(U)Chapter Nine(U)

"Jasper, you can put me down now," Draco said softly, back in his right mind now that there were safely inside the Cullens beautiful house, "Jasper, put me down." Jasper growled and tightened his hold on Draco, squeezing his knees and shoulders painfully tight, "Jasper, you're hurting me."

"Oh!" Jasper gasped, almost dropping Draco immediately. Luckily his brain kicked in and instead he lowered his boyfriend to the ground slowly. "I'm sorry. I-I just…I could feel your fear, feel how much they frightened you…"

"It's ok Jasper, they've gone," Draco said softly, tracing the lines of Jaspers strong jaw with his fingertips as he stood close to Jasper.

"But you're still afraid," Jasper said softly, "I can still feel your fear…"

"Yes I am still afraid but it's just…it's just because they reminded me of the vampires I've seen in the past," Draco explained softly, "Their eyes…" he shuddered, "But I'm ok now. And Jasper, I know how to defend myself."

"But you shouldn't have to! I shouldn't have got you into this! I shouldn't have dragged you out to play baseball…"

"Hey!" Draco interrupted Jasper, "One, there was no dragging involved, I came willingly. And two, how could you have known that this would happen?" Draco asked, tugging on Jasper's chin to make him look at him.

"Alice…"

"Alice said they were leaving," Draco pointed out, "They changed their minds suddenly. Alice didn't know until it was too late so stop blaming yourself!" Draco ordered, "Anyway it's Bella we should be worrying about. She'd only a human."

"No. I'll never stop worrying about you. You're the only one in my heart," Jasper said passionately, pulling Draco tight to his body and kissing him on the lips. "But you are right. Technically you are safer than Bella is."

"Yes I am, so we need to come up with a pla-what was that?" Draco asked as he heard a noise from further into the house.

"Don't worry, it's just the others," Jasper said with a small smile.

"But the doors there," Draco pointed out, nodding to the door they had come through earlier, now very much locked.

"We don't always use doors," Jasper said softly.

"Oh," Draco mumbled.

"Don't attack!" Alice screamed, rushing down the stairs and coming to a stop beside them. She wasn't looking at them, she was looking out the glass of the wall, out in the darkening world around them. "Don't attack him, he just wants to talk."

"He?" Draco asked in confusion. But then he saw the dark figure emerging slowly from the woods.

"He wants to talk to us. And he's alone," Alice said as Jasper growled dangerously, realising just who it was before Draco did. It was only when the figure stepped into the light coming from inside the house. Laurent.

"Jasper, take Draco upstairs," Carlisle ordered softly.

"But he…" Jasper growled, stepping away from Draco to glare threateningly out at Laurent who was now stood on the porch, looking at them.

"Take Draco upstairs," Carlisle ordered more strongly. Jasper growled once more before Draco found himself once again in his boyfriends arms, this time being carried quickly up to Jasper's bedroom. Draco was afraid that the door would shatter when Jasper kicked it open but amazingly it remained intact. There was however a dent in the wall where the handle hit it. Esme was not going to be impressed.

"Jasper, put me down," Draco found himself saying once again as Jasper stood panting in the middle of his room, holding Draco in his eyes and staring out the window, "Jasper, put me down now."

"I can feel his hunger," Jasper gasped out, disobeying Draco and keeping his boyfriend in his arms, "I can feel what the smell of you is doing to him and I swear to God if he comes anywhere near you I'll rip him to pieces!"

"Jasper, let-me-down." The sharp order finally got a response and Jasper set Draco's feet down on the door. The wizard placed his wand, having held it in his hand all this time, on the little coffee table before going to the door and shutting it gently. The quiet sounds of talking downstairs were blocked off to the human but he suspected Jasper could still hear everything that was being said. "Come and sit down," Draco ordered, dropping down onto the comfortable sofa.

"No, I can defend you better standing," Jasper answered calmly.

"Jasper, sit down," Draco pulled on his boyfriends hand and after a few moments resisting Jasper sat beside h im, "Let Carlisle talk to him. Alice said he just wanted to talk and Alice would know."

"Not if he suddenly changes his mind," Jasper pointed out.

