A/N: Yes! This is an actually long story that I have a handle, plot, and half the story written! RD, I'm really just kinda making it up as I go along. But this is the beginning of a five chapter chronicle. At least, I'm pretty sure that there are five…
Anyways.
This is obviously set after Breaking Dawn. These chapters are rather short, but I'll try to update ASAP, 'kay? And check my note about Alice on my profile, right on top. I don't think that it's relevant in this story, but it's just a mandatory thing.
So. Enter into the world of The Unusual, the first in the Chronicles of Odd!
Edwards POV
It was a Thursday afternoon when it happened. I was loading groceries into my car for Renesmee. Bella and I were trying to get her to eat more human food. As I drove home, too slowly to bear, I randomly picked out peoples thoughts out of boredom.
Oh, goodness, I'm going to be late! My boss will be furious! I hope…
Man, nothing! I really thought I could pick out that teddy bear for Carla…
Holy crap! The guy in front of me is going twenty over the limit...
Well, maybe not slow to humans.
But that's when I heard it.
Dude, why is that freakishly beautiful guy following us? Man, stalker much! He looks like a freak; what with those pitch black eyes and that weird glare. Almost like he's hungry. No, starving…
Beautiful? Pitch black eyes? Starving? That does not sound good. I started to drive in the thought's direction.
No POV
"Chelsea? Yo, Chelsea! That guy is stalking us." Cassandra said, jamming her thumb behind her 16 year old sister. Down the street, Jasper Cullen glowered at the girls' backs and matched his pace to theirs. At first. But then started gaining.
"Who?" Chelsea asked, looking behind her. "Oh, you mean the hotness that is Jasper Cullen? Man, he is so freaking sexy! I bet he's coming over to us to ask me on a date! Oh wait, he's going out with that little Alice girl. Well, maybe he broke up with her. Yeah, and now he wants the cutest girl in the 11th grade for his girlfriend!"
"What 'cutest girl in 11th grade'? You better not be talking about you. Because if you are then that's hilarious." her sister jibed. Chelsea frowned at her 13 year old sibling.
"Look, here he comes! Shut up and leave when he asks me out." she ordered.
"But Dad said-!"
"No buts. I don't care what Dad said. Hi Jasper!" she gushed as he stopped in front of them.
"Hello Chelsea." he said civilly. Inside, his plan was set. He hadn't hunted in two and a half weeks and he was ravenous. When these girls walked past him, he couldn't help but follow. He was too far gone into his hunger to stop himself. "Would you like to go to dinner with me tonight? I know a nice place that's off the beaten track." Chelsea looked at her sister smugly.
"Of course I would. Cassandra, go home."
"No."
"What do you mean no?" her sister half growled.
"Dad said that I had to stay with you all day. No exceptions."
"That's fine." Jasper said desperately. "The more the merrier." Chelsea looked stricken, but she nodded and allowed Jasper to lead them towards the alley-ways. Deeper and deeper into the alleys they went, until finally, Cassandra had had enough.
"Dude, how 'off the beaten track' is this place?" she demanded.
Jasper wheeled around and said, "We're here." And with that, he launched himself at Chelsea, sucking her dry. It took seven seconds. In the first two, Cassandra saw and comprehended it. In the next five, she turned around and ran for her life. Jasper chuckled dryly at her naivety and used his vampire speed to catch her up and knock her to the ground with a crunch of her ribs. He had just bitten her, injecting venom to incapacitate her just in case, when a blur of white and bronze crashed into him, wrenching him away from her. She withered for a moment in pain, but then for some reason stopped.
Neither vampire noticed
Edward had Jasper up against a wall and both had instinctive snarls ripping out from their throats.
"How can you Jasper!" Edward managed to get in. "We'll have to relocate again, some poor girl will never again breath, and this one is on her way to not needing to!"
"Her blood! So sweet!" Jasper half moaned, oblivious to his brother's admonishing words. The two stayed there, with Edward holding his breath and his brother so that neither would harm the poor thirteen year old girl that was being changed on the ground behind them.
Ten minutes later, Alice, Carlisle, and Emmett arrived. Emmett immediately wrapped his arms around his brother and half led half carried him away from the scene. Alice followed, murmuring soft, soothing words to her husband. Carlisle and Edward knelt by Cassandra.
"Her ribs are broken, but everything else seems fine." he summarized after looking her over. "But why isn't she screaming and thrashing in pain?"
"Her thoughts are peaceful and calm, not like she's trying to stop herself from showing pain, but like she feels no pain at all. She can hear what we're saying, but she immediately forgets it, like rain sliding off of a raincoat." Edward said, equally confused.
"Well, lets get her back to the house." Carlisle decided. And with that, he picked her up and ran towards the house that they would soon be moving out of.
