Summary: Bella moves into Forks where she meets Edward and Jasper, two vampires who her blood sings for. Jasper and Edward both have no mate so when Bella sparks their interests, a family feud is bound to happen. The question is, who will she choose?
AN: I've read a couple stories in which Jasper is affected by Bella the way Edward was, and I thought they were really cute! An idea popped into my head, "What if both Edward and Jasper were affected by Bella's blood?..." I couldn't find a story like that on here so I decided to write my own, and here we are: The first chapter of Cantante Di Anima Per Due. That translates to Blood Singer for Two. Got to love online translators don't you?
Disclaimer: One time, I owned Twilight, and it was awesome. I had control of all the characters and I owned it and it was awesome and I owned it and it was awesome and I owned it then I woke up. So the lesson learned here is that run-ons are evil and I don't own Twilight.
Chapter One: Partners
Edward POV
All of the thoughts revolved around Isabella, the new girl, today. In almost every head her face was prominent. I could see that she was pretty, not extremely so, but very average for a human. The only place her presence would be noted is, of course, here as a addition to the rather small student body.
The exceptions to the overwhelming thoughts of Bella, or so I heard she prefers to be called, is my family. Rosalie is, as always, thinking of herself, while Emmett is thinking of Rosalie, in ways I'd prefer not to hear. Jasper is thinking of his last slip. When we were hunting, we came across an unfotunate young woman who had been seperated from her hiking group. I was too far away to stop Jasper. Therefore, he's wallowing in self pity.
I felt bad for Jasper, since being the most recent convert to our vegetarian lifestyle is hard for him. He's made a few mistakes and he's still adjusting. It's hard being in his head. He knows it too, so that just makes him feel worse, which then radiates from him, making us upset too.
That darn domino effect.
"Jasper..." I began.
"Sorry." He gave a timid smile and I could tell he's trying.
Sometimes I think that he needs a mate. I think we both need one, but Jasper beats my needs by far. He requires someone who will make him feel better, someone that understands, and just a happy person. That would balance him out.
We sat with our props of food, and I saw the school's new topic of interest sitting with Jessica Stanley. Thank goodness she has finally gotten over me, and moved on to a more generic Mike Newton.
I tried to get a sense of the new girl's conversation. Jessica and herself were looking at us and no doubt dishing out the rumors about the mysterious Cullen family. I couldn't get a mind pattern out of Bella. I'm sure I just have to hear her voice, get closer to her, or something. She's unfamiliar so that ma affect it.
"What about the bronze-haired one?" She's asking about me. Of course she would have picked Jasper or myself seeing as we weren't together with a mate or anything.
"Edward? He's gorgeous, obviously, but he doesn't date. Don't bother wasting your time."
After that, she made an accusation about my family. I looked at the others to see if they had heard her speculation, but they were all too involved with their own thoughts.
"Ms. Stanley just took a guess about what we are." I muttered. They all looked slightly nervous. We didn't want to leave Forks quite yet. It's perfect here.
To calm their worries I continued, "She thinks Jasper and I are..." I drew it out. I wanted to see the look ontheir faces when they think that people figured out we aren't normal.
"What?!" Emmett hadn't yelled, but was certainly loud, and overreacting.
"Gay." Emmett and Rose laughed out of relief. Jasper and I chuckled out of humor.
"Eddie-boy, Jasper, is there something you would like to tell us?" Emmett joked.
We all just sat there laughing for a minute. I mean, honestly, who would think we're gay?
The bell rang and interrupted our fun. We got rid of our trays and walked to our classes. For me it was biology. When Bella walked into my class, I cleared the spot next to me because there were no other seats. This would be a long semester for both of us. She sat down and I stiffened.
She smells so delicious.
No Edward. She has a family and friends. I will not ruin her life, or kill her.
Just do it. The monster gave it's blessing to kill her and enjoy it.
NO! The more righteous side fought. I knew I had to wait out this class period.
I kept torturing myself until I couldn't take it anymore. The bell rang and I all but ran from this demon sent to torture me. I went to sit in my car and listen to music. I had to calm myself.
Bella POV
What is with that Cullen boy? He seemed ready to kill me or something. I made my way to P.E. with Mike. He kept asking me questions about my life in Pheonix. He seemed very nice, and very much like a puppy, so loyal.
When I walked into the gym, dressed and ready to go, I smiled as I saw everything set up for badmitton. Let my torture begin, along with killings of my classmates. Obviously I'm clumsy and sports aren't my forte.
I picked up my racket as the coach assigned partners. I was paired with Jasper Hale. He was one of the boys adopted by the Cullens. He is handsome just like the rest of them, and girls shot me envious looks when we walked onto court three together. He seemed ready to bend his racket in half, and by racket, I mean my neck.
Jasper POV
She's scared of me. She has good reason to seeing as I'm about to drink her blood.
No Jasper! You've slipped recently! No more guilt. Don't kill her!
But she smells amazing!
No! Jasper, You've worked incredibly hard to maintain your life! Don't ruin it again!
What's one more person? You've already killed so many. Please?
NO! Wait it out, then go see Carlisle.
And with that, I waited out the hour, lightly tapping the birdie, feeling the fear from Isabella, and trying very hard not to kill her.
Good or Bad? Hit or miss?
Let's just pretend for awhile that it's a junior/senior mixed PE class.
