A/N First I need to thank OoJasper'sAngeloO for doing the beta work on this. Alright everyone, this is the one everyone has been waiting for. Now we find out who has been after Bella and other details that everyone has been waiting for. Hope you enjoy. Please read the A/N at the bottom I have some important news.

I don't own Twilight or any of the characters.

Bella's POV

"Hello Bella. Ready to have some fun?" she asked me.

I stood there in shock. Not because of the fact that I was at her mercy, but because she wasn't supposed to be here. Or anywhere else for that matter. She was supposed to be dead. Standing not ten feet away from me was Victoria.

I managed to stutter out a "How?" before her laughter rang out loud and evil, "What's the matter Bella, wolf got your tongue?"

She laughed even harder I'm guessing at her own play with words. But it did what she wanted it to do, brought a fresh wave of pain for my friends who had their lives taken by this bitch. Then the pain was replaced by anger. She has killed everyone I had truly cared about.

"Surprised to see me Bella?" she said it like we were friends.

"How did you survive? You were ripped apart and burned." I asked.

"Quiet simple really. I had a friend of mine helping me. She had the same color hair as I did. I knew that the wolves were protecting you since the Cullens had left you defenseless. I crossed the path of two of the strongest wolves, I needed to see just how strong they were, and if they could actually kill a vampire with two of them against one. Oh, I knew that they as a pack could destroy one of my kind. They did destroy Laurent after all. I did fight them as well as Lucy. I was the one to bite them. Then I slipped out of the fight. I watched as they ripped her apart and then phased back and burned her. Since we didn't fight them together, they thought it was me that they killed." she explained.

"You do realize that my mate is going to fucking rip your ass apart for even touching me? He's a mean vampire when it comes to me." I retorted.

She started to laugh. This pissed me off even more, "You really are nothing but a stupid bitch. He's going to kill you and you're laughing. I told you, he's gonna fucking rip your ass apart!"

She back handed me hard, but not hard enough to break anything. I fell and then she grabbed me by my hair and jerked me up. She got right up in my face and licked the blood that was running down my chin. I tried to pull away, but she held on tight and said, "If you think that Eddie boy will be showing up to save the day then you have another thing coming. Even if he did, he's out numbered. I have a small army out there waiting for him. I think that my Riley already told you my plans for both you and Edward."

Riley spoke up then, "Victoria, her mate is closer than we might think. I tried to tell you that he apparently came back for her. He's been with her almost constantly the last couple of weeks."

"Doesn't matter, the ones guarding the area will be able to capture him, and then the real fun begins. I've seen Edward fight, he doesn't stand a chance against us." she replied.

I started laughing. I couldn't help myself, she fucking thought that Edward had come back. Maybe he was no match for her "army" as she put it, but I knew that against very skilled fighters she was going to lose. That cost me another slap across the other side of my face. At least now it would match and that thought made me laugh even harder.

This time she let go of me and slapped me hard enough for my body to fly across the room. Still, nothing broken, but more skin and more bleeding. It's really not a good idea to be bleeding around vampires. She asked me what I was finding so funny.

I told her that my mate was NOT Edward. Then I said, "You might know him or at least heard of him. He's Jasper Whitlock, he's also know as the Major. I believe that he fought with a bitch named Maria in the Southern wars. Maybe he might just go easy on you, if you let me go now."

I could tell that this news made her very uneasy, she looked at Riley who I recognized as the vampire that tried to take me when my truck stalled, "Riley, you told me that her mate had come back for her. It's Edward right?"

"I assumed it was Edward. You said he was tall, slim, with light colored hair right? Only the hair was different than what you told me. Its blonde, curly, and chin length. I do know that I heard him talking about having left the Cullens, so I figured it had to have been him." he quickly explained.

"You little bitch. You're just trying to confuse me." She screamed.

Then she slapped me again. Then she did something that shocked me. She ripped off my clothes, and started sniffing me. Then she sniffed my clothes. The look on her face was priceless. The look on Riley's face was scary. I could tell that he was wanting to have his way with me.

"Its true that it's not Edward, but he hasn't claimed you yet. Otherwise, you would smell like him. Riley, do with her whatever you want, but do it quickly. Then kill the bitch. Make sure it hurts, and I'll watch as you fuck her and then drain her. But I'm not taking any chances that she's telling the truth. I want to be long gone before anyone gets here." she told him.

She turned to me one last time and told me how much pleasure she got out of killing everyone that I considered to be family. Then she slapped me a couple more times. Then she stepped aside and I saw Riley coming towards me, with a sick gleam in his red eyes.

I was on the floor curled up trying to hide my body as much as I could. He grabbed me by my hair and once again I found myself being jerked up, but this time I was slammed against the wall. His face was now in my face and he growled out, "I'm going to enjoy this so much."

At the same time he grabbed my left breast, squeezing it painfully. The only thing that saved me at this point was the fact that I told him that he was more stupid than I had thought he was. He pulled back for a second and that's all it took. He was violently ripped away.

As soon as he had me pinned against the wall I saw Victoria slip out the door. A few seconds later, I saw Jasper slip in. I knew he had been close by, I could feel him. I didn't know how, I just did. When Riley saw him, I could tell he was going to be stupid. He smiled at Jasper and then said, "You should have claimed her when you first saw her. I have touched and seen what you are too afraid to touch."

I thought of Peter's words, "Oh shit!"

Jasper removed both of his hands. I saw Peter start to come inside but Jasper growled and he went back outside quickly. Then Riley's feet were removed before he dropped him on the floor. As soon as his body hit the floor, Jasper covered his face with a rag. It took me a minute to realize that he was keeping the idiot from looking at me.

