Last Time:

"-and she just snapped. She lost it and attacked me. Bit me and tore my arm off. She's just having a tough time. I think it's a depression, or maybe-"

"Anxiety?" I offered. He nodded. I found myself nodding too, even though I didn't know what the hell for.

"Just.. call if she turns up, okay, man? I gotta tell Jake. Shit, the dog's gonna have my head and chew on it for dinner." He groaned, before jumping out the window silently.

I blinked before falling backwards, and hitting the floor hard, my head bouncing back a few times. My back registered the pain, but something numbed it incredibly fast.

After moping about in my room for a half hour, I got up and jumped out the window, landing to be greeted with ground shock even though I bent my knees.

Why the fuck didn't I grab a flash light? Idiot. I grunted, before running in the direction of the woods.

I stumbled over hidden logs and fallen trees, slipped on my ass more than a few times because of the over grown moss. Each time, I got up, cursed myself and the fucking woods to hell, before running again.

"Bella?" I yelled, hearing my voice echo. Other than that, nothing else broke the silence that I was now encased in.

I felt like a fucking asylum patient.

"Bella?" I yelled louder.

Still, nothing. Except my voice echoing. "Bella! Bella.. bella..."

"BELLA?" I screamed as loud as I could, ignoring my burning lungs and protesting throat. I refused to cry.

"You really know how to hurt a vampire's ears." A deep male voice hissed. I turned around quickly, my hair whipping into my eyes.

"Who are you?" I asked the tall male. He had red eyes, and white blonde hair.

"My name is Cauis Volturi." He grinned sadistacally. "And I am here to kill you, boy." His eyes turned black and he lunged at my throat. My eyes widened as I felt his teeth pass through my skin.

Flesh is burning
You can smell it in the air
Cause men like you
Have such an easy soul to steal.

Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold

Bella.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Cauis Volturi."

Those words echoed through my head, almost painfully.

"And I am here to kill you, boy."

Fuck.

The wind blew their scent toward me, and I had to fight to move my muscles against the smell of Jasper's blood. But he was in trouble right now. He needed me more than anything.

Life and death.

I tackled Cauis off of Jasper, his body now lay limp on the forest floor. Cauis looked up at me, blood stained teeth showed as he smiled a toothy smile.

I growled, falling into a slight crouch, guarding Jasper's body.

"Bella.." I turned my head to Jasper, and if I could still cry, there was no doubt in my mind I would be bawling.

He was extremely pale, almost as much as me. Cauis hadn't stuck to only biting his throat. Jasper had five bite marks on his throat, three on his face, and so many on his chest. I felt another growl vibrate through my chest, my eyes as black as the deepest pit. Not out of hunger for Jasper's blood. No, I wanted Cauis's fucking head.

"You start batting for the other team?" I hissed at Cauis. He laughed maniacally.

"Bella, Bella, Bella. My sweet Bella-"

"Get to the fucking point."

He chuckled. "Subtle as a flying brick, my dear." He put an elegant long finger under his chin, feigning a deep thought. "Oh, isn't this poetic?" He laughed.

"Sure, Roses are red, violets are blue, hurry the fuck up so I can kill you." He only laughed in response. I knew he was trying to stall time, but Jasper was dieing.

"Such anger, such hatred from such a pretty little flower. I heard the rumors you were keeping a pet, I just had to see for myself. He tastes delicious by the way." He added as an after thought.

Another growl tore through me violently. Every instinct told me to attack Cauis. I couldn't prolong it anymore. I lunged for him, slaming him into a tree, trying to bite his throat.

He chuckled again, throwing me off to greet a tree of my own. Bastard.

"Now, now, Little One. Keep in mind that I am older, and stronger."

I hissed, lunging again this time, grabbing a hold of his left arm. I used my speed to my advantage, biting the crease in his elbow and tugging sideways. He howled as I tore it off.

"I have a lot of tolerance for you, Isabella, but this is crossing the line." He threatened.

"You crossed the line when you fucking attacked my mate!" I growled in response, I decided to attack again. Third time lucky for him, he caught me by the throat with one huge hand.

The ground under my feet suddenly disappeared, and I registered that he was lifting me higher and higher.

"You must be the daintiest vampire I know.." He chuckled. I clawed at his hand with both of mine, the whole time thinking that Jasper was still on the ground, dieing. Because of this fucking asshole.

I swung the bottom half of my body up, wrapping my legs around his extended arm, before twisting myself up into a sitting position and tugging it up. I threw the arm away as quickly as I could.

At least now he had no arms to hit with anymore.

"You are really testing my patience, Lovely Bella."

"She never really had any of that to start with." My head whipped around, a tall blonde vampire stood in a crouch. I vaguely recognized him as Peter.

"I got Cauis, Bella, go take care of Jasper." I hesitated, looking from Cauis, to Jasper, to Peter, and back again. "GO!"

I nodded hastily, running to Jasper. Cauis growled, and I heard his feet thump against the ground with each step. I also heard the thunder like sound of Peter colliding with him.

"Jasper? Jas? Jazzy, come one. Keep your eyes open.." I encouraged. He smiled, reaching his hand out to me, touching my face with the back of his hand.

"You have no idea how much you mean to me."

"Jasper, keep your eyes open."

"I love you." He whispered, his eyes closing slowly. "You kicked his ass." He chuckled, before coughing. "Man, this really.. ugh, sucks." He groaned.

"Do you trust me?" I asked. He opened his eyes a little to look directly into mine.

"With.. m-my life." He coughed again. His eyes dropped closed, his breathing getting slower. I had tuned out Cauis's cries now, all I could see and hear was Jasper.

I held his face in my hands. This was wrong. So wrong. Jasper didn't deserve this.

I placed my mouth over one of the open wounds in his throat, pushing venom through, before moving to his wrists, ankles, the insides of his elbows and directly above his heart.

I hated myself for introducing him to the vampire world. But I hated myself the most for knowing how much he belonged here.

Jazzy's becoming a vampire! Oh, don't worry, Cauis and Peter are still there, she's just tuning them out, remember lol.
