Midnight Passion
Prologue:
The black haired girl and her blonde male companion burned the bodies of their fallen comrades.
"There, I think that's the last one," the guy said, wiping his blood-covered hands on his pants. The girl was covered in blood and dust, but her dull red eyes glowed and, to the boy, she still looked stunningly beautiful. He took her face in her hands and pressed his cold lips to hers.
"I'm glad you're still with me, love," she whispered. He smiled and pushed her long, blood-matted hair out of her face. She looked at him adoringly.
"As am I," he reassured her. Out of nowhere, three figures appeared. They were all cloaked in dark capes.
"The Volturi!" the girl gasped. "What do they want?"
"You," her companion hissed, stepping in front of her. One of the figures lifted its hand and the guy fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
"Stop it!" the girl cried. Even as she did, another one of the figures picked her up and sped off. The last thing the blonde vampire saw before blacking out was his mate being stolen from him, her velvet voice crying out his name.
Chapter 1:
"Edward, something is calling to me. I can hear it, I can feel it," Alice said, stopping. Renesme, looked up from Bella's arms, her chocolate brown eyes curious.
"Calling you?" Jasper asked, feeling his mate's emotions. The same feeling was churning inside of him. He knew it well. It was s calling, a long-forgotten voice whispering his name. Jasper moved after Alice, Bella and Edward following. They soon came to a barren wasteland. "It's coming from that cave!" Jasper said and the five made their way over, stopping outside the entrance. Renesme wiggled in Bella's arms and she set her down, holding onto her hand.
"Hey, are we going in or what?" Edward asked. Even as he said this, the other vampires went inside the cave. Once darkness surrounded them, Renesme yanked her hand from Bella's and ran forward.
"Momma, there's a girl!" she cried from the darkness.
"A girl?" Alice echoed, running toward the sound of Renesme's voice. A glowing blue light lit up a small space when they turned the corner. The source of the light was a chunk of ice that stretched across the room. Everyone was staring wide eyed and open mouthed at the girl frozen inside the middle of the ice.
"Why do you think she's in there?" Renesme asked.
"I don't know, sweetie," Bella answered. The room was silent.
"Jasper? Jasper, what's wrong?" Alice asked, putting her hand on her trembling mate's arm. His eyes were wide as he stared at the girl frozen in the ice. Edward's eyes widened and his jaw fell open. No doubt he had read the blonde vampire's mind. Jasper moved forward, unaware of Alice's worried cries.
"Edward, tell me what's going on this instant!" she yelled. But the bronze-haired boy just shook his head and muttered, "This is something Jasper has to tell you himself," Due to Jasper's ominous powers of controlling emotions, everyone was feeling shocked, mental pain, and disbelief. Jasper placed a shaky hand on the ice. Right as he did, however, it cracked.
"Get back!" he commanded, jumping back and pulling Alice against him. Right as everyone had pushed their backs against the far wall, the ice shattered. Dust and ice flew everywhere. The air cleared and the girl was on the ground, unconscious.
"We should take her back to the house," Bella murmured.
"Who will carry her?" Jasper asked and then left without an answer, pulling Alice with him.
"Guess I will," Edward grunted and pick up the girl, bolting home. Bella followed, Renesme in her arms. When they entered the big white house, Edward laid the girl on the table.
"Who's that?" Rosalie asked. Everyone turned their attention to Jasper. He just stared at the black-haired girl.
"Dude, Jasper! Snap out of it!" Emmett cried, slapping him on the back.
"Her name is Alyssa Beth. She was apart of my newborn army. But when she harnessed her unique powers, she was kidnapped and killed by the Volturi. Well, she was supposed to be killed. Who knows, she's most likely dead anyways," Jasper explained. Edward snorted and he glared at him.
"Why did you bring her here?" Esme asked in her soft voice.
"I thought it would be a good idea," Bella answered for him. Jasper just shrugged, but the whole room could feel his discomfort.
"Well, hello there," Carlisle mused. Everyone turned to Alyssa, who was looking around the room with dull reddish-brown eyes. Jasper tensed when their eyes met and held.
"Ja-jasper?" she gasped. The room went silent and filled with apprehension. Alyssa sat up and she grabbed onto Carlisle when she swayed. Her eyes widened, then darkened.
"It's unusual to see you again after so many years my friend," she said. Everyone relaxed when she said, my friend. Jasper nodded.
