Bella's POV

"Bella!" Jasper exclaims. I hug him, enveloped in his familiar scent. I relax for the first time in a long time. The throbbing in my chest eases slightly. Then we break apart and the pain is back.

"Jasper, Hi. Umm... I need help." I start. He takes my arm and leads me to the forest. I tell him the entire story. His eyes darken.

"I'll kill that fucker!" He roars and rips up a tree. The thought brings a fresh wave of impossible pain. I clutch my chest, choking on my heartbreak. He takes a deep breathe.

"Sorry." He mutters. I shake my head, showing it's ok. I still can't talk clearly. "Ah, what exactly do you want me to do for you?" He asks. I clear my throat.

"I need somewhere to go. Not here. Though I want to talk to Edward. But after..." I trail off. He nods.

"I have an idea..." He says. I perk up, I was expecting a dead end. He smiles at my expression.

"Anything." I say. I'm desperate. Beggars can't be choosers.

"Two friends. Peter and Charlotte. Also, Bella, about Edward.." He says. I raise an eyebrow. "I'll take you in." He murmurs. I nod, but inside I'm throwing a party. We open the door. After being in Volterra this seems small. Humble.

"Edward, umm...someone's here to meet you." Jasper says at a normal volume. In a flash he's down. His bronze hair is ridiculously mussed, his expression shows shock. Jasper looks extremely uncomfortable.

"Edward?" A high pitched voice calls. He softens slightly.

"I'm here-" He barely finishes before a petite yet cute girl at his side. I notice a bite on her neck, and one on his. He's mated! I smile.

"Congratulations!" I say, and for once, I mean it with all my heart. His mouth twitches.

"I'm Isabella." I say and hold out my hand to the girl. She smiles and shakes it.

"I'm Alison. Nice to meet you." She says chirpily. This is all I needed. I tug on Jaspers arm.

"I'm ready to go." I say. He looks down at me and we walk to the door. My hand barely touched before I hear Edward calling my name. I look back.

"Are you okay?" He asks me. I grin.

"Better than ever." I say. In that moment my pain disappears. I've done the right thing. One demon gone, one to go. Peter and Charlotte here I come.
