Jasper's Pov

I was amazed by how quickly things had gone from simply palatably tense to absolute mayhem. Just seconds ago Josh sneezed; to our family his allergy induced nosebleeds were common especially during this time of the year. I could faintly smell the blood but it did nothing for me. Jane on the other hand lost complete control. Edward let out a fierce growl. I was soon flooded by emotions, Edward's rage, Alice's panic and everyone else's fear and concern.

"Jane, no!" Aro shouted shocked by his young guard's behavior. I was positive that when he had arrived that the visit would be disastrous but when he used his gift to take in Josh's memories I could feel his confusion and distaste shift into something resembling pity. The fact that he had mentioned understand why Rosalie brought him and Bella into our family led me to believe he had seen that day in his memories. I hoped he could see that our secret was not in jeopardy because of Josh and Bella. I wanted him to understand that they were our family.

I thought for just a brief moment that things may not end as terribly as I originally expected but Jane changed that in less than a second. She lunged forward and grabbed Josh; he barely even saw her coming. Bella gave a terrified shriek as things quickly escalated.

Emmett growled loudly as he pounced on the guard member nearest to him who was moving towards Jane, I could tell the guard member was surprised by Jane's sudden loss of control but distrusted us enough to protect her from us.

Everyone was shocked by Jane's complete and utter loss of control. She was a prized member of the Volturi's guard, a guard that was only functional because of the control it had during heightened situations. She barely lasted two minutes around Josh. I couldn't believe how quickly her instincts over powered her, she was behaving the like a newborn.

I struggled maintaining my focus as I watched Jane take a hold of Josh by his shoulders, Alice, feeling immense guilt over not seeing this earlier, lunged forward trying to stop the deranged little girl but other guard member stepped in. A feral growl erupted from my chest as I stepped in to protect my wife. A flurry of black cloaks converged as the remainder of the guard became involved.

The living room was too small of a space for the number of vampires that it contained. The glass coffee table shattered under Emmett's weight as he wrestled with an equally enormous guard. My attention was pulled away as something else shattered. "No! Josh!" Everyone's head jerked up at inhuman speed as Esme's distressed shouts filled the room.

"Jane, stop! Control yourself!" Aro's voice was sharp as he shouted. As soon as I realized what it was that had shattered the window I was rocked by the feeling of worry that emanated from the members of my family.

"Bella get down" Edward was a frightening combination of panicked and furious. Not all of the struggling had stopped; Edward was attempting to hold down a slightly smaller guard member. I could tell based on the nature of the struggle neither wanted to destroy the other but the guard member pushed Edward away, sending him into the couch where Bella was. The couch broke under the force of his body and sent Bella flying. "No" his growl was cut short as I heard Bella yelp. Her head cracked off of the wall as she slid on the polished wood floors into it. It felt like my stomach had flipped as I smelled both of my siblings blood, Bella seemed to be alright but the smell of Josh's was stronger than it had been when his nose bleed had just started.

"Demetri, Felix, stop her!" Aro shouted again. The guard member who had been struggling with Emmett stood upright and Emmett followed giving an enraged growl. I felt anger and devastating concern for Josh that years ago would have been surprising. Carlisle and Esme raced outside as did who I assumed to be Felix and Demetri.

"No…no…no" I looked quickly at my wife as her fear rolled off of her like a thick fog. Her beautiful eyes were a dark amber color and she looked like she would cry if she could. I knew of Jane's abilities and along with her bloodlust she would be difficult for just the two guards to restrain. I couldn't allow her to kill him; I don't think our family would survive it. I moved as fast my legs would carry me towards Josh.

"Get her out of here" Aro ordered to the rest of his loyal cloaked guard. With a disciplined force the half dozen vampires took a hold of the young vampire. There was blood on the grass at my feet as me and the rest of my family gathered around Josh, expecting things to be much worse I was relieved to see him in a conscious state.

"Baby?" Esme dropped to her knees behind Josh's head. His face was contorted in one of pain. I looked over his body inventorying his wounds. He was breathing heavily, I could tell his arm was broken and there were cuts and gashes from the window he was thrown through. She tenderly touched his cheeks as a frightened sob escaped her tightly pursed lips. She was trying so hard not to let her true fears for him show but her emotions were starting to get the best of her. Knowing both Edward and Carlisle had much more of an extensive medical background, I decided that I would do what I could to make the situation better. Esme shot me a brief appreciative half smile as I went out waves of calm.

"Wow, what a bitch" I felt a smile playing at my lips as Josh took in a deep pained breath. His fear dissolved as Esme cradled his head in her lap. He relaxed against her cold touch.

"Shh" a slightly relieved smile played on her lips. Carlisle kneeled at Josh's side, getting a closer look at his wounds.

"Bella, sit still" I listened to Edward as he talked to Bella from the living room.

"Edward I'm fine!" she snapped back, I could feel her annoyance from here. "Is Josh okay?" I turned towards the house and watched as Bella tried to get up but Edward stood in front of her.

"I'm good!" Josh called out, grimacing and immediately regretting raising his voice.

"Shh" Esme cooed gently.

"Emmett, can you get my back from my office?" Carlisle looked up at Emmett who nodded and took off with top speed and returned a few seconds later with the medical bag. He removed a small bottle; based on its smell I could tell it was morphine. He prepared a small shot and injected it into Josh's arm.

Tension filled the yard once more as Aro floated out of the woods surrounding the house. With Emmett's mind being clearly in the same place as mine, we moved in front of Josh. Emmett crouched down defensively. "No…it's fine" I felt my wife's hands around my waist. I could feel her confidence and I sent it back out in waves to those around me.
