Sorry, this chapter is kinda short. But I had to end it where I did, or it wouldn't make sense. The next one will be longer, I promise! Chapter 1: Snapped
JASON POV
I just… lunged. I just couldn't control that thirst anymore.
And she sounded so good. And she smelled good.
And she was right there. On the worst day of my life.
The day I became a Cullen.
"I do." I could hear Bella say.
"Jason!" screamed Felicity.
There was a crash. Wood splintered. The door was no more.
"Hey,-" Cadence stopped short when she saw me. I was crazed. Her voice was hypnotic, lulling me to her, even though she had barely spoken a word. Every nerve in my body wanted to kill her, wanted to drink her, wanted to have her.
She backed away. There was fear in her eyes.
I lunged again, this time for the kill, when two rough hands caught my arms and held me back. I struggled to free myself, but the hands were strong and didn't loosen their grip.
I snarled ferociously at Cadence, who had backed into the wall. She was completely terrified. I could smell it.
"Jason. Go. Back. Inside." said Edward through clenched teeth. And what if I didn't want to father dearest? What if I want a snack?
Jason, listen to him. He means well. Don't blow it, man. Do it for Bella. Do it for Felicity. Do it for me.
My head cleared, and I realized that I had almost ruined everything for us.
I had almost killed an innocent girl.
I hung my head and walked back inside the chapel. How could I have just lost control like that? I felt so helpless.
The rhythm of her heartbeat was still pounding in my ears, and I felt caged in by her presence.
I pressed my ear to the wall, wondering how Bella was going to explain this one. She always bailed me out of bad situations.
"I'm sorry about Jason scaring you." She told Cadence, who was near hysterics. Her heartbeat was off the scales, like a drummer in the middle of his solo.
"Wh-what made him do that? And why did the door smash? Does he hate me? He seems to hate me at school. Is he crazy? Are you?" The questions poured from her mouth like water.
It seemed like they'd been brewing in her mind for a while now. And I thought I'd been so careful, not paying attention to her in class, sneaking in headphones, trying to drown her out. Staring at her at lunch, trying to figure her out.
Why was I so drawn to her? Why did she have to be so pretty? Why me?
I could hear Edward curse under his breath.
"Jason step away from the door." commanded Carlisle, who was still in the chapel.
I had forgotten I wasn't alone. Felicity, Alice, Rose, Emmet, Esme and Jasper were here too. I was far from alone.
"I want to hear why she's here. I said at top speed, not wanting to be heard by Cadence.
She's here for youth group, nosy. Edward's voice said in my mind. I hated when he did that. We had found out not long after Thomas' funeral that the two of us could communicate telepathically.
A thought crossed my mind. It shocked me to the bone.
"I can't read her mind." I whispered. I can't read her mind, but Edward can. Is what I thought.
"I think we need to talk, Jason. About something important." Alice said slowly, "But I need you calm."
Uh-oh. Alice was never serious. Not unless it was big. I began to panic. Something must be wrong with me, I must me a freak of nature. Well, I already am. But, a freak by even freak standards.
My anguish dissipated, and a feeling of calm washed over me. Jasper.
"Did I ever tell you the story of how Edward met Bella?"
So, do you think Cadence is driving Jason crazy much?
Or Even better: Is Jason falling in love with her?
Ahh... I love foreshadowing
Haha,
