Chapter One
Jasper Cullen stared up at the ceiling of his room he shared with his wife, Alice. The rest of his siblings had gone to school while he drifted in the memories of his human past despite how little he remembered of it, one thing stood out the most. A black haired man with sharp emerald green eyes that was the commander of the section of their army. Even though he couldn't remember anything else about the older man, he knew that he was important to him before his changing.
"Jasper?" Carlisle called from downstairs in a mixture of concern and worry.
Sighing, he headed down the stairs where he knew Carlisle and Esme had been pacing with worry since earlier that morning when Alice had told them he wouldn't be attending school that day. She hadn't explained why very detailed but the two parents couldn't help but worry.
As he reached the last step of the stairs, the home phone rang causing all of them to glance over at it. Carlisle glanced at his son and noticed with a light frown that the haunted look in his topaz eyes bothered him. Still, the phone continued ringing until Esme reached over and picked it up.
"Hello, Cullen residence." Esme answered while the father and son continued to watch her in confusion and curiosity.
But before any of them could move the person on the other line stated loud enough for Jasper, specifically, to hear, "The sun has lifted from the clouds."
Jasper stilled instantly. Shock written on his face he whispered, "Harry?"
Esme and Carlisle could only watch their son as he moved closer. The haunted look was still there but now there was a range of others such as shock, relief and worry.
"Who else knows that meaning, Major?" Harry mildly reminded with a light tease causing Jasper to chuckle softly.
"How did you?" Jasper began to ask, confused on how the man survived the hundred years since the Civil War.
"Aah, yes. Your memories as a human are pretty scattered, hmm. I'll be arriving in Forks late tomorrow morning. I can explain then and Jasper?" Harry quietly asked, his voice growing more compassionate and worried near the end.
"Yes, General?" Jasper reacted immediately and found himself pondering over why he had called him General so suddenly.
"You will see many others you thought were gone. Be prepared, Jasper." The warning ended with the dial tone of the call being ended, leaving Jasper puzzled.
"Jasper, is there something we should know?" Carlisle placed on his son's shoulder and felt him trembling just slightly.
"I keep remembering a man with black hair and green eyes named Harrison. He was the General of our section of the army." Jasper explained while Esme replaced the phone back into its cradle.
"Are you alright?" Esme fretted, her eyes watching Jasper as he sat down on the couch in the living room.
"I am fine, mama." Jasper assured with a tired tone while closing his eyes.
The two couldn't help but think that things weren't alright but with the knowledge he'd tell them when it was time, they opted to leave their son alone for the time being. Carlisle headed to the library in order to research the general that his son obviously cared about greatly even now. Esme sighed softly after running a hand through Jasper's hair and headed her own way to the garden to tend to the flowers she had planted the week previous.
