Jasper and Edward-A new beginning. Chapter 2
Edward recoiled horrified at what he had done. It was against everything he had ever believed in, but it felt so right.
He rose to his feet and flung himself at Jasper in anger. Jasper laughed as Edwards's body pounded into him and they rolled together on the grass.
Someone in the crowd screamed, people begun converging around the dead girl, her body left lying on the grass used and no longer needed.
Edwards forced Jasper upwards throwing him high up into the air and began to run. Jasper landed and followed Edward shadowing his every move. He was usually so much faster than Jasper, but he was so tired he felt five hundred. He never wished he could sleep more than he did at that moment.
A horrible accident had happened, his life was changed and he could never go home. He would have to tell Bella and Carlisle what he had done. Bella would never understand with her perfect self-control.
And Nessie dear gorgeous Nessie! She now had a murderer for a parent.
He knew he should feel bad and he wanted to, He wanted the guilt to come so he would never think of doing something like that again. But he didn't feel guilty. Now he knew why Jasper had such trouble being a vegetarian.
It was not natural. It was out of order on the food chain.
Edward stopped running and Jasper fell into step beside him. They walked silently till the street lights got further apart and every second house was vacant.
Abandoned cars sat on the side of the road with people leaning against them.
"I gutta stop for a snack," said Jasper.
"You just ate," Edward smelt the air. Human stench permeated his nostrils. It felt as if his whole body was absorbing it, crying out for blood.
Edward snarled.
"That's the spirit," said Jasper laughing.
A single figure walked along the street toward them, Edward took a step into the shadows, allowing Jasper the kill he craved.
Jasper opened his mind to Edward showing him its every corner.
The man didn't try to avoid Jasper, in fact he barely noticed him. His head was down and he walked quickly he was big enough not to have to worry about some young boy on the street.
Jasper walked behind him loudly, invaded his personal space. The guy turned around and raised his fist as if to say 'back away or I'll punch you.'
"Boo," said Jasper.
"Knock it of," said the guy, not interested.
Edward knew that his name was Steven that he was thirty four and he was on his way home from the bar to his wife. He had not committed a great evil. There was no reason for his life to be taken, except for fate. Fate had put him in Jasper's path and now he would die. Edward decided he was not going to be judge, jury and executioner over who should live and die.
He would take his victims as Jasper did now, from those who crossed his path.
Jasper looked so right, his mouth clasped onto the mans neck, gently sucking.
Jasper looked up, taking a moment from his place of ecstasy to lock eyes with Edward.
'Join me' he silently pleaded.
Jasper looked so venerable, he held out his arm, inviting Edward in. Edward could read the fear of rejection in his mind. He would not be the one to give him that. He joined Jasper and bit into the other side of Steve's Neck.
Steve was now the meat in their sandwich. They pushed their bodies into him, he was unconscious and quiet. Jaspers hand crept around Steve's neck so that his fingers grazed the side of Edwards face.
Edward did the same to Jasper and felt him suck the last piece of life out of Steve.
They let his body fall to the ground, forgotten.
Edward stepped away from Jasper. Edward could read what was on his mind, the intimacy he craved. Edward wanted it too, more than anything.
Jasper closed the distance between them.
"It's not wrong." He said out loud, he kissed Edward tenderly and tasted the blood on his lips.
