"She found out two years ago, the curse waits until the person is perfectly happy and then it kills them from the inside how ever the person who makes them happy would. You made her happy, she was okay with dying after she met you, as long as you would except her as she was, she would be happy to die, so she is dying, how all of you died, she's dying like she is being turned, but for longer, sometimes coming and sometimes going, she only has five days to live." Peter said.

She was dying; and it was all my fault.

Time of dying?

Edward stared at the painfully tortured soul of a former best friend wriggle on the sofa from a pain caused by a curse placed on her by a witch because she saved his life. He couldn't believe that he had been so ignorant of the fact, that it had taken him this long to realize this. Carlisle had been the one to hear her calls of plead; Carlisle had been the one she had helped in his cause; his cause to save people. He couldn't stand here and watch her in pain, to hear everyone's thoughts of despair; he had to leave, and now.

But how could he just pick up and leave without looking like a heartless dick? He knew that everyone thought he hated her for not being his mate and not being the person he thought she was. Hell she wasn't even the being he had thought that she was.

But if he didn't leave now, when he would have less painful memories of her life, he wouldn't be able to think about his best friend the same way again. He needed to leave to get to know his mate better as well, he had waited long enough, too much time had passed without her by his side. Half a century was far too long.

"Rose, I know it's a bad time, but I need to go, I can't think of her this way if she dies. It as bad enough last time. Bella and I need to be alone, to be ourselves; I'm your nieces mate." Edward told Rose, she nodded, not at all shocked about this new information that finally left Edwards mouth.

"It was quite obvious from the beginning that you were her mate as soon as she came into our lives she changed you, even if you didn't know it. Now go, don't make a scene, go to our house in Dallas and stay there unless it's absolutely necessary. Alice said it would be a good idea to have a house in Dallas, seems she was right again." Rose told them him before Edward went over to Bella, whispering something in her ear and threw her arms around him in a silent happiness before letting him lead her out of the house.

"If you hurt her, I will kill you." Rose warned him as he left with Bella, Edward nodded in understanding.

Alice trudged over to Rosalie in an unlike Alice way, though all together Alice didn't trudge. "Why did it have to be this way, he deserved to be happy. Not momentarily happy but forever happy with his mate, and I have no idea how to save her." Alice whispered, low enough for only her and Rosalie to hear.

The following day

Alice pov

It's been a day since Edward and Bella left, the suspense seems to be rising in the atmosphere, everyone's fear rising that it is completely and utterly impossible to save Jane from this curse. No one wanted to be the one to say it, but by almost everyone's facial expressions, I cold tell that it's what they were thinking.

Jasper paced around the room, feeling everyone's emotions, only stopping when the pain stopped briefly during the night, Jane and him spoke alone for a while, though we could all hear it.

**-* Flashback*-**

Jane opened her eyes, searching for someone who turned out to be Jasper as he turned his head to face her when he couldn't feel her pain anymore. "I wish to talk to Jane alone please," the family and I left as soon as the words left his mouth.

"How…Why didn't you tell me?" Jasper asked her, the movements coming to an end as we heard him slide down the sofa, probably in front of her. There was a cough sound before Jane spoke. "I couldn't ruin it. I'm sorry. I wanted to just hope that I might be able to be happy, even if it is only temporarily. I was selfish. I'm sorry, I shouldn't of let you to know me, to be happy when I knew you wolf have to feel like I was abandoning you, I wish we had more time to get to know of each other. You are different to what I imagined you would be." Jane confided in him, from where I was standing I could hear her sobbing, which pained Charlotte, who ran out of the back door from the kitchen to the garden. She was followed by Peter, Rosalie and Emmett.

The boys trying to calm their mates from the pain in their hearts- Jane hadn't been here for long, but I could tell if she died, in our family there would be a lot of people grieving.

"I hope it's in a good way ma'am." His accent fully coming out. Something I hadn't heard since I first met him in the bar. I heard a rough laugh from Jane. "Of course, could it be any different considering who you are." She did a sound that sounded like a dry sounding giggle, making me to retrieve a glass of water, leaving it on the table beside her and leaving as soon as possible, moving at vampire speed.

"God I love you!" he said, kissing her until she needed to breath causing her to take a deep breath in and back out until she was breathing steadily again. "I love you too!" she replied enthusiastically before saying. "It's coming back Jasper! I can feel it! I love you. Remember that, I'm so sorry, live life as well as you can and to the full, life's a gift, not something to waste. Be happy. Be there for Alice, she's a sweet girl and deserves to have at least a well trained brother to protect her." Jane told him.

