A/N Please forgive me for being so late with this chapter. The reason is down at the bottom. Also I need to let you know that my beta is also sick and so I have had to post this as is. So any mistakes are mine, and I'm sorry if there are any.

I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.

Bella's POV

The pain in my chest has become almost unbearable for me. Its not just the mating pull either. Part of it is the pain I caused my mate. Peter had told me last night that he was going after them and of course Em wanted to go as well. He figured that if Jasper hasn't come back to himself then they might have to fight with him to get him back.

They all promised to not even try to come back unless he was with them or they had at least good news. Of course this now meant that Edward had to go and so the mates stayed behind. Now we would all have the pain of not having our mates with us. Alice has been almost as bad as she kept having visions that showed my dad possibly dying.

Now I had the two most important men in my life in danger and I could possibly lose both because of my own stupidity. I should have known that Jasper having been a warrior all of his vampire life would need to be by my side and not left out. All I can do is explain why I did it the way I did it and then promise to never ever make him watch as I have to fight someone. He'll always be by my side from now on.

Char did her best to try to comfort me. She explained that very few people have actually ever met the God of War. Those that have didn't live very long. Although Peter has fought next to him he stayed behind him making sure that he never caught sight of him. Peter figured if he didn't see him then he would be alright. Nothing within Jasper's sight while in this state ever survived. Even Maria knew to stay away from him.

She went on to explain that it always took him a few days to calm down enough to come back to himself. She was worried because she had never known it to take this long. Of course she had never seen him NOT destroy the object of his anger either. The main problem is that not even Peter knew how to calm him down and so they were all risking their lives. I have no clue as to what I will do if he destroys all of those he considers friends and family. It will be all my fault and their blood or venom will be on my hands.

All I could do for now was wait and hope along with the other mates who were waiting and hoping that they would come back to us in one piece, and alive.

Peter's POV

While the trail of both Jasper and Charlie were old we were lucky that it hadn't rain and we could use it to follow. As we got further into the woods and away from the house we could see the trail of destruction that had been left in the wake of the God of War's anger. Sometimes it was just an area that had been destroyed and other times it was like he was uprootin' trees as he ran.

We continued to run for eight hours and as we were now in the mountains it seemed that humans were safe at least for now. We had come across hikers that hadn't been so lucky. He hadn't even bothered to drain them, he just ripped them apart, and left them thrown around.

We never saw any signs that he had caught Charlie followin' him. Charlie did promise to just follow him and not try to interact with him. He must be blamin' himself right now for the deaths of these humans as he's so much like Bella in that way, always takin' responsibility for bad things happenin'.

We did notice that the scents were gittin' stronger as we ran which meant we were gittin' closer. They must have either stopped, or slowed down otherwise we wouldn't have been able to actually catch up this quickly. It didn't take long to get close enough that Edward could pick up some thoughts.

He couldn't tell if they belonged to Charlie and Jasper as they were garbled. He could make out words, but it like they were all jumbled up and not makin' any sense. It didn't take long to find the area. We had to be careful. We couldn't just run in especially if the God of War was still in full rage mode.

We went around so that we could find a better way to check out what was goin' on before goin' in. The only thing we did know already was that there was a fire and some vampires had lost their lives in it. I was just hopin' that it was the unknown vampires that were in it.

When I finally was in position to be able to see what was goin' on without bein' seen myself well, shock it the only thing to describe what I was feelin' as I looked past the rocks. There was a huge fire goin' and some vampire parts scattered around.

My brother and friend was kneelin' on the ground and his body was shakin'. It was either from rage or my brother was back. I have a feelin' it was the latter as the vampire parts scattered around appeared to be Charlie. He had apparently ripped him apart. I couldn't tell if any of the parts had been burned but for his sake as well as his mate's I hoped not.

I decided that it was time to let him know that we were here. I stepped out slowly and then sent him my worry and tried to send some calm as well. It couldn't hurt. His head snapped up in my direction and I was shocked by what I saw in the face of my brother. He was indeed back but he wasn't doin' well at all.

