella broke her leg I didn't heal any faster than she did. I'm still human in that since. Like I've said my life is complicated."

"You act as if none of this bothers you," she stated.

"When I first started to get injuries by doing nothing, I got scared. I was only five; I had always known that I was different. And I thought that another witch had cursed me. That's when my family told me about Bella. They didn't really tell me anything else. Just that she was human and I was taking away her pain."

She just looked at me and asked, "And you were okay with that?"

"There was really nothing I could do about it. And with how my parents described it to me I was happy to help someone else out, even though I had never meet her," I told her honestly.

Shaking her head at me she said, "I don't think I could have done it if it was me. I would be wanting to know why I was the one this was happening to."

"I did question it, but I never questioned why me. I questioned why Bella. She had no connection to this world. So why would the fates bring her into it like this, and without any warning to her. I didn't think it was right. But I was going to do whatever was needed to make sure that nothing more happened to her once I was supposed to come into her life."

"You do know that you don't have to look after me now. You can focus on looking after yourself," Bella said as she walked into the kitchen.

"You know I can't do that," I told her.

"Fine you worry about me and I'll worry about you since you seem to forget about yourself," Bella said as she took a seat at the island.

I just looked at her and said, "No you need to worry about you and not me at least for right now. Remember you have to tell them your story tonight."

"Yeah I know. It's not going to go over very well. I don't see Jasper handling what I went through very erll."

"If you think he is going to react bad to what you have to say then sit next to him. I will not manipulate his emotions just so you can tell everyone what happened. You've already calmed him down once while I was telling everyone my story," I told her as I took the bacon out of the oven.

"Yea I know. I don't know if he is going to be able to hear your story again," she said with a shake of her head.

"He doesn't have to sit through it again. He can leave while I tell them but I know him he's not going to," I tell her as I put some bacon and eggs on her plate.

While I place food on Angela and Ben's plates Bella just looked at me and in my head she asked, Jazz can you do me a favour?

What is it? I asked her.

She just looked me in the eyes and said, When Em and Rose get here and they see that we are here. And before I start to tell everyone my story. Can you make them feel what I felt? Just don't hit Rose full force with it. But give Emmett everything you got.

I kept my eyes locked on hers when I asked, Why?

Her reply was just, Rose and I were never that close. So her leaving like she did hurt but not as much as Emmett leaving without saying good. I want them to feel how I felt how you felt because of me. I think they should know.

I didn't want to ask but I had to, What about Jasper?

She just looked at me confused and asked, What about him?

Do you want me to hit him with any of the emotions I asked her.

She just said, No. He told me good-bye and he apologized for what happened at the party. Granted he didn't tell me that everyone else was leaving even though he knew but they are the ones that chose not to tell me good-bye not him. He had no say in that.

My response was just, Okay I will hit them with it right before you start to tell your story. If this is what you truly want.

It is, was all she said.

Alright just tell me when. The funny thing will be they are going to think that Jasper is the one doing this, I told her.

While our little mental conversation was going on Ben and Angela had joined us and started to eat. Kate just kept looking at us trying to figure out what was going on but never asked or said a word. But I could tell that she wanted to know what was being said. Before I could say anything to Kate about what Bella wanted the veggie vamps all came back.

Garrett came right in and went straight to Kate. He looked at the rest of us and asked, "So what did you talk about while we were out?"

"Well Jasmine and Bella had a privet conversation so I really don't know what was said. But I was talking to Jasmine while the others were in the shower," Kate told them.

Everyone looked at me. Laurent was the one to ask, "What did you two talk about?"

"Kate just asked me how I could be okay with all of this," I told them with a shrug off my shoulders.

"She was like this when we were talking," Kate said shaking her head.

"Why don't you take any of this seriously?" Jasper tried not to yell at me but failed miserably at it.

"Jasper calm down," Bella said as she placed her hand on his shoulder. It was really funny to see because as soon as she touched him he visibly relaxed. She then turned back to me and said, "How are we going to do this?"

"What do you mean how are you going to do this?" Jasper asked her.

"I am talking about Emmett and Rosalie how we," she pointed to everyone but Jasper since Peter and Char wasn't there, "are going to do this. Since they don't know that we are here. So I am asking Jasmine how we are going to deal with it. Because in all honesty Jasper I'm not sure how any of this is going to go down. And I really would rather not get bitched at."

"B no one that really matters is going to Bitch at you. But all we need to do is stay in the house Jasper, Peter, and Char will be outside waiting for them. Not that it would really matter to them that the other vamps are here. They are actually both worried that we went MIA with other vamps that they don't know who they are," I tell her.

"Sis why don't you go and shower now and we will clean up all of this," Ben said.

"Alright. While I am in the shower none of you do anything stupid," I said looking at everyone in the room.

"What do you think that we could do from the time you hope into the shower to the time that you get out?" Laurent ask

"Oh I know that these three," I pointed to my family, "can get into trouble with me only turning my back to them. So with all of you guys I don't even want to think about what could happen," I told them. Then I looked to my uncle and said, "So Major I am going to hold you responsible for anything that happens while I am in the shower."

"Why are you putting me in charge?" he asked.

"Do you not have a military background?" I asked.

"You know I do. But I still don't see what that has to do with anything," he said. At that Bella, Angela, and Ben started laughing. He just looked at them and asked, "What is so funny?"

Angela just looked at him and said, "Oh nothing just the fact that you can't figure out why she is putting you in charge." She then turned to me and said, "Sis go shower and I will make sure that nothing happens. If it does then us three know what will happen."

"I won't be but five minutes. Please try not to do anything stupid. Save that for Emmett," I told them as I headed out of the kitchen.

I made it halfway to the hall bathroom when my uncle stopped me. He grabbed me by the shoulder and asked, "What was all of that about?"

I just looked over my shoulder and as innocently as I could asked, "What was all what about?"

Jasper POV

"Jasmine do you know how this is going to turn out?" I asked her trying to at least get some answers out of her. Man I thought that Alice to keep things tight lipped but Jasmine has her beat on that.

