Chapter 2: Meetings and Reunions: The Cullen's
Bella's P.O.V:
I was flying over a rather dense and lush forest and the sun was just starting to light up the sky. I knew I was now in Washington and hopefully on course to Forks. I heard the faint sounds of cars in the distance meaning I was close to a highway. I dived towards a clearing and landed on a low branch. I changed to a squirrel and scampered to the forest floor where I changed to a silver and white wolf and bounded towards the highway. I found a sign on the side of the highway that said "Welcome to Forks-----Population: 3,120 people-----Rainiest place in the continental U.S.-----Home of the Spartans" I rolled my eyes. "There doesn't seem to be enough information on that sign, why didn't they include every fact about this place there is?" I thought, sarcastically. I walked back into the shadows of the forest and bounded towards the town. The trees flashed by and I became caught up in my thoughts. God, I mean, Satan, I hate the rain. You would think the daughter of the Devil would like dark places that have no Sun, but no. I love the Sun, its warmth reminds me of the underworld. Ah well, you can't get everything. Wait, rain, that means there's probably vampires, which means there's shape-shifters which means Blackheart lives here! Damn, just when I thought I had gotten away from him, I go to his town. Just my luck, God must hate me, oh right, he does. Damn. I was now in the forests surrounding the town so I slowed down and sniffed the air. I found the scent I was looking for and quickly followed it. I'm on my way to meet my 'Dad'. For obvious reasons, me father doesn't live here and I was actually meeting one of his friends, Charlie Swan. Charlie is supposedly my uncle and when my 'mom' died, he adopted me. The truth is when I almost died at 16 yrs of age, my parents of this life died instead. My dad, real dad, sent one of his lesser demon's to "pretend to be my guardian so I don't get in trouble with the law". As if, he probably actually sent Charlie here to watch over me and protect me and all that crap. It's not like I needed to be watched or protected, I was more powerful than any creature on the surface of the Earth but dads will be dads. One good thing that will come of this is that I will not have to hide what I am when its just the three of us and I'll be able to do whatever I want because I am much more powerful than him. If he didn't want to agree with me on something, I could just threaten to castrate him and everything will be just fine; in my opinion anyways. Charlie? He probably won't be as keen on the idea.
I had arrived at a big clearing and I sat in the shadows of the forest to study my surroundings. In front of me was a beautiful white mansion. No, not all demons love black or blood color. Sataness, where do people come up with these stereotypes? Shaking my head at human folly, I looked closer at the mansion in front of me. The building was very modern with countless windows looking out at all directions. With my amazing eyesight, I peeked inside and saw the inside was decorated extremely tastefully. Everything, from the color of the walls to where each photo frame was placed, was deliberate and helped to improve the general outlook of the place.
I was startled out of my detailed scrutiny when the door to the beautiful mansion opened and a boy, who looked to be about 17, walked down the steps and headed towards me. Just as I was contemplating what to do, he stopped abruptly and stared at where I was hidden among the trees. The wind shifted messing up his coppery hair even more and blew his scent towards me. It smelled like honey mixed with a bit of lilac. It burned my nose and added to his eyes, I knew immediately he wasn't human. VAMPIRE! SATAN HELP ME! I walked out of the trees growling and keeping low to the ground, ready to pounce if needed.
"JASPER! Get your ass out here NOW! I'm in a shit load of trouble!" He yelled, most likely to someone in the house. I then acted in a way that was very unlike me and seemed to surprise the boy as well, I started whimpering and laid down on the ground in the wolf's submission position. The reason for this undignified act? In one of my lives, I had a little brother named Jasper. He joined the Confederate army during the Civil War and went M.I.A., missing in action. He had been my best friend and understandably, I became extremely distraught.
"What's wrong?" the boy asked me with, amazingly, concern in his voice. I was already quite amazed that he hadn't just attacked me, I mean, vampires can usually take lone shape-shifter and he obviously knew there were shape-shifter in the area. In fact, if I remember correctly, they happened to be wolves. Just then another person came out of the house and I was brought out of my musings. He had honey blond hair. OMS! I started jumping around, barking and wagging my tail. It IS my brother Jasper! I hadn't thought that I would ever see Jazzy again much less as a vampire! Jazzy looked at me and a smile threatened to break out. He was apparently quite amused at my display.
"This is what you needed saving from Edward?" he said to the first boy and even I couldn't stop a short bark of laughter leak out. Hmm…Edward, the name suits him, I thought.
"I…I don't know what happened. One minute this, um, wolf was baring his, hers, its teeth then it suddenly started whimpering then when you came out, well, you can see for yourself." He, Edward, looked sheepish and gave Jazzy a small grin. Jazzy just chuckled, obviously enjoying the boy's discomfort. When he managed to calm down, they both turned to me with a look of wonder in their eyes although Jazz's still held some caution, most likely due to his time in the army.
"Do you want to phase and talk to us? You are a shape-shifter right? Hmm, I can't seem to read your mind, I wonder why…" he suddenly trailed off and looked at me. He gave me a grin and I couldn't help but grin back, although I probably only scared him with all my teeth. I turned and trotted back into the trees. I searched through my memory and brought out the girl that had been Jasper's sister. Concentrating, I phased back into a human and made myself just like the me that had lived during Jazzy's time. Not just appearance, but everything, scent, voice, everything, even clothes. I had long honey blond hair, golden eyes and a petite figure. I was wearing a blue top, blue leather jacket, blue earrings, black boots, and black skinny jeans. (A/N: Pics on Insane-Southerner-16's profile!) When I was satisfied, I turned and walked out of the forest to where they were standing. I kept my head down so Jazz wouldn't be able to see me clearly.
