Major

She fucking ripped Maria apart and made her suffer while doing so. If I wasn't all for killing her I'd have been in awe of that feat.

I don't know what the fuck she thought she was doing when she was put in that blue shit with me. She was talented I'd give her that, but there was no way in hell she was going to beat me.

I let her speak not really paying attention to whatever words were said. They were the truth I could feel that, but they wouldn't change the outcome any. I'd kill her and then her family no matter what she said.

I was going to just make it quick. I was tired of doing nothing and was all for ripping her head off quickly to get her out of my damn way. I'd even be nice and use her lighter since she was nice enough to give it to me.

I never expected the hand on my chest though. The touch did not send a shock through me like Maria's did, instead her touch was worse. All the words I'd heard in my head when I touched it played on repeat at warp speed. I hated hearing them when I touched it, but when she caused them it pissed me off so much more. I had to make her stop. I couldn't rip her head off while this was in my head. It seemed wrong somehow. She wouldn't listen when I told her to stop so I just ripped off her arms. The voice went away as quickly as it had come, relief flooding my body because of it.

Taking her head in my hands I started to twist. I didn't listen to what she said. I was paying attention to the ones outside the blue light. One was yelling at Bree and I realized for the first time she was there in the clearing. Maria had been right about her going to them after all. I'd let her live because of her age and bravery though. As long as she didn't try to attack me that is.

They were yelling at someone named Daniel now too. I needed to finish this so I could deal with them, if only to get them all to shut the fuck up.

Filling her head separate from her body I watched as it slumped to the ground, the legs still twitching slightly. I smiled and set the head down. Turning to find the lighter the blue light disappeared. Fuck I needed to get it quickly. Ghosting over to it I reached down only to drop to my knees when my vision blurred slightly. Shaking my head I closed my eyes not sure what the hell had happened.

When I opened them back up my eyes were clear and I grabbed the lighter off the ground. Standing up I moved with a purpose. No one came at me and I didn't even wonder why. I had a job to do and I would do it.

Reaching the arms first I flicked the lighter and set the flame against the exposed venom. When they were burning I moved onto her body. It caught fire quickly and I watched for a few seconds as it burned. The head was last. Instead of putting the flame to the venom I lit the ends of her hair. I watched as it licked up the strands before finally engulfing the whole thing.

As it started to crumble into ashes everything went black.

Jasper

"NO, NO, NO!" I screamed out as the blackness left my sight. My thoughts were out of control. What the fuck did I just do? I killed my Bella. I ripped her apart and then burnt her. No. I kept shaking my head trying to get the image of her out of my mind. With my head bowed I gripped my hair in my hands realizing I was holding something. Looking down I saw the lighter and I flung it away as I tried to get away from it as quickly as I could. I was already on the ground and using my hands I dragged myself backwards, flinching when I ran into someone's hard body.

"Jazz, stop. It's Peter."

I shook my head trying to clear the image of Bella burning from my mind. "I killed her." I said it over and over again, not listening to anything he tried to say to me.

I didn't stop until a hard slap landed across my cheek. Bringing my eyes up I found Charlotte kneeling in front of me with an apologetic look. She opened her mouth to speak, but I only heard Carlisle yelling.

"Animals, as many as all of you can find. Hurry."

I heard the whooshing as many vampires ran from the clearing. Glancing to the side I saw Bree lying on the ground in Esme's arms. God did I hurt her too?

"No," Charlotte answered and I realized I'd said the last part out loud. "Do you remember her?"

"Yes, I remember everything. Oh god Charlotte I killed Bella." I said breaking down in sobs.

"No you didn't." She said.

"I did, I watched her burn. What the fuck did I do?"

"Jasper stop. You didn't burn her. It's not what you think."

"I did. I did."

"No, we'll explain later, but right now just look." Charlotte said turning my head.

Before I could find what she was wanting me to see I heard it. "Jasper, baby." It was raspy and pain filled, but the most amazing sound I'd ever heard.

Whipping my body around I found her immediately and the sight almost killed me. Carlisle was leaning over her holding her left arm in place, waiting for it to fuse. Her head was still leaking venom while it fused the rest of the way onto her neck and her right arm was lying beside him. I didn't even stand, instead choosing to crawl over to her as fast as I could.

When I made it to her I took her head gently in my hands and laid it in my lap.

"God baby I'm so sorry."

"No, it's not your fault," She said wincing when Carlisle moved onto her other arm.

"I did this to you."

"It wasn't you. Please just…" She stopped with a hiss.

"What baby?" I asked running my hands through her hair.

"Let me just look at you. I missed you so much Jasper."

She lifted her left arm, even though I knew it pained her to do so, and cupped my cheek with her hand. I leaned into her touch and whispered, 'I'm sorry."

"I love you." Was her response and it made me feel worse, but I said it back knowing that's what she wanted to hear. How could she love me after what I'd done?

She didn't say anything else as she ran her fingers across my cheek and then under my eyes. I knew they were bright red since I'd fed yesterday. Closing them so she wouldn't have to see the color anymore I waited for her disappointment.

"I don't blame you." She whispered.

"You should. I wasn't strong enough to fight what she did."

"No one could have fought that son." Carlisle said bringing my eyes to him as he finished with Bella's other arm.

"But…"

"No." Carlisle said cutting me off. "You are back with us and are safe. That is all that matters. The rest is forgotten already."

I nodded even though I would never forget what I had done.

"Okay. I can hear the others returning with the animals. Can you help her feed while I check on Bree?"

"Of course." I said looking back down at Bella and running my fingers through her hair. "Is Bree okay?"

