A/N Ok I just read this amazing story called The River Between Us by: Richard Peck. It was set during the civil war and it reminded me that Jasper was around that time so why not make a story about Jasper's past. I mean it's not like there is a whole lot of those kinds of stories around. So without further ado the History of Jazz.

Disclaimer: No I do not own Twilight or The River Between Us. IDK why I mentioned TRBU cause well this isn't going to be anything like that but oh well. I know what you must be think come on shut up and start the story already so ok here it is.

"Jasper sweet heart come on there are some people here that I want you to meet," piped my beautiful wife Alice.

"Alright," I grumbled as I set down my book pulling on a long sleeve shirt over my wife beater. Once down the stairs I saw two nomad vegetarian vampires by the looks of it. Neither of them sent off hostility I relaxed my grip on Alice.

"Hello Jasper," said the blonde female in a voice I vaguely remember. She looked very familiar too for some odd reason though I had never seen her before. She studied me and when she knew I didn't remember her eyes dulled but nothing else gave away her disappointment.

"I hate to ask but how do you know my name," I questioned trying to figure out how I knew her. She stared at me blinking a few times and shaking her silken hair.

"Well one of your family members told me, I believe it was your father Carlisle to be more exact," she responded. I was waiting to see if she was lying to or not but my answer never came. My eyes widen a little as I looked at her smooth blank face that reminded me of something far off.

All I remember is noise. The sound of snapping twigs and crackling leaves underfoot. As the noises consumed my thoughts as I flashed back to something. I hear a women cry out in agony, "Jasper, Jasper no come back, come back," she sobbed. I could feel the tears coming as I felt my heart rip in two. I could almost feel the women's pain and loss. I almost went back but then I reminded myself out loud, "I can't go back I have to keep running so I can end this war." Then it all went blank as I came back to the present. Edward gave me a look silently asking me if I was alright and I nodded my reply.

"W-w-what's your last name," I found myself asking.

"Well… it is a name that you will find out later. Besides what good will a last name do if you don't have a first name to go with it," She led me on, then dumped me off the track just like a sibling or parent might do to a small child.

I huffed, "Fine then what is your first name?"

She smiled at my answer but it quickly dissipated. "This is Noah my husband," gesturing to the man next to her, "and I'm Alexandra but please call me Alex," her face returning to its motionless state.

"Ain't that a name of a queen," I said in my southern drawl.

Her eyes softened at the sound. "Yes, yes it is," she said her voice also laced loosely with a southern twang, "In fact it was the name of the last queen of Russia."

"You're from the south ain't you," I said not able to find it within myself to stay quite. It scared me that I couldn't keep quite it reminded me of a small child.

"I was," she sighed, "a long, long time ago." Her gaze shifted to the window but we could all tell she wasn't looking at anything out there that we could see, like Alice when she had a vision.

"Both of us are from Texas," said Noah. His voice had the same ere that Carlisle's did yet it twanged like mine.

"So what brings you here?" questioned Carlisle.

"Not that we mind," Esme quickly added shooting a sideways glance at her husband.

"Actually," started Noah.

"We well I have something I would like to share with all of you," Alex interrupted.

"Oh and what would that be," asked Edward with humor in his eyes. Letting us all see that he all ready knew the answer.

Alexandra rolled her eyes at him and replied, "My ability, I can show you anything you want as long as it has already happened."

"Why would we want to know what already happened if we know what happened," said Emmett walking in making no sense what so ever.

"Yes but you only know what school has taught you and what you have lived as a vampire. You don't know details of what life was like before," Alex explained.

"Oh alright I get it," nodded Emmett, "Ok no I don't."

"Here let me say it this way I can show you things that happened in your human life," she simplified for the pea brain.

"Oh ok I get it so you can show us what are human lives were like," restated Emmett.

"Yes," huffed Rosalie aggravated with her husband's stupidity. We all laughed at her reaction even Alex and Noah.

"What what did I do," said Emmett scratching his head.

"Never mind," said Edward, "so Alex who do you think should see their past first?"

"Well personally I think Jasper would be a good place to start," answered Alex nodding as she said it.

"Why me," I asked.

"Well you have many questions and I would like to clear them up for you," She said matter of factly.

"Oh alright fine I guess I will go first," I shrugged.

"Ok everyone please get into a circle and hold hands at least for this first part. You may feel a slight shock for a sec. Alright here we go."……………………
