A/N A huge thanks to my friend for her awesome beta work on this chapter. I'm warning you now, if you're soft hearted at all you'll need tissue with this chapter. My beta said she cried through the whole chapter. The drama with the family has begun, and Jasper just may not make it out alive. Bella gets involved and some harsh truth starts to come out. Hope you enjoy.

I do not own Twilight or any of the characters, but Catherine is mine.

Rose's POV

With Catherine and my brother now married Em and I had to get back to the family. They knew that we had been with Jasper, but as usual we were able to keep Edward from knowing what was going on in his life. Of course that didn't stop them from asking.

The only thing that we told them was that he was happy. Of course that just pissed both of them off. According to them, he should only be happy when he agreed to marry Alice and went along with whatever they wanted him to do.

When they started to spew out their bullshit about him needing to come back and stay I had to roll my eyes. Either Carlisle was stupid, or he couldn't see how cruel they treated Jasper. He just fucking went along with whatever lies they told him.

We ended up getting into some very heated arguments and while I knew I was right, I was starting to become worried that I might get pissed off enough to say something that could end up hurting Jasper. I almost had several times already.

Em was the one to point out, in private of course, that both Edward and Alice were deliberately trying to push my buttons so that I would say something. Most people see Em as a really big, stupid kid in a man's body. They fail to look past his size and his antics to see that he is smart. Smarter than Edward or Alice would ever be.

We decided that we needed to get away for just a couple of days. We wouldn't go far, but we just needed to unwind from the tornado named Edward and the hurricane named Alice. We wouldn't be going to see Jasper either, Em said that we couldn't, he felt that this time they would wait and follow us.

They had been acting kind of funny. It was as if they knew something that would bring Jasper back into their clutches. I wasn't really worried about that, but I was worried about Catherine. I didn't want to see her caught in the crossfire.

When we got back a couple of days later, I knew something was up. Edward and Alice were caught several time whispering. They would disappear for minutes, sometimes an hour or two. I also over heard Edward telling Nessie that if Jasper came back to be sure to stay away from him.

Em said that he knew they were up to something. Especially since Edward, Bella and Nessie had been staying at the house instead of their own cottage. Edward just said that he was adding to the cottage and wanted to surprise Bella and Nessie. The real kicker, Alice was planning her wedding to Jasper. Yeah something was definitely wrong with this picture.

I mean she was ordering flowers, designing a wedding dress and searching online for wedding invitations as well as decorations for the wedding that both Em and I knew couldn't take place. I got really pissed off when she fucking asked me to be her maid of honor.

I almost screamed that he not only wouldn't marry her, that he couldn't. Em had to get me out of there before I said anything. I couldn't tell them, they would try to destroy Jasper's happiness.

I had never seen Jasper so happy as he is now. He's full of confidence and he's becoming proud of who he is as a man and vampire. I was enjoying being around him even more than usual. I'd rather die than to allow Edward and Alice to take that away from him.

Knowing them they would convince Carlisle that Jasper needed to stay away from Catherine because he would end up killing her. Of course he would believe them and no matter what we said, he would go along with separating him and Catherine. I refused to allow that to happen.

It was a couple of days after we got back that my phone rang. Seeing that it was Catherine I made an excuse that it was a patient that I had kept in contact with. Alice was busy with wedding plans and Edward was gone again. I walked to a secluded spot, with Em right behind me. He said that he wanted some alone time with me.

I knew that if Catherine was calling me, something was wrong. Em did too and he wanted to be there for her whatever was going on. He loved her and it went much deeper than it ever had between him and Bella. She was our daughter, no matter what.

As soon as I answered we both knew that it was worse than we could even have thought. She was crying and screaming. It took her a couple of minutes to try to calm down enough to talk so that I could understand her.

It seems that Jasper was missing. It also seems that he was in extreme pain. She could feel it through her bond with him. She had waited two days, thinking that maybe he was fighting and couldn't call or even text.

