A/N: Okay so I didn't explain this crossover well I think. This story doesn't have a real posting schedule as I have a family, school work, and other stories that take precedent, but I couldn't keep this in any longer and needed to start this one as well.

This is not during any real timeline, the originals timelines or plots except for bits and pieces probably won't make an appearance. One reason why is, I haven't seen the beginning of TVD in a while, so I'm a bit rusty on its timeline. TV shows are so intricate and have to constantly have sub plots that it would be a headache to work with. I'm more familiar with the Twilight-verse so that might be more in store. Also, most crossovers I read have Bella moving to Mystic Falls, which is why I changed it to the Scooby Gang moving to Forks instead.

Another thing, I had a guest reviewer who was upset that this was a Damon/Bella fic and not a Jasper/Bella one. While I love Jasper/Bella, why would I write a crossover if it was going to be Jasper/Bella? I'm all for Jas/Bells (also have a plunny for that delicious couple), but I really wanted Damon cus who doesn't want him?
Anyways Peace, Love, Slyther,

Gimi aka Jess

Carlisle helped Edward pop his shoulder into place while Rosalie went to pull the stake out of the Volvo's radiator and take a look at the damage.

"GAAAhh!" Edward screamed in pain, not because of his shoulder, but because of Bella. "Carlisle, what has happened to my Bella?" He whispered in defeat, not forgetting the look on Bella's face while her new friend was holding his arm. There was a bit of anger her eyes when she talked to him, but there was no love. He had known he had hurt her, but he didn't realize that he would have indeed lost her. "How could she believe that I didn't love her?"

"I don't know son," Carlisle said with regret. He hated to see someone in his family so hurt, especially Edward. He and Edward had a special bond that could only come from being Carlisle's first companion. He had thought that the family was truly doing a good thing for leaving Bella out of this supernatural world, but now it seemed that not only was she part of it, but she also embraced it, and with many different creatures by her side.

"Let us go home and discuss this new development, but I must insist that you and Alice leave this coven and Bella alone Edward." The bronze haired boy looked like he wanted to argue but Carlisle put his foot down as the head of their family, "No, this is not up for debate Edward. For whatever reason; Bella has surrounded herself with many people, people she considers family. She will not see your reasoning. If you push her, you will lose, and we don't know what exactly we are up against. Your past relationship aside, she seems to be very involved with this Damon person. She is not the same girl you left behind, and you don't have a claim to her."

"But-" Edward began.

"Leave her alone Edward!" Emmett Cullen yelled, throughout the confrontation, Emmett had stayed silent, watching his beloved baby sister and his former brother interact. He felt a bloom of jealousy as Jasper was the one to calm and comfort Bella, not her lover, but Jasper. The vampire who once tried to kill her over a drop of blood had been holding her and acting as he should have. "You had your chance; you chose wrong. We shouldn't have left her."

"She could have died that night!" Edward yelled, "She could have been killed over a mere human accident, I couldn't have her live in our world where a paper cut could be fatal!" He dropped to his knees, the fight left his hard body, "It made sense to take the predators away from the prey."

Rosalie scoffed as she threw the stake at the back of Edward's head. The wooden weapon shattered on impact. Her family all looked at her in surprise. "Don't act like fucking martyr Edward!" She spat out at her brother, "If you were serious about that stance, you wouldn't have brought her into our world in the first place! You did it because you thought you had a handle on your bloodlust and it made you realize that even the great Edward Masen Cullen is fallible." Edward swallowed the venom that had pooled in his mouth just at the thought of Bella's blood, as Rosalie continued, "You might forget brother, but I do not. It was you who tossed the poor girl into the glass. Jasper was contained until you did that. You were stupid to think you could bring her into the den of lions and she would not look like a steak. You think you lost a mate? After only four months? You were able to leave her with minimal pain. I lost a brother of sixty years. You will leave them alone, or I will rip you limb from limb."

