Y/n POV

Bella and I were walking around the surrounding area of the battle field the following day, leaving drops of our blood on trees, leaves, rocks anything we could find. All it took was a small prick to every finger with a needle and I was able to leave my scent behind drawing the newborns in with something a little bit more tempting than my scent alone.

"23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30." I counted each step, stopping at thirty and tapping my cane left to right till it hit the base of a tree. My finger still bled from my last pin prick making it easier for me to reach out and press the finger into the tree, smearing it with my blood.

"You're doing too much." Jasper's voice suddenly sounds behind, me making me yelp not expecting him to be done from checking the perimeter.

"Jasper." I exclaimed as I turned to his voice recollecting myself. "If this is all I can contribute, I wanna be thorough." I reply, using my cane to walk closer to him.

When I'm within arms length I feel his intense gaze on me. A long inhale came from him as he spoke stiffly.

"The new borns'll be frantic." He comments with a strained voice.

"Sorry." I say taking a plaster from my pocket and quickly wrapping it around my finger that continued to bleed. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." I whisper.

"It's fine." He says taking both my hands in his as he holds them up. Each digit wrapped in a plaster. "It doesn't bother me anymore." He lies not wanting to worry the girl as he placed a kiss on my knuckles.

"Since when?" I quirk a brow at him.

"Since I spent 24 hours thinking you were dead." I scoff at the memory. "Paul will be here soon." He whispers thumbs running along my knuckles.

"Is there no way I can convince you to sit this one out. Be with me away from the fight." I comment stepping closer to his coldness.

"I wish I could. It would make things a lot more easier for me knowing I was there to protect you... but as much as I want to keep you safe, I also need to protect my family. I'm sorry." He says to me as he connects our forehead.

"Don't apologise for doing the right thing. You're a good man Jasper. I have faith in you that you'll win this fight and when it's all over you know where I'll be, waiting for you." I replied, hand coming up to the back of his neck as I closed my eyes and stood on my tiptoes.

My lips ghosted his as I spoke.

"When this is all over we should go somewhere, take a trip and get away for a while. Just the two of us." He whispers back, hands gripping my waist as he pulls me in.

"Hmm, I can get on board with that idea." I chuckle humming as our lips finally connect in the much anticipated kiss we were leading up to.

It lasts only a few seconds before the sound of a twig snapping pulls us out of our moment. Jasper clears his throat as he steps back a bit allowing a small space between us.

"It's time." Paul's deep voice echos off to our left near the tree line.

Expelling a breath from my lungs I reach up and turn Jasper's face back to me with a smile upon my lips, despite the worry creasing my brows.

"Be safe out there." I tell him, hands tracing each feature on his face embedding them into my memory. "Come get me as soon as it's all over." I say trying to hold my tears back.

"I will. I love you." He reassures hands cupping my own cheeks as his thumbs wipe the stray tears which fall. "I'll see you soon." He bids to me, placing a long kiss on my forehead. When he pulls away I reluctantly step back and stretch out a hand as I walk in the direction I had heard Paul's voice.

"Keep her safe Paul." Jasper says to the man scooping me up into his arms.

"Always planned to." Paul says. I finish folding my cane, hands hook over Paul's shoulders.

"Ready." He asked me.

"Yeah." I reply quietly. Paul begins to run, taking off into the woods and towards the location the Cullens and the wolves had agreed would be a safe place for Bella and I to hide.
