I DON'T OWN ANYTHING TWILIGHT RELATED.

Hey guys,

Today you get an update but before that I just have to rant a bit. I really need to get this of my chest.

I know some of you do not like the fact that I brought Edward back into the family as a victim and that it turns out that Alice knew all along. I get that you hate it but guess what………….I AM NOT CHANGING IT!!!!!! I am sick and tied of hearing you all don't like it. If you don't like it then don't read it. I try………….. I honestly try to please everyone when I write but I can't. I AM SORRY IF IT SOUNDS HARSH. Don't get me wrong; I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS but please stop asking me to change the plot.

Now with that out of the way let me explain why Edward is back. The main reason is because of Carlisle. I believe in my own twilight bubble that some part of Carlisle would have rubbed of on Edward. Edward was with both Carlisle and Esme before Rosalie came so I doubt he is purely evil.

And secondly, I am sick of reading stories where Edward is the bad guy and dies. My story will not be one of those. It's different; completely so.

So that was my rant ;)

Moving on………………. I am of until February……………HOOT! HOOT!

I also have a new Edward/ Bella story out and as usual it never follows anything normal. The Jasper/ Bella story is in the works!!!!!!! It should be out soon!!!!!!!!!

So …………….finally a chapter………………. Love you and your reviews please do even after my little rant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY DO.

Chapter Twenty-Six.

Jasper's POV.

Betrayal.

That word was now my poison; dealt by the hand of my own wife.

The grief that course through Edward was crushing me but surprisingly there was no lie in his words; only the truth.

The emotions were heavy and suffocating in the room and I was slowly loosing hold of them as well as my control. In all honesty I wanted to beat Edward into a pulp even if he was controlled by Rosalie but to me this entire thing made no sense and from the doubt I felt radiating form Emmett and Jacob, I was not the only one who doubted what Edward was saying to us.

Maybe it was just me, but my military mind had never failed me before but here and now my mind was screaming at me to destroy the threat I saw to my family but more importantly to my baby sister. However even with all the lies and deception that was surrounding Edward at the moment, I wanted to run full speed towards Alice and get every bit of truth from her.

How could she do this? Why hold back the truth especially when one of the members of the family was a direct threat and another had no control over their mind?

Even I had no answers but of one thing I was sure. I love Alice but that only made the betrayal all that more devastating.

"Alice," I said my voice cold and deadly, "answers if you please."

The shock that rippled through the family was heart—wrenching. I knew it was wrong to through my anger out at Alice this way but I could not help it. I had made it very clear that Isabella was my sister and that I wanted no harm to come to her. I had sworn to myself and to both her fathers that nothing would hurt her again but here I was again dealing with the fact that my sister was hurt again and more gut-wrenching was the fact that my own wife had dealt this blow.

"What do you want to know?" Alice whispered.

"How much of what Edward just said is true?"

"Everything."

That was the response that I feared but had completely expected. Immediately I closed my eyes as I braced myself against the on slaughter of emotions: hurt, sorrow, betrayal, pain…………..they all swirled around me like a tornado.

Slowly I was loosing my hold on the surrounding emotions but more so my own grief threatened to break all my control.

Suddenly, as I felt I could no longer hold onto my own grief, I felt her hand slid into my own.

"It's alright Jazz. We've got you." And with that my sweet little sister pulled me to sit by her and her soul mate.

With her hand firmly in my own, I regained my composure.

"Alright, then. Alice, why don't you start at the beginning?" Carlisle asked.

"When I first awoke after the change you all know that I had two visions. Truth be told, I actually had three. The first vision was of Jasper, the second was of the family, the third was of Bella."

"Me?" Bella stuttered, tightening the grip on my hand.

"Yes you." Alice answered looking down at the ground.

"Alice that makes no sense." Emmett spoke from my right. "Bella was not born at that time so there was no way you could have seen her in any of your visions."

"True. I never saw Bella per say but I always saw the blurry outline of someone who would join our family. My visions only solidified eighteen years ago on September 13th."

"Alright. You had visions of Bella. What exactly what did you see as it pertains to Bella?" Carlisle asked if trying to guide the answers out of Alice.

"The visions I had of Bella all pertained to what we are going through now."

"GOD DAMN ALICE! COULD YOU STOP BEING SO VAGUE? I want answers and I am going to get them." Carlisle shouted.

Never in all my years living with the Cullens had I see Carlisle loose control like that and by the amounts of shock radiating throughout the room no one had ever seen that either.

"Carlisle?" Esme called quietly.

"Don't Esme. Just don't. I am sick of it; sick and tired of the games all of you have decided to play. Do I look like a fool to you, any of you?"

"None of this makes any sense. Do you Edward honestly expects me to believe that there was no way you could have told me this? Do you honestly believe that I buy your story on not being able to talk to me at all? I am sure a man like you could have found some way to tell me about Rosalie and her power but you did not." Carlisle continued on his rant.

"Carlisle you need to calm down.' I whispered as I began to shake from the blunt of his anger.

"Yes Jasper you're right. I apologize. Alice continue." Carlisle sighed putting on a carefully designed mask but I knew better. Carlisle was seething and I knew this day would not be ending well.

