Warning: This chapter contains cussing and three different point of views.


Bella Point Of View.

I looked up at Jasper and tried not to laugh as I met his gaze and he made a face at me. Papa was sitting at the end of the table and Carlisle was sitting on the other end while the rest of the council were sitting on the right and the Cullen's' were on the left. I, of course was sitting on the right because papa had insisted, which left me sitting across from Jasper and I haven't been able to concentrate on what anyone has been saying since we sat down.

I put my finger up to my lips and he pretended to zip his up and then winked at me. "Are you okay with that Isabella?" papa asked me and I nodded like I had actually been listening.

'Sounds great' I answered.

'Good, we will leave tomorrow morning' papa announced.

'Wait, what?' I asked.

'Really Isabella, were you not listening at all?' papa asked. I shook my head not even trying to lie. 'You're going to Albacris' papa said with some exasperation.

'But I don't want to go to Albacris. They all look at me strangely and I only just got my new wings. I need more time to learn how to use them properly' I argued. 'And what about all of you guys? I can't just leave you to fight my battles, my daddy taught me better than that'' ' I said stubbornly crossing my arms over my chest.

'He also taught you the difference between stupidity and logic' Peter pointed out and I threw him a dirty look. 'Aw come on Bells, we'll be with you and we're full on vampires. I thought you'd be use to the looks by now, you get them enough to have been' he said throwing an arm over my shoulders.

'Why would Bella be getting weird looks?' Emmett asked confused.

'Well, Isabella has dragon blood, angilic blood and vampiric blood running through her veins' Isaac explained. 'So you understand she is an exceptionally powerful being, and if I'm being harshly honest, most people fear her' he went on.

'Not that Isabella has ever given anyone reason to fear her' Alisa said.

'Except for that one indecent' Kale put in.

'And that was taken care of and a complete accident' Declan pointed out.

'Enough' papa interrupted in a commanding tone. 'This is all beside the point. Isabella is safest there, she will go' papa said

'I agree with Ventorin, there are to many unknown variables here, Isabella won't be safe until then' Kale agreed.

'The people will just have to deal with it'

'As will prince Gabriel'

'Isabella is most safe in Albacris'

I slammed my fist onto the table having had enough. 'Will you pleas stop talking about me as though I am not sitting right here?' I asked angry.

Papa looked at me apologetically 'Sorry, Piccolo.'

'Do I not get a say in any of this?' I asked and by the looks on everyone's faces the answer was no. 'This is unfair. I don't want to go. You can't make me'

'The decision has been made, you are going and that's final' papa said. I huffed in annoyance and slumped in my chair. I knew it was a mute point. They were set on me going and nothing I or anyone else can say with change their minds.

'I'm not going to talk to him and you can not expect me to' I muttered.

'We do not expect you to. We just want you safe' he said.

'Fine' I said with some exasperation. 'I'll go. But don't expect me to be happy about it'

'Good' he said, then I tuned them out again. I felt a small amount of calm and I gave Jasper a small smile. He returned it before going back to the conversation. After a while lost in my thoughts. I cleared my throat and stood up stretching.

'I'm going hunting, I need something to drink' I announced. Papa raised an eyebrow with a smirk and I sighed smiling despite myself. 'Fine, I'm going hunting 'cause I really need to kill something' I corrected. Papa grinned and I rolled my eyes at him.

'Perhaps someone should go with you?' papa suggested and I mumbled something unintelligible, but turned to Jasper.

'Will you come hunting with me?' I asked. He looked a little confused but nodded none the less. 'Can I go now that I have a babysitter?' I asked sarcastically.

'Don't be gone to long and don't go to far out' papa said. I nodded and quickly gave him a hug as well as Peter and Charlotte then said a quick bye to everyone else and grabbed Jaspers hand and dragged him out the back door. I ran into the forest Jasper close behind me. I finally stopped a few miles away to catch my breath. Jasper went to talk but I held up my hand silencing him.

I could hear the sound of a rather large animal, but I couldn't place the heart beat or the moments. I took off in the direction of the sound and before I realised what I was doing a bear lay at the ground by my feet. I looked at it disgusted with both the bear and myself, the bear because it was so easy to kill and myself because I had just killed an innocent animal and I was still not satisfied.

