A Different life (Twilight Fanfic)

**This is a story of what would have happened if Jasper hadn't been restrained in time so he didn't harm Bella. This is a different New Moon! Enjoy...

Prologue (Bella's 18th Birthday Party, when she opens the present)

Happily, I looked at te small perfectly wrapped present that was in my palms in pure wonder. As I looked around the room I saw five accepting and beautiful faces. Rosalie's face was ful of the usual hatred towards me. Which as much as it annoyed me, her face wasn't the one making my palms sweaty and my whole body fidgit.

    It was Jasper's face that was begginning to terrify me, leaving my mind race and begin to turn on alarm bells.

Jasper's eyes were a deep coal black, he looked so intesnse, and I've only seen his eyes like that once before. That was when he was thirsty, wanting to rip my throat out, I'm sure he could feel my fear, but he carried on staring at my veins in my neck.

    I thought for a second he might just be having one of his moments, but that didn't ease my worry because deep down in my heart I knew it was so much more than that. He was thirsty for my blood, could nobody else notice what he was doing or was I the only one?

"Go on, Bella. There's nothing wrong is there?" Alice's sweet voice calmed me a little but it wasn't long before the sense of dread filled my whole body again.

    "No, I'm fine, just a little nervous." I brushed her off, but my eyes were pleaing with her for her to notice that there was something wrong, but she seemed as relaxed as ever.

    But I couldn't make my body move, my mind was screaming for me to do something but my body refused to respond. It was as if I was completely numb, unable to make my body work, whaat was Jasper going to do to me? Would he change me? Kill me?

"Jesus Bella, can you just open the damn present? We haven't got forever you know." Rosalie stated impatiently but Emmet just laughed it off as if it was a joke. But I knew for a fact it wasn't a joke, and she was deadly serious.

    Edwards eyes, pierced into Jasper's giving him a mental warning to either leave or get over his moment. He must have finally noticed that Jasper was thinking about drinking my blood. The thought of Jasper ripping out my throat made me shudder and made chills run up my spine.

After taking a large gulp of air, my fingers rushed to open the tiny present in my palms, struggling with the celotaped and ribboned paper. Did they seriously think I could open this, but I didn't want to look stupid infront of seven vampires.

   So as if my life depended on it I ripped open the present with full force but soon after regretted it. As a small line of red began to trickle down my finger. Making me panic even more, it would only take one Cullen to loose control, and I'd be dead within seconds.

    "Paper cut," I spoke jokingly with nerves shattering my voice. But it was to late for joking, Jasper was already running at me, clearly getting ready to demolish his prey.

I'm going to die. Was all I could think.

    At the speed he ran I was on the floor within about ten short seconds. He was so fast he was just life a blur going past my vision. He pinned me down and latched on to my neck, but it wasn't enough for him. He was biting all over my body, my legs, arms but never my face. The pain was excrutiating, and all I could do was scream.

    But why were the rest of the Cullens just standing there, I was going to die.

They were all just stood there like emotionless statues, but befoe I knew it Esme was shouting commands that my brain couldn't register. But then it clicked, Jasper was playing with the Cullen's emotions to keep them calm so they wouldn't get him off me. But I couldn't help but wonder why it didn't work on Esme.

    Esme ran at Jasper, poor innocent Esme, but she was no where near fast enough or strong enough and no sooned had she reached me when Jasper hissed at her and threw her to the other side of the room like a child throws away a toy when they get bored with it.

My screams began louder, more piercing as the Cullen's snapped out of their slumber, Jasper jumped off me when he noticed Emmet was drawing closer and closer. But I didn't care about Jasper, right now I cared about Edward and my family.