"No all I know is what needs to be done but I don't know what's going to happen," she tells me.

I then ask, "What needs to be done?"

"B tells all of you what happened after you guys left. And then I tell my story again…"

I cut her off by saying, "No I can't sit through your story again. They don't need to know everything. At least not right now."

"They need to know my story. If you don't think you can listen to it again then leave. But this isn't the last time it will be told. I don't want to make things harder for you but it is what it is."

"You don't want to make things harder for me?" I asked her. But why I really did I don't know. In all honesty she is worse than Bella is.

"I've given you a lot of information in a short amount of time. You haven't had time to adjust to it. And I'm not going to be giving Emmett and Rosalie time to either. But we have to look at what is more important in this situation. If they don't know everything mistakes can happen and I will not put anyone's life in danger because they don't know everything. You can't ask me to do that uncle."

She started to head to the bathroom again but I just followed her. We needed to have this conversation. I needed to understand why she was going to go through all of this again. I know that when she talks about everything that has happened is hard for her. "I get what you are saying. But what I don't understand is why put yourself through telling your story more then you need to. I know it was hard for you when you were telling us. So why do it now for Em and Rose and then have to do it again when everyone else comes?"

"You would think that it would be easier just to tell it one more time. But it would just make things harder for everyone."

From the end of the hallway came Peter's voice saying, "She's right Major. It sucks but if she waits it is only going to cause more problems than we need. Let her get in the shower Em and Rose will be here shortly. And Jasmine what happens if Bella and them do something stupid?"

"They know what happens Peter and if I find out that you had something to do with it you wouldn't like what happens. But then again you should already know that," she yells back at him.

All I heard was "Shit," from everyone in the living room. I just turned to look at Jasmine and she was just shaking her head.

She looked at the end of the hall and said, "I haven't even got into the shower yet and you guys have already done something that you shouldn't have. We will deal with this when I get out of the shower. Just sit in the living room and do nothing." She then looked at me and said, "See that is why I was putting you in charge. So can you please go and keep an eye on everyone now."

"Yeah just get in the shower. We'll talk once you get out," I tell her.

She just nods her head and heads into the bath room, and I head back towards everyone else. As soon as I hit the living room and saw everyone's head down I knew that this couldn't be good. I looked over to Garrett who was shaking his head and had to ask, "What did you guys do that has everyone feeling so guilty right now?"

Garrett looked at me and said, "Well we were just messing around with the agiles."

"Okay that would be the something stupid that she was talking about not doing," I said shaking my head.

Peter just looked at me and said, "Major everything is going to be fine. Just sit down and don't worry so much about everything."

"It's not that easy Peter," I tell him.

"Jasper what it is that is really bothering you?" Bella asks.

"Her whole attitude about everything that is going on. I mean shit Bella, it's like she doesn't give a shit about what could happen to her," I tell her while rubbing my hand on the back of my neck.

"Jasper I can tell you for a fact that she cares. Trust me it pisses all of us off, and we get to be inside her head. She has more to worry about than any of us do. So don't for one second think that she doesn't give a shit about herself but she's known what her fate is. She is just dealing with it the best way that she knows how. And maybe it would be different if she wasn't on her own for a year. But like she has said you can't change the past or affect the outcome of the future. So give her a break and be there for. Don't push her or you aren't going to like what the outcome is going to be. I mean that is one of the reasons she isn't talking to Paul and he is her imprint," she tells me.

"I get it. But she is worse than you are. She is putting everyone else's life before hers. If she was just worrying about you and her life then fine that makes since and let everyone else help to make sure that nothing happens to anyone else. But no she is putting everything on her shoulders when it doesn't have to be like that. She doesn't have to take one all of this on her own."

Ben just looks at everyone in the room and then says, "You still don't see why she is doing it."

"What do you mean?" Irina asks. I have to say I don't see what Ben is getting at.

But Kate was the one that answered, "She isn't going to let history repeat itself. It's one of the things that we were talking about while you guys went hunting and the others were showering. She sees all of us as her family and she isn't go to let what happened to her family happen to any of us. Yea she knows that we can take care of ourselves but in the back of her mind she just keeps seeing what happened to her family. They were just as capable as we are but yet it wasn't enough.

"I mean Jasper look at what she's already done for you, Peter, Char, and Garrett. She's making sure that nothing can hurt her family. She really never should have been put in this position. But she is doing better than any of us would have done in it. So Jasper just sit down and stop worrying so much right now. Because there is nothing any of us can do to change what is going to happen."

I didn't say anything but sat down. I mean what could I say. She was right. With everything that has happened to her I should have known why her emotions we like she didn't care. But it just pisses me off that she doesn't see that she doesn't have to do this on her own.

It wasn't long before Jasmine was joining us in the living room. We all looked at her. She had on black short shorts and a black halter top that not only tied around the neck but only had a thin strap that went around her back. The front came to a point and her back was completely bare. Then she had her agiles place on her right thigh. Her hair was still wet and just fell down her back to her waist.

Before I could say anything about what she was wearing she just looked at Ben and said, "No I will not. I have to be able to shift and I can't do that in normal cloths. No one here is looking at me like that. So just get over it. And this is more to how I like to dress anyways."

"So you just walk around in your under garments all the time?" Laurent asked.

Jasmine just gave small laugh and said, "These are not my under garments as you put it. Look I wouldn't expect you guys to understand this. Yes a lot of my skin is showing but there is reason for it. Not only am I going to have to shift but remember Gia's sisters wanted to talk to all of us."

"So this has to also do with them?" Garrett asked pointing to how she was dressed.

"Yes and no. This is who I am." She then turned to look at Ben and said, "You are just use to seeing me dressing in order to fit in with everyone else. I don't have to do that anymore. So you are just going to have to get use to this. Now Emmett and Rose will be pulling up the driveway right about now."

