Chapter 12: Bella's in Trouble

Jasper's POV

As Alice and I were riding in the elevator to help Bella, Katherine, and Dax with their bags,  I couldn't get rid of this horrible feeling in my chest.  It was as if a hole was forming and it was getting bigger by the minute.  Something was wrong.  

Suddenly, Alice gasps next to me.  A vision was coming.  I hold on to her and make sure doesn't lose her balance.  When she snaps back to her original state, she looks at me in pure fear. 

"Daxy."

I frown at her, what did she see? 

As soon as the doors open, she takes off at vampire speed to our room.   I follow her in the same speed and we reached our room. Bella, Dax, and Katherine were gone.

I jerk to see behind us. Carlisle, Edward, and Emmett arrived.

Edward frowns, "Where's Bella?" His fear skyrocket.

"Jasper!" Alice calls out from the mini kitchen and paces over to us with a note. "They're gone. Bella left and Dax and Katherine went to get her." She panics.

I read the note carefully. How could Bella do this?!

"They went to a ballet studio?" Edward asks in confusion as he reads our mind.

"Alice had a vision that the tracker was going to a ballet studio. One that Bella use to attend to here in Phoenix." I say to Carlisle and Emmett.

"Why would Bella go to where James is?" Emmett frowns.

"I don't think she had a choice. James must have threatened her. Tricked her someway." Carlisle says.

"Bella was trying to get a hold of Renée. Maybe James have her?" Alice suggests.

"No, Esme called, she talked to Charlie. Renée lost her phone. She's in Florida now with her husband, Phil." Carlisle says.

"But, she was in Phoenix recently. She was setting up last minute decisions about the house. She's selling it." Edward says.

"James must have broken into the old house and stole her phone. Using something there to trick Bella." Alice says.

"That's possible." Carlisle nods.

"We need to find the studio." I growl out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Dax swooping down ^^^)

Dax's wings swooshed through the air as we come to a stop and land behind a building in front of the studio. Dax puts me to my feet and I sniffed the air.

"Bella's here already." I say.

"So is James." Dax growls out, still in dire form.

"I'll go in first." I turn and look at him. "You stay here in case the Cullens come. But, better dress first." I say as I take off running towards the building.

I couldn't go through the front door. James could do something to Bella. So, I take a few steps back and run and jump swiftly up to find another way in. I managed to find a balcony entrance and carefully walked inside. I could hear voices.

"...She's not even here." Bella's voice trembled with fear.

James chuckles evilly. I crouch down and move slowly so I couldn't be seen. I see James pressing Bella against away, leaning over her as she looks away from him in terror and disgust.

"Sorry...But you really made it too easy." James smirks. "So...to make things more entertaining, we are gonna make a little film of our time together." He holds up a small hand held camera. "I borrowed this from your house. I hope you don't mind." He chuckles. "Okay...And...Action!" He turns it on and begins to record her. "That will break Edward's little heart."

Bella stutters in anger, she couldn't even keep a word straight, "Edward has nothing to do with this!" She shouts and James presses her against the wall again.

"He does... His rage will leave for more interesting sport than his feeble attempt to protect you." He smirks evilly. "And let's continue."

I watch Bella discreetly take out her mace and quickly sprays James face. It didn't even effect him. He just growls as she begins to run away, then jumps into the air and lands in front of her before she could make it out the door. He grabs her by her neck and throws her across the floor, making her slide and crash into a beam.

Bella groans and tries to sit up, but I could smell the blood coming from her. She touches the side of her hand and her hand is smeared with blood.

"Beautiful... Very visually dynamic. I chose my stage well." James smiles and walks towards her as she sits up and leans on the beam. He kneels down and grips her bloodied hand, inhaling her scent. She tries to yank her hand back, but he was too strong for her.

"It's too bad he didn't have the strength to turn you. Instead he kept you this fragile little human. It's cruel, really." He smirks.

He keeps smiling at her, then with a harsh slam of his foot, he shatters her leg. I could hear the bones breaking. She cries out in pain, gasping at the impact.

THAT'S IT!!!

I jump up on the balcony edge and down on to the floor. With a loud roar, I rush towards James, slamming into him. We both take off way on the other side of the studio where Bella couldn't see me. I slam him against the wall, growling lowly.

"Hi, James. Nice to see you again. Not nice to hurt my friend." I snarl as my eyes glow bright neon green.

With a grunt, James uses a foot to shove me away and I slam backwards against a wall and he rushes to hold me down.

"My, my. Human...yet, not." He smirks in my face. "What ARE you?" He inhales against my neck.

I break out of his hold and punch him hard into his stomach, then backhand him in the face hard, making his skin crack like marble.

"Get away from her." I growl lowly. My fangs protruding from my mouth.

"Come on, sweets. What's your secret?" He purrs and smirks.

I growl loudly, which only made him laugh.

"So much power you carry. I wonder if Jasper will share." He smirks.

My entire body trembles with such anger, I roar as loudly as I could and rush at him and slam him into a mirror. With me on top of him, I punched him over and over. I wanted him to feel pain.

"YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM HIM!" I scream in his face and pound him again till he grabs my arm and twists it. I yell in pain as my bones break and he yanks on my arm hard and throws me against a wall. I slide down and lean on it. I couldn't move my arm. I grunt in pain and growl at him as he walks by, smirking down at me.

"I'll save you for last. You can watch me and Bella. I love an audience." He smirks and picks up the camera, brushing off dust and turning it back on.

I grip my arm and snap the bones back in place, yowling in pain. But, I still couldn't move it. It was dislocated. Dislocation is extremely hard to heal. It takes a long time. I snap my head up as I begin to sense Edward. He was here.

James chuckles as he continues to record Bella as she withers in pain on the floor.

"Tell Edward how much it hurts." James chuckles. "Tell him to avenge you. Tell him!"

"Edward, don't!" Bella whimpers out.

"Tell him! Tell him!" James roars at her.

Suddenly, Edward comes out of the shadows and slams into James. Making him fly back. James quickly gets up and crouches at him. Edward snaps his head towards Bella and sees the blood on her hands. She was hurt. His face carried such sadness for her. Such pain. It was enough to let James rush at him and slam him into a mirror beam.

"You're alone...'cause you're faster than the others...but not stronger." James growls and slams Edward's head against the glass.

"I'm strong enough to kill you." Edward growls and shoves James away and kicks him till he's flying back and crashing into a mirror. Giving Edward a chance to get to Bella. He rushes over to her and picks her up gently.

"I'm sorry." He whispers brokenly to her.

Edward runs and jumps up into the air, but James catches him by his foot and brings both of them crashing into another mirror. James picks Edward up and throws him up against a window.

Bella lies over the broken glass, whimpering in pain. I watch her yank out a piece of glass from her leg and see James walking towards her.

"Bella! Bella!" I scream out.

James gets on his knee in front of her, keeping his eyes on Edward as he grips her wrist. With a smirk, he brings her wrist to his mouth and chomps hard on her flesh.

Bella screams in pain and Edward roars in fury and flies out to charge at James, sending them sliding through the wooden floors, causing splinters exploding all round them as they crash into another beam. 

I watch Bella's body jerk around as she yells in pain. I gripped my arm and tried to fix it, but it was hard to do this with just one hand. I yell in pain as I tried yanking it back into place, but it wouldn't work.

I look up and see Edward gripping James by his neck, both of them snarling and growling at each other. Edward chomps on James' neck and rips a piece of him off, spitting it out on to the floor. But, but before Edward could kill him. Carlisle's rushes to his side to stop him.

Emmett, Alice, and Jasper jump from the balcony and rushes towards them. Alice goes to Bella's aid, trying to calm her.

"Bella, Bella! It's okay."

Emmett and Jasper grab on to James' arms and holds him while Carlisle tries to snap Edward out of his rage.

"Son. Enough! Remember who you are."

Dax rushes into the building, human thank god, and dressed in a black hoodie with blue jeans and black boots; and sees the sight in front of him. Alice was holding Bella down as she yells and screams in pain.

I couldn't stop the groan escaping my lips. I look up and see Jasper snapping his head towards me. He looks at me in shock, such sadness...then anger towards James. Jasper snarls and grips James roughly, but Carlisle stops him.

Dax rushes towards me and kneels in front of me, "What is it?"

"My...*grunt* my shoulder. It's dislocated." I bite out.

Jasper heard us and growls lowly, but Carlisle snaps him out of it. "Go to her." He says. Then, Carlisle turns to Edward, "Bella needs you."

"Bella, it's going to be ok." Alice says, but gasps as she feels a wet substance against her hand. Her hand trembles as she sees it was Bella's blood. The scent of her blood. It was too much for her. "Oh God." She breathes in the scent and fights the burning in her throat. I could see the battle inside her. "Carlisle! The blood..." She says as he voice cracks with need and hunger.

"Emmett and Alice will take care of it." Carlisle's assures Edward and Jasper.

Jasper wasted no time, he rushes towards his love, me, "Stay still. It's ok." He whispers to me, brushing my hair from my face.

"I have to set her arm. Hold her still." Dax says.

Jasper nods and holds me in his arms while Dax grips my arm. With a loud crack, he yanks my arm hard, setting the bone back in place.

I cry out, but bite my lip to swallow it back. I sigh in relief and hold on to Jasper. Jasper gets to his feet and helps me up. Dax rushes to Bella and helps Carlisle while Emmett and Alice set a fire in the middle of the studio and tear James apart.

I rush out Jasper's arms and kneel in front of Bella as she jerks around on the floor.

"No, no, my hand... Is burning!" Bella screams.

"He bit her." I said.

"It's the venom." Edward says with dread as they see the bite mark on Bella's wrist.

Jasper rushes to help Alice and Emmett with James.

"You have to make a choice. You could let the change happen." Carlisle says to Edward, but Edward dead set against changing her.

"No...No!" He growls out.

"It's gonna happen, Edward. I've seen it." Alice shouts out.

Dax and I try and hold Bella down as she continues to wither. Edward needed to make a choice, now!

