Harmony's POV

Jasper was so far against it, it was hilarious. He threw a fit, just like Alec had done. The only difference is, he didn't attack anyone. He went on about how he knew them for who knows how many years, I wasn't paying attention, and that there was no changing there behavior. Then he went into how it was two dangerous for me, despite my protection from the elements. Edward and Alice took care of him.

I knelt down in front of Alec. He's not ready to let this go.

"If I let you go, will you attack me again?" I asked.

Alec whimpered, 'Don't say it like that'.

"Well it's what you did," I told him.

He whimpered again, 'I won't. I want to talk to you in human form'.

Confused, I released him. He wondered away and I stood.

"You shouldn't have let him go," Jasper smirked at me from between Alice and Edward.

"Why?" I was totally confused.

But he just kept on smirking and Alec walked back into the clearing. I straightened and the feeling of respect and the need to please came back.

Alec smiled at me, "Alexander," I smile back.

"You prefer me in wolf form?" Alec asked.

I shook my head, "Both is fine with me, sir."

He tilted his head to the side, curiously, "Now about you leaving," He took a step forward, "Will you listen to me?"

"Of course, sir," I nod, not helping myself.

He took another step forward, "I don't want you going."

"But, sir," He held up a hand to stop me, taking another step.

"You said you would listen to me," He looked a little hurt.

I felt bad, "I'm sorry, sir, please continue."

He smiled again, but this time, it was more of a smirk, "I know how well you are protected," He shook his head, "But things happen. Your right, people, even Vampires can change. So can you."

"What are you talking about?" I asked, totally confused.

Alexander just shook his head.

There's more too what he's saying. He's had thing happen. Had loss.

"Look, your just going to have to trust me," I said, confidently.

"Trust you?" Emmett asked, "We are trusting you. Why are we? We don't know her."

"You know Spirit," I shot back, "You trust it."

Clear confusion was written all over Emmett's face. Yeah, it takes awhile to stomach all this.

"I trust you," Alexander said, "I trust Spirit. But your not going."

"But Alexander," I tried to reason with him.

"Your not going and that's final," Alexander said sternly.

I looked down and there was pure silence.

"Okay," I answered.

"What?" Emmett asked.

"Why are you giving in to him so easily, Harmony?" Carlisle asked.

"Your so confident about this," Esme said.

"Don't listen to that mutt," Rosalie said.

"He's the loan wolf," I answered, defeated, not looking at anyone.

What was this? I could not defy Alexandria, but I want to do this. I can do this. What was I suppose to do? I looked to Spirit, but nothing.

Jasper's POV

Harmony's emotions were confident and understanding before Alexander came back from the woods. She was terribly guilty about fighting with him, but he had thrown the first punch, so to speak. Then when Alexander returned, it got all mixed. Her need to prove herself to him got mixed up with her confidence and eventually, the need was over powering.

Now, though, with the confidence all wounded, it was beginning to have an effect on her emotions. Making her a little depressed. Normally, even for her, this wasn't a big deal, but with the elements attached to her and apparently her emotions, this was a problem.

The wind was blowing in a very nasty way around us and heat was being mixed up in it.

I'm all on Alexander's side here. I don't want Harmony any where near those Newborns, even if we weren't close.

Because of Spirit, I could feel she knew just as much about the little devils as I do. She could handle herself with them, but it was just all too dangerous. Plus her plan would not work. Newborns don't think straight. This was a waste of time and pointless.

We had less then three nights before the attack. Harmony needed to do this, that was clearly riding from her. But this was pointless... Nothing would change Alexander's mind... Unless someone went with her. But none of us could go. None of us, except maybe me.

I knew the Newborns, just like she does. I could keep out of sight from them at the same time keeping an eye on Harmony. I could make sure she wasn't changing in the ways Alexander feared. Both of them were stupid. There feelings for each other were so clear. But then again, Edward, my Alice, and I were the only ones who could tell this. Not even Carlisle could tell this.

"Alexander," I spoke up.

The others were getting reasless by the weather change. Harmony was out of it, washed in her own confusion and sorrow. There was hint of pride at pleasing Alexander in this. She was listening to everything we were saying, though. Am I correct, Edward? I to my brother.

He nodded. He was relaxed now, liking my plan.

"Yes, Jasper," Alexander addressed me.

"With yours, Harmony's, Alice's, and my parents permission, I would like to accompany Harmony to Seattle," Jasper said, "I'm sure this will calm your fear."

Hope lit up in Harmony like a chrismass tree, I almost smiled. She did. Looks like, now, Alexander won't be the only one to make her smile.

"You were just against her going?" Rosalie said, "Now you want to go with her?"

"It's pointless, her plan," I explained, "But she wants to do this. Right now her happiness is important. The heated wind is proof of that. Plus, if Carlisle can't help her, she may need all the happiness she can get."

Embracement was shinning off of Harmony now. These, 'compliments' were new to her.

"What good would you do?" Alexander asked, "Why would this 'calm' me?"

"Well I know the Newborns, plus Victoria knows the others too much. The pack members can't leave and neither can you. You know that," I told him, "That's why your here."

Alexander looked away. He couldn't be a lone wolf for so long. The need to be with a pack, kicks in. No matter how long he lives.

"You trust me for this?" I asked, even though I knew the answer.

Alexander looked at me, truth in his eyes, "Yes."

"So we can go?" Harmony asked, hopefully, looking up at Alexander with big puppy dog-like eyes.

"But I thought you were suppose to be training us?" Emmett asked.

Hadn't thought about that. I looked at Edward, Can you handle this? I can give you all the information you need. Edward nodded.

"I can take over," Edward said.

I turned to the love of my life, "My dear?"

Alice smiled at me as me as she came to me, "I can't see this journey of yours and Harmony. Not when she's around anyway. I trust you to be able to do this. You have to do this, don't you?"

I nodded to her, showing her all the love I have for her.

"Your right. Harmony needs to do this as well," Alice sighed, "I'm just going to miss you."

"Carlisle?" I heard Harmony ask, even if Alice and I were caught up in a love stare, "Esme?"

"Of course he can go," Carlisle said, "He'll keep a good eye on you."

Jacob barked loudly, causing Alice and I to break apart.

"That is something to look at," Edward said, "Tell Sam thank you for his input."

Jacob growled. He didn't like this.

"What if Harmony's cancer gets worse?" Edward said.

Jacob growled.

"We are not attracted in by her blood scent, Jacob," Edward snapped, "Unless the blood is drawn."

Jacob growled more light, as he looked away.

"Sam's right, Carlisle," Esme said, "What if her cancer worsens when Jasper is not there to help?"

"I will be close enough to hear what's going on," I reassured my parents, "As for if it gets worse, I will be able to act quickly and bring her back here."

"Awwww," Harmony complained loudly, "No fair," She huffed, "Stupid cancer."

We all chuckled at her child-like behavior.

"Harmony," Esme smiled, "You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your cancer."

"Good point," Harmony nodded.

"So it's settled," I nodded, "We leave at dawn."
