Don't own twilight.
But it ended too soon.
Unless I was mistaken, I could swear that blood normally tasted better for longer.
That's when I noticed the arms round me, holding me down. Holding me away from the delightful smell, the taste.
I struggled against their hold.
My mind only slightly took in the fact that Edward was protecting the delicious blood. That that blood belonged to my future sister.
How could I?
Easy. It still smelled so sweet and mesmerising.
I struggled against my holders again. They were actually moving me backwards.
I struggled with my mind as well. Trying to remember why I gave this up in the first place.
I was easier once I was out room. I could no longer see Bella and the smell was fading.
I couldn't say the same for the memory though. The taste of her blood, human blood, was still a lingering memory, taunting me.
My restraints were still pulling me towards the door.
I must say they did succeed in getting me outside. It was a lot easier once I was there to concentrate.
I swore when I realised what I'd done.
"You got that right." Emmett said to me. He must have been the one holding me back.
"I'm sorry." I started.
"No worries to me, but I'm not the one who needs the apology." He said to me.
"I need to hunt first." I turned and ran straight into the forest, Emmett following close behind.
After finding some dear and a lion and then Emmett covered in bear fur, we headed home.
I was thinking about how this would change the family. Would Edward forgive me? Would Bella forgive me? What about Alice?
Thinking about my angel made me want her in my arms now. She was one of the reasons I lived the way I did and happily to. I needed to see her. It made me run faster to get home. I would face whatever consequences I had when I got there. I knew Alice would be there for me, and that would be all I needed.
"How long do you recon it'll take?" Emmett interrupted my thoughts.
"Don know. Why?" I looked at him. His grin was the one he wore when he was thinking up something that would humiliate someone else.
"Oh, come on? You're not going to bet on Bella are you?"
His face dropped.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh, why not? She's a Cullen now. She's got to get use to it some time." He put up a puppy dog face that was actually really funny.
"Fine. Let's see. I barely got time to inject the venom, so I say a full three days. Round 70 hours." I quickly calculated.
"And I say that you know what you're doing and it was at the neck, so, round 57 hours." I growled at him. I hated it when he implied that I knew how to kill humans better than anyone else.
"Just to be difficult?" I growled at him again.
He laughed at me. "Yep. 200 sound good?"
"Whatever." Then I turned my back on him and stalked off.
I cautiously walked through the back door. I listened to where everyone was. Actually it was more like felt. Bella was in, a lot of pain.
I shuddered and the reminder of the burning that wouldn't quit.
Edward was filled with worry, sadness, slight joy and a lot of other feelings along the same lines. Over reacting as usual.
Alice was also worried about something. Me, probably. Esme and Carlisle also had the same worry but not as much love as Alice.
I left Emmett and Rose alone with their feelings. I could feel slight lust and I didn't want to know where it was headed.
I made my way up the stairs, slowly filled with guilt. I made my way over to Alice to reassure her.
"Jasper!" It would have been a loud cry for joy, but she kept her voice low. Probably so Edward wouldn't hear that I was home.
I gave her a hug and probably a too nerves kiss.
Now she was nerves. Yep, now I'd done it.
"What's wrong?" She asked me, worried again.
"How's Bella going?" I asked concerned.
She just shrugged her shoulders. "Usual."
I sat down on our bed, pulling her onto my lap.
"And Edward?" I had to ask.
"Hasn't spoken to any of us since..." She trailed off, not trying to draw attention to what had happened.
I hid me face in her hair. "What should I do?"
"Help, I think." She started brushing my hair through her fingers.
I looked up at her confused.
"If it's not painful for you then you should try to take Bella's pain away. Edward might go slightly easier on you later." I had thought about trying that.
"Will that work?" She just shrugged her shoulders at my question.
I gave her a dumb look. She obviously knew what would happen, but wasn't going to let me in on the plan, this time.
I sighed, stood up still holding Alice, then placed her on the bed.
She just smiled at me as I walked out. I made my way up to Edward's room slowly, tasting his emotions as I went.
He was still the same as before, though some anger increased when he heard me at the door.
"What do you want Jasper?" Even behind the closed door I could hear him clearly, as well as Bella's soft whine. He sounded tired.
Unfortunately we don't get tired, we just feel drained of energy when we haven't feed. When was the last time he'd feed?
I ignored he's question and walked into his room. He was lying next to Bella who was cringing back into his chest, eyes shut, face turned in pain. Even now she was paler.
"Jasper I don't want to see you right now. Please leave. We can talk later."
"Please Edward. Let me try to help. It's the least I can do. I can feel Bella's pain, let me try to take it away?" I slightly begged to him.
I would have thought it to him, but it had nearly become instinct to say stuff out loud around Bella. She hated being left out, and if she could still hear what was happening now, she wouldn't like not knowing what was going on. Her vampires instincts would probably start to kick in and she wouldn't like it.
And if all that were true then the pain must be bad. And if Alice is right then I could help take her pain away.
Bella screamed out in pain. I cringed at the thought of what that had felt like. Edward turned back to her, concern streaming out of him.
He was also blaming himself. As usual.
"Fine." He muttered and went back to humming the song that he had written for Bella all those months ago.
I walked further into the room, closing the door again behind me.
