Darling ? Jasper Hale

"Get her out of here!" Hayley yelled, her eyes glowing as she turned back towards James.

James quickly charged at the dhampir, grabbing a hold of her throat and pushing her against the wall again. Hayley grabbed a hold of his wrist, fighting against his grip so she could breath.

"I've killed dozens of dhampirs. Ones who were stronger than you, faster than you, better than you," James said, slamming her head against the wall. "You're just not good enough."

Hayley looked at him with her glowing orbs. "I'm good enough to kill you," she panted before pushing his hand off of her throat and using her enhanced strength to kick him across the room and through a mirror.

With James incapacitated for a moment, Hayley used the opportunity to search of her stake. Seeing that Hayley had the situation handled, Edward picked up Bella bridal style. "I'm sorry," He apologized.

The moroi vampire jumped, attempting to leave the ballet studio when James grabbed a hold of his foot. James slammed the two into the ground, causing Bella to roll into the shards of glass before throwing Edward into a glass window.

Hayley found her stake and turned to kill James, but before she could, the strigoi vampire grabbed a hold of Bella's wrist and bit her. The excruciating pain of the bite caused both Bella and Hayley to scream out in pain.

Listening to the screams made Edward snap. He tackled James with as much strength as he had, causing the two to break through the floorboards. He picked up James by the collar of his shirt and slammed him against the wall before throwing him across the room.

Though she still felt the white-hot pain all throughout her body, Hayley composed herself and raced over to help Edward. The two male vampires were growling at each other before Edward bit into James's neck and ripped a piece of skin off.

Hayley placed a hand on Edward's shoulder, catching his attention. "Go to Bella, she needs you," she panted, but Edward still stood there, holding James against the wall, refusing to move.

Carlisle appeared with the rest of the Cullen's, minus Esme and Rose. "Remember who you are, son," he told Edward. "She needs you."

Edward complied, letting go of James and running over to a screaming Bella. Alice was already over there, trying her best to help Bella without letting the blood bother her.

Hayley pushed James against the wall again, pressing her hand against her his throat with as much force as possible as she held her stake in the other. Jasper and Emmett both stood beside the bloodied dhampir, watching her closely.

"You hurt someone that I love today," Hayley told James as he struggled under her grip. "Unlike you, she's going to survive today and move on to live a very happy life. You are going to die and be forgotten because you are nothing. I hope you remember my face, because it's going to be the last one you will ever see."

James didn't say anything as he still struggled against her. He looked into her yellow eyes fearfully, a gasp escaping his lips as Hayley shoved the stake through his chest and backed away from him. James's skin began to glow a faint orange color as cracks spread across his entire body.

Hayley stared at him with an emotionless face as she watched him die. Jasper and Emmett looked horrified as they watched James scream out in pain before his entire body erupted into flames.

Hayley's eyes returned to their normal brown color as the adrenaline wore off and the pain returned. She backed away from James's burning body, slightly staggering as she felt Bella's pain.

Jasper quickly ran over to her and hugged her. "Are you okay?" He asked her with a concerned look on his face as he looked over her injuries.

During the fight with James, most of the wounds she sustained came from the the glass shards of the mirror she was thrown through. There was a large gash above her left eyebrow, blood seeping down her face because of it. A stream of blood also ran down her chin, it's source unknown. Throughout her body, she had more cuts from the glass and a large bruise on her neck from all of the strangling.

"I, um, yeah," Hayley answered. "I can feel Bella's p-pain right now."

Jasper cupped his girlfriend's face, careful not to touch any of her cuts. "You did good, Hayley," he told her.

"Yeah?" Hayley asked with a small smile.

Jasper nodded his head and smiled at the dhampir. Hayley looked away from her boyfriend, and to Bella. She noticed how the Swan girl was no longer thrashing and screaming in pain, and she noticed Edward biting her arm and drinking her blood.

As Bella stopped moving, Hayley felt herself grow weaker. Edward was killing her. Hayley took a step towards them to stop him, but before she could get any further, she collapsed. Jasper was quick to catch his mate, a scared look on his face as he held her limp body in his arms.

"I'm.. sorry," Hayley whispered before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she lost consciousness.

"Hayley!" Jasper shouted, absolutely terrified.