"It doesn't have to be that way. She'd still hemorrhaging." Carlisle says as he tends to the wound on her leg. He looks over to me and sees my belt, "Katherine, make me a tourniquet with your belt." He says.

I yank my belt from my pants, pulling it out of the loops.

"Carlisle, what's my other option?" Edward says brokenly as he watches Bella in pain.

"Tie it above my hands." Carlisle guides me. I wrap the belt around Bella's thigh and tighten it.

"Carlisle!" Edward shouts out.

"We could try to suck the venom out." Carlisle says.

"You know I won't be able to stop." Edward grinds out.

"Then find the will to stop. But choose...she only has minutes left."

I grip on to Bella's other hand as she begins gasping in pain.

"I can make it go away, Bella." Edward assures her. He picks up her wrist, "I'll make it go away." Squeezing his eyes tightly, he brings her wrist to his mouth and begins to suck the venom out of her bite.

Bella's gasps begins to die down as she stops withering.

Dax looks at me with a knowing look, I had to take care of something before they save her. I grip her wrist tight and close my eyes. Calling forth my power to erase Bella's memories of seeing me saving her. In her mind, it was all Edward and the Cullens. And I was a victim...like her.

"Edward, stop! The blood is clean, you're killing her." Carlisle snaps me out of my thoughts as I see Edward grunting and still drinking out of her wrist. Her blood was too much for him to resits.

"Edward, stop!" I shout.

"Stop. Find the will." Carlisle says.

Edward growls and lets out another grunt. Just as Bella began to lose consciousness, Edward pulls her wrist away from his mouth and gently places it over her stomach.

Panting roughly, Edward looks down at Bella as she sleeps. Still heartbroken that this happened to her.

"We need to get her to the hospital." Carlisle looks at me, "Both of you."

"I'm ok. It was just a dislocation. I'm just going to be sore." I assure him.

"Still, we should check to be safe." He says.

Edward picks up Bella gently and we hurry outside to rush to the cars.

Jasper and Alice got into one car with Dax and I. We followed Carlisle and the others as we rushed to the nearest hospital to transport Bella back to Forks. Jasper didn't say much to me...which concerned me.

As we reached Forks and Bella was safely at the hospital and headed to surgery for her leg and severed artery, Carlisle tended to me about my arm. Jasper stood next to me and held on to my hand as Carlisle examined me.

"You're lucky nothing is broken. There is some tenderness from the dislocation. Your x-rays don't revel a break. I would suggest you to rest your arm though. To be on the safe side. I'll get a sling for you." He stops and sighs. "What exactly happened in there? James shouldn't have left you alive. Not that I'm not happy about that. I'm relieved. But, I thought he wanted to kill you."

I shudder in disgust, "He wanted me to watch him with Bella."

Jasper growls softly and pulls me close into his arms.

Carlisle frowns at me, "So he just injuries you and lets you live to watch him torture Bella?" he asks.

I nod, "He was just playing with us. I couldn't even move. I was hoping to get there before Bella did and stop her. I told Dax to wait outside for me. By the time I made it inside, James was breaking Bella's leg. He caught me before I could do anything." I sigh deeply and rub my sore arm.

Carlisle nods, "You're safe now. All of you." He rubs my shoulder in comfort. Like a father tending to a child. I couldn't help but smile.

Carlisle turns to leave to fetch for my sling. Leaving me alone with Jasper.

Jasper moves to stand in front of me, wrapping his arms around me, holding me close. When he pulls back, he had such a broken look, I wanted to cry.

"I was so scared for you, my darlin'. I thought I was going lose you. Seeing you hurt. Knowing that James touched you." He growls in disgust.

"I'm ok, Jasper. That's all that matters." I try and calm him down.

"You should have waited for us." He bites out at me, which startles me. "You could have just told me and Alice and we could have helped."

"We didn't have much time. If I never gotten there, Bella would have been dead. And I couldn't live with myself knowing that I was too late to save my friend." I said.

Jasper grunts and breaths heavily, as if he was pushing back something inside him.

"Just...don't do this again. Please. If I ever lost you..." His lip trembles.

I shake my head and grip his face, forcing him to look at me, "You won't." I whisper.

No word could be said anymore, just a kiss was needed. Jasper leans in and kisses me with such passion, holding me closer to him, thrusting his tongue in my mouth. My tongue moves around and dances with his as passion ignites inside us. But, sadly, the kiss was broken as Carlisle comes back in and places the sling on my arm. I wanted to see Bella, but her mom was with her. So, Jasper decided to take me home while her mom and Bella had some alone time.

I did run into Charlie, he thanked me for helping Bella. From the sound of it, the Cullens told Charlie and Renée that Bella tripped and fell down the stairs at a hotel and went through a window. They said I tried to stop her, but we both ended up going through the window. And that I was lucky to not be cut. They said my hoodie protected me from being cut, but I still injured my arm in the process. But, Bella wasn't so lucky. I sigh softly in relief that Bella doesn't remember anything about me and James fighting. The secret MUST be kept a secret. Till the time is right.