His shakin' hadn't been from rage, but sobbin'. Although as vampires we can't shed tears but we can still feel the deep despair that causes us to sob from deep pain. Like the loss of someone we deeply care about. Of course Charlie wasn't completely lost unless some major body parts had been burned.

The first words out of Jasper's mouth almost made me want to cry for him, "Why? Why did I tear up someone that cares for me? How could I be so cruel as to even think about killin' my mate, and then rippin' her father apart. You know what brought me back? It was his last words that he spoke. He said, Jasper please come back. Just remember that I love you. You are a son to me. If this is what it takes for you to come back then I willingly give you my life. Just please tell Bella that I love her."

I went over to him and pulled him into a hug. This brother is the God of War but he continued to sob and I let him. I sent him the love I have for him and after a few minutes I spoke up, "First of all Charlie will be fine. Look Emmett and Edward are puttin' him back together right now. As for Bella it doesn't matter to her. She loves you and she's worried about that maybe you wouldn't ever come back. And, you also kept the God of War from killin' your mate. You were able to make him do somethin' that he's never done before. He allowed someone to live in spite of his anger. I truly believe that you stopped him somehow. The thing is that Bella loves you and she has already forgiven you. I think that you should know that she blames herself. She understands that her actions hurt you deeply, and she's willin' to try and make up to you for it. She said that you have nothin' to apologize for as everything is her fault.

I did explain to her that yeah her and Char's actions were bad but it was Maria who put all of us in this whole fucked up situation. They both know they did the wrong thing but they did it out of love, and wantin' to protect us. Just remember that the absolute need to protect our mates goes both ways. They also promised to never try that again. They will fight with us and not keep us out.

Now as you can see Charlie is back together but he needs blood and so do you. So, you should go and hunt and I will try to find an animal for him to drink from. Although human blood would help him heal faster. But we're out in the middle of fuckin' nowhere. So animal its gonna have to be."

"No. I was the one that almost killed the man that I see as a father so I will go and hunt for him. He'll be fed first. I refuse to feed until he has." Jasper told us.

He took off before I could ask about the other vampires that had been here. Well, family comes first so I guess it would have to wait until later. I couldn't ask Charlie right now as he was still healin' and in a lot of pain.

Jasper came back with a cougar and took it to Charlie and then helped him feed from it after snappin' its neck. As soon as he was done Jasper took off again for more blood. He was gone a bit longer this time but when he started towards us it looked like a big ass bear comin' towards us and he was mighty pissed off. Couldn't see Jasper from all of the bear he was carryin'. It was a grizzly and it was lookin' for a fight. Seems as he had tried to bite Jasper's head off and a few teeth were missin'.

Charlie was much better now but after he started on the bear he was almost good as new. He stopped when the bear was only half way empty and then told Jasper,"Son, please take the rest. I have enough for now. We can hunt on the way back. Please son you need to feed."

The thing is that Emmett, Edward, and I were watchin' somethin' that we had never ever seen. A newborn sharin' his meal with another vampire. We are territorial and will usually kill anyone tryin' to take or even come close while we are feedin'. Oh Jasper had tried to refuse but lost when Charlie told him if he wanted to make it up to him for what he did that he would take the rest.

Finally I asked if they were ready to tell us what the fuck had happened. As well as who in the hell were the vampires? Charlie said he didn't know. The only thing that he did know was that he got the pleasure of watchin' the God of War in action. He also got to be one of his victims or would have if he hadn't said what he did and brought Jasper back.

He had still been followin' him without him seein' him and was still hidden when they came across about ten newborns trainin'. There were three older vampires that apparently had a plan of revenge against another coven because of the female's mate had been killed tryin' to eat another vampire's mate. They were just about to try to attack the coven or so they said. The problem is that apparently even the God of War knew that they needed to be stopped. Their actions would probably be seen by too many humans and the Volturi would show up.

