A Game Gone Wrong
Let's put it this way, if I owned any of these characters, I wouldn't be typing on a laptop that likes to crash or twisting the story around for my own amusement
CH 12
Slowly Jasper turned around to face his maker, keeping Bella, he hoped, invisible behind him.
"Hello, Maria." His voice was not as calm as he had hoped, it was icy with anger and fear. But the fear was not his own. It was from the beautiful woman behind him who recognized who the dark skinned vampire had to be, and what it meant for the two of them. They weren't going anywhere without a fight.
"Jasper, it really has been too long. I've missed you and the Captain. Where is he? Off with his little whore?"
"Her name is Charlotte. And yes, I would imagine he is home with her right now. A place I will be going to now if you don't mind." Bella could hear the steel in his voice laced with the faint edge of hope. He truly though they might have a chance to walk away.
"Oh no, pet. I can't let you leave yet. Especially not without sampling that delicious treat behind you." She smirked at his growl. "Oh yes, I imagine you fancy yourself in love with her. You always did have a soft spot for the shy ones. But believe me, she will be much better suited as a meal than a pet. Unlike you, my love, she isn't built to withstand our…appetites." Bella whimpered in fear, making Jasper growl a second time before lunging at his creator who neatly sidestepped.
"Now now Major. I'm no newborn. If you want to fight me, you'll have to do better than that." Quickly, she swept his legs out from under him and danced towards Bella.
Before she reached her however, Jasper was up and grabbing Maria in the headlock Bella had seen him use on Peter. Then the real fighting began. Once again all Bella could see was a blur of color. Jasper in his customary black, Maria in red. Blood red. Sounds like screeching metal could be heard and she knew someone was losing limbs. But she couldn't tell who, until suddenly Jasper was flung against the far wall and Maria was directly in front of her, biting the wrist that was untouched from her encounter with James.
Bella screamed as the fire began burning from her wrist through her arm and into her entire body. Jasper flew from where he landed and the battle began again while Bella writhed on the floor in agony. Finally, through a haze of black, Bella saw Jasper catch Maria off guard and rip her head from her body. Much like with James, she was quickly torched and forgotten as he ran back to Bella.
"Bella, darlin', look at me. Stay with me. Oh God, sweetheart I'm so sorry. I'll fix it, I promise. Just like Edward did. I'll…" She grabbed his wrist and shook her head.
"Don't want…hers. Yours." She gritted out past her teeth.
"Mine? You mean…bite you? Change you? Bella…I can't, I wouldn't stop." She shook her head again.
"Trust…you. Please…Jas-per." He looked at her with fear in his eyes but nodded. He would try. For her. Leaning down he kissed her forehead and whispered "I love you" before biting into the side of her neck.
It was like nothing he had ever tasted before. The sweetest nectar of the god's. He couldn't stop. He felt her heart begin to slow, her eyes closing. He had to stop. But…
RING!RING!RING!
His phone jerked him from his stupor and he pulled away. Oh god! Had he? On autopilot he answered.
"JASPER! She's ok. You stopped in time! But you have to get her out of there now! Before she starts screaming. Take her home to Peter and Charlotte." He registered that is was Alice's voice on the other end of the line. "NOW JASPER! GO!" He realized what she had said. He hadn't killed her! Bella was ok. He leapt to his feet and grabbed her running from the building at a speed that no one would see him. Then he noticed the phone still in his hand. He whispered,
"Thank you Alice," and hung up. He didn't hear her reply of thank you, or Edwards roar in the background when Alice forgot to block her vision of Bella changed from her thoughts.
AN- So maybe a bunch of tiny chapters will count as one really long one? At least I'm updating J
