****************************************************************************************************************A/N: Hahaa sorry, I had to leave you and that small cliffhanger last time. Loads of you wanted to know why Alice never saw this coming, this is because Alice's visions change as the decision is made so until Aurora made the decision to take Bella back Alice never saw that she'd turn up. Hope you enjoy this chapter. Please read and review (:

Chapter Two - Blast From The Past
Aurora's POV
It's not him. It's not him. It's not him. It can't be him.
I kept repeating this as my eyes stayed locked on his. It couldn't be him.
Please don't tell me the rest of my past were damn vampires! I thought back to my meeting with long lost sister Maria. The one that changed me.
Instead of getting kidnapped she was turned- destined to live for eternity in a stone body, never aging, never changing...
I snapped myself out of my reverie and took a deep breathe, the first one since he'd spoke my name.
Edward chuckled and I broke off eye contact to stare at him.
"What a small world..." he said and my eyes locked on Jasper's again.
"Yes it is." I spoke quietly with a bitter tone. Jasper's grip on the little pixie Alice increased and I racked through his brain picking out memories.
Edward, what is going on?
I turned my head towards where the thoughts came from, The Doctor.
"I can hear your thoughts too Carlilse." I snapped and he looked intently at me.
"I assume you are with the Volturi, what would they want with Jasper?" he asked me.
"They don't want Jasper, it's purely personal." I spoke and my hands balled into fists. Carlilse just nodded sternly and rubbed Esme's arm.
I kept my face blank and free from emotion refusing to give anything away, and focused on blocking Edward out of my head. What had turned into a mission had brought up skeletons from my past. Skeletons belonged in closets.
"Can we talk Aurora?" Jasper asked stepping towards me. I stayed rigid in my spot.
"About what Jasper?" I said fiercely.
"The past...catch up-"
"There is nothing we need to discuss."
"I think there is Rory." he said trying to charm me by using my old nickname.
Well this old dog has learned a few new tricks...
"Rory is gone! Don't try to make me mellow Jaz, I always wondered why you could mess with my emotions and I can see that clearly it is your gift" I turned to look around and noticed that his family had left.
"Rory please can we just talk?" he asked. Talking? Nothing else. I walked around him and took a seat on the couch. He looked just the same in physical build but he was covered in cresent shaped scars.
There's only one thing that left a scar.
Vampire Venom
I felt my own scar on my wrist and Jasper gave me the same lazy smile. I was not going to put up with his charms, I averted my gaze and looked at a ruby vase that stood on the mantelpiece. It reminded me of Aro's eyes and in that moment I wished Aro was here.
I was shocked by this, of course I loved him but I was just sex to him. I had accepted that a long time ago.
I just wanted to leave, to run away and burn ever meeting Jasper again from my brain for good.
"If you want to talk then talk." I said folding my hands on my lap, Jasper sat beside me on the couch.
"So you're a vampire." he started.
"Talk about perceptive, well done Jazzy now you don't need a trip to the opticians." I smiled sarcasticly and he frowned slightly.
"Why do you hate me Rory?" he said quietly. "I can sense alot of shock, hate and stubborness off of you."
"You broke your damn promise, you left me, you made me this." I said gesturing to my body, if I could of I would have been crying by now, buckets of salt water tears.
"I'm so sorry I broke my promise to you but I did not turn you." he said seriously and I laughed. Jasper looked at me as if I was insane.
"No Jasper, your teeth didn't cut my skin and your venom didn't burn my veins but I got like this searching for you!" I yelled. The night of my transformation came back into my head and the pain ran through my body like it was happening all over again.
"What do you mean? Aurora please tell me you are scared and in a great deal of pain right now! TELL ME!" Jasper ordered, he gripped hold of my shoulders and I felt his hands dig into my back.
"You want to know my story?" I scoffed. "How I became this."
"Please tell me." he realesed me and leaned back away from me, his eyes never left my face. I inhaled a shaky breath and pulled out the horrors of a differnt Aurora that I kept hidden in the back of the mind. That night sweet little Aurora the good girl died and Aurora the bitch from hell was born.
"It's much better if I show you." I said in a whisper raising my hand to his face, it started to shake. He nodded once and I placed my palm to his cheek, his eyes closed as he concentrated on the memory that I played in his mind.

