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 173. Pale, pale as ashes, all bedaub'd in blood.

-Jasper-

I only made it three steps and then I was on my knees on the linoleum floor, boneless, the sight of Garrett so pale and lifeless on the table hitting me—the blood, the gaping wound, a tube down his throat…

Alice rushed over and dropped to her knees beside me, but before I could tell her what I'd seen, the sound of high heels tap tapping down the corridor caught our attention. As we looked up, my mother rounded the corner and gasped as she saw us huddled on the floor.

"Garrett?" she whispered, tears gathering in her eyes.