Rosalie sighed and looked Edward in the eye, "You and Alice believe that because you have gifts, you know what's best, I am telling you, you are wrong. I won't let you cost me a chance to get my brother back."

"What about Bella?" Alice finally spoke up.

Rosalie looked at her sister, "Bella has made her choice, Jasper stands by her as family. Jasper will always be my brother, she is family."

"Now she's family?" Edward asked shocked, "You were mean and distant to her the entire time we were together, but now because of Jasper, she's family?"

Rosalie nodded resigned, "Carlisle said it best, she is different. Jasper is a good person, no matter his past. No matter how much you remind him of his past misdeeds, he is different as well. He would have never spent touched Bella before, for fear of hurting her, today he… He's different."

Emmett agreed with his wife, and the two of them walked back to his Jeep and drove home. He needed time to process what had happened that day, maybe it was time for him and Rose to got on a hunting trip to decompressed what they learned.

OoOoOoO

Edward Cullen had never felt so defeated in his existence. He had been explicitly told by his father to leave Bella alone, but all of his instincts were to protect her. She was the sun of his world; he needed to keep her safe. He had gone home with his family but was currently sitting outside of her home, up in a tree where he could see her room. No matter what Carlisle said, his Bella needed him, he knew it.

Edward contemplated the last year of his life; it had been stagnant before Bella, he knew that now. He was in school for something to do, for the ruse that was his life. He lived among the humans, but never actually knowing what it was like to be one any longer. He didn't understand the mind of children today. Girls were vapid and vain; boys were immature and violent if video games were the primary pastime of teens today. He didn't understand their need to grow up, to be promiscuous, to be reckless. Didn't they understand that life was precious? It should be savored, not wasted on computers games and porn; if the thoughts of his so called peers were any indication.

Then he met Bella. Sweet, beautiful Bella. She was his hope, his… Future, he knew it to be true. She was not vain; she was not afraid of him or his family. She loved him for who he was, not for what his condition made her believe. She saw him as he once was, he needed her. He should have never left her; he should have taken her away with him, just the two of them. She would have been happy; he wouldn't have turned her. No, he wouldn't damn something so beautiful as her soul to a life of a monster but would have lived with her contently for many years. Then, when his beautiful mate passed on, he would join her in seeking his own end.

Edward sighed at the lovely image of what could have been if he had not been selfish enough to leave her. As the sky grew darker, he watched as Charlie pulled up in his police cruiser and walked into the house. He then watched Jasper; his traitorous sibling as he walked into the living room as well. Edward growled his disapproval as he watched Jasper walk into Bella's room and grab some books and leave again. Charlie and Jasper both left the house and drove off in the same red convertible from earlier that day, only staying long enough to pack a bag and leave. Edward looked on confused, where was Bella? It was late; surely she should be home by now. Newton's, where she had worked the previous year, had closed twenty minutes before. Even accounting for the drive, Bella should have been home five minutes before Charlie pulled up.

A crack appeared on the ancient tree where Edward had hit it, bark falling the thirty feet to the ground. What was going on?

OoOoOoO

"Darlin', we're home," Jasper called out as he and Charlie walked into the door of the house. Caroline called from the kitchen where the friends and family were sitting around the big island and table finishing assignments and waiting for the dinner that was promised to them by the Salvatore brothers.

Jasper dropped Bella's books onto the table next to her and kissed her on the cheek. Having just popped a cherry tomato into her mouth, she hummed in appreciation and squeezed his waist in thanks. Walking over to Caroline, he smiled at her, and gave a tender kiss, as Bella looked on with approval. It's not that she hated Alice, in fact, Caroline was very similar to Alice, it was that Jasper was not oppressed and constantly reminded of his past with Caroline. Alice had seen his past in visions and heard accounts from Edward when Jasper couldn't hide away the memories. While Caroline knew of his past and how bloody it was, she only cared about the man he was today. That is what Bella loved about her brother's new girl. She loved him despite his past, not as a condition of his control. She loved him unconditionally.

