Hi

Does my updating surprise you? Hahaha.

Anyways, here's the second last chapter. No epilogue; there's no need because of the sequel. :D

I've started writing Jasper's companion... I like it so far.

Review if you want to...


Jasper growled.

"Maria," he said angrily.

She smiled at him sweetly, seductively, making me growl.

Jasper was mine.

"Jasper," she said, the lilt in her voice was seductive.

My hands itched to just… kill her.

Jasper felt what I was feeling and walked backwards, his eyes staying on Maria as he did so.

When he reached me, he wrapped his arm around my waist.

I sighed and leaned against him as he gave me everything I needed to feel…

Reassured… happy… safe…

He smiled down at me and mouthed, "I love you and I'm yours."

I smiled back up at him, purring slightly.

Maria cleared her throat, bringing the attention of our entire family to her.

Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Carlisle and Esme all made their way towards us. When they reached us, they stood around us, glaring at Maria.

"I say we settle this," Jasper said seriously. "I know that you are… angry at me for leaving the way I did."

Maria scoffed. "Angry? Jasper darling, the fury that I am feeling is wrath inspiring."

Jasper smiled, but it was not a friendly smile. "You always had a way with words..." from his tone, somewhat sarcastic and light but with an undertone of anger, I could tell that he was talking about how she manipulated him, used him and made him think she loved him.

I, myself, wanted to kill her for that.

Maria giggled, "Oh, you are too kind."

Jasper's gaze transformed into a hard stare. "Let's get this over with, Maria. I don't have all day, and nor do my family."

She scoffed again at the word. "Family? Jasper… your only family is me. Surely you know that by now… come, my love, let's leave this place… let's leave your… pet," she said, looking at me and I growled at her. "Come with me, and we'll run the world the way we want it."

Jasper frowned. "It's quite sad, really, that you think that after everything you put me through I'd just let you play me again." He stepped forward, out of my arms and I nearly went with him. But I knew that he needed to do this by himself. It was his battle. He crouched in front of her. "Let's fight, Maria."

She smiled. "You'll lose."

Jasper chuckled. "I've got too much to leave behind for me to possibly let you kill me. We both know that I'm the better fighter."

I knew what he was doing and I smiled.

"If you make a vampire angry… mostly, by doubting their strength in front of them and others, they'll be blinded by rage. They'll make mistakes…

Use those mistakes."

They collided with a powerful sound that resembled thunder and I flinched, whimpering. Mother stepped forward and pulled me into her arms.

I gripped her arms, half burrowing my head in her chest and half watching their fight.

I needed for my Jazzy to be ok.

If he wasn't, I'd die.

I knew it.

But they were moving so fiercely and so fast that I couldn't really see who was winning.

Grunts and growls, both feminine and masculine sounded until… suddenly… the fighting stopped.

And only one rose to claim the prize of life.


I think we all know who it is... but I thought I'd just give you the cliffy anyways... I liked that line.

:D

Next one as soon as I get some reviews...
