Chapter 2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had plenty of secrets I've kept not only from Jasper and Maria but all of the newborns I was fighting along with in battle. As i looked in Jasper's eyes and new that I had a new one that I was not ready to divulge I let him follow me to the nearby stream. There as the stream was quietly passing by I looked at him and raised my hand and as I did the water came out of the stream towards me and stopped. I looked around to where I could place it and saw a hole that was big enough to contain it. I quickly moved my arm to the new spot and the water moved. Then I stood in front of the water and with both hands pointed up and instantly the water in the puddle stood up over 8 feet high. I glanced at Jasper wondering what he wanted and he was silent hiding his emotions and surprise. So I took both my arms and let them fall to my side and the water fell on us like rain.
I turned slowly to Jasper keeping my eyes level with his shoulder not looking into his eyes. If they were upset with me I don't know what I would have done. But as I looked up into the dark red eyes I saw hope. He turned away quickly and started walking back to the water edge. "Jennifer. You mustn't tell Maria how much you can actually control this power. We must play it off as something you are just learning about to control. She will want you to bend water to her favor and destroy cities! I have to find a way to get away from her without her hunting us." he turned quickly around to face me cupping my face between his palms, " I will protect you!"
I was scared. I wanted to get away from Maria yes but to actually do it and put myself in harms way. I was nervous about what she would do to not only me but to Jasper, his being her second in command. I let Jasper walk away. Tonight was Wednesday night and I had to get to my escape, it was the only way I knew to control myself and the only redemption I knew to forgive myself for what I was trained to do.
I was 11 months old, only 1 month away from turning a year old as a vampire. Since the time I was turned I have always dressed as a boy. I cut my hair short to try and go unnoticed. As vampires even as newborns I knew I was not fooling anyone. I still claimed the look and think I cared it off pretty well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had to steal young boys clothes in the towns when I could but in the one town I found something that would change me. I heard this singing that was so beautiful so powerful I had to go closer. As I found the church I walked in the back and sat down. No one noticed what they thought was only a little boy listening to the evening church choir. I pulled my hat down lower so any evening sunlight would not touch my skin. The preacher man spoke that night of forgiveness and how singing can lift any spirit. I slipped out the back before he completed his sermon and stole a dress for the next week. I had always sang my entire youth, I had forgotten until then what it did to my soul when I could sing. I did have a soul even though I killed and I killed a lot. But there had to be a way for me to redeem myself and find peace.
Whenever we moved to another town that next night after the destruction and mayhem while the other were celebrating, I sneaked away. I would have to make sure no one could follow me so I'd back track my way back until I passed water and then I lift the water to lead me and to follow me erasing my smell from the ground. This was no easy matter and took many weeks to perfect. I only had to kill one other newborn who had tried to follow me. I found the churches with my super accurate hearing ,but it took me only a few times to conquered my thirst. I wanted to sing and this was the only way I knew I could and the only redemption I knew. Singing erased the need to feed on their blood and I was able to forgive myself for what I had done that day with the army. I was able to overcome the struggle to want blood all the time. I sensed that this was very unlike any newborns of my time. I did not want Jasper or Maria to find out about this hurdle I had conquered. This was my secret!