And sure enough everyone but the humans were able to hear their car pull onto the driveway. I went to get up but Peter just looked at me and said, "We are going to stay right here. Once they step out of the car we will just tell them to come right in."

"I don't think so. Peter you will get up off your ass and answer the door," Char said.

"No they know they can just walk in, why should I go and open the door for them?" he asked acting like a little kid.

"Because for one they don't that they are here," she said pointing everyone but me. Then she went on to say, "I would like to keep my front door on the hinges. So get up off of your ass and get the door right now before you get hit in the dick with one of the agiles. And you won't be getting any for a month."

No one said anything. Well okay that isn't exactly true. Ben let out a groan and then covered himself. Angela and Bella both patted him on the shoulder. I just had to ask, "Did that happen to you Ben," because his emotions had a hint of pain tied to them at what Char said.

"No but close. Peter you may be like stone but if the agile gets that close to you there it is going to hurt and you won't want to be having sex for longer than a month," Ben said.

After that Peter didn't waste any time getting up and going to the door. All of us just laughed at him. I mean I wouldn't want to be hit in the dick with the agile but he should have known that Char wasn't just going to let him sit there and not get the door. She did have a point.

Emmett POV

We were mostly silent the entire drive to Peter's after the last time that we talked to Jasper. How were we going to tell him that Bella was missing with other vampires? I mean I know the wolves said that she and the others were okay. But had we not left her like we did, none of this would have happened. I just know that he is going to blame himself for all of this. But if anyone is to blame it would be Edward.

Rosie has been quiet ever since we found out that Bella had gone missing. I turned towards her and just asked, "Rose what's up? You've been really quite."

"I just can't help but think that we never should have left Bella. God if Edward wasn't such a dip shit none of this would have happened. If he would have just said 'Hey guys I don't want to be with Bella any more it's time for me to move on none of us would have said anything to him," she said ringing her hands.

"Rosie don't take this the wrong way I'm glad that you care about Bella, but what brought this change on. I mean I know you never really hated her. But right now you are acting like Alice is and you weren't even that close to her," I asked.

Rose just ran a hand on the back of her neck and said, "Your right I never hated her I just didn't agree with what she was doing. She was going to give everything up to become one of us. I just didn't want her to make any rash decisions because once she became one of us there was no going back. But then after everything that happened when James was after her. I saw that she wasn't so much making her decision because she was in love with just Edward. She cared for all of us. Even though I was a bitch to her all the time and Jasper was never around her.

"She fell in love with the whole family and wanted to keep all of us in her life. The shopping trips that I did go one with Alice and her I could tell that she did see Alice as friend but also a sister. She always saw Esme as a mom and Carlisle as a dad. But it never took away from how she acted with her family, because her relationship with her parents is so different. I still don't think that she should become one of us but I can understand why she wants to."

"Rosie how are we going to tell Jasper that Bella is missing? He is going to think that this is all his fault. When in reality it is all Edward's Fault," I ask her.

"Baby I don't know but what I do know is that whatever we do we have to find her. I am more interested in knowing if she knows about the wolves. But knowing her she most likely does, since they have been looking out for her ever since we left," she said.

"Well it's time to see how Jasper is going to react to the news," I tell her as I turn onto Peter's driveway. Once we were out side of the house I turned off the engine and we got out of the car without a word. As soon as he hit the first step of the porch the front door flew open and Peter was waiting for us.

"Hey guys how was your trip?" he asked as we walked into the house.

"Long," was all Rose said. Then she asked, "Where's Jasper?"

"He's in the living room with Char. What's up guys?" he asked.

"We have some bad news to tell him," I told him as we entered the living room. As soon as I took a look at the room everything just stopped. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Bella was here sitting next to Jasper. This couldn't be...I had to be seeing things. "What the Fuck is going on here?" I growled at the room.

Jasper just looked at me and said, "Calm down so that you can listen to what happened."

"Bella's been here the entire time and you never thought to tell us. What the Fuck bro?" I asked him.

"He wasn't allowed to tell you guys. He was only following orders," some said from my right.

When I turned to see who it was I was shocked to see Jasmine leaning against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest.

"What do you mean he was only following orders? Whose orders was he following? Because I know Jasper he would never not tell his family something as important as this. Do you know how worried everyone has been because we had no clue where Bella was or who she was with?" Rose hissed at her.

Jasmine didn't change her stance she just said, "Oh I know exactly how ya'll felt and I know that not everyone was worried about where Bella or any of us were. So don't you come in here and get all pissed at Jasper for not telling you. He was followin' my orders. Just like you two were followin' Alice's on not telling him until you got here. So don't make my uncle out to be the bad guy here."

"Wait did you just say uncle?" I asked confused as hell by her comment.

"Yes she did," Jasper said from the couch.

Both Rose and I just look at him like 'What the Fuck.' He just shook his head and said, "If you calm down we can explain everything. Like how Bella and the other's got here."

Rose just turned back to Jasmine and asked, "You knew that Jasper was your uncle this entire time?"

"Yes I did. I also have one other family member who doesn't know that I exist yet. But that person will if the two of you will sit down and Calm down so that you can understand why Jasper wasn't able to tell you that we were her before you got here," Jasmine said as she motion for us to sit down.

We didn't say a word as we took a seat. Once I was in the chair I looked at Jasper and asked, "Bro do you think that you can help us out just a little here."

He didn't answer but just sent us a wave of clam. But before anyone could say another word someone's phone was going off. Garrett pulled his phone out of his pocket and just looked at the number. Then he said, "It's a Forks number."

"It's most likely Seth. I was supposed to call and talk to dad. I never got around to it so Seth is probably worried," she said as she held out her hand for the phone.

And without a word Garrett just gave her the phone. Before it could ring a third time she answered it, "Hello."

"Oh thank God. We thought that something might have happened when you didn't call. Is everything okay?" a guy asked on the other end.

"Yeah Seth everything is fine on this end. I just got distracted with everything that is going on over here. I'm sorry that I didn't call. Is Charlie their?" Jasmine asked.

