"THAT'S TRUE, FELIX" Aro agrees, ordering one of his vampire minions to kill us. Before they get a chance Jasper and Edward start attacking the guards. Two vampires hold both Edward and Jasper in a head lock, they're skin cracking.
"No. No please!" Bella yells at Aro. "Kill me, not them" I say. "How extraordinary. You would give up your life for someone like us, a vampire" Aro says stepping closer to me. "A soulless monster" he adds.
"Get away from her" Jasper yells. "This is sadness, if only your intentions were to give them mortality" he says to Jasper and Edward. "Wait! They will be one of us, I've seen it, I'll change them both myself" Alice yells. Aro signals for her to step forward and he takes her hand reading her thoughts.
"Mesmerizing, to see what you have seen before it has happened." "Go now, make your preparations." he says. Jasper comes and takes my hand as we walk out of the church.
Jasper's pov:
After I dropped Nova back at her house, I watched over her. When I heard breathing become slower I climbed into her room, and there it was, the faint smell, a werewolf.
I sniffed out the scent to find a black men's shirt in the corner of her room. I frowned not knowing Nova was awake until she spoke "It's Paul Lahote's" she admits. "He imprinted on me" She tells me. I clench my jaw and ball up my fists as she explains. "It happened one time and then I told him I just wanted to be friends" she says looking down.
I physically relax and sit by her side "I understand" I say. I would have been upset if she left me and if she being with a werewolf made it easier for her, I understand.
Nova smiles and takes my hand "Promise me jazz, promise me you'll never leave again" she whispers seriously. I nod and kiss the back of her hand "it's always just us, okay?" I whisper.
"Okay"...

I stood by Bella's side at the Cullen's house as we were taking a vote at whether or not we should become vampires.
"I think you all know what we want, and we think the only fair way is a vote" Bella says as I nod.
"You guys don't know what you're talking about" Edward mutters from behind us. Me and Bella turn around and both say "Shut up.." Jasper smirks at me as I turn around.
"Alice?" I ask. "Well, I already consider you my sisters" she says and gives us a hug each. "I vote yes, it would be nice not to want to kill you all the time" Sam says smiling slightly.
"I'm sorry for the way I've acted towards you Bella and I'm really grateful you both saved my brothers but this isn't a life I would have chosen for myself and even though you're my best friend Nova, I wish there was someone to vote no for me. So, no" she says an apologetic look on her face as she looks at me.
I smile with a nod, completely understanding. "I vote hell yeah!" Emmett says and picks me up with a spin. "I already consider you both a part of the family. Yes" Esme says. I give her a hug as Bella smiles at her.
"You've both chosen not to live with the girls, which leaves me with no choice, I will not loose my sons" Carlisle says confirming as a yes.
I thank them and go to find Rose once Edward and Bella leave.
I find her sitting outside on the steps. I sit next to her and put my hand on hers "Are you okay?" I ask. She sighs and turns to me "Have I ever told you how I became a vampire?" she asks.
I shake my head "No but you don't have to, if it makes you uncomfortable" I say. She looks to me with a smile but shakes her head "Royce King was the most eligible bachelor in town, I barely knew him but I was young, I was in love with the idea of love. On the last night of my life I left a friend's house late. I wasn't far from home. They left me in the street, thinking I was dead. Believe me, I wanted to be, Carlisle found me, he smelt all the blood. Thought he was helping me" she says.
I put an arm around her "I'm sorry" I say. "I got my revenge on them. One at a time, saved Royce for last so he knew I was coming. I was a little theatrical back then. Things got better when I found Emmett. But we'll always be this, frozen, never moving forward. That's what I miss the most, possibilities. Sitting on a porch, Emmett grey-haired by my side. Surrounded by our grandchildren, their laughter" she says.
"I'm so sorry that happened to you Rose. If I was there I would have killed that bastard." I say. She laughs quietly as I pull her into a hug.

"Are you sure, it's what you want?" Jasper asks again. I groan and throw my head back "Jazz, you've asked me that like ten times since we got in the car, and yes it is, I just want to be with you okay" I say.
He nods and places his hand on my thigh "Okay, darling" he says making my heart flutter. "I have one request though?" he says. I turn to him as he pulls over to give me all his attention. "What is it?"
