A/N: like I said in the last author's note, I can't update all that often because I don't have internet. So enjoy.

Recap (since it's been a while)

Then the bell rang cutting this very important conversation short.

"Would you and your family like to come hunting with us? Maybe then we could speak more openly after."

"Yeah, that'd be awesome. When are you going?" hmm can't go today, we have to go see the wolves.

"How's tomorrow? It's supposed to be sunny." Not really, but I can make it sunny.

"Really? Ok." And just like that, we went on our way.

Ch 8

Bella POV

We were on our way to the reservation when Sam, the alpha, called.

"You should answer your phone Bella." I glared at him and answered my phone.

"Hey Sam, we were just on our way down"

"Yeah about that, can you guys come tomorrow or something. There's a little problem." I looked at Ryan, a problem? If those newborns are stupid enough to make another round, they we'll have a problem.

"A problem? Are you guys in danger?"

"No, it's just that a few of the newer wolves had a problem with us being friends with you guys. They ran off and swore if they ever saw you they would kill you." Of course, new wolves always have a problem with us.

"Oh ok, that's fine. Did you tell them the whole story?"

"We tried but Paul being the jackass that he is started the meeting with 'hey guys guess what? We're friends with some vampires!' they ran off before we could tell the whole story." Paul just had to make things worse by opening his mouth. I really hope they could find them.

"That is so like him."

"Yup so the guys and I are tracking them down, you guys should go find the Cullens they know they're not allowed on their land. One of us will call when it's safe to visit again. A few of the guys are really pissed you guys can't come."

"Hey no problem, I'll talk to you later Sam, we're going to go find the Cullens and move the hunting trip scheduled for tomorrow to today."

"So you already met them?"

"Yeah at school, Sam I think the blonde might be my Jasper." Why did I tell him that now? I would've told him sooner or later, but now is not the time!

"What? Ok never mind, we'll talk about it when you come visit if you haven't already figured it out. See you soon, bye."

"Bye"

I looked at Ryan.

"Do you happen to have the Cullen's number?" he shook his head no.

"Looks like we'll have to do this the old fashioned way, and sniff them out." I sighed.

"Or we can just wait until tomorrow."

"No, we can't go to school tomorrow, and we don't have contact information." I looked at him like he was missing something obvious, which he obviously is.

"Can't you make it unsunny or something? Geez and you call me the dense one."

"Um Ryan, the Cullen's think it's going to be sunny so even if I do make it unsunny they still won't be at school. That's why you're the dense one."

"I hate it when your right." He glared at me in a manner that could only be described as a little kid being told he couldn't have another cookie.

He parked the car in our garage and we made our way into the forest, to see if we can find a scent. We both caught the scent of a vampire, but neither of us has come across it. We've never met this vampire, at least as far as we knew. For the moment we decided it was best to ignore the scent and continue with the search. For all we knew it could be one of the Cullen's friends, or a new Volturi guard.

After what seemed like hours of searching, but was actually no more than fifteen minutes, we caught onto a scent that smelled like the blonde, Jasper. Rain, leather, and a hint of pine, too close to the rain and leather I love so much. I noticed the meadow we were now standing in, looked remarkably similar to the one in my memories. As we followed the faded scent I drifted back into the past.

Flashback

Jasper and I were sitting in a meadow only we knew about. It has been deemed our meadow ever since we discovered it five years ago. It was where we had our first date, first kiss, where he proposed, where we spent most of our time as a couple.

"Bell, what's on your mind, darlin'?" Jasper always knew when I was stuck in my mind, he always knew.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about tomorrow" I tried to smile up at him, but I think it came out looking more fake than I had intended. He tightened his hold on my waist.

"Tomorrow is just another day." He smiled, it looked almost real, but I know it isn't. It didn't reach his eyes.

"I guess, but I'm still worried." I looked up at him; this may be the only time he's unable to pull me out of my own head.

"Well I was thinking, today it could just be you and me, and we won't think about all that stuff. Just be together, that's all that matters." I snuggled closer to him, and sighed.

"Hey, don't sigh, I'll come back. I have our whole lives planned for us. It's perfect."

"Promise?" he looked down knowing he couldn't promise me. That there's a chance that promise would be broken, and he never wanted to break a promise.

End flashback

It was the last memory I had of that meadow, well the last good memory, the last memory I had of Jasper and I just being together. It is such a bittersweet memory; I had refused to return to that meadow without Jasper, after all it was our meadow. Now it was probably just another part of the forest, overgrown or dead.

The only time I had returned there was the day of my change. I had finally decided I would go, if only to relive the memory, that was when James found me, I looked talented enough, he said I was pretty enough too. He wanted me to be a spy, spy on Maria's army. He wanted to take them over, take the feeding grounds, and throw me into the wars. Unfortunately for him, when I woke up I had no bloodlust, the mere thought of taking someone's life, someone's family had me cringing. My newborn strength faded extraordinarily fast, what should have taken a year only took a week. James tried to get rid of me, but I was so mad, I wanted to die, and he gave me eternal life. Now he wanted to kill me because I am no use to him? I don't think so. I looked at him with disgust as he charged me, getting ready for the impact I knew was to come, but it never did. I knew James was not good at anything other than tracking, but I didn't think he would miss his target. When I had looked again, all I saw was a pile of ash in the place where James was supposed to be.

"ISABELLA!" I was pulled out of my thoughts by a worried looking Ryan, and an amused Cullen Family.

"What? Don't call me that. Oh sorry, stuck in my thoughts again. You know the whole James thing." I told him with a shrug.

"What? Why were you thinking about that? I was calling you for over a half hour. You're really deep in there aren't you?" he asked tapping on the side of my head. I just shrugged again.

A/N: I didn't disappear off of the face of the earth, but I was taught some very important life lessons when I got abducted by those aliens. Anyways, the next chapter is in the process of being written, if not already posted. It might be quite a while before I could post again because of the wonderful internet I do not have. If you're looking for some Jasper/Bella fics to read, there are tons, but my favorites has to be Imperfect Love by mistyhaze (I think), and Mood Rings by lifelesslyndsey. All of lifelesslyndsey's stories are amazing; she has stories of almost every non-canon paring.
