A/N: Another chapter for you guys! Told you was already writing chapter 5 when I posted 4. Now I'm always working on Chapter 6 but that one is probably going a much longer chapter a lot is going happen and you'll figure out why in this chapter so bear with me!

Krystal214: Now you know I can't answer that, but you if recall Peter was instructed by Jasper to investigate any vampire anomalies, and whatever it is Peter found is an anomaly that's all I'll say on the matter ;)

Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own Twilight or I'd be a hell of a lot richer by now.

"It would appear Isabella Swan died last week on her way to her university, such a tragedy." Aro read from one of his guards who had passed through Forks on his way to dispatch a rogue vampire, one whom he found had already been slain.

"It appears the Cullen's have heeded your decree and intend to change Isabella." Caius noted. Aro smiled,

"It would seem so, but with this new development I do wonder who will snatch up Isabella for their own." Aro looked at the couple he'd recently invited. Edward and Alice hadn't exactly betrayed Isabella, but Aro was certain without a mate she would easily find her way to Volterra, but the question was, what to do with Edward and Alice. They were both extremely gifted and would be a lovely addition to his growing collections but devising a plan to slowly collect all the Cullen "children" was a slow process. If he could have Edward, Alice, Isabella, and if by chance Jasper, then he was sure his and his brother's reign would be set. His thoughts ventured to the last of the Cullen's, Rosalie's beauty could be useful and Emmett's steer size and strength, yes if he could acquire the rest of them…what a thought.

"It was quite a development that your mate had been under your nose along Edward…you could have spared yourself and Isabella, but at least you're in the right place now, yes?" Edward kept the calm composure but underneath it still bothered him that he'd let Bella be hurt, and in turn his own brother Jasper when he finally discovered Alice.

"It was Aro, but perhaps the future has yet to be seen." Aro smiled at Alice,

"Yes, how is the future dear Alice?" Alice smiled and took a quick peak, but she found nothing of interest, too many people were making different decisions and changing their minds.

"Unfortunately Aro, so many are making and changing decisions I can't just focus on one." It wasn't a lie, and it allowed them to buy some time. Edward and Alice only came to appease Aro, not out of want.

"Ah well, it happens doesn't it?" Alice smiled and nodded her head. Edward took her smaller hand in his own.

"We should take our leave Aro, we want to travel for a little and discover ourselves as a couple." Edward's statement made it clear they were not ready to settle down in any one place.

"Of course, of course, but I'd like to extend an open invitation to join our little family, we'd be honored to have you." Edward nodded and smiled,

"Thank you for your generous offer."

Bella slept soundly through following days, and when Jasper called on her for a walk in the garden; she sure she was glowing. Jasper was easy to talk to, they would spend the nights talking about everything and nothing, what the future would be like, how his past and hers compared, thought growing up during the civil war was vastly different from hers. But he was still fascinated at her somewhat normal childhood. She was still unaware the date her father had set for her…funeral. Truly she didn't want to know either so when Jasper asked her if she would accompany him to Alaska to look at their new home Bella was more than ready to leave Forks.

Carlisle had noticed a change in Jasper and Bella, Japer had seemed so different now that he had returned from…wherever he had gone and it was like seeing the true Bella for the first time. She hadn't had the sparkle she had in her eyes when she was with Edward. Something that at the time he had over looked as just her way of coping with the supernatural, but now to see her eyes light up and for her glow when Jasper was around, he wonder if the two even knew they had such a profound effect on each other.

"Well we're ready to take off, we'll see you guys soon enough." Jasper had the last of Bella's all of six boxes she needed, he couldn't help but compare her to Alice who couldn't travel without at least a small truck full of stuff. Bella's boxes fit nicely in the back of his truck with room still for his few things and some of items they would need. Bella went around giving her love and hugs to everyone saying the normal see you soon and I'll miss you.

"Be safe driving Jasper! No speeding!" Esme called after they had settle in the truck, Jasper turned to Bella with a grin on his face,

"Yes?" She matched his grin with a smirk and tossed back her hair

"Yes!" They peeled out of the drive way much to Esme's dislike, Jasper heard curse at him, and Carlisle laugh and pull her back inside. Saying they were like two college kids hitting freedom for the first time.

Bella and Jasper had decided to make the trip taking their time, traveling through towns and exploring, like a much needed road trip, it wasn't like they had anywhere to be. It made Bella realize for the first time there wasn't a schedule to keep, school to worry about or a parent who had to be lied to.

Oh Charlie, I'm so sorry… For the first time she questioned her choices…there was no going back, but she hoped Charlie would be happy once again, preferably with Sue Clearwater who Bella had noticed in the months before her departure had been coming around quite often.

"What's on your mind Darlin'" Jasper snapped her out of her musings, she of course told him her thoughts, and waited for his response.

"It's okay to think like that, no one; especially me, will judge you for it." Bella smiled at him, touching his hand from across the seat.

"Thank you Jazz." He always felt warm to her, Bella always wondered why…Edward never felt warm to her he was always so cold…but Jasper…Jasper felt like he had blood flowing and his heart pounding, soft to the touch. She needed answers.

"One more thing Jasper," She started, Jasper nodded while turning onto a different road,

"Sure Suga,"

"You always feel so warm to me, why is that? Everyone else is so cold, so hard, yet you, you're warm to the touch, soft even." She looked straight at him gauging his reaction.

You have nowhere to hide now, tell her the truth

He had to agree, there was no way to deny the truth now…he'd only recently discovered it himself, Alice had never felt warm to him, but he had never heard of mates being warm to only each other, but then again, no one had felt the need to question them about it. Rose and Emmett, Carlisle and Esme, they hadn't mentioned it. It was Peter and Charlotte who informed him that mates felt warm to each other where other vampires felt cold.

He sighed and pulled over into a diner parking lot. They were just outside of their chosen new home but he'd been deliberately taking it slow in case Bella wanted to stop and look around, though she knew they were close to their destination.

"Only mates feel warmth from vampires Bella."

Sorry for the cliff hanger but I'm already writing Chapter 6, I wouldn't keep ya'll in suspense too long, as a fellow fanfiction reader, it drives me crazy! No pitchforks and torches! Okay? Thanks!
