This is the shortest chapter but you'll see why soon enough!!!!

Jasper's POV

Bella grinned up at me and then I smelt it...smoke. I grabbed Bella and ran out of the house with her. I plopped her down on the grass then ran back inside for Alice.

"Alice! Alice where the hell are you?" I ran up the stairs and found her twirling round in our bedroom. I swung her up into my arms and ran outside. I sat her down on the grass next to Bella who was staring at the house in horror. Esme and Carlisle ran out of the house followed by Emmett who was dragging Rosalie out. Bella jumped up and started to run towards the house but I quickly wrapped my arms around her waist. I wouldn't let her go, even if she broke my arms and bit me. I wasn't gonna lose my little sis as well. Soon Bella started screaming.

"No!! Edward!!" Bella still hadn't used her strength on me "Edward! Let me go! EDWARD!!!" I felt something wet and warm drip onto my skin and I knew immediately that it was Bella's tears "Let me go...Edward's in there!!! EDWARD!!!!" Bella twisted round in my grip to face me "Jasper let go. I have to save him..." I wanted to save him as well but I had to save Bella first, and in doing that I was letting my brother die. She turned to face the burning house again "EDWARD!!!"

I didn't let Bella go until the house was just a pile of ash and all the flames had gone out. She walked over and kneeled down by the rubble and started rocking back and forth. I let Bella be and walked over to Alice who was shaking violently and sobbing tearlessly. I tried comforting her while Emmett looked helplessly between a screaming Rosalie and a half tortured Bella. Eventually Carlisle took Rosalie off his hands and he went to Bella. He lifted her into his arms and she cuddled into his chest. Her breathing became shallower and soon she was asleep. I patted Alice's back while she sobbed tearlessly into my shirt. She soon pulled away from me and walked over to Emmett. She held her arms out and reluctantly Emmett placed Bella in her arms. Alice walked over to the edge of the tree's and sat down against a large oak. She started humming a tune that I thought was going to turn my insides to mush. Bella's Lullaby.

A couple of hours later Carlisle and Emmett walked over to me. Carlisle placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Come on son, we have to find..." I swallowed against the lump in my throat. The thought was vile but the task had to be done. I nodded and walked beside Emmett. We soon reached the ruined house and Carlisle led the way in.

"Emmett you check the second floor, Jasper you take the third and I'll search the ground floor" I nodded and sped off towards the third floor. I checked Emmett's and Rosalie's room first. It was totally destroyed. I then checked...his room. I opened the half burned down door. I scanned the room for anything that would have suggested he was in here. I checked the shelves for any CD's that were out of place...nothing. Then something caught my eye. On the very top shelf right at the back was an untouched box. I took the box in my hands and carefully opened it. Inside was a ring, a ring that was more beautiful than any other. The ring was oval shaped and had sapphires and diamond dotted all around it. They were held in place by a web of solid gold. There was also a note in the box. The note had not been harmed by the fire either. I opened it and read carefully.

Dearest Bella,

I know we are already married but I couldn't just leave it at that. This ring was my mother's engagement ring and is now yours. I will always love you no matter how far apart we are.

Keep my heart safe, it's yours.

Edward xxx

I swallowed again. I had to show Bella this, it was hers now. I searched the room again. One thing was missing though. Edward's safe.

Why he kept a safe was a mystery, I mean Emmett and I could break into it easily. But why was the safe gone? It wouldn't have burned in the fire, it was too tough. That meant one thing. Edward had got out.