"Yea he's the one that had me call. Here he is," Seth said.

"Jasmine don't you ever do that again," Charlie said as soon as he got on the phone.

"Sorry I didn't mean to make you worry. Still not use to having others worry about me. How are you holding up?" she asked him. I was still trying to figure out what the fuck was going on.

So when Charlie said, "Well to find out that your best friend's son and some of the boys on the Rez are shape shifters, then that the Cullen's are Vampires and they don't get along with the pack is a lot. But I am dealing with that just fine. The only part that I am really having a hard time with is the fact that my daughter never bothered to tell me any of this. And then on top of that you never told me either. Then you guys up and disappear the way you did. And I didn't know if you were alive or dead and then we find the bodies in the car. Do you know how hard that was for me? To think that I lost both of you like that. Only to find out that you were just taken by another group of vampires?"

"Charlie I know that it was hard for you. And believe me if there was another way for things to have played out I would have done it. I am sorry for making you worry like that and thinking that you had lost Bella like that. But you have to understand you couldn't have known about any of this before now. Bella couldn't have told you about any of this. And neither could I. You had to be told the way you were. It was the safest way and it keeps you out of danger," she told him.

"But that puts you and Bella in danger along with Angela and Ben," Charlie said.

"I was already in danger before any of this happened. But yea Angela and Ben are in danger for knowing about this. But they have made up their minds on what is going to happen. That was why things happened the way they did. And Bella was placed in danger as soon as she became part of Edward's life. Whether or not she knew what they were. But everything is going to be fine and you will get you daughter back just in a different way," she told him.

She couldn't be telling him that Bella was going to become one of us could she? But what Charlie said next just confirmed what I thought, "Yea Billy told me. As long as all of you are safe do whatever needs to be done just come back home when all of this is over with. Do you hear me?"

"Yea I hear you and they will," she said. What did she mean they will? Isn't she part of who he was talking about? I was just looking at her. But she didn't say anything to my silent question.

"I mean you as well Jasmine. You are a part of this family too. Did you get your family business taken care of?" he said then.

"Yea on relative knows and I'm going to be talking to the other one soon. Right now just don't worry about me. Just stay on the Rez and keep out of danger. Can you tell Seth to call Alice and tell them to get back to Forks. I know that Victory isn't there anymore but the pack and the Cullen's need to come up with some type of way of working with each other. Before Victory comes after Bella again."

"Yea Seth will get right on that. But one more thing. You need to talk to Paul. He is going crazy right now not knowing if you are okay or not. After what happened last time he needs to hear your voice," Charlie said.

"He's listening in right now. So he knows that I'm fine. Charlie I can't deal with that right now. I have to stay focus on what it going on. I know I sound like a Bitch right now but I just can't do it right now. I'm sorry. Paul just needs to worry about himself and the rest of the pack and not me. He will be better off without me. Bye Charlie." And with that she hung up the phone before he could say anything.

"What the fuck was that about? Charlie knows about us?" Rose hissed.

But everyone ignored her questions. Bella just looked at Jasmine and asked, "Why do you keep hurting yourself like that. Every time you deny the imprint and push him away you're in pain. So why keep doing it?"

"Because I have too. No matter how much it hurts me I have to do it. Because if I lose focus. I put your life in danger. And I am not risking you. You can't ask me to do that. You know what my outcome is so why put him through more pain by giving into the imprint now. It will only hurt him more if I do and I don't want to do that. So I will take this pain," she said with tears in her eyes.

"Well someone tell us what the fuck is going on right the fuck now," Rose yelled getting everyone's attention.

"Well you pretty much know everything if you think about it. When Seth called Alice he told her everything just not who the other vamps were or where they took us. So now you know," Bella said. She then looked at Jasmine and asked, "So does that mean that everyone else will know where we are?"

Without letting Jasmine answer Rose said, "Yes."

Jasmine just looked at Rose and said, "No not yet. They need to go back to Forks first. After they figure out how to work with the pack then everyone will find out where we are. Because if you tell them that we are in Polo, Missouri you would be wrong. That's not where we'll be."

"Wait if we aren't going to tell them that you guys are here, then where are we going to be?" Char asked.

Jasmine just one word, "Home."

I was so beyond trying to figure out what was going on right now. Because nothing made any since to me. Jasper didn't tell us that they were here. Then to find out that Jasmine is he's niece. But he never told us that he had any living family left. I mean I could see how he wouldn't know. But how does she know that he is her uncle. I mean he was one of us long before she was ever born.

"Alright there is enough confusion going around right now. So let's make this really easy for everyone. I've known that you guys were vamps from the get. Yes I knew that Jasper was my uncle even before I moved to Forks. Just like I already knew who Bella was. And no I meant none of you any harm. In all honesty you guys meant me more harm then I you," she said.

"How could we have meant you more harm?" I asked her.

She just looked at both Rose and I and without answering my question she asked, "Have you both hunted recently?"

"Yes this morning, but what does that have to do with anything?" Rose asked.

"Jasper I need you to do the same thing that you did the first night we got here alright? Peter the same goes for you okay?" she asked.

Jasper just nodded his head and before Rose or I could ask what was going on. Somehow Bella got a knife and made one long cut from her elbow almost all the way down to her wrist. "What the hell are you doing?" I yelled.

But before I got an answer Rose yelled, "How the fuck are you bleeding Jasmine?"

"This!...is how you guys are more of a danger to me then I ever was to any of you. Every emotion that Bella feels I feel. Every time that Bella was hurt so was. It has always been like this for me. Ever since the day that we were born we've been connected like this. The only thing is Bella never knew anything about this. Just like Jasper never knew that he had blood family left. And he isn't the only one so I wouldn't be saying anything until you guys know the whole story," Jasmine said as Peter sealed the wound on her arm and Jasper sealed Bella's.

As soon as Jasper was done he looked to Jasmine and said, "This is why you made sure that we all hunted before Em and Rose got here?"

