Jasper: Good. I tend to do th-
Bella: Jasper Hale Whitlock!
Chloe: Ooooh Full name!
Jasper: Bella! I-I didn't see you there.
Bella: You leave Chloe along. Chasing her through multiple worlds is mean. How would you feel if I was being chased all over the place only to ask for the person to kill me?
Jasper: *guilty frown* Yeah…I'm sorry.
Bella: Good cowboy. *pecks Jasper's cheek* Now Chloe. Let's go grab a milkshake and I can tell you about my family.
Chloe: Awesome. I can tell you all about my Max, Victoria and especially my Cinnamon Bun Kate!

Peter: *panicked expression then scowls* Damn you.

Chapter Twenty-Two
Forks, Washington
Cullen Residence – Bella Swan
"Hahaha! When it comes to Super Smash Brothers, I always win!" Emmett shouted while Rosalie and I glared at him.
"Using Metaknight is a sin in this game," I grumbled out.
"Don't get made at my hella good skills," Emmett said with a grin, which made Rosalie roll her eyes.
"Knew we shouldn't have stopped off at Arcadia Bay. That girl was a bad influence on you," Rosalie said before she stood up and said "I'm going to go work out for a while. Call me if you need me."
My eyes immediately widened.
Alice once told me that Rosalie was a black belt in Muay Thai. If I want Jasper to come back home, I need to prove my strength and what better way than to learn out to fight from the master herself?
I told Emmett "I'll be back to beat your ass," before I scrambled off the floor and ran after Rosalie while I shouted "Hey wait up Rosalie!"
Rosalie paused and turned her head to me inquisitively and asked "What's up Bella?"
"I want you to teach me how to fight," I told her.
Rosalie stared at me for what seemed like an eternity before she turned away and said "Follow me downstairs."
Downstairs?
I was unaware there was a downstairs.
I nodded and followed her to a door in the kitchen and walked down the stairs behind her and once we were in the basement area, there was dozens of punching bags all over the place, hanging on off the ceiling and hovering over the ground.
"A lot of people don't know this but we vampires live in a world of cardboard box. Always taking constant care not to break something. To break someone. Never allowing ourselves to lose control, even for a moment, or someone could die. Each day before we interact with humans, we come down here to practice holding back. I'm sure we don't need to do to our impeccable memory but we still do out of habit."
Rosalie turned to me and said "This is what I practice. So if you want me to teach you. I'm going to have to practice being gentle with you before we start each day."
"I am putty in your hands, Rosalie-sensei," I responded as I bowed to her, which made Rosalie laugh. "Very well. Since you are down here. Let me practice and then we will begin."
"Sure. This is actually perfect for me to see as well," I said, which prompted a raised eyebrow with her. "Well…I was always curious how you guys control your strength so well. Not to mention, if I am to become a vampire in the future, seeing it beforehand would paint an idea for me."
"Very good," Rosalie replied with a not before she tapped her knuckle on a punching bag. I instantly saw her knuckle go into the bag, spilling out sand. "Damn it. Too hard," Rosalie cursed as she began to tap on it lightly.
I could see the bag begin to tear but her knuckle didn't go through it until the seventh tap, which caused more sand to pour of it. "Still have to be softer," Rosalie told me before she began to tap on a different spot. "So tell me, what made you ask me for training?"
I lowered my head to look at the ground. "How do you feel about Jasper?"
Rosalie paused and replied "Jazz…He's my twin. He was the first person I opened up too other than Emmett. He's fought me, he's fought for me. He's a part of me and I miss him every single day…Why do you ask?"
"Rosalie…I-"
"It's Rose," Rosalie interrupted with a chuckle.
"Rose…" I repeated.
"I figured since you aren't leaving our side anytime soon, I might as well get to know you better and what better way than to tell you what name I prefer," Rose said with a smile in my direction. "Besides, you…kinda wormed your way into my cold dead heart. I didn't know if I could keep up the aloof act any longer."
I give her a large smile and tried resisted the urge to give her a hug for about three seconds before I couldn't take it and hugged her as tight as I could. I felt Rose's body tense in surprise but she immediately hugged me back.
Rose then pulled away and brushed my hair slightly and said "All that by a simple nickname. You sure know how to make a girl feel wanted."
"I'm glad. I always wanted to be friends, no…sisters with you Rose but I was really nervous because it seemed like you hated me," I admitted.
"I never hated you Bella. I just hated that you were willing to give up your humanity…It's a long story that I don't feel comfortable getting into that right now but I never hated you," Rose told me. "Now we've gotten off topic. So tell me why you were asking about Jasper."
"Well…After he left, I felt a large piece of me had gone with him. It only grew worse when Edward pissed me off and fucked off to god knows where. I've been hearing his voice inside of my head at random times…So one of these times, I told him that I become strong for both myself and for him but not only just so he doesn't have to worry about me or fear for my life. I want to be strong enough to bring him back home myself," I finished up with determined grin on my face.