"And if he does suddenly change his mind Emmett and Rosalie will stop him before he can even take one move towards the stairs," Draco said calmly, "Esme will stand and order them to be careful of the furniture." That finally got a little laugh and a smile out of his boyfriend,

"Yes, you're right. That is what Esme would do if fighting started in the house," Jasper shook his head, "And Emmett would relish the chance of a fight."

"So would you," Draco said, sounding a little sad.

"No," Jasper said quickly, "I don't enjoy fighting. I never have, not even when I was a human. The first time I ever fought…well it cured me of my boyish dreams of glory and honour that's for sure. All that it is, is a sad necessity of life or in our case death. But I will gladly defend you to the death if need be."

"I don't want you to do that. I like you living," Draco said quickly, "I don't want to live on after you. That's the wrong way round. I'm the mortal here."

"Don't remind me," Jasper growled.

"It's true. Unless something happens to change me I'm going to die," Draco said seriously, "I should have died many times already but for some reason the fates gave me a second chance each time. One day though they won't."

"I will not live on without you," Jasper said passionately, "But I will not condemn you to an eternity of damnation."

"As I'm sure I've said before, already damned," Draco smiled sadly, "But I wouldn't want anyone but you or your family doing it."

"We are not having this conversation," Jasper said sharply.

"Yes we are. If the need ever comes, not that my parents would let you, I want you to do it. And if you can't I want Carlisle or Esme to do it. If another vampire bites me I'd rather you just let them kill me," Draco said seriously.

"No!" Jasper shouted.

"Yes," Draco snapped, "It is my choice and I have made it."

"No," Jasper said quietly this time, almost to himself, looking sick at the very idea, "Do you want to be a vampire?"

"Not as much as Bella obviously does," Draco said, "I've seen this look in her eyes and I've heard the way she talks. She's determined to be with Edward forever."

"And you don't want to be with me forever?" Jasper asked quietly.

"I would love to be with you forever," Draco said quietly, cupping Jasper's cheeks with his soft hands, "But I know that you would rather I live a normal, mortal life. You're argument just now has shown me that."

"I don't want to end your life," Jasper said softly.

"I know," Draco said, "And that is why I am happy, for now, to sit back and let fate or destiny or whatever is lead me on the life it wants." The sound of a door slamming downstairs made Draco jump, after all it must have slammed hard to be heard through Jasper's closed door. "What was that?"

"Edward and Bella are here and Laurent is leaving," Jasper growled, "They want us down stairs."

"How do you know that?" Draco asked.

"Carlisle just asked us to come down," Jasper said, lifting Draco up with him as he stood. Draco wrapped his legs around Jasper's waist comfortably.

"Oh, I didn't hear anything," he admitted.

"Vampire hearing," Jasper grinned before letting Draco down. They walked down the stairs hand in hand and joined everyone else as they rushed into the huge garage, filled with expensive and well cared for cars. "I've had to find our kind before." Jasper said as he entered, joining in the conversation as if he'd been there the entire time. Draco looked at him startled, "I'll tell you later." This was said to Draco before he spoke to his family again, "They're not easy to kill."

"But not impossible. We'll tear them apart and burn the pieces," Emmett said firmly, opening one of the many cupboards. Jasper wound his arms around Draco's waist as they stood beside Esme, watching the rest of the family move about the garage, opening cupboards and stuffing things into bags.

"I don't relish the thought of killing another creature, even a sadistic one like James," Carlisle sounded truly tortured by this idea.

"What if he kills one of us first?" Rosalie asked as she climbed up onto the counter, not helping at all, just glaring at Edward and making her views very clear already. She didn't agree with this course of action.

"I'm gonna run Bella south. Can you lead the tracker away from here?" Edward asked, looking away from Rosalie and ignoring her valid question.

"No, Edward. James knows you would never leave Bella. He'll follow you, Carlisle, ever the logical one, said quickly. Alice walked up behind the leader of the family, for once not smiling. It saddened Draco to see the little vampire not happy and bouncing around.

"I'll go with Bella. I'll drive her south," she said softly, "I'll keep her safe, Edward." Edward winced slightly,

"Can you keep your thoughts to yourself?" he asked.

"Yes," Alice answered tightly, taking Bella's arm and leading her to the shiny black car that Draco guessed must be Carlisle's. He knew who owned the other expensive cars in the garage. Draco frowned as Edward pulled a couple of Bella's jackets out of the bag he was carrying.

