Jasper's POV

"What are you doing back here?" I asked as I looked up at Jane.

She looked disheveled, her eyes wild.

"I gave you your pain, so now it's your turn to give me my fix," she said, looking around the room. "Why are you still here?" she asked. "I expected you to be long gone."

"Why?" I asked, putting my feet up on the coffee table.

Jane glanced at my victims lying dead on the floor. They were the homeowners, but I was taking responsibility for that now. I wouldn't be here forever, but I was laying low until I could figure out my next mode of attack. It hadn't been that long, the bodies weren't even decomposing yet.

"No reason," Jane answered. "Now how about my fix?"

I looked at her and I could tell that she needed it. She always did. She knew better than to ask me otherwise. I patted the spot next to me on the couch and she sat down, holding out her arm for me. I grabbed it with both of my hands. Every now and then she come to me because she was missing something in her life and I was the only one who could give it to her. Her brother Alec used to be able, but being dead kind of puts a stop to that. He died in battle and Jane went into withdrawals. I saw her once, she was struggling. I was trying to find a weak link in the Volturi. I wanted to find someone I could manipulate into becoming my informant and Jane just made it easy for me. I could give her want she craved and she would do as I said.

I started to send her a replica of her brother's gift. Allowing all the blackness, death and nothingness I could muster to seep into her. She had a blissed out look on her face. She had needed this, it had been too long for her. I continued to up the dose until I could no longer feel her emotions, she was dead to the world. I continued feeding it to her. I had been affecting her for close to eighty years now. I met her two decades after the Cullens. I was still lost and trying to figure things out and she was going through a loss of her own. We hit it off. We both needed something from each other. I needed her pain and she needed her brother's gift from me. I used her to keep tabs on the Volturi and when Bella started working there twenty years later it helped me keep ahead of the game. Jane had no idea what Bella was to me and I wanted to keep it that way.

I knew I had given Jane enough, so I backed it off slowly. Once it was all gone I waited for her to come around. The moment she did, she reached out for me. I stopped her and she pouted.

"Come on, Ness," she said. "I just want to touch you. I need to feel connected to you."

I got up from the couch and stepped away for her.

"You always misinterpret my intentions," she said. "I don't want you as a mate, I don't even want anything serious, I just want release."

I really didn't care what she wanted.

"Look at you," she said, stalking towards me. "Your cock is rock hard. Just let me suck you off; let me do at least that for you as a thank you."

"No," I said firmly.

"Well you need someone to suck you off, vampire blue balls is not something you want."

"I think I know how to handle this," I said, "it's my fucking cock after all. I'll just go find a human and get them to do it. It will be a great prelude to killing them."

"A human?" Jane asked, scoffing. "Why not use a vampire, they'd do a better job?"

"Are you insane? I'm not about to put my cock into an unknown vampires mouth. It wouldn't take long for them to fucking bite it off and burn it. I'm not fucking stupid."

"Then let me suck you off. I can do it and it doesn't have to mean anything."

All this talk about sucking my cock was killing me. I needed to get off and I needed it now. I looked at Jane and she tried to close the gap in between us. I sidestepped around her and she let out a groan.

"I'm going to find a human. Are you coming?"

I didn't wait for her to answer, I just left. As I walked into the cold night air I knew I wasn't coming back here. I pulled the packet of matches out of my pocket and lit one, throwing it behind me and watching as the house caught fire, covering up my kill.

"Fuck," Jane said, jumping out the window, "warn a vamp before you do that next time."

I ignored her and headed into town to find my victim. It didn't take long. It was always the same, brown hair and brown eyes. I stopped and watched them.

"Her?" Jane asked and I didn't answer. "She's so plain, kind of reminds me of a human I once knew, the Cullen's human. Did you ever hear about that?"

I grunted my response.

"Of course you've heard of that," Jane said, laughing. "You're always five steps ahead of everyone else."

She was right, almost. There was only one person who had bested me, Peter, and that is why I kept him close to me. I wouldn't allow it to happen again.

"She was a firecracker of a human," Jane said, "but fuck, she was built to be a vampire. She works for the Volturi now, she's the one they send after you."

"Fucking shut up," I said, "I already know all this."

Jane shut her mouth and I looked at my victim. She reminded me of Bella, but she was just a bad substitute and the moment I realized this, realized that I wanted the real thing, my focus shifted and my cock went limp. I pulled out my phone and brought up Peter's number.

"What do you want?" Peter asked and I could tell he was still upset with me. But I didn't fucking care.

"I want you back here," I commanded.

"Why?" Peter asked. "I'm doing a job here and I can't just abandon it."

"I don't care. You're done. I didn't order you to become her fucking buddy, so get the fuck back here before I make you regret it."

"Jasper, you just can't make me-"

"Shut the fuck up, Peter. I know your loyalty lies with me and so do you. Get back here now," I roared, closing my phone.

"So who's Peter?" Jane asked and I let out a growl. "I mean if he's a friend and you treat him like that then I must be special."

"Don't fucking test me, Jane. I'm not in the mood. The only reason I haven't fucked you up yet is because I need your gift… for now."

"What does that mean?" she asked.

I didn't answer. I knew what it meant and that's all that fucking matters. Her time would come and when it did everything would end spectacularly and Peter would never stray from my side again. I would use her as an example and he would never forget his place. It would work, I was confident, and that fact that Jane and Bella were friends just made the plan that much more diabolical. They'd all get what was coming to them sooner or later and as I was becoming an impatient fucker it would be sooner rather than later.
