Jasper POV
This was torture, I could feel the control slowly slipping away, her lips on mine, spreading a poison through my veins. Inch by inch I was surrendering, I could no longer control my arms. I attempted to curl my fingers into a ball, but I had lost control of my hands. I couldn't think of anything but Maria, and I could feel her contempt as she controlled my actions. As I lost the last of my control I said my final goodbyes to my loved ones in my head, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Edward, Bella, Renesme, even Rosalie. There was one person I could not let go of, Alice.
I pulled her face into my mind, using every last ounce of control to concentrate on her face, her voice, her scent, the way her lips moved with mine, the way she tasted. I focused on every memory of her I could find, our first meeting, our first kiss, the night we… Tears were running down my cheeks as I fought to remember my most loved one. A burning was coursing through my veins, it started at my heart and flowed outwards.
The burning was so similar to the burn of when I was changed, but while that was a pain that made me want to die, to escape somehow, this pain made me want to glide and run and smile for eternity. There was a fluttery feeling in my heart and a smile played on my lips. I could feel Maria's contempt melting away, replaced with shock and anger. Where the burning had passed was a dull ache as my brain remembered how to use those muscles and nerves again. I was fighting back.
