When I woke in the morning and felt a pair of strong, cold arms wrapped around me, I gasped. I jumped back, not remembering I was on the edge of the bed. Clamping my eyes shut I waited for the impact of me hitting the floor, but all I felt were two granite arms around me again.

When I opened my eyes I was sat back on the bed, Jasper sitting about a foot away from me. I looked at his eyes, concern and guilt filling them.

"Bella darlin' are you alright? I didn't mean to scare you." He broke eye contact and hung his head in shame.

I slowly reached across and placed my finger under his chin, knowing that no matter how much force I used I wouldn't be able to make Jasper budge. Jasper obeyed my silent request but still avoided eye contact.

"It's not your fault Jasper. You just startled me that's all. Knowing me I probably would've fallen off the bed anyway."

I swear I heard jasper chuckle as he caught my eye. Without warning he pulled me into a huge hug, pressing his lips right up against my neck. I hugged him back, enthusiastically, not fazed by the closeness of his teeth.

"What would you do if I bit you now Bella?" he whispered against my neck.

"I would hope and pray that you stopped in time, but I know you wouldn't bite me anyway, you have enough control. And anyway, you would have an angry pack of wolves after you for biting me and breaking the treaty." I decided to drop that bombshell on him and see what his reaction would be.

Jasper froze next to me.

"You know about the wolves?"

"Of course! The wolves are my best friends! Any human that knows the secret becomes an honorary member of the pack."

Jasper let out an exasperated sigh. "So the vampires leave town and you become friends with the next mythical creatures you find? Only you Bella, only you."

I smiled sheepishly as he moved his lips away from my neck. My stomach growled loudly causing Jasper to give me a questioning look.

"Breakfast time for the human?"

"I guess so I sighed." unwilling to move away from Jaspers arms. "Just let me take a shower and get dressed."

Jasper released me from his grip. As I stood I wobbled slightly, losing my balance. Jasper steadied me with a grin on his face.

"I'll wait downstairs Bella."

Within a second he was gone.

I showered and dressed quickly, eager to see Jasper again. This confused me. We were never close before so why was I suddenly so nervous away from his presence?

I found Jasper in the kitchen, attempting to fry an egg by the look of it. There were egg shells littering the counter, with discarded cartons everywhere.

Liking the fact that I had found one thing a vampire couldn't do I sat down at the table, watching Jasper carefully.

After much laughing from me and irritated grumbling from Jasper, I stood up to go and help.

I pushed him out of the way and not five minutes later I was sat at the table. Jasper made me some toast, one thing he could do, and watched me eat. He seemed fascinated by it.

"Do you like watching me eat?" I asked warily.

"Sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable it's just…I find it fascinating."

I smiled at him. "Don't worry about it."

Once I had finished eating and had washed up my plate, I sat back down at the table.

Jasper had his chin resting on his hands and his eyes closed. He looked deep in thought so I didn't want to disturb him.

For a few minutes I just sat and studied his features, the way his golden curls fell down his face, every curve of his pale skin. That's when I noticed the scars. They littered his face, neck and hands. I guessed that they continued up his arms aswell as these were covered by his ripped, dirty, long-sleeved shirt.

I cautiously raised my hand to trace one of the scars along Jasper's cheekbone. It was the same shape as the one on my hand, from James.

At the contact, Jasper's eyes fluttered open. He met my gaze as I continued to trace the delicate curves. Jasper closed his eyes again and leaned into my touch. This seemed to calm him so I carried on.

Once I had traced all the scars on his face I took one of his hands into my own, ghosting my fingers over the scars there.

Once both hands were done I looked up at Jasper. He was watching me, a wary expression on his face.

"Do you want to hear my story?" he asked quietly.

I smiled happily. "I'd love to Jasper."

He smiled weakly. Before I knew it Jasper had picked me up and was carrying me upstairs.

He sat me, cross legged, on the bed. He then sat in front of me, mirroring my position.

I shuffled forwards so our legs were touching and took his hands in my own.

"Jasper." I whispered. "Just remember, I'm not going to judge you on what happened in the past."

He looked me deeply in the eye, as if not believing my emotions enough. Once he saw that I was telling the truth he spoke.

"I knew you would say that Bella, but remember, it isn't all smiles and happy ever afters."