"Yes. Using her gift for the first time took a lot of her strength. She just needs to feed and she'll be fine."

"Her gift?"

"We'll explain at the hotel. Right now Bella needs blood." He said as Emmett dropped three deer by my side and Rose followed with a mountain lion.

Carlisle ghosted over to Esme and Bree where Edward and Lexie were setting down their own haul.

Rose crouched down beside me and said, "I can help her Jasper if you want to feed as well."

"I'm not thirsty now." I whispered reaching for the mountain lion and averting my eyes from her. Tearing the fur from the throat I raised Bella's head and moved the lion closer to her mouth. She latched on immediately and drained it dry. I threw it to the side and pulled one of the deer to me, followed by the other two as well. When the third one was drained Bella sat up and turned, throwing her arms around my neck and held onto me tightly, whispering her love for me over and over again.

She stayed locked around me until Carlisle came over once again.

"If you are ready, we can return to the hotel now."

Bella stood and pulled me up with her. I swept her up in my arms and moved toward the rest of the family as they gathered on the edge of the trees. Bree was also being held, but I didn't know by who.

Sensing my confusion Bella whispered. "That's Felix; he's from the Volturi guard. The other two are Demetri and Heidi."

I nodded as we started to run. While we flew threw the trees Bella told me what had happened from the time I ran from that field a month ago up until this morning. I couldn't believe she'd gone to Italy and New Orleans just to help me. I didn't deserve her.

The only thing she couldn't tell me was what Bree's gift was since apparently that is what made me snap out of the spell. We would find that out soon though since we were five minutes from the hotel according to Alice.

Once everyone had made it to Carlisle and Esme's room we settled around to hear what had happened.

"Eleazar I think you're the best one to tell us, since you started yelling first." Carlisle said.

Eleazar slid forward on the chair he was sitting in and started to speak. "I felt her gift when Jasper pulled Bella's arms off." I flinched at his words and he said, "Sorry," before continuing. "I was telling her what to do; praying that it would work because she'd never used it and didn't even know about it until I said something. It didn't seem to work and that's when I yelled at Daniel. She couldn't get through his shield. I was to late to realize that because the next thing happened, but Daniel got it dropped before anything else came about. I told Bree what to do again and thankfully it worked."

"Yes, but what did she do?" Bella asked.

"She made Jasper think he burned you. She can implant thoughts into someone's head and then it's like a movie plays until the thought is over and they think whatever they saw happened."

"Why didn't we think about doing that before? Can't Alec dos something like that?" Emmett asked.

"No," The one named Demetri answered. "He cuts off all senses and all you see is darkness. The closest we've ever seen to something like this is Zafrina, a vampire from the Amazon."

"Yes," Eleazar said coming back in. "Hers is slightly different than Bree's though. Zafrina's gift is an illusion, but you are still able to retain the knowledge that what you are seeing isn't real. Once it's over you are completely aware of where you are and what's going on. Bree's gift seems real and that it is happening at that moment. I'll use myself and Carmen as an example. Zafrina could make Carmen see us having an argument where Bree would be able to make her think we did. When she snapped out of Bree's gift she would still be mad at me until things were explained. If it was Zafrina she would be fine."

"Wow." Emmett said looking over at Bree in wonder. "Would Zafrina's gift have worked?"

"No, he would have known it wasn't real the whole time and would still have the anger afterwards."

Everyone nodded in understand, but there was one thing I needed to know so I asked, "If Bree's gift hadn't of worked, what would have happened?" I looked to Bella as I felt her shift beside me. "What?"

"I would have done what needed to be done to get you back to this family." She said and I felt her remorse. I didn't understand what she meant until I felt her love as well.

My eyes grew wide as I answered my own question, "You would have let me burn you for real."

Venom pooled in her eyes as she nodded slowly.

I stood up quickly, shaking my head. "Why….you…" I couldn't even finish my thought.

I flew into the bedroom, shutting the door behind me. Moving over to the farthest corner I slid down the wall, drawing my knees up to my chest and burying my head in them. .

She would have sacrificed herself for me. Why would she even think for a second that would be something I would have wanted her to do? I didn't deserve that kind of love.

"Jasper?" My head snapped up to find Bella standing in the doorway and the room empty behind her. When I didn't say anything she stepped forward and shut the door. "Please talk to me."

"Why would you have done that?" I asked.

"Because you're worth it." She said coming over to kneel in front of me. "You are my husband and I love you. Nothing else in this world is more important to me than you and if I had to die to keep you safe then I would."

We stared at each other for what seemed like hours. She kept up a steady stream of love, sending it to me as we sat there on the floor. I sent mine back to her, but couldn't stop the regret and guilt from slipping in there as well. She finally moved forward and took my face in between her tiny hands.

"I love you Jasper Whitlock. You are my life and nothing will ever change that. I will do whatever I can to help you get through this. Please let me. Please."

She kept saying please over and over again while moving her head forward. She didn't even stop when our lips met, just kept whispering it over and over again. My arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her into my lap. Her legs and arms locked around me. She pulled back to rest her forehead against mine and her caramel eyes stared into my red ones without judgment. All they held was unconditional love and I knew that I had to do whatever I could to move on from everything. I would do it for her because just as I was her life, she was mine.

Okay people. I hope this makes up for the last one. However, don't get complacent with how this ended. Next chapter will show that as much as Jasper wants to move on for Bella, things are going to be easier said than done. Next one will move the story to a month later and will be in Bella's point of view.

I hope I explained Bree's gift okay. Please let me know.
