Chapter 15

"Hey Alice." Bella said timidly. "I thought I would just come and talk for a while."

I wish I could talk back. The pain worsened but I consentrated hard to hear what Bella had to say.

"I never got to thank you for everything. I just feel so helpless right now. I know you can't hear me, but..." Her voice broke at this point and I could hear her openly sobbing. "... I love you..." I love you too. Damn this. I wanted to comfort her. I"M ALIVE!! WILL SOMEONE JUST HEAR ME??? I won't be alive for long. That's for sure.

I tried to scream, to move, but nothing happened.

"I just regret not spending enough time with you. Now...I.... won't be...a..able t...t...too." She could hardly put together a sentence. I felt her arms around me. I wanted to hug her back. Please Bella. Hear me. Feel me. I'm here. I'm here.

Nothing. I used all of my strength. Damn this. I kept trying and trying.

I mustered all of my strength and was victorious. I managed to flick my finger a little. Bella's body froze.

"Alice?" She called out. Yes, yes I'm here. I tried to tell her. "Alice, if you can hear me, do something. Anything. Move a millimeter even."

I gathered all of my strength again. I was getting weaker but I managed to flick my finger again.

I felt Bella shoot up and run out the door. "CARLISLE! ESME!" She yelled.

They were in the room in a milli-second. "What is it Bella? Are you alright?" Esme asked. Bella responded in another sob. "I..I think A...Alice is alive."

Carlisle shifted his weight abit.

"Bella... A lot has happened. You're just in shock." Esme said softly. "No Esme! I saw her move. Alice.. Do it again. Please. Show them."

Ok. Now I had to do it. I managed by some miracle to flick my finger again.

"OH MY GOD." Esme said. Carlisle walked towards me. "We need to get Jasper here now." Carlisle finally said.

Yes. Finally something was going right. Jasper...

Maria hadn't changed since I had last seen her. She was still a sadistic monster. When her lips had touched mine, flashes of my haunted past had returned. I remembered the people I had killed. It was one of the few things I was good at.

Maria continued to circle me. I followed her with my stare.

It was then that it all began. One of the wolves, I think it was the youngest one, leapt at the nearest vampire. Dumb kid.

Maria turned and looked at him. Her entire army rushed at us. She gave me a quick smile then jumped into a tree behind the charging army. Standing and watching as usual.

The first vampire came at me. A newborn. Most of the higher ranks knew me and hung back.

I swerved and blocked. In a minute I had ripped him apart and started a fire. The sickly-sweet smell of burning vampire filled the air. Not long after the first vampire caught alite, there were more burning piles appearing.

I glanced around to make sure that all of my family were safe. Edward was covering Rosalie's back. Emmett had two newborns, one under each arm. The wolves were coordinating and working together on a group of 5 vampires. Thank goodness. They were ok.

We had destroyed most of the vampires in a short ammount of time. I glanced to each side of me. All the other vampires were preoccupied. Now was my chance. I started walking menacingly slow towards Maria. She caught my movement and lept out of the tree. Her smile was sickening.

I approached her and grabbed her by the throat. She dodged but my other fist slammed into her stomache. She doubled over onto her knees. Her eyes were wide with shock. She stood up, her eyes crazy with rage.

"Jazzy, I raised you better. You never hit a lady." She slapped me through the face. She was going for a second one, but I caught her wrist in mid-air.

"I would never hit a lady. But you, Maria, are no lady." I released her wrist and kicked her in her stomach. She flew backwards and collided with a tree. A small whimper came from her lips, and in a second, a newborn was there to defend her. Just as I had been in the past.

It wasn't long before he was a pile of ashes. I looked around to make sure everyone was still safe. Jacob had sent some of the younger wolves away. They were going to get hurt due to their inexperience.

Everyone appeared tp be ok. I turned my attention back to Maria. She was regrouping some newborns.. I was about to go up to her, but my phone started buzzing in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw that it was Esme. Before I said a word to her, her rushed words came through the receiver.

"Jasper, we need you here now!" She said urgently. My dead heart dropped to my stomach.

"What's wrong, Esme? What happened?" I replied just as urgently.

"!" It all came out blurred. I was too fatigued to understand her.

"Esme, slow down and repeat." I responded calmly.

I heard her inhale. "Alice is alive. We need you to get here now." The phone slipped out of my hand. A...A....Alice is alive? I looked at Edward desperately. He must have heard my thoughts.

"Go Jasper. We'll hold them off. Hurry." Edward said.

Everyone was still fighting around me. I ran as fast as I could toward the house. My last thoughts to Edward were:

DON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO THEM, EDWARD. I'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS I CAN.....

My feet couldn't move fast enough now. I'm coming Alice...
