Jasper's POV:

When we got home Rosalie and Emmett finished the final touches for the party. Bella and Annie came back with us. Alice and Rosalie took Annie and Bella to Alice's room for some girl time. Bella didn't want to go but Annie asked her to come so she went, involuntarily. I stayed behind with the guys in the living room waiting for our girls to come back. I would often look up to the room and wonder what's going on with Annie.

"She's doing okay," Edward said and I look at him.

"For now," I said looking up at the second floor. Carlisle came and gently squeezed my shoulder.

"Jasper-"

"No, we all know. Her heart is giving up. It's not beating normally. She's dying, I know it and so do you,"I told them and this time they didn't say anything, they just stared at me with pity.

"The worst part of it all... she knows, she knows she's dying-"I stopped talking when Alice, Rosalie, Bella, and Annie came downstairs. Annie turns to me with a small smile and I walked up to her.

"You look beautiful," I told her before taking her hand. With each passing day, her body temperature gets colder and colder.

Annie smiles and nods. We began dancing, I didn't care that we were the first ones dancing in an empty room. I wanted to make her feel special, let her know that I need her with me that I cannot be without her. Eventually, more and more people began showing up and yet we didn't stop slow dancing. However, with more people coming in I felt myself get tense, uncomfortable with all the humans in here. But I didn't want to leave, I wanted to let Annie have a normal date for once. She didn't go to her prom because of me, the least I could do is let her enjoy her graduation party. At some point, Annie saw my struggle and lead us away from the party. We ended up in my bedroom, on the balcony.

"Thank you,"I told her and she smiles at me.

"Anything for you," she said and I nod, I didn't know how to respond to that.

"Annie, talk to me... please"I begged her, instead of answering she looks out into the woods. She continues to look out for a couple of minutes before sighing and turns to me with a grave expression. She takes my hand, lead us to the bed, and she turns to me. I have a bad feeling about this.

"Jasper, you know I love you, right?" she asked and I nod.

"That I would do anything for you," she said and once again I nod.

"There's something you need to know about me and I don't know how you'll react" I stared at her confused, what does she mean?

"But know that I love you. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Without you I am nothing," Annie starts to cry.

"Shh, baby, don't cry...you don't have to tell me if you don't want too," I said wiping away her tears. However, she shook her head.

"No, I have to tell you. I can't keep it a secret any longer. It's driving me insane, I don't know how long I have left-"

"Annie, what do you mean?" I asked getting scared. She knows whats happening to her and she isn't telling me.

"Jasper, I am not fr-" Alice barges into the room, looking alarmed and scared. She looks at Annie worried.

"We're in trouble," Alice said.

We followed Alice into another room. I didn't realize that everyone already left. The whole family plus three of the wolves were in the room. Alice looked worried, something was troubling her. The wolves turned to Annie, all still worried for her, Annie turned to them and slightly smiled at them. I stood next to Annie, holding her close to me.

"They'll be here in four days," Alice said concerned.

"This could turn into a bloodbath," Carlisle said looking around the room.

"Who's behind it?" Edward asked Alice.

"I didn't see anyone I recognized... maybe one," she said, Edward stares at her and frowns.

"I know his face. He's a local, Riley Biers," Edward said.

"The missing kid?" Bella asked looking at Annie.

"He didn't start this" Edward said.

"Whoever did it, is staying out of the action," Alice says glancing at Annie.

"They must be playing with your blind spots in your visions," Carlisle told Alice.

"Either way the army is coming and there aren't enough to protect the town," I said holding Annie closer.

"Hold up, what damned army?" Jacob says stepping up.

"Newborns, our kind," Carlisle says to Jacob.

"What are they after?" Embry said glancing at Annie. Their emotions were worried, I know they're worried for Annie, they see her as a little sister.

"They were passing around Bella's scent, her red blouse," Alice says and then she turns to Annie, looking at her apologetically.

"They also had Annie's heather grey sweater being passed around" I felt Annie tense, feeling angry I looked at Alice.

"What the hell do they want with Annie" I yelled out. Alice looked at me with a sad look.

"Riley, he umm, took a personal liking towards Annie," Alice said making me angrier.

"They're after Annie and Bella? What does that mean?" Jacob said turning to looks at Annie then at Alice.

"It means an ugly fight with lives lost" Carlisle response. Jacob and the other boys all shared a look before nodding.

"Alright we're in," Jake said making Bella shake her head.

"No, you'll get yourself killed. No way" she says looking at them.

"I wasn't asking for permission," Jacob said.

"Edward," Bella said turning to Edward, hoping he'll back her up, however, he doesn't agree with her.

"It means more protection for you and Annie," Edward said turning to me and I nod.

"Jacob, do you believe Sam would come to an agreement?" Carlisle asked Jacob.

"As long as we get to kill some vampires" Jacob smirked.

"Jasper?" Carlisle asked and everyone turns to me, well besides Annie, it seems she's in her own little world.

"They'll give us the numbers. Newborns won't even know they exist. That'll give us an edge," I told him.

"We'll need to coordinate," Carlisle says. Bella turns to Carlisle worried.

"Carlisle, they're gonna get hurt," Bella said.

"We'll all need some training, fighting newborns require knowledge that Jasper has. You're welcome to join us." Carlisle tells the boys ignoring Bella.

"Just name the place and time," Jacob tells Carlisle.

"Jake, you don't know what they're getting themselves into," Bella said to Jacob and the boys. Jacob and the boys only smirked at her and Bella turns to Annie for help.

"Annie tell them something" Bella begs her. We all turn to Annie who had a blank look. It seems like she wasn't even paying attention, worried I gently pushed her shoulder and nothing.