I wasn't afraid of Jasper at all, but maybe I should have been. I could tell by his eyes that it was the Major in control and he was feral. He came over to me and I found myself trying to cover up. Unfortunately all of my clothes had been ripped up and there wasn't even enough cloth to cover my breasts.

He forced me to put my hands down and proceeded to check me over. My breast was bruised where the bastard had grabbed me and of course my face was bloody and bruised up, with one eye swollen almost shut, from the slaps that Victoria had given me. Apparently my back was also bruised up from falling and/or being slammed against the wall. Every time he found something else bruised he would growl loudly.

He hadn't spoken and something inside of me told me that he couldn't. He was focused solely on me. Once he was finished with checking out my injuries, he took his shirt off and put it on me. His face was feral, but his actions were very gentle. He was still growling when Char knocked on the door and asked permission to enter.

I must have looked worse than I felt because Char gasped when she saw me. She was about to come closer, but Jasper just growled and pushed me behind him. She spoke up then, "Sorry, Major. I just wanted to check to see how badly Bella was hurt. All of the other vampires have been destroyed, including burning them. What do you want to do with the one in here?"

"Question him, get all the information we need. Then let him go. We need to know who is behind all of this and why. We also need to send a message to the one responsible for all of this shit. Make sure to give him back his feet, but his right hand is to be burned. He dared to touch what does not belong to him. You will scout out the area and try to find any that might have gotten away. I'm taking Bella back to the hotel. I do not want to see you until I have taken care of her and she has rested. GO!" he growled out.

It hurt really bad to talk, but I knew who it was and motioned for Jasper to look at me. My voice was barely audible, but I was able to tell them both that it was Victoria. He told me that he thought it was, as it was her scent that he smelled at dad's. She was also the one in my apartment in Seattle.

Peter asked if he could come in at that point and told Jasper to take me back to the hotel. Him and Char would take care of Riley. Jasper gently lifted me up in his arms and started running back to the hotel. My whole body was feeling pain, but he did his best not to jostle me too much.

Once back at the hotel he sneaked me up the side of the building. Since it was in the middle of the night, we were able get into our suite without being seen. It took me a minute to realize that this was a different suite. I didn't have time to ask about it as Jasper took me straight into the bathroom and sat me down on the counter.

He quickly filled the bathtub with hot water. It wasn't too hot though. Once he was satisfied with the amount of water in there, he turned around and removed his clothes. I started to panic and was having trouble breathing. He sent me some calm and I was still nervous, but at least I wasn't having a panic attack.

He then came over and gently removed the shirt I was wearing and then picked me up. He got into the bath with me. He put me on one side and sat across from me. He took a wash cloth and proceeded to wipe the blood off and cleaned me up. He had a look of pain on his handsome face. I just watched as he busied himself with taking care of me. He never said a word, but I could feel his love and his fear.

Yes, he was frightened. Of what I had no clue, but I did have my suspicions. Knowing now that we are mates, I'm thinking that he was frightened, thinking he could have lost me. Victoria could have killed me before he got there. This was the second time someone had tried to take me, but they had been more successful. I knew exactly what Jasper was thinking; what if!

When he was satisfied that I was clean enough he got out and picked me up. He set me down long enough to get a towel and dry me off. I was having trouble standing up though. My whole body was painful, so as soon as I was dry he picked me up and carried me back into the bedroom.

He then called room service and ordered me some soup and juice. My mouth was swollen and I had several cuts not only on my lips, but inside my mouth as well. It was going to hurt badly to eat. I doubt that I would be able to talk very well. The few words I had said hurt so much, how in the hell was I going to be able to eat?

Jasper put a plush robe on me and then put some pants on long enough to answer the door when the food came. If it hadn't been for the pain I was feeling, I would have been embarrassed. Not only for my nakedness, but his as well. Yet, I have to admit that seeing him, without clothes, made me feel something down lower in my belly, that I had never felt before. I wanted more.

I tried to feed myself but he wouldn't let me. At the same time, every time he looked at me, I saw the pain in his eyes. I hated that I was the one that was causing that pain. I knew that I needed to do something to try to stop him from feeling pain, what happened was not his fault.

I was able to eat all of the soup and I suddenly knew what I could do to help him with the pain. Once I was done, he took the robe off and gave me a soft silk gown to put on. It was Char's as it was just slightly too big. Unfortunately I was left without underwear.

Jasper helped me lay down and then once he knew I was tucked in, he went and sat across the room from the bed. Far away and with so much pain in his face it made my chest hurt. I called him but he refused to even look at me.

I decided that I had had enough of his fucking emo shit. I got up and went over to him, "Bella, you need to get back in bed. Until Carlisle or some other doctor can check you over you should stay in bed. Just please go back to bed and try to get some rest."

Even though it hurt like hell he was now fucking pissing me off. I reached over and put my hands on his face and turned him so that he was looking at me, "What's wrong Jasper? Are you tired of having to come to my rescue all the time? Ma.. .Maybe I should just go and leave you alone."

That seemed to have jolted him and he gently pulled me closer to him, "No. Please. Don't leave. I'm sorry, but if I hadn't have been so fucking stupid as to leave you alone, you would have never been taken, or hurt."

He was hugging me and it was becoming more painful by the second. I finally just told him, "Jasper, can you please take me back to the bed? My body is hurting all over."

He picked me up and carried me tenderly back to the bed. He again tucked me in and was about to leave when I grabbed his hand and pulled. I needed to tell him that I knew. I said, "Jasper, please stay with me."

He laid down and I curled around him the best that I could and then I said, "I know Jasper. I know what we are to each other. At least I'm pretty sure that I'm right. I feel pain in my chest when we're apart and I feel a tugging as well. The only time it goes away is when we are together. We're mates, aren't we?". . .