"Okay." Alice re-started cautiously. "Rosalie always wanted to be a mother and obviously the change prevented that. Anyway for weeks she thought and thought about what she could do and eventually she decided that she would just steal someone's baby as her own. But then you all decided to visit Esme's Isle and she heard of the legends and then her plans changed. So her new mission was to get a human, pregnant. Trust me when I say things would have not turned out well at all when it came to that plan."

"All the while when Jasper and I left to find you, I kept having the same vision over and over: Edward being controlled, gets a girl pregnant, girl gives birth and then dies. Nothing any of you all could have done would have made the outcome any different. All that changed however when the decision was made to move back to Forks."

"It was then that I started having the visions pertaining to Bella."

"Okay hold up for a minute. Where does Emmett come into play here?" Jacob asked from his seat on the floor. "He was part of the group the first time you came to Forks. What was his role?"

"He did not have one. Rosalie simply lusted after him."

"Then why not control him or hell why did she not control every one in the family." Seth interjected.

"She did not have a need to. No one posed a threat. At least, she didn't think anyone posed a threat." Alice said.

"Okay fine…………….even though to me it makes no sense we're going to here the rest of what Alice had to say." Emmett interjected.

"Okay, so now I was telling you about the visions that I was having with Bella. Well those worked out and we got to this point where everything is working out. The only thing left is to find Rosalie."

"Okay then," Emmett stated, "sorry, but I don't believe you."

And he truly did not. Even I had a hard time believing it and I could tell she was telling the truth.

"I am sorry to say but I don't believe it either," Carlisle stated. "It's just to jumble and I fail to see how any of this has occurred."

"Meaning?" Esme interjected.

"Several things don't add up. Firstly why did you not come to me at first Alice? I am positive that I would have found some why to have corrected this without things reaching so far. Secondly, Edward, how was it that you were never able to speak with me by myself? I am sure you had plenty of opportunities." Carlisle stated as he began to pace the living room.

"In my defense, I saw everything working out so I did not really see the point in telling anyone."

"THAT IS NOT A DEFENSE ALICE!!!!!!!!!!!" Carlisle roared sending the coffee table threw the glass window and leaving everyone stunned.

Immediately, Emmett pulled Bella to stand and crouched down in front of her. Even though we knew that there was no way that Carlisle could harm Bella, it was just an instinctual thing for vampire men to protect their mates when danger was around.

"Carlisle," I called as I too rose to my feet. "Calm down, you are scaring Bella. You are scaring your daughters, Alice included." And it was true- Alice was terrified.

Jacob and Seth both took protective stances in front of Esme, Alice, Sangeetta and Varsha. We were all on high alert and terrified as to how to proceed. We had never dealt with a pissed of Carlisle so it was all new to us.

"Carlisle please calm down." Esme pleaded.

"Why should he?" Bella shouted.

"Bella." Esme scolded.

"No, I understand completely what has been going on. You, Alice were my best friend. Out of all the Cullens I trusted you the most besides Emmett and look at what you have done. It's a sick, twisted game of chess you were playing on my life, every one of our lives." She said stepping around Emmett but still staying in the range of his arms.

"Edward, I love you like a brother. I see that now but please you have to understand that to me none of this makes sense. And you Alice," Bella sneered her anger rising, "are just like Rosalie if not worst. This family gave you their trust and now you throw it back to them like it meant nothing. Today because of you and your games playing ruler, Esme and Carlisle may have to destroy one of their children. Are you that cruel to make your parents endure the lose of a child Alice?"

"Bella," Emmett cooed as he took her into his arms.

"Emmett I need to think." She pleaded with him turning the full force of her eyes on him.

Instantly he complied.

"Where will you go?" He asked tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Forks. I want to see Charlie." She said placing both her hands on his chest and leaning into him.

"Okay, I'll call the hospital. We'll leave as soon as you are ready."

"Em, you can't. You just started at the hospital. I'll go by myself."

"No you won't." I interjected. "I agree Emmett has to stay here but I don't like the idea of you going anywhere by yourself. I'll take her Em. Lord knows I need to get out of here."

"Go get your things." Emmett said kissing Bella's forehead.

"Don't need anything except my purse. I have clothes in Forks. Jazz you need anything?" Bella asked picking up her purse from the hall.

"No, I'm good." I said walking out to the garage and getting into the drivers seat of Bella's car.

I then watched as she hugged Esme and Carlisle and assured them that she would be back soon; that she just needed time to adjust. Edward, Jacob and Seth tried to crush her to death while Varsha and Sangeetta gave her delicate hugs. I then watched as Bella passed Alice without so much as a glance and walked back into Emmett's arms.

Even from this distance I could feel the love between those two.

Gently, Emmett opened the car and placed Bella into the seat next to me.

"Take care of her Jasper or else I will kill you."

All I did was nod as I reversed back only to have a sobbing Alice come and stand in front of the car

You can't be serious. Please." Alice sobbed clutching at her non- beating heart as if trying to hold it together.

"Be realistic Alice. You know where I stand when it comes to Bella. You were playing a game of chess with her life, with all their lives, Emmett and Edward included. How could you honestly think I would still want you after this?"

"Jasper, please don't leave." Alice cried again.

"Too late Alice. My sister has left and so will I."

Then I looked on as Edward and Emmett pulled a flailing Alice back into the house and it was then that Bella and I started our journey to Forks.