"Annie?" I called out her name but then her eyes slightly became white.

"Annie?" I called again and her eyes went back to its hazel color. Minutes later, Annie shook her head and looks up, frowning. Then she gets angry, mumbles something then walks out of the room. Confused I followed her and the others follow as well. Entering the living room we got surprised. Annie, I and the others stop when we saw our visitor, sitting on a chair staring at us.

"Hello," he said looking at Annie. I pushed her behind me, something wasn't right. The way he was staring at her, it didn't feel right.

"What are you doing here?" she asked him. He gets up but stops when he sees Annie stepped back. Sighing he walks behind the chair and looks around.

"Such a beautiful home, don't you think Jenny?" He asked. That was the name Annie said a few days back. What does that name have to do with her?

"What do you want?" She asked him and he frowns.

"I told you already, please just come with me. I promise I'll make everything better" he said and Annie shakes her head.

"I ain't going, Dean. I told you already." She said making Dean angry.

"You don't belong here, never did, never will," he said.

"So? I made a home here and I won't let you or anyone take it from me," Annie said and I knew she was getting angry.

"The only reason why you're here because I let you, so just come. Don't make anything worse just be a good little human and come," he said.

"Bite me," Annie said. Dean got angry, picked up a vase and threw it at the wall making Bella and Annie jump. The others were on guard.

"I can take you by force," he screamed out.

How dare he say that! I launched towards him but with a flick of Dean's hand, I was on the wall not able to move. Annie's eye's gotten wide and tears began falling. I saw the others froze with shocked, they all turn to Dean surprised, we didn't know that angels were cold creatures.

"See what you made me do, Annie. You got someone hurt. That's all you're good at, getting people hurt. If you come with me, no one will get hurt—"

"Bullshit, have you forgotten? I know how this all end-"

"With you dead, that's how this all end, Annie. You're going to die and no one will save you this time. Just come with me and you'll survive. Annie, I told you already. You don't belong here!" Dean said through gripped teeth.

I tried to get down, I need to be with my mate, she needs me. I tried to get down but the invisible force wasn't letting move a muscle.

"You cannot take me, no one can. I make my own choice! And I choose to stay whether if I make it or not. I'm staying" once again Dean threw something.

"THEY'RE NOT FUCKEN REAL! ALL OF THIS ISN'T REAL, JENNY! LOOK AT HIM" Dean points at me and Annie looks at me. Her expression was heartbreaking.

"HE'S FAKE! THEY'RE ALL FAKE! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES! YOU GOING TO DIE HERE AND NO ONE WILL REMEMBER YOU. ONCE YOU'RE DEAD EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL! YOU'LL DIE HERE AND BACK THERE!—"

"I DON'T CARE!" Annie screamed at him. This was the first time any one of us heard her scream. This was the first time I heard her scream, this was the first time I felt her raw emotions and honestly, it was too much for me to handle. Her emotions were stronger than one's i ever felt, her tears continue to come down her faces. Despite yelling and the tears, she looked very beautiful.

"ALL MY LIFE I FELT ALONE. I NEVER FELT LIKE I BELONG SOMEWHERE. YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE, SHOULD KNOW MY STRUGGLE! I AM NO ONE AND WILL BE NO ONE. BUT I FOUND MY PURPOSE HERE. I FOUND LOVE, I FOUND A FAMILY TO CALL MY OWN. EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT NOT BE REAL, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE. THEY'RE REAL TO ME AS MUCH AS YOU'RE REAL, DEAN. I'M NOT LEAVING, I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I AM STAYING WITH HIM, WITH HER, WITH MY FAMILY" Annie was crying and Dean frowns, he looks away for a second and then looks back at Annie.

"Can you just be happy for me, for once. Can you let me do what I want? For once let me be happy. I love him, Evan. I fucken love him. More than anything in this world or the next. I cannot leave him and I won't. Not without a fight. I will grow strong, with every passing day I will continue to fight until my dying breath, I will fight to stay" Annie said looking straight at Dean's eyes. You could see the fury the rage he felt, Dean looks at me with so much hate.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT! WHEN SHE DIES, IT'S ON YOU. YOU DID THIS TO HER!"

Suddenly Deans disappears in thin air. Emmett gets down from the wall and Annie walks to where Dean disappears. Annie turns to me but what happened next scared the living out of me. Suddenly Annie bends backward, letting out an inhuman, anguish scream. She falls on the ground, shaking, her face closed in a pain, skin pale and clammy. Her scream so raw, the realness of her pain, it had no end no limit. Then she stopped screaming, just panting. After a few seconds it happened all over again.. and again and again. No one did anything we just watched in horror, as our friend, our sister, my love, we just watched her in pain. Suffering like never before. Suddenly Bella ran towards her twin, unable to bear it anymore. I watched how Carlisle went over to Annie in doctor mode. He looks up with a terrified expression, immediately he began doing CPR. I watched how Carlisle tried to bring her back, I watched as Bella cried, begged Annie to come back. I watched as Edward tried to pull back Bella but she wouldn't let herself. Bella continued to kick and scream, screaming out Annie's name. I heard Jacob's, Embry's and everyone's screams, shouts for Annie but even with all the noise around me, I couldn't hear a damn thing, I couldn't feel anything, I went numb, I felt empty. I just stood there and watched Carlisle pick up Annie and took her out. I watched as Edward and Bella followed behind. I watch the others follow them. I knew then I knew I lost Annie, even if she survived. I lost her, I was the one who didn't do anything. I was the one who rather stepped down than face her suffering.
