Mua-ha-ha!! I'm back and with more!!!

Jasper's Worries

Jasper's phone rang from the inside of his pocket. He answered it. "Alice?" He tried to conceal his worry, he didn't succeed.

"Yes, it's me. Jasper, Edward and Carlisle are going to fight with Victoria. I'm getting images of their plans but nothing else." Alice was speaking quickly.

"Wait– hold on. Alice, where are you?"

"Bella's room."

Jasper breathed in sharply. "You know what Edward said! We aren't supposed to be near Bella."

"Yes, he made that quite clear. As much as I love my dear brother, I am my own person. I had to see Bella, Jasper! The vision I had before I left was of her. She was dead..." Alice whispered the last part. If she could cry, she would be.

Jasper sighed. Bella and him were never as close as she was with the rest of the family, excluding Rosalie, but he always cared for her. She was truly like a sister to him and his protective instincts kicked in when he listened to Alice. "How is she?"

"She's alive for one. I talked to Charlie and he told me she's been screaming in her sleep for two months. I got to witness that tonight, it was horrible. Bella was thrashing around and begging Edward to not leave."

Jasper sighed again. "Edward and Carlisle are going to fight Victoria you said?"

"Yes, I haven't seen the turn out so it hasn't happened yet. Their plans are constantly going in a different direction!"

"What do you want me to do?" Esme, Emmet, and Rosalie came to stand next to Jasper with questioning looks. He held a finger to his lips.

"I want you all to come down to Forks now. Hurry, though. We don't have much time. I want us to be with Edward and Carlisle make their exact decision but first, I need to talk to you all."

"Of course." Jasper exhaled a long breath.

"Jasper?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

Jasper smiled. "I love you too, love." He hung up the phone. Confusion was radiating off every single one of his family members in the room.

"What's going on?" Emmet narrowed his eyes.

"Alice needs to see us right now. She's in Forks with Bella."

"Oh!" Esme gave a little squeak and covered her mouth with her hand. "Bella..." Esme loved Bella very much and it pained her to have to leave. "What's happening?"

"Carlisle and Edward have made a decision to go after Victoria and plan on killing her. How they're going to do it however, is not exact. Alice keeps seeing images of the ideas they have."

"Why don't they just finish her off when they get to her?" Emmet's muscles flexed in his arms.

"Victoria is no amateur, Emmet. She is bound to be very skilled at fighting. Think about it. She was with James, a tracker, for a good time of her life. Fighting and escaping is what she specializes in. That and she may not be alone."

"We have to leave." This time Rosalie spoke. Jasper could feel the fear rolling off of her. But fear for whom, he didn't know. It would be very unlikely if her reaction had anything to do with Bella. Still, he sent a wave of calm around the room.

"At once." Esme started walked out the house and started torwards Emmet's jeep. The rest followed. Jasper sat in the passenger's seat, Rosalie and Esme in the back and Emmet driving. The jeep was nearing 125mph when they got on the highway.

They reached Forks in an hour and forty-five minutes later. It was still night and all of the house lights were off. Jasper quickly got out of the jeep and made his way to Bella's window, climbing through. Esme, Rosalie, and Emmet followed.

As soon as Jasper saw Alice, he rushed over to her side and hugged her. "Are you all right?" He asked, stroking his thumb over her cheek.

"I'm fine. We need to figure out a plan." Alice gave him a kiss on the lips before turning to the rest of her family.

Esme was on her knees by Bella and clutching both of her hands in her own. "Oh, Bella." She whispered.

Bella was still asleep and shifted in her bed so that she was lying on her back. Emmet smiled before wiping strands of hair on Bella's face away. Rosalie just simply stared at her, eyes wide and looking somewhat fearful.

But for what? Alice thought slightly confused.

She shook her head and cleared her throat. "We need to go help Edward and Carlisle. I had a vision not ten minutes ago. It was of Victoria this time and she's not working alone. I saw twenty other vampires with her at the most."

"Twenty." Jasper breathed. "We will need to go at once and form a plan." He looked at Bella sleeping. "What about her?"

Alice hesitated. "I don't know. She can't come with us but she can't be left alone either."

"I will stay with her." Esme spoke, still clutching Bella's hands.

Jasper sighed, relieved. "We need to leave now." He slowly walked over to Bella's bed and leaned down, kissing her lightly on the forehead; he didn't breathe the whole time. Alice did the same and grabbed Jasper's hand. They jumped out the window and made their way to the jeep.

Emmet kissed Bella's forehead too and laughed a little when she huffed in her sleep.

Rosalie slowly walked to Bella and gave one of her hands a squeeze. "I'm sorry." She whispered. Emmet grabbed Rosalie's hand and followed Alice and Jasper.

