Chapter 1
"Harley you are so impossible!" Emmett yelled.
"No, you're the one who is being impossible! What is your problem?" She shouted back.
Jasper shook his head and tried to drown out their noise. Emmett and Harley fought every five minutes, or so it seemed. Even when Carlisle and Esme had first brought her into their lives, she and Emmett fought.
Jasper laughed as he remembered the day she entered their existence...
FLASHBACK
"Is everything okay, Carlisle?" Edward asked, with a serious look on his face.
Carlisle looked around at everyone. "Yes, but we need to talk. Esme and I...have adopted a little girl."
Esme walked in, holding a three year-old girl. She was the cutest thing they had ever seen in any of their years living...or in death. She looked out at them, with her big purple eyes, and smiled.
"Carlisle? Why are her eyes purple?" Jasper said, and lowered his head. "Wait…"
Jasper saw Edward give him a look, and Edward nodded. "Is she human?" He asked.
"She is human. Yes. But she is also half-vampire. But I must warn you. Even though she is a half-vampire, she will act human. She will sleep, breathe, eat and grow up like a normal living, breathing person."
"Do you think we can handle that Carlisle? I mean...she has blood running through her veins." Rosalie asked, looking at Jasper.
It was true...he was the newest vegetarian, but he had been handling it very well. Ever since he and Alice had joined the Cullen family, they had to learn how to handle being around humans all of the time.
"Yes we can. She is still half-vampire. But I must bring up a more serious matter. Although Harley is human, she still has powers. She has strength that matches ours, and she also has the ability to know what is going on in other places. Anywhere in the world...she can see it clear as day. But that is not the worst...when she gets angry...well...how do I explain this?" he glanced at Esme and thought for a moment. "You see how her eyes are a purple color?" Everyone nodded. "Well when she gets really angry they turn jet-black and she isn't Harley anymore. Her little body has been taken over by this...darkness."
"What kind of darkness?" Alice spoke for the first time from beside Jasper.
"It is known as the 'Phoenix'. It is very dangerous. When Harley gets angry it takes over her body, and she does not know what she is doing. She under complete control. The only way for it to leave her is when she calms down. Which is where Jasper comes in handy."
He nodded. "Don't worry...nothing is going to happen to her."
Those big purple eyes were still staring at him, until Emmett started to tickle her. "Emmett I wouldn't do that..."
Suddenly she screamed and the light fixtures shook. Her scream was painful even for the vampires. It was deafening and so high-pitched it was as if only dogs could here it...or vampires.
"DID I FORGET TO MENTION THAT SHE HAS A VERY WICKED SCREAM?" Carlisle yelled over the noise.
Jasper stood and took Harley from Esme. "Harley." That was all he had to say and there was immediate silence.
Then she turned in my arms and looked at Emmett. She raised her hand and hit his face. Then he poked her arm, and she responded by hitting his face once more, resulting in another poke from Emmett. This went on and on until Harley started crying. Jasper pulled her away and started whispering to her. She fell asleep immediately. From then on everyone knew that the two of them would be close.
Jasper smiled as Harley came storming into his room. "Emmet is such a...butt head." She said plopping down on the floor, trying to look dramatic.
He chuckled, and went to sit next to her. "Butt head? You're sixteen and you call your brother a butt head?"
She fake-glared at him. "You know what...?"
"What?" he challenged.
"I don't know." She sighed. "He drives me crazy! God I wish he would just leave me alone!"
Jasper looked at her, worried. "Calm down, Leigh."
She looked up at him with those innocent, purple eyes. "I'm fine Jasper. He just pisses me off."
He shook his head again. "Why do you let him get to you?"
"Because I do. Why do you ask so many questions?" She challenged now.
He grinned. "Because I'm your big brother and I know it annoys you."
She stood. "I think I know what will cheer me up though..."
Jasper's eyes grew wide. "Go get Alice this time. She likes to shop. Not me."
She cocked her eyebrow. "Fine. I need her opinion on a new outfit anyway...you know...one for Jack." She then ran out.
It took a moment for her words to register in his mind and then he raced to the door. "Jack? We will be talking about this later!" He yelled but she was already gone.
Hey guys! So I wrote this story a while ago and posted it on a different site, but I figured I would post it on here now! I hope you like it. I am going through and editing it from the way I wrote it on the other site, because I think I can make it better. So if you read it there before, that is why it might look different!
