AN: I'd just like to reiterate for one of the guest reviewers: The baseball scene never happened, nor did she ever encounter the Volturi, Jasper never attacked her at her birthday party, she did hang with the wolf pack though.
Jasper's POV
On par with Maria? No one had been on par with Maria, since, well since me. I grinned to myself.
This was a pleasant surprise, actually more than pleasant.
Rosalie was feeling defensive and threatened. If we could wrangle Bella here she might be a real threat to Rosalie's position as Alpha. That would throw the whole coven for a loop, causin' a bit of entertainment for me while simultaneously making my coven stronger. I calculated the power shift. I doubt that that Omega would move up, so the male hierarchy is safe.
The few times Edward brought her over here she seemed rather introverted. I hadn't seen any signs of her being an Alpha, but it doesn't help that the few times I did see her she was nervous out of her mind. From what Edward reported of her when he asked my permission to start courting her she seemed docile, unlikely to tell our secret. Vampirism might have brought out hidden traits.
I was always curious on how they escaped Alice's visions. I had assumed they had one of the wolves with them, but Peter would have mentioned if there was a giant wolf or smelly human there. Perhaps she has a gift...
"So are ya trackin' them?" I asked.
"Well, uhm, you see Major she pretty much told us that if she ever saw us again she'd kill us. I know you're interested in them, but I'm not willin' to risk mine and Char's life on it." I growled and I felt the fear in the room spike up.
"Next time you need someone to save your ass, don't ask me. Now in which direction was it that lil' practically newborn Bella who kicked yer ass up and down the wall headin'?"
Review please!
