Jasper Pov (Bella aged ten)

Time had passed slowly since Edward had left, for Bella at least. Slow and dragging in the intervals we were left waiting for him to return, a rushed flurry of excited activity when he was here.

And the emotional turmoil was becoming too much for Bella. She was too easily excited and far too easily disappointed.

As months passed without a visit from Edward it became clear that Bella wasn't really expecting one. Though her heart rate picked up and eyes grew wide every time there was a knock on the door and a ring of the phone, Bella was quickly losing hope and every time she was just a little more disappointed then the last.

Bella's birthday was approaching and instead of the bubbling anticipation that resided in most children at this time, Bella felt nothing but heavy resignation.

She was too young to fear growing older, Alice had assured us that Bella wasn't being bullied and she hadn't suddenly decided she no longer wanted to live in a house full of vampires. So we had decided that the only, and most likely cause of Bella's sudden downtrodden heart must be; Edward.

Being an empath I witnessed things, the emotions of others. Emotions people didn't want me to bear witness to, emotions I wasn't entitled to know of.

Alice saw the future, often a future she couldn't change. She saw things, awful things and more often then not there was nothing she could do.

I loved Alice, but in terms of our powers I'd always felt closer to Edward. He heard tings, I felt things, personal things. Things that weren't ours to know. A person's mind, a person's heart, should be their own. The things Edward heard and the things I felt weren't ours to witness and yet we did, against our will.

I tried to respect a person's privacy. If I had to know of their innermost emotions, surely I should be the only one. Edward tried to block out the thoughts and I tried to keep those emotions to myself.

Bella's depression at ten years of age scared me, I didn't remember much of my own childhood beyond riding young colts with my brother and hunting with my father. I didn't even remember my father's face, just his presence but despite this I couldn't recall being unhappy, I was perfectly carefree.

Because of this I informed the family of how down Bella had been lately, they worried too but they had high hopes that Edward's visit would rectify the problem.

I knew better.

Bella was angry, no, furious. Bella's anger was all encompassing, it burned through her veins and I was sure that if it continued in this way, it would consume her.

Bella was more like me then I would've first thought. She buried her anger, she hid it under smiles, but I saw it and I knew that it would come out, and that sort of unresolved anger was destructive, far too destructive.

But they did not see this, no; they saw sweet little Bella who tasted only sweetness and embodied all that was good and right in the world.

My family could not see, blinded by their love for her. They could not see her anger and thus could not see her pain.

Edward had left, Edward had hurt her and in return she wished to hurt Edward. And what could be more fitting then imitating his own actions and, leaving him.

Though their eyes widened and their mouths formed o's as they gasped I did not. When that day came I was not shocked as they were, no instead I had stayed grim and silent and then, as Bella passed by me, we shared one look, our eyes heavy and sad but our mouths twisted in a smug grimace.

Bella and I were more alike then I had first thought, and so I understood when they did not. Bella needed the satisfaction, that sour bitter burn on the tip of her tongue, Bella needed revenge.

And the only way to hurt a vampire; was to attack his heart.

~Flashback~

"Alice, I'll be coming in a week, for Bella's birthday", Edward said clearly, decisively.

"Alice", he repeated firmly when she still hadn't responded.

"Em…. Edward?", Alice tossed the phone between he hands, fidgeting with the cord.

"Yes Alice", he replied impatiently. "You know you don't have to come", Alice muttered feebly.

"What are you talking about Alice? it's Bella's birthday, of course I do", he snapped.

Alice shot a pleading look at Bella, who turned away and continued to play with that mutt she called a pet, ignoring Alice.

"No I mean it Edward, you really don't have to".

"What on earth are you talking about?", he demanded.

"Edward", she sighed, her lip trembling and I had to turn away. I was on Bella's side and I would not cave, even if Alice hated it.

"Bella…. Bella doesn't want you to", she whispered.

There was a long pause on the other end and I thought for a moment that he didn't understand, but as a loud click sounded and the phone slipped from Alice's fingers I knew that he understood. He got the message, loud and clear.

Hours later I had sat in the library, deciding what to read with Bella next. Guilt radiated out from within me. I had spent many minutes deciding whether the guilt was mine or belonged to the other culprit; Bella.

I had eventually determined that this painful guilt belonged to both of us, though mainly Bella.

I had stood and marched from the library, heading to Bella's bedroom. I would speak to her, convince her of what I already knew; that revenge solved nothing and it's satisfaction was purely temporary.

But as I approached the door and lifted my hand to knock, I heard Bella's desperate sobs and choked rasping cries.

No, Edward deserved what he got, because no matter how temporary her satisfaction may be, anything that overpowered her cries could bring me eternal satisfaction.
