A/N: I've been thinking about doing this fic for a while now. I love Jasper and how he struggles and loses control. This is pretty much about how he managed, pre-fic.

Carlisle P.O.V

Carlisle would be lying if he said he wasn't intimidated by the newest members of his family. They were in forks again... and had been staying there not long when they showed up. Alice and Jasper practically bounded to their door and told them they were the new editions. Now they all stood in the living area. Alice and Jasper on one side and Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward on the other. Carlisle studied them intensly.

Alice was a small girl with spiky black hair. He noted she had golden eyes and must be feeding off of animals. Standing next to her was Jasper. He hadn't spoken a word yet and Carlisle wasn't sure what to think. He was covered in scars. Scars that appeared to be vampire bites. Carlisle's been around for a long time, and met a lot of vampires, but Jasper was the most intimidating. He was tall and lean, but still with well defined muscles. The one thing Carlilse noticed that made him uneasy was his briliant red eyes.

"How do you know who we are?" Esme asked kindly.

"I can see the future." Alice responded bouncing on the balls of her feet.

Edward looked at her, squinting his eyes, "She's telling the truth." Jasper looked at him oddly.

"Edward can read minds." Alice told him.

Carlisle couldn't help but smile at her happy go lucky attitude. "It seems we have much to talk about." Carlisle said.

"How about you tell us a little about yourself" Esme prompted.

"My name is Alice. I don't remember anything about my human life. I just remember waking up in the middle of nowhere with an aweful burn in my throat. It was 1920 when I woke. I got visions of you all. And how you survive on animal blood I knew then, that's what I needed to drink. I traveled for a bit. I knew something was missing and it wasn't time yet. Not long ago I got a vision of meeting Jasper..I met him..and here we are."

Carlilse was impressed with her. Able to wake up and just know to not drink the blood of humans was admirable. He also felt bad for her though too. Even with her visions of the future it had to be extremely difficult for her.

"My name is Jasper" a smooth, heavily southern accented voice began. " I was born in Housten, Texas in 1844, I joined the confederate army and became the youngest major in texas. One night I was met by three women in 1863 who changed me. They used my ability to control emotions to train a new born army for the vampire wars. I left with a few of the newborns years ago, and then met Alice...and here I am."

They all exchanged glances. He was older than everyone in the room excluding Carlilse and had seen more bloodshed than all of them. Carlisle coundn't help but to be impressed with all of the newborns he must've defeated. It was intimidating though too. Just then Emmet went to Jasper with a big grin on his face.

"Man I'd love to wrestle you sometime!" He said reaching his hand out to Jasper's shoulder.

No-one expected what came next, Jasper was at the back of the room in an instant crouched down and snarling, his red eyes was frozen at the spot, shocked. But that's not what really interested Carlisle. It was the sudden surge of panic and anger he felt. In his shock he heard Edward slip out a growl. Carlisle shook his head at Edward. Everyone stayed frozen.

Alice was the only one that dared to move closer to him. At this Jasper let out a vicious snarl.

"I thought they were mates?" Esme whispered worridly.

Alice stopped. "We are... Jasper has had a much more violent upbringing than the rest of you. What you're feeling now is him. He has the ability to control and feel the emotions around him, try to fight it."

Edward was shaking his head, "It's like he's stuck in a memory. His mind is incredibly violent."

Esme put a hand over her heart in concern and pity, and through the anger he suddenly felt a surge of love, nothing, not even an empathic vampire could mask the love he felt for the wonderful woman beside him.

"Shh Jazz, come back to me." Alice whispered as she got closer to him. He snarled at her again in warning. Everyone watched in wonder as she knelt in front of him and looked directly into his eyes. "You've kept me waiting long enough." she said.

Of course this meant nothing to everyone else, but slowly Jasper straightened his crouch and fixed the wicked curl in his lips. "My apologies, ma'am." he said, his accent thick.

Alice beamed at him as he stood up. Everyone stayed frozen in place. "Sorry Sir."Jasper said nodding at Emmett.

Emmett gaped at him at a loss. Carlisle cleared his throat, " Is this something that happens often?"

Jasper looked down and they all turned to Alice for an answer, which he suspected they would be doing a lot. "Jasper has led a much different life than the rest of us." She responded shortly.

"I'll tell you what Jasper" Emmett said. "If you're going to be staying here, don't call me sir." he finished with a grin.

An idea blossomed in Carlisle's head. It was aweful and a little cruel but he had to see. " Why don't we run our borders so you know where it's safe to hunt."

Everyone nodded but Edward winked at him while nodding his head to show that he had heard and that he was in. Carlisle worked at the hospital and heard a lot of things. It just so happens that there was a hiking group going out today, anything could happen.

A/N: sorry for the lame ending...please tell me how you like it!
