Chapter 15: Five Years Later

BPOV

It's been five years since I said my good byes to Forks and to the Cullens. I had to change my look but I just simply gave myself my Bella look. I got rid of my Belladonna look and let her fade away out of the spot light. Hopefully sometime soon I would go back to my singing but for the time being I am just going to enjoy my time being me again. Since my dad is still in Forks I have made him look a bit older so that he can continue his job that he loves as long as we are here, which we don't know how much longer that will be at the moment. Jake tells me that the Cullens haven't left yet, which I don't understand why they haven't, they can't go into town any more because we have been here too long people would notice. My dad came to me five years ago and told me what Jasper said but I just can't bring myself to trust him again, I can't trust any of them again, they have hurt me twice, thankfully Jake was here to heal me twice, I don't know what I would have done with out him.

A knock on my apartment door brought me out of my thoughts. I had started renting an apartment about two months after moving in with Jake. The smell was starting to get to both of us. Walking over to the door slowly I opened my senses to see who it was because I was not expecting company. The smell on the other side of the door was vampire and familiar but I could not place where I knew it from. When I opened my door I was in for a shock, there on the other side of the door was…. (AN: hehe).

I have done the same thing everyday for the past five years, I lay in bed and stare at the clock then when six o'clock comes I run to Charlie's to see if she is back. Everyday for the last five years I get the same answer, she wasn't there and it didn't look like she was ever going to come back. All my hope was dead, I was dead. I haven't hunted in a month, why should I? The only reason my family and I are still here is Bella, and when she leaves we will too.

Today felt different though, early this morning Alice had a vision. She saw Aro of the Volturi coming here for a visit, and he was bring with him his favorite guard Jane. She was one of the worst members of the guard because her power was so strong that it would take out any vampire. She has the power to create the illusion of pain. Even though it is just an illusion, anyone who has felt it knows that it feels to real. I am lucky that I have never pissed her off enough for her to do that too me.

When they arrived at the house everyone was already gathered in the living room. We did not know the purpose of their visit but since it was only the two we had to guess that it was of no harm but we knew it was better to be safe than sorry. The arrived at our house early in the morning, when Carlisle answered the door he said, "Hello dear friend." Carlisle and Aro had some history on them, Carlisle had lived with the Volturi for a short time when he was in Italy. He used to tell us they would try to convert him back to our "natural" diet. They could not understand why he would go against his very nature.

"Hello old friend," Aro said walking in the front door with Jane following behind him. "How is your lovely family doing?"

"We are all doing fine. How are you doing Aro?" asked Carlisle but I could tell he really wanted to know why Aro and Jane were here.

"We are doing good too Carlisle. We had a bit of a problem in Oregon and we thought we would stop in for a little visit while we were in the area. You have nothing to worry about Carlisle its just a friendly visit." Aro said laughing.

We had noticed the problem in Oregon but thought it best for the Volturi to handle it, now maybe it would have been best for us to do it so they weren't around our area. "Is this your family?" Aro asked.

"Yes, this is my wife Esme, Alice and Edward, Rosalie and Emmet, and Jasper." He said pointing us each out. None of us had ever had the pleasure of meeting Aro, we don't go to Italy and since we don't cause any trouble so they didn't come to us.

"Jasper Whitlock, I have heard much about you." Aro said, I could feel a bit of fear coming from him. This was a natural reaction from vampires who knew my past or see my scars. He held out his hand for me to shake, when I touched him I knew he was seeing my whole life from when I was human to now. Aro's gift is he can read minds but he has to be touching you for it to work. "Ah Jasper you have been though so much through your life."

"Yes, I have and I am better for it." I said. I had gotten over my life when I got better control, it was easier for me to accept what I was and what I had done. Its not the past that makes up my life it's the present.

"And I see the Swans are in the area. How lovely. Though I really don't like how you Cullens are treating Miss Swan." Aro said and I could feel his rage at us.

"I'm sorry Aro, but I don't see that as any of your business." I said removing my hand from his and stepping back.

