I Love You More Than You Will Ever Know- Never Shout Never

Previously…

Observing the radiant smile on her face I allowed my eyes to take in the results of her change.

Damn. If Bella was beautiful before- and she was- then now she was absolutely breathtaking.

Her form was slim in a perfect hourglass shape, with her legs and stomach noticeably more toned then before. Her chest was obviously bigger, and I quickly forced my eyes to move up to her face.

Her face was more slender then three days ago, and her hair had lightened up to a lighter brown, and of course her eyes were bright red. The only things that really bore any semblance to human Bella was her full lips, her big eyes, and her small nose.

"So, is it everything you thought it would be?" I asked after I regained control of my brain and my wandering eyes.

"So far? It's better." She replied cheekily before leaning forward and letting her pouty lips graze my cheek.

My breathing stopped as I felt her hair against my cheek and her breath against the side of my face as she spoke.

"Thank you for making my life something to live for."

BELLA POV

"Carlisle!" I exclaimed, slipping out of Jasper's arms and giving my vampire father a hug.

"Hello Bella. You finally got to become one of us." The blonde vampire responded lightly, returning my quick hug.

"Yeah, it's about time right?" I joked back, pulling away from him and looking back at Jasper who had remained silent.

I took a second to really look at Jasper for the first time since my change. Man, was my vision improved a hundred times over! With my new eyes I could see every speck of color in Jasper's eyes; every shade of blonde in his hair; every haunting scar etched onto his skin.

I moved my eyes to his face and saw a distracted and distant look on Jaspers face. Immediately I felt confusion and hurt overcome me.

Jasper was all for changing me and after he does he barely says a word to me. What's wrong with him? Am I not the same without warm skin and blood flowing through my veins?

"So Bella, how do you feel?" Carlisle asked making me break my gaze away from Jasper.

"Overwhelmed. Apprehensive. Excited. Anxious. Yeah, that about covers it." I said truthfully, causing the older vampire to laugh.

"It takes awhile to get used to."

I smiled hesitantly at Carlisle, forcing my eyes to not flicker back to Jasper.

"How are you doing that?" Jasper said suddenly, his eyes intense.

Oh, he speaks.

"Doing what?" I asked, not bothering to suppress my exasperation.

Either Jasper didn't notice my tone, or he didn't care. But either way it pissed me off more.

"Blocking your emotions off from me." He answered, his dark colored eyes look intently into mine.

I gaped at him in astonishment. Since when could I block Jaspers powers? Before my change Edward had said that I could block powers from my mind, but Jaspers talent is purely emotional. He can actually make someone feel things. My change must have amplified the ability I had as a human. I wonder what else Jaspers venom altered?

Oh, that reminds me…

I ignored Jaspers question- what he deserved it? -and went to go look for the bathroom.

I heard whispering voices from behind me and my subconscious registered that I could listen to what they were saying if I really wanted to. But I was pre-occupied with something else right now…

I looked up into the mirror above the sink and held back a gasp. Was that really me? Could that really be me? The enchanting girl in the mirror lifted her hand up and touched her face. It was me.

As a human I had been constantly plagued by my insecurities, but now I could stand next to any member of my family and know I looked like I belonged with them.

I trailed my hand up to my bright crimson eyes and frowned at my reflection. They were so…red.

"The color will fade." Jasper murmured appearing behind me.

I nodded absently and avoided looking him in the eyes. I couldn't talk to him now and keep control over my emotions. There was just too much going on for me to keep track of, even with my heightened senses.

"Don't do that!" Jasper said suddenly, sounding frustrated. "Ever since you woke up you haven't even looked at me. Is it not the same now that you can really see my scars clearly? Have you finally realized how dangerous I really am?"

What the heck? How could he even say, let alone think that? He's the one who isn't speaking to me!

I spun around and stood right in front of Jasper, glaring at him. "Don't say that Jasper! You know that's not true! Do you think so little of me that you would really say that?"

I saw his eyes soften and he had the grace to look slightly ashamed.

"Jasper you have saved me. Honestly, I don't know how I would have gotten through Edward and I's split without you. And now you and I can both move on from all that crap and just…start over. Sure we'll still see Alice and Edward but we've grown and become completely new people through this." I said quietly laying my head against his chest and inhaling his scent. He smelt like woods and the sun.

"You can't deny its truth though." He finally murmured, the sound reverberating from his chest. "I've lived my whole life hiding my scars and now that someone finally isn't afraid or disgusted by them…it's a little hard to understand and get used to."

"Well you better get used to it, because you're stuck with me." I quipped to lighten the atmosphere.

He chuckled lowly and wrapped a long arm around my back, pulling me closer to him.

"I wouldn't want it any other way. Now, I know a certain newborn vampire who must be pretty thirsty…" He trailed off, pulling back and holding me by the shoulders in front of him to observe my reaction.

He wasn't disappointed when I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, feeling a tingle in my throat.

I shivered in anticipation.

"Come on, let's go." He said, tugging on my hand.

I allowed him to lead me out the door as we started running at a leisurely pace.

Now I see why the Cullen's always ran everywhere they went. Running was…exhilarating. It was like an adrenaline rush, but for vampires.

