Bella PoV

When I got to the sparkle that reminded me of Edward or the Cullens, a few things went through my head. The words Edward said to me then and the Cullens who didn't say goodbye to me. That oh-so-familiar sparkle hurt somehow, even though I thought I'd left you behind long ago, it had been almost a year, shouldn't it be enough?

Now I went closer and slowly realized that it was a male being. And he looked kind of familiar to me. He had honey blond hair and was 1.90m tall. But something was different. His eyes, once golden, were now as red as rubies. He had drunk human blood, and besides, he was on the road without his Alice. "Jasper?" I murmured, confused. What was he doing here?

His eyes were slowly fixed on me and he was silent for a while before he spoke to me "Hello Bella" I just stared at him. One year, and all he says is Hello Bella, what a joke. After a few minutes I just nodded, I was too caught up in my thoughts to say anything. After a short time, I pulled myself together and looked at him. "Are you here all by yourself or are the others with you?" He slowly approached me and I backed away, suddenly reminded that I didn't want to sit down with the fantasy stuff anymore. He stopped and just replied "no, I broke up with the coven after I found out that Edward had lied to us and no one believed me when I told them. He told us that you left him and couldn't stand us anymore."

I had to laugh. As if I had left Edward. Well, I wanted to, but I never dared. "I hadn't left him, even though I'd wanted to for a long time. I had never dared. But it hurt me when you just left without saying goodbye to me" Jasper nodded "that's what I thought" He sighed "unfortunately the others only see their perfect Edward" I nodded, "what about your eyes and why are you here?" He stared deep into my eyes "I now drink from people again, but only from criminals, so my control has improved. And I'm here because of you, Bella"

I nod, "but you must know that I don't want the supernatural anymore." He just looks at me.

Jasper Pov

We'll see, Bella. I had to grin inwardly. I'll make sure that she is interested in vampires and co. again. My eyes slid over her body. She had changed. Better clothing style and a sporty body. Edward was really stupid to throw the girl away. After Alice found her mate and I found out the truth about Bella, I left the Cullens. Now that I was drinking human blood again, my senses sharpened and I realized who Bella was to me. She was my Mate, but now that she don't isn't into the Supernatural anymore, thinks would be hard. It would be hard to Convince her. But I will accept this challenge. She's going to fall in love with me and somehow we would be two loving vampire against the rest of the World.