I laughed weakly. "I guessed that."

Jasper smiled one last time before he told me. He told me everything he remembered of his human life, the change, Maria, the wars, his struggle with his gift. Tears rolled down my cheeks at the pain he went through, it was evident in the way his eyes scrunched up and how he whispered his words, that this part of Jasper's life would haunt him forever. As if a perfect vampire memory wasn't enough, Jasper had the scars to remind him aswell.

The tears were flowing freely as Jasper spoke of meeting Alice in the diner. She had hurt him beyond belief with her betrayal.

As jasper fell silent he opened his eyes, watching me carefully. He probably expected me to go running and screaming out of the house. I didn't though. I wasn't afraid of Jasper.

Taking my silence the wrong way, Jasper stood up, preparing to leave.

Before he could go I grabbed his arm, pulling him into my arms. We sat, me with my back against the headboard, Jasper next to me with his head on my shoulder. As I ran my fingers gently through his hair, Jasper began to relax.

I had found yet another thing that calmed him.

We sat like that for a while before Jasper wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"Thank you Bella." He whispered into my hair.

"You have nothing to thank me for." I replied.

"Bella you just sat and listened to me talk about killing innocent people. I'm sure you would've much rather spent your morning doing something other than that."

"The only other thing I would've wanted to do would be talk to you." I answered honestly.

"Well you didn't run screaming. That's another thing I could thank you for." He said quietly.

I pulled away to hold Jasper's face in my hands. "Jasper Aden Whitlock. You listen to me right now okay? That is not the same person you are now. You are a good man and to be perfectly honest Alice was stupid to get rid of you."

Pain flashed across his features.

"Bella. The scars. They make me ugly. I can feel the disgust rolling off of you and you haven't even seen the extent of it!"

I gasped, realising why Jasper was acting this way.

"You think I'm disgusted with you!"

"Well who else?" he asked, confused.

"Silly, silly Jasper! I'm disgusted with Maria! How could she put you through all that? It just makes me so angry. Alice aswell. How could she treat someone as amazing as you like that? And the scars, they don't make you ugly Jasper. If anything they make you more beautiful."

The next thing I knew I was in Jasper's arms again. I smiled happily at the grin on his face. He looked truly happy. If it weren't for the glow on is skin, right now Jasper could pass as human!

"My sweet, little, selfless Bella. You will never cease to amaze me!"

In that moment there I was happier than I had been in months. He said 'my Bella', he said I was his.

"My sweet, little, selfless Bella. You will never cease to amaze me!"

She really was amazing. Bella had shown m the support in ten minutes that my own family had not been able to give me in decades. Alice had despised my scars. She thought I would never be able to concentrate on the present because of the constant reminder of my past.

"Jasper?" a small voice asked.

"Yes Bella?" I looked down at the angel in my arms.

"is it…can I…do you mind if…please can I go and see Jake?" she was embarrassed and nervous for my answer.

Why would she ask me like that?

"Bella. I'm not Edward. You can do what you like darlin'. You don't need to ask permission! Do you want me to give you a lift down there?"

"Are you sure Jasper? Are you really letting me go?"

"Of course it is darlin'." Damn Edward must have been pretty tough on her for her to ask like that. Then again all the Cullens seemed to want to wrap her in bubble wrap.

"Your right, they did." Bella whispered.

"Sorry Bella. What did you say?"

"I said your right. They did wan to wrap me in bubble wrap." She replied quietly.

I didn't say that out loud! Bella must have somehow read my mind! That could only mean one thing. We were mates.

I couldn't say anything to her. Not yet. I didn't want Bella to feel forced into anything. If she was going to love me she should do it in her own time.

Bella was down at La Push now. I had been given permission to go and drop Bella off and pick her up as well if it was needed.

I was now sat on the couch at the Cullen house, wondering what to do.

For the past month all I had done was run. Since I arrived in Forks my time had been spent with Bella.

I could hunt. I didn't want to end up killing one of Bella's friends. I knew there was not way on earth that I would ever harm Bella so she was safe.

A hunt it was then.

I ran and just let my instincts take over. After draining two mountain lions I decided to head home. That's when I smelt it. It was a familiar scent that I just couldn't put my finger on.

When I saw the flash of red I realised.

Victoria.
