Two weeks later Izzy POV

Blood. Blood. Never enough. I need more. Jasper. Mate. Love. Confusion. Ache. Hurt. He's not here. Where is he? Ache. This isn't him. Stranger. Have to stay with him, to save Jasper. So confused. So much. Sensations. Confused. "Isabella" that voice, not my Jasper's. It was close enough. "Isabella..." he chuckled "My my, you're so easily distracted, aren't you?" I nodded, numb. It's the answer he wants, and he controls the blood. "Let's go hunting, hmm?" he extends a hand, and I take it, wrong. It feels wrong. I bite back a growl, I need this man.

He pulls us along, through the dank, Dark hallways of the abandoned home we're living in. It smells funny, and the air is full of dust motes. Swirling, swerving pretty dust motes floating through the air an- THWACK. "Isabella. Hunting. Come on" he tugs at my hand and I start moving again, keeping my eyes down to the floor. He gets mad if I look him in the eye. I walk along behind him until we get to a door with a beating heart behind it, we halt there and he turns to me "Isabella, you can go in there and feed, I'll wait out here." I nod again, my mind already on the flesh red blood, a liquid life force flowing through the veins of the person in the room.

Jasper POV

"So am I getting this right?" I ask, throwing the diamond bladed dagger into the cork board in the planning room at Maria's house in Forks, we're all gathered around the table "Jacob imprinted on Maria. Maria was meant to change Jackson, and not me, so now Jackson is out to ruin my life, so now that I've found my mate, he's taken her as the ultimate act of revenge, he trusted Maria because he thought she was under his control, her probably trusts her no more, but that's not important for now. Then Maria found Peter and Charlotte, told them this story, and then you all came to find me, so we could find Isabella and Jackson?" they all nodded. I let my head drop onto the table and growled.

"We've only been searchin' four weeks major, don't you be worrryin' just yet 'bout doll face, she's tougher than she looks" Peter said, patting my shoulder "We can find her, Jasper." Charlotte promised in her soft melodic tone "We just gotta think smarter" Maria added, determination setting in her features. I gathered up the emotions of her, positive, fighting, determined. I gathered it all up and spread it through the room, giving a piece to everyone. Everyone sighed "You'll wanna remember that feeling sugar snap, we'll want it later on" Charlotte smiled I nod mutely, clutching at my chest when a sharper pain runs through it "Scumbag hittin' her again, major?"

I growled out a nod and ran outside, to the forest at the back to punch out some trees. My Izzy. Going through this crap because of me. I could have got rid of all three of them, but he said Izzy, and I got scared. I've not been scared in years and just the mention of someone hurting her has me terrified.

Peter pov

I jump out of my chair as Charlotte runs to calm down Jasper, and walk up to Maria, I grab her throat and pull her up to my eye level, leaving her feet dangling off the floor "Tell us why we should trust you" she bites her lip and puts a hand on Jacobs arm to stop him from moving "You should trust me" she starts with a shaky breath "Because I'm just as hurt as you are." She looked up at me and I could see it in her eyes, the hurt, betrayal, I didn't need any more words. I nodded and dropped her to the floor. Betrayed or not, she didn't deserve my sympathy.

I rushed outside to find Jasper being rocked back and fourth by Charlotte, she looked over at me and that one glance killed me. The look in her eyes. If there's one thing my Char hates it's seeing people in pain and being powerless to help. "You go back inside honey pie, I'll help him out" I say, kissing her on the cheek as she sets Jasper on his feet and runs off. "Alright then Major, up on your feet, she was just a girl, plenty of them in the sea, as they say" I drawl out, leaning against a tree and feigning dis-interest in the matter "Just a girl?" he yells, jumping at me, tackling me to the ground and punching my jaw "I'll give you just a girl!" he hits my stomach "SHE IS NOT JUST A GIRL! SHE IS THE GIRL! I LOVE HER AND SHE'S GONE! GONE PETER! SO HELP ME GOD I WILL DO ANYTHING I CAN TO GET HER BACK, WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR HELP!" I grin and push him off me "Atta boy, gotta get that fightin' talk in ya' don't sit around here mopin', do somethin' bout it ya' dipstick, plan an' attack"

He chuckles and punches me again "Jackass." He mumbles, before walking inside, turning round to give me the finger and grin.

I shake my head and run a hand through my hair "Somthin' tells me doll won't be super duper exited 'bout him findin' her" I whisper, half hoping he might hear me, but he doesn't. I punch out a tree he missed and sigh, reaching into my back pocket and pulling out a picture of the four of us from when we first met Izzy, there's something odd in her eyes, like some kind of caged madness that she doesn't know is there. Like me and Char saw in our own eyes when we first became this. Caged insanity never allowed to roam free, will one day ruin us all. I'm terrified for that day, because if she's hurtin' like Jasper, it's gonna be soon, and it's gonna be explosively wicked.

(Finally! Happy summer holidays everyone! ^_^)
