A/N: Not updating until Monday. GOING ON A TRIP! Sorry, excited. I am sorry for the point of view errors I made in the last chapter. My hands were rebelling against me. They love Edward and are jealous of Bella. PS: see if you can figure out whose point of view it is...

That would be her at the door. The emotions in the house were on edge. There was nervous, and fidgity, loathing, and even a little jealousy. Maria was also nervous, but mostly confident just like she had been then. Confident that she would win back her prize. Confident that she would win the battles and therefore control everything. She was power hungry and that's all there was to it. She would betray anyone in an instance.

Jasper's point of view. let me know how this turns out. I've never done anyone except Edward and Bella. I don't even think I've done Alice, though I might have.

Maria knocked on the door. Carlisle opened it with a strange look on his face. He had calm radiating off of him, although he perfected hiding his emotions from me by masking them.

Alice had come upstairs and grabbed my hand seconds before Maria was there so we would be downstairs. When Maria saw me, she brightened. She looked at me and smiled. I did not return it.

Her smile dimmed.

"Hello Jasper. Would you like to introduce me to your new friends?" she sneered. Then she changed her attitude, deciding that if she was nice, that I might agree sooner.

"Hello. I am Maria. A friend of Jasper. he might have told you about me."

Emmett growled. I almost did too. Edward held Bella close to him, still used to protecting her.

"Maria. I am not interested. At all." Eli came down the stairs at that moment. Edward and Bella let go of each other and stood in front of Eli at the same time. Right as they did this, Maria lunged at him.

"You let that thing into your house? And why on earth are your eyes golden. All of you. It's so strange."

"Come calmly sit down and we will tell you. If you cannot behave, then leave this instance. I heard Bella mutter something about calling Jacob Black.

I tried to send some calming waves towards her, but she laughed.

"Jazzy, I stopped letting your powers effect me years ago. Did you not realise that? Is that why you left?" She asked the last part was serious.

"I think you need to leave Maria."

"No, I think I will stay." She walked across the room and boldly flopped onto the couch.

"You know we could kill you right now."

"Yes, but you won't, because I have information for you."

"She's right." Alice whispered. I leaned down and kissed her lightly. Maria gasped. Her jealousy enveloped me.

"Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that I'm married?" I asked her, in the same tone she had used earlier.

"Let's cut the act her. I'm here to ask you if you wanted to come back. It really upset me when you left. You could be in charge agian. At the top. Fighting for what we want. All the humans you can eat. Just us two." She whispered seductively. I could not be lured into this again. I don't want this. I reminded myself.

"I can't do that Maria."

"Why not?"

I looked at Alice. Unless necessary, I wouldn't tell her that the real reason was the guilt. Guilt for leaving my family. Guilt for not following their ways. Guilt for coming so far, just to turn around and abandon it. One step forward, two stepped back. Guilt for the loss of human lives. Guilt everywhere. I couldn't do it anymore. I would not put myself, Alice, or the rest of the family through that.

She looked as though she understood. I pulled Alice closer to me.

"Your wife could come with you. She could help." I shook my head vigorously.

"You could all come." Well, it wouldn't be so bad if they were coming. I knew that if I wanted her to, Alice would follow me. Maybe i could still hunt animals... It would be nice to be in charge again. I had loved the situation with the newborns. Taking control. Conquering. (Ok, that sounds OOC, but for the purposes of this story, it's there)

What would it be like to go back?

A/N: Please don't hate me. I'm sorry. I had to stop there. I need to get to sleep even though I don't want to because I have to get up early tomorrow. Please review and let me know what you think. This story has more chapters but less reviews than my other. If you wanted to, you could make up for that...
