Three chapters in one day, you lucky readers.

Alice's POV

"They're going to find you, Maria, just give up," I seethed.

We had reached a set of docks and she was choosing which boat would be the best to escape in.

She laughed. "I know they'll probably get me. I just want them to see my master plan of destroying you before they kill me. I'd die happily after seeing Jasper's face as you slowly die,"

I gulped. "Why did you want Jasper in the first place? There was no point and deep down you know it,"

She grabbed my wrist and half dragged me to the second smallest boat.

"I got bored and he was an old flame I hadn't put out," she muttered. "I'm surprised he didn't have you for lunch after smelling your scent. It's plain but it's better than bunny rabbit,"

She threw me onto a boat by my wrist and I landed with a painful crunch. I hissed in pain as I instinctively curled up in a ball.

"How pathetic," she sneered. "I have no idea why vampires allow you humans to pollute this planet,"

I snorted. "You don't allow us. You fear our new weapons. I bet a nuclear bomb could kill you,"

Her face turned stony as her foot hovered over my hand.

"I dare you to say another word," she challenged.

I stayed silent and she removed her foot. She turned away for a moment and moved to the steering wheel. I tried to breathe steady as she steered the boat straight into a cruise liner.

Jasper's POV

Maria steered the boat in a crazy fashion, narrowly missing other boats and going in random circles. I dodged another fishing boat as she continued on her route. I hissed as she charged straight for a rock formation. I was pulled out of the water before I could continue further. Emmett grinned as he pulled me up.

"Jasper, are you okay?" Bella inquired.

"Don't worry about me, just go after Alice,"

I looked around and realised the whole family was here.

"I thought you liked makin' sure Nessie was excluded from these type of adventures," I drawled.

She smiled and looked at her parents. Edward had the excuse of steering while Bella was fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.

"They were going to leave Jake, Esme, Carlisle and I behind but they found themselves following you off a cliff so Carlisle, Esme, Jake and I got a boat to help out," Nessie explained.

"Why couldn't they just jump off the cliff like I did?" I asked.

"A boat was a smarter idea," Bella said curtly.

Jacob snorted. "Edward's still touchy about Bella's little cliff diving misadventure,"

I chuckled. "Well, I'm glad you chose the boat,"

There was a scream and I gave a panicky look to Edward.

What's happening?

"I think we should get onto the boat. I'll try and manoeuvre-"

I launched into the water before he could finish and used my newfound determination to propel me through the water. I jumped onto the boat and found Maria's throat easily. Her eyes were wide as she realised that I finally had an opportunity to kill her.

"This has been fun, Jasper," she stated. "But if you kill me now, I doubt you'd be able to find your Alice,"

"Where is she?" I demanded.

She smiled. "Kill me,"

"Do it," Rosalie snapped.

"I'll never find Alice if I do," I stated.

"Who cares,"

I growled at her instinctively which gave Maria the chance to escape. She almost swerved around Rosalie but was pulled back by her hair. Rosalie bit into her neck and I roared in anger.

"Jasper, she was bluffing. Alice is on the boat," Edward stated.

Emmett was behind him and had brought a portable barbeque. He took the grill out and lit a fire. I knew this would be my only opportunity to take part in killing her but decided against it. Alice was on this boat and I needed to find her. Emmett, Edward and Rose quickly disposed of the body parts while I looked for Alice.

Alice's POV

"Alice! No!" a voice roared.

My shaky breath hitched. He ran over to me and got rid of the duct tape. Maria had cleverly stashed me away in the bathroom that went off the room under the boat. Apparently the Cullens had caught up with us a little faster than she anticipated. I had spent the last few minutes thinking that I was going to die in a claw foot bathtub.

"Jasper," I breathed.

"Alice, what's wrong? What hurts?" Jasper inquired.

"She cracked my ribs and made them punctured my lungs," I laughed and the sound was disturbing and raspy. "But I'll be fine, Jazz,"

"Alice…" he looked so broken, I hated causing that.

"You could cure me,"

"I could kill you,"

"I'm dying already," I retorted.

"If I lose control-"

"Control Schmontrol. I believe in you,"

"Alice, before you, my life was only occasionally bearable but then you made is magnificent and amazing and...if this is what you want, what you need to survive-"

"Jazz, just bite me!"

He chuckled and scanned my eyes. He gently raised my upper body and his face was directly above the skin on my neck.

"Jasper, it's okay, I can do it for you," Carlisle offered.

I felt his icy breath on my neck as he deliberated this. I looked him in the eye and glared at him while sending off waves of impatience. He smiled and bit me. I registered two things in that one moment.

1. The new pain. The excruciating pain as his venom flowed into me, changing who I was and improving it.

2. I was going to spend eternity with Jasper!

I smiled in my delirium at that thought.

"Jasper that's enough, she's fine," Carlisle stated.

