When Edward came back, on the 18th February, Jasper was forced to leave the company of his own brother. The man he loved as his own brother.

The memory still made him—a grown vampire—shudder with revulsion. Once, he had met Jane of the Volturi. Twice, she had used her peculiar power on him. And he decided, then and there, that if he was ever forced to choose between the agonies that little Jane could invoke, and the pain of Bella's loss, he would take his chances with Jane every single time.

It was hard to place, this feeling. Though it should not have been physically painful to him, it was. It ached like the sharp jab of a leaden bullet through soft human flesh (And yes, he had felt that.) It stung like the bitter crack of a whip. It rivalled even the fire that burned in the bodies of bitten humans, after encountering a Vampire.

As Jasper ran through Canada, his hand in Alice's, he realised that he had no idea how his brother lived with that kind of pain.
