My Brother, My Enemy
Okay, this is my new story. I should be focusing on "Behind These Hazel Eyes", but I just got this idea and it won't leave me until I write it down. So that's what I do. Honestly, the idea for this story came only because I love the name Robbie.
The story will have from 3 to 10 chapters, it depends how much Jasper wants me to write. It'll be only from Jasper's POV, I think, but maybe a chapter will be told from Rosalie's or Bella's.
It's the first time for me to write in present tense, so I hope that's okay, too.
The story is almost all canon, Post Breaking Dawn. I said almost all canon, because there will be something different compared to the books, but I don't think it makes it AU. Just slightly.
Thank you to .Pins.x for beta'ing!
Disclaimer: I am not Stephenie Meyer, so I most definitely don't own Twilight. However, I do own the plot of this story.
Enjoy!
Friend's Warning
Four years. That's how much has passed since Renesmee was born. All that time, our life has been a constant paradise. The emotions in the house are all positive and what's the most important; my Alice is happy. There is no one to threaten us and no one is sad; so all that's left to do is enjoy our endless lives. I really like it, and I'm grateful to Edward for bringing Bella and Nessie into our family. Sometimes I can't understand how we managed to live without them. And here I am, lying on the bed with my beautiful wife, enjoying the peaceful climate.
That is, until she shifts in my arms and looks up at me, her eyebrows furrowed and her emotions changing slightly.
She sighs and then says, "Jazz, I have to tell you something."
"What is it, darlin'?" I ask, sitting up.
Her big, innocent eyes bore into mine as she sits up as well and takes my hand in hers. "Promise you won't be mad at me?"
I smile, not understanding where this is going. "Yes, I promise. Now tell me," I command softly.
She sighs again and stares at our hands. "I've been having these visions for a while. It's always the same only it gets clearer and clearer. Now I know it definitely will be happening."
I cup her cheek with my hands. "What is it about?" I can feel she is concerned, and, even though I don't know what the vision is about, it makes me uncomfortable.
She bites her lip. "At first I see the Volturi, and then it mostly focuses on this vampire. He's in the woods, it seems vaguely familiar, but I can't identify the place. I see him feeding on a human." We both wince at that.
I raise a brow. It doesn't make sense why she would see that. "What does the man look like?" My voice is serious.
"At first I couldn't see him, but now I can pretty much tell you every detail. He is tall, as tall as you and his hair is pale blond. His eyes have this shining in them, they make me feel weird. I don't recognize him."
I search through my memories. Who do I know that is tall, with pale blond hair and shining in his eyes? Peter has pale blond hair, but he is smaller than me. I can't think of anyone with such a physical appearance.
I glance down at Alice and I blurt out two questions at once. "Have you told anyone about it? Does Edward know?"
She smiles at me. "No and no. I didn't find it relevant and I don't know if you noticed, but lately, Edward has been too busy with his wife and child to be around much."
"Do you see anything else about this man? Maybe his intentions?" She closes her eyes and searches into the future, but when she opens them, I already know the answer.
"No. Only this vision. But I think we shouldn't worry; I don't see us being in danger."
I look at her for a moment, and then I nod slowly. "I suppose you're right. We should tell Carlisle, though. Just so he knows what's going on." I sit up and take her with myself as well, but before we have a chance to leave the room, my phone rings.
I quickly pick up, only to see Peter's name on the screen.
"Hey, Pete."
There is some noise in the background; I hear Charlotte's voice, then Peter talks into the phone. "Major, I need you to tell me something. Has Alice had any strange visions these days?" He speaks hurriedly, like he's in a rush, and I look at Alice questioningly, wondering if I should tell my friend about what she has seen. She nods her head once.
"Yes, she's seen this man in the woods, killing a human. It doesn't seem relevant, though; I don't even know why she sees him."
Peter takes in a shaky breath and there is shuffling again. "Jasper," – he uses my name, which means something serious is going on, but it's the tone in his voice that worries me – "Listen to me, I've had this feeling for a few days now that we are all in great danger, I think you and the Cullens need to…" He abruptly stops speaking, then there is a loud crash, and I hear voices yelling and shrieking mixing with loud noise, it somehow sounds like someone is fighting. As I think about that, I start frantically calling out to my best friend.
"Pete? Peter, are you there? Peter!"
Silence. All I get is silence. No more voices or noise, everything is just… quiet. I feel like I'm talking to myself. I am about to end the call, when a voice speaks in the phone.
"Hello, Jasper."
The voice doesn't say anything else, but I recognize it instantly.
The phone falls out of my hand and I stand there, frozen, unable to move or to even think straight.
"Robbie..." I whisper, staring ahead of me, the memories assaulting my mind.
So... Right. Did you like it? Or you didn't like it? Leave a review to let me know if it's worth continuing this.