"Get off her, Jasper, before it's too late" Bella said gently.

"Stop it, she's okay now," Edward informed.

"Ssssstttttttttttoppppp," I slurred.

He let go of me and kissed my forehead. I was placed back down on the bathtub.

"Close your eyes and let the venom spread. I'll draw out all the pain for you," he said tenderly.

I was about to argue but I didn't seem to be able to even keep my eyes shut. They closed slowly and the last thing I saw was Jasper.

"TTThhh….annks," I mumbled.

Edward's POV (A few days later)

Jasper looked at her anxiously for the fifth time this minute.

"She's dead, I killed her!" he groaned miserably.

I sighed. "Jasper, we went through this when Bella was getting turned. Remember what you said to me?"

He looked down at his feet and I stood up and slapped him like he did when I was moody.

"You are acting like an idiot. Man up before she decides that eternity with you would be awful. Are you really going to let the only woman that could ever love you walk away, you whiny bastard?" I demanded, quoting him word for word.

He smiled. "You're right. I just wish she could just open her eyes,"

"She will," I put my hand on his shoulder. "Trust me,"

"Oh god, you aren't going to kiss, are you?" Nessie teased. "That would be strange, even for this family,"

I looked at my daughter and rolled my eyes.

"Mom wanted to talk to you," she chirped.

"Bye, Jasper,"

"No, she wanted to talk to Uncle Jasper,"

He let out an exasperated sigh. "I went outside of this room for a whole minute yesterday. I don't want to do that again today,"

"It'll be healthy," I reasoned. "Bella wouldn't drag you away if there wasn't a reason,"

He glanced at Alice's still body and kissed her forehead before leaving the room.

"Anything new?" Renesmee inquired.

"Well, Jasper's covering up most of her pain so she hasn't really moved much," I stated. "Your mother didn't feel pain during her transformation,"

"Really?"

I nodded. "The morphine helped,"

"I wish Alice was injected with some morphine,"

"Me, too,"

Bella's POV

He looked at me impatiently and I removed my earphones.

"What is it?" he inquired.

"What is what?" I asked dumbly.

"Renesmee said you wanted to talk,"

I cocked my head. "If I wanted to talk to you, I would've gone to Alice's room,"

He shook his head in disbelief as he realised Renesmee tricked him.

"Crafty little hybrid," he muttered.

I grinned. "You better go back, you sulked for an hour after you left her room for a minute yesterday,"

He ran at vampire speed back to Alice's room and I heard another knock on the door.

"Momma…" Renesmee asked in her special, innocent tone that she saved for special requests.

"Jasper said no to a party for Alice so we can't throw one," I stated sternly.

She laughed. "No, it's about something else,"

I patted the chair next to me and she sat down.

"What's on your mind, Renesmee?" I inquired.

She made a face at me using her full name but didn't make a comment. Her hand reached out to lightly touch my cheek and I saw a flash of me when I was going through the painful vampire transformation.

"Dad told me you didn't feel pain because of the morphine," she informed.

I averted my gaze. "Oh...yeah. I guess I was just lucky…"

My reaction seemed to confirm her suspicions.

"You lied to him?" she asked.

"I love your father very much," I stated.

"So you didn't lie to him?"

I looked at her and she looked at me curiously through her chocolate brown eyes.

"...I...I did feel pain. The morphine stopped me from moving or screaming for some of that time. The rest...well the rest of the time I just had to grit my teeth and live through it," I confessed. "I never told anyone because I thought it'd be better if they didn't know. Edward would loathe himself for all of eternity if he knew that I was in pain,"

"Does that mean I can lie to Dad?"

I snorted. "Nice try but your father's a gifted mind reader so it'll be more than a little difficult,"

"I bet Aunt Rose can give me lessons,"

"Why do you need to lie to your father?"

"It's just average teenage girl stuff,"

I arched an eyebrow but she didn't elaborate. She stood up and walked outside of the room.

Rosalie's POV

"How's Alice?" I inquired.

Jasper smiled as he looked at her. "She's becoming a vampire,"

"Alice Cullen, that has a nice ring to it," Emmett joked.

"So does Alice Whitlock," Renesmee chirped.

"Alice Whitlock," Jasper said, testing the name.

Nessie's eyes went as wide as saucers. "You need to marry her Uncle Jazz, we'd have so much fun planning a wedding!"

"Marriage?"

"Sure, I mean we're all married except for Nessie and Jake," Emmett stated.

"Son, it's a good idea," Carlisle added.

Jasper hesitated before he replied. "What if she doesn't want to marry me?"

"Well, speaking from experience. The best way to find out is to ask," Edward said teasingly. "And if they say no, ask again and again until they agree,"

Bella burst into laughter and intertwined her fingers with Edward's.


Finally the final chapter! I'm mentally high fiving myself right now. Review if you feel like virtually high fiving me.
