The Cruise:
Jasper's sequel
This is Jasper's sequel of my other story: The Cruise. I suggest reading it first but it's not an obligation, I'll try to explain everything so you can read this even if you haven't read THE CRUISE.
Here is a little summary of what you need to know about THE CRUISE to read this:
Jasper and Alice broke up because Alice somehow faked the mate bond between them.
Jasper, along with the Cullen meet Bella who, later, ends up being the soul mate of Klaus (The Vampire Diaries).
Jasper met Klaus, his brother Kol and his sister Rebekah back when he was human and soon, everything becomes clear to him and he leaves Alice who ends up with Edward prisoner of the Volturi for trying to kill Klaus and steal Bella away. Emmett and Rosalie live in Mystic Fall with their 2 adoptive babies The witch Vera Hale McCarty and the boy Henry Hale McCarty.
Jasper left the Cullen's (Now Carlisle and Esmee are all alone) and spent some time with Peter and Charlotte in Texas before going back to Forks for Bella's graduation party. He can go in the sun (just like Emmett and Rosalie) because a witch made him a special ring so he decided to ride to California for the first time in a long time. His plan is to ride aimlessly and to see where life gets him.
Klaus also compelled him to have control over his power. He can feel other people's emotions like he always did and he still can influence them but it doesn't have too much of an impact on him anymore.
Enjoy this first part!
As he drove, Jasper felt the urge to turn right into the road that led to a town called Neptune, he didn't know why but had learned to let instinct and pulls lead him so he did.
He followed the pull for a while until he parked his bike on the campus of HEARST College and decided to follow on foot. He didn't know what it was he was pulled to but he knew it was important. Whatever it was, he felt it would be good news.
He wished he could recognize the different sorts of pull and bonds but he was just now learning to feel them. However, he couldn't help but think that this pull he felt was similar than the one he used to feel when he was around Klaus. It was the one Klaus felt when he was around Bella. This gave him hope. Maybe he was being led to his true mate, to his true love...
As he kept walking, he let his mind wander back to what he had always dreamed his true love would be like, hoping he would meet her soon and forget all about Alice and the mind games she had played on him. He remembered clearly that back when he was human, he thought he would end up marrying one of those charming and delicate southern belle but now... It's not what he needed. He needed someone stronger than that...

Veronica was in her last year at Hearst, only a few weeks left before graduation and the begining of the life she had always dreamed of.
She had done pretty well up til now. Every summer she had an internship at the FBI, she managed to stay at the top of every single one of her classes and she still did a lot of detective work.
Just today, she had busted a Pi Sig for cheating on every single one of his tests of the year and for trying to pin the cheating on somebody else. She knew she had upset him and his friends and as she walked back to her car, she tried to remember when Weevil would be back from visiting his cousin Chardo. She would have loved for him to walk her back to her car tonight, just to be sure nothing happened.
Not that she was scared or anything, she just didn't know what she would do if she ended up being cornered by more than 2 guys without anyone else or even her dog here to help her. She would have loved to ask Wallace or even Piz (since they had managed to remain friends after she broke up with him) but they were off campus. As for Logan, she had managed to stay away from him since the end of her freshman year and she didn't see a reason to change it. He was bad news, she could see it now.
She was deep in her thoughts, clutching her keys in one hand and her dear "mister sparky" in the other one when she saw several tall and large shadows approaching. For a moment, she felt like she was in one of those horror movies and she half expected a serial killer to jump out of the shadows and scare her.
She nervously glanced to her car and she knew that even if she ran, the shadows would get to her before she could reach it.
"Here she is, the little bitch who got me expelled." She heard a harsh voice say.
"Finally alone too." Another male voice said with fake humor.
"Well, maybe you shouldn't have cheated and accused someone else of doing it. I do what I'm hired to do. I was hired to find out who the real culprit was and so I did." Veronica replied, trying not to show how nervous she really was to be surrounded by 6 guy as tall and strong as they were. Seriously, what was in the Pi-Sig water these days?
She could also smell the alcohol on their breath and she knew they had probably prepared this little attack all day while rinking as much as they could without passing out.
"Maybe you should just keep your mouth shut Bitch!" The guy snapped as he rose a hand and hit her hard across the face. She hadn't realised that they were this close to her now. Maybe she should have tried to run back to her car.
Veronica fell on the floor under the blow and even if she was hurt, she tried to get them with the only weapon she had in her hand but since they were holding her down with their feet, she couldn't reach their skin.
She had never been as scared as she was presently but then again, she had never been in such an helpless position before. Not when she went against the Fitzpatrick's, not when she went after Jake Kane and his secret society... They were beating her and she could feel her bones snap and the pain spreading through her, she was slowly letting go when she heard a feral growl she had never heard before.
She didn't know what made that sound but somehow, deep down, she knew that it was here to protect her. She was safe now, she was sure of it.
For a couple of seconds, her eyes crossed the amber ones of her savior. It registered in the back of her mind that amber wasn't a normal eye color for a human but she was in such a state that she didn't question it.
Even in her present situation, she couldn't help but notice just how handsome he looked. In his eyes, she saw that, for some reason, he was strong enough to protect her and that she would be fine.
She watched weakly as he moved faster than humanly possible and got rid of her assailants before he took her in his arms. She wasn't sure what he was saying, she didn't hear much but she heard that doctors wouldn't save her. She knew that, she could feel that it was too late. Then she heard him tell her he had another way... She didn't know why but she believed he had her best interests at heart and she only told him that she didn't want to die.
Soon after that, she felt like her entire body was on fire but his cool touch was soothing to her. As the fire spread slowly through her body, she knew he was moving them, she didn't know where but it didn't matter, she knew she was safe. She could let go now, he would take care of everything.
For a second her father's face appeared in her mind but she decided to let it go, she would find a way to fix it later, when the fire stopped. For the time being, she let the darkness take her.
.
Jasper was walking quietly in the direction of the pull he was feeling getting stronger with each step, urging him to go faster when he heard a cry of pain. He immediately felt a mix of joy and anger on one part and fear and pain on another.
He couldn't help the loud furious growl he let out.
On the floor was a bleeding blond girl who looked about to loose consciousness and he knew, as soon as he saw her that she was the one he was supposed to meet from the beginning. She was his mate and they were hurting her.
No! They were killing her!
He looked her in the eyes for a couple of seconds and he knew that even though she was in pain and confused, she knew she could trust him. She felt it too, the bond and she knew that he would protect her and do his best to save her.
Jasper didn't know what she had done to anger them but it didn't matter to him, he killed them all on the spot without even thinking. Then he quickly covered it up so it would look like they had all attacked each other in an alcohol fueled sparring match, he grabbed his young love with her keys and pressed the button to see which car was hers.
"My name is Jasper Darling' you're fine now. I've got you. You're safe." he said softly and soothingly as he carried her.
"Veronica Mars...hurt...everywhere...help me." she managed to whisper.
"I think you have severe internal bleeding Darling... Doctors can't help you now...but I can... I can save you but you'll be different Darling... Do you want me to do it?" He asked her, needing her approval before she totally lost consciousness.
"I don't want to die...please." She begged him.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine... It's going to hurt for a while but after that you'll be fine Darling. I'll try to take as much of the pain away as I can..." Jasper told her before he bit her and drove her car to his bike.
He installed Veronica in the front seat of her car and he managed to fit his bike in her trunk with the back seat down. Then he drove her a few towns away to an abandoned and isolated house he had noticed earlier.
So, what did you think of this first part?
Please don't forget to review, it's important to me!
