Bella's POV

I woke up very un comfy I tried to stretch in the small space I had, which failed. I Sighed and rubbed my eyes of the sleep that had gathered.

I heard a light laugh and turned to see who it belonged to…Disappointment filled me as I realised it was Rosalie. She was staring at me with almost black eyes.

"You need to hunt Rose" I stated.

"I know…I'll…I'll do it later, Kay?" she said, her gaze flicking from me to jasper and back again.

"Okay…" I looked out the window.

"Where are we?" I asked after a moment silence.

"About 280 miles from Mexico…" Jasper's strained voice answered and I looked at the front mirror, to get abetter look at him as it was reflecting.

He was staring at me with pitch Black eyes.

"Jay…I think it's dinner time " I whispered sadly. He slowly closed his eyes in agony and shook his head.

"Bella's right Jasper" Rosalie confirmed and she lay her hand on his knee. He jerked away from her touch and growled at her.

"I am old enough to make my own decisions" he growled.

There was silence for another 3 hours…

My stomach was making it's self known, I instantly cursed myself.

"Jazz…can we stop at a Café for Bella?" Rosalie's concerned eyes lay on me. Jasper followed her gaze and nodded slowly…then drove for half an hour until we found a Café…we got out and an awkward silence filled the air. I heard Jasper suck in a breath before opening the door for me and Rosalie.

I went and got a ham sandwich and some coke, and sat down ungracefully with Jasper and Rosalie. Jasper's eyes flashed back and forth, surveying the situation. He looked so tense and un natural. I lay my hand ontop of his, his shock filled black eyes met mine and he raised an eye brow.

"You need to relax" I said firmly.

"I cant" he whispered sadly, looking at the floor. His voice was so filled with agony…

"Jay, why are you so afraid?…tell us" I pleaded leaning forward a bit.

His face went hard and he stood up quickly.

"The Major is not scared" he hissed at me. "I am the nightmares of humans and vampires alike…" he growled before quickly leaving. I sighed.

"It will get better" Rose stated.

"but when?" I wailed.

"After his wounds have healed" she gave me a sad smile, and inclined that I eat. I nodded and dug in.

10 minutes later and a bathroom break, we were ready to leave. We found Jasper by the car, silently waiting.

We all stood in a triangle, awkwardly.

"We should run from here" Jasper blurted out suddenly.

Rosalie giggled and Jasper sighed, smirking a little.

"Why?" I asked looking at both of them.

"Because we are 60 miles from Mexico…we are more venerable in a vehicle" he stated, before looking at Rosalie. She shrugged.

"What?" I asked irritated.

"We are discussing who should carry you Darlin'" Jasper conformed…wow…Darling?…His moods were giving me whiplash.

A blush formed on my cheeks and Jasper chuckled quietly to himself.

"Isabella" Jasper asked. I was going to give him a row for using my full name but decided against it when I noticed how perfect my name sounded on his lips, I squished my eyes shut for a second getting rid of the dirty things I wanted to do to Jasper. I re-opened them to see him smirking and Rosalie giggling.

I took a deep breath "Yes Jasper?"

"Who would you like to ride with?" He asked in his texas accent and I blushed a deeper shade of red, it sounded so wrong!

He chuckled.

Rose intervened "I think you should ride with Jasper Bella…I….I'm not sure if I can handle you so close" I nodded and jasper nodded.

I hopped on Jaspers back and we started running;

I felt Jasper's muscles underneath me and I was instantly relaxed. My vision went blurry and I fell asleep.

…...

I was awoken by me getting lifted. I Gasped and sat upright. I realised I was in the arms of Rosalie. I looked around for jasper…not finding him, tears ran down my face.

"Bella what's wrong?" Rosalie asked, slowing down her strides to sit me on a fallen tree. We were currently in the forest.

"He's left hasn't he?" I sobbed out.

She looked shocked for a second then shook her head `no` vigorously;

"No…he's hunting. He is leaving in a few hours though…" she trailed off.

Suddenly rose was in front of me, crouched down and growling.

"Rose…" I was cut off by 2 vampires hurdling towards Rosalie and me.

She roared and launched herself towards them, instantly in battle.

I screamed in panic and shot up to my feet.

Sadly enough, I fell over like the weak human I am…

A long gash was clearly visible, and blood was leaking out. I gasped as a Vampire's shadow loomed over me.

The nomad male grabbed my arm and hauled me up,

"Get off, of me!…Rosalie! Jasper!" I sobbed.

The man smiled evilly, showing all his sharp teeth and I cowered as far away as I could.

I heard the sound of ripping flesh and I managed to get a peak of Rosalie. She had ripped one o the nomads heads off. I gulped and looked up to the red eyes of my capture.

His mouth went over my gash and licked it…

"Jasper!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"No one can hear your screams" the nomad laughed in my face, and he moved the hair from my neck, exposing it to him. Just as he was lowering down a vicious growl was heard from the forest…one that SHOOK the forest. The nomads head snapped up

"shit" he mumbled.

Jasper threw himself at the nomad who had me. Roaring like a lion.

As quick as it started…it ended.

Rose ripped the other nomads head off and Jasper (with a flick of his wrist) did the same to the other one.

Jasper pulled me to his chest and the growling turned to purring.

Rosalie stepped forward and Jasper started growling at her, baring his teeth she raised both hands in the air and looked down, showing her neck. Jasper nodded in satisfaction and started purring at me again.

He checked my body for injuries, growling when he saw the cut on my arm. He also wrinkled his nose in disgust and started nuzzling into me, like a cat. I started giggling and that brought him out his trance.

"oh god Bella….im….im so sorry!" Jasper stuttered before declaring another hunt and leaving.

"rose…what was jasper doing?" I asked confused.

"he smelt that nomad on you and removed his scent with his own" she stated "that's what me and Emmett do allll the time!"

"why are you comparing me and jasper like you and Emmett?" I said warily.

"because Bella….Jasper is your mate"…