"Be safe." Esme whispered knowing that they would hear her. She got up and sat in the rocking chair that Alice had sat on hours before, watching over Bella. Bella who was like her own daughter.

Someone Worth Fighting For

Carlisle and Edward were making their way north when Carlisle stopped them. "I smell more than one."

Edward sniffed the air and growled. "You were right. Victoria has allies now." He cursed under his breath. "We need a plan."

"Yes we do." Carlisle sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "We could ask the Denali clan to help us."

"No." Edward shook his head. "I don't want them involved. They could make things worse."

Carlisle nodded, understanding. "What do you want to do?"

They both weighed their options on what they could do. None of their plans looked as if they'd end with a clean success. Yes, they may kill Victoria and her partners in the end but how much harm would be caused to themselves in the process?

"We can't waste anymore time; Victoria's still waiting." Edward growled, frustrated. "What the Hell are we going to do!?"

"I'm glad you asked." A high soprano voice came from their left.

Edward's head whipped around, shock written all over his face. Before him was Alice, Jasper, Emmet, and Rosalie. All were walking torwards Carlisle and him.

Carlisle searched the group. "Where's Esme?"

They all shifted uncomfortably. Edward listened to their thoughts but none of them thought of anything to do with Esme. Alice had told them on the plane to Alaska to not even think of Esme.

"You think of her, you'll think of where she is. If Edward knows that were associating with Bella, he'll lose it. I've seen it and we can't afford another catastrophe right now. We'll deal with it later." No one had argued with Alice; destroying Victoria and getting their brother back was their first priority.

"Where's Esme?" Edward repeated, glaring.

"She's at home." Alice glared back. Though she knew what good intentions Edward had for leaving Bella, she was still furious with him.

Edward was about to question when Carlisle interrupted. "Do you have any ideas?" Carlisle too questioned Alice's answer on where Esme was but thought there was a good reason for such a short explanation.

"We all fight together. We meet Victoria and her allies face to face and we start war." Emmet spoke with a wicked smile on his face, rolling his shoulders back.

Fool. Edward heard Rosalie think.

She was staring at Emmet, annoyance written on her face but there was fear in her eyes too. She felt Edward's gaze on her and turned to him. Bella flashed in her mind before she could stop it.

Edward winced and looked at Rosalie with wide eyes. Bella had been asleep in her mind but even sleeping, she looked as if she were in pain. Rosalie glared at him and looked away. Jasper sent a wave of calm around as he felt Edward start to panic.

What's wrong? He wondered.

Edward ignored him, instead, focusing on his sister. "Rosalie–" He started.

"We need to go." Alice cut in knowing what Edward was about to ask. She shot an annoyed glance at Rosalie.

Carlisle nodded and started to lead the way. Everyone followed, Emmet more eagerly than the rest. Edward's expression was still pained but Bella's image seemed to ignite something in him again.

I'm doing this for her. Edward thought, his eyes narrowing, fists clenched.

They went ten more miles before stopping, all nostrils flared.

"Victoria's here." Rosalie stated the obvious. "I can smell her."

"Well, well, well." A high, shrill voice was heard from behind a nearby tree. "I thought you would never show up."

Edward growled. Carlisle, Jasper and Emmet stood behind him, Rosalie and Alice behind them. They were staring torwards the trees, glowering as a figure steeped out from behind.

"And look! There's more!" The first thing Edward saw was Victoria's hair , a wild mane the color of a vibrant reddish-orange. Her eyes were red. Hungry for revenge. She walked in front of the tree, leaning against it with her arms crossed over her chest. "I must say, Edward, you survived longer than I thought you would. Without the frail human girl attached to you hip, I mean."

Edward growled but didn't move. His eyes darted to the left of him and then to the right. More figures were slowly revealing themselves. He heard Rosalie gasp behind him. These vampires were new; ones Victoria had created herself. Ages and gender varied but all were visibly strong, they're eyes too, were a ruby red.

"I brought more too." Victoria smiled. "I hope you don't mind."

At those words, three newly created vampires thrust themselves torwards Edward and his family. One boy, fifteen at the most, made an attempt to fight Alice but Jasper quickly cut him off. He grabbed one of his outstretched arms, twisted it and pulled. The boy gave out an anguished cry but was stopped short when his head soon joined his arm on the ground.

Emmet took out the other two, both grown men around their thirties, laughing the whole time; he was clearly amused. A woman snarled from behind the trees and quickly made her way torwards Emmet. Rosalie stepped in front of her, snarling back and snapped her head off with a vengeance.

One by one, more vampires fought with Edward's family –but not Edward himself. He had gracefully made his way torwards Victoria, her white teeth gleaming behind her smile.

"You've made quite an impact on my life, Edward Cullen." Victoria unfolded her arms. " I only hope that when I kill you, you will understand how deeply that impact has effected me."

