Hi, I mentioned this in one of my one-shots but for those who haven't read that, I will say it again. I know that these characters were created by Stephanie Meyer but there are some things that I disagree with in her vampire world. I think that lack of blood should affect them physically so in my story, the less blood in their system the weaker they are. The blood in their body is used up like fuel in a car. It keeps them going but once they are totally empty, they can't move a muscle. Sorry if you do not agree but if my story is going to make sense to you, then this is how it works in my vampire world. It is fan fiction after all.

Carlisle's POV

I thought that by getting him cleaned up, Jasper would have looked better but he only looked worse. It was clear to me that many bites had been added to his collection of plenty and we could make out his bony figure even with the clothing Alice had dressed him with. I had transferred the deer blood into small bags that I would attach to Jasper once we get back. While I carried Jasper on our way bag, Edward held the bags while Alice stuck close to me. Emmett was already out of the house by the time we arrived.

"You found him? How the hell didn't we see him before? Carlisle, what's wrong with him?" Emmett asked.

"I'll explain later, let me sort Jasper out first" I told him as I rushed past my biggest son and into the house.

I gently lay him down onto the sofa while Edward ran to get whatever medical equipment I owned that I could use for Jasper. Alice held Jasper's hand tightly in hope that he would be able to squeeze hers in response. Esme walked closer and looked down on her unconscious son in panic.

"Somebody buried him" I stated, knowing that they were all full of questions.

I couldn't answer them all until I knew more

"What vile monster would do that and leave him there to suffer like that?" Rosalie said in disgust.

Edward returned with medical tubes to attach to the blood bags and Jasper and I thanked him silently.

"I know it's a lot to ask right now but I need to check Jasper over and in order to do that, I'm going to need some privacy. I'll give you all an update once I'm done" I told them.

I had no idea if he would wake or not once the blood takes effect but if it did, I didn't want him to feel crowded. Not only that, but I would need to remove his shirt to view his wounds properly this time. I knew that there wasn't much I could do but I had to know exactly what damage was done to him and I didn't want the other's to see what Jasper would have hated them to see. He may be unconscious but I still wanted to respect that.

"Edward, if you hear anything from him, let me know as soon as you hear it. Alice, you can stay" I told her.

I knew that she would even without my permission. She had just found Jasper and she had no intention of leaving his side now. Edward nodded and left with the others; even Emmett held a little bit of hesitation but he disappeared anyway.

He was another person who had a big personality change ever since Jasper's disappearance. He had lacked jokes and the big grins that he always held. I didn't blame him. We either changed or tried to carry on as we were but we had struggled to keep it together. Jasper was important to all of us.

Alice gave me a small smile of appreciation before looking back at Jasper with worry. Once the room was clear, I slowly removed Jasper's shirt. His neck looked like it had been mauled at so this mysterious vampire clearly wanted Jasper to suffer. Biting a vampires neck without killing them was clearly a message of having control and if this vampire had been part of the southern wars, I could see why. They were used to Jasper controlling their emotions that this monster thought that having control over Jasper's fear would be revenge. Jasper must have been absolutely terrified.

He always had problems when he was touched too close to his throat; in fact he didn't like to be touched full stop but having his throat bitten over and over again must have been his limit. What if he's gone into shock? And if that's the case, what if he never comes out of it?

There were also three long marks that went from the left side of his rib cage to the right side of his hip. It was as if somebody had just dug their nails into his skin and dragged them across his body but if they haven't healed, the sick monster must have added venom to the wounds while they were there.

In that case; they knew that he was self-conscious about his scars and made them look worse than they already were. Additional bites were on his wrists, upper arms but they were nothing compared to the others.

"Jasper?" Alice called.

I realized that his eyes were half open but even though I couldn't see them fully, the gaze he was giving us was dead. It held not emotion at all; it seemed as if his eyelids had just been forced open but Jasper was still unconscious. They were still pitch black despite having almost consumed all the blood which had me rather confused. They should have colored by now. I pulled back one of his eyelids so that I could see them further.

"Please, Jazz. Squeeze my hand. Give me a sign that you can hear me" Alice begged.

There was nothing. No squeezing her hand, no movement and certainly no change with the dead look in his eyes.