I realized just how even more special Jasper was. He had been willing to go and protect Nessie, even after she had hurt him so deeply. That right there was enough proof that there was no way that he could even come close to being the monster that Edward and Alice had painted him to be. It also made me frightened, if he wasn't texting, calling or hasn't been seen in two days, then he was possibly in deeper shit than even I thought.

I knew then that it was worse than any of us thought. I told her that as far as we knew there hadn't been any problems and that Bella and Nessie were staying at the house because their place was being fixed up. There weren't any vampires coming after Nessie.

I told her to stay put and that I would send Em to stay with her. While I still had her on the phone, I ran to the cottage and while I didn't see Jasper, I also noticed that there wasn't any construction going on either. Something was very wrong.

I truly believe that fate was finally on Jasper's side. I sent Em to stay with Catherine while I tried to get to the bottom of where Jasper was. While trying to figure out what to do, the family, minus Em, Bella, Nessie and myself were going hunting and would be back in a few hours.

I was just about to head over to the cottage to search it when Nessie asked me if I could run her to the cottage. There was a book that she wanted to read, but had left it behind when they packed up to stay at our house. Perfect excuse for being there and I could at least find out if Jasper had been there recently. Part of me was scared of what I might find.

When we got there I started looking around. I found nothing, but I did know that Jasper had indeed been here, I could smell him. I heard some thumping, but was distracted when Emmett called me to find out if I had been able to find out anything.

Nessie came up to me and motioned that she was going to go and check the basement, as she couldn't find the book she wanted. Her mom kept extra books down there. I gave her a thumbs up to let her know it was fine by me. I told Em what I had found so far and then hung up with the promise of calling him soon with an update.

I suddenly heard Nessie's cry out and then she came running up the stairs from the basement. She was crying and very upset. All she kept saying was, "The basement, a monster is in the basement!"

I told her to stay up here and then went down there myself. To say I was shocked by what I saw would never cover the horror I felt, as well as the sick feeling in my stomach. I had found my son-in-law.

Since he was married to Catherine who is my daughter, that's what I see him as now. My heart broke at what I saw and yet there wasn't a fucking thing I could do for him. I had to leave him just like I found him.

I may not be able to help him directly, but I knew it was time for the family to wake up, pull their heads out of their asses and see for themselves who the real monsters are in the family. It sure as fuck wasn't Jasper.

I called Bella. She needed to see first hand what her husband was capable of. She said she would be right there. I asked if the family was back yet and she said they were on their way, but it would be an hour before they actually got here. Just enough time for her to see and make a decision about how to handle this.

I just couldn't bring myself to tell Catherine. She would be so heartbroken and extremely pissed off. I also needed to set the stage so to speak before she became involved.

Bella was there quickly and saw just how upset Nessie was. I tried to console her, but she was really upset about seeing her uncle Jasper like that. She kept saying how sorry she was that she had been so mean to him.

Again Nessie had to stay here while I took Bella down to her own basement. She was really confused and angry that apparently her husband had lied to her again. There was no remodeling going on. At least upstairs, the basement was indeed changed from what it had looked like, but not by any construction company. It was done by the monster that had been unleased.

I also knew that in order for the truth to come out that meant that all of it needed to be told, including who and what Catherine was to me, Em and Jasper, but first Bella needed to face the horror of what her husband had been a part of.

As soon as she took in everything she started firing questions at Jasper, until she realized that he couldn't answer her. I pulled her back upstairs and then sat her down and told her everything. Including the fact that Jasper was married to his true mate.

I also told her how Jasper was treated behind everyone's back. She was beyond pissed and hurt that her husband could be so cruel and teach their daughter to be the same way. When I told her about what Nessie had said to her uncle she was sickened that Edward could teach their child that kind of cruelty.

I told her the things that Jasper has done to and with Catherine. Including taking care of her wound which was bleeding at the time. By the time I was done telling her everything, she was already in agreement that everything needed to stop and the lies needed to be exposed. She couldn't understand how she could have lived with someone who could be that cruel to someone who is supposed to be family.

