-Jasper's Point of View-

. . .

As we pulled up to Emmaline's house I took notice of the cars in the driveway as well as the darkness of the house, I didn't like the vibe I was getting, then again Emmaline has stated how "unclose" she and her mother are, so maybe that's the aura I'm picking up on.

I pulled the car into park and killed the ignition as my phone began to ring. My heart raced, no one ever calls anymore, now that i'm with Emmaline everyone knows where I'm at, so that only meant that it's bad news.

She seemed to wait on me to answer it.

"Go on ahead, I don't want to be talking on the phone when I meet your mother."

She agreed before leaning over and giving me a kiss, she exited the car and I waited until I saw her go inside, I didn't want anything to be overheard on the off chance that something is bad, I didn't want to ruin her evening.

I finally looked down at my phone and saw it was Alice so I pressed the talk button.

"Ally?" I answered out if habit.

"Jasper, it's Emmaline, I had a vision-"

A high pitched scream sliced through the night and I dropped my phone and bolted into the house, I watched as two vampires ran off, a man and a woman, the woman looked back and I got a clear look at her face.

My first instinct was to run after them, to kill them.

"Jasper."

The small whisper pulled me back to reality, I crouched down and saw the blood, it didn't even register as a thirst. I listened and could barely hear her heart.

I scooped her body up as carefully as I could, I held her against my body as I ran all the way home.

"Carlisle!" I yelled.

Everyone in the house ran into the living room to find me holding the blood covered Emmaline.

Their emotions were everywhere but the only ones that registered were my own.

Anger.
Sadness.
Guilt.

Carlisle stepped forward and began assessing the bite, "her heartbeat is weak, she only has about a minute or two."

"She was attacked, I know who did this, change her!"

"Is this somethi-"

"She told me tonight, she told me she wanted to be with me forever." I confessed as I looked down at her beautiful face, if I could cry I would be sobbing.

"Just give her your venom, they've taken so much of her blood that it needs to be done now, but only give her your venom, don't drink any of her blood, anymore gone and her heart will stop before the venom has time to spread."

"You do it." I insisted.

"We don't have time to argue, you can so this son, but it has to be now." Carlisle said.

I lifted her wrist up to my mouth and kissed the soft skin before I let my teeth sink in. The slight pop of the flesh bing pierced was a sound I was all too familiar with, and mixed with the smell of the newly opened skin made my mouth involuntarily fill with venom.

My throat tingled to drink but I silenced the beast inside of me as I looked into the gorgeous face of my Emmaline.

The tingle extinguished and the venom leaked into the bite.

"That's good Jasper, now seal it shut and we wait to see if it will spread in time."

I licked the fresh bite mark before I kissed it.

"Who did this?" Emmett growled.

"Her mother."

I had spent so much time at Emmaline's house that I know every square inch of that house including every single item in it. This includes pictures, and Emmaline's mother like to illuminate the facade of having the perfect family, so family portraits were placed around the house, while I've never met her mother it was a face I had grown accustomed to from the pictures.

Edward must've heard my thoughts because he was the one that explained everything.

I got up and carried Emmaline's body up stairs to my room. I laid her down and then got into the bed next to her.

I kissed her temple and broke down.

"Don't leave me Darlin." I whispered, "please baby, you can't leave me, I can't go on without you." My eyes glossed as they filled with unshedable tears.

"We're going back to the house, to clean up and see if we can track their scent." Jacob said, Emmett and Edward stood behind him.

"What do you want us to do if we find them?" Edward asked.

'Kill them' I thought, Edward looked at me and then his eyes fell to Emmaline. I knew he was silently asking me if that's what she would want. "If you find them, find out what happened, was her boyfriend a vampire the entire time or were they both recently changed, once they say what they have to say tell them to leave and don't ever come back, because if they ever approach my Emmaline again I won't be able to control myself, they will die by own hands."

They nodded and left.

A while later a light knock came from the door, I lifted my head and saw the girls, "we wondered if you would like for us to clean her up for you?" Esme said as she held a large glass bowl, Renesme held soap and shampoo, Rosalie carried a towel.

"Yeah, and Edward brought one of her dresses back incase you might want to get her out of the bloody clothes." Bella stated as she slightly held up a dress, even folded and draped over her arm I recognized it easily.

I mindlessly nodded and got up from the bed.

I turned my back to them as I found I couldn't tear myself away from the room, they went to work on her and not too long after they finally told me they were done.

I turned to find her laying there like a princess in a deep slumber, I was grateful for every rise and fall of her chest, because it meant that her heart was still beating, this means my venom will surely spread in time.

The sun had risen and time seemed to go by.

I held her hand for my own comfort as I laid next to her body, every beat of her heart pulsed through her veins and I felt them as I held her hand.

I needed a feed but I refused to leave her side.

Then I noticed that her pulse no longer thumped in my hand, I placed my ear to center if her chest in an attempt to find what I knew was no longer there.

Carlisle and Edward rushed into the room, the rest of the family right behind them.

"W-what's happening?"

"Her heart has stopped," Carlisle told me what I already knew as he examined her body.

I let go of her hand as I covered my mouth, "it's too soon" I croaked, "w-what if the venom didn't spread?"

"It worked" he smiled.

I let out an involuntary sigh of relief. "Are you sure?" I asked hopefully.

"Yes, the bite on her neck is completely healed over, touch her skin, it isn't nearly as warm as she use to be, and she is slightly heavier now."

I picked up her hand once more, he was right. Upon closer inspection I noticed that her skin was "perfected", this included her freckles fading away, her plump pink lips looked velvet soft, and her reddish brown hair took on a whole new level of waves and shine.

Her long lashes were dark and full and I knew that when she opened her eyes they would no longer surround her precious Hazel eyes, but the eerie red eyes, trademark of a newborn.

"She can wake up at any time, maybe we should give them some privacy." Bella offered.

As soon as they left I used vamp speed to get out of my grungy clothes and then I pulled on a fresh outfit, I ran into the bathroom and fixed my hair to the way she liked it and then returned to the bed room.

I grabbed the desk chair and pulled it to her side of the bed, I sat there patiently, night seemed to fall as I sat still and finally she opened her eyes.

She looked around and then her gaze stopped on me.

"Jasper?"
