Twilight A Different Kind of Remorse

War Is Coming

"Jane please listen to me..." Alec tried for the third time today to talk to Jane. Jane still had Kristina's words lingering in her mind. Of course she still wasn't convinced she had to know for herself, Alec wasn't helping by continuing to bug her.

She was about to turn her powers on him to get him to go away but I put my hand up to stop the commotion, "Alec maybe we should just let her be, come back to Forks with me and help me prepare with the Cullens." I said to him and he gently pecked my lips. 

"Alright Esto, I'll be there in a minute let me say goodbye to my sister." He said and turned back to Jane as I walked away. "Look Jane I know you don't want to discuss this or fight or argue, but please consider it, for me you know I love you always. Goodbye sister I hope to see you joining me soon." With that he left to join me and Jane sighed knowing she didn't have long before she must make an honest decision. 

She knew she had to talk to Jasper.

Alec, Kristina, and I arrived at the Cullens who were rather wary of him at first but he quickly told them he believed in their innocence and would stand with them. With Alec and his power we would be unstoppable. 

"Where's Alice?" I asked after not seeing her around for a while and Bella sighed and looked at me sadness in her eyes. 

"She's gone, no one knows where she went..." Bella responded and we all looked at each other. Why would Alice disappear when we needed her more then anyone?

"Alright let's think of our next move what should we do?" I asked and Jacob was the first to respond. 

"We need to train to take in order to prepare in case it comes to a fight, I know we want to avoid that but we should still be prepared." He said and we all nodded in agreement. 

"Well Alec, seems you have the inside scoop on what we should be prepared for what do we need to know?" Carlise asked and Alec took a deep breath. 

"I can't promise anything I'm hoping Jane is going to change her mind and join this side. If she doesn't she's the one we need to be the most concerned about. Most of the others are strong but not they are useless without Jane and I. They rely on our power." He said and we all nodded, they stood no chance in a fight without Jane and Alec. 

Jasper sighed leaving the room, he didn't like hearing about Jane currently. Sure he knew it would be hard for her but for all he has faced...he never knew how hard it would be for him. 

"Well maybe we should gather witnesses to." Bella suggested and we all looked at her confused.

"What do you mean Bella?" We asked and she smiled.

"We could get as many other vampires as we can who can witness to the fact we are innocent. We don't have to ask them to fight, but just ask them to vouch for us." She suggested and Carlise nodded in agreement. 

"You make a fair point Bella, Kristina you know many vampires across the world as much as I do, think you could help?" He asked and she nodded.

"Yes, I believe I can. We should travel in groups though, to be safe." She looked towards me and I nodded standing up. 

"Alright Leah, Paul, Carlise, and Esme you go in one group. Bella, Alec, Kristina, and I will go in another. Jacob, Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper in another." I said and we all agreed.

We began preparing for our long journey tomorrow knowing we couldn't stop at anything, because war was coming.

Jasper looked out his window into the moonlight, he was thinking about Jane again wondering if she would change her mind. It was in the distance that he saw something glinting, he knew he was being signaled. 

As much as he was worried it was a trap, he had a feeling he needed to go. He left out his window and searched for the glinting thing in the woods. He listened for rustles and he quickly but suddenly was overwhelmed by another's emotions. That's when he turned to see her.

She was in the moonlight her robes flowing behind her and her face was illuminated by the light.

"Jane?" He said and she turned to look at him.

"Hello Jasper."