First things first. We needed to have a family meeting and Catherine needed to be here for it. Before the meeting though, Carlisle needed to see exactly what his two "special" kids had done, to someone who only wanted to forget his past and be loved.

First we would have to get Catherine here and she needed to know the condition her husband was in. In the meantime I would talk to Carlisle and show him the truth, before Edward or Alice could move him. While the shit was hitting the fan here, Bella and Nessie would go and tell Catherine and Em what was going on.

Em would leave as soon as he knew that everything was going to be exposed and come here to help get things ready for what was going to happen. Peter and Char would be needed as well probably. Although I did worry that maybe they might rip first and then ask questions.

Bella would bring Catherine after she told her what she knew. By the time they got here, Carlisle would have already seen Jasper and hopefully maybe helped him. They needed to be reunited and be together during the meeting.

Now all I had to do was wait until the family were back.

Emmett's POV

Rose called while Catherine was sleeping. It took a couple of hours for her to finally cry herself to sleep. Rose explained everything to me. I was so fucking pissed off at what had happened that I wanted nothing more than to run back to the house and fucking rip Edward and Alice apart.

Rose stopped me by explaining what her and Bella's plan was. The worst part of all of this is that this is going to hurt Cath so fucking bad. She's had such a fucking messed up life and now to have this added just when she had found happiness with her mate, my brother.

I have to admit that I was now worried about Rose. She was planning on getting Carlisle alone and then showing him what they had done to Jasper. I was afraid that they might hurt her to shut her up. And none of us really knew if Jasper would ever be able to come back from this. Maybe Peter would know.

If he didn't, I couldn't even begin to imagine how Catherine would take this. Actually I do know. Its going to destroy her. If Jasper can't come back, then I'll fucking kill Edward and Alice. I don't care if Carlisle tells me not to. I can't watch my daughter be destroyed without getting revenge on the ones responsible.

Rose was talking to Peter right now. I was hoping that they would get there so that my Rosie would have someone who would protect her. I would be going back just as soon as Bella and Nessie got here.

In the meantime I fucking pace. Another twenty minutes passed and then I heard them running. I was at the door before they even came through the trees. Nessie was the first to reach me.

She threw herself into my waiting arms and then cried. She kept saying how sorry she was for hurting her uncle Jasper. That she loved him and wanted him to get well again.

When Bella told me what she had seen when she walked into the basement I hated Edward and Alice at that point. When she described Jasper's condition the pain I felt for not only my brother, but for my daughter, his mate, was more than I ever felt before. I just couldn't seem to grasp how anyone could do that to another vampire, especially when they are part of the same family.

It was time for me to get back, but I didn't want to leave Catherine without introducing her to Bella. She was angry at the whole family and Bella was part of the family. She needed to give Bella a chance to explain. It was with deep regret that I had to wake her up.

I told her that we had found Jasper and she got so fucking excited and was ready to run straight to him. I explained to her that Bella had come to get her and bring her to the house, but first she needed to tell her some things and she needed to listen.

I introduced them and Bella was quite surprised at how beautiful she thought Catherine was. I explained to Bella then that she was hard of hearing and would need to see her face in order to hear her.

Bella then told me to stay at least for a few more minutes. Rose wasn't going to do anything or say anything until she got a call from me that I was on my way. Actually she would wait until I got there.

So I sat and listened as Bella held Catherine's hands in her own and explained Jasper's condition, "Jasper is down in the basement of my house. I had no idea he was there or how long he's been there, but I can tell you that if I had known sooner I would have helped him. As he is now, well, I'm not sure that there's anything anyone can do for him. He's alive, but his legs and arms are gone and he's not himself. Catherine, I'm sorry but there might not be anything to bring him back. No one can get close to him right now, he's... well, he's feral. He's more like a caged animal... wild and will do his best to destroy whatever he can sink his teeth into. I'm sorry, but it looks like he may have to be destroyed". . .
