I love you guys for reviewing! I wasn't too sure about this story, it was just something stupid that I started writing. You guys are awesome!

Little random note, this was not the original second chapter! I decided to change it around because the original didn't sound right!

Sys, you are the best!

Chapter 2

I walked into English and was told to sit next to one of the vampires that I had seen with Jasper. I believe his name was Edward Cullen and he was glaring at me. I was confused to why it was, but I didn't dwell on that fact. Instead, I focused on the class. We were discussing Mythology, which I was pretty happy about.

"Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan." That was just great. "Valkyries." Fine, that made up for the pairing.

The entire class, both of us were silent. I could do this assignment by myself, but we had to be with a partner. It was a project we would be working on both in class and outside. Just thinking about having to spend time with him outside of class made my skin crawl.

After school, I went to the Chevy that Charlie had bought me as I noticed Jasper and the others staring at me. I drove home and started on my homework as I wondered why I had gotten angry at him. Sure, he always frustrated me, but he didn't do any of it on purpose. He probably wouldn't even talk to me now.

The house phone began ringing. "Hello?"

"I just want to get this project out of the way."

"Nice way to say hi. You think I don't?"

"Do you want to finish it now?"

"You can come over here considering you probably know where the police chief lives."

"Do you mind if I pick you up and we work at my place?"

"Whatever."

I hung up and began getting ready to go. I left Charlie a note telling him where I would be and that I had my cell phone. I had a brief thought of giving in and going back to Valhalla, but I couldn't. Returning would mean leaving everything that I had searched for. I gently held my pendant between my fingers as I studied it. The symbol of the Valkyries. The symbol of where I came from, of who I was.

There was a knock on the door and I opened it to see Edward staring back at me. My eyes hardened as I grabbed my bag and followed him out to his Silver Volvo. I noticed that the small pixie was in the back seat, which made my heart soar. Perhaps she wasn't with Jasper, perhaps she was with Edward instead.

The ride was silent and tense as I saw that we were passing the town limits. That made me stiffen as I thought about having to fight them. Fortunately, the car pulled off onto a dirt road. The car was parked in front of a large and beautiful white house. It was strange to see vampires living like humans, but it was something that made me smile.

We walked inside to find Jasper and his other brother, who if I remember correctly was Emmett, playing Guitar Hero. Jasper looked so relaxed, not like how he had been at the school or when I had seen him in the south. It seemed that he was so much happier here, just like I had predicted.

When our eyes met, he froze. I looked down in shame, not wanting to see his hatred for me in his eyes. I felt a hand on my cheek, making me look up at him. Instead of hatred, there was confusion and caring. He wasn't angry at me like I expected him to be, he was still confused about my reactions from earlier.

"Why are you here?"

"Project with your brother."

"And what's the project on?" A big grin came across my lips. "Edward, you may as well just allow her to do the project alone."

"How do you know each other?" Emmett asked.

"We met a long time ago," I answered.

Jasper wrapped his arms around my waist. "She's a...very long story."

I playfully hit him, laughing as Carlisle walked in. I couldn't help but smile as he said, "This is a surprise."

"Hi, Carlisle," I replied. "Guess you're wondering why I'm here?" He nodded. "I was reborn and I moved to live with my dad."

"Ah, you're Bella Swan then."

I nodded as Alice asked, "What do you mean reborn?" I shrugged. "Jasper, why are you acting so close to her?"

"Sorry, Ali," Jasper apologized, kissing her. My heart plummeted. "This is my wife, Alice."

"Hi," I quietly said. "Congratulations, Jazz. She seems like an amazing girl."

"Carlisle," I heard Edward say to quickly for what he assumed I could hear. "I can't hear her thoughts and Alice can't see her future. Jasper seems to be the only one who can use his power on her." I raised an eyebrow towards Carlisle, smirking. "She can't be human."

I giggled. "You're right," I agreed, getting gasps. "I'm not human. Actually, far from it."

"You could call Mist a reaper of sorts," Jasper told them. "She collects souls."

"I collect the souls of warriors," I corrected.

Carlisle sighed and asked, "Are you going to explain what you are?"

I nodded, smiling. "Just don't say I didn't warn you. This isn't a story for little kids." I looked at Jasper. "Do you want me to explain everything?"

"Not just yet."

I nodded as we all sat around. Jasper pulled me to him while Alice went to sit with the others. I could see the anger in her eyes, she was furious about how cozy I was getting with Jasper. Sorry to break it to you, hon, but I know more about who he really is than you will ever know.

Yep, Jasper has secrets from Alice! What are they and why is Jasper's power the only one that works on Bella/Mist? You'll just have to keep reading!

Reviews make me a happy writer and gives me inspiration to write more and faster!
