Thank you again for your kind reviews. Only other fanfiction writers know how happy they make me.
I also want to make Jasper and Maria's relationship clear so this chapter and the rest of the story is easier to understand. Maria appears to care for Jasper after he gets hurt to make him feel like she loves him so he is more likely to believe her when she tells him its his fault. She also protects him when he is weak because he is hers. If she wanted him hurt, then she'll say so.

Jasper's POV
Elias had pinned me to the ground but without much effort. Perhaps I should have taken the blood that Peter offered; I needed the strength.
"Elias, don't" I whispered, exhausted.
He already began to take my clothes off with a grim smile on his face. I wanted to fight back so much but I was now finding it difficult to so much as raise my arm. Once I was fully naked, Elias started to touch my body from my chest to my torso and finally to my already tortured length.
His eyes laid on mine as his smile grew. He unbuckled his belt and pulled out his size before crouching down to me.
"You look hungry" Elias whispered, darkly.
A hand went under my head as he raised it a bit to pull my head closer to him. He was wanting me to suck him off but yet again, I just didn't have the strength in me to even do as he ordered. He forced my mouth open and then shoved himself into my mouth. He had a fistful of my hair to control the movement of my head so that he was bobbing my head quickly.
He moaned as he fucked my mouth as I just lied there and let him control me like a puppet. His other hand trailed down below my waist to give me the reaction he wanted but then all of a sudden, his body flew back against the wall as Maria pinned him.
"What the fuck are you doing?" She hissed at him.
"You're starving him. I just wanted to make sure that he digests something" he replied with a smirk.
"This isn't funny. I warned you to stay away from him" she snarled.
They both glared at each other but as Maria snapped her teeth to scare him back, he ran past her and away from the both of us. Maria pulled my body close to her and wiped my mouth with her sleeve.
"Stay strong, Major" she said as she ran a hand through my hair.
She moved away to put my clothes back on since I was too weak to do it myself. Once she had me fully clothed, she ordered a newborn to near us. The newborn dropped to his knees and exposed his neck.
"I cannot allow you to drink directly from a human but he should keep you going for now. Just don't drain him; I still need him alive" Maria warned.
I actually preferred drinking blood from a vampire who just fed rather from a human itself because it would help me avoid feeling their emotions as they faced death. With Maria's hands guiding my head to lift up, I bit into the newborn's neck and began to drink. I was taking as much blood as I could as fast as I could but Maria pulled me away from him too soon.
"No! No, I need it!" I snarled at her as the newborn kept their distance.
"Don't waste your energy, Major. You don't know how long you have to wait to feed again" she warned.
I stopped snarling when I noticed the glare she was giving me. It meant it was my final warning before she would punish me. I didn't want to go through that again; besides, she was right. I needed to save my energy for when I needed to use it such as when Elias tries to hurt me again.
Edward's POV
The sound of Jasper's growling was beginning to annoy me. He was stood by the corner nearest to the door and whenever one of us walked in or out, he either growled or hissed. He is viewing us as the newborns from his past. At the moment, he thinks that he is in a barn, being protected by and protecting an imaginary Maria.
Well Maria wasn't completely imaginary. Every now and again, he placed himself by Rosalie and stood defensively over her; thinking that she was Maria but most of the time, Jasper just seemed to be protecting no-one.
When we were a safe distance from him, Jasper would occasionally look behind him and watch the vampire that only he could see. Carlisle felt a responsibility to do something about this but right now, Jasper Hale was gone and Major Jasper Whitlock had returned and there was nothing any of us could do about it until Alice and Emmett returned with Peter and Charlotte.
We figured that it would be a better idea for Emmett to leave with Alice because if he was out of the house, we thought it would stop Jasper from viewing us as newborns but it turns out it didn't make a difference. Although there were five of us in the house, Jasper somehow saw 15 and all of which appeared to be dangerous.
There was one in particular which he seemed to name 'Elias'. This was the vampire that over took Jasper's role as second in command and convinced Maria to turn him into the newborns 'treat' for when they win their battles.
Jasper turned his head to the wall behind him as he tilted it. We could all notice how distance his eyes were which told us that he weren't looking at the wall at all. Rosalie sighed and walked cautiously near him. Carlisle was thinking about stopping her; knowing how dangerous he was at this time but thought against it. Rose was the only one he hadn't growled at yet.
"Jasper, hey. Look at me" she told him as she crouched in front of him.
He noticed her with a fearful expression but he didn't back away like his mind was telling him to. He was forcing himself to stay strong and not show any weakness. Maria hated weakness and I hated how she would hurt Jasper the way she did just to make him act strong. It had damaged him more than it strengthened him.
Rosalie gently reached her hand near Jasper's face and in return, Jasper rubbed his head against her hand. Jasper had many strange gestures that none of us were familiar with but since Jasper had become…this, he has acted more like an animal than he has ever had since he had joined us. It made me realise just how different we have all turned out being raised by Carlisle ever since we were turned but unfortunately for Jasper, he came across the wrong vampire. I have never felt so appreciated towards Carlisle than I do now. There are only two covens on this world that are vegetarian; us and the Denali's but during the time that I was human, Carlisle was the only one so I was so lucky for it to be him who changed me.