"Don't! Don't talk like that. Don't talk like it's over, like you going to die." Jasper begged her, he couldn't take it if she died, he only just got her. "I will Jasper, there's only one way to take it back." Jane told him. "How? How can you take it back?" he asked impatiently. "A witch." Jane said before screaming in pain.

**-* end of flashback*-**

I moved to rest against the wall beside Rosalie on the floor, my eyes between Jasper and Jane while I felt the feeling of a vision fill my view.

"Can you do it or not?" yelled a man, a beautiful man, light curly hair, face of an angel, similarities with Jasper? Was he related to Jazz? He took in a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, can you help me sapphire?"

I need to save her, I need to save her so I can be with the woman I am meant to be with, my mate." He looked as if he was in pain of the thought of losing someone.

"I believe so, I should be ready soon, just let me get things ready and let me look in the books to check and I'll get you to the love of your existence." The witch said as he sat down on a seat at the edge of the room, away from her to not aggravate her or rush her more than needed.

"Jason, please, Sapphire, If I can call you by your first name, you should be able to do the same." He scolded, smirking and leaning back into the wall and closed his eyes.

"I think I'm in love!" he announced, sighing.

Jason Whitlock? Does he love Jane as well? It's not fair! When I want to find my mate, Jane finds two guys who love her and want to fight for her, to save her life. They are both in love with her. I shouldn't be mean, but I can't help it.

"Yes you can Alice, and Jane will choose Jasper, plus Jason probably didn't mean Jane, he probably meant some girl he loved, his mate, that isn't Jane because Jane is Jaspers mate not Jason's." Rose told her, annoyed that I could possibly say anything like that. Jane deserved to be happy- but at what cost? She wouldn't break Jaspers heart- would she?

I felt a strike of guilt when I saw the look on Jaspers face, he was heart broken. I had hurt the guy I had been with for decades, hurt my best friend's heart. What kind of person was I? I can't believe I said my worries out loud, how could I say something like that when we all know how he is? How could I hurt him so much with all he's been through?

"Jasper, I'm sorry, it's probably nothing, good side, Jane is probably going to survive." I told him, trying to make the pain I had caused to go away. Jasper shook his head. "She'll go with Jason, he's the better choice, I'll just hurt her." he sadly confided in me. "Don't let me hear that! Don't let Jane hear that! Don't give up so easily, you are a good man Jasper and she loves you, not Jason!" I tried one last time. He still looked pained from what I had said before hand. I sighed and left. I couldn't see him in pain, to see him in pain when I was the one to cause it.

Emmett pov

Why did Alice have to say that? She knows how Jasper is about himself, the scars, his personality and looks, hence why he sticks his head in civil war books! Jane seemed to bring that out of him, to take him out of his shell, to make him the strong man he needs to be to protect his mate. He is insecure as it is, but Jane loved everything about him, she said herself (heard from Peter) that she admired his fighting skills, his ability to lead and take control, which could be quite a turn on in the bedroom. She could make him the guy that he needs to be to not only not harm humans, but to be the strong guy he used to be.

I looked over to Peter who was whispering back and forth to Charlotte, I'm surprised Jasper couldn't hear them, but he's probably too worried about his girl being taken from him.

"Peter you have to do something, please, I can't stand to see him like this over her that she might not want to be with him. She will, you know her well, you can tell him that she wont leave him, that even before they met, it was obvious that would at least get along fine." Charlotte pestered him.

"Why can't you?"

"Because he's your 'brother'!" she moaned, she knew she would have to do it, but was delaying the inevitable.

"Please Baby; I'll treat you when this is all over, more than I usually do!" Peter begged, winking at her, Charlotte moaned.

"Fine, tomorrow morning, leave him alone with Jane now; he's only got just over three days left." Charlotte told us, before pushing Peter out of the room, Rosy doing the same to me; I looked at her as soon as we were out of the room.

"Rose, baby, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I asked, she smirked, nodded and ran out of the door, only to come back and pull me by my wrists. Tonight's going to be fun, she's feisty.

