Surprise Feelings

This is totally non-canon. A bit of OOC.

For those of you who do not know who Fred is; He is a character from the S.M. Book called, "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner." I do believe that there was a lot of missed potential with him. My Fred is inspired by the actor Cillian Murphy. I own nothing. Anything recognizable belongs to S. Meyer.

I'm sitting in my dark corner of the basement picking apart the arm of the chair that I'm sitting on with my finger tips. Picking on things is an old nervous habit that I had when I was human. Not that I miss my human life or anything, but some habits kinda stayed with me. Never could keep my hands still..

Thinking back to that day.. It was a seemingly regular day when I was walking home and Riley grabbed me, bit me and the next thing I knew; I was waking up from the most painful burning I had ever felt. My throat was still on fire and there was screaming and fighting going on all around me. Not knowing what was going on, I kept my eyes closed and listened to everything before I made a move. There was no way way in hell that I was going to let myself be known before I was ready.

As I realized that everything seemed to be going on around and away from me I slowly opened my eyes wishing I could go back to unconsciousness again. I woke-up to the most horrible scene. It felt like the set of a cheesy horror movie where all the violence is unnecessary and nothing makes any sense. Looking to my left I saw a young girl whose arm was torn off but she was still alive and fighting. Watching this spectacle; I told myself that I was going to get the fuck out asap. I just needed to bide my time. I need to know where I am, who and what I'm dealing with and with any luck.. an answer to the most important question of all. Why?

This new life is scary yet there is so much potential and opportunity that I never had before. I'm stronger, more capable and my brain works so much better and faster now. My gift helps keep the others at a distance. My years of hiding from bullies as a human seemed to manifest into my ability that I'm currently learning the ins and out of. So far, I can blend into the background completely unnoticed, I can hide my scent and make so others want to stay away from my general area. The downside of course is the taking of human life. I abhor it. Being a victim my entire life doesn't exactly make me comfortable with the idea of taking victims of my own.. if only there was another way.

I've learned that the red-headed bitch Victoria is the one ordering all of our changes. They are taking young ones. Homeless ones. Ones who will not be missed. With my gift, I've been able to spy on Victoria and Riley. She's using him. He doesn't see it, but I do. They are both lying to us and I want nothing more for them to fail. Well yea, and get away of course. I won't have any part in their idiotic plans. The yellow eyes that she says threaten our hunting grounds have never been seen in the area. Not only that, but her main objective seems to be a human. What threat could one human be?

Tonight, when we split up to hunt, I am going to use my gift and disappear. My plan is to find the human and warn her. Hopefully, without gaining the attention of the yellow eyes. I have no intent on being captured even if I can't stand the idea of Victoria being victorious in her attack. For now, I wait and pick apart this chair.

Tomorrow we are going to be training the dogs on how to fight newborns. I'm not looking forward to spending a day surrounded by the smell of wet dog, sweat and farts. They really do fart more than I ever woulda imagined. It's disgusting. Almost as if in dog form they have no control over their functions. Maybe they haven't thought to try? Who knows. It's just gross..

Today has been an odd day. Peter called out of the blue and told me to pay extra attention to the moods after training. Of course I'll do it. He always has a reason for his strange cryptic shit. I just wish he wasn't always so dang cryptic.

To make things more interesting Alice comes to me and asks me to go on a quick hunt. Just the two of us. Not that it was a strange request, but her behavior is strange. We went to our spot where she told me that no matter what happens, we will always be great friends. I asked her what's going to happen? Did she have a vision? She closed her eyes and shook her head sadly and said, "Jasper, I'm not sure who it was, but someone is coming and it involves you. There was no danger, but we will not be together anymore."

I tried to get her to explain. Give me details. Anything. She just said, "Every thought I have had to change it only ends in disaster. We both know we aren't mates. We were companions until such time that we found our mates. I have a feeling you will find yours. If we try to change the outcome. Both you and your mate will die." She stood up from the tree stump and kissed my cheek then said, "Don't worry. Everything will happen as it should. I'll always love you as my best friend." Then she ran off into the forest and I just sat there frozen in shock.

Is that what Peter was talking about? Why do I need to pay attention to feelings after training. The area will be surrounded by the dogs and the rest of us. I have a mate? I wonder if she is human or vampire.. Either way it won't matter. Things will happen as they will. I could feel the honesty in Alice's words. She is sad, but hopeful. A mate..

My phone buzzes and I have a text from Peter. "Keep an open mind fucker." I text back, "Always fucker." Then put my phone away, brush myself off and decide to go for a hunt by myself. I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a long fucking day.

That was almost too easy. I was assigned to Diego who was distracted by Bree. It didn't take much to hide my scent and mask myself. I took off running south at vampire speed, determined to make it as far as I could before I sought shelter. I ran for an hour before I slowed down on the outskirts of a small town and kept myself masked. I scouted around looking for a house that was occupied, but empty.

After a month with no shower I was feeling ripe even though we do not sweat or have body odor. I have been on several hunts. Not all have been clean. I really hate to do this, but it's not like I can walk up to someone and ask for help with my red eyes. The big white house at the end of a cul de sac seems like a good prospect. Now, I just have to hope that a male lives there.. just about my size. Wishful thinking. There are no heart beats so I feel comfortable enough to try it. I keep to the shadows and take what's left of my ratty tee shirt off and wrap it around my hand; then squeeze the knob on the back door until it breaks.

The door opens slowly. Maybe I shouldn't have broken the knob. It will certainly be reported to the police. Damn. I gotta think smarter. I move through the house quickly and find that this is the home of what looks like a single mom. Great. Now I feel even worse. I move quickly through the home and find a teenage boy's room close enough to my size. I grab a back pack and fill it with some clothes, sunglasses and a jacket then move onto the mother's room. Nothing in there, but I do grab a couple of towels, comb and toiletries from the bathroom and a laptop from the office. Sadly, all of the shoes are too small for me so I have to make do with what I have. In the kitchen I find a swear jar and empty it of all the bills before I take off. I make a mental note of the address as I leave because I intend to pay them back when I can.

I'll have to find a place to wash up. I take off into the tall Washington trees so, I won't be spotted while I hack into the laptop and reset the password. I'm able to easily locate the neighborhood and get directions to a town called Forks. On the way, I spot a lake that's in the wilderness. That's where I'll clean up. No need to scare the human with my appearance after all. I put the jacket on and toss everything in the bag and I'm off. I really hope I'll be able to find what I'm looking for tomorrow.

A/N Hi again! It begins.. Not sure how long this one will be, but it will be at least 10 chapters. There will be no poly in this one. Hope you like it!
