~Chapter Five~

Standing in the airport, after being in India for two days, to gather the ingredients that we needed, Jasper hurries over to me, beaming at me as he scoops up my bag from my grasp, pressing a kiss to my lips. "Happy to be home?" I tease.

"More than you know." He answers, the two of us hurry towards the door to the airport, climbing into the Jaguar in the parking lot, we start towards the house, before hurrying inside. Where Bella is sitting with Edward, Garrett is standing behind Jennifer, while Carlisle and the others sit in a circle around the room.

"Did you get the ingredients?" Jennifer asks.

"No, we were gone for two days for a vacation." I tease, crossing to the middle of the room, the set the bags on the floor.

"Jasper, may we speak a moment?" Carlisle asks, my mate moves away as the Jennifer joins me to remove the ingredients from the bag, setting the spell up in a hurry. I glance at Jasper, who is speaking with Edward, Carlisle, and Emmett, the four of them are speaking so quietly and quickly, that I can't catch any of the words they're saying. As soon as they're done, we start to cast the spell on Sheryl's wedding ring, the only thing that Jennifer could get.

Crossing the cafeteria at school, Alice, Jasper, Jennifer, and I sit beside Bella and Edward, while all of Bella's friends watch us warily, Jessica is glaring at me in particular, her eye had just stopped swelling last monday, having started to go down today. "I've decided to throw a party." Alice states.

"After all, how many times do we graduate from high school?" Jasper says, smirking as I press a hand to my mouth, muffling my laughter as Bella sighs.

"A party, at your guys' house? I've never seen your guys' house." Angela says.

"Nobody has." Jessica answers.

"Bella, Jennifer, and I have." I retort.

"Really, Alice, another party?" Edward asks.

"It'll be fun!" Alice promises.

"That's what you said about, the last one." Bella answers, everyone looks over at her, before Alice leans back, getting a far off look in her eye, telling me that she's paying attention to the future. "Hey, Angela, do you need any help with those?" Bella asks, reaching for one of the graduation invites before the shy girl as I glance up at Jasper, whose eyes are on my face, concern in his copper orbs. Just as the bell rings, Jasper pulls me to my feet, leaving our trays on the table, he rushes us out of the cafeteria, down the hall, and out the door towards the Jaguar, Jennifer is hurrying to follow behind us.

"Jasper? Jazz, what's wrong?" I manage to ask, my fear evident as my eyes land on his face, it's contorted with barely concealed rage as he pens the door to the car, pointing to the seat.

"Get in." He orders.

"What? No." I state, causing his copper eyes to burst with flames of anger, a hint of lust behind the anger.

"Get. In. Lilith." He growls as I cross my arms, raising an eyebrow at him.

"I'm not someone you can just order around, Jasper Whitlock, now tell me what is going on!" I snarl back, causing his lip to curl in anger.

"You're not getting answers, until we're in private. Now, get in the damn car, darlin, before I throw you in!" My eyes narrow at his threat, climbing in I wrench the door from his grip, slamming it shut, buckling in as I cross my arms over my chest, Jennifer slides into the backseat, buckling up as Jasper rounds to the driver's side, climbing in he starts the car, taking off down the road towards the house, but instead of all of us climbing out, he drops Jennifer off, before swerving around, whipping dirt up in a cloud, and taking off down the road as an uneasy, overly heavy silence hangs over our heads.

"We're in private." My statement causes him to jolt, as though forgetting I am here completely, looking over at me as the speedometer reaches 110, and we pass the town's welcome sign. "Where are we going?!" I demand.

"Somewhere safe." He answers, being vague on purpose.

"Where is somewhere safe?" I look at him, as he turns away, eyes hard as they land on the road. "What is going on, my love?" He sighs, easing up on the accelerator as he pulls off to the side of the road, letting the car some to a crawling stop.

"I am taking you to a friend's, a couple of nomads that I trust in explicitly…" He looks down, hands clenching the steering wheel. "You'll stay there for a week, it's… it's for safety."

"Why won't you just tell me what's going on?!" I ask, finally getting exasperated.

"Victoria is coming, sometime this week, and I won't let her touch you, let alone get within a state of you." Jasper answers.

"Now? Why now?" I ask, my voice comes out softly.

"Why else?" He asks.

"To kill Bella and I." I answer, looking down as his head snaps over to me as I let out a sigh. "I can fight. I'm not just any old Louise Lane, I can be Annie Oakley too." His lips quirk up at my references as he reaches over, stroking my cheek as his sighs, sounding resigned.

"I know you want to fight, but I can't let you endanger yourself like that. Just, this time, let me take you somewhere safe." He asks, his ocher eyes smoldering with love as I frown, looking down for a moment, before an idea pops into my head.

"On two conditions." I state, holding up two fingers.

"I swear that they will be followed." He nods.

"First, and foremost: Be safe. Be careful. No being reckless." I pointedly look him in the eyes as he chuckles, then nods.

"Done. What's the second one?" He asks.

"I get to fight alongside the family, next time the need arises." I state, my tone of voice determines that this is not up for debate.

"No." He states.

"Then, I won't go. I will walk back to Forks." I state, reaching for the door handle, to open the door, when the locks slide down, and into place. "These are my conditions, Jasper, take them or leave them." I can see his resolve is crumbling, like a cookie, before his relents with a sigh.

"Fine." He consents, causing me to beam, leaning back in my seat.

"You'll bring me my school work, and a bag of clothes, right?" I ask as he steers the car back into his lane, directing the car towards it's destination.

"Yes, I swear." He answers.

"And, my potion supplies?" He nods as I lean back into my seat, victoriously.

"You are lucky I love you." He says.

"I love you too." I smirk at him, causing him to groan, rolling his eyes.

"There will be no living with you now, will there?" He teases.

"Nope." I answer with a complacent smirk.

"I thought not." He chuckles.

"Love you."

"Love you too."