The next morning

Charlotte pov

"Jazz, you don't know how much that girl looks up to you, and to inform you, she has already met your brother, she's not going to leave you and how she feels when she's around you to go to the dork who saved her years ago, and besides he told her to come to us, why would he do that unless he knew that we knew you and that she would be able to meet you, her mate, the person who caused her to feel great happiness. She wouldn't be where she is if she hadn't felt complete happiness." Charlotte tried again; it was early morning now on the third day until the girl that she had known for so long could die.

Hurry your ass up Jason Whitlock or I'll damage appendages until you won't be able to use them again.

"He saved her life? He's already done more for her than I have. She belongs with him." Jasper sighed, getting a hit from Rosalie. "Buck it up Whitlock, she's yours, no matter how much you try and think that Jason wants other wise, its not going to happen, Jane's your mate, I've seen how she looks at you, there's not a chance in hell that she is going to choose Jason other you, she can't it's why we are mated, so that we can be happy with someone and know that they aren't going to ever leave us for someone else." Rose confidently told me, perching on the edge of a seat opposite Jane, sitting next to Emmett, who was nodding in agreement.

"I don't know why any one would choose me, I see why she would have to be my mate, but what if she isn't and she chooses to be with him?" Jasper said.

"You fight for her."

"What?"

"You heard me Whitlock, you're the major, take what's yours, she's your mate not his, fight for her."

"Your right, she is mine; she's the woman I've been looking for all my existence."

"Yes major she is."

Jane moaned in pain, Jasper turned his head, his face contorted in pain and his eyes turning black from not hunting for almost a week. "Go hunting. Now!" Jasper turned to me about to argue. "You can't do anything, so go, before you do something you regret." I told him, pushing him slightly out of the door.

"I can't Char, what if something happens to her while I'm out?" Jasper argued. "Whitlock get your ass out of my house and go hunting, now or something will happen to her!" I shouted, meaning that he could attack her, but he took it wrong. He threw me against the wall, his face like it used to be in aggression as the anger he felt was thrown out throughout the room to all the vampires in the house. "You wouldn't dare." He hissed at me. I nodded.

I gulped and began to speak again.

"Your right major, I wouldn't, but you just gave us an example of what your like if you don't feed, you wouldn't want to feed on your mate now would you?" I asked rhetorically, of course he didn't want to hurt his family. Jasper nodded in understanding, taking a few moments to breath before looking at Jane and ran into the woods by the house full speed. I pushed myself off the wall and sighed. "Peter, its time to redecorate again, major ruined the wall again." Causing Peter to groan, redecoration meant he had to walk around shops with me until we were completely sure we had everything we needed, which usually lasted all day.

Jasper pov

I couldn't bare being away from Jane for too long, but I knew that I needed to properly hunt, since I had been worried so much and had been around Jane so much, it had started to take toll. I took down a bear, drinking its life force, feeling it flow down my throat and softening the fire that was based in my throat.

I took a deep breath after feeding on it and burying the carcass. I ran through the forest, feeling the wind through my hair, flowing through my top and felt calmer, not knowing and not caring if it had been the blood that had taken effect and had been what had started to calm me or if it had been the wind and the feeling of being free that went with it. I fell into the pattern of pouncing and biting into the flesh of the animal before burying it, I didn't feel guilty about killing the animal anymore, I was glad that there was something else I could feed off that wasn't a human being with feelings, kids and a full life in front of them, I couldn't bare going back to how I used to be when I was known as the major and when I was with Maria.

It took me several hours to kill and feed off the animals and bury them before I was ready to go back, when I was within several miles of the house, I felt more pain than I could handle, I fell to my knees, but after a few moments it died down slightly and I heard the words I didn't want to ever hear.

"Its close to the end Char, I love you guys, I couldn't have done a lot of things without you that I have. I think I've only got hours left, I can feel the end coming, I'm cold Char. I've never felt this cold, I don't want to die char, I'm too scared to die, tell Jazz I love him and that I wish him to be happy, no matter what."

I pushed myself up, immediately feeling her pain again as it started to burn her again. I stepped into the house, feeling that I couldn't do anything, that I was useless, I fell to the floor just inside the living room when the door crashed open, revealing a young woman, probably in her mid twenties and a man that I recognized as… Jason Whitlock. My sorry ass brother.

She would live.

"Save her please sapphire, I can't have my brother losing his mate now can I?" I was about to turn to ask him why he cared because he was going to take her from me anyway when he turned to Alice.

"Hello my darling mate."

Jason is Alice's mate?
