Hi everyone, just a little bit about me. My name is Samantha, I love to write about jasper so my stories will all be Jasper centric so if you don't like it don't read. As I've said on my profile this isn't my original pen name. This is a cleaner (for now) account. But lemons might pop up eventually. If you want my other pen name just pm me and I give it to you, just don't be anyone from school. Hahah. Ok now on to the story.

Diclaimer: not mine

******************Bella pov

Nothing hurts more than being rejected by the man you love, or so I thought. As it turns out having his entire family, that you're extremely close with I might add, leave hurts even worse. I got better for a while, Jacob and I were happy together and I finally felt like the missing piece was in place. Then without warning Jacob imprinted. What made it worse was that it was Leah; we had become close since Edward left me. She seemed to be the only one to understand my pain. And now she was gone too. So I did the one thing I could do, I finished high school and moved. Ok, so the way I chose my new home was a little story bookish. I tacked a map of the U.S. on my bulletin board found a pin closed my eyes and jabbed the pin into the cork.

*********6 months later

I sat quietly at the crowded bar. My best friend Jenny was off dancing with her boyfriend. Even though I had come to Texas hoping to escape vampires and all the shit that seemed to follow them I had managed to find the only coven in Texas that lived off of animal blood. Ironic right? At first I was pissed that this was happening all over again, and then I stepped back and took the time to really get to know Jenny and her friends. The small coven turned out to be really nice. Jenny was their leader, well sort of. They all worked for, and I quote Alex, 'the devil in slut's clothes' in other words Maria. None of Jenny's coven liked her. From what I could tell, all she cared about was her territory and Jenny, who was her second in command. In Jenny's coven there was Jenny as the leader, Alex as her mate, then Chris and his mate Max. At first I was surprised when Jen introduced them to me, all vampires I knew with mates were straight. Jenny quickly explained that both boys had been gay as humans and she figured that the trait just carried over with them as they changed. They found their true other half's in each other and if they made each other happy than that's all that mattered. I moved in with Jenny and the rest of her coven a few months after my arrival in Texas. Once Jenny explained the gist of the southern wars to me I decided I felt safer living in a house surrounded by vampires then by myself in a town where humans were looked upon as cattle. Most of the vampires in the southern states that were involved in the wars had heard of Jenny. Her full name was Jennifer Whitlock and it struck terror in the hearts of every unlucky vampire who heard it. Jenny laughingly had explained to me that she had come into her position as Maria's second in command with huge shoes to fill. Evidently the second before her had been known as the god of war, and in my opinion anyone who is called that should be feared. Especially a vampire because there just badass without the extra title. Jenny told me that for the first few months the job was basically do or die.

(Flash back)

"Maria never felt the need to teach me, she passed me off onto her third in command Peter and told him to teach me but keep me a secret. Peter taught me all he knew throughout my newborn year, and then once I was trained Maria sent me to her mansion in Mexico and told me to stay there until she called for me. After a few months she sent Max down to live with me. He came with an order from Maria telling me to train him like Peter had trained me. I used Peter's technique and trained him little by little over his newborn year. After the year was up another newborn was sent to us. This time it was Alex and he told us that Maria wanted me to train him and that him and Max should stay here with me. Alex's newborn year went quickly, another newborn was sent at the end of his year. Chris was probably the worst of the group. He was a natural when it came to fighting but his pranks always pissed me off. Eventually Maria called telling me that she needed me as her second and I was to bring Alex, Max, and Chris with me when I came up to Texas. I learned soon after arriving that Peter was no longer a part of the army, Alex was put in his place and I was shoved into the position of second. I don't know who it was before me but he must have been amazing because vampires were all scared of Maria's second, which helped because for the first few months I had no clue what I was doing."

(end flashback)

I grinned at Jenny who had appeared on the barstool next to me while I was lost in thought.

"Laughing at my expense Bella, newborns have been killed for less around here." She teased poking the artery in my neck gently. I grinned stupidly and poked her back, between the eyes.

"Fuck off Jen, it's my birthday and I'll laugh if I want to." And it was. Today was my 19th birthday, and for the first time in a few years it was turning out to be a happy occasion. Jenny rolled her eyes and spun her stool around leaning back against the bar. I laughed at her position and grabbed the drink she had ordered and mine before mimicking her.

"To the best birthday ever!" Jenny said raising her glass and clicking it against mine.

Ok so there's chapter one. Sorry about my spelling, grammar, _ (incert whatever mistake I didn't say here.) just because I'm almost 16 doesn't mean I can edit my own shit. Lol but I do my best. Please review if you want more chapters or pm me if you want my original penname. Ok ttly-Sam