He told them that he wasn't gonna allow them to complete their mission. That's when the ten newborns attacked him. Charlie said he was about to step in and help when he saw that Jasper was havin' no problem even against that many. Even watchin' him rip a couple of them straight down the middle in half, startin' with their legs and rippin' upwards. Then usin' the half bodies like you would a baseball bat.

It was when the other three attacked that Charlie stepped in. They were all very strong fighters so Charlie was goin' to take one and give Jasper a better chance. Although I have a feelin' that the God of War had it all under control. Its a tactic that has worked hundreds of times. That's to make the enemy think they have the upper hand and then wait until they let their guard down.

Once the leaders were burnin' is when Jasper turned on Charlie. Jasper never even gave him a chance to speak before startin' to rip him apart. Charlie refused to fight for his life, and was bankin' on the fact that Jasper's love for his daughter and himself would stop him. He had been right.

Shortly after he had said what he did he stopped and Jasper was back and deeply hurt that he had nearly killed someone he considered a father. He kept apologizin' and Charlie finally had to shut him up by sayin' that he had forgiven him even before he came back to himself. The really funny shit came when Jasper said he couldn't understand why Charlie didn't hate him and Charlie finally turned to him and told him, "Son, I could never hate you. You are the love of my daughter's life and it would have destroyed her to have to lose you even to yourself. You are a good man, a very loving man. I see the love you have for not only Bella but everyone else as well. The only thing that I was worried about is if by killing me you still hadn't come back then my death would have been wasted. If that's what it took for you to come back then I would have allowed you to do it a thousand times if that's what it took. You Jasper are worth more than my life especially to Bella. I'm just grateful that you did come back. Now speaking of coming back I think its way past time to get our asses back home and to our mates."

"Whoa, Charlie just said asses!" Emmett said while laughin'.

"That's only because I've been around you and Peter way too fucking much. See?" Charlie replied while laughin' too.

We made our way back towards home and stopped to let Jasper and Charlie hunt some more. But we were all anxious to get back to our mates. I couldn't fuckin' wait to see the looks on their faces when they saw that it was Jasper who was back. They were gonna be so fuckin' excited!

We were all laughin' and just horsin' around while headin' home. When we were about ten miles away was when Edward felt it first and then Jasper. Edward roared and took off. Somethin' was very wrong. It was then that Jasper said he remembered somethin' that the female had said right before he ripped her head off, "This isn't over and you had better pray if you know what's good for."

We took off after Edward at vampire speed. Edward being the fastest got there first and we heard his spine tinglin' roar. We were there only a few seconds later and we all saw red. There were at least thirty or more newborns fightin' the girls, and Carlisle. They were losin' as most of them had not been taught how to fight multiple vampires.

When Edward finally saw his mate Lillian she was missin' and arm and was still fightin' off a vampire male. You could tell what he had intentions of doin' just by the fact that he was tryin' to rip her clothes off. Edward had him and had his head off before he even knew that we were there.

After that we were all fightin' and tryin' to find our mates at the same time. It didn't take long for the Major to find his and he wasn't happy. I couldn't tell you why just that the roar that came out of him was the most feral sound I've ever heard him make. Shit, the God of War is back. . .

A/N Please tell me what you think is going to happen next. I must apologize again for the lateness of posting this chapter. Not only has my husband been healing but now I'm very sick myself. I thought the problem had been taken care of but it wasn't the infection I had that was causing the pain. I'm going to post this and then my daughter will be taking me to the emergency room. The medicine was making me even sicker and I finally had to stop taking it because I was having symptoms of an LSD trip. Seeing things, hearing things and not being able to focus on what was being said. In the meantime the pain was becoming worse not better. Its now so bad that I can't move without it starting up. Hopefully I can find out what the problem is and get it taken care of quickly so I can go back to work and to writing. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed, and added this story to their favorites and alerts, I love you guys.
