Disclamer: I do not own the Twilight series

This is pre-twilight, so no Bella

"Y'all are bunch of liars." I shake my head angrily at Edward and Emmett as we wonder through the woods. "Carlisle wouldn't do that! He's a good man."

"He's only done it once. That's all it took." Edward says slowly. He's nervous as can be talking about this.

"You're not the only one who has dealt with an angry coven leader. Carlisle made it clear to us what he has the power to do the moment we woke from the change. It's like hazing to get into a club or something." Emmett explains.

"Just like hazing." Edward agrees with a quick nod of his head.

"As soon as we woke up, bam!" Emmett leaps forward slightly, making me jump. He chuckles and if I still could blush, my face would be red with embarrassment. "He was there to show us that he's in charge, and he has the power. He beat the shit out of us."

"You would have been stronger than him." I roll my eyes, thinking I found the hole in their story that they didn't think about.

"We may have been stronger, but we had no idea what was going on and knew no fighting strategy." Edward says. He eyes me up and down. "Maybe that's why he hasn't done it to you."

"Dude, that's it," Emmett pats Edward's shoulder and jabs his thumb at me. "That's why he's always so distant, too. He hasn't gone through it."

"That could be it." Edward nods. "As soon as he was done beating us, Carlisle said we were officially part of the family."

"That's it. That's his problem."

"Carlisle's probably just waiting for the right time."

"Yeah, probably." Edward says. He and Emmett keep looking at and talking about me like I'm livestock at an auction or something. "Jazz doesn't really rebel or anything, so Carlisle is probably just waiting for him to get gutsier."

"And waiting gives him more time to watch how Jasper reacts to a confrontation. Once he knows all of Jasper's fighting techniques, he'll do it to him, too."

"Screw both of you," I mumble and turn towards home. "I'm not staying here and listening to your tall tales."

"Wait, Jasper!" Edward calls after me. I stop and glance back at him. "Don't tell Dad we told you, okay? We're not exactly allowed to talk about it."

"Right." I roll my eyes. "More like he'll bust your tails if he knew you were telling such lies."

"He's serious, Jasper." Emmett crosses his arms over his chest. "Carlisle took him out back and belted him like crazy when he told me abut it I even went through it, and he still didn't want us talking about it. Don't talk, or we will get our tails busted like never before."

"You both are liars."

"Don't tell him." Emmett growls.

"Let him tell Dad." Edward shakes his head at me. "I bet Dad will realize it's time to do it to him if he tells."

"We'll still get a beating."

Edward looks over at me and chuckles.

"Not like the one he'll get."

"You guys are the worst liars!" I shake my head. "I'm going home."

"Go on home, but watch your back. It's only a matter of time before Carlisle decides to make you part of the family." Emmett sneers at me. I ignore him and take off towards home.

I keep running until I reach home.

Dang liars. They're stupid if they think I believe them. Spoiled brats, that's what they are. Carlisle's a good man who has given them a good life and would never do that.

But even if he's a good man, he's still the leader of a vampire coven. He had to keep them under control as newborns somehow.

As I walk into the house, I see Carlisle and Esme laughing in each others arms. Carlisle has one hand on Esme's waste, and the other hand around hers as they dance. Rosalie and Alice are on the couch smiling at them. Old music comes from Carlisle's new phone that sits on the coffee table.

There's no way he did what Emmett and Edward said. He didn't beat anyone in his clan. Esme wouldn't be dancing with him like that, and Rosalie wouldn't be sitting there watching them so happily.

But then again... Esme never questions Carlisle. Is it because he proved his strength to her already? And Rosalie isn't usually that happy. Is she so bitter because of what Carlisle did to her?

What about my Alice? If he even thinks about hurting her...

"Jasper!" Alice smiles and bounds over to me, practically floating through the air with her light steps. She grabs my hands and we join in on the dance. Her movements are so flowing, so free. I laugh as we move to the music, but the thoughts of Carlisle's "hazing" is still fresh in my mind. I keep my eyes on him.

Carlisle spins Esme under his arm. She smiles and kisses him before letting go of his hands. Carlisle goes over to Rosalie and offers her his hand.

"Would you care to dance?" He asks with a smile.

She chuckles and takes his hand. He pulls her up from the seat and the dance around with a bigger gap between them. She laughs and he whispers something to her and she laughs again. He spins her just like he did Esme, then kisses her forehead.

"Don't let that big husband of yours know we're dancing." He laughs. She laughs along with him.

The song ends and so does our dancing. They all return to the couch. I stand behind the couch and rub Alice's shoulders, ready to jump if Carlisle decides to make any move towards her.

I mean, he probably won't. Edward and Emmett are just lying to me. But still, just in case...

"Where did you find that song?" Rosalie asks.

"YouTube." Carlisle answers.

"You know how to work YouTube?" She chuckles.

"Hey, I'm up to date with all this new Internet craze." He smiles.

Alice and Rosalie start throwing out jokes about Carlisle's age, and even Esme joins in. Carlisle takes them all with grace and a smile, but I worry that maybe he's just remembering what Alice is saying.

I take a deep breath to try to clear my head. This whole thing is ridiculous. Emmett and Edward are liars.

"Honey, are you okay?" Alice asks, looking up at me. I kiss her on the top of her head, but keep my eyes on Carlisle.

"I'm fine, love."