"Please" Alice whispered desperately.

I knew that she was now struggling to look into his eyes and I didn't blame her; those eyes didn't belong to Jasper. They weren't the honey coloured shy eyes that we all remembered. These were different. We are already dead as vampires but this, this was a different kind of dead. I didn't know how to describe it.

If vampires could produce tears, I was certain that they would be pouring out of Alice right now. It was hurting her to see her mate like this. Her nervous, over protective husband who now appeared to be nothing but a shell of himself. Alice looked at me before she carefully spoke.

"What are we going to do with him?" She asked, quietly.

I thought carefully and it struck me that I really didn't know. I had planned what to do with him for when we got back to the house which we have now done but what now? I got my results and the blood seemed to be ineffective.

"There isn't much we can do for him at the moment. Going by the message that was given to us, I doubt that this is the end. We can leave him to rest and hope that he heals himself but to be safe, we should also find out who did this to him. If we find them, we could get some answers and see if there is anything we can do to help him. If this was about control, it's likely that there's a cure for this. But that's only if this case is about him physically" I told her while watching her reaction.

"What do you mean by physically?" She questioned.

"The note telling us to watch him die slowly and painfully makes it sound like his problem is physical but by looking him over, the pain that he had gone through tells me that this could have affected him mentally; that he's in shock. Perhaps in so much shock that he has hid away and has left behind just the shell of his body" I explained.

Maybe the note had meant die mentally; painfully meaning for us to watch but I still got the impression that there was more to it.

"So you think he could be stuck like this forever?" Alice panicked.

"Not if I can help it" I told her.

I was determined to find out how to fix this. Not only had it destroyed Jasper but it was destroying our whole family and I wasn't about to stand by and let it happen. Seeing that Alice wasn't fully assured, I carried on.

"Alice, look at me. I don't know exactly what is wrong with Jasper but I will promise you this; I will do everything I can to help him" I told her with meaning.

She smiled sadly at me but her eyes returned to Jasper; carefully putting a hand through his slightly damp hair.

"How long do you think it will take until his weight will return to normal?" She asked, quietly as her second hand traced the ribs poking out of his chest.

That was something I was unsure how to answer. When a vampire is turned, their weight is set in stone so I didn't even think it was possible for a vampire to lose weight. It was just another question I had to add to the list when I track down this heartless beast.

"I don't know" I answered honestly.

The only affect the blood had on him was the opening of his eyes but other than that, there was no change. Edward hadn't even informed me that he was hearing Jasper's thoughts so I assume that his mind was still blank but surely the blood given to him would have given him energy by now. I was so confused and I just wish I knew the answer with what was going on. Once the blood bag was empty, I removed it from him.

"I think it's best if we place him on his and your bed for now. It will be familiar to him and we'll feed him regularly and just hope that he'll make some progress" I explained to Alice.

She agreed with no hesitation; preferring the idea of Jasper being placed in their room. That way, she would spend all the time she wanted with him. I put one of my arms under his legs and the other under his upper back before lifting him and carrying him upstairs, into Alice and Jasper's room with Alice holding the doors open as I did so.

I gently placed him down onto the bed as Alice pulled the comforter over him. Vampires don't feel the temperature but after seeing Jasper develop new symptoms that I have never seen before, I shouldn't be surprised if he was feeling cold.

I'm sure Alice was doing it for her own comfort too since it also made Jasper look more restful and covered up the new damage done to his body. If Jasper had closed his eyes, it would have simply looked like he was sleeping and it would have also given us a sign that there was life in him.

"I'll talk to the rest of the family" I informed her.

I knew that Alice will not leave Jasper's side for a long while; not while he's like this. Maybe if there is a small part of him that is still awake, like a human in a coma, he would sense Alice nearby and then at least he would feel more comfortable and restful knowing of her presence.

Alice nodded at me so with one last look into those strange eyes that now belonged to Jasper, I left and prepared to be bombarded with questions from the rest of my family and I would do my best to answer.

Honestly, I'm finding it difficult to keep the chapters in this story at a good length without making it sound stretched out so I'm just going to right how much I'm comfortable with here. I hope this chapter was okay with you guys.

Please tell me what you think?!
