Too Late

BellaPOV

Jasper skidded around the corner and we screeched to a halt outside Miss Julia's Dance Studio. It was closed for the Christmas break.

" Ready?" Jasper asked me. I ignored him and just ran inside.

" Bella," he called exasperated before catching up to me.

We were in the lobby. There were three doors. Ballet. Tap. Jazz.

Running at the second door, it swung open as I reached it. I could hear a distressed voice.

" Bella, where are you? Isabella?" Mum yelled. I ran with Jasper behind me.

Mum's voice was coming from near a storage unit. Jasper over took me and wrenched open the doors. A TV was playing. It was home video. I was seven and it was my birthday. Jasper was behind the camera, filming Mum freak out, trying to find me. I had run down to the cemetery to see Renesmee.

" Oh dear, where were you?" Mum gasped in relief as I ran through the door. You could hear Jazz and Em's laughter in the background.

" I was giving Nessie her birthday flowers," I said innocently.

" You were a cute child weren't you Isabella?"

Jasper cursed and spun around. I turned slowly to face red eyes.

" Mum?" I whispered.

" Oh about that. Didn't Carlisle tell you? He rang Charlie saying you would be staying at the Cullens for a souple of days. Charlie didn't suspect a thing when you didn't come home. Renee never got the distress call," James snickered, " Sorry I lied,"

" You bastard," Jasper yelled, pushing me behind him.

" I am disappointed in you Bella," James continued, ignoring Jazz. He started to cirle us.

" I did tell you not to bring anyone,"

" No, you told me not to bring any vampires," I whispered, not trusting my voice.

" Hmm, it would seem you were right. But never the less, you brought someone and that someone will have to pay the price," James hissed shifting into a crouch and moving forward.

My breath hitched and I clung to Jasper's jacket.

" I'm sorry," I murmured in Jasper's ear. He shook his head.

" Aw how sweet," James cooed. I started to back up, pulling Jasper with me but James was faster. He grabbed me and towed me over to a solitary chair. He shoved me into it with vampire strength. My head snapped back as I hit the wood. I whimpered.

" Now Bella, you will watch your brother pay for your mistakes. I told you not to bring anyone and you disobeyed me. Didn't police Daddy ever tell you to follow orders?" James snarled, pulling Jasper over and holding him in front of me.

" Jasper," I whispered.

" Shut up," James hissed slapping my across the cheek. His nails cut into my skin just under my eye. Blood dripped out of the cut. James' eyes darkened as he smelt the blood.

Jasper knew what was going to happen and, just as James went to leap on me, he kicked James in the shin and started to sprint towards the door, whipping out his cell phone on the way.

James' eyes narrowed and he practically flew to Jasper catching him and throwing his against one of the two mirrors in the room. The glass smashed as Jasper's head hit it. Blood quickly started to stain his brown hair as he struggled to get up.

I screamed and got up from my chair. James was to occupied by the blood to notice me coming up behind him. But before I could do anything he stomped on Jasper's leg. The crack that followed rang in my ears. Jasper screamed. James laughed. I ran at James but was, once again, too late.

Overcome by his thirst, he bit down into Jasper's arm. I yelled in shock and leapt at James. He didn't even flinch. He just threw out his hand and smacked me across to room. My arm slapped the other mirror and the mirror shattered. Glass sliced through my arm in all directions but I didn't care.

Jasper was dying.