I looked up as Jasper moved closer from where he was leaning against a tree watching me. There was a small amount of hesitation in his eyes and I smiled slightly. Suddnly Jaspers llips were on mine in a heated kiss. I froze, but after a few seconds I kissed him back wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me. I'm not sure how long we stood there before we were broken apart by someone clearing their throat.

We both looked sideways to see a rather disgruntled looking Peter and an excited Charlotte. 'Jasper, can I talk to ya?' He asked in a strained voice. Jasper nodded giving me a quick kiss on the lips and Char one on the forehead.

'I'll see you back at the house' Jasper called just before he and Peter left. I just hopped Peter didn't do anything stupid.

Jasper Point Of View.

We kept runnin' until we hit the edge of a large waterfall. Peter didn't say anything he just took his shirt off roughly an' then his jeans before jumping into the water below. I did the same soon after. When I emerged from the water Peter was sitting on a rock by the edge of the water watching as the water cascaded down from the top of the waterfall. I swam over to him and hoisted myself on to the rock next to him then waited for him to start.

'This is messed up' I looked over to Peter and raised an' eyebrow. 'If it were anyone else I would've been thrilled, but it's my fukin' niece. An' when it comes right down to it, if ya hurt 'er,everythin' we went through together ain't gonna mean shit. I'll still mess ya up'

'You know, for all ya cryptic knowin' shit you don't know much' I said 'I don't think I'm can hurt 'er. She's invaded my every thought, My every move seems to revolve around 'er an' I don't even realize it happenin'. I have this strong feelin' to protect her an' with all this fuckin' shit goin' down I'm losin' my mind. I want to protect 'er, but right now I know there ain't a thing I can do'

'Looks like the Major found himself. Bells ain't gonna like it' He mumbled and my gaze snapped to him in confusion 'Right now it's all butterflies and rainbows, but ya'll gonna get to close and she's gonna put up those fuckin' walls of 'ers an' push ya away. An' you can't let her. She's been hurt, but I know ya love 'er, a blind man could see that, an' as much as it annoys me, I know she loves ya too,

'no matter what she says when she put her walls up. She does love you. An' she will put them up' Peter stood then and reached a hand down to help me up. I clasped his hand in mine and pulled myself up 'We should get back to our girls, it's getting late' Peter said and only then did I realize that the last bit f sunshine had gone away and the moon shone proudly in the sky. I nodded in agreement and wee took off to get our closes.

Once we were both dressed we took off to wards the house, we were only a mile or so out when a scream pierced through the night causing us to both go faster. We knew that scream. It was Bella.

Unknown Point Of View.

I had know her since I was young, maybe six or seven and she had always been there for me but what if this was too much to ask for? I watched as she and Charlotte stepped out of the trees and in a clearing. They were laughing and running through the clearing, she had grown up so much since I had last seen her only a year ago. I knew that she would have already have her adult wings. I had missed her birthday, much to my dismay and now I felt like a stalker.

I watched with interest as a man stepped out into the clearing. The girls didn't notice him and as they were now sitting on the ground talking with their backs to the man. I lifted my shirt over my head and attacked just as he did. Bella screamed and Charlotte jumped to her feet. before any of them could do anything I had him pinned to the ground, My wigs coming out. Then I was being pulled away from him by Bella 'Stop. He's not gonna hurt us' She said trying to calm me down.

I pulled her too me quickly and hugged her. A growl sounded in the air as two vampires broke out of the tree line into the clearing. I recognised Peter just as he recognised and turned quickly to the blond vampire and tried to catch him but just missed. When I saw that he was coming towards us I acted with out thinking and shot up into the sky. Bella struggled in my arms telling me to let her go. I did as she asked and released her. She was free falling for a few seconds before her wings came out.

I watched with interest as the blond vampire came up to her as she landed. She put her wings away and the blond pulled her into his arms. I landed back on the ground and the blond growled. 'Don't growl at his Jas' Bella scolded and I rolled my eyes, only Bella would tell of a vampire. 'He's not gonna anyone' She told him as she stepped away and extended a hand towards me.

I placed my large hand into her much smaller one and she gave it a light squeeze and smiled at me. 'Jasper, Em. This is Dante. My brother'
