Yes, it's been awhile since I posted but I didn't forget. Life is stressful and very busy! Thank you to all of you that have reviewed and added this story! It means the world to me! I do not own Twilight, the Tiger Army song titles, nor Aisling Grey from the book "You Slay Me" by Katie MacAlister.

We were all piled into Edward's Volvo heading toward the location Damon gave me. To say that I was nervous was an understatement. I wasn't quite aware what my family and I were fixing to get ourselves into. All I know for sure is that Jasper was in trouble and I was ready to kill for his safe return. I glanced at Emmett. He turned around and shot me a smile and I realized that he was as ready for a bloodshed as well. Rosalie put her arm around my shoulder. She and I were both sitting in the back seat.

"Don't worry Alice, we're going to get Jasper back."

I nodded not trusting my voice to respond. I started wondering what Damon was doing to Jasper and if Jasper was hurting.

"I'm sure he's fine." Edward responded to my thoughts.

"Okay, so here's the game plan." Emmett began. "Edward and I will corner him and you girls grab Jasper."

"What and let you and Edward get all the glory?" Rosalie shook her head. "You know Em, you're not the only one that wants to kick this guy's ass."

Emmett reached back and grabbed her hand. "I realize that but you have no idea how long I've been waiting for a chance to take someone down in a fight."

"How much further Edward?" I asked not wanting Emmett and Rosalie to start arguing.

"Shouldn't be far."

"I don't like going in blind." Damon had some how taken away my ability to see the future and it was bothering me that I couldn't see how to protect my family.

"I can tell you how this is gonna end." Emmett laughed. "We kick Damon's ass and bring Jasper home."

"Just that simple huh, Emmett?" Edward stated.

"Well, there might be a few snags here and there, but yeah pretty much."

Rosalie rolled her eyes and reached for my hand. "Whatever happens Alice, we're here for you."

"Thank you."

"You do know you're my favorite sister right?"

"I'm your only sister." I reminded her.

"Well, I'm sure if Bella has it her way, she will be in our family as well. Thus making you my favorite sister."

I smiled knowing that Rosalie wasn't that fond of Bella but she had her reasons.

"Speaking of favorites," Emmett turned around. "I know I'm your favorite brother, right Alice?"

"I'm her favorite." Edward announced and grinned. "You tease her too much."

"I can't help teasing. That's part of my nature."

I knew they were doing everything they could to take my mind off of Jasper. I appreciated it more than they would ever know. "I love you both equally."

"See, it's me. She's just to considerate to hurt your feelings." Edward sounded pleased.

Emmett pretended to pout and then reached over and messed up my hair. "Don't think I'm going to forget that shortie."

"We're here." Edward pulled the car to a dead end and parked.

"Where the hell are we?" Emmett asked looking around. We had driven down a dirt road for quite a while. Trees surrounded both sides of the road. Edward had to stop at an orange gate. We didn't have a key and the directions we were given was to go past the gate and down the trail. We got out and proceeded to make our way along the trail. The trees appeared menacing. It was getting dark and the moon was nowhere to be seen. The trees kept it hidden with their leaves. As we silently made our way down the path, I listened for anything to alert us to where Damon and Jasper might be. We finally came to a clearing on the trail and Damon was standing there smiling.

"I'm so glad you made it."

"Where's Jasper?" I demanded.

"Oh he's taking a nap. He got tired of waiting for you." Damon pointed to his left and my eyes followed. They instantly fell on Jasper's body lying on the ground. My feet were moving before my brain could comprehend what was happening. Damon was in front of me before I could reach Jasper.

"Sorry Alice, you don't want to bother him while he's resting. It's been a long time since he's been capable of sleeping. You don't want to wake him."

"Get the hell out of my way!" I was ready to shove him when Damon grabbed my arms and threw me backwards.

"ALICE!" Edward caught me before I could hit the ground. Emmett growled and raced toward Damon.

Damon laughed as Emmett charged toward him. Damon waved his arms and said something I couldn't understand. Emmett grabbed Damon by the shoulders but quickly released him. His body began to spasm. Rosalie went to defend Emmett. She didn't reach Damon though. He used something to keep her from moving.