I took the small slip of paper out of my pocket and examined the writting on it again, the date of Jasper's death was on it. I inhaled a shaky breath slowly and exhaled once more gripping the ring that hung around my neck.
My engagement ring.
I refused to believe he was gone, after all they never found a body just his belongings left at camp. I looked over the rooftops into the sunset as always and tears slid down my cheeks, before I knew it I was sobbing hard. I pulled my knees up to my chin and fought to breathe as the pain coarsed through my body running through my vains giving out a constant supply.
I still came here every sunset to our place to search for him, he promised he'd never leave me and Jazzy never broke his promises.
"I miss you Jasper, please if your out there...please come home" I pressed my head into my knees and shook as the sobs racked my body, I started to shake more madly by the second.
What was life without him? Nothing. The skip from my step was gone and the sparkle from my blue eyes was definately lost. I wasn't Aurora anymore.
I was hollow.
I wished to see his lazy smile once more and for his strong arms to hold me once again. I'd never feel his magnificent kisses or hear his bad jokes.
I was alone.
My heart ached as it continued to beat hard against my ribcage and I struggled to get oxygen to my brain. I replayed his beautiful face and voice in my head, I was too terrifed to forget it. I never wanted to forget my soldier, I always wanted him with me. I pulled the notes our of my pocket and his picture running my fingers over his writing and his angels face.
'I love you.'
His words popped out from the page and I put them away quickly to stop my tears smudging the ink, these were sacred. They needed to be kept safe, after all it was all I had left of him. No matter how much I loved him deep down I hated him.
He broke his promise, he had broken his promise. The reality of the situation finally hit me like a tonne of bricks. I looked down to his picture that I held in my hand but it was too dark now, I couldn't see his face.
I heard faint footsteps from behind me and my heart sped up. He came back, I knew he never broke his promises. Why did I ever doubt him? He was here. He heard my cries, he loved me and he was here.
I turned around and stared at the ladder as I saw the light. I smiled and lept off the roof running towards him.
"Jasper I knew you'd never leave me." I cried waiting for him to make the final step.
"Aurora are you still up here? It's getting late shouldn't you be home?" I heard an old voice call, it was the blacksmith.
Dissapointment flooded through me and I bit down hard on my lips to stop the cries of anguish from escaping.
"Sorry Mr Felix." I whispered closing my eyes, when I opened them, the light filled his face and I could see the worry and pity in his eyes even though he gave me a small smile.
"Come on down, your father is going to be getting worried. I'll escort you home." he said in a friendly tone.
"I'm ok thank-you Mr Felix, I need to be alone with my thoughts, I'll be fine on my own." I flashed him a smile.
"If you're sure, don't worry 'lil darling everything with be fine in time." he said at me and I gave a feeble nod.
I walked through the darkened tracks back home thinking about him as always. All my thoughts were about him. I walked slowly holding tight to my ring when I passed the pub. Normally, I payed no attention to these buildings but a sign outside caught my attention.
"We Are Please To Welcome The Confederate Army."
My heart started to beat faster in my chest and I walked closer to the door. I reached my hand out to open it and then retreated, I did this four times and then the door opened. Out stumbled four drunken soldiers.
I recognised them.
Henry, David, John, William and Monty.
They knew Jasper! I'd seen them at a party Jasper had taken me to once and I smiled, maybe they knew what happened to him.
"Henry?" I asked to the largest man in front.
"Why hello 'lil darling." he smiled broadly and the three men behind him came closer.
"Do you remember me?" I asked him. He tried to rack his brains and then he tutted and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but i've been to that many cathouses and had that many cats that I don't really remember faces but arn't you a sight for sore eyes." he slurred and I put my hand to my head and sighed.
"No, i'm Aurora, Jasper's fiancee." I informed and then he smiled.
"So you are...Look...look Will it's Jasper's girl." he laughed and they all came closer again, I took a step back.
"No need to look worried, we'd never hurt Jasper's gal." Monty smiled and then winked at me.
"Well Jasper 'aint 'ere Monty, he died." William laughed and I stared at him in disbelief, was this guy seriously laughing over the love of my life being dead?
"I'm sorry blondie-" William started.