Garrett was the one to answer, "Of course she did. She is to fucking worried about making everything easier on us then she is herself. Fuck Major you know is the outcome would be better she would do this on her own. She never would have let any of us get involved in this fight." He then turned to look at me and Rose and said, "Look this is what happened. Victoria called Laurent for some help in taking Bella out." Rose and I both hissed at that.

Laurent looked at both of us and said, "I was going to tell her to fuck off, but then I thought better of it. She was going to do it with or without my help. I just figured if I was there I could stop her. So I told her I was in. She then started going on about how Bella was never alone. Always with three others. So they would just have to be taken care of as well.

"I knew that I really couldn't let that happen. I mean for one Bella was part of the reason why I changed my diet. Irina was the reason why I stayed with it. The second reason was because at the time I thought the others didn't know anything about our world. After I got off the phone I told Irina about what Victoria was planning on doing. And she was ready to leave and do whatever it took to make sure that Vicky's plan didn't work.

"Kate and Garrett joined us because we needed to get everyone out at the same time and we all wanted to get away from Tanya and Fuckward. Yes they know all about that so don't worry. Well let's just say what happened once we got to them wasn't what we were expecting."

"What do you mean? And why the hell didn't you tell us about any of this?" I had to ask. Because so fair I wasn't understanding why they even did anything. I mean Laurent didn't even help us the first time a member of his coven tried to go after Bella. So what would really make this time any different he doesn't even know her.

Irina spoke this time, "We didn't say anything because we thought that Alice would have saw that Bella was in trouble. And even though you guys always said how much you missed Bella, you never tried to see if she was okay. You moved on with your lives. So we didn't know if you guys even really cared about her. So we did it on our own. That's why we didn't tell any of you.

"As for the first part of your question. They were waiting for us. They knew that Victoria was coming for Bella. And they knew that we were going to try and stop her. They blew up Ben's car so that their family's wouldn't look for them and Victoria wouldn't be able to track their scents. They also blew up Dickward's meadow. So that Victoria couldn't follow us. They had a car….err well a van ready for us so that we could make the trip here. Even though they didn't know where we were going to take them."

"Bella how could you tell them about us?" Rose asked.

"Bella didn't tell us. She didn't tell us about you or the pack. So don't get all Bitchy with her Rosalie. IF you and Emmett keep asking question then you will never be able to understand everything that has happened. And we haven't even gotten to the hard parts yet," Angela said.

Jasmine just looked at Bella and said, "B its time to tell them."

Bella just nodded and said, "Alright then it's time to show them as well."

With that said I was hit with most excruciating pain. It felt as if my heart was being pulled out of my chest. I just looked over at Jasper and said, "Bro lay off of the emotions. You're killing me here."

"It's not me," he said and I followed as his eyes drifted over to Jasmine.

"There is no way that Jasmine is doing this. She is just a human. Jasper stop this," Rose cried.

"Jasmine stop I think they understand now," Bella said.

"Are you sure?" Jasmine asked her.

"Yes," was all she said and the pain was gone. Bella then looked at Rose and I and said, "What you just felt is what I felt when you guys left me. And Edward ripped my heart out. That was only a little taste of how I felt. You want to get mad at Laurent and them for not telling you that I was in trouble. You have no right too. Just like you have no right to get mad at Jasper for not telling you that I was here. Why should they have told you anything, when you couldn't even tell me good-bye before you left? Did you think about how I would feel with you guys just leaving like that after you Emmett kept telling me that I was like a little sister too? Rose I really hold no ill will with you because we were never close."

"What about Jasper? Did he feel that pain like we did?" Rose asked.

Bella looked at Jasper then back to us and said, "No he didn't. The reason why he didn't is because he said good-bye before he left. He also tried to apologies for what happen at the party. But I never blamed him for any of it. Rose if you noticed you weren't given as much of the pain as Emmett was. For the same reason. We weren't close. But Emmett and I were. So him not saying good-bye hurt more then you know.

"Alright. This isn't going to be easy and Jasmine isn't going to be manipulating the emotions in the room and Jasper I would like for you not to either," Jasper just gave a small nod to that request. And Bella went on to say, "So After you guys left, Edward was distant with me. He didn't go to school the next day, after school Jasmine came back to my house with me and he was waiting for me. He wanted to talk to me so Jasmine went inside and we went away from the house. We were right inside the tree line. He went on to tell me that everyone was leaving."

She took another deep breath and then went on to say, "That he was tired of pretending to be something he's not. That we didn't belong together. That I don't belong in his world. After everything that happened it only showed him that I didn't. If I truly belonged then I wouldn't constantly be putting myself in danger. That I almost died last spring and the night of my party because I was only human. He can't always be around to protect me. That I am constantly doing things around him that puts my life at risk and he was tired of always having to restrain himself. He was tired of always having to be careful around me.

"That he didn't want me. He even went on to say, 'Don't you get it? I am done pretending that I like you. That I want out. You are no good for me. I thought I loved you but I don't. I need to move on. And so does the rest of the family. People are starting to suspect us. Carlisle is pretending to be three years older then what he truly is and people are starting to notice. You won't be seeing any of us ever again. It will be like we never existed."

When she stopped to take another breath the low growling in the room got louder. How could he have said all of that shit to her? Did he ever really care about her was it all just an act. Was the only thing that drawled him to her the scent of her blood? Was it all just a test to see if he could resist the call of her blood? To just prove how much stronger he was then the rest of us.

Jasper POV

As Bella was telling us everything that Edward had said to her the day he left I couldn't believe it. How could her hurt like that? How could he be so heartless. I felt everyone's anger. Well everyone but Bella, Angela, Ben and Jasmine's that is. But my anger was starting to outweigh everyone's.

But I noticed that the angrier that I got the closer that Bella got to me. When she stopped talking and took another breath I pulled her onto my lap. Don't ask me why I did that but I did. She didn't fight me and moved willingly. But it calmed me. Before she started talking again I wrapped her in my arms. She didn't flinch. She went on to say, "He even had the nerve to ask me not to do anything stupid or reckless that he was only thinking of Charlie. Then he leaned in and kissed me on the forehead.