"Rosalie, Esme, could you put these on so the tracker will pick up Bella's scent?" the mind-reading vampire asked softly, throwing one to each female vampire. Esme caught hers easily and slipped it on immediately, reaching out a hand to brush Draco's soft hair when she saw him watching her.

"Why? What is she to me?" Rosalie asked bluntly and all eyes turned on her.

"Rosalie, Bella is with Edward. She's part of this family now," Carlisle said sternly, picking up the jacket Rosalie had put aside, "And we protect our family." Draco held his breath as did everyone else, only he needed his breath slightly more than the vampires did. It seemed like an age before Rosalie finally took the jacket and walked off towards the jeep. Emmett smiled grimly at the others before going to his girlfriend's side, trapping her against the jeeps door.

"Can I help?" Draco asked.

"No," Jasper said quickly.

"No, Jasper will take you home and stay with you. There's no knowing what James will do to get at Bella," Carlisle said softly, walking over to take his wife's hand and face Draco. Esme reached out with her other hand and pushed the button on the wall which started the long garage doors opening. "Stay safe Draco." Carlisle said in parting as he and Esme climbed into the red convertible.

"I want to help," Draco said softly.

"No," Jasper mumbled in his ear as the engines started in the garage. And then all three vehicles were gone with loud tyre squeals, leaving only the couple and Edward in the garage. "She'll be ok Edward."

"The woman wants Draco," Edward said quietly, "Be careful, she's only holding back because she wants to help James get to Bella."

"Thank you for the warning," Jasper said tensely. Edward turned away from them and ran out of the garage at his breathtaking speed. "Let's get you home."

"I want to help," Draco complained again as Jasper carried him home on his back, not at terrifying speed but still faster than a normal human, "I could have helped somehow."

"No. I can't risk you, no matter what you could have done to help," Jasper said, "You heard what Edward said, Victoria wants you. James is after Bella but once he has her and Victoria no longer has to follow his plan she'll come after you. I will not leave you until they are both dead!"

"But-"

"No! Let me protect you Draco! Please!" Jasper pleaded loudly.

"Ok," Draco sighed, "But if anything happens to Bella that I could have prevented I will never forgive myself."

"Neither will I," Jasper said quietly.

They arrived at Draco's house and Jasper hid in the shadows as Draco entered, greeting his parents and using his best acting skills to pretend that nothing was wrong. Jasper watched from the window as Draco sat tensely at the dinner table, talking with his father about the rules of baseball (and getting most of them wrong Jasper noticed) while his mother dished up a delicious smelling meal.

"So what did you do after the game?" Lucius asked as they began to eat.

"Nothing much," Draco answered shortly, playing with his food instead of eating it. His parents frowned at each other across the table.

"Is something wrong Draco?" Narcissa asked softly.

"No."

"Draco, don't lie to me," she glared slightly at him. "What is wrong?"

"It's nothing," Draco said shortly, "Just something happened."

"Did you have a fight with Bella?" Narcissa asked.

"No," Draco said, "Someone else had a fight with Bella and I don't want to talk about it." His parents looked at each other before watching Draco. He hadn't eaten anything yet and that worried his parents, this was one of his favourite meals.

"Who had a fight with Bella?" Lucius asked after a few moments silence.

"These people who turned up at the game uninvited," Draco said evasively.

"You're leaving something out," Lucius said sharply. Draco wouldn't meet his eyes, "Who were you playing baseball with?" Lucius asked, now suspicious. Draco bit his lip, thinking that maybe it was time to come clean to his parents. They were going to be so angry with him…

"The Cullens and Bella," he finally answered softly.

"What?" Draco winced at his father's enraged shout, shrinking back in his chair a little as Lucius jumped to his feet, his chair tumbling to the floor. His glare was deadly and focused solely on his son.

"Lucius, don't shout," Narcissa said, waving her wand at the fallen chair so that it righted itself. Then she turned to face Draco in her seat, "Do you mean the vampires?" Draco was surprised she was taking this so well…

"Yes but…"

"There is no but about it!" she snapped, not quite as loud as her husband. Draco realised she'd just been slower to react than his father, wanting to get confirmation before getting mad, "Vampires Draco! How could you be so…"

"They're good!" Draco protested, glancing over to the window. He couldn't see Jasper in the darkness but knew he was there somewhere. Lucius scoffed loudly and Draco glared up at him, "Yes, father, they're good. Everything Jasper told me was true. None of them have ever tried to harm me or Bella…"

"Bella?" Lucius asked surprised.

