The Planning & The Arrival

Jasper's POV

With Victoria now destroyed we just have Alice to deal with. Oh, this is going to be fun, there really is nothing more thrilling than dealing with a vampire who can see when you're coming. As we all gather around the dinning room, feelings of sadness and frustration run through the circle, though for the pack there is mostly controlled anger coming from them. Their just going to be oh so helpful, note sarcasm. Jacob's annoyance seems to break free.

"Still don't see why we can't just go in there and rip the nutty leech to shreds."

I'm gonna have to find out if the meaning for 'Jacob' is 'Stupid'. Then again, that wouldn't be fair to the rest of the world's men whose sharing this idiots name. It's him lacking the IQ, that's what it is. Bella says what anyone with half a brain cell is thinking.

"Because brainless, there are reporters all over the place. You see we all have this little thing called exposure to worry about. But, hey if you want to be responsible for either global murder, or world wide human enslavement, or even having your ass tossed in a government lab and chopped up. Go right ahead and kill her in front of the reporters."

Peter, Char, Rosalie and Emmett are smirking, the little pooch is pouting. Not to mention forgets that Bella is now a vampire, along with the rest of my family.

"Just a suggestion, don't have to be such a bitch about it."

I just hear one of his pack utter the word 'Idiot' before I realise that Bella has beaten me to him this time. An echoing crack rings through the house again as Bella pins Jacob to the wall.

"You know, considering that I've saved your flee ridden ass, twice, you're not very grateful. Maybe I should let my mate and sisters teach you some manners now instead of later."

I feel nothing but eagerness from Rosalie and Char, not to mention there is my own. He is after all, long overdue for a lesson in manners. Sadly, his little pack leader intervenes.

"Bella, please let him go."

She looks over her shoulder to me, God that's sexy.

"Your choice darlin' personally I wouldn't mind teaching him some lessons right now; and I know your sisters are all for it."

Turning her attention back to Jacob, Bella tilts her head to one side before dropping him. Disappointment floods our sisters.

"Unless you something smart and important to say. Keep your mouth shut."

With that Bella comes and stands by my side once more. Wrapping an arm around her waist, I pull her closer to me, making sure she is fully aware of how much I desire her right now. Once again we're interrupted from our little moment.

"Later Major."

Peter. God damn it. A growl comes from my chest, and Peter wisely steps behind his own mate. Guess I'm just gonna have to take my mate away somewhere, alone, uninterrupted. Hmm, yes, that is exactly what I need to do.

"Jasper, will you please stop thinking those things about Bella."

Eddie boy, I narrow my eyes at him.

'You had best follow Jacob's orders yourself Edward. The only reason you're not in the basement is because of your power.'

Panic fills Edward, and he quickly shuts up. At least one of them is a quick learner. Bella turns to look at me.

"What were you thinking Jasper?" Her lust filled voice sending me for a spin, a welcomed spin at that. Bringing my lips to her ear, not giving a damn that we have an audience, I take her earlobe in my mouth. Feelings of awkwardness filling the audience. To hell with them.

"You'll find out for yourself later darlin' I promise."

My voice is husky, damn it. Why can't I just have my mate right here, right now? It wouldn't take long to get rid of everyone. All I have to do is scare the shit out of them with my power. Sadly though, that is not to happen. Thanks to Carlisle.

"Is there any way to stop Alice without her seeing us coming?" Carlisle can't stop himself clearing his throat afterwards, I can feel him trying to get a handle on his awkward feelings.

Peter answers his question, which surprises me. I didn't think there would be an answer, at least with the exception of the 'no' answer.

"Course there is Doc. C, you're smelling them."

Peter nods towards the pack.

"Crazy ass bitch can't register them with her gift, or so my shit tells me."

Interesting, Bella feels little humours.

"Talk to your shit often Peter?"

I burst out laughing, Peter scowls, feigning hurt.

"You wound me with your words."

Char, Bella and I are still laughing. We soon become serious again however, through the people around us being completely boring and glaring at us.

"Can we focus on stopping Alice?"

I send a sharp look Eddie's way.

"What did I tell you?"

Eddie becomes nervous again, good, he should be.

"Yes, tell us. Just how do you all plan on dealing with the threat to our world?"

When you spin round faster than the speed of light, even for a vampire, it's rather a dizzy experience. Worse for me and my power, picking up the pack's need to throw up. There in front of us stands the three Volturi rulers, the evil twins and Felix. Not to mention some other covens, why they're here I don't know but they are. So we have the rest of the Denali coven, the Irish, the Amazon and the Romanian. Odd. Thought they loathed the Volturi.

Aro's eyes fall onto my mate, causing me to bring her closer.

"Interesting, last time I saw you was through a vision of the threat. Only that time you were dead, and not undead."

I couldn't stop the growl that comes from my chest. Bitch.

"Yes, well. Just goes to show you shouldn't too much stoke in fortune telling."

Snickers came from a few of us, Aro being one of them. Bella turns her attention back to me, and a strange feeling immediately begins to stir within her, one being determination and the other is feelings of heartbreak. Nervousness strikes Peter.

"It'll work Bella. You're the only one that will be able to convince him though."

I look between Peter and Bella, what are they talking about?

"Best way to distract her, lure her to us to be executed."

Bella's eyes refuse to leave mine, and suddenly it all clicks into place.

"No. No way."

"Jasper, it's the only thing that will work."

Bella's pain increases tenfold. A growl comes from my chest again.

"Everyone out." No one moves. "NOW!"

Even the Volturi shoot off at my snarl. I keep my eyes locked on Bella, who looks like she wants to cry.

"I won't do it Bella, I refuse to do anything that will hurt you."

This cheers her up slightly, before she takes my hands in hers.

"I know you wouldn't, but Jasper this maybe the only the way we can stop her."

I rest my forehead against her own. Hating every second of this.

"I love you."

I can practically see the small sad smile on her lips through my closed eyes.

"I love you too."

This is by far the worst idea I've ever had to do. To act like I'm still in love with Alice, not something I thought I'd have to do.

A/N: Originally this was one long chapter, but I decided to break it up in to two. Second part coming soon.