Alice's POV
I had luckily managed to visualise Peter and Charlotte's next destination so Emmett had tagged along with me to find them and ask for their help. I already knew that they would; even without seeing the future because I understood how close Peter was to Jasper. They both knew what each other had gone through. Jasper had also risked himself getting killed by letting Peter go with his mate, Charlotte. Jasper never told me what happened to him when Maria had found out about Peter and Charlotte's disappearance but I knew it wasn't good.
Emmett and I were travelling as fast as we could to find them because the sooner we brought them back, the sooner Jasper could be helped. Things just seemed to be getting worse as the days went by. First, Jasper tries to set himself on fire, then we find out he has been harming himself and now he isn't himself at all. I wanted to do more for him but I couldn't. I wanted to be home to comfort him but I knew I had to be out here for Jasper's sake.
"Can I ask you something?" Emmett questioned.
"Sure" I replied.
"Does it ever feel…weird…being with Jasper?" He asked.
I turned my head to look at him curiously.
"What do you mean?" I questioned.
"Well, we both know that he's, you know…different... so if you are mated to him do you ever feel like you have to act more like him?" He explained.
I understood his question a little more. He was referring to Jasper's wild side and lack of human acting. I rolled my eyes at him.
"You guys need to understand that Jasper isn't the 'different' one; the rest of us are. You just seem to think so because he's the only true vampire in the house….well, minus the human drinking but how do you think he feels? You were all weird to him when we first joined but he did his best to be like you guys. I know that his wild side still tends to show but he's doing his best" I said.
"I know. I guess we have been acting human for so long that we believe that we still are one" Emmett agreed.
We stopped dead in our tracks as we smelt the scent of another vampire… or vampires. Emmett stood in front of me but I pulled him back.
"Don't appear as a threat. It's them" I informed him. I then looked ahead, into the trees. "Peter! Charlotte! I know you are here and we need your help" I shouted.
There was no response but I know it is normal for a vampire to be cautious. But since it was Peter, I knew the perfect words to use to make him come out.
"Jasper's in trouble" I said.
Peter suddenly appeared far ahead from us. Charlotte was still hiding but Peter had probably told her to stay hidden as part of being her mate. He cautiously walked towards us.
"Alice, right?" He questioned.
I nodded at him. Peter turned his head around and gave it a nod and then Charlotte appeared. He looked back at me as she, too, walked forward.
"What do you mean he's in trouble?" He questioned.
I had no idea how I was going to explain this. Was he aware that Jasper had been harming himself just after he left and joined Peter and Charlotte? Was he aware that Jasper was suicidal? Was he aware of Jasper's flashbacks? He should at least be aware that Jasper was deeply affected by what had been done to him by Maria.
"His past has come back to haunt him. His mental state is getting worse each day" I said, sadly.
"Mental state?" Charlotte questioned.
"I knew it" Peter muttered.
Both Emmett and I looked at him curiously.
"What was that supposed to mean?" Emmett questioned.
Peter looked hesitant to answer the question. He wasn't sure what to say but that was probably because he didn't know if we knew anything about Jasper's past with him and if we did, how much it was we knew.
"I thought he was better after he found you" Peter spoke to me directly.
"So you knew he wasn't okay" I stated.
"Has he tried anything?" Peter asked, not answering my question.
Emmett raised an eyebrow; wanting Peter to be more specific.
"I mean, has he tried to end his life?" He asked again.
Peter already knew the answer by the look we gave him. How did he know? Had Jasper tried to do it before?
"When I got Jasper out of there, I knew he wasn't the same Jasper that I had left when he let Charlotte and I go. During the time he stayed with us, there had been several times that he actually asked me if I would…." Peter paused as a painful expression appeared on his face.
"Ask you what?" I demanded for answer.
It was stupid, really. I already knew what he would say; Emmett, too.
"He would ask me if I would kill him. Rip his head off and set him on fire" Peter answered quietly.
I knew that if I were human, I would have cried in that moment. He has been suffering for too long. It just made me feel more desperate to help him. Nobody said anything for a while but Emmett soon broke the silence.
"Jasper thinks he's back in that war zone" he said.
Peter's head quickly turned to Emmett. "What do you mean?" He questioned.
"He doesn't know who we are and attacks us if we get too close. Carlisle guessed that it was a flashback but it has been two whole days and he still hasn't come out of it" Emmett explained.
Peter's hand ran through his hair as he tried to think. He looked a little confused as he tried to figure out what It could be.
"He always had flashbacks. Most of the bites that I have are from having to calm him down but it only lasted half an hour max" Peter informed.
So why was this going on for so long?
"Take us to him" Charlotte pleaded.
And in the next chapter, we will be seeing this in Peter's POV