"Someone was watching the house," Jasper announced to the crowd of people in the room. "I didn't get a good whiff at who, but it was a Cullen for sure."

Bella snorted and continued with her trigonometry homework, "There is only one Cullen who was pervy enough to be watching the house. 'Edward, Let Me Breathe over you while you sleep, Cullen'." Bella shivered, "Why did I never find that as creepy as it was?"

"Because you are a sick and twisted girl who enjoys being watched," Damon called out from the stove as he stirred the sauce.

Bella chuckled at his words and shook her head, "Is that why I'm with you now? You have a freaky fetish of watching me while I sleep?"

"Only when you call out my name baby girl," Damon shot back at her with a wink.

"Do you realize that her father is in the room," Charlie asked as he took the beer that Stefan handed him, "Eighteen or not, she's my baby girl so no talking about sleeping with my daughter." Charlie shivered at the thought of the images in his head as the room laughed.

Bella snickered at her father, "Of course dad." Charlie reached over and smacked her in the arm as she chuckled again, "But really. What do we do? I won't go back to the house if he's going to be staring into my windows trying to get in again."

"Don't worry Allie," Damon called over his shoulder as he stirred his sauce, "You won't be alone. Someone will always be there."

"Yeah, Jasper," Charlie said firmly as the room laughed. Damon raised his hands in defeat as he plated dinner. As if they were a well-tuned machine, one by one the group began to move food to the table. Family meals were a new tradition, it didn't happen every night, but the group knew that it was important to them all, so they made it a priority, and with the day Bella had, it was a given that night was family night.

Bella looked around the table as laughter permeated through the air, these people, the mish mash of supernatural beings around the dining table, these were her family. It wasn't the family she had once thought she would end up with, but she was grateful for each one of them.

OoOoOoO

Jasper sniffed the air, and he grinned. He could smell it, his kill. In the distance, he could see a mountain lion stalking a small herd of deer. Jasper snickered at the buffet of prey in front of him. Moving slowly from down wind he waited until the lion was preoccupied with his own feast when he pounced from behind. Grabbing the cat's neck with one hand and the jaws with the other, he shifted it slightly and killed the beast before he sunk his fangs in. Taking deep pulls off the hot liquid, he gorged himself on the carnivore, glad he did not have to settle for smaller game today when he heard a rustling of leaves to the left of him.

Jasper crouched down in a predatory stance when he caught a whiff of his former twin. Coming out of the crouch, but still wary, he stood to see Rosalie and Emmett standing not forty feet from him.

"Jazz," Rosalie said softly.

"Rose, Em," Jasper said with a small smile. He had been hunting animals for over sixty years and had perfected the perfect kill. Even though he had just fed, he did not have a drop of blood on his clothes.

"How ya been Jazzy?" Emmett asked his former brother. The two of them sauntered over to Jasper as he relaxed his stance.

"I'm good, it's been a hard year, but we are fine," Jasper said, including Bella in his assessment. He knew they wouldn't be to keep the dynamic duo out of their heads so Alice and Edward would soon hear about this little meeting, if not already.

"What happened Jazz? How did you end up with Bella? I thought you had gone to Peter and Charlotte's?" Rosalie asked quietly, not wanting to upset Jasper. She knew that if she had gone about it the same way that Edward had, Jasper would not hesitate to leave. She wanted her brother in her life, no matter what happened.

Jasper sighed and turned to walk further into the woods with Rosalie and Emmett following behind him. Finding a couple of large boulders, he sat down, and the other two mimicked his actions. If anyone came across the three vampires, it would just look like they were resting on a long hike.