I smirked and increased my speed, giggling when Jasper ran faster to match my speed. He raised an eyebrow questioningly, a daring grin on his face.

I pushed myself and ran as fast as I could, zooming through the trees at an impossible speed.

After a couple of minutes I stopped and jumped into a tree, waiting a few seconds for Jasper to appear next to me.

When I saw him I leapt from the tree I had climbed and landed on his back, aiming to knock him down. In half a second he had me off his back and in his arms, pushed against the floor.

I gasped in a breath and heard Jasper's low, teasing growl from above me.

"If you want to surprise me you'll have to do a lot better than that darlin'." He growled in my ear amusedly, pushing me slightly harder into the floor.

I felt a low rumble in my chest before I gripped his shoulders and flipped him over, straddling his waist and pressing my hands into his arms to hold him under me.

I froze there for a second before I took in Jasper's stunned expression.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry!" I said jumping off of him.

I had just followed my instincts when I had pinned Jasper to the floor. I forgot that for awhile I would be able to do that because I'm a newborn vampire.

He laughed and dusted himself off before jumping up next to me.

"Don't apologize! That was great!" Jasper said encouragingly, pulling stray leaves out of my hair. "You're just lucky you have super newborn strength."

"Come on, let's go eat some animals." I grumbled, swatting his hands away from my hair as he chuckled at me.

"You're going to have to get used to compliments you know." My companion said matter of factly.

I rolled my eyes and heard him add quietly "Especially looking like that."

I but my bottom lip and was trying to decided if he meant for me to hear that last comment when I felt the air change.

There was a beating heart nearby.

I tensed at the exact same moment Jasper did.

"Bella, wait-" He started, but I had already taken off in the other direction.

Whatever that smell was…it was intoxicating. It was incredible. And I had to have it.

I let my desire guide me as I flew through the forest faster than earlier with Jasper.

I felt the fire in my throat ignite as I came within viewing distance of my prey.

I crouched in the forest watching the two hikers. I would only have about half a minute before Jasper caught up. I would need to hurry…

Just as I was about to step onto the hikers trail I restrained the monster inside of me and flew back into the cover of trees. I held my breath as I ran eastward back towards where I could hear Jasper's approaching footfalls.

Faster. I had to get away from them. I would not start my new life out by draining a person; A person with a family, friends, and a future. My thoughts calmed my consuming blood lust and I slowed down to a stop right in front of a cliff. I sat down a few feet from the edge and watched the water below me.

It reminded me of La Push, Jacob, and the past.

I heard Jasper walk up behind me and sit down next to me. No one spoke for two hours as we sat together watching the sunset.

"I almost killed them." I whispered, holding my legs against my chest.

"Almost."

"At the last second I realized that they were people, and that draining them would be the worst thing I could do." I continued as Jasper listened quietly.

"You know, most newborns would have attacked them without a second thought. Hell, some older vampires would have." The tall vampire next to me commented.

"Really? I just thought about how significant that person must be to someone else and I couldn't bite them."

"Amazing." Jasper said shaking his head in awe.

"You know if I was human I would be blushing right now."

"Ahh, and you start seeing the benefits of being an immortal vampire."

I opened my mouth to retort when Jasper stiffened.

"You smell that?" He asked seriously.

I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply.

"Deer." He confirmed.

I nodded and looked to Jasper for permission to go after them.

He nodded his head forward and I crept back through the trees stealthily. They were close by.

I waited until I was on the edge of the forest and singled out one buck. Waiting. Any moment now. There! I pounced on the herbivore and sank my silver fangs into its life source.

All too soon my prey was finished and I dropped it onto the ground, buried it, and darted off in search of another animal to quench my thirst.

"There you are." I said walking up to Jasper who had been waiting on the rim of the trees, watching me hunt.

I noticed that his eyes were darker than they were earlier; almost coal black in color.

"Aww, is poor Jasper jealous that I've been doing all the hunting?" I teased, shoving him lightly.

"I think everyone will be, judging by the state of your attire." He retorted nodding toward what used to be a pair of sweats and a t-shirt.

Oh god. Had I really been running around in this? My pants had dirt and blood on them, and my shirt was ripped from when I had tackled the deer.

Jasper held out the jacket he had been wearing and I took it from him gratefully.

I leaned against a tree and waited for Jasper to finish hunting for himself. I can't believe he didn't go hunting since the beginning of my change. Jasper really had stepped up and become one of the most important people in my life, if not the most important.

I picked a small flower that was growing in the grass by where I was standing and spun it around between my thumb and pointer finger absentmindedly. It really was like my life in a way. Just small, barely blossomed into what it could be; growing more and more each day.

A/N: Woohoo! The chapter is done! I feel accomplished! Lol. Let me know what you all think! :D And I know my attempt at a metaphor (is that what its called? Lol) at the end was kinda lame, but I like it. Haha. Thanks for continuing to read, it's what makes me want to continue writing! Just to warn my readers: I'm busy looking at colleges and trying to get through my junior year of high school so bear with me as I attempt to update this story in my bust schedule!