"I had closed my eyes because I couldn't believe that he was really going to leave. When I opened them and he was gone I chased after him. I ran into the forest. The only thing that did was make the pain that much worse. I got lost and couldn't find my way back home. I knew that Jasmine was going to be worried about me. I fell a few times but the last time that I feel I just couldn't get up. It hurt too much to really do anything. So I just laid there.

"I don't know how long I was out in the woods like that. It was dark and had started to rain again. And I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up some time later I could hear people looking for me. But I couldn't answer their calls. Honestly I didn't want to. But Sam found me. The first thing he asked me was 'Did he hurt you?' and at the time I didn't understand why he asked that. And not are you hurt. When I didn't answer he just picked me up and brought me back to the house.

"I really didn't talk to anyone. I was there but only in body. Jasmine stayed by my side the entire time. Charlie would try to talk to me but I never said a word. He would look to Jasmine and she would only shrug her shoulders. I could see what my behavior was doing to him, but I just couldn't snap out of it. I didn't want to. I thought my life was over. I also saw what it was doing to Jasmine. Everything that happened affected her more than anyone else. "

At that part Jasmine gave a small laugh and said, "You could say that again."

Bella just looked at her and said, "It was mid January when you pushed me out of my numb state. I couldn't figure out why you wanted to go to First Beach. And then when you just walked to the same fallen tree. I was pissed. I didn't want to think about the Cullen's and you were forcing me to do just that. But then you basically slapped me in the face with your words. Telling me 'You need to snap out of this. I know you are in pain right now but you need to stop acting like a child. You and Edward weren't meant to be. You are meant for another,'

"I wanted to slap you right then. I couldn't believe that you would think you knew how I was feeling. That you would say something like that to me. I even told you that you had no idea what I was going through. But when you said that you heard everything that he said, I was shocked. I didn't know what to think then. But when you told me that it was killing you that you couldn't run out there to me and stop him from saying what he did. That it killed you even more that you couldn't go after me when I started to run after him.

"Because you knew that Sam had to be the one to find. Then you reminded me that I really didn't know anything about you. And you were right. I didn't know. But when you brought up the fact that Doucheward got so frustrated because he could never get into my head. That got my attention. But you continued to throw your punches. Telling me that you could hear every thought I had. When you told me 'You want to kill yourself right now. Go right ahead. Here's a razor blade to do so. I won't stop you and neither will anyone else,' and gave me the razor blade I didn't think you being serous."

Everyone in the room growled at that last part. How could Jasmine of done that. I just looked at Jasmine and yelled, "What the fuck were you thinking giving her a razor blade and telling her to go ahead and kill herself like that?"

She just looked at me and said, "I only did what needed to be done. Just listen to the rest of what B has to say Major before you even think about yelling at me again."

Bella turned her head and looked at me and said, "Jasper as you can see I am perfectly fine so don't yell at her like that again." She then looked at everyone else in the room and said, "And you guys all need to keep your growls down as well. You don't know why she did what she did."

Everyone in the room just hung their heads. Bella took another deep breath and continued, "Ben asked Jasmine the same question. Well he didn't so much ask as yelled at her. Jasmine just yelled right back telling he that he didn't know what the fuck was going on yet and to stay out of it. So I took the razor blade and dragged it across my left wrist. As soon as I made the cut it appeared on Jasmine in the same exact place as well.

"As soon as I saw that I stopped. I had only just started to drag the blade across my skin. So no real damage was done to either of us. And all Jasmine said to me then was see what killing yourself will do. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The razor never touched her skin only mine. But she was bleeding just like I was."

"It was the only way to make you understand at the time. What that thinking would have done to both of us," Jasmine said.

Em just looked at Jasmine and said, "So knowing that you would also get injured you still told her to do it?"

"Yes," was all she said.

Bella gave a small laugh and said, "She does a lot of things knowing that in the end she is going to be the one that gets hurt."

I was confused by that statement so I had to ask, "What does that mean?"

Bella just looked at Jasmine. Jasmine gave a small nod and Bella went on to say, "After the razor blade Jasmine went on to tell us that everything we did know about her was a lie. She told us her story. And by telling us her story she knew that Jacob was going to get pissed. He didn't think that I was ready to know. He thought that I still needed more time. He lost control and phased to close to Jasmine. The scars on the left side of her body are from him."

"I'm gonna kill him," I hissed.

"You will do no such thing. I knew what I was doing when I step foot on the Rez that day. It was going to happen one way or another. So you will not do anything about it. Uncle listen to me. We all do things that we have to in order to survive. This," she pointed to the left side of her body, "is no different. We can't change what is meant to be. It's a losing battle if you try too. So you can be pissed all you want. But be pissed at me, not Jacob. I knew that he was losing control and I still pushed him," Jasmine said from her place leaning against the wall.

"You really do have no care for your own life do you?" I asked her.

"I guess you'll never know," she said as she pushed off the wall and walked out the back door. We all just watched her walk out without saying a word.

Bella looked at me again and just said, "You really suck at being an uncle. I mean what the fuck were you thinking saying that to her. You are just as bad as Paul. But the only difference is what you are doing is hurting her so much more than anything Paul has ever done."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Rose asked.

"What that means Rosalie is that Jasmine has been keeping Paul at distance one because he has a problem with you guys and all vampires, and two because of what might happen to her," Ben said.

"Wait what are you talking about?" I asked.

"You really didn't listen to a thing she has said," Angela said. Then she looked at Emmett and Rose and said, "That is her story to tell you. And she will. But right now she is pissed at Jasper."

"Major you really stepped in it now," Peter said as he got up from his seat and headed out the back door. Right as he hit the thrash hold he said, "Major I would man up right now and get your ass out here."

I looked to Bella, Angela and Ben, and asked, "Do you know what is going on?"