"Er," Draco bit his lip, "Bella knows about them."

"She knows?" Lucius all but shouted his question. "Did you tell her?"

"No! She guessed," Draco protested, "She's dating Edward."

"Dating…" Narcissa mumbled worriedly. Lucius hadn't noticed how she had been unsurprised to learn that Bella knew of the vampires but dating was a totally different thing, something far more dangerous…

"And what about us, does she know about us?" Lucius demanded.

"She doesn't know about us…yet," Draco said slowly, "But I will tell her soon. She deserves to know and I don't like keeping secrets from her."

"No you will not tell her!" Lucius snapped, "And how dare you disobey me, lie to me, go behind my back and risk your life with those disgusting bloodsuckers!" Lucius' voice rose and rose, "And now something that has happened when you were with them has hurt you. Bloody Merlin, I think I might lock you in your room and kill every one of those monsters!"

"No!" Draco screamed in fear, jumping up from his seat. The back door which had been locked flew open, the lock breaking and before his parents could do anything Draco was wrapped up in Jasper's gentle arms. Jasper looked at his boyfriends parents and before he could stop himself he glared at them, defending his mate from the pain and sadness they were putting him through. Their shouting was also beginning to frighten him, Jasper could feel every ounce of fear it grew.

"Don't shout at him," he growled threateningly as Draco pressed his face into Jasper's neck, "You know shouting frightens him…"

"How dare-"

"I dare, Mr Malfoy, because I love your son," Narcissa gasped at Jasper's blunt declaration. Lucius simply looked shocked for a few moments before drawing his wand and pointing it at Jaspers face, advancing slowly,

"Let go of my son," he ordered. Jasper actually obeyed, he held his arms up. It was Draco that held on tightly around Jaspers waist, fighting Lucius when he tried to pull him away. "Draco…"

"It seems he wants to be held by me," Jasper said softly, returning his arms to hold Draco's trembling back, "My family and I would never harm Draco or Bella. We took them both out to play baseball today and everything was going well. Then three nomadic vampires of the traditional sense arrived unexpectedly," Jasper began to explain the day's events softly and much to his surprise the senior Malfoy's listened to him, Narcissa walking up to her husbands side, placing a hand on his outstretched wand arm, "One of them has decided it would be (B)fun(B) to hunt Bella," Jasper spat the word, making his disgust known, "My family have taken her away, they are distracting the tracker and if he finds her they will fight him to the death to protect her. I stayed behind to look after your son because there are still two dangerous vampires out there tonight and the woman, well once she finishes helping her lover catch Bella she wants to hunt Draco. I will not let that happen," Jasper spoke coldly as Narcissa gasped in fear, "I will protect him from her if it is the last thing that I do in this world." There were a few moments of tense silence and then it was Narcissa who spoke ever so softly,

"I believe you," she said.

"What?" her husband asked.

"I believe him," she said, her voice firmer.

"You believe a vampire?" Lucius asked angrily, "Isn't he the one who plays with emotions? He's probably tricking you with his gift."

"I can't," Jasper said quickly, "I can't use my gift on you, any of you. I can feel what you feel but unlike everyone else I can't influence how you feel unless you let me in." He looked down at Draco, "What did you call it love? Your shield?"

"Occlumency," Draco mumbled softly.

"I beg your pardon?" Jasper asked with a little smile.

"That's the technical name for the shield," Draco smiled up at him.

"Ah," Jasper hummed, nodding gently before looking back to Narcissa, "You came to your decision on your own." He turned his gaze on Lucius, "And don't you think that if I could influence your emotions I would have calmed you down by now, not let your anger grow?"

"He has a point love," Narcissa said softly, "And I do believe him."

"Hm," Lucius made a non-committal noise.

"I do worry about these other vampires however," Narcissa said, sounding stern once more, "Will your family be able to protect Bella?"

"Yes," Jasper answered quickly.

"And I noticed that you said three but only went into detail about two. What about the third?" Narcissa asked.

