Only in Forks (Jasper Hale one-shot)
I do not own Twilight in any way.
The waves crash on the shore. The waves lap at her ankles and calves.
I shouldn't be here, but I am. I'm here watching her; sunbathing on the beach. I take one step forward and a twig snaps.
She shoots up; her dark chocolate brown eyes looking around frantically. She's not a wolf daughter, I know that much.
The wind blows and leaves swirl around her.
She closes her eyes and it seems as though she's listening to the wind.
I take this moment to walk towards her.
Sensing me, her eyes snap open.
She stares up at me terrified.
*past tense*
"My name is Jasper Hale", I said. I held my hand out and she jerked back from me. "Hey, it's okay", I said softly, "I'm not gonna hurt you". I knelt down with my hand held out.
After a few seconds, she placed her hand in mine. Her dark skin contrasted against my pale skin.
Chestnut and marble.
I heard a howl in the distance. I helped the girl up as the wolf pack came out of the trees.
"I knew I smelled a bloodsucker", Jacob said.
"Jake don't", the girl said.
"Ivy!" Quil yelled, "How dare you put your paws on my sister! I'll kill you!"
"Quil stop! If you kill him, I swear I'll never forgive you!" Ivy yelled, "I love him! He's my soul mate!"
"As long as he doesn't turn you into a leech", Jacob said.
"I won't do anything she doesn't want me to", I said.
"I've already stopped aging", Ivy said, "I knew I was going to meet him today. I took the potion this morning".
"Potion?" I asked.
"I'm a witch", she said.
"Is nothing mythical anymore?" I asked.
"Not in Forks, Washington", Ivy said.