All three of them shook their heads 'no'. But Bella was the one to say, "She's blocking all of us. But I can tell you if she is trying to block me then it isn't going to be good."

With that said everyone got up and head out the back door. I was the last one out of the door and saw a very pissed off Jasmine. She didn't look at anyone but me. Once her eyes meet mine she only said two words, "Come here."

Rosalie POV

When Bella was telling us about what happened the day after we all left I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that Edward would be so heartless. But I could hear the honesty in her words. And then to also feel a little of how she felt. It was agony. And I only had a little taste of it. I didn't want to think about what Emmybear felt. Because Bella said that he got hit with a stronger dose of it but it still wasn't the full force of how she felt.

Edward never deserved Bella. And she never deserved to be treated the way she was by me and defiantly didn't deserve to ever be made to feel like she was worthless. I am glad that Jasmine was there for her when none of us were. But as Bella continued to tell her story I couldn't help but wonder what Jasmine got out of all of this. And then when Bella told us that Jasmine told her to go ahead and kill herself I lost it.

A growl of protectiveness came out. How could Jasmine just tell Bella to give up? But once we all quieted back down and Bella continued I understand why. I also understand why Bella had cut herself earlier. Bella and Jasmine really were connected. How the fuck did that happen? And what the fuck was Jasmine's story?

But when Jasper asked Jasmine, "You really do have no care for your own life do you?" I could feel a shift in the air.

You could see it in Jasmine's eyes and her words left no room for misunderstanding when she said, "I guess you'll never know."

I was so confused by Jasper's interaction with her and Bella. I didn't really know what to think. I mean we were told that Jasper is Jasmine's uncle and then he is acting like him and Bella have something going on. But I don't see how that can be. Jasper never said more than two words to Bella. But yet he's pulled her into his arms and onto his lap.

But I was snapped out of that thought when Bella said, "You really suck at being an uncle. I mean what the fuck were you thinking saying that to her. You are just as bad as Paul. But the only difference is what you are doing is hurting her so much more than anything Paul has done."

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"What that means Rosalie is that Jasmine has been keeping Paul at distance one because he has a problem with you guys and all vampires, and two because of what might happen to her," Ben said. I couldn't believe that Ben was even talking to any of us and not either scared to death or trying to move away from all of us. He seemed so calm. I had to wonder if Jasper wasn't manipulating some of the emotions in the room.

"Wait what are you talking about?" Jasper asked.

"You really didn't listen to a thing she has said," Angela said to Jasper. Then she looked at Emmett and me and said, "That is her story to tell you. And she will. But right now she is pissed at Jasper."

"Major you really stepped in it now," Peter said as he got up from his seat and headed out the back door. Right as he hit the thrash hold he said, "Major I would man up right now and get your ass out here now."

I didn't really pay attention to what else was said. But just got up to see what Jasmine was doing outside. But once we all stepped outside and she just told Jasper, "Come here." I really wanted to know what the fuck she was playing at. She was calling Jasper out. She had lost her mind.

I had to stop this insanity. I mean I know I really didn't know Jasmine but she was only human she couldn't be calling out a vampire. Especially not Jasper. He would kill her. I just yelled, "Jasmine have you lost your mind? What do you think you are going to accomplish by doing this? You're going to get yourself hurt."

But she just ignored what I said. She kept her eyes on Jasper and said, "You have to choices Major. You can submit willing or you can be forced into submission. But one way or the other you will be submitting to me. You have no clue about me. You think you know me but you don't. Yes I would give my life to protect those I love. It is the same thing that you would do. But yet you say I don't care for my own life.

"Did I want to be covered in all of these scars Fuck No. But I am and each scar that I have is a reminder of what I have done and what I need to do. Just as your scars are a reminder to you. I have made peace with what I have to do in order to keep those I love safe. Everything that I do I have thought out. I don't go into a situation blindly. Like you are thinking that I do.

"I have watched my entire blood line get murdered and I couldn't stop it. The only true blood family I have left are vampires. And my soul mate can't stand them. So you tell me Uncle do I give a shit about my life if I am standing up to my soul mate trying to get him to at least be able to be in the same area as my family?"

"You keep pushing him away. So why would it matter if he can be respectful to us?" Jasper yelled back at her.

"Jasper you still don't get it," Bella yelled from behind him.

Jasper turned to look at Bella and asked, "What am I missing then?"

"She would give up her soul mate in order to keep her family. She would sacrifice her happiness because her family is more important to her," Angela said.

But I could tell that Ben wasn't having any of this. He just looked at Jasmine and said, "Jasmine Evangeline Annabelle Whitlock for once in your life you need to be selfish and stop putting others before yourself. Don't give Jasper the choice just hand him his ass and be done with it."

As soon as Ben got his last word out a ring of fire went up around Jasmine and Jasper. Emmett and I both jumped back. But no one else moved. "What the fuck?" I yelled. But no one answered me. I looked around at everyone but all of their eyes were on the tree line. Where four women and one man were standing.

One of the women answered my question, "That is a barrier of protection so that none of you get hurt by what will happen."

I looked back at the others and they all had confused looks on their faces. But when I looked at Jasper and Jasmine I noticed that Jasmine had her head bowed to all of them. Emmett noticed this as well and asked, "Jasmine do you know who these people are?"

But she didn't answer she didn't even move. She just stayed how she was. Another of the women said, "Daughter why haveyou not answered the question?"

Jasmines POV

My only response to that question was the truth, "Because I am waiting for permission to speak. All five of you wouldn't have come here tonight if I was not in trouble." I knew that the sisters wanted to talk to me but for Ares to be with them I had to be in some type of trouble.

I could feel Gia's eyes on me and knew I was right when she said, "Daughter I told you last night that my sister's and I wanted to talk to you all of you. You are not in trouble. Your actions where understandable and just. We could never be angry with you. You have done nothing but what has been asked of you."