"As do I when I kill you." Edward smirked as Victoria's smile slightly faltered. She snarled at him and sank to a crouching position, preparing to attack.

You may have one small advantage, Edward, but do not mistaken my knowledge on fighting. Not only am I a skilled fighter but I am one with a motive.

Edward growled as Victoria and him began to circle, both waiting for one to break eye contact.

Victoria continued. You see, I thought that since you'd taken my one love away from me, why not return the favor? To kill... Bella is it?

Edward hissed.

Victoria smiled smugly. Ah yes. Bella. To kill Bella seemed like a fine favor indeed. But then the closer I watched her–

"You've watched her?" Edward's eyes widened but he continued to move. "You've been near Bella?"

Oh yes. Watched her quite frequently for weeks. Do you know what I saw, Edward?

Edward snarled at Victoria, disgusted that such a creature could walk this Earth.

I saw anguish. Pain. And as I thought about that, I realized that humans suffer much more than us. They feel and experience emotions that are quite foreign to us. What she was suffering from, I only have a guess. Victoria laughed at Edward's expression.

But I realized that watching her in pain was to be much more enjoyable than killing her. What was I to do? My love was still gone and I still wanted revenge. So, I settled on killing you. I get two things out of this: avenging my mates death and watching your's suffer like nothing I've seen before. Victoria's smile widened. It's quite enjoyable. And then eventually, when I get bored with the imbecile, I prepare myself for a tasty treat.

Edward was livid and slightly shaking. However, when he spoke, he was calm. "I'm sorry to say that your little "fantasy" is precisely that: a little fantasy. You cannot kill me and will not come anywhere near Bella again." Edward's body tensed as he prepared to launch himself at Victoria. "Such a silly imagination you have."

Victoria mirrored Edward's movements. "Ah, but getting close to Bella wasn't hard at all the first time. Why should it be hard now?"

"Be quite hard if your dead."

"If." Victoria snarled and launched herself at Edward, trying to close the space between them.

Edward quickly moved to the left and smiled at a baffled Victoria. He tapped his head. "Slight advantage remember?"

Victoria glared and straightened up. Edward tried listening to her mind, to see what her next move was , but all he got was images of Bella. He groaned silently but Victoria heard.

She smiled angelically. Two can play at this game, dear boy.

Again, she thought of Bella. Bella in her worst state, crying or emotionless. Edward winced and held his temples, closing his eyes, trying to concentrate.

Victoria took advantage of his previous state and tackled him. They both landed fifty feet away from their previous spot. Edward was quickly brought back to reality and fought his enemy. Together, they tackled. Moving swiftly, testing each other's movements. Edward threw Victoria to the ground. She struggled beneath him. Victoria wedged her foot in between their bodies and heaved, turning their bodies so that he was beneath her.

"I always did like being on top." Victoria spoke.

Edward cringed, disgusted, and pushed her off of him. They both stood and started circling each other again.

No play, Edward? Or are you too civilized for such games? Victoria let out an exasperated sigh then gasped.

Don't worry brother. We are right here. Emmet thought from behind Edward.

Jasper sent a wave of calm to Edward. Perhaps it'll help.

Edward turned around and threw an appreciated glance to his family who were now standing behind him, watching Victoria with blank expressions. Edward knew them too well; they were furious and ready for this to end.

"Where are my–" Victoria breathed.

"You didn't think that the newborns actually had a chance of defeating us?" Carlisle spoke. "I must say I'm insulted."

Victoria growled but didn't speak.

Finish her off, Edward. Alice narrowed her eyes.

Edward started circling Victoria again, more slowly, countering her actions. Victoria did the same and Edward could smell the fear radiating off her. She looked to the trees.

"Don't go, Victoria. I was just beginning to enjoy myself."

Victoria snapped at him and began to run.

You were always so good at running away. Edward thought as he ran after her.

He caught Victoria from behind. She struggled violently but Edward didn't budge. It wasn't until his lips grazed her neck that she stilled. Realization settled in her as she took a moment to acknowledge her own death.

"I told you. You will never win." Edward murmured against her neck. Victoria shivered.

And just as quickly as Edward had caught her, he killed her. He dug his teeth into her flesh and pulled, snapping her neck. When he let go, Victoria's body fell, her head gently rolling a foot away before stopping.

Edward felt a dozen emotions go through him, overwhelming Jasper. One thing was clear. Victoria would never harm him, his family, or his Bella again.

Victoria was dead.

Yes, it's true. Victoria is gone. Dead. ..sigh... I thought this chapter would be hard but I decided that the next one is going to be. Not hard, wrong choice of words...no. Just a little overwhelming...emotional. Oh nevermind!..you'll see.