"I ran that night after the party; I was running all the way to Denali when I stopped halfway." Jasper started his tale, "I stopped and hunted, feeling horrible that I had almost killed a girl I was starting to consider family, to consider my sister. After I had drained as many animals as I could handle, I knew I had needed to go back and make it right. Alice had texted me that Edward had wanted everyone to leave, to continue to Denali and they would meet me there, so I went. I didn't want to, but I did it anyway.." Jasper looked up at Emmett and Emmett understood. Emmett almost refused to go; he couldn't stand the thought of leaving his little sister unprotected. He would have stayed behind, but Rosalie wouldn't break away from the family, and he couldn't leave his mate.

"I waited for everyone to get there and I was going to apologize to Edward for ruining his relationship but, as you know, he never made it to Denali."

Rose nodded her head, Edward never went with them, he had gone off to mourn the loss of his relationship, only coming back after months away.

"Well I couldn't stand it, everyone was sad and upset, and I couldn't take all the emotions from the family. Alice could barely look at me, and I could feel the disgust and hurt rolling off her in droves. So two weeks after we were all there, I told her I would leave, I was sorry and not to look for me. That was it. I left, intending to stay with Peter and Charlotte."

"I started to go to their home in Montana, but I had to go to Forks first and apologize to Bella. I know that Edward didn't want anyone to contact her, but I had to make sure she knew it was all my fault and that I was sorry." Jasper said, he jumped up and began to pace the forest floor in front of Emmett and Rosalie, knowing the next part of his story would make everyone uncomfortable. "I went to her house, intending to wait for her to get home from school and she hadn't gone that day. The pain that radiated from her room was more than I had ever felt in my life, including during the change."

"We don't ever think that humans can feel as deeply as we do, our emotions are heightened so much that we take it for granted. There was so much sorrow, self-loathing, despair, and anger." Jasper paused his pacing and stood, looking out into the trees, "Bella was feeling so unworthy, and unloved, if I could have taken my own life, I'm sure I would have. Just to get away from all the pain."

"It was that bad Jazz?" Emmett whispered.

Jasper nodded, "It was, I waited for Charlie to get home, I didn't know if I could handle facing Bella on my own, but when he got home and saw me. He pulled his gun on me." Jasper chuckled darkly, "I'm sure he would have shot me, but Bella heard my voice and ran down the stairs and out the door, jumping into my arms. I was terrified, I had never hugged a human before, I was sure I would drain her in front of Charlie, but her emotions stopped me. For the first time in hours, she was elated; she had been bursting with love and affection, she had started crying saying she was sorry. Can you believe her, I almost killed her, and she said she was sorry for being clumsy."

Emmett and even Rosalie let out a small chuckle. They both knew Bella well enough to know that is exactly what she would do.

"Well, I carried her inside because she had a death grip on me. It was a good thing that I didn't need to breathe because she was holding onto my neck like a vice. Charlie grilled me about the family; I had told him that I had left after the party to go to Spain on a trip and hadn't known about what happened after I left. Charlie could see how much Bella needed someone; I guess she had been almost comatose up until my visit and that was the first time she had been out of bed in weeks. She asked if I could stay and I had been staying on the couch of the Swan house ever since."

"Wasn't that dangerous? Were you hunting daily still? I know you needed to before we left when you were around her." Rosalie asked genuinely curious.

Jasper smiled at his sister, "I was worried about it, and in the beginning, I would go for short hunts around the house. Bella was happy I was there, but she was still almost vegetative whenever I wasn't around. I tried to go hunting while she was sleeping and she would have night terrors and scream her head off that I had to move a camp bed into her room and pretend to sleep on it. After a week I had to tell her I needed a proper hunt and had to go overnight. By the time I got back, she was a mess and Charlie had contemplated shooting me again. He would mumble things about how to make it look like a hunting accident." Emmett snorted in amusement at the thought of Charlie shooting Jasper.

"When did Charlie find out about you? He had to know there was something off about you." Rosalie asked.