Edward leaned down and whispered in my ear. "Get Jasper, I'll take Damon."

I nodded. We took off with our vampire speed. Damon laughed as Edward approached him. I forced myself to concentrate on getting Jasper. I ran to him and bent down.

"Jasper." I moved some of his hair out of his face. "Jasper, can you hear me?" He didn't respond and I was crippled with fear. I was almost positive that Damon had murdered him. Fear was soon replaced with pure hatred. I turned quickly to see that Damon had knocked Edward down. I got to my feet and with great speed, I slammed myself into Damon. Since his focus had been on Edward, he didn't have time to defend himself against me. We both hit the cold, damp ground. I felt rocks brush against my arms. If I had been human, the rocks would have torn my skin. I wasn't sure exactly how I was going to beat Damon, but I left the vampire side of me take over. I bit into his neck and jerked back tearing off his flesh. I kept biting and tearing letting myself become one with the monster I knew I could have been.

Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie was soon there with me helping me tear Damon apart. Everything became a blur and I'm not quite sure what happened. All I knew was that Edward had me in his arms trying to calm me down.

"It's okay Alice, he's gone." I'm sure it took a good five minutes for me to process what I was told.

"Bastard." Emmett spit. "Disappeared before we could finish him off."

"What?" I was confused. I glanced up at Edward. "Where's Jasper?" Panic re-entered my body and I tried to remove myself from my brother's embrace.

"I'm here Alice." Jasper soon replaced Edward. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close.

I pulled away not truly believing it was Jasper. I placed my hands on his face. "Are you okay? What did he do to you?"

"I'm fine and I'm sure it was some type of spell."

Rosalie nodded. "The spell must have ended when Damon disappeared."

"Where did he go?" I looked around. I dropped my hands back down to my sides.

Emmett snorted. "He couldn't handle the ass kicking he was receiving so he did his puff of smoke thing."

"Which means he'll be back." I sighed.

"If he's that stupid."

"He's not finished with us." Edward said.

Jasper nodded. "He wants Alice and I know he will stop at nothing to try and get her."

I wrapped my arms around myself. "I wish he'd leave us alone."

"We have to find a way to keep him from coming back." Rosalie stated. "Can we put some kind of binding spell on him? You know to keep him from crossing back over."

"You mean like closing a portal?" Emmett asked.

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

Emmett laughed. "I think you've been reading those Aisling Grey novels way too much!"

"Hey! Don't laugh at me! Those novels might actually come in handy."

"Sure, someone please summon up a guardian."

Rosalie hit him hard on the shoulder. "Jerk. You're sleeping on the couch tonight."

"We don't sleep."

"You know what I meant." They argued all the way back to the car. Edward followed behind them silently laughing.

Jasper and I were a few steps behind Edward. I held Jasper's hand afraid if I let go, he'd dissolve and I'd be left alone. Jasper felt my worry and sent calming waves.

"I'm okay Alice. He didn't hurt me."

"He could have and it would have been my fault."

Jasper stopped us and turned me to face him. He took my face in his hands forcing me to look at him.

"None of this is your fault. Don't ever say that again."

"But."

"No Alice." He bent down and kissed me. I felt love spread all through my body. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer.

"Hey! Lovebirds, some of us are ready to go home!" Emmett yelled.

"Are you in that much of a hurry to be alone?" Jasper asked as he and I pulled away. We made our way to the Volvo.

"You're so funny Jazz man. Rosalie isn't going to make me stay downstairs."

Rosalie laughed. "Keep telling yourself that."

Emmett's face fell and Jasper and I smiled. I put my hand on Emmett's arm. "It'll be okay Emmett. You can watch television."

"Or better yet, you can read You Slay Me." Rosalie commented. "Then see if you think my idea is crazy."

"I don't wanna read a chick book." Emmett whined. We got settled inside the car and Edward began driving us back home. The drive was surprisingly silent. I think we were all lost in our own thoughts. I knew that Emmett was probably pondering on a way to get back in Rose's good graces. Edward was probably thinking of Bella. As I held Jasper's hand, I thought about how much I loved him and what I needed to do to keep him safe. I never wanted him to be harmed again.
