Hello!

Sorry I didn't post this sooner! It's been a great day! (I won't bore you with details, don't worry!)

So thank you for all the marvelous reviews! I'm so close to 1000! I don't know how much I deserve you guys!! I don't know how to repay you so I guess I'll just have to keep posting more chapters! :P

This is Carlisle's POV. You will find out about Jacob now! Tuh-Duh! He's not dead. Next chapter has Sam, Paul, Jared and Leah. Depending on what time I wake up tomorrow I should post relatively soon so get to that reviewing!

I'm writing an even bigger plot twister now and you will all hate (then love) me for it!

More ReviewsMe writing faster!

...Disclaimer goes here...

The low purr of my black Mercedes rumbled beneath me as I pushed the car to a speed even Alice would be proud of. I was nearly 100 miles away from home and I needed to keep Alice calm and to meet with the pack. If I saw him before the pack could get to him, I would rip his head of his body at that moment. I'm not letting him hurt this family more than it already has.

I made it back to our Willow Creek Mansion, as Bella called it, in record time. I looked at the clock as I ripped into the driveway of the home; It had taken me around thirty minutes; give or take a few seconds. I shifted the car into park as soon as I felt the wheel slow mildly. Rosalie wouldn't be too happy about having to fix the brakes.

I ran at a faster than leisurely pace to get to Alice and Jasper's room. Esme was pacing anxiously outside their door, biting her granite nail out of a human pattern that she had yet to break even after so many years. I walked up the stairs and her eyes shifted from the floor in front of her to me. She gasped as she dashed to meet me at the top of the stairs. She threw her arms around me as she sighed heavily into my chest.

"Carlisle, thank god you're home. Alice is a mess! Emmett is due home any moment with the pack and Jasper seems to be in so much pain. Rosalie has been searching for the dog since we found Jasper more than an hour ago! Carlisle, he has to be stopped!" She sobbed into my chest as I held her. I let her continue to sob until she managed to calm herself as she just clung to me. After a few moments she stepped away and whispered to me. "They need you more than I do." She said as she walked to Alice and Jasper's room and she opened the door for me to walk in. I stepped through the door frame to see a sickening sight.

Alice was sitting on the bed with her head on Jasper's chest as his body periodically convulsed in pain. Alice was sobbing and Jasper was moaning in pain. I stepped forward as Esme steadied herself with the door frame. Alice looked up from her spot on Jasper's chest and sat up frantically trying to smooth her hair. The mutt would pay for doing this to my family, I promised myself that much. I had never seen Alice such a wreck even when we left Bella she managed to hold it together somewhat, but this was not like her at all.

"Alice," I said softly, waiting for her to move away from him so I could assess the damages. She shook her head slowly and moved only a few inches away from Jasper. Silver scars were traced down his face and his arms. His shirt was in shreds and I could see silver scars on his chest and stomach. His arm was nearly ripped from his shoulder and his neck had deep scratches still trying to heal. Alice hugged her knees to her chest as she sank into the wall the bed rested against. I walked quickly over to the bed and began looking at Jasper's wounds more closely. I knew there was nothing I could do for him; stitches wouldn't penetrate his skin, he had no blood to absorb morphine or any pain killer, his body would heal itself and although it would be quicker than any human recovery, it would be twice as painful. I ghosted my hand over his scars to make sure everything was healing correctly, even though the vampire healing would take care of that so I didn't have to. Jasper's eyes were still closed, and if I didn't know any better, I would have believed him to be unconscious.

"Jasper, it's Carlisle, can you hear me?" He kept his eyes closed as he moaned in response. Alice sobbed into her knees.

"Carlisle, please, help him..." Her sobs were muffled by her hands and her knees.

"Alice, you know as well as I do, I can't do anything to help him..." I felt so guilty. My son was lying here in immense pain and my daughter was sobbing and there was nothing I could do for either of them. I felt so helpless.

"DAMMIT, CARLISLE! You're the doctor! YOU HAVE TO FIX HIM!" Alice screamed hysterically. Jasper's eyes shuttered open. I sank slightly because I knew she was right, and what she was feeling was the worst feeling you could endure; watching your loved one lie in such pain for hours not being able to help him at all.

Jasper opened his mouth to talk and even then a moan replaced words as he tried again, "Alice, I'm okay. Carlisle is right, there's nothing he can do. I'm okay, I am. Everything is okay. Emmett and Ed are going to find the mutt and we're all going to make sure he dies a painful death. Alice, please calm down. I'm okay, everything is okay." His voice was so weak, and this moment was so tender, I felt like I was invading. I slowly stepped towards the door where Esme waited with a sullen face. I watched the two of them from the door as I embraced my beautiful Esme.

"Jasper you're not okay! Look at you!" Her voice was barely a whisper. "Oh, Jazz, I'm so sorry I let this happen. I'm sorry." She sobbed.

"Alice, love, please come lie over here. I may be in pain, but it doesn't hurt as much as watching you like this. Lie with me, Al, I'll be better in no time flat." He whispered. She nodded as she moved closer to him and lay down next to him and placed her head onto his chest. Even with Jasper injured Alice looked so small against him. I closed the door softly as they closed their eyes almost in sync. Esme and I walked downstairs slowly.

"That was the first time Jasper talked since we found him..." Esme whispered as our hands clasped tighter around each other's as we sat down onto the love seat. I sat down first and she sat nearly in my lap as she rested her head against my chest and curled her knees onto the seat next to her and placed her unoccupied hand in her lap as I absentmindedly rubbed circles into the hand I was holding. We waited patiently for Emmett to arrive with the pack. This matter could no longer be avoided. We had to find Jacob and we had to kill him before he could hurt anyone else.