Jasper nodded, "Bella and I ended up telling him about me a couple weeks in because she knew I had to go on a real hunt and she began to show signs of falling apart again. Charlie had gotten mad because she had made progress and was regressing because of my overnight away. He had almost kicked me out when she yelled it out. Screamed out that I had to hunt Bambi because it's what I needed to do. Charlie was confused, it wasn't hunting season and was about to arrest me for poaching," Jasper laughed at the thought now, "Bella calmed down enough to tell him about the legends of the tribes about Cold Ones and why the tribe doesn't like us. She had me show Charlie my strength and speed. Then Charlie began to freak out, grabbed a bat he kept in the hall closet. He actually broke it on my arm when Bella started to get scared that he would make me leave and huddled on the couch, hyperventilating. I calmed her down; she had taken to sitting on my lap so I could stroke her hair when she had a severe attack. Charlie almost had a stroke until she soothed. After that, he sat down, and I told him my story. My whole story. He wanted to kick me out, it had only been a few weeks after all, but Bella would begin to panic at every mention of it that he was backed into a corner. After that, he made me go out and hunt every week. Still does, he sat with Bella or would take her to Billy's to hang out with Jake, anything to take her mind off of me leaving."

"What about the pack," Emmett asked curiously, "I thought they hated our kind, but they seemed pretty cosy with you guys at the house."

Jasper laughed and looked at his watch, "That is a story for another time, I have to go. I have to pick up Caroline, the girls have something planned, and she needs to go to Port Angeles to see if she can find supplies. Otherwise, it's a trip to Seattle."

"Jazz," Rosalie said, standing up and reaching for his arm, she noticed he was warmer than normal, "Jazz I am so sorry I never called you. Alice had told us you wanted a break, which hearing from us would be painful. I can't believe I never called you, my brother."

Jasper pulled her into a hug, "It's okay Rosalie. I understand. I never called either, I probably wouldn't have answered, Bella was not up to hearing anything Cullen for a long time, and she is my top priority."

"What about this Caroline?" Emmett asked, waggling an eyebrow, "She a top priority?"

Jasper smiled, "She is, but Bella is family. She and Charlie are my family first."

"What about us?" Rosalie asked with tears brimming her eyes.

"I don't know Rose," Jasper answered truthfully, "You are family, but you don't need me. Bella and Charlie, they need me. They both accept me for who I was and who I am. It's refreshing not to have to be ashamed of my past. We are all family, our group of friends are always there for us, it's different than it was with the Cullens."

"I still love you like my brother Jazz," Rosalie said, Jasper could feel the hurt and love radiating from his twin.

"I love you too Rosie," Jasper said, letting his affection flow back to her, "I always will, you are my sister, but the rest of them, the Cullens, aside from Emmett and you, they aren't my family anymore."

Rosalie's beautiful face crumbled and Jasper sighed, "Don't be upset darlin'?" he said with his Texas twang, "Tell you what, come over tonight to the big house, talk to Bella and the gang."

"Bella hates me Jazz," Rosalie said, regretfully.

Jasper shook his head, "No Rosie, Bella has never hated you. She knew you didn't like her much, so she gave you space, but you were the only one she was not hurt by. You didn't pretend to love, only to desert her. She misses you and Emmett; she never doubted that Emmett loved her, would have died for her. But she was closest to Alice, and Alice's departure hurt her more than anyone else. Come tonight; I will make sure everyone gives you both a chance. But make sure Edward and the rest of the family stay away."

"Jazz will you explain this," Emmett asked gesturing to Jasper's new appearance, "To us too?"

Jasper gave him a small grin and shrugged. Seeing a confused look on Rosalie's face he said, "Look; my friends are talented and extremely loyal to family, if they feel that Bella will be hurt, they won't hesitate to remove the pain. Especially Damon."

"Who is this Damon?" Emmett asked protectively.

"Damon is her savior, Damon is her equal. He loves her with everything he is. He's been through a lot and has been hurt worse than anyone I have ever known. He is right for her; he knows how to handle her fragile heart and her, his." Rose nodded and with a final hug and a promise to come that evening, the former siblings parted in the woods.
