Bella and I were playing Chess it was usually so easy to win but with her… not so much. I finally have a worthy opponent.
I couldn't read her mind so it was like a completely new game to me I had to really think. A sudden thought broke my attention" Edward something's coming, we have no idea what it is!" Jacob practically yelled.
My body went rigid and the instinct to jump in front of Bella almost overwhelmed me, but I remembered as a newborn she was stronger than any of us, it was so easy to forget. The look on her face told me she understood and in a fraction of a second, we were both out the door running to the meadow.
When we got there the rest of the family already knew, and all held a different protective position in front of the ones they loved. We waited 50 seconds, a minute, ugg how long was it going to take them. When they finally emerged, it was at human speed, though they were clearly vampires.

Edwards's body shifted in front of me, it was silly, here I was the strongest vampire in the house, and Edward, EDWARD of all people was standing in front of me!
When I stepped out from behind him to get a better look, it took my breath away (figuratively).The man was tall and built like Jasper with dark chocolate hair cut right above his ears.
"Beautiful" I thought, but behind that beauty was something, fear almost, that shook me to my core and made me want to hug him. His eyes, almost exact same shade of gold as Carlisle's were troubled.
The girl or should I say woman, (she looked about 21) was equally beautiful, her face could put Rosalie's to shame. Her body, long and lean, was perfectly showcased by the tight green sweat suit she wore. Her eyes, gold, just like the mans, sparkled.
The one detail that surprised me most though, was her hair; the ringlets that fell just to her shoulders were the same exact color as Edwards. She stepped forward hesitantly; Edwards's reaction I was expecting, but Jaspers took me off guard. Edward snarled but Jasper just starred at her for a moment, then with inhuman speed surged forward to shake her hand.
.
The whole family including the wolves was astonished; Jasper was never purely social
This was a stranger though, someone who had come onto our home, our grounds! My newborn blood boiled.
Jasper seeing our faces, quickly turned to explain, "This is Grayson," he said as he pointed to the woman, "and this is Adrian" He said pointing to the man.
"I knew them both centuries ago. Maria recruited Adrian to train under me, and Grayson to take my place when I died. These two were some Marias greatest assets. They both have…" he paused as if trying to find the words, "Interesting power. Carlisle's face lit up. And as you can see Carlisle, they have also committed to our way of life."
I starred in awe, so these two had been through hell and come out just like Jasper. Where were there scars they both had none, it didn't make sense! Some one better explain to me now! I'm started to get a aggravated.
EPOV
I heard Bella gasp, "Jasper" I growled.
Of course, I understood his point, they were "vegetarians" and honestly did not look threatening, but I saw something in both of the stranger's eyes that reminded me of my rebellious streak years ago. The look of pain and yet of hope and a hint of danger.
"Come guard Bella," I told him.
She gave me a look, so like Bella, she looked at Jasper pleadingly. Although he saw her, he nodded in acknowledgement and came to take my place. Thoughts swirled around my head, as I stepped forward "don't do anything stupid" Carlisle warned, "Be safe" of course, it was Esme, "don't hurt her," Jasper threatened.
Only a few people remained quiet. They were so very annoying sometimes. When I preceded forward both Grayson and Adrian froze. "Smart idea strangers" I thought. I walked up hoping to look Grayson in the eyes; boy was I wrong she was about 2 inches taller than I was, uggg stupid tallish girl!
Her eyebrow rose as if she knew what I was thinking, and then she moved to look me in the eyes. Surprise broke through my serious expression, the look in her eyes was not of hate, but one of hope, hope that we wouldn't decided she and her friend were bad. She stepped back and stuck out her hand as if asking me to shake it.
A new round of thoughts enveloped me within less than a second, to summarize they were all of fear curiosity and/or saying I should accept the hand, I was being offered.
BPOV
The instinct to push my shield out to keep him from touching her was almost too much, but I knew it would not help.
Therefore, I obediently stood behind Jasper. My fears kept swarming me like mosquitoes still, what if she was like Kate Denali and her touch would hurt or maybe even kill him! I swatted them away, if Jasper trusted them I should too.
Edward grabbed her hand swiftly but anything but softly. I waited for something to happen, I waited, and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly she laughed; I was shocked her laugh was so familiar it reminded me of Edwards, but darker and sweeter. Still being a newborn, I didn't catch myself before I exploded "Who are you! What is you full name!" I screamed. I couldn't take it she was so; so much like him… something was wrong very wrong.
Edward turned to look at me with a startled expression. "What's wrong love? He asked trying to soothe me but his voice was so layered with tension it did not help.
"Her voice, her laugh, her hair, didn't you notice it's just like YOURS!!" I stammered. All eyes came off of me and went straight to her.
She sighed" I knew this was coming, I should have known," Adrian came to hug her and at least try to comfort her.
When everyone started to look at her a little more carefully, Alice gasped. Edward tensed, Jaspers jaw dropped, Esme put her hand to her heart, and Jacob growled, they all noticed it, the undeniable resemblance between this stranger, Grayson, and Edward.
"What is your full name" Edward and asked, quiet this time. She looked me in the eye and everyone's breathing ceased
"My full name is Grayson Elizabeth Mason." Edward looked like he was to collapse and knowing the overreaction he tends to have he did. I was the first to his side. I sat cradling his head in my lap. Then his eyes opened. I sighed in relief. "This is quite a nice way to wake up" Then he kissed me and rose. I want an explanation and now.
