Hope you like this one. By the way this quote is my favorite; I think it explains what love is. I actually relay too much in it. I hope you like it.

I don't own anything…. Only myself.

Chapter 21

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.

Because this is what love is; Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, and it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. It has roots that grow towards each other underground, and when the entire pretty blossom had fallen from the branches its find that it is one tree and not two.

JPOV.

I watched horrified as Bella ran away from me, I couldn't reached her, she had her shield all the time, I couldn't explain to her that it was all a mistake. It was true that at first there was a plan but I never agreed to it. I did felt for her, I did; with all my heart and now my heart was shred into millions of pieces.

I watched the other who had terror in their faces, I am positive that they didn't see this coming, this conversation was not the way my brothers intended to end, but it was their fault; their thirsts for blood and power. This was their destruction and they had brought me down with them.

I was on the floor, the room was a complete mass of destruction; my windows were broken and glass all over the floor. The fire place was completely burn and so were the portrait there was above it.

As soon as Bosnie came to her sense she called some guard that live on the other side of the property to start cleaning, maybe this was her way on coping.

Stephan and Demark were making already strategies about how to get her back. I was just numb, for the first time in my life and non living life my powers were shut down, I didn't feel anything and I didn't sense anyone.

"Jasper, I am sorry, believe when I say this, I love Bella very much but I think that the Voltuori are truly a threat to us and Bella is the best solution, she could end this power lust war once and for all."

"I am sorry she thinks you betray her, that we betray her, I was just speaking my mind." Angie approached me and tried to comfort me; I shook her hand off and stare at her.

"YOU are fucking sorry?.. You.. That allude her with your shyness and fool her not showing your intentions all along.. When were you going to tell her you had become close to Stephan."

"You were her only friend and you took sides. I didn't take any sides but you did, you are worst than me." I said and walked toward the door, I had to find her, and I had to explain myself.

"yes, I took sides, I have a mind of my own, you know, and I am truly sorry she believes that I betray her but if to deceive is to speak my mind, well I guess I did, and by the way, my relationship with your brother happened when you two were busy with one another, she was so overwhelm by the feelings she has for you that I didn't want to let my feelings disturb her, so.. I guess WE both fuck this up." She turned around and started helping Bosnie with the cleaning.

I went to the cottage and started making plans on how to get my Bella back; I have to find a way for her to forgive me before she does something she regrets.

The nights I spend on my room, thinking of how to get Bella did me good, I think things over, and I realize that I was no different that Edward, I was worst.

I took three guards with me into town to look for her but she was not there, we cover all the places it was possible for her to be; but there was no Bella. It was the fifth day that she left and I don't know what to do. I am desperate; I need to find her before Aro did, I am affirmative that they will look for her to finish the contract.

In the time that I have been here, the numbers of guards in the property were short; we had 15 vampires that cover all the property with guard dogs. They walked around the property making sure that no unwelcome guess surprised us.

I am in charge of giving them their roles. Today I had to take my sorrow again and walked to the guard cottage and give specific roles to them.

The following 3 hours I spend in there, I was giving directions and commands, they were going to divide into 3 groups of five and they were going to search in three different countries, and when they found her, they are going to called me, not approach her, so I could come and try to talk to her.

I hope this plan work, the only problem was that the property was going to be unguarded for a week, my brothers were not happy, because they have major mental disorders; they think every one wants to kill them. I wonder if their conscience is too heavy for them.

Nevertheless they were not happy about my decisions with the guards, they didn't say anything, and they just accepted my decisions and mind their own business. I kept myself busy so I don't think about Bella too much; just the thought of her, hurt like a thousand knives on my death heart.

It was seven in the evening and I was returning form my hunt, I didn't want to hunt but if I was going to be presentable for Bella I had to do it. As I was getting close to the property I notice flames coming from the house and then I sense them Aro, Caius, Jean and Alec; they were in the house.

I ran as fast as I could to see the damage, maybe they had Bella, at this thought I ran as fast as I could, imploring that my love wasn't there with them. I was near the house and I saw my brothers knelt down in the ground and Bosnie and Angie were hugging sobbing frighten.

I slow my pace, knowing that if I ran they could hear me.

"tell me where she is?" Caius yell at them and hit Angie on the face, she yelled in pain.

"Aro, you understand this means war, you have broken into my house and…." Demark started but was stopped and then he started twisting on the ground it was then I saw Jean coming out of the cottage with a smile on her face.

"Jean, dear.. Did you find something". Aro said with a smirked on his face that I was sure I would be gladly take it out.

"No, master, her scent is not strong, she hasn't been here for several days, but Jasper scent is really strong, he must still here" Jean walked toward Alec and place her hand on his shoulder.

"Well… maybe we can persuade him to come out!" Caius said grabbing Bosnie by her hair, pulling her close to him. I was so disgusted by the image that I was pouring venom and my jaw was hardened out of anger.

"mmm.. You must be very important, scary cat, because I see the pain in the brothers face when I make you suffered, I will enjoy torturing you" Caius pull her hard by her hair and bit her shoulder, Bosnie screamed, the look on Demark and Stephan face was anguishing. She had become a daughter to them too.