"Jasper, Jasper, Jasper. How many times have I told you?!" I said with a heavy southern accent "don't leave the house unless you let me know and what do you go off and do? You join the army, goes missing in action and leaves me all alone!" I lifted up my head as I finished my rant and he gasped. What I wouldn't give to have caught it on camera, oh well.
"Johanna!!!" He yelled, with a huge smile on his face, "Get you skinny little ass over here girl before I have to come and kick it!" he drawled out. I laughed and ran to him jumping into his embrace. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist and planted kisses all over his face. I was ecstatic; I was looking at my very own brother! We were both laughing, brimming with happiness but a feral snarl ripped through the air. Jasper put me down and looked sheepishly at a tiny little girl.
"Hi" I waved shyly. She just growled in response and kept glaring daggers at me. I was getting very confused. Why did she seem so hostile towards me? I've just met her for Satan's sake! I was also starting to get annoyed.
"ALICE? DON'T!" Edward yelled and the next thing I know, I'm on the ground with a crazed blood-lusting pixie on my chest, literally. She was snapping and scratching at me but I easily kept her from doing any damage. The pressure is suddenly gone and Edward helped me up. I looked around to find Jasper crouched protectively in front of me keeping the pixie away from me. I placed a hand on his shoulder and he looked up at me and I gave him a look that said "Tell me what in hell is going on right NOW!". He sighed and stood up beside me although he did wrap his arm around me. Ah, little brothers, its always nice when they listen to you.
"Johanna, this, is Alice, my wife and soul mate. Alice this is…" he started but was cut off by me squealing and running to Alice and pulling her into a giant hug. She was apparently still not happy with me as she screamed, "GET. OFF. ME. NOW. YOU. BITCHY. WHORE." at me. I let go and ran to Jasper who pulled me into a hug. I wasn't offended, now that I knew she was Jazzy's wife, I could see why she was so offended by me being here. However, me being me and always wanting fun, I decided to play along with the role she had mistakenly assigned to me. I started 'crying' and Jasper hugged me close, comforting me.
"What the hell Alice?! What's wrong with you?!" He demanded.
"Not my fault your wife from when you were human is so emotional." She responded. I had been trying to hide my laughter this whole time but her calling me Jazzy's wife was just too much. I cracked up and Jazzy joined me after a moment of staring at Alice with an incredulous look.
Alice did not like us laughing at her, at all, "WHAT IS SO FUNNY?!" She yelled at us. Her face was so funny; it looked like when you told a child "no desserts till you finish your vegetables." It made Jasper stop laughing and move towards her but it simply made me laugh harder. I was soon holding my sides and rolling around on the ground. She glared at me and I finally noticed that 4 more people had joined us outside and was now, along with Edward, staring at me with a look of confusion and fear. Not the type of fear where they're afraid you might kill them, no, it's the type where people are thinking your crazy and they're not sure what you might do next. I felt that maybe I had laughed at poor Alice's expense long enough and that I probably didn't want Jazzy's vampire family to all shun me. I tried to stop laughing, really, but I just couldn't. All of a sudden, I stopped laughing for no particular reason. I recognized this as a sign of an empath and realized I had let parts of my shield down due all the excitement of the past few minutes. Following the calm emotion, I traced its source back to …Jasper? Hmm, I guess Jazz is an empath. I wonder what other powers this family has? Normally, when ever I meet someone new I would find out their powers to know what I could be up against but I seem to have forgotten. Stupid, I thought to myself, it's this kind of carelessness that could get me killed! I searched through the rest of the family and discovered that Edward is a mind reader while Alice is a physic, not bad for one family although it is unnaturally large.
I glared at Jasper, "Stop if you want to live to see another day. Plus that is sooooo not fair Jazzy!!" I told him completely serious. He stopped, immediately. He also stuck his tongue out maturely and I returned the gesture immaturely. Everyone chuckled, albeit somewhat nervously, at this display. Other than Alice of course, who was STILL glaring at me. I turned to her and returned her glare, she flinched, I chuckled.
"I'm sorry Alice, Jasper never got the chance to introduce us. Sheesh Jazz, where have your manners gone?" I fake scolded him, he just rolled his eyes and I continued, "My name is Johanna Marie Whitlock. I see you married my little brother Major Jasper Whitlock." Alice gasped, then looked down, obviously embarrassed for her behavior towards me.
Jasper however, groaned "Your only older by 5 minutes!" He whined.
"Who Was Born First?" I asked.
"You were" He grumbled.
"So no matter what 5 seconds, 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 weeks or 5 years, I am still older." I shot back. He huffed and crossed his arms childishly. I rolled my eyes at his behavior and we both laughed. Edward suddenly gasped and all of my attention was immediately shifted to him.
"What?!" I asked, alarmed at the thought of a possible threat.
"Your Jasper's Twin Sister!" Edward pointed out, needlessly.
"Oh, don't do that! I thought something was seriously wrong! And yes, I am his twin sister, thank you for pointing out the oblivious." I scolded him, holding a hand to my heart while exaggerating my breathing. He gave me a grin.
"Now then, as much as I would love to hang around and chat, I have somewhere to go. Would it be alright if I come back tonight?" I asked.
"Of course dear, you're welcome anytime!" replied a women who had been standing to the side. I assumed that she was the "mother" of the coven as she had a kind motherly air about her and she had replied to my question. I gave Jazz one last hug and after waving goodbye to everyone else, I changed into a black panther and ran back into the trees. Last thing I heard before I left hearing range was "Dude, that is so cool! How did she do that? You have a awesome sister Jasper." followed by a smack and a yelp. I chuckled and found Charlie's scent again to meet him.
