A few days later, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett are ready to head to Alaska. When Jasper had come to both Peter and I with his request, we were shocked. He pleaded his case that he felt better explaining the situation to the Denali coven himself. Considering he was once part of the Cullen coven and he was responsible for Alice's death, he thought they would more easily believe him over Rosalie and Emmett. Having just them go with perhaps Garrett didn't leave him satisfied. I was ready to argue but Peter pulled me close and agreed with Jasper. I hated the idea of fighting them both but then Peter had to be his cryptic self.

"It's the only way I see them agreeing. They are here in my vision when the Volturi come, but it's not easy getting them here, that much I know. I always knew it was going to be Jasper going, but he had to accept that himself. Do either of you think if I went to Jasper and suggested he go, how would that go over?"

When he put it like that, there was no arguing. Of course before he left, we made sure to make love during a hunting trip. I think it would be a little while before we tried an actual bed. My newborn strength was still bit worse for ware at the moment. I couldn't get dressed on my own without breaking the buttons and ripping the front of a dress. Thankfully each dress that was ruined during hunting or by my strength were no goes for me anyway.

Peter and I stood together as Jasper came out of the house. Rosalie and Emmett were talking with Garrett. All three hoped they wouldn't be gone longer than a couple of days. Peter had given Jasper a cell phone with his number programmed in. Of course it was all untraceable so we couldn't be found by the Volturi or anyone else. Even though Maria's vampires had no useful information to give, we were all still on alert. It was the reason I felt strange about Jasper leaving. Though I trusted his and Peter's judgement over everyone else. Unfortunately, I knew if something was going to happen, Peter wouldn't tell me the same as he always did about his feelings, he would just react.

Jasper stopped in front of us giving a tight smile. I think he could feel my worried and frazzled emotions. He stopped at Peter first and I took that as my cue. Pressing a kiss to Peter's cheek, I raced over to Garrett, Rose, and Emmett. I didn't feel bad about giving Jasper and Peter a moment. I could read it on both their faces that they needed it. Not exactly as if they would have privacy among vampires, but we all appreciated the semblance.

"Try to keep him out of trouble while we're gone," Rosalie said, nodding in Garrett's direction.

"I think that might be hard. He's usually the one getting us into trouble." I gave him a smirk thinking back to the blurred images of our first meeting. "One of these days I'm gonna have to tell you how we met." Garrett's eyes went wide as he nervously looked over at Peter and Jasper. Of course Jasper probably knew in some regard how it had happened but to save Garrett neither of us had ever mentioned it.

"I'm gonna hold you to that." Rose looked over at Emmett. I enjoyed how much they were different but loved each other so much. Rose was a virtual ice queen, took a long time to get past her defenses. Emmett, however, was a fluff ball teddy bear, open to anything and everything. I loved how they complimented each other.

"You both have to promise me something, though." My voice went low and my nerves set in. They shared a look and nodded together before I even asked. "Just look out for him. He might not always see the danger. If anything is about to go wrong, don't get in front of his demon, don't get hurt. He would never forgive himself for that. Otherwise, when something goes wrong, before he changes, get him out of there. I don't need Eleazar that bad it means any of you giving your lives."
