Jasper's POV
We just moved again today, from Alaska to Forks. Why? Because I am weak. I couldn't control my thirst, I couldn't control myself. I was powerless to the blood lust I felt when near those humans. And now Rose is off somewhere being pissed and probably thinking of ways to kill me. Carlisle found a new job easily, what with his skills, who wouldn't hire him. Edward was brooding in his room as usual. Emmett was being, well Emmett, nothing could bring him down. Esme was being motherly trying to comfort me and everyone else. And Alice, my sweet Alice, she tried to comfort me best she could. But they all felt a bit of annoyance for me, I could feel it, no matter how well they though they hid it. So that leads me to now, running in the dense forest of Forks. Looking for my next meal, animal of course.
"Hey, bro, mind if I join you? I'm in the mood for some grizzly!", I heard Emmett yell.
"Ya, sure, just don't scare off all the animals like last time.", I relented.
I just wanted to be alone and wallow in self pity. But that's never an option with Emmett around. I continued to run with Emmett behind me. Suddenly, Emmett came to a complete stop behind me. I made a quick stop and turned in my heel to face him. I walked towards him with a confused look on my face.
"You don't smell that?", He asked.
I stopped walking and sniffed. Blood, lots of blood. But it didn't appeal to me. It was stale, spilt awhile ago. But there was a fresh scent, which meant they were still alive.
"C'mon, I'm ok, let's check it out.", I told him. I felt his doubt but we continued on. Following the scent, we came across a secluded, small, two story house. The scent of stale blood was strong. Emmett looked at me.
"Are you sure you're good. We can call Carlisle.", he said
"Nah, man, it's stale, it doesn't appeal to me at all.", I explained to him. If it was anyone else with me they wouldn't have trusted me. But Emmett, he always believed in me. More than Alice sometimes.
As we got closer, I heard a heartbeat. I look at Emmett, silently asking him if he heard it to, he nodded.
We rushed inside the house and all I saw was red. Blood was covering every inch of the living room. And in the corner were two mangled up bodies. I heard sniffling in a nearby closet and slowly walked over to check inside. Emmett was still looking around the room, he didn't notice me. I opened up the door, it made a loud creaking sound and inside was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen.
A tiny girl around the age of two or three was inside. Her clothes spattered with, what I'm assuming were her parents, blood and her mahogany colored hair matted with dried blood. She had scratches all over her arms and a huge gash on her forehead that was still bleeding. But I was too worried for the girl to feel the bloodlust. I heard Emmett come up behind me.
She looked up at me with tear filled, chocolate brown, innocent eyes.
"P-please. Please d-don't hurt me.", she stuttered in the sweetest voice I've ever heard.
"It's alright darlin', I won't hurt ya, I'm here to help. My names Jasper, this is my brother Emmett.", I told her in a hushed voice. Didn't wanna scare the little thing.
"I'm Isabella. Are my parents in heaven with grandma and grandpa?", she questioned. My heart broke for the little girl.
"Ya. Ya, darlin' they are. But they're happy now, and they're gonna be watchin' over ya.", I told her.
She smiled at me and promptly fainted. I grabbed her before her head could bang against the floor. I picked her up like a baby and took her out of the closet. Emmett came up to me to get a closer look at her.
"We should take her to the hospital.", he said. I quickly agreed and we ran to Forks Hospital, where Carlisle worked. As soon as we got there he was waiting for us with a bed for me to put her in. I gave him a weird look.
"Alice.", he stated.
That was all he said before leaving with Isabella. Leaving me and Emmett behind. I could feel Emmett's pain and my own as she was rolled away from us.