Rose stayed silent for a moment before she gave me a smirk and replied "Then let's get you stronger."
London, Ontario (Canada) -86th Street
Derek Venturi
With a screech of the brakes, I skidded to a stop and hopped out of car and looked around in a panic.
Sam should be here.
But where?
I took out my phone and dialed his number and held the phone to my ear. A few moments passed as the phone ringed but there was no answer. "Come on Sam," I breathed out nervously as I dialed his number again, licking my lips nervously.
It was then I heard the chime of his phone coming from the building across from me, which caused me to look at it. The old Theater building was notorious for being hunted and Sam was afraid of ghosts so for him to go in there…
Desperate times.
I took a breath and ran across the street and noticed that the wood that was in front of a busted up window was on the ground. It looked like it was ripped off but Sam couldn't have done that. These was boarded up really well.
"Ah well," I said to myself before I hopped into the building and landed in a crouch. I rose to my feet and began to dial his number again and while I heard the ringing, this time, I also saw the light from his phone.
It was on the stage way at the end of the building.
But there was only the shine from his phone. "This is not funny Sam…" I murmured before I made my way down the long, broken down, dirtied aisle to the stage and when I looked down at his phone, I saw some liquid on it.
I knelt down and shined my phone on it and realized that it was blood.
And seeing that made my own blood run cold.
"What the hell?" I murmured.
"It seems I wasn't thorough enough," A female voice said from behind me.
I quickly turned around and saw Victoria standing there, a small grin on his face. "Victoria, where is Sam?!" I shouted out in anger at the mere sight of her.
"Your dear friend is currently in the process of joining my army of revenge," she said with a smile on her face.
"What the hell are you talking about lady?" I asked her.
"Why don't I show you what I mean instead?" Victoria said before she leapt towards me with a snarl at a speed I never seen before.
She slammed into me so hard, I know she broke a few ribs and when I landed on the ground, I then noticed that her eyes…Those bloody red eyes seemed to glow.
She had fucking fangs that seemed to grow out of nowhere.
I tried to struggle beneath her but despite her small stature, she was as heavy as cement. "I've been watching you Derek. You are a perfect candidate to join my army. Way more than Sam or any of your other foolish friends."
"W-What did you do to them you sick freak?!" I shouted out.
"Well, I tried to convert them but all of them died from the stress…However, Sam seems to be hanging on. He may be my first success…With you being the second…"
"No way in hell am I going to become whatever the fuck you are!" I yelled out.
"My thoughts exactly," Another voice rang out around us.
Seconds later, a blur collided with Victoria's body and she was off of my body. I quickly scrambled backwards and shined my cellphone light on where the two had landed and to my surprise, it was Jasper and he was fighting Victoria.
They were moving so fast, my eyes could barely keep up.
What type of Dragonball Z shit was this?
What was I watching?
"I should have known a Cullen would interfere in my affairs," Victoria said as she dashed to the right from Jasper.
"I don't know what you planning Victoria but it ends now!" Jasper shouted out as he punched her in the face as hard as possible, which sent her sailing backwards through a wall where Jasper followed but seconds later, he was sent through the wall and slammed into the ground next to the stage.
Jasper rose off of the ground and said "She throws hard."
"Tell me about it…I think I broke a few ribs," I said with a groan.
"I will deal with her and then come back to help you. Just relax here" Jasper said. Instead of feeling panicked, I suddenly felt really calm and assured by this situation.
"Just one question…What the hell are you two?" I asked him.
Jasper gave me a toothy grin and ran back into the hole.
Asshole didn't even answer my question.
London, Ontario (Canada) – Abandoned Theater
Jasper Hale Whitlock
It was a good thing my gut feeling was correct in following Derek here to this place. I barely saved him from becoming a failed vampire. I had heard everything Victoria had said but why was she raising an army?
I leapt through the hole in the wall and was instantly grabbed by the shirt and tossed through another wall, sending my crashing to the cracked tile floor of a bathroom. I flipped to my feet and avoided a roundhouse kick aimed at my head and instantly tackled her through the other side of the wall, ending up in an old dressing room.
I rose up and went to grab her head to rip it from her body but she slipped through from under me and kicked me in the face, which sent my body into the air before it crashed to the ground but I rose to my feet quickly and said "You are really pissing me off."
"Now you see a mere shade of how your wretched family as made me feel," Victoria hissed out before she smirked. "And I intend to pay that back tenfold by wiping you all off of the map. Starting with you."
"I'd like to see you try," I responded with a smirk on my face. However, that was when I smelled several vampire scents.
"You think I didn't know when you and your wretched friends came here?" Victoria questioned as the loud sounds of walls being broken through was heard and the sound of Derek's shout of "Holy shit!" reached my ears.
Holy shit is right.
This…This is not good…
Bella: Oh no! Please tell me things will be ok!
Chloe: That does look pretty heinous…But I'm sure he'll be ok Bells.
Leah: Yeah. Chill out Bella, things will be fine.
Bella: *Worried expression* Jasper please be ok…