"Ah yes, well I think that we will be leaving now." Aro said looking at Carlisle. "I can tell when I am no longer welcome. Come now Jane." Jane had remained silent for the whole conversation, but right before I left I felt the worst pain in my life, then I heard Edward scream.

"Edward? Jasper?" Alice screamed. "Stop this they did nothing wrong."

"Jane that's enough." Aro said, Jane just smirked and stopped. They walked out right afterward.

"What the hell was that?" Alice asked.

"That was Jane's power, I don't know why she did it though because she had her mind blocked." Edward stated.

"That was very painful. Its almost worse then being changed." I said still filling a bit of pain from her attack. But why did she attack us is the question.

When I opened my door I was in for a shock, there on the other side of the door was…. Aro Volturi and Jane.

"Hell Aro, Jane." I said. "Please come in. What brings you to my neck of the woods?" My father and I had met the Volturi a couple years ago and they were really nice to us so we quickly became friends.

"We had a problem to take care of and I heard my friend Carlisle Cullen was back in the area so I stopped in to see him. That is where I heard that you were here with your father but not living together now." Aro said.

"Yes my father and me are separate at the moment but he comes over every weekend, plus calls me all the time to check up on me." I said.

"Yes we heard about you and Jasper. I am sorry about that." Jane said. We had easily become friend once she got past the face that her powers didn't work on me or my father because I was blocking him.

"Thanks Jane, how is Alec?" I asked. Alec is Jane's twin brother, his power is worse in some ways then hers. He has the power to take way your senses. You can't even fight back with his powers and you don't even know your death is coming till its there.

"Boring as ever. You should come visit." Jane said. "The castle just wasn't the same without you there."

"I was only there three months. I didn't make that much of an impact. Besides your welcome to stay here and visit for a while. As long as you hunt animal, I don't need to werewolves in the area ripping you apart." I said smiling.

Jane looked like she was going to bust with excitement. "Aro can I please, please, please." Jane asked giving a poutty look, you could see Aro just turn to putty in her tiny hands.

"Okay but Bella is she safe around the wolves?" Aro asked, of course he would be worried.

"Aro the wolves are family to me, I will have to chance her eyes and like I said she would have to live off of animal blood while she is here. We will also have to move back in with Charlie because me and Dad are the only vamps allowed in the area." Just as I said that there was a loud bang on the door.

"What's that horrible smell?" Jane asked.

"Werewolf." I said changing their eyes to avoid any complications. "Hello Jake, Seth and Leah." I said answering the door.

"Bella, please tell me what you are doing having other vampires in the area." Jake said looking every bit as the alpha at the moment. He walked in with his arms folded across his chest.

"Jake, meet Aro Volturi and his guard Jane. As you can see they are veggie so no need to worry about it. But they are the Volturi you remember what I told you about them, they are our royal family, wan they were just visiting. Jane is going to stay a while but we are going to go to Charlie's that way they are not here." I said hoping to avoid any fighting.

"Okay Bells, its nice to meet you both, Jane I will see you around again I am sure. We must be going." Jake said, "And Bells call us when you leave."

"Okay Jacob," I said. "Please be careful out there guys."

"Sure, sure Bells." Jake said as they waved goodbye and headed out the door. When everyone was out I let out a breath that I didn't even know that I was holding.

"Thanks Bella for saving our asses back there. They would have had us easily beat we were out numbered." Aro said smiling.

"Anytime, no not really." I said laughing. "Jane let me pack a few things then we will take Aro here to the airport, you arrange for another guard to pick you up."

"Okay," Aro said smiling. "We will leave in thirty minutes." I nodded and headed in my room to pack my stuff. Thirty minutes later on the dot I put the last bag in my car and we were on the way to take Aro to the airport.

"Jane call us once a week to check in so we know your alright, plus when you will be home. Please don't stay gone more then ten years." Aro said laughing when we pulled up in front of the airport. Aro didn't have a long wait, apparently the Volturi have a private jet available 24 hours a day.

The drive to Charlie's house was quiet and I kept wondering what Jasper would do now that I was back at Charlie's. I know he comes by every day to see if I am back and I know that I miss him something terrible. While I am not broken any more I don't know if I could trust him again, could I?
