Chapter 14

As we made our way into the woods, I never felt so alive as I do at this very moment. I can see every color and hear every tiny sound for miles.

Emmett and Carlisle stood off to the side while Jasper led me deeper into the forest.

"Are you ready, darlin?" Jasper asks me.

"Yes"

"Good, now what do you hear?" he asks as he looks into my eyes intently.

I focus on the sounds around me and I use my new senses to hear farther away into the darkness.

"I hear... three heartbeats... deer?" I ask hesitantly.

He grins and nods. "Now where are they coming from?" he whispers.

"They are on the North side of the forest."

"Yes. Let your instincts take over, Bella. Be sure to snap its neck before you kill it."

"Unless you like them irritable like me" Emmett whispers from behind me. I jump so high, birds scatter from the trees.

"Emmett" I hiss. "You scared the crap out of me."

"Sorry. I didn't know you could startle a vampire." He laughs.

"Emmett" Jasper warns then turns back to look at me, "Bella, go and take your prey."

I jumped high; tree to tree and it seemed like miles before I reached the deer. It probably was with my new found speed.

I dropped down softly behind them onto the forest floor in a crouch and I then sprang up just as quickly. I took in the sight of the female in front of me whose vein pulsed to a steady rhythm, bringing the venom to pool in my mouth. They had not noticed me until I let out a low growl and the two of them ran off leaving the female for its death.

I leaped onto her back and sank my teeth into her neck without breaking it first and as I drank the delicious sweet smelling blood, she collapsed onto the floor below me with a soft thud.

The blood dripping down my chin was pure euphoria and as I drank my lost drop, I wiped away my chin with the back of my hand.

As I turned around, I came face to face with three smiling vampires.

"So, how did I do?" I grin.

"Perfect, darlin" Jasper wraps his arm around my waist and we make it back to the house. Esme and Rosalie are in the living room going over color swatches for the spare bedroom that got ruined.

"Ho was it?" Rosalie asked me.

"Well, I definitely had fun and even though I am covered in blood, I think it was an ultimate experience." I laugh gesturing towards my clothes.

Jasper smirked and eyed me like he wanted to devour me. "Oh, you have no idea how exotic you look when you were hunting. It was such a turn on."

"Jasper!" I exclaim purely shocked that he said that and in front of his family.

"Can you blame me? You haven't seen it through my eyes. It was... sexy".

"I am so glad that I cannot blush anymore" I mutter, which results in everyone laughing at my expense.

We stop laughing as Edward and Alice come down the stairs and walk over to us.

"Well, we just wanted to say goodbye. We are leaving for a while. Maybe a decade or so and we are sorry fro coming back again in the first place. We had no right too, but I am glad that we got to explain some things." Alice says.

Edward walks over to me and gives me a warm genuine smile, "I am sorry for all of the pain I caused you, but I think it worked out in your favor anyway" he smirks looking towards Jasper. "I was never the one for you, Bella. You deserve your soulmate just as everyone else does. I'm sorry."

I cannot accept his apology so I just stare at him. Maybe I can in a century or so, after all, I do have forever.

Alice then steps forward too, "Im sorry to you, both. I am sorry I hurt you Jasper. I never wanted it to be the way it came out to be. Bella, I am so sorry, too. Jasper is the on for you. Edward, well... he's not the one. He never was. I'm glad you found the love of you existence."

"Me too" I say. That's all I can give her. Maybe we can be friends one day just as Edward and I can be civil too. But that won't be for a very long time.

I wish that when I was human, things went a little easier. I know everything happens for a reason and I would never trade Jasper in for anything in this entire world, but why did it have to be so difficult for us?

Who knows.

I think back to what Alice had said, 'He's not the one. He never was.' I think I always knew. Fate had bigger plans for me than I originally thought.

I look at Jasper and smile lovingly into his eyes, "C'mon' babe, let's go start our forever."

The End.