"Please, she is not here, she left five days ago." Angie sobs between lines, crawling close to be hugged my Stephan.

"Where did she go to?" Alec spoke and looked at Angie.

"We don't know, we send the guard to find her but still nothing, please let us be" Angie responded and then she freeze, must be Alec's powers.

"it is not fun when they don't scream, Alec, so I would appreciate if you stop it and let her feel and scream for me when her time comes" Caius spoke and then He pull Bosnie's arm so hard that I could hear her joints separated themselves. Yet another scream came from Bosnie's lips.

"Aro…." Stephan said trying to get up but it was useless, every time they try to speak Jane would use her powers.

It was then I knew there going to kill my brothers if I didn't do something, I had to intervene and convince them that I know where Bella was, it would buy us some time, they would leave my brothers along, and they would take me with them. I am positive that when they realize I hoax them; I would die.

But if this means that I would save Bella and my new family; I will do it. I would save Bella because she will not return to me. She will think I didn't look for her and I know she was too stubborn to come back, and my brother will have time to escape. So I made the decision in that moment; to die for my love ones.

In my past I have done so many horrible things that I am sure Hell would not get me by surprised. It was time for me to do some good, it was time for me to prove to Bella that I did loved her, ever though she will never know this. So I walked to my fate.

"Aro.. I will take you to her" I shout at him, stepping out of the forest.

As I got near them, I was hit by an intensive pain, it was like fire running through my vein, but I didn't made a sound, I would not allow myself to scream in front of them.

"AAhh Jasper, the person we were looking for….. well one of them" Caius spoke and let go of Bosnie and came to pick me up.

"Jasper dear, so good of you to join us.. See; we have a kind of business with young Bella, so we came to settle it down" Aro looked at me and grab my hand. He was livid when he saw nothing in my mind. I am sure Demark was doing a little job there, and they were so stupid not to realize it.

Even though my brothers' powers were not amazing they come in handy. Stephan cam manipulate people's action and Demark can Shot power's down, so they must be in terrible pain, because they are not using their powers I full force.

"Why don't I see your mind jasper?" Oh shit, I have to lie.

"Well, this property is protected against any mind reading powers, you know to keep every one's privacy, Demark did it before we moved here" oh shit, I hope he buy it.

"Ok, then, were you saying something about the location of Bella?" Aro added.

"Yes, I will take you there, but you have to let my brothers and family go, they have no trouble with you, and then I will take you" I looked straight into his eyes making sure he understand my demands.

"Ok then, but if this is a trick of any kind, be sure that Jean will kill you and I will not be compassionate with your family subsequently" Aro nodded to Jean, and she droped the torture that was inflicted to my brothers.

I looked back at my brothers and saw gratitude and sorrow as they saw me get in the car with Aro and Caius while Alec and Jean got in another car. I was in the passenger sit and Caius was on the back, I guess he was guarding all my moves.

"So….. where to?" Aro said turning to main road, I had to think of a place that they will not suspect. Maybe a little town on the borders; it was 6 hours away in car and but only one hour running, so I guess that could be enough time for my brothers to get away.

"She is in a little town near the borders, its name is Tornio, it near the mountains, she needed time to think, that is why she went there. The house is very difficult to find so I will give you direction when we get there" I turn and looked at Caius who looked at me very suspicious maybe I am giving the information so easy.

"And why are you leading us to her, isn't she your mate?" Caius told me, I frown with the word mate, I hated that word. She is my partner, my love, my life.

"I am leading you to her, because I want this matter to be solve as inactive as possible so we can live our life in peace" I turn to look on the road.

"Ah Caius, don't be like that, Jasper knows what is best for his family and he knows that if he tries to betray us, this will not end well for either of them, right Jasper?" Aro said and I nodded.

The drive was silent, I was planning something in my head but I knew this was just I lost case. They will kill me when they figure things out.

BPOV

I ran into the woods near the property, and I notice smoke coming from the house.

"Oh no.. I am too late" I said and I kept running.

When I reach the house I notice Stephan, Demark and the girls were grabbing things out of the cars and placing then in Jasper's truck. I notice that Jasper was nowhere to be seen.

I slow my pace and it was then when Angie saw me and ran to me. I was so preoccupied that my anger subsided, all I could think was where Jasper was; am I too late?

"Oohh Bella, I am glad you are back, I am sorry.. Please forgive me" she said and try to hug me, I place my hand in front of her.

"No Angie, I don't forgive you, but I am willing to help, what happened here?" I said and it was Stephan who answered me.

"They came looking for you and destroy our home, they almost killed us but Jasper save us" he came near Angie and place his hand on her waist. She slant closer to him.

"Where is he?" I manage to say, I was getting panicky.

"they took him, I don't know where, but he said he knew where you were and that he was going to take them there, he exchange us for him." demark added.

"Exchange you, how?" I was about to break into sobs now, I was too late.

"His life for ours" Bosnie said while getting in the truck.

