A blast of water knocked the robe from Aro's hand just as Jasper was about to take hold of it. Jasper looked around, his heart, if it was still beating would have stopped. A girl stood at the edge of the clearing, her right arm raised and her blue eyes furious.

Jasper glanced at Aro, whose face was now gentle, soft and…loving?

"Dearest," Aro greeted softly, his arms extended.

"You told me you weren't going to attack them, you gave me your word!" The girl cried angrily. Aro's arms fell uselessly to his side.

"That's why you sent me to check on those 'things', isn't it? So I wouldn't get in your way of destroying this family!" She snarled. Marcus growled and approached her. The girl held up her hand menacingly, water flying up from the damp ground to settle in her hand, as a warning.

"Don't push it," She growled at him, her already fluttering heart beat increasing in speed. Koby flitted to her side.

"Dearest, you know how much young Jasper would mean to us," Aro said gently. The girl snarled furiously. Jasper gave a faint smile; nothing seemed to have changed with her.

"So you want to take him away from his family, you'll make him absolutely miserable if you do that!" She cried. "What good would Jasper be to you if he was miserable? Look at him! He's already mentally broken!" The rest of the Volturi seemed stunned, Aro was just smiling pleasantly.

"Now, now, Dearest, I know that you have a past history with this family, but don't let that interfere." Aro said gently. She hissed at him, but quickly walked forward, raising her hand, Koby shadowed her. Aro took her hand and closed his eyes partly.

"Ah, good point you make there, dearest one." He sighed. She withdrew her hand and stood back with Koby.

"And how much would this hurt Alice if you took him?" She asked quietly. Aro's eyes were pained as he thought of that outcome. Aro shook his head, his milky eyes thoughtful.

"Brothers," Aro called. Marcus, Caius, Felix, Demetri, Alex and Jane circled him. Aro murmured to his followers, who were now conversing in low voices. Edward stared at the small, threatening girl with the fierce blue eyes and the shoulder length dark, which almost looked like a darkish blue, curls. She glanced up, meeting his gaze, she offered a sad smile, and Edward nodded his thanks as he hugged Bella closer. Aro sighed and stood back from the circle.

"Brothers, I cannot do this today," Aro sighed. There was a sigh of relief from the Cullen's and the wolves. There were hisses from the members of the Volturi. Aro looked at Jasper, his gaze longing.

"Another time, dear Jasper, we'll let Alice recover and be happy for now, and let you recover also; we don't want a broken vampire." Aro said before turning around. Jasper inclined his head, turning around and encasing Alice in his arms. Aro turned and looked at the fierce girl. He put his hands on her shoulders and looked down at her concerned.

"Come back to Volterra when you're ready, dearest," He said softly, kissing both her cheeks. The rest of the Volturi filed out into the forest, away from the Cullen's.

"Koby, go back to the Volturi, I'll be back soon," She murmured gently. Koby hugged her and glided away. She nodded at the Cullen's before running off into the opposite direction of the Volturi. Edward sighed.

"She's a girl we used to know," Edward answered an unasked question. "She's been wanted by the Volturi since they've heard of her existence." Jasper exhaled, turning around to look at his family. Alice stared up at him, her eyes accusing.

"You were going to go with them," She said, looking down to the discarded, soaking wet cloak on the ground. Jasper sighed and nodded.

"I don't want to be the reason for all of you being killed." A gasp of pain came from inside the house.

"Charlie," Bella breathed, running into the house, followed by Carlisle, Esme, Edward and Jacob. Rosalie and Emmett walked into the house. Seth, Leah and the wolf pack slowly walked back to La Push. Alice cupped Jasper's cheek in her hand before running into the house. Jasper sighed, inhaling deeply. He walked to the edge of the forest and sat down on a log. He sat there a little while, thinking deeply. Jasper startled when he heard the sound of a stick snapping, but smiled as he heard the sound of a racing heart and the familiar scent.

"Hi, Jasper." A soft voice came from behind him.

"Hi, Kelsey." He replied. She sat beside him and sighed. Jasper looked up at her and smiled. Her blue eyes were sparkling with concern as she stared at him. She sighed and raised her hand, playing with the water that flew up to meet it. Jasper laughed.

"You still have that connection with water, I see," He said. She smiled,

"Of course, hence my name…my mother's name." She murmured sadly. Jasper rubbed her back.

"So, you and Koby?" Jasper asked. Kelsey sighed and nodded.

"Yes," She answered shortly. Jasper gave a small cough.

"Did you notice how much…"

"How much he looks like you?" She interrupted. Jasper nodded.

"Well, yes." He answered. Kelsey laughed and looked at Jasper.

"It's different, Jazz, you're like a brother to me…Koby is more." She answered lightly. Jasper hesitated slightly, wanting to ask a question but not sure how to put it.

"The fear will disappear in time," Kelsey answered darkly, looking at him worriedly.

"How did you know?" Jasper asked.

"Well other then the fact that I know everyone's fears and yours is much more prominent at the moment because you deeply fear Aro returning because he's broken you so badly." She answered. Jasper nodded and sighed.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there when he took you or when he even had you at Volterra…Koby was there when they took you, it was the only way they could get you." She murmured. Jasper looked at her.

"Where were you?" He asked. She sighed, looking down at the ground, releasing the water from her hand.

"I was in Michigan, getting rid of a vampire who was exposing our existence." She said quietly.

"I arrived back the day you escaped…damn, Aro was mad that day." She laughed. Jasper smiled faintly.

"What is the deal with Aro and you anyway?" Jasper asked. Kelsey gave a bitter laugh.

"He is very paternal of me…" Was all she said.

"Jasper?" Someone called from the house. Kelsey smiled and stood up.

"I have to go," She said softly, Jasper frowned.

"I'll see you soon, Jazz." She promised, hugging him. Jasper stiffened. She sighed.

"Not in Volterra."

Jasper looked up at her.

"Kelsey, how long until the fear disappears?" He called after her. She turned and looked at him.

"As long as it takes." She answered before running off into the woods. Jasper sighed and walked back towards the house. It was going to be a long road to recovery.

End…

Okay, I know that was a short chapter but I plan to write a different story about Kelsey and her history and her connection with the Cullens, it'll go from her past, present, flash back sort of things and then past this story into the near future if that makes sense.

Anyway, read and review
