Splendour Mine

A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet. The slash is all my idea.

Chapter 144. What wouldst thou have with me?

-Jasper-

Distracted as we were by Edward's misguided attempts to bring peace between our families, no one had noticed how close James had moved to Alice, until it was too late.

James grabbed her and as one we sprang forward. I was closest but ground to a stop, putting my hands out to slow Garrett and Peter, when I saw the cold steel pierce her skin and a trickle of blood slide down her neck.

Alice was petrified and with good reason; it was obvious to me now that James was a madman.

"Your brother has Bella, now I've got you."