"WHAT!!!!!" I shouted. I was not really terrified, he was going to die and I was too late, I knelt to the ground and started shaking, I was having a panic attack.

My world become blank and I didn't know where they were, I didn't know where to start searching, I felt like if my whole life was pulling away from me. My inner self and the court of my soul was being pull outside and I didn't know what to do. I was sobbing so hard that I didn't realize that my phone was vibrating and followed by my ring tone. I pick it up with out seeing who was calling.

"Why on earth are you sobbing like a manic? Alice yelled at me.

"What?" I asked her so numb of the feeling of lost. I was so sure that I have lost him that I was already mourning the lost

"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU MOURNING JASPER DEATH IF HE IS STILL ALIVE, STUPID….. MOVE…DO SOMETHING!" she shouted.

"Alice, they are not here, they took him away, Alice… I lost him.. I don't know what to do" I told her between sobs. How pathetic am I?

"NO, Bella, I can't mess with fate but, Bella you have the right tools to make them go away and get your love back, you just need to stop this bullshit and think hard about it.. That is all I am going to say, I believe in you, but hurry up because fate is not written in stone" Alice said after that hung up and let me with my thoughts.

I stood up and walked toward my room, I needed to think. I needed to act as quickly as possible. I sat on the bed and decided I should take a shower.

"What is there for me? Ohh come on Bella, think!!" I whisper to myself. I heard the others leave in his truck, I am sure they were going to the other hide away in Russia.

I took the longest shower and then all came back to me. It all came crashing down; The reason why I had Aro in my hands; the reason why The Voltuori are going to fall out of their thrown.

Flashback

I got in the hallways of the big house in Volterra, and I enter a room. It was dark. I search for the switch to turn on the lights. When I did, I saw that I was in like a library, full of books and historical objects.

I began to look around amaze by the amount of literal figures and famous books I love, I was trying to absorber all this but suddenly I notice a black book in top of the shelves, I wonder was book it is, it looks old, must be a novel. I thought.

So curious as a cat, I got in the set of stairs and reach for the book, when I was about to touch it. I slip and try to hold myself with the books.

I close my eyes waiting for the pain, but I didn't felt anything. I open my eyes and I saw that I was hanging from a book. That book didn't felt like the others, it was paste on the wood of the shelves. I grab the ladder again so I was safe. And I heard a noise. As I went down the ladder, I saw a little small door open, that door was not there when I came in: I thought. Curious again; I came to the little room, and in the middle of the room was a little golden box, in the front was a scripture. It said.. "LOVE DOES NOT CONQUER, POWER DOES"

I got confuse so I opened the little box and saw ashes and in the middle of them was a locket, the chain had a heart shape pin; I opened the locket and inside the pin a photo of a woman, a baby and……… MARCUS..

"SHIT" I said, I couldn't believe my eyes, then I heard a noise outside the library, so I rush myself out, but before I got out, I couldn't help myself I grab the box and got out of there as fast as I could.

"¡ I AM SO DEAD AFTER THIS!" I said in the room. I looked at the clock. It was a quarter to six. Only fifteen minutes to go, and it will be twilight. I place the box on my backpack.

End of flashback.

"oh my God!!! I know why Alice said what she said.. I have to find that box, but where is it? I put it on my backpack; But my old things I don't know where they are. I ran outside and into the burned half-burned house.

As I started searching in the house, I remember that Bosnie was the one in charge of taking my things into the cottage, so I went there again. I started looking; throwing stuff, clothes, bags, everything inside my room. I had looked every where and it is not here.

"Come on Bella think!!!" I said to myself, I turn my head toward the closet and in the darkest place was a carton box on the top of the drawers; it was really buried inside. No wonder I didn't see it. I jump in the closet and open the box.

And there it was, on the bottom of old book and some clothes was my back pack, I grab it and open it, the golden box was still there, dusty but there. I took it and I started running.

I ran approximately 30 miles to the city before I realize I had no clue where the fuck I am going. "Ohh shit Bella, seriously.. Your brain needs to start working, stop being stupid and act" I said. I grab my phone and dial Alice. She picked up in the first ring.

"Bella, he is going to Tornio, I see a house on a hill, they will arrive there tomorrow at noon, and you can make it before they get there. It is a long drive by car but a short one running. When you get there, make sure you shield him first. Ok?" Alice didn't even let me speak.

"ok, Alice…. And Alice… thank you" I whisper on the phone, I know this must be hard for her. She was being a great woman.

"Bella, I am doing what is best for my family. Family stays together, so go get my NOW brother Back and your future……… and Bella… when you two are ready. Come back where you belong. You and Jasper are Cullens', never forget that. NOW GO!!!" she hung up the phone and I started running, this was going to be the longest hours of my life.

Ok, I know you were confused about Angie position; with her being Bella's best friend, but she only spoke her mind. I think Bella overreact a little on everything.

But ok. Let me know what you think… I guess you didn't see that coming… the golden urn… I hope you still with me… lemons are coming!!!!

Review please!!!!!!!!!!!!