"Aurora" I corrected.
"Ok, Aurora, but isn't it a bit rude and 'all to be coming onto your dead guy's friends?" he mocked and I shook my head.
"I just wanted to know if he had a message for me or something." I said politely still shaking my head.
"Oh good 'ol Major Whitlock had a message for you all right 'purty." Henry sang.
"He did?..W-W-What was it?" I asked eager, I leaned towards the leader and he gave me a grubby smile.
"He wanted to give you one last 'smacker." he said and with that he lunged at me, I moved backwards and he followed me.
"Don't be like that." he chided and continued to stalk towards me, the others followed laughing and hooting like a pack of wild animals.
My heart was beating fast in my chest.
"I want to go now." I said authoritively trying to move but his big hand snaked around my waist pulling me closer to his alcohol filled body. "Please just let me go!" I continued to beg.
"Come on guys, you're missing out on all the fun." He smirked eviliy before pressing me up against wall we were now faced with.
"Please..." I begged again crying now. I felt one of then run a hand up my leg, I closed my eyes and shook my head violently. With that a palm slapped across my face and I was left stunned. Before I had time to react another blow connected to my face, this time a punch and I was now on the floor in pain. Through the ache in my jaw I felt iron graps pinning me to the floor. I looked up at Henry who stood there lighting a cigerette in his mouth, he turned to look at me and smiled.
"I bet you got a nice body under all of 'at" he spoke gesturing to my clothes. Horror washed over me like the dissapointment earlier as I realised what they wanted. I tried to scream but a hand clamped over my mouth.
"Scream and it'll hurt more got it?" Henry said blowing his disgusting breath in my face. I watched him as he put his cigerrette in his mouth and unzipped his pants...
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
"I'll spare you the rest." I whispered as I pulled my hand away from his face, his eyes stayed closed for a moment and when they opened they were black hard stones.
"MY FRIENDS?! MY FELLOW SOLDIERS?!" Jasper roared smashing the vase on the mantel piece and the chair in his way.
"Techniqually you need to be human to be a soldier, they were animals." I said leaning back and pulling my arms across my chest in a protective manor. I looked around the room and noticed that the rest of the Cullen's had returned.
"I had a vision of Jaz smashing up the house." Little Alice sang and I cringed.
"I'M GOING TO KILL THEM!!" he roared smashing the coffee table.
"That's going to be difficult considering that they are all dead already." I stated and Alice fluttered to Jasper's side.
"Jaz, honey? Please calm down." she soothed rubbing his back, I stared into space.
"We have quite alot in common Rosalie?" I said still staring off.
"Excuse me?" she asked, I turned to face her.
"Our last moments of being human." I told her.
"How did you?..."she started, she looked hurt yet comforted at the same time, everyone looked to Carlilse.
"Intriguing, you a member of the Volturi Guard." Carlilse stated leaning towards me.
"Yes I am." I replied.
"So that means you have a gift, as each member is chosen specifically for their gifts, physical or otherwise." Carlilse contined nodding.
"That is correct." I sighed.
"What is your gift?" he asked and I noticed that everyone had turned to look at me, including Jasper whose eyes remained black.
"Mind control." I said quietly and Edward looked at Carlilse.
"That explains the mind reading." he said and Carilse came and sat beside me.
"What does that entitle?" he asked.
"Well, I can tap into a person's mind, their memories. Now that I have penertrated all of your minds they are at my disposal, so I would be able to your gifts etc. I pretty much have full control over a person's mind. Tell them what to do...as I said just full control." I said slowly. Carlilse stared at me wide eyed and I felt like some exhibition at a museum.
"Wow that's cool!" Emmett exclaimed and Rosalie smacked him upside the head, I just gave him a small nod.
"I need to get going." I said standing up, everyone moved with me. Talk about a blast from my past.
"We still have so much to discuss Aurora won't you stay for a while?" Jasper asked, his eyes were returning to gold.
"I'd love to see what you can do with your amazing gift." Carlilse interjected.
"I need a new shopping partner!" Alice exclaimed and I stood there grimacing.
"I need to make a few calls." I said politely biting down on my lip.
"Yay! Shopping tomorrow!" Alice giggled and I gave her a small smile.
Time to talk to Aro.
