Chapter 28

Jasper is DUBIOUS

"Let him help you," Alice implored, squeezing Jasper's hands, trying to comfort him as he closed his eyes, tears falling down his cheeks and dropping onto his shirt. He was sitting on their bed, clutching at his left leg in agony. He'd been wounded while out hunting with Alice. Apparently nomads didn't like it when you told them they couldn't hunt on your land. And so they took it out on Jasper who had fought as hard as he could so that they wouldn't hurt Alice.

She'd managed to heal up his smaller wounds, but she couldn't help him with this one. Jasper's leg had been completely shattered by the larger of the nomads. He hadn't been much smaller than Emmett. Alice had helped her husband hobble home and was now trying to talk the older vampire into allowing her to call Carlisle for help.

"I wouldn't suggest anything if I didn't believe it was for the best. You know that." Alice tried again, running a hand through her husband's hair. "Carlisle will know what to do. He'll help you."

She was a little disappointed, admittedly. Jasper had been doing so well with trusting the others. Though, she figured, she had to understand that Jasper was used to wounded vampires simply being tossed away due to their perceived uselessness. She could see why her husband was so worried about having Carlisle treat him.

"Carlisle loves us. As does Esme." Alice volunteered. "He'll fix you up and then Esme will spoil you. You know what they're like. Let me contact him. He'll be able to take the pain away."

At those words, Jasper nodded his head. Apparently the thought of being free of pain was more compelling to him than whatever warnings his own mind had been screaming.

Thank you for reading.

I'd like 2 reviews before the next update, please :)
