*Jasper's POV

  "Annie...?" I heard Peter's worried voibsp;Annie? I'd love to let him know what I think of the way he keeps addressing her but there was more important problem at hand.  "Annabell please, tell me what's wrong?" I panicked a little. Having no idea ossibly could have caused the horror she felt. She wasn't responding. There was no sign that she eveered that somebody is talking to her. Carefully pulling her in my arms, I was out of the kit. I flew to the room we stayed st night and sitting on the bed I rocked her like a baby, doing my best to calm her. When she finally somewhat settled down, hot tears started to roll down her cheeks. "That monster... Chris didn't die of old age... a vampire... wouldn't die... lied to me! ...And now... after me..." She was getting out of herself pieces of hardly cohereences, while I patiently wiped her tears oer another as they fell from her mesmerizing eyes.

  It was taking too long. I started to think my calming isn't w. In the end she did calm down and I felt her determination. "Even if I have to kill him myself, he's gonna die." She stated, sounding resolute. Somewhere in the bay mind I found it very sexy.

  "That's not gonna be necessary, angel. But yes, he will die." I reassured her. Any threat to my mate is to be dealt with! I sensed her restlessness, felt the mixture of her emotions: gratefulness, anger, determination, then...  All of a sudden Annabell reached up, put her warm hands on each side of my fad pressed her lips against mihe force of her desire when our lips met, bined with her warm touch, sweet st and the fact that this time I wasn't prepared for it, made my head spin. My own desire taking over me.

  There was faint taste of vanil and amon on her lips. My tongue was slowly quering her mouth. First brushing over her lips until she shivered with pleasure and then diving in her weling warmth. Deepening our kiss, over and ain. I was hungrily taking what she was giving aurning the same and more. Caressing her soft curves I wao feel her even closer. Her soft warm against my cold and hard body. I wao feel her skin on mine.  I momentarily pulled away from the kiss so she could catch a breath and to make a little space for what I was about to do, when her lips escaped a quiet moan in which I reized my name. "Ah, Jasper..." With a horror I realized that just a sed longer and I would tear her clothes off of her. Then only death would be able to stop me from g my mate, and Annabell would have no idea what is happening to her. Thanks to her innoce I'm on the best way to lose my mind. "Oh, my angel!" It sounded like a desperate plea, and I tried to stop the sting inside of my body.

  I pressed her gently against my chest so she couldn't tinue in her sweet attad destroy the little trol I had found. I fixed the picture of her pure bliss from yesterday, before my eyes, slowly calming the both of us.  "I'm sorry." She mumbled into my neck. "It's nothing. Nothing happened, darling." I reassured her. My voice still ced with passion that flowed between us just a moment ago. Nothing happened. Nothing happened?! Oh, how little it took and I'd destroy any fond feelings you might have for me now. She was fused and embarrassed. Yes, she didn't know the sequehat her little attack might have had. It came practically out of nowhere and it's urgency didn't give me any time to think of stopping her. Yonhe death of mine, love. I thought helplessly.

  Much ter, Charlotte's head appeared in the door. "Is she ok? What happened?" She was worried and I actually weled a distra. Even though I somehow mao suppress my o bury myself into the softness of the body in my arms, its warmth was both soothing aing at the same time.  "From what I uood, there is a vampire after Annabell. And it seems he killed another vampire, that Chris, Peter and Annabell mentioned, before." I was angry just thinking about it. It's about time he met the God of war.  "Yes. At least I think that's what he meant." Spoke up Annabell. Except for to me inexplicable guilt, she erfectly calm. And I was doing my best to keep it that way. There had to be so mu her mind.

  "Wheacked me on Tuesday after school, he said, and I quote: 'He trained you well. But it won't help you. Just like it didn't help him.' What else could he mean?" tinued Annabell frowning. "Not that I had a ce to show him much of what Chris taught me..." It was obvious that this Chris was very important to her.

  "I want to go home." Said Annabell suddenly. I should have expected it, but I didn't agree with that she'd be alone in ay house, when there is a vampire after her. heless, I pretty much couldn't keep her where she didn't want to be.