"He claims that he has grown tired of the hunters games and has left them," Jasper growled, "That doesn't mean he won't try anything but he is the least of our worries at the moment."

"Yes. And this woman. What does she look like? So that we can keep an eye out for her," Narcissa asked sensibly and Jasper felt his admiration for the beautiful woman grow. Not only was she accepting, albeit slowly, their relationship she was also planning ahead to protect her son.

"A red headed version of Aunt Bellatrix," Draco mumbled into Jaspers neck.

"Ah," Narcissa nodded slightly, "Lucius?"

"I still don't trust you," the senior Malfoy said to Jasper but lowered his wand, "But recently Draco has been happier and you've probably go something to do with that so…fine. But know this, if you or your family or any other vampire in the entire world harm a single hair on my sons head I will kill every one of you that I can find, starting with your family." Lucius didn't believe in mincing his words.

"Father!" Draco gasped.

"I understand Mr Malfoy," Jasper said calmly.

"Good."

Lucius sat back in his seat as the silence began again. This time it was not one of them that broke it, it was Draco's phone going off loudly in his pocket. Flipping it open he checked the caller ID and smiled thankfully, stepping away from Jasper as he answered the call,

"Bella? How are you? Are you safe?"

"I am. Alice and I are in Phoenix in the most expensive hotel I have ever been in," Bella's voice sounded tense but Draco could not blame her. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah."

"Oh," Bella mumbled, "Good."

"Are you worried?" Draco asked softly.

"I don't know," Bella admitted, "I'm worried that something will happen to Edward or my dad."

"Don't. Don't worry about anything but your own safety," Draco said sternly, "You're the one the tracker wants so you keep your eyes open and don't do anything stupid. And don't bother protesting, I may have only known you a few months but I know you well enough."

"Yes, you do," Bella sighed, "Look I'm gonna go to bed. I just wanted to make sure you were ok."

"Ok. Night," Draco didn't comment that it was ridiculously early to be going to bed and therefore he knew Bella just didn't want to carry on talking. She was most likely afraid she'd let him know how frightened she really was.

"Night." Bella hung up and Draco returned his phone to his pocket, stepping back into Jaspers arms.

"She'd worried," he said.

"Understandable but she's with Alice," Jasper said, "Alice will see danger before it arrives. Don't worry."

"Funny, that's what I just told Bella," Draco chuckled almost sadly, "I'm not hungry mother. I think I'm just going to go upstairs."

"Keep your door open," Narcissa said quickly as Jasper moved with Draco towards the door. Draco nodded. Lucius watched them go but said nothing, keeping whatever he thought to himself.

"This is the first time I've been in here and your parents know," Jasper said softly as Draco sat down on his bed, both of them leaving the door wide open as ordered by Narcissa.

"Yeah," Draco mumbled, sighing deeply. Jasper stood by the door and when Draco looked up at him he noticed something catching the light on his dresser. The Ring. "I (B)could(B) have helped!" he muttered angrily, jumping up and pointing to the ring, "Why didn't I remember this? I could have given it to Bella? She would have been protected and…"

"Hey!" Jasper said, pulling Draco into his arms to stop his boyfriend continuing. If he had Draco would surely have hyperventilated. "You forgot. It's too late now so don't think any more on it."

"I could have helped protect her," Draco mumbled sadly. Jasper swung him up into his arms and climbed onto the bed, settling down and holding Draco in his arms like he was a child.

"She's got enough protection Draco. She'll be fine," he said softly.

"But I'm so worried…" Draco finally admitted.

"Let me in love, I'll help," Jasper whispered in Draco's ear. Draco nodded against Jasper's chest and dropped his shields. All at once he felt the calming touch of his lover in his mind and his eyes drifted closed.

Not long after Draco fell asleep.

A/N There we go, another chapter. Hope it didn't disappoint. Only a teeny bit of script too! Lol. I'm starting to wish I could draw because I would love to create some decent fanart for this story, I can see the cute couple in my head! Sadly I failed A-Level Art, quite dramatically actually (a 'U' in A-Levels is 'Ungradeable' and I got fourteen marks BELOW what you needed to get to be 'Ungradeable'. I was quite proud of that.) and so it's safe to say my drawing skills are not all that good. Shame. That was a complete tangent, sorry. More on the way!
