A/N: hey, sorry about the horrendously long wait. I know, I know, I'm terrible to you guys. You should be used to it by now though ;)

Bella's POV.

I could see, well everything. I knew that everything enhanced when you became a vampire, but hot damn. I hadn't expected so much! I could see the miniscule dust particles floating through the air, see as the fragmented images of multi-colored light hitting off particle surfaces and reflecting in prisms.

The smell of dry earth, monsoon rains, horses, old leather and pecans, all mixed together was the first thing I noticed. It made my stomach muscles tighten deliciously and I knew that if I still had a heartbeat, it would be racing. Turning my head, I saw the source of the smell. Jasper was still holding my hand in his, staring at my face lovingly. I got a slight jolt of surprise when I saw all of his scars, as before I could only see the most prominent.

I knew now why others were instantly wary of him, but I honestly just thought they made him even sexier.

"Hey handsome." My voice tinkled out like bells and he grinned at me. I felt an answering grin stretch across my face. He leaned in and kissed me, and man had he been holding out on me! Pouting as he pulled away, I sat up. I was sort of shocked to notice that as I had thought about sitting, I found I already was. That was going to take a while to get used to, but it in a way didn't surprise me at all. I knew how fast vampires could move, but I'd really only seen them move vampire fast when they were running.

"Are you ok?" god his voice! It was like velvet, or chocolate. Sinful. Wickedly pleasing. As was his smirk when he realised that I was, ah-hem, excited, by him.

"I feel funny, but in a good way. It'll take some getting used to." Jazz just smiled at me and tugged gently on my hair.

"Would you like to see?" I nodded as he tugged me to his body, wrapping his arm around my waist.

In the bathroom mirror, a beautiful, almost familiar person stared back at me. Her hair hadn't changed color, just thickened out and lengthened a little. Her face was the same except for the glaringly bright crimson eyes. I paused there, knowing that out of everything that has changed, my eyes would be the sore spot. Surprisingly enough, it didn't bother me like I thought it would. In their own creepy sort of way, they were immensely pretty. Skimming down my neck, I saw Jaspers teeth marks on my marble skin. Now everyone would know that I was his. The B necklace he bought me sat proudly just under the juncture that were my collar bones.

I hadn't put weight on, but my breasts were definitely larger and my hips fuller. My legs looked longer and more shapely, but it was hard to tell.

"Beautiful." He whispered in my ear.

"I'll bet!" I laughed at Peters antics, before pecking Jazz on the lips and slipping into the closet to pull on some clothes. As much as I wanted to just stand there with Jasper, I knew that Maria was coming, and I knew that there was training to be done. I also knew that I was the liability. I was, after all, a new born and so unskilled in the area of fighting that it was almost laughable.

Except this was no laughing matter.

"Aren't you thirsty?" I glanced over my shoulder at Jazz, as fire ripped through my throat. I frowned then laughed.

"I wasn't until you mentioned it, but now? I'm ravenous." He smiled indulgently at me, before grabbing my hand and towing me towards the window. I raised my brow at him in question.

"I don't trust Peter to keep his hands to himself." I frowned, hearing Peters chuckle and Char's sigh, before Jasper pulled me through the window. What that was all about, I haven't a clue, but I will find out.

Racing with Jasper through the tress at break-neck speeds has to be the most exhilarating thing I have ever done. Despite the low burn in my throat, holding his hand and flying through the forest, there was just nothing that could ever hope to compare.

Suddenly, Jasper pulled to a stop, tugging me to stand in front of him, his hands on my hips holding me to him.

"Clear your mind. Focus on the earth around you. Become one with nature. Focus your hearing, use your sense of smell." I did exactly what he told me, even going as far as to closing my eyes to help centre myself.

The smell of the forest with its green tress assaulted me. It knocked my focus and I had to take a deep breath and start over. I skipped lightly over the scent of floral and thick dampness. It was then I caught the scent of musk, deep and mouth-watering. My hearing tuned in and it too skipped over the noise of little critters crawling around the forest floor and over the babbling of a brook, and picked up the heaving thumping of a heart-beat.

"Hunt!" and I shot off. The scenery flashed past me in surprisingly nothing like what it should have been. It was crystal clear, as though it were just slowly walking along instead of hurtling past.

I came upon a buck and thought of nothing whilst I pounced, quickly snapping its neck before sinking my teeth into it. The blood was thick and grimy, but it tasted like fucking heaven.

I was on my fifth when Jasper made an appearance. He waited patiently on the side-lines while I finished up. Once I buried the last of my 'first meal', I sauntered over to him, feeling elated and I suppose the closest a vampire could to high. When I got close enough, his hands flashed out, quicker than even I could see and gripped my waist. Dipping his head close to my ear to growl at me.

"Do you have any idea how sexy that was? Watching you tearing into something with your teeth, blood spatters covering your body, with torn clothes?" he spun us in a blur so my back was against the trees.

"It got me so hard, I just wanted to fuck you where you stood." He smirked at me.

"And now I will." With that he preceded tear the remaining parts of clothing from my body, making me hiss in want, before slamming into me, breaking the tree.

He had really been holding on to his self-control when we had been together before.

Four hours and many, many, many trees later, we finally made it back home. Char came running out to greet us, smirking at me wearing Jaspers shirt. Peter followed more slowly, giving me a serious look over before leering at me. I laughed flipping him off before flitting upstairs to change. I was going to be getting hit around in a few hours, especially when Emmett got over here. I grinned.

Bring it.

A/N: in my own defence, I've had this ready for while, but I'm on holiday and the wi-fi has decided that it either doesn't like me or it doesn't like my laptop. Safe to say it got a stern talking to and we are on a semi truce just now. :D