I still didn't move. I couldn't bring myself to look at any of them. I know it was irrational but I couldn't help it. I felt like the little girl I was. I was brought out of my mussing when Ares said, "I am not here because you have done something wrong. I am here because you are taking your rightful place as a warrior. This is the second in your mixed family that you have given the option of fighting you or not. To where others would have just fought. I have kept an eye on you just as my sisters have. But I have never made my presence known."

I couldn't keep silent. I had to tell him so I looked at him and said, "You're wrong."

His sisters all gave a laugh at his confused face. Athena looked at him and said, "She has always been able to tell when we are around her. You may not have shown yourself to her but she always knew you were there by her side. But Ares you also shouldn't lie to her. Tell her the real reason why you are here tonight."

"I gave my reason," was all he said.

Athena then turned to look at me and said, "He did give you one reason but that is not the main one. He is here because you are taking on the God of War. And he is not sure of the outcome of this fight. Even though we know what it shall be he does not want to believe us but see it with his own eyes. For he thinks that what we say can't come to pass."

"And what is it that you see happening?" Emmett asked.

"My child we cannot tell you of the outcome since she has given her uncle the choice. He must chose his fate first by accepting one of her offers. For he has already seen what she is capable of doing in a fight," Hecate told him.

"And how dose Jasper already know what she can do in a fight?" Rosalie asked completely confused by everything that is going on.

Everyone just turned to look at Peter. Peter just bowed his head and said, "Because she has already handed me my ass. She did so in front of Jasper and Char. I was cocky in thinking that with all of my years fighting in the Vampire Wars that there was no way a little girl could take me down."

"I know that she can fight. She has proven that in killing Maria. But I don't see her taking down the God of War. He has had more years in fighting and using his gift," Ares said.

"Brother if you think that she can't take down the God of War then why don't you fight her?" Nyx asked.

"That won't be needed. I will not willing submit. Jasmine I told you this already. I do not submit to anyone. Same rules as when you fought Peter. You may use the agiles. But nothing else," Jasper said looking right at me.

"Fine. I will even let you use your gift. It would only make the fight fair," I told.

"What do you mean Jasmine can't use any of her gifts. Jasper have you lost your mind she is only a human. You are going to kill her if you fight her," Emmett yelled at him.

I watched as Bella walked over to him and said, "Em Jasmine isn't a human. Peter just told you that she kicked his ass. How could she be a human and do that? Just trust her and watch what happens."

Emmett just looked at me then and said, "Why would you agree to not use any of your gifts but let him?"

I gave a small laugh and said, "Because it's how the Major fights. And it's the Major that I am calling out. Not the Jasper that you know, but the God of War."

"Enough," Jasper yelled. And when I turned to look at him I no longer saw Jasper but the Major. And he was ready to fight. To show that no one could take him down.

As we were just staring at each other Peter said, "You know how the winner will be known. You have to make the kill by placing your lips on the others neck."

"No," Ares said. We all turned to look at him and he went on to say, "Blood has to be taken the bite mark will show the winner. Understood?"

Both the Major and I said, "Yes."

And with that all eyes were back on us. I cleared out everything that was around me. The only thing that mattered to me right now was who was right in front of me. And the person in front of me was no longer my uncle or even a friend. He was the enemy. And I showed him no mercy.

Emmett POV

I couldn't believe this. Who the hell were these people and why the hell was Jasper agreeing to fight his niece like this? But then again what in the fuck was she thinking that she could even take him on in a fight. I don't care if she did hand Peter his ass. That might have just been a fluke. Jasper was the one that trained Peter and he has been fighting longer then Peter and definitely longer then she has.

But she didn't back down. She kept her eyes on him and just waited to see what he was going to do. And she didn't have to wait long. Because the first thing that he did was send out a huge wave of fear. But as soon as I felt it it was gone. I looked at the others and they all had a look of confusion to match mine.

Ares looked at all of us and said, "For now you won't be effect by what he throws at her. But once the fight is over everything will go back to normal."

"Who the fuck are you?" I hissed to him.

"Emmett," Bella hissed at me.

I just looked at her and asked, "What?"

She just shook her head and said, "For as long as you have been playing a high school student did you really never pay attention in your history classes. Greek mythology the Greek Gods. Come on Emmett. Ares is the God of War. Gia is Mother Nature. Hecate is the queen of witches. Athena is the goddess of war and wisdom. And Nyx is the goddess of the night or vampires if you will."

"And how do you know all of this. Yeah we've all learned about them in history class but how do you know what they look like?" Rose asked her.

"Because this is not the first time that we have seen Gaia. And she told us that her sisters wanted to talk to all of us," Angela said without taking her eyes off of Jasmine and Jasper.

Ben looked at Bella and asked, "Why isn't she doing anything?"

"You know how she fights. We just need to see how this will all end. But I have a feeling that the outcome is going to be something that no one will expect," Bella said.

With that we all turned back to the fight that was really not a fight at all but just two people circling each other.

NO ONES POV FIGHT

They circled each other neither saying a word. Jasper thought that he would be able to get the upper hand by sending out a huge wave of fear to Jasmine. But it did nothing to her. She just absorbed it and continued to look right into his eyes. He was getting frustrated now. No one has been able to withstand his gift. But like she had told him she wasn't like everyone else.

In his frustration he lunged for her left side. But she was ready for that. She just moved a half inch to her right and as he was passing her she wasted no time in striking his back with both of her agiles. The stink of the agiles pissed of the beast within Jasper and the Major took over.

He stopped thinking of what to do next and just acted. But he was always a step behind Jasmine. Every move he made resulted in be hit by one of the agiles. She was even able to get a few good kicks in. But nothing that she was able to do did any really damage.

But with every hit that the Major landed on Jasmine was shown. The Major finally gained the upper hand in the fight when he dislocated her right shoulder. But she still landed more blows but nothing to get him off of her. As he leaned in for the kill she was leaning up for the kill as well.

No one was able to see who was the winner. The ring of fire was obscuring everyone's view. It wasn't until Ares let the flames dissipate that they were able to see that….
